Chapter 65 The Oasis Cult and the Spring Diggers
"I'm sorry, Brother Broly, I still want to stay in the village."
The resettlement allowance given to Dam easily solved the predicament facing his village, but the boy chose to stay in the village rather than leave with Broly.
He felt very sorry about this.
"Dam, if you stay here, aren't you afraid that if problems arise again, your grandfather will sell you out again?"
Lausanne was somewhat angry.
"My grandfather is over sixty years old and doesn't have many years left. He sold me for the sake of the village, the place where I was born and raised..."
Dam had his reasons, but he still lowered his head. He felt he was being a bit pathetic. He had met such a good older brother as Broly and so many good friends. He could have gone somewhere else and lived a good life.
"It's okay, just stay where you feel happy."
Unlike his angry friends, Broly didn't think much of it.
Dam chose to stay; if it would bring him happiness, then he would stay.
Nothing is more important than the pursuit of happiness.
"Nahashu, give him another settlement fee."
"Brother Broly?"
"Even drinking water costs money here, and prices are high, so it's only right that the resettlement fee increases a bit."
Nahashu remained silent for a while, but still quietly filled another bag with money and handed it to Dam.
With the boy's tearful farewell, Broly and the others left Rubber Tree Village and headed towards the village of the remaining three children in the central region of Katish.
When they arrived at the second village, the situation there was better than in the rubber tree village. Although they were still struggling to make ends meet, they did not need to rely on selling children to get through this year.
The second child returned home safely, and Broly again gave double the resettlement fee. The child's parents were just ordinary villagers, and could only express their gratitude in a low-key manner.
In the evening, Broly and his companions arrived at the third village, but it was in ruins. After inquiring in a nearby town, they learned that the village had been attacked by a dangerous species and had been deserted two months ago.
As for whether anyone survived, no one knows. After all, no one was interested, and they weren't related. Therefore, the third child's attempt to return home failed.
The girl with the delicate features cried for a while, but fortunately she had a companion by her side. Merard said he knew how to comfort people, so he went into the room to comfort the girl.
The next day, the girl who had lost her home indeed recovered her spirits, and Broly was curious about how Merad had done it.
"This is a skill I taught myself. Do you want to learn it? If so, I can teach you."
Merard was very excited about this and said that she could teach Broly this comforting technique step by step if he wanted to learn.
However, before Broly could say he wanted to learn, Mine ran over and pulled him away.
"What's wrong, Mine?"
"Merard's methods of comforting people are so strange; she will touch people's bodies with her hands and lick their ears with her tongue."
When Mine said this, her face turned red. She instinctively felt that Merard's methods were very improper.
"If you want to learn, you're welcome to come crawl into my bed anytime."
Melard smiled and said that he did not stop Mine from pulling Broly away.
"Can touching someone with your hands and licking their ear really comfort them?"
Broly imagined the scene and felt like he had learned something new.
As for crawling into Merard's bed, he already knows how, so why would he need to crawl into the bed?
It's more comfortable to sleep alone in bed, at least you don't have to worry about killing someone in your sleep.
In the morning, after leaving the hotel, the small group split into two, with Broly taking Nahash and the fourth child, Tulik, back to each other's homes.
The others stayed in town to help search the third village for survivors and to see if they could find the girl Melard comforted the night before, or her family members who might still be alive.
. . . .
"Grab him! Don't let that bastard get away!"
Having just arrived at the fourth village... well, it should be called a town without walls yet, Broly and his companions heard a loud, boisterous shout coming from the alleyway next to them.
"Please, let me hide for a bit."
A middle-aged man with messy hair, carrying blueprints, rushed out of the alley. Upon seeing the carriage, he rushed over, jumped onto it, and then gracefully lay down. He then whispered his request to the two children inside the carriage.
Where are they?
Not long after, a group of people dressed in green robes ran out of the alley.
They were all carrying forks and sticks, looking quite menacing.
"Child in the carriage, did you see someone run past just now?"
Broly's trouser leg was tugged, and the man lying in the carriage gave him a pleading look. Broly scratched his head and then pointed in a direction to the people outside: "Someone did run out just now. He ran straight over there and disappeared in a flash."
"Hurry and chase after them! We must burn that bastard Batunan's blasphemous blueprints."
Outside the carriage, a group of men in green robes didn't even say thank you, but chased after Broly in the direction he had pointed.
A group of people disappeared around the corner in just a few breaths.
The man hiding in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief after they left.
"Kids, thank you for covering for me."
The man thanked them politely, then reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a while. Under the watchful eyes of Broly and Tulik, he couldn't find anything after a while, which made him a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to escape and didn't have much with me, so I can't give you any reward."
Broly waved his hand; he didn't really care about the reward, he was just a little curious.
"Why are those people chasing after you? Did you do something wrong?"
"Those people are members of the Kathisi Oasis Cult, and they are targeting me because my idea of breaking ground on the riverbed violates their doctrine."
"Break ground?"
"It's about digging a spring. I want to dig a spring again on the dried-up riverbed of Kathi, so that water can flow through that dried-up riverbed again."
As Batu Nan said this, he tumbled off the carriage, but his poor carriage-tumbling skills made it seem as if the carriage had overturned.
With a cry of pain, the man must have twisted his ankle, but he still picked up his blueprints and prepared to leave, limping along.
"Hey, you guys should hurry up and leave too, otherwise once those Oasis Cult guys return without catching anyone, they'll definitely bother you and make things difficult for you."
The children in the carriage helped him, and Batu Nan couldn't let them be implicated because of him.
"Brother Broly, I've found out... Hey, who's this?"
When Nahashu returned, he saw a lame man by the carriage and asked him something.
"Someone who wants to dig for a spring—but then again, what is a spring?"
Broly gave an introduction, then asked the question.
"A spring must be a place where a lot of water comes out."
Nahashu thought for a moment and then said.
"Huh, water's coming out?"
Broly's eyes lit up.
"Wait, get in the car. I'm interested in digging for springs."
As Broly said this, without waiting for the man's refusal, he lifted the man with his sprained ankle onto the carriage with one hand.
"Giddy up!"
The carriage was driven away, and although there was a strange passenger, it continued towards the fourth child's house.
Meanwhile, a group of followers of the Kathisi Oasis Cult chased after the person for a long time without seeing him, realizing that they might have been deceived.
The group returned grumbling, intending to settle scores with the brat who gave them the wrong directions, but when they came back, they found that the carriage was gone.
"Damn it, I'll go wait for him at Batunan's house. I refuse to believe that guy won't come home!"
A group of people, cursing and swearing, went to guard the house.
