At this moment, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Gina, come out and help, don't stay inside." ”

Among the Wu people, both men and women, they are busy. It can be seen from the busy sound outside the tent.

"Got it. Hearing her father's order, Gina stood up, and then said to Zhuge Chen with a smile: "You can recuperate here in peace first, and it's not too late to leave after you recover." ”

Zhuge Chen said softly: "Thank you, Miss Gina." ”

When Gina left the cloth tent, Zhuge Chen looked at the sky outside through the gap in the curtain that was pulled open. Although I am in the desert, the yellow sand is all over the sky. But on the oasis, it's completely different, and it's no wonder that the tribes are trying to take possession of it. This is like a blessed place with a strong aura, which has an infinite attraction for cultivators, after all, being in it can make one's cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. Zhuge Chen, who was lying on the bed, still never gave up the idea of wanting to sit up, but after failing again and again, he had to sigh lightly, empty his mind, and stay here honestly.

He didn't expect that there would be such a danger in the sandstorm, and a sword cultivator like him, whose realm was completely comparable to a bamboo basket to draw water, was also dangerous and dangerous to break out of the sandstorm. It seems that in this desert, there are still many unknown secrets. When his realm goes further, he will definitely unearth it. As the saying goes, curiosity kills a cat, but for cultivators, if they don't take risks, is it possible to wait for the fortune to fall on their heads?

"Are you awake?" At this moment, an old man who had braided his gray hair and beard came to Zhuge Chen's bedside. The person who came looked amiable, sat on the chair, and spoke to Zhuge Chen.

Looking at the other party's appearance, it didn't look like he was embarrassed, Zhuge Chen nodded lightly.

The old man said straight to the point: "I am the patriarch of the Wu tribe, and this oasis is a place where our ancestors have lived for nearly a thousand years. You're not the first foreigner to come here, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't come here to interrogate, but now that it's an eventful time, if I offend you, I hope you will be more responsible, and there is no way to do it. In order to survive, my people and I have done everything with great difficulty. I asked you, and Gina told me that you were lying under the dunes and unconscious when she found you. Did you experience a sandstorm before that?"

"That's true. Zhuge Chen nodded and said.

"It was the biggest sandstorm in thousands of years, and you're lucky to be alive. The patriarch then asked, "Where are you going when you enter the desert?"

Anyway, I have to say it, Zhuge Chen didn't choose to deliberately avoid anything, but said directly: "I am the imperial court worship of Dayan, and this time I entered the desert to escort a team of people to the land outside the law." Because I encountered some things in Jicheng in Dayan, I chose to solve it myself, so I was alone, but I didn't expect to encounter a sandstorm and end up where I am now. ”

He cursed the black-clothed undercover agent in his heart, and then raised his head and said to the patriarch: "If the patriarch doesn't believe it, it's okay, as long as you know that I will never have any covetousness for this oasis." Can you bring me a glass of water? I'm so thirsty, but now I can't move, so I'm lying in bed. ”

When the patriarch heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately handed over a glass of water.

Zhuge Chen drank the cup of sweet water taken from the oasis clear pool, exhaled a breath of turbid air comfortably, and then asked, "Since the patriarch is so cautious, what trouble have you encountered?"

"The Wu tribe is in this oasis, and they don't know how many tribes they are jealous of. For many years, we have been careful to operate, and even many times we will help other tribes without asking for anything in return, but in the end, it is their wolf heart and dog lungs that we have raised!" the patriarch scolded: "Now that the tribe to which Wu is attached is at a critical time of recuperation, there is no way to lend a helping hand to us, so we can only rely on ourselves. The father and daughter of Gina, who brought you back that day, are the people we sent out to inspect. As long as we perceive that someone is trying to do something wrong, we will strike decisively. If you want to hit the oasis, pay attention, is it really that our people are so easy to bully?"

Looking at the patriarch around him, although he was old, but his momentum was more fierce than that of a young man, Zhuge Chen said sincerely: "I really admire you, patriarch, you are already so old, and you must bow down in person." The Wu people are truly fortunate to have you. At least in my opinion, it's better than sitting on an oasis. ”

"You young man, you really can talk. The patriarch couldn't hide his smile, but after a while, he continued: "I don't know what your realm is as a worship of the Dayan Imperial Court?"

Although he didn't have any hope for this young junior, the patriarch still hoped that the other party was a cultivator with an extremely high realm. In this way, the crisis faced by the Wu people can be solved. Although he was not afraid to fight other tribes, it would not hurt even if it lasted for a few years, after all, the oasis was the foundation of their existence, and it was impossible to give up. But those are also living lives, all of them are his people, and it is good to be able to die even one less.

Zhuge Chen was stunned for a moment, and said: "Although I am a court-worshipper, I am also of a very low level. What they value is not my current state, but the future. I'm ...... now It's just an ordinary Jianghu master. It's really very low, if only I could have the realm of drawing water with a bamboo basket, so that I can help the patriarch against foreign enemies. ”

"It's enough to have you. "Although it was the first time we met, the patriarch's impression of Zhuge Chen was really good. To be able to become a court worship, at least there will be pride. But this young man, who seems to be never low in terms of family background or status, is unexpectedly gentle and humble: "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, you have a good life." I'll come back to see you when I have time. ”

Zhuge opened his mouth and said: "Thank you Patriarch, but you have every opportunity, so you don't have to worry about me, otherwise the kid is really scared." ”

It was the first time the patriarch had heard such an interesting statement, laughed, stayed for a while, and turned to leave.

Zhuge Chen stayed in bed until the night, and of course the feeling of not being able to move was uncomfortable. He was thinking in his heart that when he was able to move again, he would have to play a few sets of Stopping Mountain Peak Punches first, and then use the Edgeworth to go to the clouds and unleash all the sword qi in his sleeve, and see all the azure in the sky. Just as he was out of his mind, Gina had already walked in with dinner, of course, it was the woman who fed Zhuge Chen. Both of them are not pretentious, and they talk and laugh, Zhuge Chen feels more and more that Gina is very good, and being able to marry her as a wife must be a blessing from several lifetimes.

It's just that Gina doesn't care about this, after all, having such a look in the desert is not necessarily a good thing. The thought of the son of the patriarch of that great tribe made her a little worried.

Zhuge Chen opened his mouth and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing. Gina replied absentmindedly, although she has been in the desert since birth, but unlike other women, Gina has always longed for the outside world. It's a pity that the patriarch and the elder are very secretive about this, and even if she keeps asking, she can't ask why. But now that she met Zhuge Chen, her already silent mind revived again, she lay on the side of Zhuge Chen's bed, exhaled like an orchid, and asked: "Can you tell me what the world outside is like?" I have been curious about this for a long time, tell me about it." ”

"Naturally, no problem. A fragrant breeze blew in Zhuge Chen's ears, making his calm heart even a little impetuous. This kind of situation has never happened to him, and now Bai Yi doesn't even dare to squint, for fear of colliding with Gina's gaze. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to speak, "Miss Gina...... Can you ...... Go back a bit. In that case, I can't calm down and tell you about things outside the desert!"

Gina covered her mouth and smiled, not retreating, but approaching, almost lying down with Zhuge Chen. She raised her head to look at the angular side face of the white cloth, although she was shy in her heart, she still didn't want to fall behind, so she quipped: "I didn't expect you to be shy?"

Zhuge Chen said helplessly: "I am also a human being, of course I have seven emotions and six desires. ”

Gina wanted to say something more, but Zhuge Chen had already spoken: "The world outside, if I were to summarize it, eight words would be enough. That's bizarre and all-encompassing. Everything you want to see and what you don't want to see will always meet you unexpectedly one day. ”

As he spoke, Bai Yi glanced at Gina, and his eyes were full of smiles: "It's not good, but it's not bad, it's very simple to survive, but if you want to climb to the top and become a human being, it is undoubtedly as difficult as climbing to the sky." But even so, whether it is a mortal or a cultivator, very few people really give up hope. Hundreds of boats compete for the current, and if they don't move forward, they will plummet. I have been to the top of the mountains, and I can pick the sun, moon and stars with my hand. I also went to the former residence of the immortals, only to realize that the so-called people go to tea and cool, but it is just a passing cloud. There are also the banks of the river that flows endlessly, down the river, and the scenery along the way is in my eyes. The people you meet on the road may also be the master of a sect, who writes the picture scroll of the common people with the pen of qi. Even a passing mortal may have a lot of weather in his chest. Miss Gina, this is the world beyond the desert, I hope that one day, you will be able to see it with your own eyes. After all, what I am talking about is what I have seen with my own eyes, but there are countless beautiful scenery hidden only in everyone's eyes and hearts. The desert is vast, but it's too boring. As this is your hometown, but to stop because of this, even I feel sorry for you. ”
