The three of them were half bent over, panting. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they looked at each other like this for several minutes.
Aza suddenly pointed behind me and said with a smile: "Yunfeng, you don't have to be so anxious." As he spoke, he walked behind me and bent down to pick a cactus.
Aza acted as if nothing had happened just now, and asked: "How can this thing hold water with its burrs? Don't take a sip and pierce your mouth."
My expression calmed down, I took the cactus and started making a flat pot.
After fetching water in the north of the Populus euphratica forest, the three of us continued on the road. Aza and I talked and laughed along the way.
It was also good luck that we met Boutou that evening. Boutou was very happy to see Xiaoxuan and me, but when he saw Aza's face, his face instantly darkened.
Dou Sprout was disgraced. He ran over and grabbed Aza by the collar. He punched him on the left side of his face indiscriminately. The punch was very powerful and knocked Aza unconscious. Aza backed away.
He staggered two steps and his mouth was bleeding.
Douyazai pointed at Aza and yelled: "How dare you show up, little Bizai! I'll see Master Lu kill you!"
Aza wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled and said nothing.
"How dare you laugh!" Dou Sprout was about to rush forward and hit him again, but I grabbed him.
"Yunfeng, what are you doing!"
"I also want to ask you, why are you hanging out with this kid!"
I put my arm around Dou Sprout Zai's shoulders, took him aside, and called his boss over too.
After listening to what happened, he shook his head and said: "Yunfeng, you are still too young and too greedy. In the past, countless people in our industry were cheated when they went to their graves. You should not associate with such people. Because you don't know
When will he stab me in the back?"
"Botou, what do you mean?" I patted my backpack.
"Things are very simple, but what you do is too complicated."
After finishing speaking, he slowly stepped forward and patted the ashes on Aza's shoulders. dust.
He raised his head and asked calmly: "Young man, do you know what I do?"
Aza nodded.
He raised his head and asked again: "Then do you know what I am going to tell you next?"
Aza shook his head.
"Well, listen," he said, his eyes gradually turning cold, "the things belong to us, you can get out."
Aza was stunned immediately.
"Don't understand? Okay, then I'll say it again."
"I will not pursue what happened before. As compensation, the items in Yunfeng's bag belong to us. I am Master Yunfeng and also the team leader. Don't you want to follow us to rob tombs? I don't agree."
"Did you hear that clearly?"
"That's it, get out."
Aza's face suddenly turned blue and red. He took a deep breath and said, "When I leave, aren't you afraid that I will report you to the Yinchuan Police Station?"
"Haha," he pointed his head into the distance and said, "Report? Yes, go ahead."
"I'm afraid you won't dare to show your face in Yinchuan."
"Young man, I'll give you five minutes to think about it."
At this time, the bean sprouts were throwing stones up and down, and Xiaoxuan and I were silent. Aza was the only one standing across from us, completely isolated.
"Haha," Aza suddenly laughed, turned around and left.
A few of us watched him leave.
When he was about to disappear from our sight, Aza suddenly stopped and turned around.
He stared at me expressionlessly, raised his right hand and gestured to wipe his neck.
do.
"Bit!"
Dou Sprout cursed angrily, rolled up his sleeves and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by his head.
After driving away Aza, who was ruining the atmosphere, we had time to talk about our respective experiences in the past few days.
I secretly glanced at the raw blood agate stone in my bag. Even the well-informed Boss was surprised. At the moment, I just sighed over and over again at the magic of nature. It turns out that such natural treasures do not only appear in legends.
.
So far, the only ones who know about the blood agate hidden in my bag are myself, Baotou and Xiaoxuan. They don’t tell Douyazai because this kid’s character is too outspoken. As for Qin Xingping and the guide Lao Zhang, they haven’t been there yet.
To that extent.
After chatting, I knew that they were not having a good time these days. If Lao Zhang hadn't found some water along the dry river bed during this period, the camel team probably wouldn't have been able to get here. However, after all the effort, now it only needs to go through Ala
The circular sand dunes are in an area often frequented by the Hute people, and everything is worth it.
The ring-shaped dunes in Alxa are a very magical place. There is no sand in most areas here, but there are more than a dozen ring-shaped circular sand piles. The guide said that the ring-shaped sand dunes will move and grow automatically. If someone lives in the ring,
Near the sand dunes, it is possible that the pile of sand dunes will disappear on their own after a few days, as if they have grown legs and gone to other places.
In the early years, some people called the ring-shaped sand dunes Tiansha, which means "sand falling from the sky." In fact, the sand dunes running by themselves are caused by the wind blowing when there is strong wind. There is nothing particularly mysterious about it, everyone knows it.
We spent the night near the sand dunes. After suffering for several days, it was rare that we had enough to eat and drink. We had a sleeping bag. I slept so soundly the first night since arriving in Alxa. I didn’t know what I was sleeping on. When I opened my eyes, the sky
Bright.
Seeing Lao Zhang untying the camel's reins, I yawned and said, "Good morning, Uncle Zhang, let's hurry up." We’ve arrived at the right place.”
"Yes," Lao Zhang pointed to the distance and said, "It's very close. Did you see that area? That's the area where the Special Forces Department often appears. Last time I brought reporter Xiao Gan here, I met him there too.
Hute people."
I stretched and said, "Are the Hute people easy to talk to, Uncle Zhang? Don't be as fierce as the Keya people."
"Haha," Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Hute people are much gentler than the Keya people. I have met them several times, and they also regard me as a friend. There are some young people in the tribe who have received education and can speak Mandarin.
It will be much more convenient for you to conduct interviews then."
We were talking when Qin Xingping came over.
He said: "Yes, the young man I met at the vegetable market last time was very talkative and kept smiling. I hope we can find them, otherwise our trip will be in vain."
"You can definitely do it. Brother Qin, please be more confident."
Qin Xingping looked into the distance and said, "I hope so."
The camel team had been a little too far back in the past few days, and we encountered sandstorms and thieves. Maybe things must be reversed? While a few people were talking, I suddenly saw two small black spots in the distance.
There was a telescope among the equipment we brought. I hurriedly ran over to find the telescope and look at it.
It took me several times to see clearly that in the distance there were two teenagers, maybe twelve or thirteen years old, both with flat hair, wearing trousers and small vests, using whips to herd sheep.
I immediately handed the binoculars to Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang only looked at it for two minutes and then put it down and said: "Great! Those two sheep herders are the Hute people. Did you notice how they were dressed? The men in the Hute Department, young and old, all have that hairstyle.
