Chapter 588: Asking for Companionship
Jimmiti said stubbornly: "Abba is already an adult, he is fine at home, he doesn't need me to accompany him, and Grandma is also at home, he will not be lonely and dangerous." But I really want to go treasure hunting, sister, you can take me there. ”
Shang Beikai didn't expect that such a young child would have the same dream as himself, and he was very excited, so he said something for him: "That's it, sister, you can take this little Jimitty with you, it's better to have a local with you, it's better than a few of us who don't know the place." ”
Shang Muli always felt that they were messing around, and he didn't want to treat little Jimmy Ti, Xu Qingliu was of course the only business Muli's fate.
But little Jimiti and Mu Kekai have always been very persistent, and in the end, Shang Muli really had no choice but to move out of Uncle Bharati and said to little Jimitti: "Sister really can't take you away, if my sister takes you away, your father will also be worried." ”
Shang Muli was afraid that this sentence would not be convincing, so he turned his head to look at Uncle Bharati and said, "Yes, Uncle Bharati." ”
Little Jimmiti also knew that he had to listen to Abba, he was a very obedient child, so he looked at him with pleading eyes, and said pitifully, "Abba...... I want to go. ”
Bharati thought for a moment, and then said, "Otherwise, the beautiful Shang Mouli, you can take little Jimiti out together, he is a very well-behaved child, and he will definitely not cause you trouble." ”
In fact, Bharati wanted to send Jimmy out for another reason, in fact, he himself wanted to go out to see, and he also had a heart to hunt for treasures, but his career did not allow him to leave his post without permission, he had this heart, but he didn't have the time, so he could only give up, but he didn't expect that his youngest son also wanted to go treasure hunting, and it was like him.
He is actually quite considerate of his son, he is worried that if he doesn't let his son go this time, he may not have such an opportunity in the future, so he still wants his son to experience the process of treasure hunting to make up for his childhood regrets.
Moreover, although there will be dangers in the process of treasure hunting, if they can overcome this danger, it will be a matter of lifelong benefits, and he will encounter dangers in the future, and the possibility of being able to survive safely will definitely be much greater than that of his peers.
So after careful consideration, Bharati felt that it would not hurt for Jimmiti to go out for a walk with Shang Muli.
But Shang Muli is entangled, it's not sure if the three of them can come back safely, and now with a little child, it's true, they don't go to the exclusive, they are going to treasure hunting, treasure hunting will encounter danger, but why is no one worried.
Looking at Shang Muli's tangled little face, Xu Qingliu held her hand and said, "You just let them go, it's a big deal that we take care of this child more, nothing will happen, and besides, the children in the desert must be very familiar with Huangsha, and with him taking us there, the possibility of us encountering danger will be reduced." ”
Shang Muli looked at Xu Qingliu helplessly, "I hope what you say will become true, anyway, there is no better way now." ”
As soon as everyone saw Shang Muli's attitude, they knew that Shang Muli must have agreed, and sure enough, if she wanted Shang Muli to let go, she had to come to Xu Qingliu, so she listened to Xu Qingliu's words.
Jimmy learned that he could also go treasure hunting with him, so he was very excited, and he became more enthusiastic when facing Xu Qingliu and the others, and personally took them to set up a tent, and set it up, and made an appointment with them to go around tomorrow to inquire about the Kramakan Desert.
Shang Muli came out of the tent refreshed early the next morning, and called Shang Beikai, who was still sleeping.
Xu Qingliu and Jimmiti didn't need her to call them, because the two of them already had the habit of getting up early, so the group of four of them began a whole day of traveling to inquire about treasures.
Although there is only a long stretch of yellow sand and blazing blue streamers near the desert, the four of them have a future and a distant place in their hearts, so they are not afraid of the heat, drought and lack of water at all.
Because Shang Muli is familiar with this place, almost all of this operation is led by her, but now that Mijiti has come, Mijiti is constantly giving advice to the three of them.
The treasure hunting quadruple who asked around and didn't get anything sat on a small dirt bag to rest, and after looking for so long with no results, everyone was a little tired.
Jimmiti seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly stood up.
"Sister Shang Muli, there is an old man in our village who has lived for more than a hundred years and knows a lot of things, and our people here respect him very much, let me take you to find that old man!"
Usually older people can know a lot of things, so Xu Qingliu also felt that this was a good opportunity, so he agreed with Jimmiti's idea and said: "I think what Jimitty said makes sense, let's go and see." ”
Shang Muli said that he had no objections.
And because Shang Beikai is the initiator of this action, he is very much in favor of all the things that support the progress of this activity.
So everyone began to prepare to find the legendary centenarian again.
As a child, Jimitty was particularly energetic, and he was very nimble as he moved from tent to tent, and in a short time he led them to the centenarian's residence.
The centenarian was sitting in front of the tent and watching Taiqing fall.
The fiery red Taiqing stream is slowly sinking from the sky, dyeing the desert red, just like the ancient poem depicted, the sun sets over the long river, the scene is not spectacular.
Shang Muli When he approached this old man, he felt a heavy and simple artistic conception all over his body, and he had to sigh, he was really an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of personnel.
Jimmiti ran to the old man's side and moved a stool to sit down.
The old man obviously knew Jimmy too, and kindly touched his head.
Jimmiti and the old man exchanged a few words in their own dialect, but Xu Qingliu and the merchant siblings couldn't understand it at all, so they could only stand by and wait.
After a while, Jimmy came over and told them, "Grandpa Maimaiti is willing to answer a few questions for us that he can answer, Sister Shang Muli, Brother Xu Qingliu, let's go over." ”
Xu Qingliu nodded and led someone over.
This old man named Maimaiti is really old, and his white beard makes people feel very vicissitudes no matter how you look at it.
But he has a pair of wise eyes, because Xu Qingliu can see the clear eyes under the old figure of Grandpa Maimaiti.
Xu Qingliu felt that there was probably a drama this time, so he asked: "Hello! Uncle Maimaiti! We want to come and ask you something about the Taklamakan Desert." ”
Uncle Maimaiti took out his cigarette gun, lit it, and said, "You can ask directly, little Jimmiti has already told me." ”
Xu Qingliu nodded and said, "Then uncle, do you know where the safe zone of the Taklamakan Desert is?"
Xu Qingliu has asked this question many times, almost every person, but the answers given by everyone are the kind that can be found on the Internet, Xu Qingliu feels that these answers must be too conservative, so he wants to know more clearly.
When Uncle Maimaiti heard Xu Qingliu ask such an ordinary question, he said without thinking about it: "Everyone says that it is safe within a hundred meters of the desert, and you can come out in one day, and there is no quicksand or sandstorms." But I think this data is too tight, I have walked 150 meters, if the foot is fast, it is enough to go back and forth in a day. ”
This news is really important to Xu Qingliu and them, because the destination they are going to is 250 meters into the desert, not very far, but it is more than half of the safe range. Since Uncle Maimaiti said that he had been to a place of 150 meters, it means that the safe distance of this desert is not more than 10 meters, and if they go in, there is still a possibility of coming out safely.
Shang Beikai continued to ask at this time: "Uncle Maimaiti, how far can we go if we drive in?"
As if he had encountered a problem, Uncle Maimaiti frowned and said, "If you drive in...... I haven't driven it either, so it should be much faster than walking, so I should be able to walk in about halfway, but the desert is full of yellow sand, cars, it's easy to sink in, plus I don't know what the situation in the rice is, I don't know if I will encounter quicksand. ”
Uncle Maimaiti is right, if you encounter quicksand, this is indeed a problem.
Shang Muli thought for a moment and planned to compromise, and asked, "Then can we drive the car to a safe place and walk in again?"
Uncle Maimaiti nodded responsibly and said, "Of course you can, you can drive within a hundred meters of the edge of the desert." ”
Xu Qingliu and his party probably had a point in their hearts, so Shang Muli asked again: "Then Uncle Maimaiti, do you know if there is an oasis in the desert?"
Uncle Maimaiti smiled: "Little girl, there must be an oasis in the desert, otherwise how can it be called a desert oasis." ”
There are a number of oasis merchants, but she still wants to know where the oasis is.
So he continued: "Do you know where these desert oases are located?"
Maimaiti replied: "This desert is so big, how can I figure out the distribution points of each oasis, until my grandfather and they roughly searched for all the oases within 500 meters of the outer desert and drew a map." ”
Shang Beikai was excited at this time, he didn't expect to have a map again, anyway, as long as there is a map now, it must be a good thing.
"Uncle Maimaiti, can you lend us your treasure map? ”
Uncle Maimaiti didn't think it was difficult, so he nodded and said, "Of course." ”
So he slowly got up and went into the house to get the map.
