However, when I walked up to the camel, I suddenly realized that the camel had bells hanging around its neck. If the camel got up directly, the bell would be jingling. If the three people heard the bell ringing, they would definitely run over.
Thinking of this, I asked everyone not to worry, and then asked Sister Yuan and Xiaoye to wait nearby. A few of us men began to remove the bells from the camel's neck. I reminded them in a low voice that they must remove them gently to avoid making any noise.
While removing the bell, Sister Yuan seemed to remember something, and she suddenly asked me: "Didn't you just say that there was a woman among the three of us? Is she the one who wanted to share a room with Xiao Ye and scold Xiao Ye before?"
I said it wasn't her. She almost always tried to break up the fight, but she was quite nice.
Zhao Hu also asked Sister Yuan if she would go up and slap her twice if it was the short-haired girl who was the culprit. Sister Yuan said that was not the case and she had to vent her anger on Xiaoye before leaving.
Of course, Sister Yuan said so, but I know that if it gets to that point, she will definitely listen to me and sneak away first. She is not as impulsive as Zhao Hu.
After removing the bell, I breathed a sigh of relief, then put the bell into a cloth bag, and then lightly kicked the leading camel. As long as the leading camel gets up, the others will follow.
Maybe because I was weak, the leading camel didn't get up. When Zhao Hu saw this, he kicked him hard. He didn't even think about kicking him, and the camel opened his mouth and screamed.
The camel's cry was like a whistle, extremely high-pitched and penetrating. The three members of the archaeological team must have heard the camel's cry.
I also heard the gentle man shouting: "Camel, camel! The camel is barking, there is a camel over there!"
The old professor also said excitedly: "Hurry over there, it might be our camel team!"
Immediately afterwards, I heard a series of footsteps running in the desert. They were obviously running towards us.
Zhao Hu also looked confused at this time. When he was done, he gave everyone an apologetic smile. He also tried to get the other camels to get up and run away, but I knew it would be too late to run away.
They were only a few dozen meters away from us, and they could come over in the blink of an eye. When people came over, not all the camels would be able to stand up. They even said that they should abandon the camels and run away first, and hide later.
I said: "In this desert, abandoning the camel will only lead to death. Besides, all the supplies and other supplies are on the camel. It is definitely impossible to run. And even if we just abandon the camel and run now, there is not enough time."
Zhao Hu glanced at Jian Zui with disdain and said: "Run away, they are just three old, weak, sick and disabled people. At worst, we will punish them and tell them to get out. If it doesn't work, we will kill them. There are so many of us." Can you be scared enough to run away from them?"
I reminded Zhao Hu that we should not harm others if we can. After all, we are here to rob graves, not kill people.
Then I told the others: "Remember, when they ask about it later, just tell them that we are here to find someone, and when they are in front of you, you must be careful when getting supplies and other things, so as not to let them find out and rob the tomb." Any relevant tools, otherwise the identity will definitely be exposed."
As soon as I said this, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the sand dune above my head. When I looked up, there were already three people standing on the sand dune. It was the gentle old professor and the gentle older woman.
The three of them were obviously shocked when they saw us.
But while they were shocked, it could be seen that they were a little happy. It is estimated that the previous sandstorm had just made them experience despair. At this time, the camels had no teammates and they suddenly encountered a fully armed camel team, even if they had experienced it before Contradiction, they must also be happy.
"Oh, it's you." The gentle woman spoke first.
I was afraid that others would spill the beans, so I quickly said, "Is it you? Why are you here?"
The gentle girl said: "We are an archaeological team here for inspection. We encountered a sandstorm a few hours ago and got separated from our teammates. I just heard a camel barking here. I thought it was our camel, but I didn't expect it was you."
As she said this, she asked why we were here.
Naturally, I followed what I had said in advance, saying that we were looking for people in the desert, and were about to go to the Tutu Lake Oasis when we encountered a sandstorm.
At this time, the old professor walked down with the support of the two people, and said as he walked: "That's such a coincidence, we were originally going to the Tutu Lake Oasis."
After all, there had been conflicts before, and the three of them looked a little embarrassed when they came down.
The gentle woman also apologized: "I'm really sorry for what happened before. We went to you to ask for a room that night. It was indeed our lack of consideration."
The old professor also smiled and nodded at us, asking us not to remember what happened before.
Zhao Hu muttered angrily: "It's because you know we are going to be used, so you speak so nicely now, right?"
I asked Zhao Hu not to say that. After all, when they had conflicts before, the attitudes of these three people were still very gentle, especially the gentle woman and the old professor. They had always been trying to break up the fight and try to ease the conflict.
Seeing that Zhao Hu was not very friendly, the old professor said a lot of good things and said that they needed help now. If we could provide some help, he would be willing to give us a high reward.
"Do I care about your reward?" Zhao Hu didn't appreciate it.
The old professor probably thought I was easier to talk to, so he looked at me in embarrassment and tried to ask me to help ease the relationship. Naturally, I winked at Zhao Hu and asked him to stop talking.
Then, I asked the old professor about their situation.
They also set out on camels a few days ago, and their team was much larger than ours. In addition to the seven members of their archaeological team, there was also a general guide, who also had two assistants.
In addition, they were accompanied by comrades from relevant local departments, plus journalists and others, and their entire expedition team consisted of fifteen people.
They were about to arrive at the Tutu Lake Oasis, but suddenly dark clouds came over the sky, and then there was a sandstorm. In the sandstorm, the three of them got separated from the team, and then they came here in a daze and met us.
Jianzui also said at this time: "Didn't your guide tell you that when the sandstorm comes, you should stay in place to avoid the sand. How could you still be separated? Didn't you hide together at that time?"
The old professor sighed: "Originally we planned to hide together, but the wind was too strong. One comrade was blown down the sand dune. Others rushed to save him. Anyway, the situation was very chaotic and the wind was too strong. The whirring sound was like thunder, and they couldn't communicate with each other, so they had no time to communicate and eventually got separated."
"Then don't you feel cold?" Xiaoye asked.
When she asked, I also reacted.
When the evil wind first started blowing, it was very cold. We solved the problem by using chicken blood to drive away evil spirits. How did they solve it?
The old professor said: "It's cold, it must be cold. We all had quilts wrapped around us, and we were almost frozen. Fortunately, after the wind passed, the temperature recovered."
Zhao Hu curled his lips and said, "Then you are not that good as a guide. You even brought two assistants and the team got separated."
The old professor sighed, not knowing what to say.
I said that since it was all over, I wouldn’t mention it anymore, and I asked him what he planned next.
The old professor said: "We definitely want to go to Tutu Lake Oasis. Since you also want to go to Tutu Lake Oasis, let's go together?"
