Chapter 541: The Land of Bad Water

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is late October.

Today is the day of departure, this time the place to go is located in Fangqu City, which is located in the northwest region, suffering from the current traffic situation, can only choose land and water alternately.

From Spring City to Fangqu City, this distance is not close, it took a lot of time just to hurry, and when the group arrived in Fangqu City, it was already early November.

Compared with Yun Province, the climate and environment in the northwest are indeed very different, and the average daily temperature in November has dropped to several degrees below zero, and Xia Yanru and her party have already put on thick cotton clothes to resist the cold.

When they first arrived in Fangqu City, the group first found a guest house to rest, and they were all tired all the way, and they also had to wait for the supplies that were still on the way.

Because this operation is different from the past, many materials and equipment are shipped separately, the first receiving point is Fangqu City, and some special equipment will be directly transported to Luzhuang, the last resting place of their trip.

After waiting for two days in Fangqu City, the first batch of supplies and equipment arrived, and after receiving these necessities and reloading them, most of them set off again.

In the next process of going to Luzhuang, there will be two more stops to stay and rest, and then it will go straight to Luzhuang non-stop.

Maybe it was because they had a stopover and a delay in recuperation, and when they arrived in Luzhuang, the last batch of equipment had already arrived.

The vanguard sent by Ji Wenlin also waited in Luzhuang one step earlier, and when the large army came, they reported to Ji Wenlin one by one the situation of their exploration during this time.

I don't know if the things that Ji Wenlin did before played a role, or if Ji Cong deliberately avoided it, and he didn't receive any information related to Ji Cong all the way from Spring City to Luzhuang.

Although there is no news from the other party, Ji Wenlin and Xia Yanru both know that the person has been monitoring their actions in private, and this time their departure is not very secretive, so it is impossible for Ji Cong's side to have no action, it is nothing more than a hidden means.

"The land of bad water is not a natural desert land, in ancient times, it was also a prairie with fertile water and grass and pleasant scenery, but unfortunately due to man-made destruction, the environment here deteriorated year by year, and finally formed this desert land." On the day when the large army gathered, Ji Wenlin presided over a meeting and gave a detailed explanation of the ultimate purpose of this time.

"At present, the government has begun to remediate this desert land, but it will start with Yansui first, and the area where we are located is already on the edge of the desert, so it will not attract the attention of the government for the time being." Ji Wenlin continued.

"And when are we leaving?" Yu Feng was the first to ask.

"We can go at any time, but before we can do that, we need a guide." Ji Wenlin replied.

"I'm afraid it's hard to find someone who knows a little bit about the desert terrain." Xia Yanru's current situation is no longer suitable for map navigation work, and overusing her abilities will only make her health worse.

"It's okay, I have already arranged for Qi Ju to inquire in advance, and the current news I have received is that there is indeed a guide here that meets the requirements, but this person has a strange temper, and it may take some effort to convince the other party." Ji Wenlin reassured.

Everyone knows very well that this kind of acquired desert land, compared with the natural desert land, in fact, the geographical environment is more complicated, if there is no reliable guide to lead the way, it is estimated that this desert will be more difficult.

After the meeting, Xia Yanru asked Ji Wenlin to take a closer look at the guide's situation, and then knew why Ji Wenlin said that the other party's temper was weird.

In order to convince this guide, money is naturally indispensable, and secondly, Xia Yanru and Ji Wenlin also visited the thatched house three times in a row, and after determining each other's concerns, they also made a series of guarantees, and finally the sincerity of the two finally moved each other.

This guide is a minority, his full name is rather awkward, and the locals call him Old Bart, but Xia Yanru naturally can't call Old Bart like this, and basically call each other "Uncle Bart".

Uncle Bart's appearance is a typical Mongolian strong man, but this Mongolian strong man is still not young, and he is now 56 years old, but because of his perennial exercise, he looks a lot stronger.

After confirming that he was a guide, Old Bart told Xia Yanru that they were going to enter the desert with the necessary items, which were all derived from his rich experience.

Fortunately, Ji Wenlin had already prepared for these items, and he knew that this operation would be active in the desert most of the time, so it was naturally indispensable to find a professional person to understand the necessities of entering the desert before setting off.

After these preliminary tasks were ready, Xia Yanru and her party officially set off for the desert, and of course, a team of people was stationed in the village so that they could do the work at any time.

It took thousands of years for the Land of Bad Water to form this special desert land, and in addition to the human factor, there are actually some more complex reasons for this.

Old Bart was a famous gold digger when he was young, and he went deep into the depths of the Bad Water Land several times, and he was the only one who knew where Xia Yanru and the place they were going to was in the desert, although he had not gone deep into the center of the desert for many years, but the impression left on him was too deep, and it was because of those old things that he was reluctant to give Xia Yanru and them a guide at first.

The environment in the desert can change many times a day, and people who are not very familiar with the desert do not dare to go too deep, especially some extremely bad weather, once encountered, it will definitely be fatal.

Xia Yanru and Ji Wenlin are not very familiar with the desert terrain, and after inviting Old Bart this time, they respected the guide's command along the way, and as for the rest of the team, they were all Ji Wenlin's henchmen and Xia Yanru's close friends, so they had no objection to the guide.

In the early years, Old Bart also worked as a guide for outsiders for money, and the last time he was a guide to the destination, it was the same destination as Xia Yanru and they were going to this time, and that time it was also thanks to his rich experience in desert survival, which left a small life.

After walking in the desert for three days in a row, it was only past noon on this day, and Old Bart looked at the northeast and meditated, and subconsciously reached out to touch the wine gourd on his waist.

"Uncle Bart, shall we continue our journey?" Xia Yanru has been paying attention to Old Barth's movements, not because she doesn't trust him enough, it's purely a subconscious vigilant behavior.

"I can't hurry anymore today, I have to find a safe place to hide for the night, it's going to change." Old Bart pursed his slightly dry lips, and there was occasionally a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

When Xia Yanru heard this, she knew that this changing sky was definitely not a literal changing sky, and it was estimated that it was very likely to refer to the "Desert Fire Phoenix" mentioned by Old Bart before, and the specific and detailed information was not detailed by the other party, but the words were all meant to be avoided.
