Chapter 4: Flowers Born of Evil (part 3 of 3)
As soon as the picture turned, Ling Xiaohan had already entered the disco with Wu Lai and Pi Yang at this time, and Jiang Jiahua was riding his motorcycle, and soon came to the front of the discotheque, parked the motorcycle, and then walked straight into the main entrance of the discotheque. And at this moment, Ling Xiaohan heard the call prompt of her mobile phone again, and when she took out her mobile phone, she saw that it was Ju Meow's call.
This fat orange just called me at noon, and now he is calling again, and it seems that he is going to compromise with me...... I heard that his parents are going to meet my parents today...... I understand, his parents are probably going to propose to my family, so he has to show favor to me! Hehe, this time the fat orange is going to lose in my hands, I must take this opportunity to suppress him, who called him to deliberately snub me in order to retaliate against me! ’
Ling Xiaohan thought about it, and finally pressed the reject button, just to deliberately make Ju Meow anxious.
And Ju Meow, who called Ling Xiaohan while riding, saw that her call was rejected again, and she really couldn't figure out whether she was busy or doing it now. At that moment, Ju Meow had a mood of not wanting to care about her affairs, and felt that she didn't understand the situation, in case she was just playing with her friends, and she would definitely be laughed at by her if she appeared in front of her so inexplicably, and she would be laughed at if she was like, and words like 'stalker' and 'leper dog' would be said by her, thinking of this, Ju Meow turned the battery car and parked it directly on the side of the road, and began to hesitate whether to go.
'Now in this situation, whether I will go or not, if I go, maybe it will be a trip for nothing, and I will be scolded by her, after all, she is not a child anymore, she should know what kind of person is suitable for making friends, but if you don't go, it will be difficult to explain to Ju Pheasant, and if the Ling family knows, they will blame me, there is! I'll call her sister and ask her sister to deal with it, I'll go home and play games.
Ju Meow thought about it carefully, and felt that it was more appropriate to explain the matter to Ling Xiaoyan.
Ju Meow: "Hey, Sister Ling is good, I'm Ju Meow"
Ling Xiaoyan: "Ouch, isn't this a future brother-in-law, how about it?" Are you okay with Hanhan today? ”
Ju Meow: "Hehe, I'm here to talk about this, I think you might have to go see her"
Ling Xiaoyan: "Huh? What's the situation, did you two quarrel again? ”
Ju Meow: "I didn't quarrel, I haven't seen her yet, but my sister saw her, and I heard that she went to Bundi with two boys"
Ling Xiaoyan: "This ...... It's unlikely, Hanhan she's not that kind of person, don't get me wrong, maybe your sister is wrong."
Ju Meow: "Of course, there is also this possibility, but this is not the point......
Ling Xiaoyan: "The point? ”
Ju Meow: "Well, that's right, my sister said that the two people who are with her now, it's possible, it's just that it's possible......"
Ling Xiaoyan: "What could it be?" ”
Ju Meow: "Possibly...... The conduct is not so good, that's why they called me and asked me to come and take a look."
Ling Xiaoyan: "What!?" ”
Ju Meow: "But I just called her, and she refused to answer, so I wonder if she is playing with her friends and doesn't want to be disturbed, in this case, it is really inconvenient for me to see her, but in case what my sister said is true, the situation is indeed a bit bad, so, I think about it, or tell you, it's best if you can go over and see her, but don't say that I told you, otherwise, she will definitely think I'm nosy, and I'll do it again!" ”
When Ling Xiaoyan heard Ju Meow's words, she felt uneasy in her heart for some reason, and she always felt that something was going to happen......
Ling Xiaoyan: "Ju Meow, can you just beg me?" ”
Ju Meow: "Huh? What? ”
Ling Xiaoyan: "I'm still outside now, I may not be able to leave, but I'm really worried about the cold, can you help me go over and take a look?" Don't worry, if she wants to mess with you again, you can tell her that I let you go, and I will bear all the consequences! ”
Ju Meow: "This ...... It's a little ......, or else, I'll transfer the location that my sister sent me to you, you'd better go and see it yourself, to be honest, I don't want to provoke her"
Ling Xiaoyan: "Ju Meow, I know that Han Han's personality is a bit problematic, but after all, the two of you grew up together, if she is really in danger, you can't stay out of it, right?" ”
Ju Meow: "Hey...... I know, then I'll take a look, the address has been transferred to you, and it's best if you have time."
Ling Xiaoyan: "Well, I know, then my sister will ask you!" ”
Although Ju Meow didn't want to meet Ling Xiaohan for 10,000, her sister said it like this, and it would be really bad if she continued to shirk it, after all, she had to take care of her mother's face. Thinking of this, Ju Meow started the battery car again and went to the destination disco.
At this time, Ling Xiaoyan put down the phone, but she still couldn't rest assured in her heart anyway, when she dialed her sister's phone, no one answered, three or four in a row, still no one answered, the sense of uneasiness quickly expanded in her heart, Ling's father and mother on the side saw that her daughter was uncomfortable, but Ling Xiaohan didn't dare to say anything, because after all, Ju's father and Ju's mother were also there, at this time, if she told her sister about jumping with two boys in the middle of the night, it would definitely affect her sister's image in the heart of Ju's father and mother. So I casually found an excuse and left my seat, and hurriedly ran to the door and took a taxi to the place where Ju Meow had sent it. On the way to the taxi, Ling Xiaoyan did not forget to continue to contact her sister, but no one answered, and an ominous premonition rose in Ling Xiaoyan's heart.
At this time, the discotheque, accompanied by dynamic music, and the dim environment of the room, let the people present fall into a slight state of excitement, red, green and purple laser lights swept into the crowd, and the dancers who writhed their bodies in the dark were presented in front of everyone, which made the people around them more crazy swaying, under the stimulation of alcohol, people naturally released their nature, the most primitive attraction began to interact with each other, and the two people who were attracted by chance naturally approached, and then began to further release male and female hormones, No matter whether men and women find the person who is attracted to each other, they can directly embrace each other, any etiquette and morality can no longer restrain them, even if they already have a family, it is also their family outside, and in this they only belong to themselves, they no longer have to bear the commitment and responsibility of their families, there is absolute freedom of life here, some men and women who are uncontrollable can directly hug each other, and enjoy this moment with a hot dance, since it is a place of indulgence, men will become octopus monsters, The tentacles search around for information about the prey in the sea, and the woman is the hunter who pretends to be the prey, waiting for the fish to take the bait, which is called taking what you need, everyone knows the other's intentions, and there is no fault or responsibility for whom.
And in the corner of the dance floor, Ling Xiaohan and Wu Lai were already dancing hotly, the two of them showed their dancing posture face to face, the distance between their bodies was getting closer and closer, and they often collided inadvertently, and Ling Xiaohan was so open, Wu Lai was naturally very satisfied, the hand placed on Ling Xiaohan's waist could even feel the temperature of her body, Ling Xiaohan looked at the little milk dog in front of him with a smile in his eyes, although he felt that he was a little unruly, but he only dodged his movements intentionally or unintentionally, but the distance between the two did not open up, Wu Lai thought that this was to refuse and welcome, so he simply boldly held Ling Xiaohan's thin waist with two hands, and tried to hold it in his arms, but Ling Xiaohan dodged it again, and gently pushed it away from him for a distance, then turned around and walked towards rest, Wu Lai was a little anxious at this time, he was worried that the other party saw that he was anxious, in case he left, it would be a little difficult to do, according to past experience, this time it was messed up, and it would be very difficult to ask her out next time, so he hurriedly chased after her.
Wu Lai: "Little sister, why don't you jump?" ”
Ling Xiaohan: "I'm a little tired, I want to drink something"
Wu Lai: "No problem, wait for me to get it for you"
Ling Xiaohan: "I want a glass of coconut milk"
Wu Lai: "Is it okay to have coconut milk wine on ice?" ”
Ling Xiaohan: "...... Yes"
After a moment's hesitation, he answered.
Wu Lai saw that he did not escape, but he was very happy, so he went straight to the counter, invited the familiar bartender to the seat, and demonstrated the unique coconut milk wine production process of the store in front of the two, the signature coconut milk wine of this store is famous far and wide, and the bartender's skills are even better, even if he shows the bartending process in front of others, others can't make the same taste of coconut milk wine, Ling Xiaohan didn't expect Wu Lai to be so row-out here, and the appearance of the bartender in front of him is naturally very handsome. In short, no matter which one has to throw a few streets away, Ling Xiaohan looked at the bartender's slender fingers shaking the bartender, his face couldn't help but flush, Wu Lai on the side also took the opportunity to talk to her, which made her very happy, at this time Wu Lai boldly pinched Ling Xiaohan's ears with his hand, seeing that he had acquiesced to this behavior, his heart was naturally very happy, it didn't take long for the coconut milk wine to be mixed, Wu Lai and Ling Xiaohan drank more than ten glasses, Ling Xiaohan's face turned even redder, Wu Lai chatted with him, And Ling Xiaohan looked at the coconut milk wine he had drunk and the handsome little guy Wu Lai in front of him in the chat, and he had an idea in his heart.
This coconut milk is indeed delicious and thirst-quenching, just like the little handsome guy in front of me, and that fat orange is like a bitter medicine, and I am not sick, so why do I have to choose him? ’
At this time, Ling Xiaohan once again compared Ju Meow with Wu Lai in front of him, and the result of the comparison was naturally Wu Lai's complete victory.
Wu Lai saw that Ling Xiaohan was a little stunned, so he accosted him on the side.
Wu Lai: "Little sister, what's wrong?" Tired? Need me do something for you? ”
Ling Xiaohan: "Hehe, I'm not tired, I just thought of someone who made me angry"
Wu Lai: "Who is so bold as to dare to make the young lady angry, I'll help you fix him"
Ling Xiaohan: "It's a friend of mine, my family is very optimistic about him, I have to be with him, he has also liked me since high school, and has been pursuing me, but I am still young and don't want to fall in love, so I haven't agreed, but my family seems to have begun to discuss marriage with his family, so I have a little headache." ”
Wu Lai: "Cut, what age is this, and there is still a marriage arranged by my parents?" ”
Ling Xiaohan: "Yes, they are all some old antiques, always saying that he is a stable and reliable person, so let me marry, but I am not interested in him at all, how can we get along together, it is nerve-wracking"
Wu Lai: "Little sister, if your family keeps putting pressure on you, why don't I elope with you......"
Ling Xiaohan: "Really? ”
Wu Lai: "Of course it's true"
Ling Xiaohan: "But how do we live after elopement?" ”
Wu Lai: "Don't worry, I can go to work to support you."
Ling Xiaohan: "Hehe, then let's decide, if I feel too stressed, you can elope with me."
Wu Lai: "No problem! ”
Wu Lai was very happy when he saw that the time had come, and invited Ling Xiaohan to the dance floor again.
At this moment, Ling Xiaohan gradually felt that his body was a little hot, his heartbeat was a little fast, this was a good place to release his nature, Ling Xiaohan was a girl who pursued freedom, so he agreed to Wu Lai's request, so he entered the dance floor with him, and Jiang Jiahua and Pi Oxy, who came with him, had been watching Ling Xiaohan not far away, looking forward to some things in the near future, and even the restless light was beating in his eyes, at this time, Ling Xiaohan and Wu Lai came to the dance floor again, and the two of them twisted their bodies again with the music, This time is different from just now, after Ling Xiaohan drank coconut milk wine and learned that Wu Lai was willing to elope with him, he even regarded him as his boyfriend at this moment, looking at him with a little love in his eyes, the dance steps were more active, and the physical contact was more resistant, when the two people hugged each other, Ling Xiaohan suddenly looked at the ceiling, the cool lights on the roof made her very emotional for a moment, and her body was directly pasted, although the two had known each other for a short time, but Ling Xiaohan firmly believed that this was the fate of the two, After all, fate is not a matter of acquaintance, but to see whether it is tempting, Ling Xiaohan, who has never felt like this for Ju Meow, has already hugged Wu Lai's neck with his arms at this time, and Wu Lai is also very interested in staring at Ling Xiaohan's eyes with his eyes, although the two did not speak, but the eye contact has already shown their intentions, Wu Lai took Ling Xiaohan into his arms, Ling Xiaohan did not refuse, but his legs were weak and paralyzed in Wu Lai's arms, no matter what he did, he was also willing.
All the people on the dance floor are hidden in the darkness, only when the laser light above the head flashes by chance, can you see the men and women hugging each other, and Wu Lai and Ling Xiaohan are also one of the pair, Ling Xiaohan has not found a suitable job these days, and Ju Meow's attitude towards herself also makes her really annoyed, the depressed mood has been alleviated here in the past few days, her heart is naturally very happy, and she is carried away at the moment, although the two have not officially announced each other's titles, But at this moment, they treat each other as boyfriend and girlfriend, and at this time they can't help but think of Ju Meow, although Ju Meow and Ling Xiaohan met in high school, and later the two families also intended to match the two, but so far Ling Xiaohan's hand has never touched Ju Meow, did you ever think that Ling Xiaohan was such an amorous person?
Soon after, Ling Xiaohan felt a burst of drunkenness, Wu Lai proposed to find a place to rest, seeing that he was silent, he acquiesced to his proposal, at this time Wu Lai's face showed a touch of pride, today is probably the right result, so he beckoned two companions to come over, let Jiang Jiahua drive the motorcycle to the back door, and he had to go to the bar to check out (is a member here), and asked Pi Oxygen to take Ling Xiaohan to the back door, Pi Oxygen hurriedly helped Ling Xiaohan into his arms, and walked to the back door with joy, and soon Pi Oxygen came to the back door, There is a passage here that is empty, the whole passage is pitch black, only a small dark orange lamp with very low brightness illuminated, looking at Ling Xiaohan, who is slightly drunk in his arms, Pi Yang has long forgotten that he is a person with a girlfriend, and he can't care about the woman and girlfriend in his arms are best friends, after all, the appearance of this beauty in front of him is compared to his girlfriend, it is simply a crushing existence, although he has promised with his two companions before, he doesn't care about Ling Xiaohan, but when he really has a chance, In fact, as early as the first time he saw Ling Xiaohan, he had been fascinated by Ling Xiaohan's appearance, but he was shameless and wealthless, and because the other party was his girlfriend's best friend, he could only think about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to do anything, and now his companion has won the heart of the goddess, and he is jealous and envious in his heart, in line with the life creed that he can't miss if he has the opportunity, A wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In the dim passage, we can't see what happened, only the sound of salsa coming from the fabric being turned over, and the person who broke the silence was Wu Lai's scolding, and Pi Oxy's screams because he was kicked down, when the mobile phone flashlight in Wu Lai's hand shone on Pi Oxy's face, we saw a lewd and unwilling face, Pi Itch's hand seemed to be holding white clothes, and it was deliberately hidden behind him, Wu Lai knew this person very well, and probably guessed his intentions.
Wu Lai: "Hey, don't delay the time, hurry up and help Ling Xiaohan out"
Pi Oxygen: "Oh, okay, this is going to help you out"
Seeing that Wu Lai didn't do anything because of this matter, he hurriedly stood up and helped Ling Xiaohan to walk out.
Wu Lai: "You are not authentic, you forgot what you said?" ”
Say as you go.
Pi Oxygen: "Ah, I...... ...... for a while"
Wu Lai: "Forget it, it's not the first time you've done this, you're really a fool."
Pi Oxygen: "I'm a fool, I'm not productive"
In this way, Pi Oxygen helped Ling Xiaohan to the door, at this time Jiang Jiahua was already sitting on the motorcycle, and motioned to put Ling Xiaohan behind him, and finally Wu Lai sat on Ling Xiaohan's back again, so that Ling Xiaohan was firmly fixed in the middle and would not fall, and Pi Oxygen needed to take a taxi to the hotel where they had opened the room.
Pi Yang walked to the street in front of the main entrance of the disco and used the taxi app to find a taxi.
And just when Pi Oxygen was waiting for the car, Ju Pheasant and Zhuo Yifan, who were not far away, soon found him, Ju Pheasant saw him coming out of the back door alone, and suddenly felt that the situation was not right, and he couldn't care so much, so he rushed up directly, and Zhuo Yifan was worried that Ju Pheasant would suffer, so he also rushed up, and at this time, the taxi also arrived, just when Pi Oxygen wanted to pull the car door, Ju Pheasant grabbed his clothes.
Pheasant: "Stop! You are not allowed to go."
Pi Oxygen: "You, who are you?" ”
Ju Pheasant: "You don't care who I am, what about the girl who was with you just now?" ”
Pioxy: "Huh? I don't know."
As soon as he heard the other party mention Ling Xiaohan, he instinctively became nervous.
Ju Pheasant: "You don't know? She just entered the disco with you, why are you coming out by yourself now? Where is she? ”
Pi Oxygen: "I don't know, do you recognize the wrong person?"
Pheasant: "Impossible, I know you"
Pi Oxygen: "I don't know you, you hurry up"
Ju Pheasant: "If you don't tell me where that girl is, I won't let you go"
Pi Oxygen: "You, if you don't let go, I'm going to call the police!" ”
Ju Pheasant: "Okay, call the police!" ”
Pi Oxygen didn't know what to do for a while, the taxi driver was a little anxious, and asked him to cancel the order if he didn't go, and drove away, at this time another taxi stopped in front of several people, and when the door opened, Ling Xiaoyan walked out of the car, and Ju Pheasant, who saw Ling Xiaoyan, suddenly saw a savior.
Ju Pheasant: "Sister Yanyan! ”
Ling Xiaoyan: "Are you ...... Pheasant? ”
Ju Pheasant: "It's me!" ”
Ling Xiaoyan: "Thank you, I heard Ju Meow say, you saw my sister with two strange boys?" ”
Ju Pheasant: "Well, it's him, about 20 minutes ago, he and another boy entered the disco with Sister Hanhan, but now he came out by himself, but Sister Hanhan didn't come out!" ”
When Ling Xiaoyan heard this, she only felt a little dizzy with a buzzing head, and grabbed the skin oxygen in front of her.
Ling Xiaoyan: "What about my sister?" Where did you get her? I'm telling you, if anything happens to my sister, you're going to go to jail! ”
Pi Oxygen was frightened by the aura of the woman in front of him, and hurriedly lied.
Pi Oxygen: "Ah, she, she's still dancing in it, I'll take you to her"
As he spoke, he made a posture of leading the way, but just when Ju Meow and Ling Xiaoyan were stunned, Pi Yang did a very stupid thing, and ran away! Zhuo Yifan on the side had already guarded against him, and at the moment when he escaped, Zhuo Yifan had one foot in front of his calf, and was tripped like this, Pi Oxygen fell directly to the ground, and then before he could get up, Zhuo Yifan had already ridden directly on his back and suppressed his hands. Ling Xiaoyan on the side was anxious when she saw it, because his run was equivalent to telling everyone that 'Ling Xiaohan had an accident'.
And Jiang Jiahua was riding a motorcycle carrying Ling Xiaohan and Wu Lai on the way to the hotel, it happened that there was a traffic light at the small intersection here, and there was no way to stop and wait for the red light, and less than 5 meters away from him, a small battery car was also waiting for the red light, two people came from the south and the other from the west, at the moment when the signal light changed, Jiang Jiahua's motorcycle had already driven out, and at this time, Ju Meow looked up, and saw a familiar girl's face passing in front of him, Ju Meow was stunned, Suddenly reacted that the girl just now seemed to be Ling Xiaohan, Ju Meow didn't dare to delay and rode directly to chase after it, because it was in the urban area and in the downtown area, whether it was a motorcycle or a battery car, the speed was limited, and soon Ju Meow caught up, when the two cars were parallel, Ju Meow confirmed again, and found that he was not mistaken, the one sitting between the two men on the motorcycle in front of him was Ling Xiaohan, and Ling Xiaohan was already drunk at this time and couldn't open his eyes, Ju Meow instinctively knew that something was wrong.
Ju Meow: "Who are you, why is Ling Xiaohan in your car!" ”
Wu Lai: "Who are you?" ”
As soon as he heard that this person knew Ling Xiaohan, Wu Lai immediately became nervous.
Ju Meow: "I'm her friend"
Wu Lai: "I'm also her friend"
Ju Meow: "Where are you taking her?" ”
Wu Lai: "Who are you, why do you care where we go?"
Ju Meow: "......"
Wu Lai: "It's nothing to do with you, hurry up and go home, let's go for a ride together."
Ju Meow: "But she doesn't seem to be feeling well"
Wu Lai: "She's a little sleepy and wants to take a nap"
Ju Meow: "I suggest you stop the car, I have her family's phone number, you'd better get her family's permission before taking her to play"
Wu Lai: "She is not a child, where she goes to play and who she plays with is her freedom, even her family has no right to interfere"
Ju Meow: "But...... I still don't think it's appropriate for her to be in a comatose state now, so I suggest you call her family by phone."
Wu Lai: "......"
It is absolutely impossible to contact Ling Xiaohan's family, which is equivalent to explaining the process of the crime.
Jiang Jiahua: "Sand sculpture! I'll contact your sister! We're going to take her to open a room, and if you have the ability, stop me! ”
Saying that, he stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the motorcycle was immediately greatly improved, and he flew out with a 'whoosh', Ju Meow saw this and knew that these two people were definitely not good people, so he also rode a battery car to try to catch up, but the other party was speeding up, and he didn't dare to ride too fast even in the downtown area, even in the open suburbs. But seeing that the exhaust of the motorcycle in front of him is not visible, Ju Meow can't care so much, Ling Xiaohan's situation is very dangerous at the moment, even if he has long lost that mind to her, but after all, he is still a friend, and he can't see death without saving, so he also increased the power supply, to say that the power system of Ju Meow's battery car is still good, the car got the owner's acceleration instructions, and the two wheels immediately used 10 points of strength to start catching up, Jiang Jiahua, who had already thrown Ju Meow far away, was proud at this time, I thought I had escaped, so I slowly slowed down a little, but at this moment I saw Ju Meow riding a battery car in the rearview mirror approaching him, Jiang Jiahua was very unconvinced, and hurriedly refueled the motorcycle again, and Ju Meow saw that he was about to catch up with the other party, but the other party suddenly accelerated again, seeing that he was thrown away for a distance, Ju Meow gritted his teeth and drove the power of the battery car to the maximum, this battery car is the first time to feel the owner's blood, so he can't let the owner down, The strong power can still provide a strong operating power for the battery car, and the two wheels immediately rotated quickly, and Jiang Jiahua, who was still driving in front, saw Ju Meow's battery car rushing towards himself like a chicken blood, and became very frightened for a while, Jiang Jiahua was very worried that Ju Meow would hit it directly, so he violently changed lanes on the motorcycle to the side, and as a result, a careless car crashed into a flower bed on the side of the road, and three people flew out directly, and Ju Meow also because he couldn't control the direction of the car, Directly hit the guardrail on the side, and flew out directly, and then I heard a lot of exclamations, and my consciousness gradually blurred, until I was carried into the ambulance, I still felt groggy in my brain, but my heart was unusually calm, and then when I regained consciousness again, I was already in the operating ward, but I don't know if it was the effect of anesthesia, or what the effect, after the temporary existence of consciousness, Ju Pheasant fell asleep again, But I seem to be able to hear the quarrel outside the door, but I always feel that it is unlikely, that door should be soundproof.
Mother Wu: "What's the matter with your children!" Why are you racing with my son? My son has been carried into the emergency room, if he has any longs and two shortcomings, I want your son to pay for his life! ”
Ju Mu: "Things haven't been figured out yet, don't talk nonsense"
Jiang's mother: "Why are we talking nonsense, it's obvious that your son and my son are racing cars, and it was my son who overturned!" ”
The three mothers were arguing outside the door, even though a nurse came to persuade everyone not to argue, this is a hospital, and it needs to be quiet, but the three mothers are arguing about responsibility there. At this moment, Ling Xiaoyan appeared in front of the three mothers.
Ling Xiaoyan: "Wu Lai, Jiang Jiahua, Pi Yang, these three people asked my sister out today, but they put illegal drugs in my sister's drink, causing my sister to fall into a coma and lose the ability to resist, they used a motorcycle to drive my sister to the hotel to do misdeeds, Ju Meow chased them in order to save my sister"
The three mothers were stunned when they heard this, and Ju Mother looked at Ling Xiaoyan in disbelief, because in her impression, Ju Meow has always been a submissive child, and this time she didn't even want her own life for Ling Xiaohan to be so brave? And the other two mothers were also stunned when they heard Ling Xiaoyan's words, if what she said was true, wouldn't their son be in trouble again? It seems that he is looking for a way out for his son's 'future' again.
At this time, Ju Meow, who was still lying in the operating room, felt that his father, mother, Ju Pheasant, Ling Xiaohan and Ling Xiaoyan appeared in front of him one after another, and they were all shouting their names, but their figures were getting farther and farther away from him until they disappeared, and his memory of them gradually blurred, and now the only clear thing in front of him was a desert, and in that desert, there was a small village.
