Desert Lonely Lamp Chapter 23 Camel Farm
I didn't rest all night, I still couldn't hold on, before six o'clock, I already felt dizzy, my eyes were full of stars, Feng Pingping was similar, the road back to "Whitebeard's" house from the stream was also swaying, I can't remember how the two of us came back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Breakfast was still not served, so the two of us lay down and fell asleep, and when we woke up and looked at our watches, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon......
"Alas, you young people have so much sleep, I didn't sleep all night, so I made up for three hours of sleep, and now I don't feel sleepy at all, and I'm still refreshed! Hurry up and eat something, and I'll take you to see the camels in a moment! "Whitebeard" had a pot of soup in his hand and two steamed buns, which counted as our lunch.
I've been a little tired of eating steamed buns these days, but this time I haven't eaten for a day, coupled with the unique taste of soup, it makes me feel that this steamed bun is simply delicious in the world, and nothing can compare to it.
There are not as many camels in the village as I imagined, I thought that in the desert areas of Xinjiang, especially in the countryside, there should be camels in every family, but now that I think about it, it is really my idea that is too simple.
The camels are kept far away from Whitebeard, so I guess it's too close because it doesn't smell good! However, when I saw the "whitebeard" camel herd, I still admired him in my heart, but I didn't expect that he, an old bachelor in his fifties, could still have the energy to feed such a large group of camels, which was really not easy.
"Camels, you have to raise them with your heart, you see that I have only been out for more than half a month, and I have been raised like this by others, oops, I feel sorry for me, you see that it is skinny and skinny!" When he arrived at the feedlot, "Whitebeard" really began to show up again, put his calloused hand on a camel, and stroked it a few times: "If you talk about raising camels, the most suitable food is hay and salt, and salt is needless to say, if we lack salt, we will have no strength, our camel needs to bear weight, if there is a lack of salt in the body, it will not be so useful in the desert, and then this hay is a good thing, this thing is light, even if you go out on a long trip, you can bring a lot, And the hay that a camel can carry is enough for it to eat for half a month! ”
"This camel is quite strange! The livestock in our rural hometown love to eat green grass and tender grass, but I didn't expect this kind of livestock to love to eat hay! Asako stabbed me in the back and laughed.
Mazi's voice was not too loud, but it still made "Whitebeard" hear: "Hey, hey, you little Zhang don't understand!" The climate here is too arid, where is there so much grass to feed the camels, and our camels do different jobs from the cows, horses, and donkeys you say! As long as the cows, horses and donkeys work for a day, they will have grass to eat when they return home, but our camels are going to go into the desert, and we can't bring too many things in the desert, so it is impossible to bring so much camel feed. ”
Mazi heard him say this, there was no sound, but "Whitebeard" said that the main principle of entering the desert is to bring more water, less other unimportant things, if most of the things brought are salt and hay for camels to eat, then I am afraid that after entering the desert, I am afraid that I will not be able to go far, and I will have to turn back! Of course, these things are also what I saw in books, if it was me a month ago, I should have the same thoughts as Mazi!
"And will your camel be back to normal in two days? Don't go into the desert and have any accidents, and explain a few of us inside, isn't it good? "It's true that he is in business, and he still thinks about himself at the critical moment, and that's right, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, and it is normal for Li Yongyi to have such thoughts at this time, after all, there are still enterprises in the northeast and Lu Yubo, and they can't give their lives to this great northwest for a magic lamp, wouldn't it be a loss to Mrs. and a soldier.
I paid attention to Lu Yubo's actions, and it didn't seem to have changed because of what "Whitebeard" said about camels, and when Li Yuji spoke, his expression changed accordingly, I can't describe the change, in short, it's not good-looking, and what that expression means, only Lu Yubo himself understands.
"No problem, no problem, three days is enough, I have raised my group of camels for five or six years, I have been accustomed to my feeding method, and the foundation is also very good, I will not delay everyone too much time because I haven't eaten well for half a month, I know, you are all big deals, you will make a lot of money every day, and you can't delay you from making a lot of money because of my problems!" "Whitebeard" said and amused himself, showing his yellow teeth again.
"That's right! Do you have any amulets, remember to take them with you when you go into the desert! "Whitebeard" added with a smile, picked up two bundles of hay, and threw them into the camel's trough.
"What's that? What other demons and monsters are there in this desert? Do you have to wear an amulet for self-defense? Mazi was puzzled and asked in a loud voice.
"Whitebeard" spread the hay in the trough to ensure that every camel could eat it, and turned around to look at Mazi: "Well, I can't tell, anyway, the older generation of people say that there are 'sand demons' in the desert, if you meet the 'sand demon' and provoke it, it will be a black sandstorm!" ”
Hearing the word "demon", Mazi smiled disdainfully, I don't understand where his smile came from, maybe he still firmly believes in Marxist atheism, but it is more likely that he has experienced so many unbelievable things before, and he has disdained the "sand demon" in the mouth of "Whitebeard" this time!
I saw Mazi put his hand into his clothes and wanted to take out something, and quickly stopped him, I was afraid that he wanted to show the gold touch charm to "Whitebeard", if there were several people who recognized it as a gold touch, I didn't bother to explain it.
I gave Mazi a look, Mazi comprehended, there are a lot of things to show, not bad for this one, Mazi should also figure out the stakes, reached into the clothes empty-handed and came out empty-handed, and said haha: "It's okay, I, Zhang Jianguo, am everyone's talisman, no matter what 'sand demon' or 'stone demon' it is, I will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune in the team!" ”
Several people couldn't help but be happy when they heard him blow like this, but Lu Yubo's expression was still so serious: "I think it's better not to meet the 'sand demon', if you really meet it, maybe who is running at the forefront!" ”
