The sun was setting in the west. In the light of the setting sun, a convertible-top car stopped in front of the yamen of the small town. The leader brought a few assistants to bring the archaeological team to the guest house and served them with good food and drinks.
After a night of rest, everyone was full of energy.
Early in the morning, Professor Chen and the others went to inquire about An Liman. They found out that this old man was indeed a living map of the desert, but his character was not good.
What worried them even more was that the old man was still in the detention center. It was as if he had left the group of people in the desert and ran back by himself.
"An Liman, you can leave now."
With Professor Chen's bail, An Liman was released. He looked at his own camel that had lost weight and was dissatisfied.
"These people don't even know how to feed camels. I really don't know what else they can do.”
Shirley Yang didn't have time to listen to his complaints. After hesitating for a moment, she said bluntly,""Old Master, we're going into the desert. When do you think we can set off?”
It was the windy season, and the desert guides did not dare to enter rashly. They knew that they would not be able to get out if they went in. If they wanted to enter the desert, they could only look for An Liman. The old man also knew this, so he was very arrogant. He glanced at Xue Li Yang." When I see a girl like you, I think of bad Americans.”
"The Americans still want to kill me. Don't talk to me."
Xue Li Yang had the appearance of a combination of an Asian and a Western. She had a delicate face, a high nose bridge, light eyeliner, and bright, round eyes. However, it was not difficult to tell that she was an American.
Xue Li Yang frowned, then frowned again. As soon as the old man said this, she saw Fatty, Bluefire, and Huba Yi all clutching their stomachs and laughing.
It seemed that they all felt that what he said was right.
"Haha, Old Master really has a discerning eye for Americans.”
Fatty Wang raised his hand and made a donation.
He felt that Ahn Manta and he were like-minded people, at least in this aspect.
"I'm not much older than you, so I took advantage of you and called you old brother.”Professor Chen smiled kindly and said to An Liman,""We want to go into the desert for archaeology. Please support our work and lead the way.”
"Archeology, I hope you can come back with results.”
An Liman grabbed the grass and placed it in the stone trough. The camel lowered its head and chewed on the grass. A gratified smile appeared on his old face.
In his heart, nothing was more important than camels.
"Old Master, what do you mean?" Sa Dipeng was a little unhappy. He thought that this old man was too arrogant. He didn't even give face to Professor Chen, whom he respected the most.
"The desert is very dangerous.”
Everyone's expressions changed as they looked at Bluefire. Unknowingly, Bluefire seemed to have become their backbone.
Even Hu Bayi was no exception.
"Old Master, let's go over there and talk.”Bluefire thought for a moment, then walked to An Liman's side and pulled him to the side.
"Child, just say it. Why are you pulling me?”
After a while, the two of them returned. This time, everyone saw that An Li was full of confidence. He was no longer as arrogant as before. Everyone's mind was filled with puzzlement,'What's going on?
"The old master agreed to go, but he had conditions.”
Bluefire looked at Xue Li Yang, but didn't say anything.
"What condition?”Xue Li Yang took a step forward and stood in front of An Li. He looked at Qing Huo, then glanced at Xue Li Yang. He slowly walked to the side of the camel, raised his hand, and gently stroked the camel."My camel has lost weight. I have to fatten it up before I can enter the desert!”
"When will you be able to fatten up?"
"You have to eat good fodder to fatten up. I don't have good fodder. It takes a few months to fatten up if you eat this kind of fodder!”After An Liman finished speaking weakly, he removed his hand from the camel and bent down to touch the grass. He was speechless. Why didn't this little girl understand?
"Old Master, a few months is too late. We can't wait.”Xue Li Yang became anxious. She turned her head to look at Bluefire and said," According to the notebook, it can only be found during the windy season…"
Bluefire waved his hand and interrupted Xue Li Yang." This old man wants money. Give him a number."”
"If he's satisfied, he can leave in a few days.”After some thought, he added that the money was not his anyway.
"Old Master isn't happy with his words. If you want money, just say it. Miss Yang has plenty of money.”Fatty was at the side, trying to kill this American girl. After saying that, he was pulled by Hu Ba. This meaning was very obvious, and Fatty understood.
"Hey, Old Hu, what are you doing? You're not paying for it.”
Fatty asked even though he knew the answer. However, he stole a glance at Xue Li Yang from the corner of his eye. Seeing her smile, Fatty's heart skipped a beat. F * ck, rich people are indeed different.
"Um, Miss Yang, can you increase my share a little? Hehe.“
Fatty was shameless. He didn't think it was disgraceful to ask a woman for money.
Xue Li Yang glanced at Fatty Wang and said to An Liman,"Uncle Andrew, how about this? I'll buy all your camels and give you another ten thousand dollars. When you come back, the camels will still be yours.”
"Old Master, ten thousand dollars is tens of thousands of dollars in our country's money.”
Hu Bayi explained!
Hearing this, An Liman's eyes lit up. His wrinkled hands trembled a few times. He nodded and said," That's good. We'll leave in a week."”
Professor Hao adjusted his presbyopic glasses. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this An Liman was unreliable. He glanced at Bluefire and Huba from the corner of his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he pulled Bluefire to the side.
"Comrade Qing, I don't agree to let An Liman be our guide. His character is too bad, we can't put our lives in his hands.”
His worries were unreasonable. An Liman gave people the feeling that he was a bad old man.
"Professor Hao, don't worry. Although An Liman is a little naughty, he's still quite good at heart.”Qing Huo knew An Liman's character. Generally speaking, this old man didn't have any intentions of harming others, but he definitely wouldn't die with you.
Once he reached a critical moment, he would think of a way to escape. If he did not do so, he would have been buried in the Takar Al-Lamagan Desert.
In the following time, everyone replenished their supplies and bought equipment.
Bluefire even went to the city and spent several thousand yuan on everything he needed in the desert and the tomb, such as solid fuel, mosquito repellent, gas masks, fireworks, tear gas, and so on. These materials were stored in a small bag for him to carry around.
Then there was the 1.5-meter-wide hiking bag. He packed it until it was bulging, and then added a big bag!
70% of the materials were essential for the desert.
