Chapter 197, the caravan accompanied
During the night, several bonfires were lit in the desert, and the caravan had found a temporary base to the south, a small oasis where the merchants unloaded their goods and kept the camels well fed.
During desert travel, camels generally eat very little, and their humps store a lot of fat enough to consume during their journeys.
Beside the largest bonfire in the middle, Uncle Amu asked the gray-clothed young man next to him, "Isn't that person awake yet?" ”
During the day, the young men of the caravan brought the man who had climbed over the dunes to the caravan, and by that time the rescued man was already unconscious, and they found that although the rescued man was in rags, dusty, and had a lot of blood on his clothes, he had a very strong breath of life, especially his face was very young, smaller than most of the young people in the caravan.
No one knew who he was or how he had climbed the dunes alone, and the other merchants didn't want to meddle with it, but Uncle Amu finally insisted that he stay in the caravan.
The gray-clothed young man shook his head, "I don't know, it's Uyigul who is taking care of him now." What a lucky guy. The gray-clothed young man added in a whisper.
Although Uyigul is not the most beautiful of the girls in the same class, she is definitely the most gentle and virtuous one, and the young man in gray has a good impression of her.
Uncle Amu glanced at the gray-clothed young man with a smile, did not speak, just looked at the fire attentively, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, in the caravan's tent, a girl in blue was carefully wiping the dust off the face of the rescued young man.
The girl in blue is Uygul, 16 years old, but according to the rules of the inhabitants of the desert, she is of marriageable age. This time, Uyigur happened to follow the caravan to go out on a blind date and come back, if she liked the man, she could notify her parents when she went back, let her parents reply to the man, and then the man could make a dowry, and she could marry.
This is the rule for young girls in the desert to marry, and it has been the case for generations.
After wiping the dust off the young man's face, Uygul found that the young man was very good-looking, he did not look like a man from this side of the desert, and his skin was not as dark as that of a boy in the desert.
This was the first time Uyigul had seen a boy outside the desert, she felt a little curious, looking at the white face of the young man in the coma, she couldn't help but touch it lightly with her fingers, "It's so slippery, smoother than my skin, how did he do it?" ”
Just when Uyigul was curiously widening his eyes and observing, suddenly, the young man in a coma sat up suddenly, and his body suddenly exuded a violent momentum, which rose to the sky, and Uyigul was immediately frightened by him and sat on the ground, and the camels outside the tent suddenly screamed in fright, and some camels even wanted to break free from the reins and escape from the camp.
The caravan was in chaos, and the merchants, not knowing what was happening, rushed from the campfire to their goods to avoid being trampled by the panicked camels.
Lin Wuwu's memory was still retained in the previous fight with the desert scorpion group, and he just subconsciously released his momentum and made a defensive posture just now.
After killing the black python before, Lin Wuwu went all the way south, but he didn't expect him to embark on a difficult and bumpy road.
During the two-day trip, he not only encountered the most terrible sandstorm in the desert, but also encountered the wolves again, but this time the wolves were only forty or fifty desert wolves, and he finally escaped, but he didn't expect that after he accidentally broke into the poisonous snake den, Lin Wuwu was almost bitten to death by hundreds of poisonous snakes, if it wasn't for the critical moment he took out the python's head of the black python and drove away the poisonous snake group, he may have died in the poisonous snake den.
After exhausting his true qi, Lin Wuwu finally managed to kill a bloody road, and then he ran wildly until he was unconscious, and then he stopped running wildly, and then he was saved by a passing caravan by chance.
Wuyigul was so frightened by Lin Wuwu's momentum that he screamed, this scream brought Lin Wuwu's mind back to reality, when he found himself in a human tent, and there was a young girl lying on the ground next to him, he immediately realized that he had been rescued, and just now he seemed to overreact, scaring the savior.
Lin Wuwu hurriedly put away the momentum on his body, "I'm sorry to scare you, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it just now." Lin Wuwu hurriedly helped Wuyigul up.
Seeing that Lin Wuwu had returned to normal, the fear in his heart was immediately relieved, and then seeing the embarrassed expression on his face, his expression eased, and then chuckled, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry too much, you didn't mean it just now, I forgive you." ”
Next, Wuyigul told Lin Wuwu about the rescue process, although Wuyigur did not see it with her own eyes when Lin Wuwu was rescued, she also heard that Lin Wuwu might be a traveler who crossed the sand dunes, and she was immediately full of curiosity about him.
In the hearts of desert people, they are full of awe of the desert, but also full of desire to conquer, for Lin Wuwu, a person who may have crossed the sand dunes, every desert person will be interested in him.
Next, Uyigul walked out of the tent with Lin Wuwu and introduced him to everyone in the caravan.
After a warm welcome from the desert people, Lin Wuwu sat down by the largest bonfire in the middle, ate hot barbecue, and drank sweet mare's milk.
While Lin Wuwu was eating, Uncle Amu asked curiously, "Young man, who are you?" How did you end up on the other side of the dunes? Don't you know that the sand dunes are full of dangers? ”
Hearing Uncle Amu's question, there was a sudden silence all around, and everyone pricked up their ears, they all wanted to witness with their own ears whether Lin Wuwu really crossed the sand dunes, after all, if he really did it, then he would be the first person in modern times to successfully cross the dangerous area of the sand dunes, and his name would be recorded in the history of the desert people.
Lin Wuwu didn't understand why the people around him were so interested in what happened to him, but he still subconsciously concealed the truth, "Uncle, I came to the desert with the intention of going to Hotan Oasis, but because I met wolves on the way, my camel was eaten, and then I ran all the way to not know the direction at all, and finally was blown away by the strong wind, and when I finally woke up and desperately escaped from the sea of sand, I was exhausted, if I hadn't met you, I might have died in the desert." ”
Hearing that Lin Wuwu was not a person who had crossed the sand dunes, but a traveler who had been mistakenly blown in by a strong wind, many people in the caravan shook their heads regretfully, they had missed an opportunity to encounter the legend.
In the middle of the youth, a young man with eyes almost narrowed into a slit pursed his lips disdainfully, "I knew how could he be a hero who crossed the sand dunes with his little white face!" His words drew a nod of approval from several young people in the vicinity.
Uncle Amu patted Lin Wuwu's shoulder and comforted with a smile, "You are also a fortune teller, and you can still pick up a life when you encounter wolves and sandstorms, you are a lucky person who is favored by the desert." However, I still have to remind you that you can't travel alone in the future, at least find a caravan to accompany you, so that you can have a care. ”
After a pause, he added, "Since you are going to the Hotan Oasis, we are also on the same road, the village of Wuyigul is only two hours away from the Hotan Oasis, and we are just about to send her back to the village." Then you can come with us, at least we can guarantee to escort you to the safety of the village. ”
"Thank you, uncle."
Lin Wuwu had this intention, he encountered danger before because he deviated from the right trade route, and now that he is back on the right path, he should not encounter such a dangerous place in the future. When he arrives in the village in the desert, Lin Wuwu can buy another camel, and the future should be calmer.
After recognizing Lin Wuwu's identity, most of the people in the caravan had lost interest in Lin Wuwu, and only a few girls were very interested in Lin Wuwu, and they invited Lin Wuwu to their campfire to ask about the situation outside.
Everyone was about the same age, and Lin Wuwu picked out some interesting things to tell them, which caused these little girls who had almost no chance to see the outside world to let out bursts of cheers from time to time, and the campfire was full of joyful laughter.
Just when Lin Wuwu was talking, suddenly, squinting eyes came over, and he glared at Lin Wuwu, "Hey, it's late, you're not tired, Zhuoma and the others should be tired too, they should go back to rest." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Wuwu to answer, he smiled and said attentively to Zhuoma, the most beautiful among the girls, "Zhuoma, you are also tired for a day, hurry up and go back to rest." If you want to hear stories from outside, I'll tell you tomorrow, I know a lot of new and interesting things. ”
At this time, it was indeed not early, and the girls stood up embarrassedly, and they smiled at Lin Wuwu, "I'm sorry to bother you so late, can we continue to listen to you tell interesting stories tomorrow?" ”
Squinting and seeing that Zhuoma and the others ignored his stubble, he suddenly paused in embarrassment.
Lin Wuwu could see at a glance that Squint Eyes was interesting to Zhuoma, he was completely jealous of himself by doing this, but after all, he was just a passerby, so there was no need to argue with him, he smiled and said, "You like to hear it, you can come to me at any time before I leave." ”
"Great, thank you." The girls left rejoicing.
Lin Wuwu turned around and smiled kindly at Squinting Eyes, but he snorted coldly and turned to leave, making Lin Wuwu depressed, "Damn, as for it?" I'm not going to rob you of women. ”
Rubbing his nose helplessly, Lin Wuwu casually found a place to lean on and rested
