Chapter 111 Oasis
Time is passing imperceptibly.

The man has been homeless for more than 70 days.

After walking through the terrifying sandstorm and reaching the oasis, the reborn man began to calmly examine his situation, and he understood that he had completely lost his way.

He can't go on like a headless chicken.

And he soon realized that he should follow the trail of the oasis, or follow the stream, so that he would always come to a populated place and locate himself.

Having said that, it is not easy to determine the direction of the oasis and ensure that you do not deviate from the direction on the way, as well as sandstorms from time to time, desert jackals, scorpions and other poisonous beasts.

As before, many trials and tribulations stood in his way.

If these sufferings happened to ordinary people, it might have already destroyed that person's mind.

But the man is different, he has been reborn.

These days, men can only move forward step by step, and sometimes even find their way purely by intuition and luck.

Turning over a low mound, the man dragged his feet with little strength. The fracture of his lower leg was the most serious bruise two months ago. The man could only apply the cold sand at night to it, struggling Grit your teeth and insist.

The bruise lasted for more than a month, and it was as big as a fist in the worst case. It was horrifying. Every step the man took was excruciatingly painful. He had to slow down and even stay where he was, but the strong vitality finally subdued it. Slowly healed on its own.

Although there is still some limping and tingling pain, it can support him to maintain normal walking.

Maybe the calf will get better completely, or maybe this tingling pain will accompany him for the rest of his life, the man doesn't care about it.

In the past 70 days, the man encountered sandstorms several times, all of which were violent winds and sand and gravel all over the sky. Fate always hindered him and prevented him from returning to the city-state of Alanbiin.

The man struggled with the ill-fated fate.

One footprint after another was guessed on the sand, the man's shoes were worn out, he is now barefoot, and the clothes on his body are also worn out, covered with a layer of sand and dust.

A month ago, the man took a picture of himself facing the lake in an oasis, and saw his current appearance. His unkempt hair was long and curly, stuck to the sand and knotted together, his beard was long, his face was vicissitudes, yellow and black, yellow and black. Yes, as if he aged several decades.

He had thought that his face would be devastated, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent, which was beyond the man's expectation.

Through the soles of the feet, the man felt that the sand under his feet was softer than before, instead of the scattered touch of rustling. He was excited, and he found an oasis again.

"I don't know what's going on with Alan Biyin." Then the man became worried for a while. He was afraid that when he walked out of the desert, he would learn the news that the entire city-state of Alan Biyin had fallen.

"Lord, bless them, bless these people who are finally free." The man folded his palms together and prayed.

The man quickened his pace, climbed up the sand dunes, and slid down from the sand dunes, and he just crossed one sand dune after another.

Finally, he saw a huge and smooth sand dune in the distance, as round as a full moon. Under the sand dune, an oasis full of aloe, cactus, camel thorn, apocynum, licorice and other plants appeared in front of him.

The man couldn't help expressing emotion, wandering in the desert for so many days, it was the first time he saw such a beautiful oasis, a few birds could be seen passing by in the sky, and wild camels in twos and threes were drinking the meandering river, where there were stretches of grassland, the breeze Everything is quiet and peaceful.

Immediately afterwards, the man's eyes lit up.

He saw several houses built in the oasis, even though they were very small, they were connected together and looked like they were made of sand.

Seeing someone for the first time, the man hurriedly slid down the sand dune and walked into the oasis. The bird with white feathers that was parked on the palm tree branches was startled by him, flapping its wings and plundering into the distance.

The houses were built along the river, nearer downstream, and the men passed along the river.

Not long after, the man approached the houses and saw a man with a gray beard skinning and washing animals in the river.

The man approached there, cleared his throat, suppressed his excitement and said, "Sorry to bother you, I've been lost in the desert for a long time, where is this place? Who are you?"

The man with the gray beard looked up at this moment and saw him too.

"...I'm Bijan, this is our village, are you?" The man named Hiei was surprised at how desolate the man was.

"I am." The man hesitated for a while, and said, "I am from Alan Biyin, and I don't have a name."

"Alan must have come here a few months ago," Hiei muttered, got up quickly, glanced up and down the man and said: "But I can see that you have been wandering for a long time, you also fled to the desert just like us slave?"

The man froze for a moment, then immediately said, "Yes."

From Hiei's words, the man heard that the people in this village seemed to be slaves who had escaped into the desert.

The man walked over, and Hiei asked him to sit on the stone by the river to rest, while Hiei went into the house, and brought out a piece of bread and a bowl of water when he came out.

After the man took it with thanks, he asked, "You said, one came just a few months ago?"

"Ah, you asked this, one did come here." Hiei patted his forehead, "He came here on a horse, as if he was insane and unconscious. He died."

"Dead? What's his name?" the man asked.

"John," Hiei realized something, became vigilant, and asked, "Is that your companion?"

"...It can't be counted, he left me in the desert, what happened?" the man asked after a brief description.

"He came here a few months ago. I remember it was during the day. We rescued him, but instead he took the village head's daughter and threatened us with a sword, demanding that we hand over the family's money bag."

"and then?"

"Then there was a brave guy who sneaked up from behind and knocked him down with a stick, killing him." Hiei said nonchalantly.

The man sighed a little, but this was what John deserved.

Soak soft bread in water, after a few days,
"Are all the people here escaped slaves?" The man continued to ask.

"Yes, basically. We fled to the desert, and then came here by mistake. After that, other slaves couldn't help but escaped here unknowingly, and settled down." Hiei Said, then he remembered something, said: "By the way, we heard Alan Biyin's name a few years ago."

"and then?"

"It's very strange. We all think it's very strange. Maybe it's not appropriate to say that your hometown is like this, but it seems to have appeared suddenly. After that, we rarely see slaves passing by."

"Oh. There are no slaves there," said the man.

"No slaves?!" Hiei was surprised, "Who will support the nobles?"

"No nobles either," the man added.

After hearing this, Hiei suddenly realized, "That should be the same as here."

The man is noncommittal.

Then, he saw Hiei scratching his head and looking at himself.

Hiei asked: "Do you want to stay here? Our village has always been short of young people. This is a rare big oasis. No nobles have discovered it. We can even fish from the underground river."

Not far away, the man saw wheat fields one after another, camels with plowshares, chewing weeds on the ground, several old people sitting under palm trees, children playing with the tall camels, exclaiming from time to time, the white feathers Flocks of birds passed by here, and it was peaceful and peaceful.

The man shook his head.

"No, the road I've traveled is too long, I've been wandering for too long, it's time to go back."
