King Lido was silent for a long time before he said, "I regard Siala as my own, and I love her more than my own children, and I did not expect her to do this to me in the end, and I have no hope now of anything but that she will show mercy to her nominal brothers and sisters when she returns home." ”

"I'm not interested in knowing about the feud between you and Sila, and I came out to you in the hope that someone could keep this oasis. Tianhuo said lightly that he was really not interested in this kind of palace grudge.

"You really don't want to kill us?" King Lido clearly still didn't believe Skyfire's words.

"Yes, but I don't plan to get you out of here. Tianhuo replied calmly.

King Lido breathed a sigh of relief, then panicked, "Are you trying to trap us in this oasis?"

"This is a way of life for you, if you don't want to stay on the oasis, I don't mind killing you before leaving, anyway, if you don't listen to me, you won't be able to live long on this oasis. ”

The king of Lido wanted to argue with Tianhuo about something, but Pa New hurriedly grabbed the king's robe to stop him from speaking, and then said with his most pious and humble expression and voice:

"Dear sir, we are willing to stay in this oasis, but this place is completely ruined, and we have no way to survive, please show us a way to live, merciful. ”

The King of Lido is not completely ignorant of the world, but he likes to scold and teach others for a long time, and when it comes to life and death, he still understands the importance of bowing his head, and his unspeakable words are handed over to his faithful servant Pa Xin.

Tianhuo was quite satisfied with their performance, and said to PNG: "Don't worry, you can ask this woman first, what is her situation?"

PNG hurriedly spoke to the middle-aged woman in desert language, but the middle-aged woman was obviously still trapped in her inner pain and could not extricate herself, and did not respond to PNG's words.

Pa Xin raised his voice and asked a few more questions, but the woman still had a dying expression, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Although PNG was only a eunuch of the Lido royal family, he was also a person of status in the country, and this untouchable in the desert oasis dared to be rude to him, so he jumped up and pounced, ready to teach her a lesson.

Tianhuo snorted coldly, and it reached Pa Xing's ears like a thunderclap, which immediately interrupted his movements, and he hurriedly stopped his movements and said: "Dear sir, this untouchable person ignores my questioning, it is clear that he does not respect you enough, I just want to teach her a lesson." ”

Tianhuo walked over and took the woman from Pa Xin's hand and said, "She is just frightened and a little demented, you have to do this to her, it seems that you usually do a lot of oppressive and good things in the country." ”

Pa Xin was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "Dear sir, don't get me wrong, I'm just a subordinate in the palace and I'm not qualified to bully people, plus there are many palace rules, so I don't have the opportunity to go outside to hurt goodness." ”

Tianhuo glanced at him coldly and said, "There is an old saying in the Song Kingdom that poor people must have something to hate, and I am honest and don't deceive me." ”

PNG didn't seem to understand it, but he roughly understood the meaning of Tianhuo, and hurriedly silenced himself and stopped defending.

Tianhuo rubbed several acupuncture points on the woman's head and neck, and then patted her on the back, and the woman coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of thick black phlegm mixed with blood.

It was because she was angry and inhaled a large amount of burning ashes, and her mind was sealed by thick phlegm, and now after this thick phlegm was spit out, she seemed to have eased up, and her eyes were not as dull as just now.

Tianhuo put down the woman and said to PNG: "Now ask again, have a better attitude, she will be the king and your nobleman in this oasis in the future." ”

Pa Xin sighed secretly: "The Chinese language is really obscure, although I know what he is talking about, I don't understand what he means by saying these words." ”

PNG asked about the woman again, and the woman cried to PNG with a sad expression, she didn't know who PNG was, she needed to vent her grief now, as long as the person opposite was not a samurai in military uniform, she would not be afraid.

Soon PNG made the matter clear, the middle-aged woman was just an ordinary woman in the oasis, her son was one of the ordinary soldiers in the oasis, when the disaster came, she happened to go to the den to get something and escaped, and now all the people she knew were dead or missing, and she was the only one left.

This is the same as Tianhuo's conjecture, there is no more valuable information, Tianhuo decided to leave here: "The king, PNG, and this woman, I have given you a job, you must complete it, otherwise you will have to die on the oasis." ”

The trio silently agreed, and now they had no other choice.

"The large livestock and camel beasts here have been plundered by the soldiers of the Lido Kingdom, and it is impossible for me to take the three of you on foot through the desert to another oasis, you will have to stay here if you want to survive. ”

The Lido king's eyes widened angrily: "The grain here has been looted, the water has been polluted, the houses have been burned, and if you leave us behind, we will also be dead." ”

Tianhuo glanced at King Lido contemptuously and said, "It is true that the resources here are not enough to support a king, but it is still more than enough to feed three commoners, as long as you exert the spirit of hard work, you will definitely be able to transform this place into a paradise." ”

PNG humbly asked: "Dear sir, I still don't understand what you mean, please show us a way out, we really don't know how to survive in such a harsh environment." ”

"If you two want to live, try to be kind to this woman next to you, and she will teach you how to survive in a desert oasis, or you will all die together. ”

PNG asked the woman with some uncertainty, and the woman wiped away her tears and said something that restored some confidence to the king and PNG.

"I don't know what you said, but I think this woman should tell you that she has a way to survive here, right?"

PNG bowed convincingly: "Dear Mr. Dongfang, she said that this oasis can feed thousands of people, but now that the water source is polluted, she is not sure that she will survive." ”

Tianhuo nodded and said, "I can tell you the solution, but you have to work hard, otherwise no one will be able to save you." ”

Tianhuo led the three of them towards the small lake, and when he passed by a date palm grove, he said, "This is the date palm tree, also known as the desert bread tree, and it will be your main ration from now on." ”

King Lido protested: "I have always eaten wheat or oat bread, and I can't eat dates." ”

"Whatever, if you don't eat, you can starve to death. ”

Tianhuo continued on his way, and soon came to a ruined yard where there were six sheep, a ram, two ewes, and four lambs.

"Here are six sheep, which were probably missed by the soldiers during the raids, and you can continue to raise sheep, and the ewes can provide you with milk, and when the flock is numerous, they can also provide you with meat.

If you don't want to raise sheep after I'm gone, you can kill them and eat meat directly, but six sheep will be enough for you to eat for a month at most, and then you will have no source of meat. ”

The king of Lido became restless and yelled, "I am the king, and my family has been glorious for nearly six hundred years, do you want to make me a shepherd?"

Tianhuo smiled: "It doesn't matter, after I leave, you will do whatever you like, but now you have to listen to me." ”

Ba Xin listened very carefully, as a eunuch, he paid more attention to his life and death, but he would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of life, and he had to write down everything that Tianhuo confessed.

The middle-aged woman had a little more life in her eyes when she saw the date palm trees, and she had already recovered most of her life when she saw six more sheep.

The nomads in the desert have hope of life as long as they have date palms and flocks, and Tianhuo uses this method to motivate her, so that she does not blindly seek death.

The middle-aged woman took the initiative to ask PNG what the young nobleman had said.

PNG needs a companion to work hard with him at this time, and the king of Lido has always been pampered and unreliable, so this middle-aged woman is PNG's best survival partner, and PNG immediately translated every word of Tianhuo to her clearly.

Tianhuo's words were very practical, and at once he captured the heart of the middle-aged woman, and when she heard that the king would kill these sheep for meat, she immediately jumped into the courtyard and picked up one of the lambs, and held it tightly in her arms, for fear that the king would hurt it.

Tianhuo glanced at the king and said, "You are also worthy of being called a king, you are not as good as a herdsman who knows the truth of survival, you deserve to be overthrown by the princess, and continuing to rule the kingdom with your intelligence will only bring misfortune to the people." ”

King Lido blushed, he didn't expect Tianhuo to reprimand himself so facelessly, it was very different from the kind and pleasant attitude just now, he looked at PNG angrily, at this time he needed loyal servants to stand up to defend his king's dignity and authority.

But PNG pretended not to see the king's gloomy face, he was comforting and reassuring the woman, and he realized that for the three of them to survive in the oasis, the woman who knew the skills of life was the key, and His Majesty the king could only cause trouble for everyone.

Tianhuo said, "Keep walking, the problem of eating is solved." There are still a few houses here that have not burned down, and it is not a problem to live in them, and then there is the problem of drinking water. ”

PNG hurriedly pulled the woman and went with Tianhuo, and the king of Lido could only follow everyone.

Everyone came to the small lake in the middle of the oasis, and at this time the area soaked in blood was larger, and half of the water of the small lake had begun to turn black and mixed, and a large number of mosquitoes had gathered, and the black pressure was flying up and down on the dead bodies.

The faces of the three PNG people are very ugly, and if this continues, the lake will soon be completely polluted, and the water here will be undrinkable.

Pa New Guinea suddenly knelt down and kissed the upper of Tianhuo's shoes and said: "Dear sir, please show us how to get clean drinking water, the lake here is polluted, we will die of illness here, please have mercy on us." ”

Tianhuo led them to the side of the lake where there were no corpses floating and said, "If it were me, I would dig a large puddle next to it, sprinkle the bottom of the pit with charcoal after burning, and then dig a shallow aqueduct to connect the lake, and filter it with thick gauze at the entrance of the outlet on both sides of the canal."

When the water in the puddle is full, close the aqueduct and boil the water from the puddle before drinking, so that you don't get sick.

However, the corpses in the lake must be recovered and disposed of as soon as possible and buried on the periphery of the oasis or under trees, so as to prevent the corpses from polluting the environment.

As for when the water in the lake will be available, it depends on how quickly you dispose of the corpses and how quickly the lake water is automatically purified. ”
