"With you as our guide, we are a little more sure, but I don't know how you collect this honorarium?" Although Bai Yuchan was very grateful to the other party at this time, Bai Yuchan was still clear about the rules about camel riders in this regard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Camel riders are a unique group of people in eastern Xinjiang. Each of them has their own legend, practicing martial arts and refining their bodies on weekdays, and they are inextricably linked with the Northwest swordsmen. In ancient times, in order to make a living, in order to obtain more economic benefits, and trade balance, many people needed to transport things from the Central Plains to Central Asia, Persia and other regions, but in the vast desert, ordinary people could not get out at all, let alone carry tons of living creatures.
The camel rider is a product of this natural trade. Many of them are equipped with unique skills, and they are all indigenous people living in the desert, they have a deep understanding of the desert Gobi, and they have been rolling and crawling in the desert for many years, so that they have developed a special ability, which can predict what is about to happen in the desert in advance through many subtleties, such as wind and sand, black storms, etc.
With the development of society, the rapid development of modern means of transportation, camel riders have been very rare, but just like the fox said, many young people in the modern metropolis in order to pursue excitement and freshness, etc., thousands of miles to the desert is to see the spectacular scene of "the desert is lonely, the sun sets over the long river", and this also makes many camel riders on the verge of changing careers have new hope and busyness.
Of course, there is a difference between them and the professional search and rescue teams in the mainland, they have to save people depending on the weather, and even the auspicious days of the zodiac, otherwise even if you give them more money, they may directly refuse.
Because they know the mystery and cruelty of the desert, their ancestors have passed it down from generation to generation, and many stories have been dressed in a mysterious coat, which makes these camel riders more in awe of the desert.
Therefore, Bai Yuchan knows this, of course, it is one thing for others to help you, and it is another thing to charge for it.
"Several, I think you decided to help you for the sake of saving people, and you can just pay this fee. In fact, I don't care, no matter how much money is cheap in front of human life. The fox said, his indifferent expression revealing the characteristic color of the camel rider.
As camel riders who deal with the desert all day long, they have really seen through money a long time ago, and the apocalyptic scene of the black storm will directly change people's worldview and values.
Just like the former generation of kung fu superstar Li Jielian, after experiencing the tsunami in Indonesia, he decided to launch the One Dollar Foundation, which is such a reason.
"Alright then, this one for you." Bai Yuchan took out a talisman from his pocket and solemnly handed it to the fox.
"What is this?" Obviously, the fox had some doubts about this ordinary piece of yellow paper, which was no longer in an ordinary piece of yellow paper, and there were ghost-like divine secret texts drawn on it.
"This is a talisman, it has been opened, you often walk around in the desert, it is inevitable that you will encounter some unclean things, it can keep you safe." Bai Yuchan spoke.
"It's too valuable." Although the fox said that it was too valuable, it was too precious, but his hands took it directly, for fear that Bai Yuchan would regret it.
"With this amulet, there is no need to carry that wolf tooth on your body." Bai Yuchan then suddenly said something very unexpected.
"What's wrong with this wolf's fang?" At this time, the fox heard Bai Yuchan say that he had wolf teeth on his body, and immediately asked in surprise.
"Your wolf tooth should have some origin, but it doesn't suit you, put it away and don't wear it on your body." Bai Yuchan looked at the fox who still wanted to ask, and didn't explain much.
"Okay." The fox said, removing the wolf tooth from his neck that he had been wearing for more than ten years.
The wolf's fangs were very sharp, and under the dim lantern underground, they shone faintly, and they were as white as if they had just died. The fox took out a piece of red cloth, carefully wrapped the wolf's teeth, and stuffed it into a secret passage next to it.
Bai Yuchan had actually noticed the somewhat dark aura on this fox for a long time, according to common sense, people who were often active in the desert would have a dry and withered breath on their bodies, so Bai Yuchan felt that this guy was a little abnormal for the first time.
When he looked closely, he found that it was the breath of the wolf's fang, and the wolf's tooth could invisibly exude the breath that affected a person, which showed that this was definitely not an ordinary wolf's tooth.
Wolves are the most ferocious and tyrannical animals in nature, and they are also the most insidious animals, and they generally live in the shadows. And the sharpest and most ferocious thing on the wolf's body is the wolf's teeth, so the wolf's teeth condense the killing and sins of the wolf's life.
Let's ask, what kind of consequences will be if such a thing is worn on the body, I think you should know it.
Although some people believe that there is an ethnic group in China, the Mongols, have the habit of wearing wolf teeth. But according to scientific research, that is absolutely nonsense. As a people who believe in the "wolf" as the god of the steppe, how can they wear the teeth of the gods?
Bai Yuchan didn't ask much about the origin of the wolf's fangs, and the fox obviously didn't want to explain more.
"The wind outside should have stopped, let's go out and have a look." Bai Yuchan proposed.
"I'd better go." As the owner of this place, the fox can't let the guests take such a risk, after all, if the black storm has not passed, it is very dangerous to go out to investigate rashly.
It's just that the fox didn't remove the stake above his head, but slowly opened a small window from the side of the cave wall, and then took out a small flag from the corner of the wall, and then directly raised the small flag.
After about two minutes, the fox took the little flag back, and then looked at it with all seriousness, and then said with certainty: "The storm has passed, and we can go out." ”
"Whirring ......"
Several people jumped out of the underground pit, everything in front of them has changed, the original poplar forest, at this moment has become unrecognizable, like bandits crossing the border, a mess, many bowls of thick poplar forests are staggered at this time, many branches are broken, some have been blown off, and some are directly uprooted.
"This black storm is too terrifying......" Li Lao saw the mess in front of him at this time, and his old face suddenly became a little worried.
"It's good that the tree didn't run away, otherwise we'd be in trouble." The fox patted the vigorous and powerful poplar and said with emotion.
"Brother Fox is really ingenious, he actually built the cave under this hundred-year-old tree." Bai Yuchan had already seen the mystery of the cave, otherwise it would not be easy to do it in this desert.
The desert is suddenly very soft, and it is really a bit strange to build an underground cave, but it is another matter to build it under a tree, the poplar root system is developed, it can condense all the soil together, and it can also condense water, and when the ground temperature is sixty or seventy degrees, there may be more than twenty degrees below. For such a creativity, even Bai Yuchan admired it a little.
"These are the lessons that our desert ancestors have learned, once the black storm comes, only the basement is safe, and everything on the ground is dangerous." The fox smiled and said.
"This storm has passed, you wait for me to prepare, and then let's go." After the fox finished speaking, he jumped into the cave again, he had to prepare if he wanted to go out, after all, he couldn't be like Bai Yuchan and the others.
After less than a quarter of an hour, the fox jumped straight out, carrying an oversized backpack on his back, of course.
"Hey...... The mortal world is really a bit troublesome, and it's really inconvenient to be surrounded by so many things. Bai Yuchan looked at the fox's oversized backpack and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Woo ......"
Just after the fox jumped out, he patted the dirt on his body, but he whistled, and the whistle was loud and penetrating.
"Whew......"
Just before the whistle could be heard, a camel's cry sounded in the poplar forest not far away, and there was a slight excitement in the cry.
"Hey, isn't that the camel?" Bai Yuchan could see clearly at this time, most of the entire camel's body was buried in the sand, and when he stood up at this time, there was a sand pit, it seemed that the camel was really suitable for survival in the desert, and such a big black storm couldn't help it.
"The nearest way to the Tianshan Mountains is through this desert. Although this desert is not too big, it has a resounding name - 'Sea of Death'. As he spoke, the fox pulled out the hand-drawn map, which was marked with many green and red dots, and even black dots, which he could obviously only recognize and understand.
"Sea of Death......" When Bai Yuchan heard this name, he immediately had a bad premonition, as if something was about to happen in the desert.
