Chapter 115: Invited to Return Together
You don't see the snow on the seaside, and the flat sand is reckless and yellow into the sky.
Before arriving at Dock City, you will pass through a desert and step into the boundless desert, where you can see yellow sand everywhere, desolate, and filled with endless depression and desolation.
However, when Zhu'an and Zhimeng followed the four members of the He family who strongly invited them to their home as guests, when they returned to the village where they lived, they happened to see a golden poplar forest growing in the endless desert on the road, with unique shapes, different postures, ancient and vicissitudes of life, and I don't know how many long years I have survived alone.
And the place they are going is not far from the poplar forest, where the oasis thrives.
The oasis is the place where the people in the northwest rely on to survive, if the desert is a huge curtain, then the oasis is the green gems scattered on the curtain, there is less wind and sand, and the water source is sufficient, which can supply food, which is why there are still people in such a harsh living environment.
However, because of the lack of fertile land in the wasteland, the scarcity of arable land, and the lack of drought and rain, often the land is planted with hard work but the harvest is very small, and only the most basic rations can be guaranteed.
The oases occupied by the sand bandits are often very small, or directly cut off the edge of the large oasis as a settlement, and the living conditions are relatively worse, so they will rob the grain carried by passing caravans, or run far to the edge of the town on the other side of the desert to rob, and sometimes they will bully the people of the northwest who have the same difficult life, and the bad deeds are infamous, in the northwest belt, it is notorious.
Such a difficult environment has forced human nature to become violent.
○
The family of four who was rescued by Weaving Dreams is surnamed He, the little girl's name is Helan, who is only ten years old this year, and the younger brother's name is He Zhou, who has just turned six. The family has lived in the village of the oasis for generations, and is a native of the northwest.
When the four members of the He family thanked them, all the people who were rescued also gathered around them and thanked them in a gossiping manner.
Weaving Dream was frightened by such an atmosphere, and patiently persuaded several times to calm down these people who escaped the disaster and were agitated. After resting for a while, everyone began to return home one after another.
Although he was driven away by sand bandits, abandoned his home, and unfortunately ran into a sandstorm in the desert, he has now escaped and still has to return to the village.
Once you take root somewhere, no matter how bad the environment is, you can't do without it.
The two planned to rest on the spot for a while, and continue to meet in the evening when the heat was gone, but they couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the two children of the He family, and they grinded them for a long time, hoping that Zhu'an and Zhimeng could go back to the village with them for two days before leaving.
Unable to resist their enthusiasm, the two of them followed them to the village.
And weaving dreams also have their own concerns, although they are safe
However, she looked fine, her face was as usual, but she was still worried that she had been injured, and she preferred to rest for two days first, after all, it was really inappropriate to rush with an injury.
Weaving dreams are still entangled, the two children are young but very clever, but after talking a few words together, they are sure that Zhu'an will definitely follow Weaving Dreams.
The two little clever ghosts secretly glanced at each other and assigned the task, He Zhou quickly ran forward and dragged Weaving Dreams' hand, Helan pushed her back behind, and just pushed and shoved and hugged Weaving Dreams.
As soon as Weaving Dream moved, Zhu'an really followed her, and the two children snickered.
Along the way, I listened to the two sisters and brothers chatting and chatting, and the two sisters and brothers talked and laughed, and it seemed that they had regained their spirits, so they listened to their conversation, and soon arrived outside the village.
Before I even stepped into the village, I could already hear the noise of the whole village.
The villagers who returned to the village earlier began to clean up the mess, and you shouted and shouted in a mess, like a sandstorm, making a lot of noise, and those who didn't know thought that the whole village was fighting, and the shouts one after another seemed to be roared out of their throats, and almost the whole village could hear it.
"Hey~ Which family's vegetable basket is rolling in my chicken coop!
"You're dying! These damn brutes have knocked down the door of my house!"
"Old man Wu, don't brag? Your door is already broken! Do you still expect people to fix it for you when they come to grab something?"
"It's all nonsense!"
"I'll you!"
"Come on, come on, come on, what about my dog, won't he be caught as rations, will hey, oh my God......"
"Who saw where my rice bowl went?"
“......”
A few of them walked into the village, looking at the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping in front of them, a little stunned, compared to the sandstorm and surging area of the square, this village seemed to be the place of disaster, the whole village was unrecognizable, inside and outside as if it had been looted by a strong wind, the door of the house was wide open, and the things in the courtyard of the house were discarded indiscriminately, and some were thrown on the road.
Unlike their stunned, the four members of the He family were not surprised, as if they had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and took them to their home.
Along the way, people will immediately stop what they are busy with to greet her when they see Weaving Dreams, Weaving Dreams has a gentle and patient attitude, and replies to everyone seriously.
When there were fewer people, Weaving Dream asked curiously: "Helan, why is the village so noisy?"
Helan scratched her head a little shyly when she heard this, and explained it to the two of them.
It turned out that the sand bandits would come to the village every once in a while to grab things, such as food, water and other supplies.
The reason why Helan felt embarrassed was because the people in the village knew that the sand bandits would come, and there was no shortage of young and strong adult men in the village, but no one could stand up to protect everyone from being bullied. Knowing that the sand bandits would visit the village savagely from time to time and rob them of their things, the whole village had nothing to do with them, like fat sheep to be slaughtered, and compared to the two of them, it was really a little weak
She was ashamed of it.
As he spoke, he had already walked to the small courtyard where the He family lived, and the courtyard was also full of messes, the gate was open, and the furnishings in the house were thrown into a mess, and there was no one to sit on at all.
Seeing this, Aunt He smiled apologetically, and hurriedly cleaned up after saying a word, and the two children were very well-behaved and helped together.
Zhu'an and Weaving Dreams are not twisted, although they are guests, how can they just sit, needless to say, to help together.
Aunt He hurriedly went to pull them and persuaded them: "I can't help it, I can't help it, how can I bother you two distinguished guests to do it yourself, it's really too much to go...... Alas, I am so sorry to invite you to be a guest, but the house is so embarrassed and inconsiderate! It is really rude for you to wait a little longer, and you will soon be able to clean up, and you don't have to bother with your help!"
Uncle He also nodded in agreement, a little restrained and sincerely apologetic.
Zhimeng stretched out his hand to pick up a chair, and said with a smile: "What Aunt He said, we are already very unhappy to be guests empty-handed, if we watch from the wall again, it will be really rude! ”
Zhu An agreed with her words and immediately nodded.
couldn't resist their insistence, Aunt He didn't say anything more, she just felt that she had met two big people, just the appearance and bearing of the two of them, they were already one in a million outstanding, and they also saved everyone without asking for any return, kindness is rare, the more I look at the two, the more I like them, and they get a lot closer.
Helan and Hezhou sisters and brothers especially like to be close to them, and if a pair of children can learn a little from them, no matter what it is, they will feel honored.
Zhu'an rolled up his cuffs competently, helped Uncle He tidy up the yard, and asked him questions that he had always wondered.
"Uncle He, I would like to ask you a question. ”
His attitude is gentle and modest, without a little posture, he is really a likable character, Uncle He quickly nodded, showing a simple and honest smile.
"What are you polite to me! If you ask, I will definitely answer if you know!"
"Thank you, Uncle He. This desert land is under the jurisdiction of Wuzhou City, and the village is not very far from the border army, seeing your attitude, I think that the sand bandits have been causing trouble for a long time, so why don't you ask the border army for help?"
He has always had this doubt since he encountered the bandits, and it is clear that the bandits have not been in rebellion once or twice, so why didn't they report it to the garrison for help? It is their duty to quell the bandits, so why are they still so indifferent and still being oppressed by the bandits?
There must be some reason for that.
