Seeing Chi Hai and the others leave, I turned my head to look at the family.

What surprised me was that the old man suddenly turned his head to look at me, and met my eyes, yes, he had been looking at the sheep stupidly, and suddenly turned his head to look at me, which really startled me.

"Grandpa, why are you staring at me like that?" I asked him in a whisper.

"Camel!" the old man repeated two more words.

"What camel?" I asked, following his words.

"Camels. The old man would have nothing else but that.

Then I turned to look at the middle-aged couple, and I smiled at them, and I said, "I'm going to bother tonight, and we'll stay at your house." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go and prepare food for you. The middle-aged man said happily.

"No, we've all eaten. "I said, although I didn't eat it, I was afraid that what he cooked wouldn't fit me, because I wanted to eat blood, and Yuelan didn't need to eat it.

"Oh, then I'll go and make your beds. The middle-aged man's wife said.

"Okay, thank you. ”

Then the middle-aged man's wife went down, and I turned to the middle-aged man and asked, "Let me ask you, there is no grass over there at all in Lop Nur, why is your father looking for sheep to find there?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, and then said: "This is not far from Lop Nur, many years ago, when my father was young, when there was still grass there, he went there to herd sheep, and then there was no way to herd sheep, in the nineties, my father raised camels and led the expedition into Lop Nur." ”

"Raising camels?" I was taken aback, there was such a relationship.

"Yes, make money to support your family, at that time, many people came to Lop Nur for expeditions, and if they needed guides, my father raised camels and led the expedition into Lop Nur. The middle-aged man said.

"Then why didn't you do it later?" I asked.

Later, the wild camel reserve was established, and he didn't let people enter, and he didn't let my father lead the team in, and he was reluctant to sell the camels to others, after all, he had feelings, so he released the camels into the wild camel reserve, and he said that it was the camel's home. The middle-aged man turned to his father and said, "So he often goes to the sign in the wild camel sanctuary to wait, and he says that maybe one day, his camels will come back to see him." ”

"I see?" Yuelan and I glanced at each other, daring to love this is the case, no wonder the old man would run there.

"Come in, it's warm and it's dark. "The middle-aged man greeted us inside.

After entering, I found that there was still a strong smell of mutton, and then the room was not very spacious, and his wife set up a temporary bed for us in a corner of the living room, with two benches below and a few planks on it, and then a quilt on it, and a quilt on it, and the bed came out.

"You're going to sleep here today, it's small, I'm sorry. The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"It's okay, you're welcome. ”

"This quilt is all new, and the quilt just made this year, our cotton in Xinjiang, is very warm. The middle-aged man added.

"Okay, thanks. We didn't focus on that, I digressed the subject and said, "Can you tell us about your father's camel breeding and taking the expedition into Lop Nur, and did you have any new or strange things in those years?"

"Novelty, strange thing?" the middle-aged man thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "My father didn't tell me much, but he told me that there are a lot of camels in the Wild Camel Nature Reserve, and he knows where this group of camels gathers, and he didn't tell anyone, for fear that others would catch the camels and sell them." ”

"Where wild camels gather, is there anything new?" I was immediately interested.

"Once, when there was a sandstorm, my father's camel team suddenly did not obey the call, and took my father all the way to the place where the wild camels gathered, and he said that he was startled, and he had never seen more than a hundred wild camels gathered together, and these wild camels were all facing a wind-eroded castle, and the castle was shaped like a huge camel, and the camel's posture seemed to be about to fly to the sky, and all the wild camels bowed down to the statue of the wind-eroded camel. The middle-aged man said colorfully.

"Wind Erosion Camel Statue?" I looked at the middle-aged man dumbfounded, and I said, "Have you been there?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "No, my father didn't tell anyone, let alone take someone there, and it was a stormy weather, the camels were galloping away, and he didn't know the way, and when he came out later, he had some impressions, but he didn't tell me where it was, just told me the approximate location." ”

"Is there a map?" I said, "When your father used to lead the team, he must have had a map, and he probably marked it on the map." ”

"What are you going to do?" the middle-aged man looked at me in surprise, and he said, "My father won't let me tell anyone, camels are more important than his life, and he won't allow anyone to catch wild camels." ”

"First of all, we are soldiers, we are people of the country, and we have established nature reserves to protect camels, and our mission is to protect wild camels, and we will definitely not catch them. I swore by him, "It is impossible for us to hurt them, and that your father has become like this, don't you want him to get better?

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was a little moved, he looked at his father, his father was still dumbfounded, and he said, "Dad, I will tell them the location of the camel statue, is it okay?"

"Camels. The old man said the word camel again.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, pondered for a while, and said with a bitter face: "My father has been a camel companion all his life, and now he is thinking about camels all his life, okay, I will tell you the general area, I hope you can really find out the cause and cure my father's illness." ”

Then the middle-aged man entered the room and dragged out a dark red leather box from it, with a thick layer of dust on the box, which should have been hidden under the bed, and had not been opened for a long time.

The middle-aged man blew a breath, and the dust was all over the sky, and then he opened the box, which contained a lot of things, and what caught his eye was a Xinjiang knife, and there were gems on it, which was very beautiful, and then there was a leather suit, a leather hat, and a few books, as well as a pistol, a military kettle, and a folded map.

The middle-aged man quickly took out the map and quickly covered the box, probably afraid that we would see the pistol, but in fact we had already seen it.

But we didn't say anything, he spread out the map, a very old map, the creases on it were yellowed.
