The sky is bright summer on the banks of the Red River

Tadmore, a desert oasis hidden in a lush palm grove, is as beautiful as an oil painting, exquisite and delicate, quiet and peaceful.

Ming Xia rested in her yurt for a whole morning. After regaining her energy, she had a friendly meeting with the leaders of the caravan she arrived in the oasis.As the saying goes, more people are more powerful. After everyone discussed and discussed, a construction plan for Tadmore took shape.

Today's battle between Xitai and Mitanni has caused many people to be displaced, and many commercial and trade exchanges have also been interrupted. Now that they are free, it is just right to stay in Tadmore for infrastructure construction.

Half of the soil near Tadmore's oasis is gravel, and if you want to survive here for a long time, you must fundamentally change it.This oasis is very large and has abundant water resources. There is a quicksand environment as a barrier outside, but there is one of the most unsafe natural environments, that is, the temperature difference between day and night is too large.

In summer, the temperature in the sandy land near Tadmore is as high as 70°C in the daytime, but drops to -10°C at night.On winter nights, there will be frost flowers forming in the felt tents.The natural environment is so harsh, it takes a lot of effort to survive.

In the month since Mingxia left Tadmore, more than 40 kinds of desert plants cultivated in the space are growing well, which is very gratifying.Especially a large number of cactus trees, which are the most pleasant plants in Mingxia.Her plan is to move out the cultivated cactus trees in the space and transplant them around the oasis to form a complete circle of plants.

The next step is to reduce the salinity of the water source in the oasis. The only way now is to raise fish and shrimp, and use ecological methods to improve the water quality, so that the minerals contained in it, especially the smoke powder, are consumed, so that the ecologically purified water, People drink it without increasing or decreasing the burden on the body.

The most important thing is to prevent the desertification of the land around the oasis, so it is necessary to plant trees as much as possible to increase the plant coverage area.Especially in shelter forests and pastoral forests, a certain number of fruit trees should be planted.In this way, the food that people living here can absorb is more diversified.

The above is just one of the main tasks.

Another main task is to enable everyone in her tribe to take up arms and have the ability to protect themselves at critical moments.Because the Bedouin indigenous residents are quite brave, tough and unrestrained.If you look at the Nasu tribe and the Rawalia tribe, you will know how barbaric the people who came out of the desert are.

Mingxia's idea is to train a group of camel cavalry in the oasis, just like the Israeli cavalry.Only when one's own tribe becomes stronger and walks in the desert, will it not be bullied by other tribes.

burden.

Therefore, after discussing with her caravan leaders, Ming Xia returned to her felt tent and recorded the relevant knowledge that she could recall in her mind on the cloth one by one.Especially the physical fitness classes she took when she was in military school.There was no paper at this time, and the paper produced in Egypt was extremely expensive. It could be produced in the space workshop in Mingxia, but it could not be mass-produced.What's more, she feels that this thing should not be taken out. Everyone uses clay boards and cloth to record. It is already a luxury, so don't be unique.

Back in Ming Xia of Tadmore, her life became extremely full and tense.The temperature in the desert changes too much, so the daily work and rest time must be changed in accordance with the public.

Ming Xia asked that little loli that only the things she planted and raised can be moved, if she moves the original things in the Hualien world, she is ready to pay the price with her life, because this is not something that should appear in this world thing.Ming Xia felt very cheated because of this, she was glad that she was not lost by the world of Hualien.

Every morning, Ming Xia would take the women and children of the clan to transplant the desert plants she had grown, especially Haloxylon saplings and red willow saplings, because the roots of these two trees are most suitable for the growth of desert ginseng and cistanche. Growth, Cistanche nourishes the kidney yang, nourishes essence and blood, moistens the intestines and laxes the bowels, and the most important thing is to enhance the immune function of the body.Moreover, the Haloxylon tree is the favorite food of camels, and its branches can also be used as firewood.

Therefore, Mingxia's first task now is to lead the entire tribe to plant trees and plant a large number of cactaceae and succulent plants, such as aloe vera, centennial orchid, hair vegetables, licorice, ephedra, etc., which are very sand-fixing plants, etc. These plants are almost growing, and a circle of giant pillars, Tianlun pillars, and Wulun pillars will be planted around the entire oasis.

At the place close to the oasis lake, Ming Xia quietly moved some of the fish and shrimps he raised in the space into the oasis lake when everyone was sleeping peacefully at night.Because the water in the desert oasis has relatively high salinity, it is not suitable for irrigating crops. Ming Xia is also worried that these fish and shrimps will not adapt to the water quality environment, and they will mix natural fresh water from snow-capped mountains in a part of the space to mix in the oasis lake. inside.

In the circle near the oasis lake, Ming Xia got out the fruit tree saplings in the space and planted a large number of olive trees, date palm trees, citrus trees, lemon trees, fig trees and other plants that are more suitable for salt water irrigation.In short, Mingxia's goal is to expand the forest coverage of Tadmore as much as possible.

Every day's labor has to be staggered at noon when the sun is the strongest and most venomous, and those who are desperate are waiting to be dehydrated and turned into mummies under the scorching sun.

Every evening, Ming Xia would practice swordsmanship with the men in the tribe. By the way, she asked Cloton to teach her swordsmanship, and also invited another

Irene, the female team leader, taught the women's martial arts of her era.

Irene is a woman in her mid-thirties, with typical Akkadian features, big bones, high nose, deep eyes and thick lips, blond curly hair, clear and stylish features, and a heroic temperament with a bit of a woman's charm. She is gentle and gentle, but the two extreme temperaments are perfectly integrated in her body, wild and charming.Not obtrusive, not sharp, as if she was born to be that way.When she smiles, she always gives people a feeling of spring breeze.

She was also bought by Ming Xia from the slave farm.She is more restrained and forbearing than the wolf-like man like Yihabi, her character is completely like a violent lion concealed under a gentle mask.When you don't offend her, you can say anything, but once you touch her reverse scale, you will be instantly furious and completely transformed into another person.

When she was teaching Ming Xia, she was a serious and responsible teacher. She was very strict with Ming Xia's every action.Therefore, Ming Xia, who finished the fighting class every night, was always beaten up with bruises and bruises. Such a fulfilling and satisfying life made Ming Xia feel like returning to the time when he was studying in the military academy in his previous life.

In the middle of the night, Ming Xia would go to the space, take advantage of the time difference between the space and the outside world, practice hard fighting skills and swordsmanship, and restore her wounds along the way.Fortunately, the jade slips in this courtyard are all about medical knowledge. When Ming Xia was in Xitai, she also studied it carefully. At the same time, she also used the medicinal materials grown by herself to make various medicinal pills. , so she didn't leave any scars on her body.

During this period, Sarah's smooth return made Ming Xia's life even more exciting.

When Sara came back and saw that Ming Xia was unharmed, she danced happily, stepped forward and took Ming Xia's arm, and began to complain: "Master, you don't know, in order to get rid of the Assyrian spies following me, I took With the caravan crippling its strength, it made a twists and turns back here."

"Sara, welcome back to the team." Ming Xia also said happily, "However, it's time for you to call me patriarch instead."

"Wow! So fast, are you all coming back? Master Patriarch?!" The little girl called mischievously, "What is the name of our tribe? No one told me."

"Sarshat Tadmore," at this moment, Ihabi got out of nowhere, walked up to Ming Xia and stood still, and explained, "Sara, from now on we will be a branch of the Bedouin herdsmen. , now we all call ourselves the Tadmu tribe.”

"Ihabi," Sara let go of Ming Xia, looked at Ihabi with bright eyes, and said with a smile, "I almost don't recognize you with your outfit, you have completely become a herdsman."

At this time, Ihabi has already changed into the uniform uniform issued by Ming Xia to the tribe, the ankle-length beige lantern

Pants, a loose knee-length gown, and a five-finger-wide belt embroidered with the eagle logo is wrapped around the waist. On the belt is a machete forged from tungsten steel given by Ming Xia.A turban of the same color was wrapped around his head, and his dark honey-colored skin contrasted sharply with his clothing.However, his face with deep features is unique and eye-catching at this moment.Sarah also stared at him for a long time.

"This is very good, I like it very much. I would like to be a herdsman in Tadmore for the rest of my life." Ihabi said this, very happy and satisfied.

The reason is this. Ming Xia, who returned to Tadmore, started her oasis construction project, and began to move out all kinds of materials collected and accumulated in the West Terrace to the people in the tribe one after another. use.Thinking that everyone is stationed in the desert, and each tribe has its own token, Ming Xia, who went to do as the Romans did, changed all the members of the tribe into costumes according to the custom.

Sarah's return to the team made the worried Deporte, the old man who loved Sarah as his granddaughter, let go of his hanging heart.

The days go on, and life in the desert is monotonous and boring.However, because Ming Xia wants to transform the oasis, she often falls into bed and sleeps tired. She even seldom takes care of the crops in the space, and her life is quite fulfilling.

Now she is focusing on how to exercise her physical fitness, how to practice swordsmanship, how to learn fighting, and how to make her life in the desert more nourishing.

When Sara learned from Erin that Ming Xia was learning fighting and swordsmanship, she was also very interested in being Ming Xia's training partner.

However, such a day made Ming Xia's temperament completely wild from the bottom of his bones and soul.When Xitai captured Mitanni, she had completely transformed and was no different from the native Bedouin residents.The same toughness, the same tenacity, the same bravery, the same unruly, the bright double dove gray pupils are full of unrestrained and free.

The days in the desert seem to be the same, but they seem to pass by like a fleeting moment.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.The construction of Tadmore has also undergone great changes. The entire sand-fixing forest is growing very well, and the fish and shrimp raised in the lake in the next summer have also multiplied a lot. The entire tribe is blessed.

In the past three months, the most exciting thing for the tribe was that Mingxia brought Sarah and Yilin back thousands of camels from the desert.Ming Xia thought that there were so many camels that were kept in the ranch in Hualien World, and it seemed a waste of her effort to raise them if she didn't bring them out for use.He simply chose a day, went outside the oasis, and got out the camels she had raised earlier.

It's hard to imagine life in the desert without camels
