The fat man put his hands in his pockets and said, "Old man, when can we set off? We're all waiting for you!"
"Then it depends on my camel. When will it be full to eat? When will it be full to drink?"
Hu Bayi heard this and said helplessly: "Then when will we be able to eat and drink enough?
"Then it's up to you"
Yang Xueli slung her leather bag across her body, "We wait for him, he waits for the camel, and the camel waits for us. What does this mean?"
"Why are you people so stupid? How can you buy food and drink without money? How can my camels be fed and drunk without food and drink?" An Liman said with a clear purpose.<
/p>
"What did I say? This old man only cares about money!" the fat man said speechlessly.
Shirley Yang smiled, money was the thing she was most in need of.
"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, it's easy to talk about it. You can leave soon, in two months!"
Yang Xueli looked a little unhappy when she heard this, "Just wait two months and the windy season will be over!"
"Yes, it's windy season now. If the wind is strong, going into the desert 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 windy season is nothing?"
"I mean I've been to the desert all year round." An Liman said, "But I've 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, I have been wasting my time here and made Fatty anxious to death.
"Why do you talk like this? Didn't I just say that you can go into the desert after the windy season!" An Liman sat back and acted shamelessly.
To put it bluntly, An Liman's rogue behavior is nothing more than two things. The same is a matter of money. On the other hand, the wind season is indeed very dangerous.
"In this case, let's stop talking nonsense. It doesn't matter whether we need this old man or not." Hu Ming said: "These camels are enough. Let's go and apply with the superiors. These camels will be confiscated to 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 try camel meat, right, Lao Hu!" The fat man chuckled.
When An Liman heard this, he was almost frightened to tears. This camel was his lifeblood, and these people actually wanted to confiscate all his camels, and they even wanted to eat the meat!
Are you all devils?
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, 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 feels really screwed today, these people are simply devils.
However, Yang Xueli smiled. Although it was not very kind to use such means to let An Liman go to the desert with her, 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.
An Liman's expression also changed after hearing this, and he looked at Hu Bayi with a hint of surprise.
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 were having a pleasant conversation. Yang Xueli told An Liman that she would pay the reward for going to the desert this time, and then pay it again when she came back. Seeing that the reward was so generous, An Liman immediately agreed.<
/p>
Soon, a few days later, An Liman carefully selected twenty camels, brought supplies and equipment, and prepared to set off
"Lao Hu, how are you preparing the things I asked you and Fatty to prepare?
"Don't worry, everything is ready."
"In addition to the same old things, especially those 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? To eat? To make a barbecue?" At this moment, the fat man discovered that the things Hu Ming asked him and Hu Bayi to buy were almost all medicinal materials.
Just asked.
"Eat shit! You just know how to eat!"
"Remember, this is a folk remedy I found. If you have time, you can pound the realgar powder, garlic powder, aroid powder and glutinous rice flour together in equal amounts and make it into a ball. After drying it, it can repel snakes." p>
"As for realgar, you can add dried angelica root to it, mix the two, and then burn it 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.
Seeing this, Hu Ming shook his head. He had a lot of these things in his space, but he didn't prepare them correctly. Moreover, these things were reimbursed, so he could save more money.
The reward for going to the nine-story demon tower has been given out 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 very excited about the reward.
Quite satisfied, he only practiced for a few days and felt that he was much stronger than before.
……
During the walk, An Liman started to introduce the current situation of the desert route to everyone based on Yang Shirley's route, so he was well prepared.
"Let me tell you, this is the most dangerous time in the desert. We need to be careful."
"Now, we need to go from Bosten Lake to the ruins of Xiye Ancient City along the lake road. This section of the road is also the most recognizable road in the desert, and it is not difficult to identify."
"If we go deeper, whether we can find the channel of the underground river depends on what Mr. Hu wants."
"You guys, you'd better pray more for Mr. Hu and let him protect you..."
"If you are afraid, pray to Mr. Hu and he can let you go back."
