The remnant sun at the end of the sky was like blood, and the hoof prints of several camels in the desert flew and rolled up a cloud of sand, jumping down from a 100-meter-high sand dune.

There were only eight knights with veils covering their faces on their camels, shouting and driving the camels to trot to a small piece of desert sand under the dunes, where there were all kinds of desert shrubs and herbaceous plants that the knights were familiar with, and the most conspicuous were two date palms that were only about ten meters high because of the harsh environment, and there were many low plants for camels to eat.

A few camels quickly descended to the low sand, and one of the knights, who was sturdy, sharp-eyed, and dressed in a gray robe, suddenly grabbed the reins, and shouted loudly and heartily in Arabic with a mouth covered by a veil: "The tent is encamped, the anchors are deeper, it seems that there will be a strong wind tonight, and I don't want to get up in the middle of the night and find that the tent is gone, and I am sleeping in the sand, so I have to work harder!" ”

"Fahad, maybe it's who sleeps in the sand with a bare ass, and your ass and balls are actually nothing to look at, in fact, it's almost the same as a shaved camel's ass, it's the same round and bulging like a pear, I'm right, I've all seen it, a big old man wakes up with a bare ass and finds that the tent has been blown over, this kind of experience is not something anyone can encounter"

Isabel, dressed in the off-white uniform of the expedition, jumped off the camel's back in a hurry before the camel knelt down on its front legs and lay prone on the sand, and lifted the veil to cover her head, and the soles of the sandals on her feet sank into the sand together with her ankles.

The female leader of the Tuareg tribe is really in good shape, and the wide robe can't hide her graceful figure, Isabel sometimes thinks how good it would be if she were a man, this Eliham may have a chance to embrace Ga, it's a pity!

As Isabel spoke, several knights around her shouted at the camel to kneel down and lie prone on the sand on its front legs, even Fahad, who had just been teased by Isabel for speaking.

The desert people have their own set of ways of living in the desert, Isabel is not a member of the Oasis tribe, the inherent habits and customs do not have much restraint on her, and the open-minded knight is too lazy to do what to do with her, and what Isabel just said is actually a funny way between brothers and sisters, a way to identify with the tribe, the leader Farhad didn't say anything, let alone the tribal warriors next to him.

"There are a few cobras in this place, they are the kind of adults who have become adults, and they are very poisonous, everyone should be careful, does anyone want to eat roast snake meat?"

Song Xiaoshuang, who was dressed in a long robe, waited unhurriedly for the camel to lie prone on the sand, and then stepped on the soft sand with his sandal-wearing feet, and like Isabel, he pulled the gauze towel covering his face and the wind and sand behind his head, and talked while walking in front of a few dwarf bushes.

Song Xiaoshuang didn't understand Isabel's Arabic just now, but judging from her rich body language, Song Xiaoshuang estimated that she might be saying that Fahad's tent was half blown open by the wind in the morning, and she got up early to get out of the tent and went to the two women who put water behind the sand pile, Isabel and Eliham, and found that Fahad Chiguoguo was sleeping on a velvet blanket.

The whole scout team soon found out about it. At first, Farhad quibbled that it was too hot, but then simply remained silent on the matter. Song Xiaoshuang felt that even a female man like Isabel was sometimes very funny, but it was really hard to walk through the desert, and this plan was originally the rhythm of death, Isabel was just using this to release the hidden pressure in her heart, Song Xiaoshuang easily understood her.

Hearing Song Xiaoshuang say poisonous snakes, Farhad whispered a few words in Tuareg to the four tribal warriors who covered their faces with scarves behind him, and after seeing them neatly lead all the camels to the side of the open space, Farhad walked a few steps and looked at Song Xiaoshuang and said Chinese: "Camels still have to eat bushes, branches and grass, this place is not big, there is no way, they will come back if they take away the snakes, insect repellent drugs sometimes fail, Song Xiaoshuang, what do you think?" ”

"If that's all it takes, it's that no one eats snake meat!"

Song Xiaoshuang walked into the low bushes while speaking, and when a few people nearby had not come to their senses, they saw a few black cobras shining with black light, as if they had encountered a king cobra, they quickly came out from behind the bushes and grass where they were hiding, twisted their bodies and quickly crawled to the low sand dunes dozens of meters away.

Isabel was not surprised at all, as a mysterious wizard, Song Xiaoshuang had performed a similar scene in front of her telescope lens, ignoring the surprised and inexplicable eyes of others, walked to a camel, took out a satellite phone from the backpack tied to the saddle belt, and turned around and walked to the high place of the sand pile on the side after signaling that she had something to do.

Farhad could only shrug slightly, it was time for Isabel to contact her at the Atal base camp again, Farhad turned his head and ordered the tribal warriors to set up tents, he had to discuss with Eliham and Song Xiaoshuang what to eat for dinner.

In fact, there was no need to discuss anything, because Song Xiaoshuang was already standing in the sand pile of the bushes, raising the underground tuber of a plant the size of a fist in his hand.

This thing is one of the food sources that desert jerboa likes to eat, rich in a certain amount of starch, this plant that grows in the harsh desert underground tubers are slightly toxic when eaten raw, and after being roasted with fire, the toxicity will disappear but will become very delicious.

Song Xiaoshuang, who quickly got used to life in the desert, of course knew that a small piece of shrubs and grass that could inhabit a few cobras could not feed a few cobras on weekdays. What attracts desert jerboa is, of course, a food source that is extremely attractive!

When Song Xiaoshuang slightly released the bloody aura and scared away the cobra, he had already found the first underground tuber, that is, buried more than ten centimeters under the sand mound! With the opening and hanging mode of mental power exploration, Song Xiaoshuang of course knew the location of the underground tubers, and the palm of his hand sent out an energetic energy to hit the sand pile, and after the sand and dust were splashed, a tuber like cassava flew up obliquely, and was naturally grabbed by Song Xiaoshuang.

But his movements were blocked by shrub branches and grass, and the others only noticed that an edible plant tuber appeared in his hand, and they were really a little ignorant that he could get it so quickly.

Seeing that the tubers in Song Xiao's hands quickly grew from one to two, and then to many, the tribal warriors who were busy setting up tents and letting camels eat bushes and leaves, their eyes were round, and they couldn't understand how this wizard from the East could recognize him so accurately?

The above-ground vines of this tuber are very short, but the water-absorbing roots that extend under the sandy soil are dozens of meters long, and in which section of the underground root of such a long tuber will produce a bulky tuber, the aborigines who live in the desert all year round have no spectrum in their hearts, only the extremely sensitive sense of smell of the desert jerboa can smell the faint smell of the tuber, could it be that this wizard has a super sensitive nose?

Song Xiaoshuang's hands were full of sand and dust, holding more than a dozen tubers of different sizes, walked out of the bushes, looked at Eliham who was busy setting up the tent together, and said with a light smile on his face: "Okay, Eliham, the tent is handled by tribal warriors, go find some dry bush branches, we will eat this tonight, one person and two are enough, do you think Harder is looking for dead branches, this is like a low-key tribal leader, isn't it, Brother Farhad?" ”

Eliham still had a hard time getting used to Song Xiaoshuang's sometimes funny behavior, hearing that Song Xiaoshuang said at the end to Fahad who was picking up bush branches on the sand, and Fahad also responded, Eliham shook his head and glanced at Song Xiaoshuang, or according to Song Xiaoshuang's request to pick up dry and wind-blown bush branches.

Eliham thought to herself: Song Xiaoshuang is really special, he looks ordinary but is very good at "making trouble", no wonder Isabelle, who slept in a tent last night, wanted to kick Song Xiaoshuang's ass in her sleep!

By the campfire next to the tent, a few people sat upwind, their veils were lifted behind their heads, eating steaming macaroni boiled in an open enamel cup, drinking the tribe's home-brewed fruit wine in the military flat kettle, chatting with a low voice but a good atmosphere, and there was not much macaroni (you had to fold a short wooden stick to get it to your mouth), because the staple food of the evening was the tubers buried in the sand by the campfire.

A faint smell similar to roasted cassava made Isabel's nose flutter slightly, and she quickly pulled a tuber from the sand by the fire with a stick, and a fist-sized tuber that had been roasted by the campfire was pulled out of the sand.

Isabel's eyes lit up, and before others could react, she had already pulled the tuber in front of her with a wooden stick, held the tuber in her hands alternately and blew it with both hands, shook off the sand on the outer skin, broke it in two with both hands, and handed the steaming part to Eliham who was drawing various lines in the sand with a wooden stick next to her.

Isabel turned her head to stare at Song Xiaoshuang, who was pulling macaroni into her mouth with a wooden stick, and shouted in Chinese excitedly: "How about it, Song Xiaoshuang, this time I won, I was the first person to find that the tuber was ripe, we said that if we lost, we would only eat one roasted tuber, I want to change the way to play, you have to let me go with me when I go out to practice late at night!" ”

This woman, don't forget to explore my secrets, secrets sometimes know too much can be a burden, have said many times that I am not a wizard, just a little wizard-like skills, Isabel is too smart to believe it at all, saying that her research topic is ancient religion and witchcraft culture, to use a small recording device to shoot it all, how can this be done Some things cannot be let others know!

Song Xiaoshuang's mind flashed, put the short wooden stick in the enamel cup, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and swept his eyes over the tubers buried next to the fire with wooden sticks.

Song Xiaoshuang's expression was a little helpless, and he said in a low voice: "It's okay, don't bring any small recording equipment with you, don't have a runny nose when it's very cold in the desert late at night." ”

Seeing Isabel nodding like pounding garlic, a bit of kindness, Song Xiaoshuang drank the leftover soup from eating macaroni in the enamel cup in a few bites, and quickly pulled out a roasted tuber from the sand in front of Fahad with a wooden stick, Song Xiaoshuang directly ignored it, with a bearded face and an expression that Fahad's eyes were about to fall off with a wooden stick in his hand, he held the hot tuber in the palm of his hand and blew it and handed it to Eliham, causing Eliham to open his mouth and laugh.

After finding that the effect of enlivening the atmosphere was achieved, Song Xiaoshuang continued: "Isabel, we rushed to the border refugee camp to reconnoiter and find out the situation and the camera to rescue the people inside, the danger is extremely high, I want to know how you explained the situation to Wu Dai and Emina, whether the exclusive office has arranged the next stage of the investigation mission for you in the near future, I think we will not have the opportunity to use the satellite phone again at this time tomorrow, because by then we have rushed to the vicinity of the refugee camp, and we must keep the communication silent, Otherwise, something will go wrong! ”

Hearing Song Xiaoshuang say this, Isabel also said very seriously: "Yesterday afternoon, before we set off from the tribe, I used the satellite phone after turning on to contact Udai and Emina, and the exclusive office in France did not send a new expedition mission order, so from the previous work experience, now my expedition team in Attar is on vacation, and I contacted Udai again at dusk, and the situation is still the same, Udai just knew that we repelled a plot by desert robbers to attack the Oasis tribe, well, You know what I told Udai Maijid that he was a tribal scout, and I told her I was going to stay in the tribe for a few more days, not knowing that we had set off for the camp. ”

After Song Xiaoshuang asked about the situation, he said a little funny: "Madam, if you don't do it again, there will be no more delicious food!" ”

Hearing what Song Xiaoshuang said, Isabel hurriedly pulled it in the sand next to the fire with a wooden stick, just pulled out two tubers the size of potatoes, Isabel roared: "Damn Song Xiaoshuang, you have to pay me a big one, the same size as the one in Eliham's hand"
