"Yunfeng, I advise you, when you are away from home, be friendly and make money. If you have money, we can make it together. In order to show my sincerity, I will show you something good."
Aza looked around and saw no one was around. He opened his backpack and took out a black plastic bag.
Open the plastic bag and reveal the contents.
It is an irregularly shaped black stone.
In the light of the fire, the inside of the black stone glowed faintly with red light, as if there were blood vessels growing inside the stone.
"This...this is...Alxa Blood Agate?"
Aza took action instantly and wrapped the stone so that he wouldn't show it again.
He smiled and said: "As long as I can participate and get a share of the pie, you will get a share of this stone when it is sold. The price is beyond your imagination. Now there is the entire underground black market in Yinchuan outside, including those big-nosed jewelers."
, are all looking for this rough stone."
"how?
"This is my sincerity."
I was shocked at first sight of this thing. It looked a bit like blood amber, but I knew that this thing was far rarer than blood amber.
I don’t know how this piece of blood agate got into the hands of this guy. In the early years, a senior in the antique shop gave this genius and treasure a name, called it a fine product.
Like Tian Huangshi, there are yellow fields, white fields, black fields, red fields, and light yellow fields. There are also yellow fields. Loquat yellow, orange peel yellow, honey yellow, chicken oil yellow, osmanthus yellow, ripe chestnut yellow, soap yellow, and tung oil yellow.
, and that essence refers to Tianhuang Jing, which is the highest grade product in Tianhuang. It is said that the Tianhuang triple seal, the most precious treasure of the Forbidden City, is made of Tianhuang essence. Undoubtedly, the raw blood agate stone in Aza's hand is also of this grade.
Fine goods.
Anyone who understands this will find it difficult not to be moved by this piece of blood agate. I was no exception and became greedy.
"Aza, if you want me to believe you before I tell you something ugly..." I pointed at the plastic bag and said, "I have to keep this thing on the road."
"No problem, I knew you would say that, so we agreed in advance that it's yours to keep the things, but in the end it's still mine, it's just your share."
I nodded and said yes and took the backpack.
The next day, Xiaoxuan woke up and saw Aza and I like this. She rubbed her eyes and couldn't believe it.
"I read that right...you two..."
Aza and I are now as good as brothers.
Aza put his arm around my shoulders and said with a smile: "Beauty, Yunfeng and I became good brothers last night. The past has been wiped out. Now the three of us are grasshoppers on the same rope. Yunfeng promised me to join you."
It’s a gang.”
Everyone in Xiaoxuan was dumbfounded.
I also hugged Aza and nodded: "Yes, from now on we will be good brothers, sharing blessings and suffering together."
Aza and I looked at each other and smiled. We both knew one thing.
The other person has something hidden in his heart.
This ghost hasn't shown up yet because it's not time yet.
After eating the dry food, I took out the sheepskin map and studied it for a while, and finally determined the approximate direction to go.
Ordinary maps don't work in the desert, but the one the Kayaks gave me was different. For example, in the place we passed before, a bottle tree was drawn on the sheepskin map. A few kilometers further west from the bottle tree, a few more were drawn.
There is a Poplar euphratica tree. The map is very accurate. We rested here last night at the Poplar euphratica tree.
From the map, you can see an oasis going west. That oasis is probably the Crescent Oasis that the guide Zhang said. After walking through the oasis, you will reach the Paba Circular Sand Dunes, which is the final destination. If you reach the Paba Sand Dunes, you can still look for it.
If there is no sign of the Hute people, then we may have no choice but to return home.
Aza walked in front, Xiaoxuan and I were behind him.
"What's going on? Why did you agree to take him? That kid is not a good person," Xiaoxuan and I walked side by side, complaining softly on the way.
Seeing that Aza couldn't hear us talking, I whispered: "Of course I know, I just lied and promised him."
"Then...let's..." Xiaoxuan made a gesture of wiping her neck.
"You dare to do it?"
Xiaoxuan gritted her teeth and said, "This place is deserted. Even if we do it, if you don't tell me and I don't tell, no one will know."
I said Xiaoxuan, you are awesome, I don’t dare to kill anyone, I have other plans.
"What are you two mumbling over there? If you don't leave quickly, what if we encounter a sandstorm?"
"I'm coming."
After walking for more than two hours, I could see a lot more poplar trees in front of me from a distance. Taking a deep breath, it seemed that the dry air had a touch of moisture.
"That's the oasis marked on the map, let's go quickly," Aza turned around and joked loudly: "It feels like the three of us are like the third apprentice in Journey to the West. I am the eldest apprentice, little beauty, you are the second apprentice, and Yunfeng you are the third apprentice.
Apprentice, it’s just right to be a master when someone is older.”
Xiaoxuan picked up a stone and threw it, "Who are you scolding? You are the second senior brother, you are the pig!"
Aza chuckled and was thinking of saying a few flirty words when his expression suddenly changed and he ran forward quickly.
When I arrived at the place, I saw a row of camel footprints on the ground and a plastic bag that looked new, as if it had just been thrown away.
"They are the leaders!"
"Definitely is!"
I was a little excited when I saw the row of camel footprints. They were most likely left by our camel team. Besides us, who else would come to this desolate desert after having enough food and nothing to do.
Aza squatted down and looked at the footprints and said: "There was no wind last night. It seems that these footprints were left last night. They have many people and many camels, so they can't move fast. We can catch up now if we travel lightly."
I shook my head and said: "Don't worry, we finally arrived near the oasis. We need to replenish the water source no matter what. We split up. The air here is humid and the poplar trees grow so well. There must be water. Aza, go and find out where there is water. I and I
Xiaoxuan went to find cactus to make some kettles."
Aza asked me: "Didn't you bring water with you when you left the Kaya tribe?"
"That's not enough. I didn't bring much. There's no need to delay. If we continue to delay, the camel team may wander away again. Hurry up."
"Okay, I'll go for a walk around the area and meet up in an hour." After he finished speaking, he walked towards the south.
"Yunfeng, wait for me, why are you leaving so fast?"
I didn't care about talking and pulled Xiaoxuan forward quickly.
"Aren't we looking for a cactus?"
"Look for a damn cactus," I looked back and said, "Let's go find the leader and let the kid find water by himself."
Xiaoxuan realized this and trotted after me.
As I ran, I looked back to see if Aza's roots had come up.
I'm carrying a backpack, and there's that piece of blood agate in the bag. No one cares about that boy's life or death. That boy caused us such misery that he got lost while looking for water.
Jogging all the way, we gradually entered the hinterland of the oasis.
"I...I can't run anymore. That kid probably didn't follow me, right?" Xiaoxuan panted and bent over and said.
I looked back and saw no one.
Just then.
"Hey!" A voice suddenly came from in front of me.
I saw Aza sweating profusely, standing fifty meters in front of me and shouting: "You... you two are running very fast."
