Hu Ding really didn't expect that the other party would be so polite. He knew that here in the desert, there are no good people at all. Everyone is a bandit. Now that he saw a bandit being so polite to him, he really
It means that he is somewhat unsure of the other party's meaning.
However, Hu Ding can be regarded as a person who has seen the world. He could hear the other party's fear. This is normal. Although they are all plant masters, it is precisely because they are all plant masters that the other party will
Be wary of them, because it is impossible for an ordinary band of thieves to send out such a lineup.
Hu Ding also knows that Zhao Hai has some reputation here in the desert. He just wants to try it today to see if Zhao Hai's reputation works. Even if it doesn't work, they will not be afraid of the other party, even though the other party has more than two hundred people.
, and they only have thirty people, and they are all plant masters, but the plant masters of the Hu family have never been vegetarians. When anyone here in the soul world mentions the plant masters of the Hu family, everyone will say, "They can fight."
This was not just spoken, it was actually typed.
Hu Ding raised his fist at the leader and said: "This friend has invited us. We entered the grassland because we were invited by others. We are doing research on the grassland, so we were invited here. His name is Tian Hecao. I don't know about you, friend."
Can you recognize it?"
"Troll Tian Hecao? So you are from the Blade Soul Kingdom?" As soon as the man heard Hu Ding mention Zhao Hai's name, he immediately asked, and at the same time, there was a trace of respect and fear on his face.
His expression was more of respect than fear.
Hu Ding really didn't expect that Zhao Hai's reputation would actually be effective here in the desert. Judging from the expression on the man's face, he didn't know. He was afraid that the other party would not fight against him. But he still said: "That's right.
It's Hecao. We are all from the Blade Soul Kingdom. It was Hecao who asked us to come over to help him. I heard that he is currently studying drought-resistant plants, so we came here."
When the man heard what Hu Ding said, he showed a look of joy on his face. He laughed and jumped off his horse. He saluted Hu Ding and said: "It turns out that the person invited by the leader of the village is an honored guest.
"Everyone, please quickly follow me to our small village. Although our village is small, it is no problem if I can treat you to a sip of water and a meal of mutton. Please come with me quickly." Follow me.
A gesture of please.
Hu Ding saw that the other party jumped off the horse. They also jumped off the horse quickly. When the man saw Hu Ding and the others' actions, he quickly said: "You don't have to be so polite. You really don't have to be so polite. Please get on the horse quickly, Wolf."
Mao, you have fast legs. Go back to the village quickly and ask someone to prepare the mutton soup." A young thief responded, turned his horse's head, and ran straight to the oasis.
Hu Ding couldn't stand this man's enthusiasm. He immediately said to him: "This friend, I don't know your name yet. If I meet Hecao in the future and he asks, how can I talk to him?"
explain?"
The man laughed loudly and said: "Look at me, I forgot to give my name in this excitement. My name is Lang Dingshan, and our small village is called Langjun Village. Haha, in this desert, the village's
The names are all similar, if we can really let the village master know our names, then my life at Langding Mountain will not be in vain." After saying that, he jumped on the horse again and led Hu Ding and the others towards the oasis.
Hu Ding looked at the man walking forward and said to him: "My friend, I heard what you said. You seem to have great respect for Hecao? Can I know why?"
Lang Dingshan said solemnly: "There are not many people here in the desert who don't respect the village leader. After entering the desert for the second time, the village leader established an old man's village. In his village, he collected people from various tribes.
He gathered the old, weak and some people without fighting ability in his own village to provide them with food and accommodation. This is a great kindness to us people in the desert. Sir, you are not from the desert.
So you don’t know that here in the desert, the old and the weak are often abandoned immediately. Some old people, when they get old and can no longer work, they will bring some dry food with them and then walk into the desert.
Knowing where you will die has almost become a tradition in the desert."
Speaking of this, Lang Dingshan's tone was a little low, but Hu Ding and the others were dumbfounded. They never thought that there was such a tradition in the desert.
Lang Dingshan turned his head and glanced at Hu Ding and the others, smiled bitterly and said: "Does it sound incredible? But this is indeed the tradition here in the desert. The materials here in the desert are too exhausted, and people are not willing to waste a little bit.
Things, in order for the children to survive, the old people willingly carried a little bit of dry food into the desert, and they just wanted to carry the dry food on their backs, just to let themselves go further and for a longer time.
Let his relatives find him as soon as possible. This is the desert, the most ruthless, but also the most affectionate place. This tradition has been passed down for many years. No one likes this tradition, but it has always existed, and this tradition, because
Changes occurred with the appearance of the Tianzhai Master. He established Laorouzhai, and I heard that he is now gathering planters from various tribes to prepare to improve the environment in the desert. All major tribes have sent their best planters.
Sent over to support the village leader."
Hu Ding really didn't expect it to be like this. Zhao Hai's popularity in the desert greatly exceeded his imagination. When Hu Ding was thinking wildly, Lang Dingshan said to Hu Ding: "Sir, haven't you
May I ask for your name?"
Hu Ding smiled slightly and said: "Brother Lang, you are too welcoming. My surname is Hu, Hu Ding."
"The surname is Hu? So you are from the Hu family. I heard that the head of Tianzhai is from the Hu family. Does it seem true? This is really great. I was lucky enough to entertain people from the Hu family.
It would be too shameful to tell anyone about this in the future. By the way, Mr. Hu, I don’t know how you came to us."
When Hu Ding heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I'm ashamed. It's my first time to enter the desert. I was a little unprepared. I brought enough dry food, but I ran out of water yesterday. If I hadn't accidentally entered the desert today,
I'm afraid I won't be able to drink water when I come here, which will make Brother Wolf laugh."
Lang Dingshan laughed loudly and said: "I don't blame Mr. Hu. Here in the desert, water is the most precious. It's normal that you can't find water, but you didn't go the wrong way. You can go directly to Laorou Village from here.
, and it is also the nearest road, but there is a catch on this road, which is that water supply is a bit difficult. If you take another road, you can encounter a water source in about two days. Of course, this is
If someone comes here in the desert outside of wartime, a small oasis like ours will be buried immediately, and there will never be a drop of water left for the enemy."
At this time, everyone has entered this small oasis. This small oasis is really not big. In the oasis, you can see some grasslands with some sheep grazing on them, and more places have been planted with some plants. These plants are wild.
They all know Ding. It is a plant that was introduced to the mainland a long time ago. This plant has a bad taste, but it also has several advantages. First, it is drought-resistant, second, it is edible as a whole, and third, it has a high yield and can be eaten.
It can be said that this is a very common plant, not even just a common plant. It can be said to be a plant with the worst taste when eaten. Now in places like the Blade Soul Kingdom, there are very few people who grow this plant. Even if it is
If this kind of thing is planted, it is mostly used to feed pigs, but here in the desert, this kind of plant is planted in a large area, and it is obvious at a glance that it is for human consumption.
Lang Dingshan said before that the environment in the desert is very difficult and the materials are very poor. Hu Ding and the others have not felt it too directly, but now they feel it, because they are planters after all, and nothing can explain it better than plants.
That's a problem.
However, Lang Dingshan was very polite. He really prepared a sheep and had it cooked. You can smell the smell from a long distance away. If you are not used to it,
I'm afraid I'll frown when I smell this smell.
The people of the Hu family were not very used to this smell, but when they saw the children in the oasis smelling the fragrance and drooling, they couldn't frown at all.
Lang Dingshan invited Hu Ding and others into the big tent. After asking everyone to sit down, he first served everyone a glass of water. For people here in the desert, a glass of water is the best thing to entertain people.
Hu Ding and the others were indeed thirsty, but they were all members of the Hu family, and the Hu family's tutoring was very successful. Although they were so thirsty that their throats smoked, they were still very polite, and when they drank water, they did not hesitate.
Too mouthful.
Lang Dingshan waited for Hu Ding and the others to drink a glass of water before he said, "Mr. Hu, I heard that the village leader is currently researching ways to change the desert environment. Is that true?"
Although Hu Ding didn't know what the other party meant, he still nodded and said: "That's true. We are here this time just to help him. If this research can be successful, it can indeed change the desert."
environment, but this method may not be very successful in a short period of time, and the desert is so big, it is not easy to completely change the environment in the desert."
"Of course, of course. To be honest, we are very grateful that Master Tianzhai has such a heart. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, we are very grateful to him. He is not from the desert, but he has done so much for the desert.
We, the entire desert, will be grateful to him for what he did."
Hu Ding smiled bitterly. Lang Dingshan had said such words more than once. It seemed that he was really grateful to Zhao Hai. Hu Ding never thought that Zhao Hai could do this after entering the desert for such a long time.
To such an extent, this really made him feel very amazing.
Everyone chatted for a while, and the mutton soup was ready. Lang Dingshan immediately asked people to bring the mutton soup, and warmly greeted the Hu family members to drink the mutton soup. Although Hu Ding and the others were not very used to the taste,
However, the hospitality was unstoppable, so they each drank a bowl of mutton soup, followed by the main course, meat on hand. I have to say that the mutton here in the desert tastes really good. Hu Ding and the others all ate very happily, and then
After resting for a day at Langjun Village, Hu Ding and the others set out on the road again.
