Chapter 246
I asked, can this water be drunk if it is so dirty? Don’t make the camel suffer from diarrhea.
Aji explained: "It doesn't matter. Camels in the desert can drink any dirty water. As long as they don't drink it for a long time, they'll be fine."
Aji is from Hute and has rich experience in living in this area all year round. Since he said the camels were ready to drink, we didn’t say anything, so we let go of the reins and let them drink.
Camels can really drink. I feel that camels are the best drinkers among land animals. They kept drinking for more than half an hour, and it was estimated that a camel drank one to two hundred kilograms.
Seeing that the camels kept drinking so much dirty water, Aji said with some worry: "Camels are very sensitive to water sources. Now they drink so much, which means that there is no fresh water in a large part of the area. For safety reasons, everyone Check the water source."
Dou Sprout checked them one by one and loudly said that the water was fine and enough for twenty days.
"Wait, don't leave yet." Aji noticed something was going on. He suddenly pointed into the water and said, "Then...are those bones?"
I was leading the camel about ten meters away, but when I heard this, I hurriedly ran back to take a look.
The camel drank a lot of water, causing the water level to drop. I could see some vague long white objects at the bottom of the water. The water was quite dark, so I couldn't see it unless I looked carefully.
When Aji said it looked like bones, our faces turned ugly.
Dou Sprouts found a rotten branch, poked it through the water, and picked up a piece.
Yellow and white, it’s nothing but bones!
It's the bones of a dead man!
"Damn... Leng Bu Ding scared me," Dou Sprout cursed and got two more pieces with a branch.
I looked at my head and wondered, "Are these the ones we buried? Who threw them here!"
Xiaoxuan asked Aji if it was someone else in your tribe who did it after we left.
"No," Aji shook his head and said, "The cave dwellings we live in are all in the west, and the sheep are grazed near the Crescent Oasis. Usually, almost no one goes to the east, and it takes several days to walk."
Dou Sprout held his chin and said to himself: "That's strange. No one comes to the place where birds don't poop. Could it be that those bones move on their own?"
"Stop guessing, let's get out of here first." The sun was about to set, and he looked around and said, "It doesn't look like there is a city site nearby. Let's go forward and find a sheltered place to eat and spend the night."
After saying that, he turned his head and asked Uncle Hulu where he should go.
The sun was about to set, and Uncle Hu Lu pointed at the dark red horizon in the distance and said a few words.
Aji nodded while listening: "Uncle said that more than an hour's walk ahead, there is a big stone with a very smooth surface. We can spend the night there."
Nodding his head, he said yes and listened to Uncle Hulu's arrangements.
When we arrived at the place, we took a look and saw a large stone of seven or eight meters protruding from the desolate hard sand. It may have been blown by the wind, but the surface of the stone was very clean.
In the desert, there are usually only small stones except sand. It was strange to see such a big stone suddenly.
We hurriedly hurried slowly, and finally put up tents and made a fire before dark. We ate dry food and drank water around the fire at night, and burned the hay and branches we picked up to make thunder. No one said anything, everyone was enjoying Allah. Enjoy this moment of tranquility in the desert.
Uncle Hu Lu was lying on the stone with his legs crossed, and he was just staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.
Suddenly, he turned his head and said a few words to Aji.
"What are you talking about, Aji?" I asked.
Aji said: "Uncle said he remembered a friend of his when he was a child. At that time, they were just like they are now, lying on the rocks and watching the stars."
Douyazai yelled: "Friends from childhood? Male or female? If it's a female, you came here two nights to look at the stars. There's a story there."
Uncle Hu Lu looked at him and grinned, showing his big teeth.
