Chapter 355: Rent a camel at a high price
"I am a messenger of the underworld, shouldering the responsibility of all beings in the underworld, if I don't go back, who will take care of the safety of the underworld? I am by no means such a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
Yue Han's words were firm, and suddenly, it seemed that he had returned to the moment ten thousand years ago, when he and Xie Bi'an joined hands side by side and shared foreign enemies.
"Oops...... Can you save a little...... Behold, your brain is Watt. With your three-legged cat's kung fu, Lord Bai reluctantly helped you to the position of black impermanence, do you really think of yourself as Lord Fan who was admired by thousands of people back then?"
The shrimp and crab shook his head in disgust, but he didn't know that Yue Han, who was standing in front of him, was in his mouth, the Fan who was admired ten thousand years ago, Master Fan.
It's just that Yue Han can't reveal his identity yet.
Yue Han also had no intention of arguing. The less shrimp and crabs know, the less it is necessarily a bad thing for shrimp and crabs. At that time, if Lord Hades really investigates it, he may also be able to ask for his life to be spared on the grounds that the shrimp and crab did not know.
"People are coming, don't talk about those useless ones, beware of scaring the old people!"
The shrimp crab suddenly heard a slow and procrastinating sound, listened carefully with bated breath, and hurriedly 'shh
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw the door of the small thatched hut, and with a 'squeak' was pushed open, and an old man with a cane and a haggard face inside shook out slowly with a large cigarette pouch in his mouth.
Seeing Yue Han and the shrimp and crab, the tired eyes suddenly lit up, half of his body leaned against the door, and the sound suddenly came into the ears of Yue Han and the shrimp and crab.
"Rent my camel?"
"Yes, old man, you see, otherwise we can't get in or out of this vast sea of sand, right?"
Shrimp and crabs are good at dealing with people, no matter who they talk to, they seem to have a feeling of natural familiarity, at this moment, and the old man said politely, his hands can't help but start to rub secretly, it seems that it is inevitable.
The old man took a big cigarette pouch in his mouth, slowly stuffed it into his mouth, took a deep breath, squinted his eyes, spit out a puff of smoke in enjoyment, raised his hand, and gestured five fingers.
"Fifty ???"
The shrimp crab's eyes flashed with anticipation, and his tone became excited.
"Five hundred!"
The old man pursed his lips, his voice suddenly raised an octave, and he looked like a fool, and glanced at the shrimp and crab with disgust.
"What!?Why is it so expensive!?I still want to rent two horses!?"
The shrimp and crab were shocked by the price, and their voices were unconsciously much higher than just now. Who knew that the old man showed no mercy at all, waved his hand, and said in a firm tone:
"Two horses and one thousand, don't rent and get out!"
Damn it...... The price of goods in this world is the height of real Nima! He worked tirelessly for several months before he saved less than 2,000 yuan.
The shrimp and crab wanted to say something, but the old man didn't seem to have the patience to continue listening to the shrimp and crab, took a puff of the cigarette pouch, and said sarcastically with disgust:
"If you don't have money to travel, it's better to take it at home and be embarrassed!"
"Hey, no, how do you ......"
The shrimp and crab were aggrieved, and he was dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but Yue Han on the side hurriedly took the hand of the shrimp and crab, shook his head, and signaled him not to talk nonsense, so as not to anger this old man, and when the time comes, he will not rent a camel to them, which will be even more troublesome.
"Uncle, let's rent one. ”
The old man was very happy, after listening to what Yue Han said, he quickly turned around, stood still in front of Yue Han, stretched out his hand angrily, tilted his head to look at Yue Han, and stared at him vigorously, which was completely different from the tired state just now, Yue Han even wondered for a while that this old man had some schizophrenia or something.
The old man pressed step by step, and the shrimp and crab had no choice but to take the money out of his pocket and hand it to the old man. The old man quickly took it, spit on his fingers, counted the money, nodded with satisfaction, took out a camel from the backyard, and stuffed the rope into Yue Han's hand.
"I'm just giving you one day, and at this time tomorrow, you have to send it back to me, otherwise you will have to add a delay fee!"
"Oh, I'm going to this dead old man, I'm better than I can see money!? If it weren't for his old bones, I would have to let him taste the power of my little cannon fist!"
The shrimp and crab couldn't be angry, but they didn't dare to say it in front of the old man, so they had to attach it to Yue Han's ear angrily, and gritted his teeth in a low voice.
"Alright, let's go. ”
Yue Han and the shrimp and crab led the camel and entered the vast desert. At that time, the sun was poisonous, and Rao is camels couldn't bear it, let alone Yue Han and shrimp and crabs. The two of them rushed for less than half a day, and they were tired and out of breath, found a small mountain bag with a shady back, and sat down to rest.
"Oh, I'll go...... Tell me why we two people from the underworld have to go to the sun in this yang world to live and suffer! Although there is no mortal danger, we can't be exposed to the sun for a long time, in case there are any side effects!"
The underworld is dark, and even if there is light, it is a fake sun created by the king of the underworld for the sake of all beings in the underworld. It's like an electric light.
Although they are people from the underworld, after the foundation is built, they are no different from the living people in the yang world. I can't stand the scorching sun.
"Rest here, wait a little and then go. ”
Yue Han took out two bottles of water from his bag and handed one to the shrimp and crab. Then he took out the bag that the old man had given him, and took out some food, and put it to the camel's mouth.
"I see, maybe there's something wrong with the map!
The shrimp and crab instantly fell into despair, and the meaning of retreat was very obvious. It's just that he is still embarrassed to say this now, after all, Yue Han's belief is still very firm, even if he says it, Yue Han will not agree.
"Perhaps...... It's that we didn't find the right way. ”
Yue Han fell into deep thought.
The two of them rested in the shade until the afternoon, and finally the sun was blocked by a few clouds, and the two of them felt better. It's just a long journey, very tired, this camel is an old camel, and it can't move Yue Han and shrimp and crab at all, so the two of them can only lead the camel below, and rest on the camel's back, changing shifts back and forth from time to time, and they can barely walk more than half of the way.
"How long will it take for us to get there......"
