Seeing that he didn't agree, Song Siyuan said anxiously: "Brother Keli, we know that it is dangerous to go to the desert. We can give you a high reward, either one thousand oceans or two thousand oceans, or you can give a number yourself. If we think it is appropriate, that is OK."
Keli seemed unmoved and shook his head at them: "This is not a matter of money. The devil's ears are not a joke. Even the best desert hunter may not be able to come out if he goes there. You'd better not go and die." ”
Seeing that she still wanted to speak, Taoist Wang pulled up her sleeve and said, "Okay, okay, Keli said it all. If he doesn't want to, it's useless no matter how much money you throw at him. Let's go back first. We're staying here anyway." "
This annoyed him, so Yue Guanchao had no choice but to follow Taoist Wang's words and lead everyone out of the grotto.
With a loud bang, the cave door closed, stirring up the surrounding sand, gravel and loess, which made them cough. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what kind of temperament Keli had, to be so withdrawn and weird.
Returning to Wang Yuanlu's grotto, Yue Erpao pinched his chin and hissed: "What's the origin of this gram? He won't take us to Sha'er City no matter how much he offers. You said he can't even look down on a thousand oceans, no?" It’s probably because the lion opened his mouth.”
Song Siyuan shook her head: "I don't think so. When we entered just now, I also saw the desert map. The route on it was probably the route that Keli had traveled. Even each area was marked with different information about animals and plants. This shows that he knows the devil’s desert very well.”
"There have been so many foreigners in the desert in recent years. Someone must have found him and hired him as a desert guide. If he is a man with a big mouth, he should have been rich after so many years. How can he still live here with his sister? Plant it in a broken cave dwelling."
Speaking of this, Song Siyuan looked at everyone: "He's not doing it for money. It seems that even he himself is very taboo about this place. It seems that he is afraid that something will happen to a few of us, so he refuses to take us to the desert. Didn't he just say that Shar'er The city is the devil's ear, and even the most powerful desert hunter may not always be able to come back."
"Second uncle, don't just frown, are you making any noise?"
Lao Yue raised his eyes and glanced at everyone: "Just now, he thought we were some kind of bad guy, so he locked his sister in the room. Such a person is young, mature, lonely and weird. He must have suffered a lot. I Judging from his firm and clear features, he is not a person who engages in crooked ways."
"What Song Yatou said is that this child really didn't want anything to happen to us, so she refused to take us to the desert. It had nothing to do with money at all."
"But why? You are a bastard who doesn't want to earn money. To put it bluntly, what does our life and death have to do with him?"
After Sun Daqiao finished speaking, Wang Yuanlu seemed to have remembered something and reminded him: "It doesn't matter. Keli and Nayi's father seems to have died in Sal City."
"Taoist Wang, your mouth is tighter than a gourd. You know so much, why don't you tell us."
Yue Guanchao didn't expect that Keli and Nayi would have such sad things.
Wang Yuanlu was quite helpless: "I haven't had time to say it yet. I originally wanted to tell you about this matter and then take you to meet these two brothers and sisters. Who would have thought that before I opened my mouth, you first said that you were going to Shasha." Ear City.”
Yue Guanchao pondered Taoist Wang's words and realized that the matter between Keli and Nayi was not simple. There must be something fishy about his family's death in Sha'er City, and urged Taoist Wang to tell his own story.
Wang Yuanlu coughed a few times and said slowly: "I have only heard other people talk about this before. Let me tell you what is going on..."
Keli and Nayi's father is Gunizi, the best desert hunter in the area.
What is a desert hunter?
People who are familiar with desert flora and fauna and hunt in the desert are called desert hunters.
The local people near Dunhuang have always regarded the desert basin as a devil's desert. Most of the local people have a respectful attitude towards the desert. There is only one kind of person who knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to travel to the tiger mountains. This kind of people are desert hunters. .
Such people who go upstream must be different from ordinary people. If you want to become a desert hunter, you must have three conditions: sharp ears and eyes, courage and carefulness, and strong force.
Let’s talk about hearing and seeing first!
In the desert, dangerous situations may occur all the time. If a person is dull, it is difficult to discover these dangers hidden under normal circumstances. Even if such a person is lucky enough to enter the desert, he may not be able to survive for more than three days. Die in the desert.
The so-called sharp ears and eyesight actually means having good eyesight and hearing, and being able to see in all directions and hear in all directions. In the long desert with yellow sand, if you can observe more details in advance, you can deal with more emergencies and let yourself and others Companions are protected from danger.
For example, when walking in the desert, ordinary people will encounter the situation where the wheels sink into the sand.
These people had just arrived, so they rashly checked the wheel without knowing the situation. When they stood near the wheel, they discovered that the wheel did not press into the sand pit, but hit quicksand.
It is too late for those who are unaware of the situation to leave at this time. The quicksand is most easily disturbed. They have disturbed the quicksand while walking, but within a short time they have fallen down together with the wheels, as if they were trapped in a swamp. It is difficult to escape from the quicksand. , watching helplessly as the quicksand swallowed him up, killing him.
If you are an experienced desert hunter, they will have already noticed that something is not simple when the wheels sink into the sand pit. They will immediately pull out the wooden planks from the carriage and line them up near the wheels. Then stand on the wooden planks, pick up the sticks and explore the situation deeply. .
If it is just an ordinary sand pit, the wooden stick will soon hit the bottom. If the wooden stick sinks higher than the wheel, it is basically a bottomless quicksand pit.
At this time, they will ask everyone to evacuate, then completely jump away from the board, and choose other routes to avoid the attack of quicksand.
After such operation, although the carriage is stuck in the quicksand, it may not sink directly. As long as the wooden board is placed across the wheels and then dragged forward by another carriage, it is possible to drag the carriage out of the quicksand.
The people are fine and the carriages and horses can be rescued.
For another example, people walking in the desert often encounter many small crescent oases under the sand dunes. These oases must be filled with lush vegetation and sweet ponds.
When some ordinary people are walking in the desert, they are already short of water and thirsty. When they suddenly encounter these sweet springs and ponds, they immediately go to nearby drinking water, or even take a bath directly. When they jump into the pond, it will certainly quench their thirst and feel comfortable. But it is equivalent to pushing yourself into a desperate situation!
The places where there are real oases in the desert can only be found near rivers. If there are no rivers near Crescent Moon Continent, and there are single ponds, then there must be underground rivers or simply underground caves at the bottom of these ponds.
This means that the pond they saw was not an oasis, but most likely an underground cave that ate people.
As long as people or animals enter the pond and change the environment of the pond, it is likely to cause a chain reaction, causing the water level in the underground river to rise and fall. At that time, people may be brought in along with the falling water level. Cave, as for where a living person goes after arriving in the cave, no one knows.
