Chapter 7: Desert Town
In a small town on the edge of the desert, there are only three or five families in the town, and they are struggling to survive guarding a well.
Ji Bingyan burned the luxury carriage, sold all the horses cheaply, and bought more than a dozen sheepskin bags of water with more expensive money than buying wine.
And the blind Shi Tuo, who let Ji Bingyan take the initiative to sell his horses cheaply, looked straight towards Li Chaofeng with a granite-like face.
One loves animals, the other loves the flesh of animals, and these two types of people are always at odds with each other.
Shi Tuo could feel that those friends who liked to mess with him were extremely disgusted with the young man in front of him.
The animals also had feelings, and they could feel Li Chaofeng's gaze as he looked at the food.
And after a few days of getting along, Shi Tuo felt that Li Chaofeng's aura was more like a vicious beast than a human, a beast with a stronger perception than his animal friends.
Shi Tuo was very curious in his heart, how did such a beast become a human?
He wanted to ask something, but unfortunately he was dumb.
He wanted to make a comparison, but unfortunately he was blind.
He wanted to hear the man's voice, but unfortunately, he was deaf.
He could only tell the person by his senses.
Li Chaofeng sensed Shi Tuo's faint vigilance, but he didn't care.
He doesn't like to have an emotional relationship with animals, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like people who like animals.
He was originally a person who liked small animals, and he used to be a cat slave, so now he can cook horse meat feasts, but he will definitely not do any "dragon and tiger fight".
Hey, it's a double standard!
The reason why he has set so many rules for himself now is just because the Five Insect Knife in his hand needs the blood of the Five Insects to warm and grow.
The other four insects are fine, but the blood of the insects comes from humans.
It was hard for him to accept that he was going to bleed countless people, just to warm up a knife that might bring him home.
So he divided all the creatures of this world into categories, men and animals.
He never kills.
But he kills the beasts, and the beasts are divided into those who can eat and those who cannot eat.
Animals that despise human life are naturally animals, but they can't eat them.
Even in order to go home, Li Chaofeng didn't want to turn himself into a beast who could do whatever he wanted.
At this time, Li Chaofeng spread his hands and sensed the humidity in the air with the superhuman five senses given by the Five Insect Knife.
There was already the shape of a desert in front of him, but it was also damp, but these meager water vapors were insignificant in the face of the endless sea of sand.
Just when Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua were wondering why they wanted to sell horses cheaply instead of giving them away for nothing, Li Chaofeng turned his head to look in the direction of the town.
There was a little boy of seven or eight years old, staring at him with a hesitant expression.
Even if it is only three or five families, there are children, but they are very thin and look malnourished.
This kind of town is rarely passed by, after all, there are few resources, except for a well that is worth stopping, other things that even passing sand thieves don't want to rob.
After robbing something, the sand thieves didn't want to stay in this place where there was only one well to live a hard life, and the well in this place still needed someone to take care of it.
Ji Bingyan has been counting camels, and Li Chaofeng naturally doesn't care about this kind of thing, he is a tool man, and at the same time, he is also a young man who has not become a hero.
So from the moment he got off the carriage, he faced the desert and enjoyed the desert scenery.
The little boy's expression indicated that he had something to say, but in the face of strangers, he did not dare to talk nonsense.
In a place with scarce resources, no matter who wants to survive, the first thing to learn is to be vigilant.
Li Chaofeng beckoned to the little boy, which startled the little boy and hurriedly hid in the house, but soon he came out again, pursed his lips, and moved towards Li Chaofeng step by step.
When the little boy approached him, Li Chaofeng also had a soft face and asked in a gentle tone.
"What do you want to say?"
Li Chaofeng's expression made the little boy relax his vigilance a little, but he still lowered his head unconfidently and said hesitantly.
"Grandma said don't look at the sand, your eyes will be blind."
Li Chaofeng is an outsider, and outsiders always know more than people from small towns like them, so after the little boy finished speaking, he peeked at Li Chaofeng's expression.
It's not that I want to be praised, but I'm afraid that the other party will laugh at me for being an ignorant person.
It is true that you will be blind after looking at the desert for a long time, because the desert, like snow, will reflect the sun, so the little boy's reminder is right.
Li Chaofeng also smiled and praised when he saw the little boy's unconfident expression.
"Indeed, if you look at the desert for a long time, people will be blind, and you reminded you in time."
"Really!"
The little boy jumped for joy, because he said one thing right, and for the child, he was already happy to say something that others thought was right.
The happy little boy also talked more, and he also asked questions.
"Is it true that Grandma said that there is a desert god in the desert?"
"This..."
Li Chaofeng hesitated, turned his head to look at the desert, and finally sighed and replied with a serious expression.
"It's fake, there should be no gods in this world."
"Ahh
As if he felt that he had said the wrong thing, the little boy's momentum weakened again, his eyes looked at the ground, and he refuted Li Chaofeng in an inaudible voice.
"But Grandma said that it was we who made the god of the desert angry, so we took back the pasture and left us without enough to eat."
Li Chaofeng was stunned, indeed, the desertification in the Hetao area of the Ming Dynasty was very serious, and their current town was also a grassland in the past.
The humidity in the air told Li Chaofeng that here... It shouldn't be a desert.
Li Chaofeng was silent, and the little boy also looked up at the tallest man here, although he felt that he was right, he didn't know whether he should continue to speak.
Suddenly, a person rushed out behind Li Chaofeng, but it was Hu Tiehua who saw Li Chaofeng chatting with a child, and came over to see if there was anything wrong.
Seeing that the little boy seemed to be frightened, Hu Tiehua also opened his mouth and scolded.
"You kid, we're busy dying, but you're here to scare the kids."
Li Chaofeng is very tall, but very clean, Hu Tiehua is not as tall as Li Chaofeng, but he is not much shorter, plus he is dressed in black.
So it was Hu Tiehua who scared people, not Li Chaofeng.
When the little boy saw Hu Tiehua appear, he pulled his legs and ran towards the town.
However, before he had run two steps, the voice of the clean alien was heard in his ears.
"Do you want to defeat the god of the desert?"
“!!!”
Hu Tiehua stared at Li Chaofeng in surprise, and the little boy also turned his head to look at Li Chaofeng, his face full of horror.
The god of the desert has never been defeated, and only when it is kind will it let you go.
"Boy, I just said casually that you can't tolerate sand in your eyes, and you don't have to remember it until now."
Li Chaofeng ignored Hu Tiehua, he just looked at the little boy, waiting for his answer.
There is a lot of water vapor in the air in this place, so the desert here can be managed, as long as a way to fix the sand can be found.
And Li Chaofeng did remember such a method.
Dragon Rubik's Cube, Grass Grid.
A region that doesn't require much technology, but can get enough rainfall, and can manage the desert by manpower.
But it requires perseverance, perseverance, and perseverance.
Li Chaofeng doesn't have this kind of perseverance...
Even if he had, he wouldn't spend his time on such things.
Li Chaofeng's eyes were firm, and the little boy instinctively felt frightened just by looking at each other's eyes, but he didn't understand what Li Chaofeng meant.
Can the god of the desert be defeated?
"Wow~"
In the end, the little boy couldn't stand Li Chaofeng's expectant eyes, and ran into the house in the distance crying.
Because he didn't know what he was hearing, he just felt that it was a very big and terrible thing.
Seeing the little boy crying and running away, Hu Tiehua's heart tightened, and he scolded Li Chaofeng.
"You kid, it's fun to scare people!"
Li Chaofeng was a little disappointed, after all, he rarely had the idea of changing the world.
Turning his head to look at Hu Tiehua, he blinked, and Li Chaofeng smiled.
"Hu Tiehua, I still like you who have taken a bath, because... It doesn't smell bad. ”
