A small oasis that supports hundreds of lives of the Khozau tribe may not be appropriate, after all, the Khozot people have lived here for generations, and they are truly indigenous to the region. I don't know when it originated, and I don't know where it came from, but all the memories of every Horsuo person since the beginning of their memories are in this oasis that covers an area of several hectares, with more yellow sand than vegetation.

The Horsuo people wore animal skin skirts around their waists and were naked.

Sturdy men roamed around in a queue, carrying large bows weighing tens of pounds, or using hemp rope to combine long wooden branches and sharpened stones into the most primitive spears. The women were busy skinning and deboning the freshly slaughtered camels for pickling, and the children ran freely through the streets of the tribe, carrying scorpions and snakes caught from under the carpets and shoes at home, and handing them to the old people sitting at the door of their homes. The children were complimented and went back to catch snakes and scorpions. The Horsuo people, who live an almost primitive life in isolation, carry the same primitive happiness in their small tribe.

At this time, the Khoso tribe is very lively, they will usher in the biggest day in the tribe, this festival is held every three years, everyone prays together, dances the bonfire dance together, so as to hope to be blessed by the ancestors, on this day, the food accumulated by every household must be taken out, and the whole tribe will gather together for a full meal. No one will not help, because they know that laziness will be reprimanded by their ancestors, and the industrious people of Horsuo will not tolerate lazy people as their partners.

There is a well in the very center of the tribe, which is said to be a well, but in fact it is just a puddle with a diameter of less than one meter, the puddle is very deep, and it is surrounded by a circle of large stones that have been pulled by the Horsuo people from a long distance, and the large stones are surrounded by a circle of branches of the Saxon tree, which is used to reduce the evaporation of water and prevent the destruction of certain animals. Strange to say, although the puddle is deep, it is far from unfathomable, but even the oldest man in the tribe will have this puddle in his childhood memory, and the puddle is like a dark river connected to the ground, which will never dry up. So the people of Horsuo, who have been blessed by it for generations, gave it a very beautiful name, called "Mother Well".

At this time, on the stone by the puddle sat an old man cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his expression solemn. He was surrounded by a group of very young children, the children's dark little faces were full of seriousness, they listened carefully to the prayers of the old people, occasionally naughty children caught the sand and sprinkled the hair of the children next to them, and they would always be slapped on the shoulder by the older children on the other side, most of them just served as a warning and did not hurt, occasionally there were children who could not control their strength, and the naughty little guy who was beaten did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the old man on the stone.

"You lazy man, follow me to the chief!"

A commotion attracted the attention of everyone by the puddle, and the old man opened his eyes and looked helplessly at the man and woman approaching him. The man's body was slightly fat, and at this time, his hair that was messy like a chicken coop was caught in the hands of a woman, who wore a tough grass skirt, a piece of camel skin wrapped around her chest at random, a flat lower abdomen, round long legs, and a healthy wheat complexion that was more attractive in the sun.

The woman tore the man to the puddle, her two hands wrapped around the man's neck, and suddenly exerted force, the man lost his center of gravity, and with the woman's shoulder as the fulcrum, the whole fat body crossed a large circle in the air and fell to the ground heavily. The woman immediately kicked on the fat man's face and said to the stunned old man: "My esteemed chief, this damn guy stole the food I prepared for the ancestors, you order, even if I use this fat pig's heart as a substitute, I will absolutely obey, even if the child in my belly is not Abba, don't let him know that my Abba is a lazy waste." ”

The old man who was revered as the chief suddenly felt a big head, this woman was the bravest female warrior in the tribe, she had been looking for people everywhere to challenge her since she was a child, and almost all the warlike men in the tribe made her fight. When she reached the age of marriage, no one dared to marry her, only the most useless man in the entire tribe, Haji, privately expressed his willingness to be her husband, married for more than ten years, Haji was beaten almost every day, and everyone in the tribe was not surprised. Just as the old man was thinking deeply about how to persuade him, Haji suddenly cried at the woman's feet: "Amu, pay attention to safety, don't hurt the child!" The wizard said, you should recuperate now, recuperate! ”

As expected, Haji, who was screaming, was kicked in the back of the head by his wife Amu, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.

The old man finally persuaded Amu, who had been unrelenting, and found two more men to carry away the fat Haji, he shook his head helplessly, waved his hand to call a tall and strong man, he pondered a little, and said: "Maka, our grand festival is coming, you lead the warriors of the tribe to patrol around, go farther, and bring him back when you see a suspicious person, during the ancestral worship period, I don't want any problems to arise." ”

Seeing Maca nodding expressionlessly, the old man continued: "Let those children out, they are children after all, no matter what their purpose is, it is enough to lock them up for so many days as punishment." If they are willing to participate in our ancestor worship conference, we have barbecue meat and fruit wine, and if they dare to make trouble, our Khosso tribe also has spears and war knives! ”

Two off-road vehicles stopped on a sand dune, and the further they went, the more they lamented the insignificance of life. They were afraid, afraid of knocking over the bucket, afraid that the remaining gasoline would not be enough to support them out of the desert, afraid that the car would stagger into the quicksand, afraid of encountering unknown creatures, and even Fu Bo, who had been chattering, had a more and more solemn face.

"Curse the old man Xiongqi for alcoholism!" Mu Qinghe walked out of the car in short sleeves, the car was simply a big stuffy furnace, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was terrifying, even if the bodies of the two cars were improved by the weapons department and used materials with excellent heat dissipation, but during the day, you can also fry eggs on the wagon, and at night it will be cold and scary, and you may not be able to sleep with two coats.

"Damn bastards." A big black man in shorts in the car behind him walked over swearing.

"Fubo, who are you scolding?" Xiaomi approached Fubo and smiled evilly: "How do I feel that what you said covers a wide range?" ”

Fu Bo scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, give me half a ham sausage in your pocket!" ”

"Are you a dog's eyes, you can see them?" Xiaomi hurriedly covered his pocket, but he didn't want to be snatched away by Fubo.

"Mu Qinghe, it's too passive to find it like this, I've suffered their losses, that tribe's reconnaissance scope is very wide, it is possible that our whereabouts have been exposed now." Shengyou ran to the highest point of the sand dune and looked around.

Hearing Shengyou's shout, Yumeng, who was squatting on the ground and poking a little bit, also stood up, frowned and said: "This sand dune is the highest place nearby, the sand is too hot, it is very unrealistic for those natives to hide under here to spy on us, they should be far away from us now, and they will have a chance at night, Shengyou is right, we are too passive like this, we must come up with a plan before dark." ”

Mu Qinghe saw that both of them were looking at him with inquiring eyes, and then he remembered that he was the nominal captain after all, although he had never been optimistic about himself.

"Hey, Great Sage, you come down first, let's discuss it together." Mu Qinghe raised his head and shouted, Shengyou heard Mu Qinghe calling him, looked around again and walked down.

"I just saw a few ripples in the sand, and there may be rattlesnakes here." Yumeng raised his hand and straightened his sunhat, and also walked over with his long legs.

"That's great, I'll roast snake meat for you to eat in a while, so you can see how good I am." Fu Bo gritted his teeth and smiled, followed by Xiaomi, who had just fought and lost.

"You can see this sand dune from a long distance, right?" Mu Qinghe sat on the sand with his legs crossed, and asked a strange question, "If you light a bonfire at night, can you see it from farther away?" ”

Shengyou's eyes lit up, and Yumeng nodded thoughtfully.

"Fubo, I've eaten enough cold bread, I'll give you a barbecue tonight." Yu Meng said with a smile: "Since they are in the shadows, then we will lure them out and let them catch us, they who think they are safe will definitely take us back to the tribe, so that we can enter the tribe without any effort and do not have to worry about emergencies." Mu Qinghe, a good way. ”

"What do you say?" Mu Qinghe saw the admiring eyes of his partners, and instantly blushed, "I mean, in the place where the stars and the moon are shining, eating barbecue comfortably, thinking about it, it should be a very beautiful thing, right?" ”

The surrounding partners scattered in a hurry, but Mu Qinghe laughed.

He remembered that when he was in high school, there was a normal summer afternoon, and the beautiful women at the same table shouted that they were going to have a barbecue in the evening, and the stressful study life was the most likely to breed the idea of Pegasus meteors, and the two of them looked at the green outside the window and listened to the cicadas. I remember saying that when I dug a pit in the desert, the mutton should be wrapped in lamb belly and placed in the sand pit, and the mutton cooked at the temperature of the sand should be roasted in a charcoal fire, and the meat is the freshest and most fragrant. At that time, Liu Tingting was greedy, and the two talked about this issue for a long time, I don't remember how long they talked about it, anyway, it should be a long time, right.

That night, the boys brought beer and food out of the buggy, and the girls picked up dead branches to prepare a bonfire, lighting a bonfire and dancing with snakes in the heart of the Sahara Desert, a land that few people visited!
