Phantom of the Pirate

"By the way, I haven't asked the old man yet, your name?" After entering the room and sitting down, Hua Mantian looked at the old man apologetically and asked.

"My name is Duo Tuo, and I led the people to build this city!" After the old man Duo Tuo introduced his name, he looked out of the house with some nostalgia.

"Old man, do you live here alone?" When the old man poured a glass of water for each of the three of them when he came into the house, Hua Mantian asked. They were following the old man all the way to tell what they found, so they were puzzled. asked.

"Since you have asked this question, let me tell you about it!" It may be that a person has lived here for too long, and there has been no one to chat with him, so this time when Huamantian and the others came, it was a matter of time. The son opened his chatterbox.

"Where we are now, it wasn't like this a few years ago, when it was an oasis."
Hearing the old man Duo Tuo started to tell the story, Hua Mantian and the others didn't say anything, but slowly picked up the water in their hands and listened quietly.

"About seven or eight years ago, there was nothing here at that time. I got the king's permission and brought people here to build this oasis to make it more suitable for people to live in." Said here , the nostalgic emotion in Duo Tuo's eyes is even higher, and the eyes have become more profound.

"At that time! Although we were very tired every day, we lived happily every day. After all, we had to build our own home, which itself is a happy thing."

"But the good times don't last long. Not long after we built you, that is, three years ago, it stopped raining here." Doto sighed and continued.

"They are the king who used dancing powder to rob the whole country of rainwater, but I don't believe it. What kind of person is the king? I know that he would never do such a thing, because he I will never harm my own people, I know that!" Having said this, Duo Tuo became a little emotional.

"Oh! But other people don't believe it! Maybe they believed it at the beginning, but because the rain is getting less and less, and now, there is no rain at all, so the people here slowly left " Doto said here, sighing helplessly.

"Then old man, why didn't you leave? After all, there is no rain here." Looking at Duo Tuo's appearance, Panda asked a little puzzled.

"Because this is my dream! I promised the king at the beginning that I would definitely build this place, so I can't leave." When he said this, Doto's wrinkled face had a pair of eyes shining brightly. Hui.

After hearing Doto's words, the panda also seemed very excited. After all, although most of the reasons for going out to sea were because Locke saved them, they followed Locke all the time because they wanted to repay their favor, but as a young man who is still dissatisfied , who can buy a little dream yet.

If it hadn't been for the massacre of the villagers on the island, the pandas and the others might have rotted this dream in their hearts and kept it as a sigh of relief when they were old. But because of an accident, they lost their homeland and had to Following Locke to the sea, the dreams hidden deep in their hearts sprouted again.

After all, living in this world, who doesn't want to gallop on this vast sea, even if the final ending may not be very ideal, but at least they have pursued it before, and that's enough.

So when Doto spoke about his dream, Panda was very touched.

After a brief silence, Huamantian felt that it was better for him not to talk about this topic. After all, it could be seen that although the old man Duotuo looked very energetic now, Huamantian had already used his true energy in He has sensed it on his body, and there are many hidden wounds on his body, which is simply not suitable for such a state of great sorrow and joy.

"Old man, when we came here just now, we saw you digging something in that big pit, can you tell us what exactly you were digging?" Hua Mantian changed the subject.

As for Ximen Yushi, who has not spoken all the time, although he is also listening to the old man telling the story, he is obviously not very focused. Cleaned it up, and he poured some water from the cup to clean the sand on his hair.

"I'm digging for treasure hidden in the sand!" Although Hua Mantian's method of changing the subject was very poor, the old man didn't express any dissatisfaction, but answered his words with a smile.

"Treasure?"

When the panda heard the word treasure, both eyes began to shine, and Ximen Yushi, who was not listening very much, also quietly pricked up his ears.

"Yes, it's a treasure. This is a treasure as important as life, and I believe I will find it." Duo Tuo looked very sure when he said this.

"Have you found it yet?" Panda asked impatiently.

"It can't be said that we didn't find it! We can only say that we found some, not many." Seeing the eager look of the panda, Duo Tuo just smiled and shook his head and said.

"Oh? Did you find it? Can you show us? We are really curious about what kind of treasure the old man has been looking for!" Hua Mantian is also curious about the treasure he said, after all, he can talk to him A treasure that is equal to life, what kind of thing must it be to compare with life.

"You have already seen it. The treasure I am looking for is what you have in your hands." Seeing that the few people were indeed curious by his words, the old man Duotuo didn't play tricks, and directly told them the final answer. .

"Is it water?" Looking at the water in the said water glass, Hua Mantian suddenly asked.

"It's also in the desert. Water is indeed something comparable to life. If there is no water, there is no way to survive in this desert." Looking at the half glass of water in his hand, the panda said in a daze.

On the other side, Ximen Yushi wanted to continue pouring some water to straighten his hair, but after hearing what the old man said, he silently straightened the tilted water glass.

"Is this water really dug out from the ground? I just saw that the bottom is full of sand, so there can be no water at all!" Hua Mantian was a little puzzled.

"Of course we can. As long as I dig deeper, water will come out!" Duo Tuo said with certainty.
