Chapter 209: Camel Bell (2)

Under the scorching sun, in the thorny desert, a melodious camel bell from far and near, deep and shallow footprints also stretched, several strong men draped in shoulders, all covered with sweat evaporated salt crystals, they squinted their eyes and watched, shouting at the camel team with their throats.

There are many camel caravans in Mai Guyuan, but there are few such magnificent ones as the rich man's family, hundreds of camels are connected head to tail, like swimming dragons, and there are dozens of accompanying men who take care of the camel caravan, and the fierce style is enough to scare off ordinary robbers.

Wheat hoarding and driving dark horses, running before and after taking care of them, mosquitoes, ants, snakes, hurricanes and sandstorms in the desert, there are too many things to watch out for, and I really can't be careless.

Not long after leaving the wheat valley plain, this sturdy Mobei reckless man was already discouraged, and only a pair of shining eyes appeared on a black face, and he spurred the horse to gallop forward for a while, turned the horse's head to count the goods, and occasionally jumped off the horse to chat with a few men who looked at each other.

This trip has gone thousands of back and forth, the accompanying men to build a house, begging for money for their daughters-in-law, are all earned in this melodious camel bell, the road is naturally very bitter, the mosquitoes in the desert are very annoying, sometimes a few days can not sleep well, but also at any time to face the fierce horse bandits, the heart is always in the throat, half a point can not be lazy.

The black horse straightened his ears, anxiously stepping on the ground in a circle, Mai hoarding looked into the distance, the sky was shocked, the yellow sand spread, like an unstoppable flood, and shouted in a hurry: "The sandstorm is coming, hide!"

The experienced man pulled the reins of the camel, and the dragon-like caravan was broken in an instant, and they hid behind the boulder, and the camels seemed to know what they were facing, and snuggled up to each other and narrowed their eyes.

Mai Hoard had already hidden, but saw that in the scattered camel caravan, there was still one person struggling to pull the reins, and the camels under his command showed no signs of giving in, wrestling with him on the spot, seeing that the sandstorm was about to come, Mai Hoard didn't think much about it, and hurriedly ran out, holding him with one hand and dragging him behind the boulder, and shouted in his mouth:

"Are you dying?"

The man is Wang San, he ran the camel team for the first time, he has no experience, no means, only a paste brain, seeing that the camel in his hand refuses to go, he uses his strength to drag it out, and suddenly feels that his body is being restrained by someone, and he doesn't think much about it, and shouts: "This camel doesn't go, it doesn't go!"

Mai Hoarding ran to the back of the camel's buttocks, pushing and beating, the stubborn camel couldn't help the two of them to work together, although they struggled, their bodies moved inch by inch behind the boulder.

Wang San and Mai Hoard spent a lot of effort, fortunately they avoided the sandstorm, the rolling yellow sand accompanied by a terrible whistling suddenly, the stubborn camel looked at the vast and treacherous sky, and did not dare to be stubborn anymore, curled up and leaned behind the boulder, Wang San and Mai Hoard's faces were lying in the camel hair, wrapped around the shoulders of the body.

The fine sand in the wind is like a bullet fired at a burst of bullets, which is enough to kill people, Wang San was secretly frightened, if he was just one step late, he would be buried in this yellow sand, he wanted to turn his head to say thank you to Mai Hoard, thought about it, or forget it, but asked: "Mai Ye, how long will it take for the sandstorm to stop." ”

"It's not accurate, sometimes it's three or five minutes, sometimes it's a day and a night!"

The two had nothing to say, this time the sandstorm stopped quickly, only about ten minutes, but everyone and each camel was covered with a layer of sand, and when the sandstorm faded, it was the scorching sun again, and the melodious camel bells, and the men laughed and laughed at each other, as if nothing had happened.

Wang San was still palpitating, and the hand leading the camel was a little trembling, but fortunately, the camel under his hand suffered and followed Wang San obediently, and he was no longer stubborn.

After walking for a few days in a row, stepping up during the day, and sleeping around the fire at night, the bitter taste was also diluted a lot between talking and laughing with each other, although Wang San was a lazy man, his mouth was not lazy, and he often told a few stories to relieve the boredom, and laughed and laughed on the road, but it was not too bitter.

The caravan finally got out of the desert, and there were no decent towns nearby, only a few villages scattered around, and exchanged a few sheaves of wheat for some fine porcelain, and carried them into the distance along with the rest of the wheat.

In this way, a little wheat on the camel has been replaced with porcelain, spices and cloth, the melodious camel bell is still the same, but the objects on the camel's back have multiplied several times.

After a few days of trekking, we arrived at our first destination: Odawara Castle.

The guards at the city gate were also old acquaintances, and Mai Hoard jumped off his horse and chatted with the guards at the city gate while beckoning the camel caravan into the city.

Guard: "Master Mai, I see that this hunchback has a lot of things on it, and I will make a lot of money this year!"

Mai Hoho said with a smile: "Wherever and wherever you make, all you earn is hard-earned money, and a round trip so far away is worth the price." ”

His hand pressed on the guard's shoulder, and with the other hand he stuffed a few silver coins, and said with a smile: "Drink money, say a word to the brothers for me, then I will be less accompanied!"

The guard weighed his trouser pocket, smiled, and said, "It's still Mai Ye who can do things!"

Odawara Castle is a good place to rest, and when a group of people have just crossed the desert and are really tired, it is really nice to have a safe place to rest and recuperate.

After the camels were placed, a group of people gathered around the wooden table, and a few steaming bowls of soup cakes were served, gobbling up a fine meal, and then patting the table, punching orders, shouting and shouting, and venting all the fatigue along the way.

Mai Hoarding sat by the window with a pot of wine, delayed in Odawara Castle for a few days, there was still a long way to go, and he didn't know when he would be able to answer Mai Guyuan, and he didn't know when he would be able to meet Jing'er.

Wang San brought a pot of wine and asked with a smile, "What do you want?"

Mai Hoho took a big sip and said lightly: "It's nothing." ”

"Homesick!"

Mai Hochu laughed heartily, he didn't want to mention the warm home in such a hard day, so he diverted the topic: "Why don't you go with them, tell you, this is the only place where you can be happy all the way, there is no such shop in this village, and there will be a long period of hard life in the future, can you survive it?"

Wang San leaned against the wall, his eyes were distracted, and muttered, "I've survived such a long hard life, and I'm afraid of the rest?"

Mai Hoho touched the wine jug, the stirring aroma of wine wanton, said: "I used to think that you were a lazy man, these days after getting along, I feel that I have misseen you, this trip down, if you still want to do it, just follow me, if you don't want to do it, you can also use the money to buy a few acres of land, marry a wife, and live a life in peace!"

Wang San didn't speak, his eyes were filled with tears, so he had to turn his head away and take a big sip of wine in a hurry.
