Chapter 795: Desert Inn
Despite all the means, Liu Meng, who was in charge of raising supplies, finally got two camels to carry the supplies.
Camels, under the condition of carrying nearly 400 pounds of heavy goods, can walk more than 120 miles a day, and can walk continuously for four days without stopping.
When the weightless camel sprints with all its might, it can run nearly 160 miles per hour. This speed is far beyond that of ordinary horses!
The camel is familiar with the desert climate, and when a strong wind is approaching, it immediately kneels to protect itself. Experienced hosts who are ready to respond immediately.
Therefore, the world regards camels as a ship to cross the desert sea, so it has the reputation of "the ship of the desert".
It is the best means of transportation in the desert.
......
There are two species of camels: dromedary and bimedary.
It has a wide range of uses, and there are roughly four types: carrying carry, transportation, war riding, and food (camel milk, blood, flesh and bones, can be eaten when necessary).
Of course, the most used is transportation.
......
Camels have a small head and a long neck, and a tall body (in the case of the common Bactrian camel, most adult camels are 1.85 meters). If the hump is counted, it is up to 2.15 meters).
The eyes are heavy eyelids, the limbs are slender, the body hair is mostly brown, the nostrils can be opened and closed at will, the hooves are as large as plates, and the toes and plantar have thick skin. These are all characteristics that are suitable for walking in the desert.
It is extremely hungry and thirst-tolerant, and can survive without water for three weeks and without food for a month!
Its lifespan can be as long as 40 years, easy to tame, easy to raise, and very popular with the world.
......
There are two main reasons why camels are so thirsty.
First, the epiphytic water captives in the stomach have a strong water storage function.
Second, the special intranasal tube can make the water recycled in the body repeatedly without being lost to the body.
Moreover, every time it drinks enough water, it can go without drinking for several days.
......
After fostering the horses and preparing all kinds of materials, Hua Feng and his party of more than 60 people set off for the desert.
At this time, it is early summer, which is the best time of the year to cross the desert.
The best season, of course, is late autumn.
Late autumn is the same as early summer, with days that are not too hot and long nights that are not too cold.
And the rain is relatively abundant, and if you are lucky, there is a good chance of encountering a desert oasis.
......
At this time, the sky is still in the middle of light and dark, and the temperature is still low, which is suitable for trekking.
At the beginning, everyone, including Hua Feng, was extremely excited.
After all, the vastness of the desert is no less than the vastness of the sea, which really makes newcomers feel relaxed and amazed by the masterpieces of nature.
However, in just half a day, except for Hua Feng and the other seven peerless masters, the rest of the people were already sweating profusely even if they were only dressed in single clothes.
Of course, the two camels, each carrying more than 300 catties, were also unaware.
......
Walking on the sand is too exhausting.
After several hours of continuous travel, it was no different from being stuck in the mud.
The midday sun was too strong.
In a very short period of time, the temperature soared by tens of degrees Celsius.
It's only early summer, but what about late summer and early autumn?
Isn't it daunting?
However, even though it was difficult for the children to walk, and those with low martial arts were even more difficult, Hua Feng still showed no signs of stopping to rest, but the speed of moving forward slowed down slightly.
After all, this trip outside the Seychelles is not only for enjoying the scenery, but also for training.
If we retreat when we are in trouble and return when we are blocked, how can we still experience it? How can we make progress?
......
Those eighteen children, in particular, must take this opportunity to sharpen themselves.
At the beginning of their birth, they lived in a "paradise" with picturesque scenery and pleasant climate, not to mention the bloody rain and bloody wind in the martial arts world, and even the wind, frost, snow and rain in the natural world, they rarely experienced it.
It is no different from the flower of the greenhouse and the bird in the cage.
If this continues, how can you strike the sky in the future?
If you don't sharpen it, how will you be proud of the rivers and lakes in the future?
......
"Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, love is not a matter, righteousness is not good, goodness is not an official, and laziness is not a study. These five sentences are applicable everywhere.
The same is true for cultivating children, while caring for love, we must also be strict.
Here, I will briefly summarize the essence of these five sentences, and I hope you will gain something from reading them.
"Compassion does not lead the army" means that the commander of the army must not be too benevolent, otherwise it is very easy to fall into chaos, and even delay the fighters, and it is even more difficult to form a strong combat effectiveness.
"Love does not stand on things", that is, when doing great things, we should not focus on feelings, and it is best to distinguish between public and private, and not to destroy rules and systems because of feelings.
"Righteousness does not practice Jia", which means that if you are too moralistic and righteous, you are not suitable for trading. Because, this kind of person is easy to "send" the old book.
"Good is not an official", which means that people in the government should look at things calmly and rationally, and cannot be kind-hearted and used by people with bad intentions, which will then cause unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.
"Laziness does not cure learning", which means that a person with a lazy personality cannot study knowledge.
......
Huafeng can have today's achievements, how much hardship has it suffered?
Especially after the tragedy of the South China Dart Bureau, in addition to practicing martial arts more hard, he was burdened with layers of shackles and under heavy pressure.
"If you don't want to be overwhelmed by the mountain, then try your best to push it down. ”
This is the creed of Huafeng's life!
Through his continuous efforts and coincidence, he has now successfully completed two of the three goals originally set: to rebuild the South China Dart Game.
As for the last goal: to climb to the top of the martial arts.
It's also very fast, and it's only a stone's throw away from reaching the top!
......
To topple the mountain, it is obviously not possible to achieve it with determination alone, but also to have strength.
Where does the strength come from?
Luck, talent, and hard work are all indispensable.
Without any of them, it is impossible to obtain a powerful and incomparable strength! It is impossible to reach the top of the Dao!!
It is based on his own personal experience that Hua Feng did not let go of all the opportunities to sharpen everyone, including these ignorant teenagers and young girls, including this trip to the outside of the Seychelles.
......
No matter how hard the pain is, there will be a time when it will pass.
The day's arduous trek finally came to an end when Hua Feng ordered to set up camp.
The long night that everyone has been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived.
In fact, after the scorching sun moved westward, the astonishing high temperature in the desert has gradually decreased.
It is precisely from that time that heat is no longer the main problem in front of Lilac and other lowly martial artists; tiredness is the biggest obstacle!
Although the number of breaks is increasing and frequent, their strength is still quickly exhausted.
Every step of the way is obviously very strenuous.
......
Late at night.
The wind blew more and more fiercely, whistling over the felt canopy.
Fortunately, Hua Feng and other seven peerless masters did not hesitate to consume the sand wall built by internal force, which was strong enough.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, dropping by as much as 40 degrees Celsius compared to noon.
Fortunately, Liu Meng prepared a lot of warm materials, enough to keep out the cold.
Therefore, everyone slept soundly.
......
If so, three.
Three days later, the crowd had entered the desert for nearly 200 miles.
After arriving, due to the strong wind, the sand wall built by Hua Feng and others was no longer enough to resist.
After Hua Feng sent him internal force to help him recover some physical strength, Su Gaofei had to endure the fatigue and build a defensive array.
Fortunately, Huafeng had already prepared, so the array materials purchased by Liu Meng were very sufficient. Even if it's once a day, it can be used for up to a month.
Fortunately, Su Gaofei's level of formation has advanced greatly, even if he is physically and mentally exhausted, it is not too difficult to build.
......
Ten days later, everyone had gone deeper into the desert for more than 500 miles, which was the central area of the boundless desert.
After crossing a high sand ridge, a wooden house suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The four blood-red characters of "Desert Inn", the dust stirred by the wind, are flying in the wind!
The wooden house is not large, and can only accommodate 100 people.
But in the desert with very little vegetation, it is not small.
In the desert full of yellow sand, it is not easy to build an inn!
Not only is it not easy to build, but it is even more difficult to persevere.
First, the climate is harsh and difficult to hold.
Second, the supply of daily necessities such as drinking water and food is even more difficult.
......
Is it a mirage?
Everyone rubbed their eyes, pinched their faces, and checked their ...... repeatedly
Not like!
However, in the desert where the wind is strong, the sand is abundant, and the water is scarce, how can there be an inn?
How do they survive when there are few customers and there is a scarcity of living supplies?
The crowd, full of doubts, could not believe the fact that "there is an inn in the depths of the desert".
Until Hua Feng, who had opened his spiritual power, opened his mouth, everyone was still skeptical: "This inn is quite spacious, and let's rest for a few days first." ”
"Is this really an inn?" Ren Yong, who was originally weak, suddenly came to his senses!
And more than a dozen children invariably erupted in earth-shattering cheers.
......
Hua Feng, in the minds of these children, is a "god"-like existence, and they never doubt the words of the "god".
After more than ten days of arduous trekking, a group of children, as well as people with low martial arts such as Lilac, were physically and mentally exhausted to the extreme.
Even Hua Feng and the other seven peerless masters felt very uncomfortable.
The appearance of the "Desert Inn" naturally made everyone overjoyed!
......
It wasn't until they stepped into the inn and drank hot camel milk that Ren Yong and others believed: This is really an inn!
The inn is good, but the price is ridiculously expensive.
A glass of spirits, a silver tael.
A cup of camel milk, tattooed silver.
A hot meal, ten taels of silver per person.
Stay for one night, 30 taels of silver per person.
Feed a full-grown camel with plenty of water, and tattoo it with forty taels of silver......
From the above prices, it can be seen that in the depths of this desert, water is the most precious, and wine is the cheapest.
After all, anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that wine not only does not quench thirst, but requires water to quench it.
Unless there are no people who don't like to drink, who will drink in the desert?
......
Money is something outside the body, and Hua Feng and the others have never valued it.
No matter how expensive the price of the "Desert Inn" is, everyone still flocks in without hesitation. Also, be prepared to stay here for at least three days.
After subsidizing the beggars to help set up a general rudder of 15 million taels of silver, the "Xanadu" originally did not have much family background, but fortunately, the "wolf killing group" led by Tang Huaming had a great harvest in Xishuangbanna.
Only from the three major industries such as "Hungry Wolf Casino", "Werewolf Martial Arts Hall", and "Drunken Wolf Pavilion" wine shop, 100,000 taels of silver tickets were brought back!
And this trip, in order to ensure that everyone had a good time, Hua Feng also brought enough silver tickets.
After leaving 40,000 taels of silver tickets for the big housekeeper of the "Xanadu", the remaining 60,000 taels were let Liu Piaopiao, Meng Zhenzhen, Jiang Yaoyao, and Liu Meng carry them on average.
After Liu Meng's careful calculation, the daily consumption of a group of sixty-one people, plus two camels, in the "Desert Inn", was less than three thousand taels of silver. In three days, it was less than 9,000 taels, but it was slightly more than one-seventh of the total funds.
The previous consumption, such as procurement, food and accommodation, only cost more than 10,000 taels, and there are still more than 40,000 taels.
Silver taels are enough!
Feel free to stay.
......
Maybe it's because it's rare and expensive?
Maybe it's the big guy who cheats customers?
"Desert Inn" has no consciousness of "customer is God" at all, even if it is a big business of more than 60 people for three days, the shopkeeper, Xiao Er and others still ignore Hua Feng and his party.
If you ask a few more questions, you will be very impatient, and you will even have to drive people out.
If Hua Feng hadn't come forward to suppress it, Ren Yong, Liu Meng, Jiang Nannan, Meng Qingqing and others would have already fought a lot.
......
In fact, with the eyesight of Ren Yong, Meng Qingqing and others, they have already seen that the shopkeeper and junior second class of the "Desert Inn" all have martial arts, and they are not weak.
The shopkeeper, in particular, has at least reached the first-class level.
However, with such strength, in front of the heroes of "Xanadu", it is really not enough to see.
It's just a first-class master, what's there to be proud of?
The quality of the food has nothing to do with the deliciousness.
The hygiene of the room and the bed cover is extremely dirty.
Objectively speaking, in the desert, water is more precious than gold and silver treasures, where is it willing to be used to wash and cover?
Therefore, all the "Desert Inn" can provide is a shelter from the wind and sand.
......
In fact, Hua Feng and the others are helpless.
Fortunately, most of them don't need to sleep in bed, even if they have great physical exertion and need bed rest, they can use the warm materials prepared by Liu Meng.
However, when everyone first saw the "Desert Inn", the overjoyed mood was long gone.
Two days ago, Hua Feng and the others rested in their respective rooms.
The food provided by the inn was difficult to swallow, so the heroes had to consume the dry food purchased by Liu Meng.
As for drinking water, it is supplied with hot camel milk, which saves a lot.
