After Taohuaji left, we moved the camping site to another place. Although we won the conflict tonight, I had a vague feeling that Taohuaji was not a kind person. It is always better to be careful.
of.
Early the next morning, I was about to catch up on my sleep when I was suddenly woken up by Zhou Xiaoshe.
Last night, I, Niu Jianguo, and Qin Shisan took turns keeping vigil. Now I finally managed to get some sleep, but who knew that this bastard would drag me up again.
"Old man, guess what I saw when I went to pee just now?" Zhou Xiaoshe winked at me.
"Have you seen the fairy? If not, I suggest you prepare for a beating." I said sleepily.
"Hehe, in this desolate desert, there are fairies to use as wool. The things I saw are much more useful than fairies."
Zhou Xiaoshe forcibly pulled me to the side. After a few minutes, Zhou Xiaoshe pushed me to the ground, pointed to the front and said, "Look."
I looked closely and saw several rows of poplar trees growing sparsely in the distance, but most of them were withered. And beside the poplar trees, there seemed to be a few camels with pure white fur...
"Why are there camels here??" I immediately opened my eyes and my sleepiness was gone.
"I don't know. It's strange. They are all white camels. Let alone you, I have never seen such a beautiful camel..."
Zhou Xiaoshe was amazed, and I couldn't help but be surprised. Next to the poplar tree in front, there was really a group of white camels with pure coats, elegantly gnawing on the dying poplar leaves. There were almost a dozen of them, and there were no cushions on the humps.
and rope, apparently a herd of wild camels.
It is definitely a rare thing to see wild camels in the desert, and right now we just lack the tools to travel. It would be great if we could catch a few white camels to travel.
I said calmly: "Niubi, go and call Qin Shisan and Lao Muti over. Lao Muti must know how to catch a camel."
Zhou Xiaoshe was so excited that she quickly turned around and went to find Qin Shisan.
I continued to stare at the white camels in front of me. My eyes were almost straight. I wanted to take them all back and raise them. It was a pleasure to look at them every day.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came from behind. When I looked back, I couldn't help but be stunned.
I originally asked Zhou Xiaoshe to call Lao Muti and Qin Shisan, but I didn't expect that Niubi actually called everyone over, and no one was missed. Even Nie Xiaobai and Bai Yu came, as if they were not with the group.
Like a country boy who has seen the world.
Zhou Xiaoshe blushed and said, "I didn't want to either. I just said I was going to catch the white camels, but they all came."
I rolled my eyes, and I could only believe half of Niubi's words. I thought that if you didn't say something with a loud mouth, this is simply not your style.
Bai Yu and Nie Xiaobai's beautiful eyes flashed, and when they looked at the white camel in front of them, they couldn't take their eyes away.
"Sister Bai Yu, look, what a beautiful camel."
Bai Yu also looked happy and said: "This is the first time I have seen such beautiful camels. Mr. Chen, why are they here?"
I shook my head and said, "It should be a group of wild camels, but I didn't expect to see them here."
Lao Muti came over, with a look of shock in his eyes.
He stared at the white camel in front of him for a long time, looking a little excited.
"It is said that the white camel was a special mount for the nobles of the ancient Loulan Kingdom. I didn't expect that I would still see it in my lifetime," Lao Mu said.
For Lop Nur people like Lao Muti, the Loulan Ancient Kingdom is undoubtedly their past glory. Now seeing the white camel that symbolizes the Loulan Ancient Kingdom, it is natural to be excited.
Batur also looked forward to it, wishing he could rush up and grab a little white camel to ride on.
I grabbed Batur, who was about to make a move, and then said to Lao Mu: "You are from Lop Nur, so you should have a way to capture camels."
"There are ways, but that method used to catch ordinary camels. Now these white camels were ridden by the nobles of the ancient Loulan Kingdom. They are very spiritual, so I'm afraid they will be difficult to catch." Lao Mu mentioned.
I thought for a moment, I couldn't let the fat I got fly away.
"Let's give it a try. It would be good to catch one or two. At least they can help us carry some water." I said.
Lao Muti nodded in agreement, then rubbed his hands, asked Zhou Xiaoshe for a rope, tied it into a knot, and prepared to use it to tie the camel's neck...
Before Lao Muti took action, I asked Qin Shisan and Niu Jianguo to go around to the back of the white camel to prevent them from running away from the other side after being alarmed.
When everything was ready, Lao Muti touched it quietly. He had two or three ropes in his hand. According to our plan, if we can rope two or three white camels, we would be done.
Lao Muti did have experience. He pressed his body to the ground. When the white camel was eating poplar leaves, there happened to be a blind spot in his sight. Lao Muti followed this blind spot and slowly approached the white camel...
Everyone held their breath and watched Lao Muti's movements.
Two seconds later, suddenly, without waiting for Lao Muti to take action, a cry came from the group of white camels.
"Oops, I've been discovered." I muttered something bad.
Lao Muti stood up quickly and threw the rope in his hand, but unfortunately only the smallest white camel was tied to the three knots. As for the dozen adult white camels, none of them were caught...
"Grandma, you are such a bear. What kind of luck is this? It's too embarrassing." Zhou Xiaoshe said in despair.
Among the people on the scene, only Batur smiled when he saw that Lao Muti had only trapped a little white camel. After all, the little white camel could only carry him...
Lao Muti didn't expect that he would miss, and he couldn't help but panic.
The white camels turned around and were about to run away, but fortunately, Niu Jianguo and Qin Shisan blocked their way in time.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoshe and I quickly surrounded him from the front.
Suddenly, more than a dozen white camels gathered in the middle, staring at us in fear, and the little white camel trapped in the old wooden bag let out a sad cry...
"Boss, I only caught a small one." Lao Muti said with shame. He was an expert at catching camels. This was the first time in his life that he failed, which was undoubtedly a big blow to him.
Lao Muti pulled the little camel in front of me. I took a closer look. The little camel had just learned to walk. There was a bit of fear in its round eyes. Compared with ordinary camels, this camel was obviously much whiter.
A bit spiritual, the pitiful eyes look like a helpless child at first glance, which makes people feel unbearable...
