: The person who comes

When the group finally arrived at the legendary Oasis Valley, unlike the ecstasy of others, Xie Chen was only surprised. Does this legendary treasure land really exist?

However, for those who have been in exile for so long, the most important thing is to settle down.

It was another month of sacrifice when everyone rebuilt the prototype of the village in the Oasis Valley.

Unlike the hasty sacrifices on the road before, this sacrifice seemed much more formal and grand.

Apart from the same sacrificial text as before, before the end of the sacrifice, everyone spontaneously prayed to the four spirits, thanking the gods for giving this place to rest.

Xie Chen still did not agree to Wang Gu's invitation, but just stood outside the crowd and watched.

In this way, in this oasis valley, people cultivated fishing and hunting, and everything seemed to be prosperous. Even Xie Chen could divide a wooden house built in a hurry and become a doctor in the village.

But as time went by, several months passed, the attitudes of the people who settled down towards Xie Chen seemed to have changed unknowingly.

Although no one exorcised or hostile to Xie Chen on the surface, in fact, everyone's attitude towards him gradually began to alienate.

From Xie Chen's perspective, of course he didn't care about this change. After all, with his current identity, it would be enough to have a place to live in seclusion. As for the gradual alienation of others, there was even a kind of leisure to enjoy it.

But most of the time, things are not so easy to make people happy.

On this day, Wang Gu came to visit again.

"Doctor Chen." Wang Gu said with a kind look, "Have you lived these days smoothly?"

Xie Chen looked at the old man in front of him and thought for a moment: "Life is still smooth. After all, people like me who are as anxious as a dog who travels far away to the world to take refuge is a luxury to have such an inch of land, but something has really confused me recently."

Wang Gu showed a curious expression when he heard this and said enthusiastically: "I don't know what's going on?"

Xie Chen said: "I don't know if I have done anything wrong and offended you. In recent days, I just feel that everyone seems to be a little alienated to me."

Wang Gu said seriously when he heard this: "But are the villagers who excluded and bullied me?"

Xie Chen shook his head: "Most of everyone is simple, so naturally it won't be like this. It's just that I'm always a little cold in daily communication, but I don't know why."

Wang Gu seemed to sigh at the slightest sigh of relief when he heard this: "So that's the case. I'm afraid I have no good plans for this matter, so I hope he can forgive me."

Xie Chenqi said: "I don't know where I did something wrong to mess with everyone?"

Wang Gu shook his head and said, "It's not that I did something wrong, it's just that I and my tribe members have lived in the desert for generations and are rare outsiders. Thanks to the fact that everyone shared the joys and sorrows on the road before, otherwise it would be even more obvious."

Xie Chen was still puzzled: "Outsiders? So what about outsiders?"

Wang Gu continued: "My clan has believed in the four spirits since he was born, and everything is guided by the four spirits. Now you live in the village but do not worship the four spirits. After a long time, everyone is always a little unhappy. It is just that they think of the friendship along the way and the kindness of giving medicine to save people in their daily lives will be like this."

Xie Chen pondered for a moment and said, "If this is the case, I am afraid that more things will happen over time."

Wang Gu just sighed, "It's also my negligence. Dr. Chen is from the Central Plains, so he is naturally different from our beliefs in the Western Regions desert. I will explain to my tribe members when I go back this time, so you can stay there with confidence."

After saying that, Wang Gu got up and left.

The next day, as soon as Xie Chen got up, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. When he opened it, he saw that many people from the village had been outside.

Everyone came up to apologize with some dry food gifts, only saying that it was because of the stingy and narrow-mindedness that Dr. Chen was unhappy to apologize.

Xie Chen even said that he didn't dare to accept the gift, but just asked everyone to go back.

In this way, things seemed to have passed. The people in the village no longer felt cold because Xie Chen did not believe that the Four Spirits were cold. Instead, they were very enthusiastic in life. Because Xie Chen was often treated and treated everyone from time to time, they were quite respected, and people often gave some prey and food.

The sacrifices of the Four Spirits in the village became more and more regular. Even if Xie Chen did not believe in it, he was happy to watch every time the sacrifice was just a festival event.

"Someone is coming outside!"

On this day, the hunters in the village had just run back to report the news in panic. For a moment, everyone in the village was in a mess. The woman pulled the child into the room, while the men grabbed the draft forks and hoes and so on.

"Doctor Chen is about to hide. Someone is coming outside, I'm afraid it's the group of horse thieves chasing him!" Naturally, someone came to inform Xie Chen.

Xie Chen said, "If this is the case, I can't hide. Since I live here, I will naturally have to be with everyone."

As he said that, he went to the village gate regardless of the obstruction of the villagers who came to inform him.

I saw a group of about ten famous riders with vehicles and horses showing off their bodies from the yellow sand of the desert, and the people in the village breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turned out to be a false alarm." Wang Gu smiled, "I just don't know how this caravan appeared here."

After a conversation, Wang Gucai found out from the caravan that they were merchants from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. They met robbers on the road. Although they fought back after a lot of fighting, they lost their direction in the desert and arrived here in a daze.

The person sent by the caravan said, "I hope my father-in-law can make it easier and let me take a break from your place to buy some dry food and drink water."

Seeing that there were many people in the caravan, Wang Gu hesitated and said, "I just don't know that group of horse thieves..."

The caravan said, "Is the father-in-law worried that the gang of horse thieves will chase him?"

Wang Gu nodded without saying a word.

The caravan said, "Don't worry, the horse thief has been repelled by the caravan. The yellow sand is everywhere along the way, and even if there are still accomplices, they will never be able to find them."

Wang Gu then relaxed a little, "We have few people in our village and communicate with outsiders, so there are no inns and other places for you to rest. We can only ask you to camp and rest in the open space near the village."

The caravan also saw clearly, and after agreeing, he asked about food and water purification.

Wang Gu only said that the Oasis River water could be taken by itself, and as for dry food, they could only talk to the villagers on their own.

"Then I'll thank you for taking it in." The caravan members wanted Wang Gu to thank him. When they were leaving, someone seemed to have a sudden whim and asked, "I don't know if my father knows where there are herbs to pick nearby. There are many injured people in my caravan when they fought with horse thieves."

Wang Gu looked at Xie Chen who had been watching by the side. Seeing Xie Chen nodding, he said, "You can go to find Dr. Chen in the village, he will give you some advice."
