Chapter 8: The Camel Bell Jingles

"Due East...... Where is the direction due east?" Mo Yijiu is an out-and-out road blind, she will never go to any strange place alone, and there is never a time when she needs to discern the direction. She looked at Ren Zhen because she seemed reliable. It's just that this female writer who stays at home every day and codes words in the dark, her ability to discern the direction is really on par with the Queen of Mo.

"Isn't there a compass? Who of you will use it?" Ren Zhen touched his nose and said embarrassedly.

"I will. Zeng Jinjin and Ding Zhengyang spoke at the same time.

Mo Yijiu immediately showed joy on his face when he heard this, stuffed the wine jar into Ding Zhengyang's arms, and decided: "Then lead the way today, Zhengyang hugs the wine jar." ”

Zeng Jinjin was ordered and immediately began to fiddle with the compass, while Ding Zhengyang pretended to be surprised and said to Mo Yijiu: "Why do I do it? Didn't I say yesterday that the only man in our team is you, Sister Yi." ”

Mo Yijiu also smiled ill-willedly, patted her chest with his backhand, leaned over and said, "I asked you to hug it, not because you are a man, but because you are gay...... Got it, and let's go. ”

"Are you looking down on gay?" Ding Zhengyang complained after him.

Mo Yijiu turned around and said innocently: "How can there be, you know, I have always supported the freedom of love." You see, they're going in a different direction than we are...... Are you pointing the wrong way now?"

"Huh?" Zeng Jin stopped and saw that Xin Haoge was heading southeast, and then recognized the compass to make sure that there was no mistake, and then guessed: "It should be that the two wine jars got different prompts, so the routes they took were different." ”

As the people continued to walk, the road became more and more desertified, and there were still patches of grass squares, which were laid with wheat straw by the sand control people in order to prevent the desertification from intensifying, and as they went deeper and deeper into the desert, the vegetation became less and less, and the flow of yellow sand under their feet became more and more obvious.

The weather was dry, the sand was hot, she was already sweating, she didn't know how far she was from the designated place, but if you count the path taken to climb over the dunes, it was definitely more than a kilometer.

There are drones operating in the sky, and there are several cameras on the ground. For them, this reality show is a job in the real sense, without enjoying anything, and the most hard. The off-road vehicles of the program team drove by from time to time, leaving two long tire indentations on the endless desert, and they had to go to the front to arrange all the next, and wait for the east wind to blow by the eight people with all their preparations.

Climbing over another sand dune, the sight in front of them let them know that the first target had arrived.

There was a pile of wheat straw with five camels tied to it, and an old man dressed as an ancient peasant stood beside it, waving to them. When the four of them walked over, the old peasant asked in the local dialect, "Where are you going?"

Mo Yijiu didn't understand it for a while, and looked at Ding Zhengyang.

Ding Zhengyang hurriedly replied with a serious look: "Old man, we are going to find the lake, do you know where the lake is?"

"You said the lake...... the old farmer stroked his dry beard and said slowly: "I know that there is a Haizi Lake further in, far away." Or you can do a job for me, and when the work is done, I'll take you with a camel. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter, I'll tell you how to go. ”

"It's so good, there are camels to sit on!" Ding Zhengyang was happy when he heard that he was riding a camel, and it was better than nothing else to walk.

Mo Yijiu was not at ease for a long time, and said, "Then you ask him first what you want us to do." ”

Ding Zhengyang asked the old farmer, and the old farmer replied: "I want to lay a fifty-square-meter grass grid in this place, and then sow licorice seeds in the grass square, if the four of you stay and help me, it will be completed soon." ”

After discussion with the four of them, it was decided to do this task. They thought it would be worth it if the camels would take them straight to their destination just by laying the straw. ”

The old peasants taught them how to spread the straw. He would first draw grids on the sand, each of which was a square with a side of one meter. The four of them need to tie wheat grass on the drawn lines. Grab a handful of wheat straw, pat off the fine pieces and poor texture inside, then unfold and lay them on the drawn lines, and press hard along the edge with a shovel to let the wheat straw be embedded in the sand from the middle, half of the ground and half of the ground, to ensure that they stand upright, and it is done. Licorice seeds need to be sown at a depth of 2~3 cm below the ground, compacted, and watered again.

Mo Yijiu assigned the task, and the strength of stepping on the shovel fell entirely on Ding Zhengyang, and the three ladies each selected and placed the wheat straw. Wait until all the grass squares are laid out before sowing the seeds.

Although the work is not difficult, but the conditions are bad, the wheat straw pile and the grass grid run back and forth, stand up and squat down, and can still persist in practicing dance every day, but Ren Zhen is obviously a little weak, and he can't get up after squatting. Zeng Jinjin hurriedly went over and helped her to lie down on the wheat straw pile to rest. Ren Zhen covered his forehead and said, "I'm a little dizzy." ”

Mo Yijiu also came over and opened a bottle of water for her to rest first. Ren Zhen felt very sorry, said that he couldn't lie down, and insisted on picking thick wheat straw here.

Fortunately, there was still a little wind in the desert, so it was not too stuffy, but the sand was floating in the wind, and it was not very comfortable to get into the sweat.

"Thank you for your help, okay, I'll take you to Haizi Lake. ”

The staff had already installed cameras on the camel's body, and Mu Mu's cameras didn't need to follow, so he took the car of the program team and left.

I sat on my camel and watched them go away, but I began to envy them.

The speed of the camel is not fast, and the scorching sun is not sheltered, but it is much more comfortable than walking. The old farmer sat on the leading camel, followed by Ren Zhen, Zeng Jinjin, Mo Yijiu and Ding Zhengyang.

"Sister Zhen, are you feeling better? ”

"Much better, thank you. Hey, why are you in such good health, I just squatted a few times and it didn't work. ”

Mo Yijiu said: "You are a typical sub-health, because you usually exercise too little. ”

Ren Zhen smiled: "I really don't usually move, if Kexin hadn't dragged me over this time, I wouldn't have agreed." ”

"I thought the show was just fun. Zeng Jinjin wiped the sweat on his head with a tissue: "I didn't expect to come to work, it's too naΓ―ve." ”

Mo Yijiu enjoyed these and said, "Actually, this is also very good, my eyes are full of golden sand, and the camel bell rings in my ears, which I don't usually see." ”

Ding Zhengyang shouted while applying sunscreen in the back: "But it's so hot and sunny, if you don't wear sunscreen, you have to peel off the skin, do you want it, ZS brand, I heard that the sunscreen effect is particularly good." After saying this, he added in a low voice: "What the staff gave me just now said was a product of the sponsor, and I have to say a few words on the way." ”

Mo Yijiu looked back, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's so blunt." It's not strange for you to say that they let the three of us women not give it, so they give this gay. ”

"You look down on gay again, obviously I look more like a maintenance expert. Hurry up, cooperate a little, say the words!"

"Alright, alright, you do it again. ”

"Okay, here we are. Ding Zhengyang squeezed another piece of sunscreen on his arm, and asked while wiping it: "Hey, why is it so hot and sunny, if you don't wear sunscreen, you have to peel off the skin, do you want it, ZS brand, I heard that the sunscreen effect is particularly good." ”

"Throw it over. Mo Yijiu turned around to pick it up, and then tried it on the back of his hand: "It's really good, it's not sticky, and it absorbs quickly." You guys try it too......"

"Really. ”

said all the way to the advertising words, so that the program team could cut enough, but among the four people, only Mo Yijiu had acted, and the unnatural Cheng dΓΉ of the other three words was really enough to make people embarrassed, so it depends on the editing skills in the later stage.

About half an hour, the caravan stopped. The old farmer said, "This is Haizi Lake." ”

Zeng Jin looked at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, and couldn't believe: "Where is the lake?".

"It's long since it dried up, and you see those gravel roads, which are the riverbed. ”

"No, we're going to fill the lake, old man, it's not here. Is there a lake anywhere else?" asked Ding Zhengyang.

"Then you have to go twenty or thirty kilometers to the east. It's too far for me to take you there. ”

"It's not worth it to do the work just now. Ding Zhengyang frowned and asked the old farmer: "You can take us forward a little more, I have done so much work for you, and I am so tired that I just gave our sister that I fainted." ”

The old peasant shook his head and compromised: "Okay, there is a tea stall in front of you, and I will send you there for lunch." ”

The caravan traveled another kilometer and finally arrived at the location of the tea stall. It seems to be the place where the program team is temporarily stationed, and a lot of cars are parked.

As soon as the four of them got off the camel, their respective cameras followed.

They walked towards the tea stall, which was temporarily erected but very large, with eight tables of eight immortals placed under the shade cloth, full of people in ancient costumes, all dressed as staff. There is also a table in the middle that is empty. There are also four pots and many ingredients in the corner.

A person dressed as a junior came over and asked them, "Do you want to drink tea or eat?"

Ding Zhengyang asked, "Can I eat without money?"

Xiao Er looked at them with disgust and said, "It's not that you can't, you see, I have so many guests here, and they haven't ordered or eaten yet." If you don't have enough manpower, you can help me serve them stir-fry, and if you do it well, not only will you have a good meal, but you can also ask the guests for tips. If the guest is not satisfied...... Xiao Er took out four boxes of instant noodles from under the table, which were covered by the outer packaging: "Just eat this." ”
