Uncle Lu and Hu San exchanged a meaningful look, Hu San's eyes purred, stepped forward and patted Shengzi on the shoulder and said, "You haven't seen anything, just remember that I won't hurt you." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Katsuko snorted, her eyes drooping, and she used her feet to stir the yellow sand on the ground. I was a little worried that he would tell what he saw and cause trouble, and when I was hesitating to intimidate him, I caught a glimpse of his resentful and gloomy eyes cast at Hu Santou.

After a short discussion, the group decided to follow the instructions on the note. Katsuko picked up the sand and sniffed it, then looked at the poplar that looked dry and twisted but vigorous not far away, and nodded: "There may be a water source not far away." ”

It took us half an hour to walk the three kilometers mentioned on the note, and I looked left and right, but I saw nothing but the yellow sand and the stubborn poplars. Zhang Siyuan turned to the right, walked a long distance on the kick, and then suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed like a slit, and pointed to the front and shouted: "There is a group of people leading camels ahead!" ”

I squinted my eyes and put my hands on the pergola, but no matter how I looked, I could only faintly see a few small black dots. Wang Zhen pulled his eyes from Zhang Siyuan's face, put them in front of his eyes and frowned, "Why can't I see it?" ”

Zhang Siyuan snorted, took a deep breath and was about to shout, but Hu San covered his mouth violently. He blocked his true breath in his throat, rolled his eyes and glared at Hu San. Hu San shook his fingers, signaled him not to shout, threw the bag on his shoulder to the ground, and leaned forward quickly on the yellow sand. I hurried after him nervously, but suddenly I heard a gurgling sound behind me.

The small black dots gradually became clear in my field of vision, and it turned out to be a few Uyghur men leading camels. As soon as they heard the voice behind me, they suddenly stopped and turned their heads, and Katsuko couldn't help but be overjoyed, and ran past me like a wild horse on the loose.

Wang Zhen muttered, "I didn't expect him to meet acquaintances here." ”

Katsuko held the hand of one of the men in his prime and spat at him. Uncle Lu slowly walked behind him, patted his shoulder and asked, "Can I buy a few camels?" ”

The other party looked at us with a blank expression on his face. Shengzi was stunned for a moment, and said to Uncle Lu with an embarrassed face: "The camel can only buy one of you at most, and they will pay a very high price, I can't help you negotiate the price." ”

Uncle Lu didn't think about it and said, "It's better to have one horse than nothing, you ask them how much it costs?" ”

Katsuko turned his head again and asked in Uyghur, and the other party raised five fingers and smiled secretly. My heart sank, knowing that I was going to be slaughtered today, and asked tentatively, "Five thousand?" ”

The middle-aged uncle, who had been silent on the side, understood these two words, and said in stiff Mandarin: "Five thousand yuan is a cheap price, and my camel can be picked." If you add another hundred dollars, it will tell you a secret. ”

Katsuko didn't wait for me to answer, glared at him fiercely, turned his head and apologized: "You don't have to give out a hundred yuan, I also know his secret, I'll tell you." 5,000 camels to pick from, agree? ”

After paying the money, Katsuko followed me with a camel, a little sullen. Wang Zhen accosted him in order to relieve his boredom: "Why don't you speak, are you tired?" By the way, what is the secret that the man just said that a hundred dollars can be bought? ”

At the mention of this, Katsuko's face drooped even more, and he sighed, "This...... Don't care, our people here are poor and afraid, and those who are greedy for money have no conscience. The camels could be bought for up to 3,000, and the group of people usually had a good relationship with me, so I couldn't bargain with them or tell the truth. The secret in his mouth was actually that there was a lake half an hour ahead to replenish the water. ”

I was angry and laughed, and said to myself, this group of people really want money and crazy. Uncle Lu glanced at him meaningfully and asked, "Didn't you just say that no one is doing desert business now, and there are very few camels, how can this group of people appear here again?" ”

Katsuko hurriedly explained, "That's true, I didn't deceive you. His voice suddenly lowered, "Actually, there's something I haven't told you all along. The purpose of my entry into the desert is not only to visit the wonders of the desert, but the main purpose is to find people, and so do the people. ”

Wang Linshuo and I exchanged a look, and he asked, "Do you have a friend missing here?" ”

As soon as she said this, Katsuko's face suddenly darkened like the sky before a rainstorm. He gritted his teeth and clenched the reins in his hand so hard that the camel snorted and shook its head in dissatisfaction. He shrunk his neck, shivered under the sun, took a deep breath, and said, "Two weeks ago, a group of people came to our village, and they bought camels for a guide at a sky-high price, and they had to go into the desert. They only said that they were an archaeological team and that they were going to the desert to find some ancient scriptures. I saw that their eyes were full of fierceness, and that a large muscle bulged out of their arms, and that they did not agree to their request. But one of the neighbor's brothers, fascinated by their high price, called a few men in the prime of life to go in with them. Although seven or eight days have passed and no one has returned, the desert is extremely large and the distance is far away, and it is not uncommon for it to take more than ten days to return home. But three days earlier, a man who had gone with his brother had run back to the village in a frenzy, his eyes glazed and he had only hidden in a corner trembling, and the slightest sound could have scared him half to death, and his mouth was still full of words. I knew that most of my friend was in trouble, and decided to go in and look for him, and bring back the body even if he died. ”

Uncle Lu nodded, and unexpectedly didn't ask about the physiognomy of the archaeological team, but just comforted him: "He will be safe, don't worry, just lead the way, I will help you find it." ”

Katsuko was silent, just holding on to the camel's rope and walking with her head down. I saw that his face was solemn, and the corners of his eyes were hidden in his heart, so I changed the topic and asked, "Why do you speak Mandarin so well, could it be that your sister taught you?" ”

He pursed his lips for a few moments before he hummed. I saw his stuffy appearance, and I didn't know what to say, so I patted him on the shoulder and walked to the side to chat with Zhang Siyuan.

After this episode, the group followed the instructions on the note, and after a while, they saw a shallow blue lake. The water was surprisingly clear, the white clouds and the sun in the sky were all contained in its arms, and there were even one or two birds whose names I could not name were drinking by the lake. Wang Linshuo looked at the green aquatic plants swaggering under the water and the poplar with a hunched back, and sighed again: "I have only seen this kind of picture on TV and books before, and I never imagined that I could be there today." ”

Zhang Siyuan took out the straw that purified the river water and said: "You haven't seen a lot, you haven't seen the women's bathhouse, and of course you can't be there in person." ”

I laughed, Wang Linshuo made a gesture to push Zhang Siyuan into the lake, and the frightened waterfowl flew up. Katsuko, who had been hurrying with her head bored, suddenly raised her head and asked with a red face, "What does the women's bathhouse look like?" I've never touched a woman's hand like this. ”

Wang Zhen patted me on the shoulder and said, "Coincidentally, he is also like you, the first love, the first kiss and the first lead." ”

I couldn't hold back a little on my face, and retorted: "Don't talk about me like that, could it be that you did it?" ”

Zhang Siyuan wiped his mouth and said: "Of course, he was a beautiful man when he was in college, and it is said that there are always little girls who hand over love letters with a red face." It's like when you were in college, dark, rough and sloppy. ”

After we had enough to drink and rest, we began to pack our things, pack our bags, and throw all the heavy items to the camels. Hu San lowered his head and walked around us with his hands behind his back, and said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that there is a reminder for the second day to go to the right, could it be that you are making fun of us?" ”

Uncle Lu threw him a huge bag, and said impatiently: "It doesn't matter if he has it or not, hurry up and hurry, it will be inconvenient when it gets dark for a while." ”

Wang Linshuo took out his GPS, looked at it carefully, and said: "Our direction is off, we should go all the way to the left to go deep into the hinterland of the desert." ”

Katsuko staggered to the front, and said as he led the way: "You must ask me about the direction, the watch in your hand is only an auxiliary role." ”

Hu San pointed to his back and chuckled at us, and said in a low voice: "Children love to behave, and when he takes the wrong way, he looks good." ”

With the camels, our burden is much lighter, and we can even take turns riding up to rest. As we hurried our pace, the poplars around us gradually disappeared, and the occasional insect chirping that we could hear before disappeared. Looking up, there is not even a trace of green in the field of vision except for yellow sand or yellow sand. I was a little flustered and a little excited, and when I touched the weapons of self-defense, there was a sudden angry cry in my ears.

Katsuko stood at the front of the line, pulling the reins of the camel. And the usually docile behemoth is motionless at the moment, no matter how its master whips and drinks, its four legs seem to be nailed to the sand. Uncle Lu caught up and helped him pull together, and the camel used all his strength to retreat as if it were a tug-of-war with them, digging up bursts of yellow sand.

Zhang Siyuan wanted to step forward and kick its buttocks, but was almost kicked in the center by its hind hooves. His face turned white with fright, and he took a few steps back, and his mouth was boundless and angry. Katsuko wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the sky and the road ahead, and said strangely: "There is no sign of a storm here, could it be that there are some giant creatures in ambush ahead?" ”
