Chapter 39
When the group finally arrived at the legendary oasis valley, Xie Chen was only surprised, unlike the others who were ecstatic.This legendary heaven-sent treasure land actually exists?

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

It was already another month of sacrifice when everyone rebuilt the prototype of the village in the oasis valley.

Different from the hasty sacrifices on the road before, this time the sacrifices are much more formal and grand.

Except for the same sacrifice as before, before the end of the sacrifice, everyone spontaneously prayed to the four spirits, thanking the gods for giving this place of refuge.

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 and river valley, everyone cultivated fishing and hunting, and everything seemed to be thriving. Even Xie Chen got a hastily built wooden house and became a doctor in the village.

But with the passage of time, and several months passed, the attitude of everyone who settled down towards Xie Chen seemed to have changed unconsciously.

Although no one made any ostracism or hostility towards Xie Chen on the surface, in fact, everyone's attitude towards him gradually began to alienate.

From Xie Chen's point of view, he certainly doesn't care about this change. After all, with his current status, it is enough to have a place to live in seclusion. As for the gradual alienation of others, he even feels a kind of joy in it. of leisure.

But most of the time, things are not always so easy to please.

On this day, Wang Gu came to visit again.

"Doctor Chen." Wang Gu said with a kind face, "How are you going these days?"

Xie Chen looked at the old man in front of him and thought for a while: "The life is going smoothly. After all, for a person like me who is panicking like a bereaved dog and has gone to the end of the world to seek refuge, it is a luxury to have this square inch of land to settle down. Something's been confusing me lately."

Wang Gu showed curiosity when he heard this, and said enthusiastically, "I don't know what it is?"

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

Wang Gu heard the words and said seriously: "But there are people in the village pushing and bullying?"

Xie Chen shook his head: "Most of the people are simple and honest, so naturally they won't be like this, it's just that the daily communication is always a bit cold, but I don't know why."

Wang Gu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "So that's the case, I'm afraid the old man has no good plan for this matter, and I hope Haihan."

Xie Chen wondered: "I don't know what I did wrong to offend everyone?"

Wang Gu shook his head and said: "It's not that I did something wrong, it's just because my family and I have lived in the desert for generations and we rarely see outsiders, and thanks to the friendship we shared weal and woe on the road before, it would have been more obvious."

Xie Chen was still puzzled: "Outsiders? What about outsiders?"

Wang Gu continued: "My family has believed in the four spirits since birth, and everything is guided by the four spirits. Now you live in the village, but you don't worship the four spirits. After a long time, everyone is always feeling unhappy. But thinking about the friendship along the way and the kind deeds of saving people with medicine in daily life, it will be like this now."

Xie Chen pondered for a moment and said: "If this is the case, I'm afraid more things will happen after a long time."

Wang Gu just sighed and said: "This old man is also negligent. Dr. Chen is from the Central Plains, so he naturally has different beliefs from ours in the desert of the Western Regions. I will explain to my tribe when I go back this time, and you can rest assured."

After speaking, Wang Gu got up and left.

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

Everyone took some dry food gifts and came up to apologize one after another. They only said that Dr. Chen was unhappy because of their pettyness and narrow-mindedness before.

Xie Chen didn't even accept the gift even if he didn't dare, but let everyone go back.

In this way, the matter seemed to be over. The people in the village were no longer indifferent because Xie Chen didn't believe in the four spirits. Send some game food.

People in the village are more and more regular in offering sacrifices to the Four Spirits. Even if Xie Chen doesn't believe in it, he is happy to watch every sacrifice as it is a festival event.

"Someone is coming outside!"

On this day, the hunters in the village had just rushed back to report the news, and all the people in the village were in a mess for a while. The women took the children to hide in the room, and the men gathered together with pitchforks and hoes.

"Doctor Chen, hide quickly, someone is coming outside, I'm afraid it's those horse thieves chasing after him!" Naturally, someone came to inform Xie Chen.

Xie Chen said, "If that's the case, I can't hide anymore. Since I live here, I naturally want to be with everyone."

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

Seeing a group of about ten riders with chariots and horses emerge from the yellow sand of the desert, everyone in the village breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turned out to be a false alarm." Wang Gu said with a smile, "I just don't know how this caravan came here."

After some conversation, Wang Gucai found out from the caravan that they were originally businessmen from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. They encountered robbers on the road. Although they fought back after fighting the enemy, they were lost in the desert because of this. Orientation, arrived here in a daze.

The person sent by the caravan said: "I hope that the old man will make it easier for me and my group to rest at your place to buy some dry food and water."

Seeing that many people in the caravan were wounded, Wang Gu hesitated, "I just don't know about those horse thieves..."

The caravan said humanely: "Is the old man worried that those horse thieves will come after him?"

Wang Gu nodded and remained silent.

The caravan said humanely: "Don't worry, old man, the horse thief has been repelled by the caravan. The whole journey has been full of yellow sand. Even if there are still accomplices, they will not be able to find them no matter what."

Only then did Wang Gu loosen his mouth and said, "There are few people in our village and we seldom communicate with outsiders. There are no inns or other places for you to rest. We can only trouble you to camp and rest in an open space near the village."

Everyone in the caravan could see it clearly, and after agreeing, they asked for food and water.

Wang Gu only said that the oasis river water can be taken by themselves. As for the dry food, they can only talk to the villagers by themselves.

"Then thank you, old man, for taking me in." Everyone in the caravan bowed their hands to thank Wang Gu. When they were leaving, someone seemed to ask on a whim, "I don't know if old man knows where there are herbs that can be picked near here. There are many war casualties."

Wang Gu glanced at Xie Chen who had been watching, and seeing Xie Chen nodding, he said, "You can go to Dr. Chen in the village, and he will give you advice."
