Chapter 359 - Desert Reaper
"This. Pinshu.com. I hesitated for a moment, but then I thought that even if I had been staying here, I would not be able to keep it for a reason, so I nodded and followed them.
My legs were numb after a long time of sitting, and after walking for a while I felt a little thirsty, and a tall native who followed me understood what I meant, and handed me a heavy water bag made of camel skin that he had carried with him. When I saw this, I unscrewed the water bag and drank all the water inside.
The native saw that I drank water so quickly, his expression looked a little distressed, I suddenly understood that this place was a desert, and every drop of water was extraordinarily precious, so I smiled embarrassedly, waved my hand and said, "I'm sorry. That's how we used to drink water. ”
The native seemed to understand what I meant, grinned and waved his hand, and continued to walk forward. These natives are familiar with the terrain here, and can even find a shortcut in this desolate desert, and move freely in this desert, like a few geckos. Even Qinglong, who had received special training, was a little powerless at this time, and he was ashamed of himself.
After walking about two or three kilometers in this desert, we saw a green oasis in front of us, this oasis seemed extraordinarily quiet under the cover of night, and after watching the dusk of the whole day, and then seeing the green feeling had a feeling of brightness, the two natives pointed to the front, and said something I didn't understand, Qinglong nodded after hearing it, and turned his head to tell us that the front was where they lived.
Naturally, we rushed straight ahead, and we hadn't slept all day, and after a long time in the desert, I felt like I wanted to find a place to sleep right away.
This native led us to a piece of wood made of shoddy houses, I saw at a glance that this was a tribe, the wood used to build the houses had dried up, so that people could not see what kind of wood it was, and then Qinglong told me that these trees were the most common poplar trees in the desert, but the poplar trees had been cut down for too long, and because of the perennial exposure to the sun, they had become what they are now.
With a slight tap of my hand, I was able to pull a piece of wood from the poplar tree.
The two natives who led us into the house, Okocha and Moos, are also transliterated.
When I walked into the house, I felt a strong smell of dryness, and when I looked closely, I found that the layout inside was very simple, and there were many wooden barrels made of wood scattered on the ground, and I wanted to bend down to put these barrels away, but I was stopped by Moose.
"Brother Sheng, don't mess with the things in here." Qinglong turned his head to me and said, "The things that are laid out here are used to catch water when it rains, and if you move these things, you won't be able to catch water." I nodded, tiptoed into my room, and after a brief exchange between Qinglong and Moose, Moose left our rooms.
Chu Xuan and Liu Ziyan were in another private house, and when they heard that Xiao Feng and I were back, they both came listlessly to say hello to us and went back. The "bed" that entertained us was a mat made of a pile of unknown plants, and it was a very difficult place.
"Where did Moose and Okocha go?" I asked, lying on the mat.
Qinglong said, "The two of them are going to get you something to eat." ”
"What?" I paused for a moment, then sat up, "What's there to eat in this place?" Where are they going to get it so late? I asked. Qinglong shook his head and said that he didn't know either, and at this time, there was a sudden scream in the distance, as if it was not coming from the mouth of a person, but from the mouth of a kind of livestock.
Xiao Feng and I stood up and walked towards the source of the screams, and found that Okocha and Moose were each holding a slender knife in their hands, and they were stabbing towards a huge livestock - a camel. A lot of hot blood gushed out from the bodies of the livestock.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng and I hurriedly stopped the two of them and said, "Don't kill them, this camel is a very precious thing in the desert, if you kill the camel, what will you do in the future?" ”
Unfortunately, Okocha and Moose couldn't understand my language, so I hurriedly compared for a long time before Qinglong walked forward to translate with Okocha and Moose and conveyed my meaning to them.
But their response was simple, "We must welcome you warmly if you have friends from a distant country." Moose and Okocha's response was very resolute, which made me feel an inexplicable emotion in my heart, Xiao Feng lowered his head and dragged me and said, "Brother Sheng, there are already a lot of knife wounds on the camel, and there are no anti-inflammatory drugs in this place, even if you don't kill it, I'm afraid it won't live long, people are so enthusiastic, let's not refuse people, besides... Xiao Feng was halfway through his words and touched his already shriveled stomach.
At this time, I also subconsciously glanced at my rumbling stomach, smiled uselessly, and found two big stones to sit on.
Okochakomus moved quickly, and quickly skinned the camels, and brought a large iron basin from a short distance, and it seemed that they were going to make a fire for cooking.
At this time, Moose took off one of his horns from his waist and blew it in all directions, and a burst of howls spread from the center to the four directions, and at this time, a lot of natives suddenly appeared in the room on all sides, Xiao Feng and I stood up in horror and entered a state of alert.
"Brother Sheng, Brother Feng, what are you two doing?" Qinglong put his hands on the shoulders of the two of us and pressed the two of us against the big rock, "They have no ill will towards us, this is a way of entertaining guests. After Qinglong finished speaking, Xiao Feng's faces and I turned blue and red for a while.
Okocha and Moose lit a bonfire, put a bucket of water in a large iron basin, threw large pieces of camel meat into it, and took a few of us by the hand, and circled around the bonfire, as if it were a bonfire.
We have been tired for a day, but we were also completely moved by this cheerful atmosphere, and they danced around the bonfire, Liu Ziyan and Chu Xuan both wore two hats made of leaves on their heads at this time, and their faces were smeared with a few green soil, like two Indians, and then Qinglong told me that the custom in this place is that women will wear a hat made of leaves when they attend such an occasion, because in this sparsely populated place, women are very sacred, and they are called "queens".
Xiao Feng and I nodded ignorantly, and soon, as the bonfire slowly went out, the camel meat in the iron basin was almost cooked. Because we were very hungry, we ate three times and divided five by two.
What makes people wonder is that there is no seasoning in this camel at all, and even just boiled it in white water, it is so delicious, fat but not greasy, after eating, it makes people feel refreshed. (Pull hatred late at night, friends, let's go and eat supper~~ Beautiful and greasy, fragrant camel meat~)
After eating, an old man with a cane and a snake tooth on his neck walked up to us, this person at first glance, he must be in his seventies, I immediately stood up, sucked my fingers twice, and said to him, "Uncle, you sit here. "Immediately after I finished speaking, I felt a little panicked on my face, and the people here couldn't understand me speaking Chinese.
But what was even more surprising was that the old man nodded at me and said in fluent Chinese, "Thank you." ”
"Huh?" I paused for a moment, "Uncle, do you speak Chinese?" ”
"Hmm." The old man nodded, I looked at this person carefully, how to look at it does not look like Chinese, after the old man sat down, slowly said, "My mother is Chinese, my father is a native, but they both died many years ago, and they were taken by the desert death." ”
