Chapter 59: Temporary rest
“Put it on him, don’t mess with him.”
Both of them listened to Hu Ming. They had no choice but to listen. There was danger coming. They can't stop it. It's just that the anger in his heart can't go away. The old man An Liman keeps saying that he is a brother, breaking the bones and connecting the sutras, but he has no plans to leave a backup plan.
An Liman is a cunning old fox, very cunning, otherwise he would have died in the desert long ago.
"Uncle Anliman hid several water bags of horse wine, water, and two water bags."
Sa Dipeng went to the fat man to complain. When the fat man heard this, he became furious and said to Yang Shirley: "Miss Yang, did you hear what the glasses said? That old fox An Liman and many horses* *Wine and water, we are so thirsty that we are going to kill his camel, but he still won’t take it out?”
Yang Xueli finally understood, no wonder An Liman never left his camel bag, everyone He was short of water and almost dying of thirst. The old man often drank from the water bag. It turned out that he had saved a hand.
"When we go back, we will deduct half of his salary."
"No, we have to deduct all of it."
The fat man has no dealings with An Liman. An Liman was even more annoyed now, so he instigated Yang Xueli to deduct An Liman's remuneration, but Yang Xueli would not do such a thing.
"Okay, fat man, I've known about this for a long time, but the water and wine were all prepared by An Liman himself. Why should he share them with us? Besides, there are so many of us, and he only has so much. The horse wine and water are not enough for us.”
The fat man saw An Liman coming out carrying water in a folding bucket from a distance of more than 20 meters, and wanted to rush over to repair him, but was stopped by Hu Ming. He was caught and stopped.
"Brother Hu Ming is right, Fat Brother, forget it, stop bullying Uncle An Liman." Ye Yixin was innocent and could not bear to see the old An Liman being repaired by the fat man. He said quickly.
“Yes, Xiaoye.”
The fat man nodded dissatisfiedly to Ye Yixin and said, “You are so thirsty that you are lying on the desert to death. If Mingzi hadn’t kept a backup plan, you would have been thirsty. He's dead, but can the old man An Liman give you some water at that time? You still speak for him now."
"I" Ye Yixin didn't know what to say when he heard this.
“Okay, Fatty, I said we all just pretended not to know about this. You have so many things to do, why didn’t you prepare more water before? Even Lao Hu knows to bring some fruit. "What about you?" Hu Ming glared at the fat man, what was he yelling about?
There were still more than a dozen buckets of pure water in Hu Ming’s space. When the fat man scolded An Liman, Hu Ming felt uncomfortable listening to him.
On the way, it was not that Hu Ming was unwilling to get water, but that people would be suspicious if he suddenly took out so much water. Therefore, Hu Ming would never take out any more water until he reached the last step.
He doesn’t want to expose the system space!
The fat man Zhiqu nodded, "Yes, for Mingzi's sake, I won't argue with him."
"What are you talking about, friend." An Liman came over with water. , when he saw that everyone had shut up and said nothing, he had a bad feeling that these people were talking bad about him.
Don't tell me, this feeling is really accurate!
"Ah, we didn't say anything. Uncle An Liman, are you fetching water for the camels?" Ye Yixin felt a little guilty and hurriedly chuckled.
Then Xiang Qiaoxi winked at Hu Ming and pouted slightly.
What do you mean?
Why is this little girl pouting at me for nothing? Is it a hint?
Hu Ming is a little unsure, you can say a hint, everyone is here, he can What are you doing?
But this girl’s little mouth is no worse than that girl named Huo!
“Yes, girl, my camels haven’t had any water for almost a week. I need to replenish the water source for the camels and give them a bath. Please help me. The camels can only be ridden when they are well. You go find Jingjue Ancient City.”
An Liman was a little speechless. Everyone rode camels, but no one helped him take care of the camels along the way, and they always wanted to kill the camels. He felt that except for Hu Ming and Hu Bayi, the others in this group were all A bunch of idiots.
"Sa Di Peng and Chu Jian, help to fetch water and satisfy the old man and his camels."
Hu Ming felt that An Liman was right and he agreed with it. , then he looked sideways at Sa Di Peng and Chu Jian and said, "It's not you who do the hard work of fetching water, who does it?
This? Sa Di Peng and Chu Jian were a little dawdling, from then on. It is very laborious to fetch a bucket of water from the well. You need to use a hanging rope and then lift it outside.
How tiring this is. We are very tired now.
"Why bother? You still want to ride a camel? If you don't want to fetch water to serve the camels, stop riding the camels and walk on your own. If you can't keep up with us, just wait to fall behind."
Hu Ming didn't give the two of them any chance to choose, and directly made the consequences clear.
The two of them had no choice but to stand up and go to fetch water for the camels to drink and bathe the camels. They complained in their hearts that it was our turn to do the hard work. We are literary scholars.
"Fat old Hu, don't sit around and smoke. Come and set up a tent with me quickly. Light up the fire to cook for Yang Shirley and Ye Yixin. Don't be lazy and work hard. , how about you don’t always let others take orders?”
After coming here for a while...
The camels were full of water and had taken a bath. They were eating bean cakes there. An Liman sat down next to Hu Ming with a horse-drawn wine and said, "Hu Ming's friend." , I’ll treat you to some horse wine, friends, let’s drink together if we have any.”
Looking at the wine bag handed over by An Liman, Hu Ming shook his head.
He really couldn’t get used to drinking this stuff. It had a strong milky, sour and spicy taste mixed with a bit of wine, but Sa Di Peng, Chu Jian and Fatty especially liked it. When they first entered the desert, they I often asked An Liman for help.
"Old man, we are very tired of fetching water for you, please give us something to drink."
Chu Jian came over and beat his arms, looking very tired, staring at the wine bag in An Liman's hand.
I fetched so much water for the old man, you have to give me something to drink, right?
“My friend, the horse wine is gone, and it’s not enough for me to drink.” An Li poured out the wine. Hu Ming was speechless as he hugged Bao Bao into his arms, as if he was afraid of being snatched by Chu Jian.
This old man seems to be kind to Hu Bayi except himself. No one else can get his things.
This damn old man is too stingy. He complained in his heart. Chu Jian smiled awkwardly, slowly retracted his hand, sat next to Wang Yang and said: "Brother Hu Ming, look Sister Yang and Xiaoye are back.”
Yang Xueli and Ye Yixin came over with big bundles of wood in their arms, smiling broadly.
Crack.
Yang Xueli said to several people: "These wood and solid fuel are enough to burn for one night, and it can also save solid fuel."
"There are many more over there, but there are no tools. "Cut"
Yang Xueli pointed to the left, asking Hu Bayi and Hu Ming to get some thick ones back.
Without tools, the two girls could only pick up some small branches, but if they were not burned, they would be burned out in a short time. Well, the three brothers Hu Ming had to take action.
Hu Bayi and Fatty went to cut down Populus euphratica. Hu Ming stepped on the branches and cut them into pieces.
Then a bonfire was built.
Xueli Yang set up a tripod on the campfire and placed a pot on it.
"Xiaoye, pour water."
"Okay, Sister Yang." Ye Yixin poured water into the pot, put the bucket aside, picked up a few pieces of wood and added it to the fire, acting as Yang Xueli's assistant.
