We drank tea for more than an hour, and Feng Bao and Kaxi came back.
When they entered the yard again, all the camels in the pen were let out, four in total.
There were a lot of things piled on the ground, including more than a dozen bulging backpacks, tents, moisture-proof mats, and walking sticks.
Moreover, there were people at the gate of the courtyard who were moving things in one after another. Under Kasai's command, they tied backpacks, tents, and other related items to the backs of camels.
Feng Baoze explained to me in a low voice what was in the backpack and told me that those items were all necessary items for traveling in the desert.
After Feng Bao finished explaining, it took another half an hour, and the four camels were already full of goods.
Finally, Feng Baocai discussed with me in a low voice, saying that he and Feng Jun also planned to accompany us, but they knew that they could not hold back and would only stop after arriving at Sha Town.
After a pause, Feng Bao's voice became even lower, saying that he was afraid of other accidents and mistakes, so they felt relieved together. If something went wrong, there would be big trouble in the desert. With them here, they would at least be asking for help. In terms of safety, it can provide an extra guarantee.
The old deaf man was standing not far from me. When Feng Bao said this, he only glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
I had already seen the old deaf man's secret and his character. Feng Bao's suggestion made me think deeply and did not answer immediately.
After a while, Kasai arrived in front of me. He said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, that's it. There are still some camels at the old deaf man's place. I'll carry the goods, and his camels will carry you. Let's set off now. What's the point? If you have some time, you should be able to walk quite a distance. I heard from Feng Bao that you are in a hurry." "Yes, you can go."
Kasai and I nodded, then glanced at Feng Bao, and said: "If there is something that I think is more dangerous, I will let you return. However, if you can get to Sha Town, you can only go there and not enter again. Burial place." Feng Bao was obviously more excited and nodded repeatedly.
Feng Jun on the side also looked excited.
Kasai immediately made a sign with the old deaf man, then took out a notebook, scrawled a few words on it, and handed it to the old deaf man to read.
Feng Baoze went to get the last backpack on the ground. After opening it, there were still a lot of things in it.
Mainly shoes and socks, but also things like headscarves and hats.
He briefly explained to me a few words about sand and sun protection, and we should have been given some clothes and pants to change, but since we were wearing Tang suits, and Taoist Master Liu was also wearing a Taoist robe, there was little need to change.
Obviously, Liu Yushu frowned, but he still changed out of the Taoist cloth shoes on his feet.
After all this was done, at Kasai's signal, we followed the old deaf man outside the hospital.
In fact, his yard was originally on the outskirts of the city. Going in was the sand city, and beyond that you could already see the desert.
We walked for about seven or eight minutes and then came to another street. The old deaf man's house was much dilapidated, and the walls of the yard were peeled off and were full of holes.
He entered the yard and came out after a while. There were more than ten camels following him.
He opened his mouth wide, greeted us a few words, and made gestures in the same way.
Then he climbed onto the back of the leading camel.
Each of us also rode on a camel, and the remaining camels without people followed.
The temperament of these camels is obviously much more stable than other animals.
I still vaguely remember that when I was in Ji Niang Village, the yaks were frightened when they saw wolf mastiffs, but these camels were very calm.
Only my side dodges a little because the wolf mastiff wants to follow me.
It dodged, and the wolf mastiff came closer, and finally hid a few steps, but it stopped hiding, as if it was used to it.
The old deaf man in front drove the camel.
Those of us behind us followed him and moved forward slowly.
The camel caravan left Shacheng and went straight into the desert.
At the beginning, there were actually a lot of people, and there were many tourist groups near the city, and they also brought camels.
Our camel team was obviously much larger and attracted the attention of many tourists who took pictures.
In the yellow sand, you can still see clusters of low shrubs growing in many places, among which there are also cacti and some Elaeagnus trees.
By the time it was getting close to evening, there were no more people around.
As far as the eye can see, there is endless yellow sand.
Against the backdrop of the sea of sand, the red setting sun is particularly enchanting, and the gold-encrusted clouds are dazzling.
After walking for almost an hour, the dusk was getting darker, and Wu Wu's voice came from behind, asking us if we wanted to camp and rest. It was getting dark, and he felt that we should not go any further, as it would be very risky.
Before I could speak, Feng Bao, who was behind me, pulled his neck and responded, saying that Kasai told him that everything depends on the old deaf man. If he wants to leave, we can just follow him. If he stops, we can stop.
Wu Wu's voice did not continue to ring.
After walking for a while, when the sunset was almost gone, the old deaf man in front finally stopped.
