After Yuan Zhizhi finished speaking, the monitor lizard raised its thick long tail and swung it fiercely.
"call--"
A violent gust of wind and sand suddenly rolled up, like a sudden sandstorm, rushing towards the surroundings.
As the yellow sand rolled up, screams of terror immediately rang out from all around.
"ah--!"
"What is this thing!"
“Run! Run!”
"It's a monitor lizard! How is that possible? Don't they only live in the heart of the desert? How could they appear here?!"
Yuan Zhizhi lay beside Duota, protecting him tightly, fearing that he would fall because of the giant lizard's movements.
At the same time, they widened their eyes and looked at the chaotic scene in front of them.
Sure enough, there were many figures all around the desert. At this moment, they were staggering in the wind and sand in a miserable state, trying desperately to escape into the distance.
If she really showed up with Duota, they would definitely be surrounded.
The monitor lizard's narrow eyes swept over these people coldly, and it growled, exhaling a burst of hot air from its mouth. Its huge figure in the yellow sand was like a moving sand dune, frightening those people so that they dared not come any closer.
Yuan Zhizhi looked at the figures fleeing in a panic, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She raised her little face, put her hands together, and said to the giant lizard,
[Big Lizard, let's go! ]
After causing a commotion and clearing out a group of people, the giant lizard stretched out its heavy limbs and took Yuan Zhizhi with it, heading deeper into the desert.
This time the monitor lizard went in the opposite direction, and after walking for an unknown distance, it arrived at an oasis formed by a small lake.
This place is quite far from the edge of the desert and it is difficult for searchers to find it.
Yuan Zhizhi asked the monitor lizard to put her down not far from the oasis and decided to stop there.
The monitor lizard could no longer enter the oasis, so she said goodbye to the monitor lizard.
Thank you, big lizard!
To avoid danger, she first placed Dota in a shady place, and then she tiptoed into the valley to see if she could find a hiding place.
However, after taking a walk, she didn't find anyone else here.
So she thought for a moment and prepared to go back and find a way to drag Dota in.
But as soon as she returned to the place where she placed Dota, she noticed that there was someone next to Dota.
Her heart skipped a beat and she found a place to hide and observe.
Could it be that he was found by those bad guys?
But fortunately, the person observing Dota was a teenager.
The young man was carrying a basket on his back, dressed simply, and had a dark face. He didn't look like a bad person.
He squatted beside Dotta, seemingly sizing him up.
After seeing clearly that they were not the bad guys, Yuan Zhizhi quickly ran out and ran to Duota.
The young man noticed the movement, raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he saw Yuan Zhizhi, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
He glanced around again, his gaze finally settling on the child in front of him.
This kid... looks like he can't even walk steadily... How come he's here?
Noticing the boy's gaze, Yuan Zhizhi became a little defensive. With a stern face, she stepped forward to protect Duota.
But the boy's eyes flickered between her and Dotta, then he grinned, revealing large white teeth that contrasted sharply with his skin tone.
Yuan Zhizhi opened her mouth and asked incoherently,
"Who...is...?"
The boy heard her words but did not answer. Instead, he gestured.
Yuan Zhizhi tilted her head and frowned slightly.
Is this boy a mute?
She pursed her lips and shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand sign language.
If I had known this earlier, I would have learned more from my second sister.
The boy couldn't communicate with her, so he had to try a simpler way. He pointed at Yuan Zhizhi, then at Duota lying on the ground, with a questioning expression.
Yuan Zhizhi probably understood what he meant, thought about it, and replied to the boy,
"He..." She pointed at Dota with her little hand, "Daddy..."
To avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be better to pretend that they are father and daughter.
The young man showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. He pointed to the sun in the sky and gestured again.
Yuan Zhizhi tried hard to understand and thought he was saying that it would get hotter.
At this time, the desert sun gradually rose higher, and the scorching sunlight shone on the sand, making people's cheeks hot.
She nodded vigorously.
But the next moment, the boy lifted Dota up.
Yuan Zhizhi was startled, and the boy pointed in the direction of the oasis again. He carried Duota in one hand and stretched out the other hand to Yuan Zhizhi, motioning her to hold his hand.
Yuan Zhizhi blinked, with a hint of doubt and hesitation in her eyes.
She looked at the boy's dark face, then at his strong arms, and thought silently in her heart:
[He's so strong he can actually carry the big devil!]
But she was also a little cautious. After all, they were in the vast desert, and who knew if they would encounter bad people.
She hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and looked at the boy with round eyes.
Seeing that she didn't move, the boy grinned, pointed in the direction of the oasis, and patted his chest patiently to show that he meant no harm.
Yuan Zhizhi blinked, her eyes flickering. She looked down at the unconscious Duota, thought for a moment, and finally reached out her hand, warning in a childish voice,
"Nee...don't lie to me! I...will bite you!"
The young man was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected that this little girl with a sweet voice could be so powerful.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, then he nodded solemnly, his eyes full of smiles.
Yuan Zhizhi then hesitated and held out her little hand, which was then held in the boy's broad palm.
