Chapter 761 (2/2)

The old man's reaction was unexpected. He smiled and said, ”young man, you must be hungry. Don't be embarrassed. It's also fate to meet you in the desert. The so-called misfortune will not kill you. Although I don't have any luck meeting the old man, I won't let you hungry. Come in.”

After following the old man into the house, Zhang Yitian understood some things he couldn't think of before. There were many animal skins hanging on the wall of the earth house, and a long bow in the center of the wall. Obviously, this is the tool that the old man depends on to survive in the desert.

The old man explained with a smile when they looked at the animal skin on the wall, ”There is nothing else in the desert, but there are still a lot of wild animals, and there is an ice lake not far from here. The ice lake is very dangerous. Powerful monsters live in the ice lake. There are some weak monsters outside. They can live by hunting two every day. Moreover, there is water, fish and shrimp in the water, and wild fruits in the forest. Life is no problem.”

Knowing the details, Zhang Yitian nodded, and finally his eyes fell on the long bow hanging on the wall. He went over, picked up the long bow and stroked it. He could clearly feel that there was a mysterious force flowing in the long bow, which surprised him. ”This bow is very special!”

The old man smiled and said, ”yes, my little brother is a man who knows the goods. I'm not a monk. I don't have the ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth. I can survive in the desert by relying on this bow. It was forged by a Weapon Master in juejian city. Its name is' month by month '.”

Knowing the origin of the bow and arrow, Zhang Yitian asked again, ”I can feel a mysterious energy in the bow, but I can't see its origin. I don't know if I can tell you one or two and open my eyes.”

The old man explained: ”Nothing. The characteristics of this bow are in its name. The reason why it is called month by month is that this bow can exert its maximum power only in the moonlight at night. When it is used during the day, its power will be much smaller. Therefore, I usually go out to hunt at night and rest at home during the day. On the one hand, it is because of this bow, on the other hand, it is caused by the climate in the desert. It is relatively hot during the day It's hot. Animals can't curl up. There are only a lot of prey at night. ”

After explaining the origin and characteristics of the month by month bow, the old man began to prepare food, took out the wild fruits and fruit wine collected in the house, ran to the kitchen, brought out the cooked animal meat, and set a full table.

Looking at a table of delicious dishes that are not good food, Zhang Yitian was not polite. He ate a large piece of fruit wine. In contrast, Duanmu Xianyue had no appetite. He took a chopstick meat and picked it in the bowl, but didn't send it to his mouth.

”Female doll, why don't you eat it? Is the food not delicious?” the old man looked at her with concern.

Zhang Yitian swallowed a piece of meat, picked up his wine glass and touched the old man. He casually explained, ”don't think about it. Maybe it's too hot, so she can't eat. Let her slow down for a while.”

The old man was very enthusiastic. He pushed all the wild fruits on the table down in front of Duanmu Xianyue, pointed to one of them, which was fiery red, just like fire dragon fruit, and said, ”this kind of fruit is called huotoutuo, which can only be found in the desert, and it is rare to see it. Only those who are favored by God can meet it.”

Duanmu Xianyue said strangely, ”where did you come from?”

Speaking of huotoutuo, the old man couldn't help but smile, ”I came to this desert a year ago. I came to ice lake to collect lotus with the caravan at that time. Unexpectedly, I met a sandstorm and the team was blown away. When I woke up, I lay under a pile of yellow sand and didn't go out for a long time.

I thought I couldn't live, so I prayed with God. If I could survive, I would stay in the desert for a year to protect the desert. Finally, God took care of me. I found two huotoutuo fruits. I ate one and survived. I found this village and stayed here. ”

Knowing the origin of huotoutuo fruit, Duanmu Xianyue refused to eat the fruit. ”This fruit means different to you. I can't eat it. You'd better keep it.”

Zhang Yitian knows the climate in the desert. Generally, when the fruit comes to this place, it takes only one day to turn into dried fruit. If people die in the desert, the corpse will not rot and will eventually turn into a dried corpse. However, the old man's huotoutuo fruit is still the same as the one just picked. If there is no special reason, the old man must be talking nonsense.

Thinking of this, he asked, ”the fruit has been kept for a year. Why hasn't it dried up?”

The old man explained with a smile, ”you only know one thing. Huotoutuo is comparable to the magic pill. It can take root wherever there is sand. I put this fruit in the sand basin for support, so it has always been fresh. Now the time of one year is coming, and the old man is leaving. Huotoutuo can't get out of the desert, otherwise it will rot. it's better to give it to you and hope to bring you good luck.”

Under the old man's persuasion, Duanmu Xianyue finally agreed to eat the huotoutuo, but she took a bite, fell down, lay on the table and fell asleep.
