"If it weren't for my benefactor, I would have turned into a white skeleton in the desert."
Chun San said with red eyes.
"Thank you, Master, for saving Chun San."
The girl turned over and got off the camel again. She looked at the man in front of her who was wearing a decent round-neck shirt. His skin was soft and fair, his face was like a jade, his appearance was better than that of Pan Song, and his smile was very charming. At first glance, he could not be raised in a small family.
people.
I really don’t know how this man maintains such grace in the desert.
"Just do it casually, miss, don't worry about it.
Next week Yang, I’ve met you all.”
With a warm smile on his face, the man held his hands towards everyone.
Haruzo is obviously a good character in the team, and many people are happy because he returned to the team alive.
Naturally, everyone showed kindness to the man who saved him and returned the favor one after another.
"Young lady Chen Wen, this is the house manager of our caravan."
Young girls Chen Wen and Zhou Yang introduced.
"Miss Chen."
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "I heard that there is a Dragon Gate Inn in the desert. Next to the inn is a crescent moon lake. There is an oasis there for people to rest. I guess you Miss Chen also went there, right?
The wind and sand just came and went quickly, but now the changes in the landform make it really hard to tell the route."
“The most common terrain change in the desert is that sometimes after sleeping at night, the sand dunes turn into valleys the next day, and the valleys turn into sand dunes.
Let’s continue walking west along the route and we’ll reach Longmen Inn tomorrow.”
A man with rough and dark skin said.
Judging by his appearance and accent, he sounded like an old desert man.
"oh?"
Zhou Yang heard this and took a look at the caravan, which looked like thirty people.
He casually took out a silver ingot the size of his thumb, threw it to the guide, and said to Chen Wen: "Miss Chen, you don't mind if I follow your caravan."
"Relying on parents at home and relying on friends when going out. In such an environment, of course we should help each other."
Chen Wen said.
However, Butler Lou's eyes were a little solemn.
It's not that I doubt Zhou Yang, the demeanor of the man in front of me is not like those moles in the dark night.
But the person in front of me was clean and tidy, and except for a small brown gourd tied around his waist, there was nothing else.
With one more person, there is only one water hyacinth left in the convoy, which is not enough in the first place.
He had just been thinking that if the water was really not enough, he would decisively abandon some people on the way and ensure that the young lady could reach Longmen Inn smoothly.
"In that case, let's continue on the road. The sun is really hot."
Zhou Yang said with a smile.
Speaking of the hot sun, the girl Chen Wen suddenly noticed that she was sweating all the time under the scorching sun. No matter how clean she was, she couldn't take a shower because of the lack of water in the team.
It was sticky and greasy. Although I didn't smell any peculiar smell, I felt uncomfortable all over.
but,
This Mr. Zhou didn’t even have any sweat stains on his body.
That way, you don't feel like a traveler in the desert, but more like enjoying yourself in the courtyard of your home.
"What a strange man!"
Chen Wen thought in surprise.
When the team began to trek further, she sat between the camel's humps, and she still felt strange in her heart, whether her eyes were glancing at him quietly, observing silently.
"Manager Lou, is our caravan going to Tianzhu to do business?"
Zhou Yang walked to the housekeeper and chatted about this and asked.
"Oh? How did the little brother see it?"
Housekeeper Lou asked a little strangely.
"There are only seven countries that you have visited through this desert. Your cargo contains porcelain, silk, tea, and a considerable amount of paint for Buddha statues. In addition to our Xia Kingdom, these are Tianzhu.
The nobles of the country liked it."
Zhou Yang pointed to the paint in the goods and said.
"My little brother is really discerning and knowledgeable. We are going to Tianzhu to do business. When we get there, we will sell these goods and buy spices and jade. We can earn a lot of money every time we come back."
Housekeeper Lou touched his goatee and said with a smile.
"The manager of the building is old and has been doing business all year round. He must be well-informed. Have you ever heard of or seen some strange people and strange things?
I have been interested in these things since I was a child..."
Chen Wen, who was riding on the camel, listened to Zhou Yang's words, but was muttering in his heart.
For a while, she quietly observed him, but she saw that he was walking briskly in the desert, among the soft Xisha. Others would have one foot deep and one foot shallow, but he only left a thin
Not even a grain of gravel was poured into his shoes.
Isn't this man a strange person himself?
While listening to Mr. Zhou talking to the building manager, he quietly observed him.
Before you know it, the sun has already reached the zenith, and it has become even more scorching, making people dizzy and sweating profusely. It is as if they have been placed on a barbecue grill, trying to drain all the oil from their bodies.
It looks like it’s grilled!
The light gauze was breathable and blocked the sun, but it was still soaked with sweat and became uncomfortable to stick to the body.
"Take a rest, I really can't hold it anymore!"
"Zi Yuan fainted!"
The team behind was confused.
It turned out that someone was left behind, and a female maid fainted.
Chen Wen looked back and said to Butler Lou: "Stop and take a rest, and wait for the people behind you."
"OK."
Housekeeper Lou responded, then called a young man next to him and asked him to run to the front to deliver the message.
Soon, the team stopped.
Everyone rests where they are.
The person took out some dried meat, stuffed it into his mouth, moistened it with saliva, and then chewed it slowly.
Some people looked at the water hyacinth, but they were blocked by the housekeeper: "No one wants to buy water. If we drink it all now, we will never survive the Longmen Inn!"
Drinking water is not allowed here, and someone has already taken out a shriveled water bag, and went to the side to untie his belt and urinate.
"Housekeeper Lou, give Zi Yuan some water."
Over there, the young man came over supporting Zi Yuan, who had fainted, was pinched and then woke up slowly, with a weak face.
Housekeeper Lou looked at the water hyacinth and frowned: "Ma Si, it's not that someone in my building is unreasonable, it's actually that this water hyacinth is everyone's life now. If this water hyacinth opens, maybe we will never get out of this place.
It’s a desert.”
Housekeeper Lou was covering the water hyacinth to prevent anyone from getting close to it.
"But, Ziyuan will die if she doesn't drink some water!"
Ma Si said sadly and angrily.
"I still have..."
As soon as Chen Wen picked up his shriveled kettle, he was stopped by the housekeeper: "Life and death matter..."
"I still have some water here. If you don't mind it, this little brother can get some water from a kettle."
Next to Butler Lou, Zhou Yang suddenly patted the small gourd on his waist and said.
