Chapter 45 On the Road
The fat man put his hands in his pockets and said: "Old man, when can we set off? We are all waiting for you!"
"Then it depends on my camel. When will we eat? Are you full? Have you drunk enough?”
Hearing this, Hu Bayi said helplessly: “Then when will I be able to eat and drink enough?
“That depends on you. ”
Yang Xueli slung her leather bag across her body, "We waited for him, he waited for the camel, and the camel waited for us. What does this mean?"
"Why are you people so stupid? How can you buy food and drink without money? "How can my camel have enough to eat and drink when there is no food or drink?" Anli Mansha had a clear explanation.
"What did I say? This old man only cares about money!" the fat man said speechlessly.
Xueli Yang smiled, she was most in need of money.
“It doesn’t matter, how much does it cost? You just need to tell us when we can leave.
"As long as you have money, you can leave soon, in two months!"
Xueli Yang looked a little unhappy when she heard this, "Just wait two months, the wind season will be over!"< br>
"Yes, it's windy season now, and going into the desert when the wind is strong will kill people!" An Liman said with great emotion.
Yang Xueli said: "That's not what you said. You can enter the desert all year round, and the wind season is nothing at all?"
"I mean I can enter the desert all year round." Crossing the desert." An Liman said, "But I have never encountered a windy season."
"Old man, I told you to stop being so messy. You just want to get out of the police station as soon as possible. You didn't even think about taking us into the desert, did you?" the fat man said angrily. The old man came to the camel shed after coming out of the police station. Bian, wasting time here all the time, made the fat man anxious to death.
"Why do you talk like this? Didn't I just say that you can go into the desert after the wind season has passed!" An Liman was acting shamelessly.
To put it bluntly, An Liman is acting like a rogue, which is nothing more than two different things. It's also a question of money. On the other hand, the windy season is indeed very dangerous.
"In this case, let's not talk nonsense. It doesn't matter whether we need this old man or not." Hu Mingdao: "It's enough to have these camels. Let's go and apply with the above. These camels will be enough." It should be confiscated by us. The country attaches great importance to this archaeological operation and there is no reason to refuse it." After saying that, Hu Ming turned around and led the people to the police station.
"Yes, these camels are useless in the desert if they cannot be raised well. Let's just try the camel meat, right, Old Hu!" The fat man laughed.
When An Liman heard this, he almost cried out of fright. This camel was his lifeblood. These people actually want to confiscate all his camels, and they even want to eat the meat!
You are all Devil?
An Liman was caught by the tail, and he had to say: "Okay, okay, I promise, I promise, never take away my camel!"
"Although I agreed to go into the desert with you, but the money..." An Liman was a little unwilling.
The fat man immediately responded: "Mingzi, I think we should not use this old man, and let's go on a camel ourselves!"
Fatty is the best at this kind of thing of adding fuel to the fire and benefiting oneself at the expense of others.
"Okay, okay, just give me the money and don't take away my camel."
An Liman felt like he was really being bullied today, these people are simply devil.
However, Yang Xueli smiled. Although it was not very kind to let An Liman go to the desert with her in this way, Yang Xueli was not short of money after all and would not treat An Liman badly.
Hu Ming saw the jade pendant around An Liman's neck, and he looked at An Liman thoughtfully.
At this time, Hu Bayi also followed Hu Ming's eyes. His expression changed, and then he walked to An Liman and said something beside him.
After hearing this, An Liman's expression also changed, and he looked at Hu Bayi with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Both Shirley Yang and Fatty saw An Liman's face change drastically after hearing Hu Bayi's words, which made them both curious about what Hu Bayi had just said.
Hu Ming knew that Hu Bayi must have discovered that this old man was also a local master!
After Hu Bayi finished talking to him, Yang Shirley talked to him about the reward, and Brother Hu Ming didn't care about it.
However, it seemed that they had a pleasant conversation. Yang Xueli told An Liman that she would pay the reward for going into the desert this time, and then pay again when she came back. Seeing that the reward was so generous, An Liman immediately agreed.
Soon, a few days later, An Liman carefully selected twenty camels, brought supplies and equipment, and prepared to set off
"Old Hu, what I asked you and Fatty to prepare, How are you preparing?
“Don’t worry, everything is ready. "
"In addition to the same old thing, especially the things you reminded me of, Fatty and I also bought two large portions each, which is enough. ”
"That's good." Before setting off, Hu Ming asked Hu Bayi and Fatty to go out and buy some materials, including the commonly used realgar powder, garlic powder, aroid powder, as well as the commonly used glutinous rice powder and dried angelica. .
"I'm Mingzi, why did you ask us to buy these things so early in the morning? Food? Barbecue?" At this moment, the fat man discovered that Hu Ming asked him and Hu Bayi to buy the things. , almost all medicinal materials, so I asked about it.
“Eat it! Just know how to eat it!”
“Remember, this is a folk recipe I found. If you have time, you can mix realgar powder, garlic powder, aroid powder and glutinous rice powder Pound equal parts together into balls and dry them in the sun to repel snakes. "
"As for the realgar, you can add dried Angelica dahurica to mix the two and then burn them to repel snakes and insects. .”
"There are many snakes, insects and ants in the desert, so be careful." At this time, when Hu Ming said this, the fat man also smiled and rubbed his nose.
However, in the past few days, the barbecue in Xijiang has indeed made the fat man very happy and unsatisfied.
When he came back, he wanted to have another meal.
Hu Ming shook his head when he saw this. He had a lot of these things in his space, but he was not prepared correctly. Moreover, these things were reimbursed, so he could save more money.
The reward for going to the nine-story demon tower has been distributed a long time ago. Hu Ming’s reward this time is a breathing method called "The Marrow Cleansing Sutra". As the name suggests, the I Ching cleanses the marrow and has the effect of prolonging life. . Hu Ming was quite satisfied with this reward. After only practicing for a few days, he felt that he was much stronger than before.
...
While walking, An Liman started to introduce the current situation of the desert route to everyone based on Yang Xueli's route, so he was well prepared.
“Let me tell you, this is the most dangerous time in the desert now. We need to be careful.”
“Now, we need to go from Bosten Lake to the west along the lake road. The ruins of the ancient city of Ye, this section of the road is the most recognizable in the desert. It is not difficult to identify.”
“If you go deeper, you will have to see if you can find the channel of the underground river. What does Mr. Hu mean?”
"You guys, you'd better pray more to Mr. Hu and let him protect you..."
"If you are afraid, pray to Mr. Hu and he can let you go back."
