Chapter 10: Desert Escape
The rolling yellow sand, like the waves under their feet, is undulating, and it seems that only the color is different, and it is far away, expanding people's vision to the extreme.
In this world, there are only three things that can be described as the word rolling, the sea, the desert, and the red dust.
When a person, a person in the depths of the red dust fate, steps on the junction of the desert and the ocean, these three things are complete, and the irresistible rolling in becomes clearer.
The sun rises over the horizon, blinding the sand with pain.
The left hand is blue, the right hand is golden, and the bias is complementary.
It makes people feel like they have come to another time and space.
However, this silence was broken by the sound of several camel bells.
Several shepherds led the camels and walked slowly in the morning breeze, looking at the men and women who were just stepping on the shore from time to time.
These shepherds wore a very simple robe, a loose robe with bright colors and contrasting patterns, which was a very national costume.
In fact, these robes are a simplified piece of cloth, which can be worn as clothes during the day, as a quilt cover at night, and as a headscarf in the face of wind and sand.
When Jin saw the herd of camels, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted at the herd that was about to pass by, waving his arms at the same time.
In the distance, the shepherd, attracted by his voice, stopped, and said something to them in a loud voice.
Kurai didn't understand what language it was, but Kim magically understood.
Not only did he understand, but he also clearly gave the origin of this language in his mind.
This is a type of Semitic language, but strangely enough, there are many words in it that sound very similar to Huaxia.
Kim beckoned to them as he walked over to the two of them.
When he came to the shepherd, Kim also said in a very fluent flashing language:
"See that yacht? I'd like to trade it for your two camels, it's a good deal. ”
No one will not be tempted by such a beautiful yacht.
But for the herdsmen of this barren area, camels represent food, clothing, and transportation, and they cannot leave their boats, but they can leave their yachts.
So the two shepherds were torn, they liked the yacht, and at the same time they knew that they had to survive on the camels.
Several people haggled, and the two shepherds were only willing to exchange a camel for a yacht.
But Kim is well aware that it will be difficult for a camel to get them across this desert.
Yes, this desert is very narrow compared to other deserts, but it is still extremely wide for manpower.
So he rolled his eyes, pondered the strange pronunciation of the two men's language, and thought of another way of bargaining.
"Hey, you two must be from Zhenghe Village, right? ”
The two shepherds were surprised that the other party knew about such a small village, and nodded yes at the same time.
Kim put his hand on his chest and said:
"I'm from Huaxia, I need your help, without two camels, me and my... Well, my wife and daughter can't cross this desert. ”
He glanced back at Kurai and the little baby, and paused slightly, as if he was looking for a suitable identity for the two of them.
Kurai Yue seemed to be very willing to Jin's identity, and there was a sweet smile on his face.
With such an identity, trading suddenly becomes easier.
Now, not to mention two camels, even three, they will agree.
The reason is very simple, the people of their village always consider themselves to be descendants of the Chinese people, and their ancestors are Zheng He's personal soldiers.
Kim put all the useful things on the hunchback, pots and pans, black plastic sheeting for distilling water, etc.
Then I was happy to come to a "brain-dead knife" hand-made by the shepherd.
The brain-dead knife lives up to its name, because this kind of knife has no pointed tip, like a shovel, about sixty or seventy centimeters long, and has a single edge.
The effect of this thing is close to brain damage, the effect of chopping firewood is very average, and the only effect is to torture and kill prisoners of war, which is very deterrent because of cruelty.
I can't kill it for half a day, it's scary, and of course, it's even more brain-dead.
But this thing is in Jin's hands, but it is an unusual weapon, his strength is great, his speed is fast, with this knife, he dares to harden the lone lion.
Declining the enthusiasm of the two shepherds to invite them to the village for dinner, Kim took Kurai Yue and the baby to say goodbye to the two herdsmen, and walked into the long yellow sand, and soon disappeared the herdsman behind him.
Jin walked quickly, even in a hurry, which made Kurai Yue a little puzzled.
She rode between the two peaks of the camel, with a scarf made of light underwear on her head to protect her from the sun, and a sleeping baby in her arms, and asked suspiciously:
"Kim, why do you seem anxious?"
Jin rode on the other camel, and was still holding the camel that Kurai Yue was riding, urging the camel to go quickly from time to time, and when he heard Kurai Yue ask, he said:
"The villages in this area are all run by an armed army, and those people are pirates in their free time, and I fear that the Seawolf we met is the one here, and I believe that when these two shepherds come and take the yacht away, those fellows will chase us and kill us to the death.
Therefore, we must walk as fast as we can, as long as they can't catch up with us in the desert, and once we enter the plateau, we have countless ways to cover our bodies. ”
Kurai Yue understood why Jin was in such a hurry, and couldn't help kicking the camel under his hip at the moment.
The desert is unpredictable, and no one has ever been able to grasp and understand it.
So explorers who have been to the depths of the real desert sigh:
"Only those who have abandoned all hope will be willing to go into the sea of death. ”
However, the truth is always two-sided, such as Kim and Kurai Tsuki, who went into the desert because they chased hope.
And the demon of the desert, what he is best at, is to devour hope.
After more than two hours of rapid travel, the sun had already reached the top of his head, but Jin still did not slow down.
I saw that every once in a short period of time, he would jump off his hunchback and put his ear to the sand and listen for a moment.
He was judging whether there were any pursuers coming, and the sound waves transmitted from the ground far more than the air.
This time, after his ears were on the ground, there was a look of surprise on his face, and Kurai Yue knew just by looking at his expression that something must have happened.
"What's the matter, Kim, did anyone chase after you?"
Jin nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Yes, and there are no less than twenty of them, they are very fast, there must be experts in the desert and hounds, otherwise it will not be possible to find our direction so quickly, if we don't find a way, we will be caught up by them before dark, and we must delay them. ”
Kurai Yue was so frightened that she couldn't help but hug the child tightly, her face full of fear.
Jin took out the "brain-dead knife" and scraped the blade with his fingers, but there was no murderous aura in his eyes.
However, everyone knows that what he is thinking about at this moment is how to kill the pursuers.
Kurai looked at Kim's tanned, but still handsome face, which was her only sense of security, but she was surprised that there was no fear on Kim's face except for a trace of worry and annoyance, let alone the slightest murderous aura.
And she believes that only people who have experienced this kind of life and death for a long time can remain so calm in such a situation.
Only those who have experienced countless killings can not have a trace of murderous aura when they are ready to release the blood of the enemy with their knives.
Kim, is that a person?
Kurai Yue's heart trembled.
