Chapter 13 Oasis

Yang Yu has been walking with Sun Shoude for two days. In the past two days, the wound on Yang Yu's foot has been scabbed, but he still can't walk on the ground. He still needs to be carried on his back, but the speed of the team has not slowed down much. On the first day, when the sun was setting again, Sun Shoude suddenly pointed to a place and said, "When we arrive, there is the oasis where we live."

Following the direction pointed by Sun Shoude, Yang Yu's eyes crossed the same sand dunes. After seeing some crowns emerging above the sand dunes, Yang Yu finally saw a touch of green after crossing for three days.

When he saw the green representing vitality, Yang Yu's spirit was also revived, and the fatigue and thirst of the past three days seemed to dissipate.

Sun Shoude said, "Xiao Ba, go and inform everyone, just say that there are distinguished guests coming and let everyone prepare."

Xiaoba's name is Qin Shouyi. He is only 14 years old this year and is still a half-year-old child. When he is not idle all the way, he likes to pester Yang Yu to ask this and that. After two days, he has been very familiar with Yang Yu. At this time, after hearing Sun Shoude's instructions, Qin Shouyi ran to Yang Yu and said, "Brother Yang , I'll go back first. It's agreed that you will sleep with me tonight. I'll go first.

After hurriedly talking to Yang Yu, Qin Shouyi spread his legs and ran back. Because it was not far from the oasis, before Yang Yu and the others arrived at the oasis, Qin Shouyi led people to meet him first.

Under the leadership of Qin Shouyi, more than a dozen people quickly walked to Yang Yu. The first old man with white hair walked to Yang Yu, arched his hand and said in a low voice, "The distinguished guests have come from afar. We have never welcomed them far away. We are really ashamed to neglect the distinguished guests, and please don't be surprised."

The talking old man is the gentleman who named Sun Shoude and taught them to read. His surname is Bai Zhengxing. He is in his fifties this year and is already the oldest person in the whole village, and the whole village listens to Mr. Bai's arrangement. These Sun Shoude has already told Yang Yu on the road, so Yang Yu could recognize it as soon as he saw it. At this time, although Yang Yu was still unable to walk, there was no problem with him going to go to the ground. After hurriedly getting off his back, he bowed deeply to the old man and said, "Yang Yu, the younger generation has met Mr. Bai. It is uneasy to be taken care of by you, and how dare you to work hard, Mr. Bai Sir, you are really a junior."

Bai Zhengxing nodded, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said, "This is not the place to talk. Please come with me. Let's go into the village to talk."

Yang Yu nodded. After bowing slightly to Bai Zhengxing, he was about to walk to the oasis. At this time, Bai Zhengxing reached out to stop Yang Yu and said, "Shouyi told me that the noble guest is not good at walking, and it's better to be carried by someone on his back. He can't hurt his feet again."

Although Yang Yu was embarrassed, it was inconvenient to go against everyone's kindness. After suing, he still went into the village behind his back.

After walking not far, after turning a few sand dunes, a small oasis appeared in front of Yang Yu. The whole oasis can be seen through at a glance. There are only nine trees around a small pond on the basketball court. The trunks of those trees are smooth, only with narrow feather-shaped leaves on the top of the tree, which is very It's like a coconut tree, but the tree is full of green fruit. Sun Shoude and others call this kind of tree a date tree, and these nine dates are the biggest guarantee for their survival, and the place where Sun Shoude lives is dozens of small mud houses built around the pond that are not as high as Yang Yu.

After walking to the edge of the pond, Bai Zhengxing arched his hand slightly to Yang Yu and said, "It has been 34 years since we moved here. Brother Yang is still the first guest in our village. We welcome Brother Yang on behalf of 76 people in the village. Our village is called the robbery of Yu Village. It is a place where you struggle to survive. It is inevitable. I hope Brother Yang won't dislike it. If there is any need, just open your mouth.

Yang Yu knew that all the men had come out to welcome his arrival, and all the women stayed in those small mud houses. The reason why no woman came out was that they had no clothes to wear and could only stay in the house.

Yang Yu thanked him repeatedly and finally said, "Mr. Bai, Yang Yu can live. He relies on the thirteenth brother to help him and rely on everyone in the village to accept me. If you are so polite to me again, the younger generation will be ashamed."

Bai Zhengxing nodded slightly, smiled at Yang Yu, and said to Qin Shouyi, "Go and get some dates." After ordering Qin Shouyi to get something, Bai Zhengxing smiled at Yang Yu and said, "We have nothing here, but we don't have any other places to treat guests. Only this jujube can be used to invite Brother Yang to have a rare taste."

At this time, Sun Shoude stood up from Yang Yu's back, looked nervous and said, "Sir, we still have 18 dough cakes. These are all given to us by Brother Yang. I, I have received it..."

Sun Shoude was afraid that Bai Zhengxing would be furious, but Bai Zhengxing just stayed for a while, but he didn't say anything. In his opinion, it was normal for guests to come to give gifts. Sun Shoude received it, and there was nothing wrong with it, but it was a fact that there was no return. In Bai Zhengxing's view, it was too rude, but How embarrassing, Bai Zhengxing can't say that we can't return the gift, so don't give us gifts, so Bai Zhengxing just sighed for a long time and thanked Yang Yu's generous gift, and then stopped talking about it.

Fortunately, Qin Shouyi quickly took the dates and solved Bai Zhengxing's unspeakable embarrasment. Naturally, there were no tables and chairs in the village. After Bai Zhengxing greeted Yang Yu to sit on the ground by the pond, he put a large handful of dates with animal skin in front of Yang Yu, brought a dough cake, and then served it. After putting some water in front of Yang Yu, it was regarded as entertaining Yang Yu's dinner.

The dates are very sweet. Yang Yu felt that they were much more delicious than the hard stone-like dough cakes. However, although Yang Yu was very hungry, he felt awkward to eat them under the onlookers of a group of people, and he knew that for Sun Shoude and others, the dates were really food to save lives. The big handful of dates brought to him may be enough for the whole village to eat food for a few days, so it is always difficult for Yang Yu to eat a lot. However, after finding that Bai Zhengxing and others saw the sweetness of his food, Yang Yu knew that these people were not afraid of eating too much, but they were afraid of even dates. Yang Yu sighed secretly in his heart, but while talking to Bai Zhengxing and others, he ate the dates half full.
