When Brother Li heard my words, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Actually, I was originally from the Putian area. Ten years ago, by chance, my father and I followed an organization called the "Western Regions Cultural Research Association" to find the ruins of the ancient kingdom of the Western Night. A group of twenty-five of us walked through the Grim Reaper Desert, Devil's City, and the Kunlun Ice Sheet. In the end, the trip was basically wiped out. Even my father was not spared. This trip has also become an indelible shadow for my life. After speaking, Brother Li was about to choke up.

One can imagine how hard his father's death hit him. I looked at Brother Li sympathetically and whispered, "Brother Li, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have let you mention the sad past." I continued to ask, "In that case, why didn't you go to your hometown in Putian?" ”

"Alas! In my hometown, there is nothing left for a long time. When my mother heard the news of my father's death, she fell seriously ill and passed away soon after. And I'm the only one in my family, so it doesn't matter where I am. So, after I finished my mother's funeral, I simply returned here, hoping to find a chance to return to the place where my father was buried. This, this can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for him. ”

I looked at the middle-aged man in his forties in front of me with admiration, and I didn't expect that there were so many stories in him. What I didn't expect was that he was a person of great affection.

"Brother Li, if you don't want to help us in this matter. We don't blame you either. No, let's find someone else. I said with a little disappointment.

"It's okay, in fact, you don't look for me, I'm going to go back and have a look." Brother Li said with emotion.

As soon as we heard Brother Li say this, the three of us suddenly felt a lot less trouble, and we couldn't help but admire Brother Li more. After all, in life, there are some things that he doesn't want to face, and since he chooses to face them, it means that he has decided.

Following the road we came, we returned to Yecheng County in less than three hours. After saying goodbye to Brother Li, the three of us returned to the previous hotel. After thinking about it, the search for the ruins of the ancient kingdom of the West Night must be done as soon as possible. I told Li Tong and the cannon that they had decided to have a meeting in the evening to discuss the next trip. At the same time, prepare some things to use on the road.

For dinner, I ordered something at a fast food restaurant below the hotel. After eating, Li Tong followed me to the room without the cannon.

The cannon was lying on the couch when he entered the room, and he kept picking his feet. Li Tong frowned. I coughed dryly, glared at the cannon, and the creature quickly got up from the couch and sat on the bed.

Li Tong sat on the sofa with a disgusted expression. Seeing that everyone had already come, I said, "This time my mother's mission is to find the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of the West Night, and at present, on the one hand, we need Li Tong's human skin map, and on the other hand, we need to go through Brother Li." I don't know if you guys have any other opinions? ”

After a while, Li Tong said: "This visit to the tomb is indeed much more dangerous than before. The environment of the main desert is unfamiliar to my mothers, which adds a lot of variables to it. ”

"Yes, yes, Miss Li is reasonable. So, we have to have something ready. For example, water, dry food, and if you can find some weapons such as swords and guns, it would be great. ”

Li Tong glared and said, "With a gun?" Where are you looking for it in the wilderness? And now there is a ban on the sale of firearms. ”

"I ,......." the cannon was speechless by what Li Tong said.

Seeing this, I hurriedly said, "Don't make any noise. It's not impossible to bring this firearm, and besides, it's better if we can rent a few camels. In this way, we can also reduce the load we are traveling. Li Tong and the cannon said they had no objections.

The next day, we found a local camel farm in the county, saying that we wanted to rent a camel to travel in the desert and experience the scenery of the desert. The boss was in his forties, dressed in a floral shirt and carrying a cigarette. At first glance, it looks like an upstart, and it is almost not tied to his body with a big iron chain. Seeing that we were going to rent out camels, we naturally refused to let go of the business opportunities in front of us.

None of the three of us had a crush on this nouveau riche-looking boss.

The boss stepped forward with a smile and greeted: "A few handsome guys and beauties, are you going to travel in the desert?" Li Tong and the cannon took the opportunity to stay inside the avenue farm. It was just me talking to my boss.

I forced a smile out of my face and said, "yes, boss." We are students who have come to the level, no, we took advantage of the summer vacation to bring two classmates to Xinjiang to have fun. ”

"Play, I think these students are tired of life." The boss muttered in a low voice, and then said loudly: "Oh, handsome man, we have a good camel here, not only thirsty, good physical strength, but also very spiritual." ”

Today's bad businessmen are really able to brag, they can say that the living are dead, and they can say that the dead are alive, and then perform. I thought to myself.

I laughed and said, "The boss is really funny." Why don't you show us? "Maybe the boss saw my suspicions and took me into the farm immediately. When Cannon and Li Li saw me enter, they followed.

In fact, this is not so much a camel breeding farm as an acclimation farm. Passing through the camel pen, we came to a huge playground, where we saw more than a dozen domesticators shouting at Cao Shang at the same time. And these camels seemed to be very obedient, standing for a while, lying down for a while.

The boss took us to the center of the playground and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, rest assured, my camels here are trained by the top domesticators in China." I promise to listen to you when I go out. ”

Blow it, don't blow the cowhide. I thought to myself.

I saw the boss walk to the most central place and motioned for us to choose a camel. I walked up and pointed to a camel in front of me and said, "This is it." ”

"Good!" The boss clapped his hands and motioned for the trainer to get ready.

I heard the tamer pat the camel on the head a few times and say, "Lie down." "The camel in front of me immediately lay down in front of me as if it had received an order from its superiors.

This camel is quite obedient, I thought to myself.

"Drink water!" The tamer shouted, and the camel stuck its head into the trough. We were all amazed, this camel was really obedient.

In fact, the most worrying thing about people who usually rent camels is that they occasionally give you a disobedient word that makes you cry and laugh. Seeing the camel in front of me so obedient, I was instantly relieved.

I turned around and said, "Boss, this camel is good." How much does it cost to rent it out? ”

"Not much, two thousand yuan at a time, no bargaining." The boss said directly.

"Okay, then we're going to rent six camels." I continued: "I will inform you of the time of departure, please be ready. ”

"Okay, deal. Then you can sign this contract. The boss said with a smile.

After taking the contract, I saw that the content was almost the same, and I didn't think much about it and signed it immediately.
