Chapter 220: Yelang Kingdom (5)
"Old man, you have camels at home. ”
The reason why I was able to guess correctly was because the old man used a word for nourishment.
This is the Great Gobi, and the camel is known as the ship of the desert.
It makes sense for someone to keep a camel in this stampede.
"Don't blame me, young man, for not reminding you, I have five camels, and these four were rented out yesterday, and now there is only one left, and if you miss it, I promise to stomp here, and you will never find a second camel. ”
There are five in total, and four were rented out at once yesterday?
Could it be that four people had already entered the Great Gobi before me? What were they doing in the Great Gobi?
"Young man, give me a word of approval, whether you rent or not. If you don't rent, turn around and leave. ”
This old man is also hard-tempered, and he really walks when he says go.
"I'll rent!"
The moment the old man turned around, I shouted at the old man.
"Okay, I told you 5,000 a day before the price, and I have to pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan before I take the camel. ”
I nodded to the old man, and if I hadn't met Shayma, I guess the camel alone would have stumped me.
It was Sayima who gave me the courage to borrow money from Qin Yue.
The camel is not here, it is in the old man's house, and I also followed the old man to his house.
In the old man's yard I actually saw a camel.
The old man taught me a few simple whip throwing movements, saying that it was for giving instructions to camels.
And after I paid the old man, the old man sold me water bladders and maps of the Great Gobi that he had drawn, as well as tents that must be used in the desert, anti-sand goggles, anti-sand suits, anti-sand hats, and so on.
And cheese!
These were indeed used in the desert, and I had to pay for them again.
This old man, not to mention that he really has his own set of rules in business.
As I took the camels, the old man told me that it was best not to go too far and not to spend the night in the desert, because there might be sandstorms in the coming days.
Although the old man cannot believe all his words, he cannot disbelieve them all.
This time, my purpose was just to find the way first, after all, this map is only half a map, and I have to figure out where this half of the map will eventually lead before I can make further plans.
And when I rode a camel into the Great Gobi, what I never expected was that I actually saw them in the Great Gobi.
I followed the map in a northeast direction, and it was on a small sand dune to the northeast.
Next to the dunes, four camels were resting on their knees, and four people were sitting on the dunes.
When I saw these four people, these four people were also looking at me.
They looked at me and laughed, and I laughed when I saw them.
"Zhang Bing, why are you so slow!"
Gu Yicheng got up and shouted at me.
I didn't pick up Gu Yicheng's words, but rode a camel to them step by step.
I walked to the sand dunes and gave the camel the order to lie down, and I tumbled off it.
Sitting on Dune Mountain is Qin Yue, Gou Tang, Hesheri Daina, and Gu Yicheng.
"Zhang Bing, your speed is really a bit slow, we have been waiting for you here for a day. ”
There was a complaint in Gou Tang's voice, and it was the kind of complaining at the level of a complaining woman.
But it was heartwarming to listen to.
I didn't ask them why they came, nor did I ask when they came, but walked up to Gu Yicheng and punched Gu Yicheng with my fist.
Qin Yue got up and walked in front of me.
"A million is your salary advanced from me, and according to your salary, you will have to work with me for at least five years. ”
Hearing Qin Yue's words, my eyes immediately widened.
"What?" I said, gesturing to Hesheridina.
"She's a million a month, and you're sexist. ”
"She has proved that she is worth the price by countless actions, but you have not, and this time, not only have you acted on your own initiative, but you have also violated the agreement between you and me, and it is already merciful that I did not fine you. ”
Qin Yue said a serious thing, I don't even know what words to use to answer this serious.
"By the way, I'll show you something. ”
I put down the backpack on my back and took the teal beads I bought from Shaima out of my backpack.
Just like the first time I saw it before, the moment I showed it in front of Qin Yue, it was still flowing with a luster that looked like a cloud.
And the two air masses in the bead are also swimming in it like two fish.
"What is this? Where did you come from?"
Gu Yicheng looked at the cyan bead and asked me.
"It was bought from a local, and she said it was her family heirloom. ”
At this moment, Qin Yue and the others were looking at this green pearl intently, and I was also waiting for Qin Yue's answer.
"It looks like a night pearl in terms of color. But it's not the same as the night pearl, this bead is thorough, and the stone patterns inside will still move, and it's the first time I've seen such a magical stone bead. ”
Gou Tang's answer is the same as not saying, there is no amount of information at all.
"Did the seller say the origin of this bead? ”
Hearing Qin Yue's question, I shook my head: "No, I didn't ask at the time." ”
"I can't tell the vintage, I can't tell the material, and it's the first time I've seen this kind of stone bead. ”
After Qin Yue said this to us, I told Qin Yue about the golden bean that I heard on the long-distance bus.
"You mean the inlaid golden beans, have you ever seen the real thing?"
Hearing Gou Tang's question, I still shook my head: "No, the uncle's golden beans have been confiscated from above." ”
Qin Yue asked me to put away this magical stone bead first.
After I put my backpack back on my back, the group of five of us was back on the road.
This time, Qin Yue and I coincided with each other, our purpose was to go to the end of this half of the map, and observe the terrain at the end before making plans.
From morning to two o'clock in the afternoon, we finally arrived at our destination.
Half of the map ends here, and the final point of the end is still the endless next door.
The only thing that struck me was that it was more desolate than the place we had traveled before.
The earth wall that is dry to the cracks, the land that is dry to the cracks, and at the end of the earth wall and the land is the desert.
The desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and at first glance it looks like a golden land.
"It seems that the final point of this half of the map is the junction between the Gobi and the desert, and if we want to go further, we have to go into that desert. ”
Although there is also a sandy land in the Gobi, it cannot be compared with the desert in front of us.
The desert in front of us is not only endless, but also has no grass, unlike the Gobi behind us, at least we can still see some green plants and earthen walls and soil recesses.
"Does the boss mean to prepare to enter the desert? I think the boss should know that it is easy to enter the desert, but it is difficult to get out of the desert. ”
"Not only do we have to face the scorching heat in the desert, but we also have to face sudden strong winds and quicksand, and this is just an environmental strategy, and we will also face survival tests after entering the desert, such as water and food, such as some uncertain factors. ”
Hearing these words of Hesheridina, each and every one of us fell silent.
After a long silence, Qin Yue also looked at each of us with an extremely serious gaze.
"Mount Everest can be conquered by humans, let alone a desert. ”
After Qin Yue dropped this sentence at us, he ordered the camel to turn around.
Hearing Qin Yue's words, I knew that Qin Yue had made up his mind.
I went back to prepare, to prepare all the supplies to enter the desert.
We silently followed behind Qin Yue, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched each of us and the figure of the camel sitting down.
We went back without hesitation, and we will set off again without hesitation.
Back to the stampede, when Qin Yue proposed to spend money to buy the old man's five camels, the old man immediately quit.
Not only did he not do it, but he also had a very tough attitude.
I don't know why this old man doesn't sell camels, but since even money can't impress him, then we have to give up.
