I don't really get it.
The Mongol warrior wants the peasant to hold his balls so that they don't get dusty, and the peasant lets the balls get dusty anyway. The joke is the utter conformism of the peasant, willing to celebrate for a ridiculously small victory after the tragedy of his wife getting raped, when a real victory would have been cutting the warrior's balls.
Oh! It means literrally dusty on the outside? I thought it was a metaphor for "barren", but was not really sure how he had caused that, or how he could tell, or how it was such a great thing.
I guess
he didn't really hold the balls so they touched the dusty road. It would be easier to understand if the Mongol said why he needed his ball held.This whole comment chain is one sucker punch to the next
