Chapter 41: The Desert Caravan (1)

A group of people were in a good mood, but fortunately, the caravan in front of them was not moving fast, and the six people of the Xu Dynasty were able to catch up quickly.

"Please wait. Xu Dai used the last bit of strength to finally catch up with the caravan, and Xu Dai shouted loudly behind.

Those people heard Xu Dai's call, and finally found a group of people behind them who didn't know when they were following. The guards invited by the caravan drew their weapons one after another, and looked at the six people of the Xu Dynasty with a wary expression.

Xu Daisheng was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, we are not robbers." We are lost people in the desert, and we only want to beg for a sip of water when we see you. ”

The guards looked at the owner of the caravan.

The caravan owner who seemed to be not afraid of heat and wore a melon skin hat laughed and said generously: "Isn't it just asking for water? ”

Seeing that all those who hired him had said this, all the men of the convoy had their weapons sheathed. Xu Dai and the others thanked them one after another, and they didn't go over, but sat on the ground in place, for fear that the people of the caravan would not accept them because of the approach of a few people.

However, the caravan owner did not have any precautions against a few people, he walked over with the wine jug he was carrying at his waist, and asked with a smile, "Are you here to explore the desert?"

After drinking the water, Xu Dai, who felt refreshed, hugged Fluttershy, who showed signs of waking up, and shaded her, and when he saw the caravan boss coming to talk, he smiled, "It's barely counted." ”

"It's just that a few days ago, because of a storm, I lost a few kettles filled with water, and there was no water in the remaining kettles, so it's a miracle that I can survive until now. ”

The caravan owner was a talkative man, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "I am indeed lucky, it is not easy to survive in the case of dehydration until now." ”

"Does this friend drink? I still have a lot of wine in the jug. ”

Handed out the wine jug, Xu Dai did not have the slightest suspicion, took the wine jug and raised his head to drink a sip of wine, and then returned the wine jug: "Thanks to the great grace of the old brother, we will definitely remember it." ”

The caravan owner smiled: "When you go out, you can help, and you can help, and you will have one more friend and one more way." ”

This person is not as mercenary as other businessmen, and his reputation in the business world should be good.

So Xu Dai smiled and said: "What kind of business does my brother do? I think my brother is so cool, he must have a lot of friends and business, right?"

The caravan owner said: "In the porcelain business, people in the industry say that I can't make much money by working hard with others, but I don't think so. Wouldn't you make a friend and make money?"

Xu Dai smiled, the caravan boss said something funny. Glancing at the porcelain clay pot on the back of the caravan camel, Xu Dai also confirmed that what the caravan boss said was not a lie.

"This friend is also interested in porcelain, I see that you are carrying a clay pot, are you also a person who plays with elegance?" the caravan owner asked when he saw the clay pot that Xu Dai was carrying behind his back.

Xu Dai's eyes darkened, shook his head and smiled: "There are things that are very important to me in it." ”

"I see. The caravan owner nodded, "Are a few of you a master of martial arts?"

Xu Dai didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "They are all fools in this aspect of martial arts, and they have been hovering at the bottom of the realm for so many years of martial arts, so don't mention it." ”

The caravan boss smiled and said, "If you follow my caravan together, you are short of water, the caravan is short of manpower, and everyone stays together and takes care of each other." ”

Xu Dai said: "I can't make the decision on this matter myself, can my brother allow me to discuss it with my partner?"

"Please take care of yourself. The caravan owner said with a smile and got up to leave Xu Dai and them.

Xu Dai looked at Zhao Bing and the others, and Zhao Bing said: "I think it's feasible, we are short of water, and we don't know when we will be able to find water to drink in this desert, and it's not a bad thing to follow the caravan." ”

Wei Qi also nodded and said, "Brother Xu, I also have the same idea as Zhao Bing." This caravan owner doesn't look like a bad guy, and besides, we also have the strength to protect ourselves. ”

Xu Dai looked at Zhao Shuyun and Li Meng, Li Meng smiled and said, "I don't have any opinion on how you choose." ”

Zhao Shuyun followed Zhao Bing even more, so Xu Dai walked to the caravan boss who was talking and arranging manpower in the caravan, and said, "Brother, we have thought it through, and I hope that Brother can take us in and follow the caravan for a while." ”

"No problem. The caravan owner smiled, "Haven't asked your friends for their names?"

"Contemptible person, my brother just calls me Xu Dai. Xu Dai said, Xu Dai deliberately pronounced the surname as the word "Xu".

The caravan owner smiled: "My surname is Sun, if you don't think my old grandson is big, just call me Brother Sun." ”

"Brother Sun, where is the caravan going?" asked Xu Dai after learning the surname of the caravan owner.

Boss Sun said: "This trip is to Mucheng, recently the rich and noble families in Mucheng have the intention of collecting some porcelain, so I specially brought a batch of good porcelain to sell." ”

"Shepherd. Xu Dai nodded, although Mucheng is not as chaotic as Xizhou, it is much larger than Xizhou. There are many powerful families in the city, and the water in the city is deeper than that in Xizhou.

Walking back to Zhao Bing and them, Zhao Bing asked, "Brother Xu, how is it?"

"It's already decided, let's follow the caravan all the way through the desert to Mucheng. Xu Dai said.

Zhao Bing nodded, but Li Meng frowned and said: "Mucheng is bigger than Xizhou, and there are more masters in the city, so we need to be careful in everything after we go to Mucheng." ”

Wei Qi smiled and said, "Sister Li Meng, we will never cause trouble, of course, unless someone will provoke us." ”

In the past few days, everyone has also become familiar with Li Meng, and at Li Meng's request, all three people except Xu Dai and Xiaodie call Li Meng a sister.

"Anyway, we must be careful on the way to escort the caravan, then the caravan owner should have no problem, but we still need to take precautions and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Xu Dai said in a deep voice, looking at Boss Sun who was busy in the caravan.

"Brother Xu Dai, how are you resting?" Boss Sun, who had made the arrangement, walked over and asked with a smile.

Zhao Bing and the others glanced at Xu Dai, and they naturally knew what Xu Dai was lying about.

Xu Dai touched Fluttershy's head, nodded to Boss Sun, and said, "Brother Sun, you've already rested." ”

"Alright, let's get on the road. Boss Sun said. Although people can sit on the camel's back, they carry porcelain, water and food, so everyone can only walk with the camel on their back.

"In the desert, camels are a good thing. There are older camels that can still remember certain paths. If there is no water supply in the desert, you can follow the camels, and there will be a good chance of finding water. Boss Sun smiled at Xu Dai and the others while walking, "Of course, the premise is that you can survive the discomfort of lack of water than a camel, otherwise only people will suffer." ”

Xu Dai smiled slightly and said, "I heard that sometimes there is a chance to see a mirage in the desert, that is, there is a hallucination, mistakenly thinking that there is a scene in front of you. I haven't seen it yet, Brother Sun, you have been wandering all over the world all year round, and you may have a chance to see it. ”

Boss Sun said: "I saw it once when I was young, and that time in the desert, I was like you brothers of Xu Dai, who almost died of lack of water. Then I saw a big river rolling down the dunes, roaring but not making a sound, but I didn't think much about it at the time, so I climbed down the dunes. When I got close to the long river, I found that there was only a piece of yellow sand, and I knew that I had encountered a mirage. I don't know if I was lucky enough to come across such a rare situation, or if I should have felt unlucky and wasted a lot of energy. ”

Xu Dai and the others were amazed when they heard this, and Zhao Bing asked, "Boss Sun, then let's see how you found the water?"

Boss Sun smiled and touched the camel he was leading, and said: "That evening I saw a white camel standing in the distance and gnawing on grass blades, I didn't have any intention of following at first, but then the white camel found me but did not run away, but looked at me fixedly." I felt something unusual, so I walked to the white camel with the idea that I could take one step at a time before I died. One after the other, I was finally taken to a verdant lake, and I survived. ”
