57: The runaway kid [pt3]

Keith had no idea if this was the night something was supposed to go wrong or not in the story but he was not going to take any risks.

In the end, Keith decided not to go too far into the Oasis green part so that he could keep an eye on Shinu. He could still see Shinu from his current place in the oasis so he was a little relieved by it.

He soon began to gather the nuts on the nearby trees, not even realizing when he lost track of time and his surroundings.

He did not notice someone sneaking up on him and ended up being hit in the back of his head. Then, he was picked up with Shinu and taken away from the slave traders.

"Looks like we got ourselves a good trade offer, boss. The kid looks young and I am sure that some rich master would buy him and this person here looks like a carbon copy of the grandmaster. He would surely fetch a good price for us."
