"Damn it, why are these camels convulsed? They were fine just now, but suddenly they look like they've seen a ghost!" Haozi shouted in surprise and rushed over to help Ye Rong pull the scurrying camels together.
"Camels are the most spiritual creatures in the desert. Now that they are so scared, there must be something scary around them. Leave the camels alone and pay attention to what's going on around you!"
this......
Seeing this scene from a distance, Chen Tao subconsciously touched the black bead in his pocket.
That thing was left behind by the monster just now. Maybe there was still a little breath left on it, but it actually made these camels so frightened.
As Chen Yao approached, the camels became more frightened and trembled all over. But because they had been tamed for a long time, they still felt that they could not break free from the restraints of the reins. In the end, they simply stopped turning and knelt down directly on the ground, with their heads moving towards the ground. Poke it in the sand and wait for death on the spot.
Seeing this, Chen Tao couldn't help but find it funny, but it was not an option for a camel to be so scared. He smiled, walked closer and pulled up Takji's leading camel.
This one has been with Takji for many years, and it has gained some spirituality. I'm sure it can still understand some human speech. I just don't know whether Takji spoke to it in Chinese or Uyghur, but it was definitely not English.
"Whatever, let's try it later."
Chen Tao squatted next to the camel. As soon as he touched it, the camel began to wail, as if it was not Chen Tao's hand that touched it, but a red-hot iron.
"I heard from Takji that your name is Shala. As for me, I'm not that monster, and I won't eat you. Just be obedient and don't run around! Bless us to get out of the desert safely. We will eat well and drink well when we go back. Looking after you." Chen Tao touched the long hair on the camel's neck and muttered for a long time.
The big camel seemed to understand Chen Tao's words, and it let out deep grunts in its throat. It slowly raised its head from the ground, and the saliva from its mouth almost splashed onto Chen Tao's face.
Although there was still some fear in its eyes, it was no longer so scared. It shook its body and stood up from the sand.
"Hey! It's really amazing. Did this camel fall in love with you? Why were you so obedient when you came here?" Haozi stared at him and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, Taozi. Okay, you are very lucky, I will talk to Uncle Chen and the others when I get back, find a matchmaker for you two, and set a date as soon as possible!"
"Get out! You have to make a decision with him yourself. I guarantee you will have a litter next year. I have already thought of names for you. They are called Li Shasha, Li Lala and Li Huahua!" Seeing Haozi talking nonsense, Chen Tao retorted unceremoniously, "Hey, look how nice it is! You two look like a couple!"
"Good sister! I don't like this, Mr. Hao. You can keep it for yourself. I'm weak and I don't have as much energy as you!"
...
The two of them kept quarreling with each other. Ye Rong listened to the bickering between these two living treasures, with a look of helplessness on her pretty face. She held her forehead and pulled a camel towards the other side of the ruins. Walking in the shade
.
"It seems that you two still don't get enough sunshine. You two are slowly arguing. I'm going to find a place to cool down."
She raised her eyebrows and gave each of the two dumbfounded men a big roll of their eyes. Twisting her slim waist, Ye Rong led the camel into the depths of the ancient city.
Chen Tao: "......"
Haozi: "......"
It was noon, and the sun was blazing overhead, burning people's eyes with sparks. The two of them were tired from talking, and their mouths became dry for a while.
"Hey, what do you think this woman is made of? She looks like a monkey every now and then!" Haozi took a sip of water, wiped his mouth and touched Chen Tao's shoulder.
"Be gentle, I'm still injured!" Chen Tao grabbed the water bottle from Haozi's hand and took a sip. He pursed his lips and said, "Woman, you can't figure it out!"
"I'm not saying..." Haozi winked at Ye Rong in the distance: "Do you feel that this girl is a little different from the one we met in Heizigou before?"
"Is there any?" Chen Tao looked at the frail figure in the distance. Although she was wearing a smart outfit on the desert, she couldn't stop Ye Rong's aura that fascinated thousands of boys.
"I don't think there's anything different, but it's more...cute than before?"
As soon as this thought came out, Chen Tao himself was shocked. Has he been with this old woman for too long recently, and he actually thinks she is cute?
"Yo!" Seeing Chen Tao's face looking a little weird, Hao Zi smiled playfully on the side, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, "Yo yo yo!!! Our young master Chen is thinking about spring!"
"Get lost!" Chen Tao lazily talked to Hao Zi. It's okay if you don't talk to him. The more you talk to him, the more interested he will be in following you!
"Hey, hey! You feel guilty, don't you!" Haozi chased after Chen Tao and put an arm around Chen Tao's shoulder, causing Chen Tao to grin in pain.
"Look at your weak look! It's not what I said, this girl is really weird! Master Hao, I can bend my wooden wedge, but a beautiful woman will never miss her! Believe it or not, this girl is the same as before. Heizigou is definitely different!”
Chen Tao glanced at him angrily, snorted out of his nose, and looked thoughtfully at Ye Rong's back in front of him.
"If you ask me, this girl is definitely in love with me. It used to be embarrassing because there were so many people in Heizigou, but now it's just the three of us, right? As the saying goes, beauties match handsome men, and swords are given to heroes! Master Hao... ....Hey, hey, hey, don’t leave!”
Chen Tao really couldn't stand the stinky beauty of this guy in front of him. He couldn't stop talking once he started talking, and he praised himself as if he was a god descending to earth, almost blowing his mind.
He tightened the reins in his hands, pulled the big camel Shala, and walked forward without looking back.
Looking at Chen Tao's back, an imperceptible look flashed in Haozi's eyes, and then he yelled, dragging the camel and following him.
The three of them hid in a large earthen house with a reasonable area. They each found a place to sit down. They bandaged when they needed to and rested when they needed to. When their physical strength was almost restored, Chen Tao got up and walked to sit next to Ye Rong. down, open
Mouth:
"The current situation is not optimistic for us. Although we have escaped, for us, everything has not really started yet. Now that Takji is dead, we no longer have him as an old driver in the desert. What will happen next? The road is not easy to walk!”
"Well." Ye Rong straightened her clothes, reached out to brush away the broken hair from her forehead, and took out the route map from her backpack, "I checked just now. Our current location is here, with Di Yilong and the others. The traveling route has shifted by 5 kilometers. When the temperature outside drops, we will start from this direction of the ruins and should be able to reach this location before sunset. At this speed, we will be able to reach them before sunset tomorrow. They have lost their signal. The place!"
After planning the next route, the three of them packed everything that needed to be packed away without saying anything more, and took the time to catch up on some sleep.
Next, it is a continuous long journey.
Uncle Long and the others were uncertain whether they would survive or not, and Chen Tao and the others had already wasted a lot of time.
Time is running out and lives are at stake, so they can't delay any longer.
Chen Tao leaned against the corner and looked at the endless sand dunes outside. The experience of the past few days could really be described as a narrow escape. He didn't know what would be waiting for him next? Where did Uncle Long and the others go? Can I rescue Uncle Long?
At this point, the only one he can rely on is himself.
On impulse, with a hint of rebellion and a sense of luck, Chen Tao secretly ran into the desert with his family on his back. It is the ancestors of the Chen family who have blessed him to be alive today.
I thought of Takji who was smashed in the rubble again. Although this old Uighur man was afraid of death and loved money as much as life, he was not a bad person. His biggest shortcoming was that he was too greedy. If it were Chen Tao, I will never risk my life to get some luminous pearl.
There are thousands of treasures in the world, but I can only drink one gourdful of water. When you hold something in your hand, it is yours only if you have a life flower. If your life is gone, what will happen if you are given a mountain of gold and silver?
I still agree with that sentence, people can't be too greedy.
With random thoughts in his head, Chen Tao gradually lowered his head and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. Finally, he could no longer control the sleepiness that came over him and fell into a deep sleep...
