Chapter 163: Bartering
While a few people were talking and laughing, a large number of goods were carried over.
The post soldiers led by Xiaobao were responsible for escorting envoys and tribute, while Zhou Min's team was escorting merchants and goods.
Soon, a camel team stepped on the soft sand and slowly walked to the front of everyone, and the choreographer divided three camels and handed them to Zhou Min for them to load.
Chang Teng realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "There are five of us, why are there only three camels?"
The choreographer explained: "The post house is not allowed to ride camels, and these three camels are for you to pack goods. ”
At this time, Xiaobao and the others had already ridden the camel, and laughed and said: "I told you to be clever, but you were mistaken by being clever! We will go first! Drive!" said and clamped the camel between his legs, but the camel did not move at all.
Chang Teng puffed and laughed: "Are you leaving?"
Xiaobao embarrassedly shouted at the actor dressed as an official in front of him: "Let's go!"
The official couldn't hold back a smile and rode forward on a camel, a few camels behind him slowly followed, and the group walked towards the yellow sand.
Watching them set off, Chang Teng sat on the ground, picked up a watermelon and threw it to Zhou Min: "Amin, open a melon and taste it, my brother hasn't eaten a watermelon on the Silk Road yet." ”
Watching Zhou Min slap the watermelon away, Hu Kexin's eyes widened in surprise: "You really listen to Brother Teng, this is the goods we transported!"
Chang Teng smiled: "Do you think the program team will safely let us send these things to the destination, just eat, listen to my brother's yes!"
Liu Qian smiled and nodded, ran up and took out a watermelon from the basket, and leaned over to Hu Kexin and handed it over: "Sister Kexin, you can try it too." ”
Thinking of the experience of the last episode, Hu Kexin felt that what Chang Teng said was so reasonable, and suspected that while Chang Teng read the script, he sat down cross-legged and slapped the watermelon, and the watermelon cracked into three petals with a click, and the two of them immediately ate it.
"Well, it's so sweet!"
"Well, the watermelon here is really delicious, much sweeter than Xiangjiang's!"
Looking at a group of people sitting on the ground eating melons, the director smiled helplessly and urged: "Before dark, you have to rush to the Shazhou Station thirty miles away, and it will be too late if you don't go on the road." ”
Zhou Minshen was saying: "The sandbar should be the ancient name of Dunhuang, I can't run thirty miles in less than an hour, even if I add five times the time, I'm afraid it won't be dark." ”
At this time, the director was completely speechless, too lazy to pay attention to them, and got in the car to chase Xiaobao and their team.
After repairing for more than half an hour, everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, and led the camels on the road.
Hu Kexin stared at the camel grass in front of him while walking, and his intent-averse appearance made Chang Teng couldn't help but ask, "Kexin, what do you see?"
Hu Kexin pointed to the grassroots and said: "There are geckos in the desert, it's amazing!"
Chang Teng suddenly was happy, raised his head slightly and said: "The gecko in the desert is referred to as the sand wall!"
Hu Kexin looked like he had gained knowledge, and his eyes lit up and said: "It turns out that they are called Shabi, I really want to catch one and take it home." ”
"Poof! hahaha!" Chang Teng immediately burst out laughing, and his waist was about to bend down with laughter, making Hu Kexin look confused.
Zhou Min couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't listen to Brother Teng, these little things are called sand lizards, which are a kind of lizards." ”
A few people were walking forward, and Liu Qian suddenly screamed: "Look at what's ahead!"
Zhou Min looked up and found that there was a white skeleton exposed on the sand dune in front of him, and there was a box buried next to it, so he couldn't help but stop.
Chang Teng stepped forward and said, "This skeleton is so big, it should be a camel." ”
Zhou Min jerked the corner of his eyes: "Brother Teng, you dig out the things under your feet and take a look." ”
Chang Teng looked down and saw that there was a bone under his feet, and he inserted his hand into the sand and pulled out the bone, which was a complete human skull!
"Mom!"
Chang Teng was stunned for two seconds, shuddered suddenly, threw away his skull and ran back to Zhou Min's side, his body trembled vigorously, and his eyes widened in disbelief and said: "Where did the program team find the bones of the people, they can't be killed now, right?"
"I also think so, looking at the bone physiognomy, it should be that Mr. Zhang Li didn't run away. ”
Zhou Min was amused by him, laughed and teased, and stepped forward to open the box buried in the sand. The box was filled with jewels such as pearls and white jade, but it was light to hold in your hand, and it looked like a prop made of plastic.
After churning for a while, Zhou Min found a silk map inside, and immediately rejoiced: "I found a map!"
"Brother Teng, what are you doing?"
"Worship Teacher Zhang Li, he is following us in the province, you should also come and worship quickly?"
Chang Teng's serious appearance made Zhou Min cry and laugh, so he quickly pulled him up and got back on the road.
On the other side, Xiao Bao and others in armor rode camels in the yellow sand, sweating under the scorching sun.
Xiaobao turned his head with a sad face, and shouted to his companions behind him: "I finally know why Amin chose the clothes of the post house, this armor is heavy and impermeable, and it absorbs heat, and it burns people to death when they wear it." ”
Yang Xiuwen wiped his sweat, took off his helmet, and shouted, "Do you still have water, mine is finished!"
Xiaobao shook the water bag and sighed, "I'm gone!"
The kettle of other people had already bottomed out, and everyone sighed for a while, and at this time, under a tall camel grass in front of them, there were two vendors wearing Western Regions costumes, a man and a woman, which immediately made everyone happy.
"Brother Bao, there seems to be fruit in that basket!"
"Oh, and Dunhuang mineral water!"
"Dunhuang mineral water is good, pure natural and pollution-free, rich in a variety of minerals! Known as the gold in the desert! I like to drink this brand of water the most!"
Several people advertised to the sponsor and came to the vendor, the female vendor was wrapped in a headscarf, fair complexion, and looked gentle and virtuous, while the male vendor was tiger-headed and looked very simple, both of them were smiling, and the smile made people feel very cordial.
If Zhou Min was here, he would definitely immediately lose his voice and shout, telling Xiaobao that they must not be fooled, and run as far as they wanted.
If both the hammer and the tiger's head can be called gentle and rustic, it is better to convince him that the sow will go up the tree!
At this time, the officials in front stopped the camel procession and let the camels lie down to rest. Yang Xiuwen got off the camel, ran quickly to the two of them, looked at the fruit in the basket and swallowed his saliva, and said pitifully: "Can I taste it?"
Tie Jingming took out a bunch of grapes and handed it to her, and said with a smile, "I gave it to you." ”
Yang Xiuwen took the grape in surprise and said, "Thank you, sister, you are so good!" As she spoke, she picked a grape and put it in her mouth, her sweet eyes narrowed.
At this time, Xiaobao also came over and said, "How do you sell your water?"
Guo Donglai shook his head and said: "Don't sell, the rule here is barter, you have to exchange things for things." Because the Silk Road was full of merchants, the goods had to change hands several times before they could get what they wanted and bring them back. ”
Xiaobao looked at the goods on the camel, glanced at a few people around him, suddenly rolled his eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "Let's exchange Xiuwen for this beautiful woman next to me!"
