Chapter 129
The caravan continued on its journey, during which Chu Huaiqin and his companions encountered the Maozi team and the Double Eagle team. These two teams had been walking until the early morning yesterday, but in the end, due to fatigue and fear of the dark, they did not complete the whole night's journey. They set up camp here at two in the morning and slept until noon. When they heard the sound of camels, they rushed out of the tent and saw Chu Huaiqin sitting on a tall camel, passing by leisurely. Like the previous group of contestants, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
The caravan did not stop until it sent Chu Huaiqin and his companions to the next food point. Before leaving, Chu Huaiqin said goodbye to the leader of the caravan reluctantly and promised each other that they would visit each other's hometown in the future.
"These people in the desert all live in mud houses without air conditioning." Xia En looked at the two people hugging each other, with an expression of mutual understanding, and snorted softly.
"Xia, welcome to come with Chu." The team leader invited Xia Entang in broken Chinese.
"Ahem," Xia Entang coughed twice, not sure if it was out of embarrassment or to hide the smile on his face. "I'll definitely go."
Xia Entang pulled Chu Huaiqin back and reached out to shake the leader's hand vigorously. Finally, the leader gave Chu Huaiqin and the others a few cakes before waving goodbye and leaving.
After saying goodbye to them, the first group to arrive at the food point turned their gaze to the bedrock not far away. The bedrock was very large. After being eroded by wind and sand for tens of millions of years, the rock wall was uneven, and some of its edges were even blown apart, forming one strange-shaped pillar after another. They were rare and extremely beautiful, majestic and magnificent, but their style was unique. The wonders of nature always amaze humans.
There are many gravels along the bedrock, and the plain is still vast. Compared with the vast sea of sand in the desert, the Gobi Desert can make people feel the artistic conception of the poem "No birds fly in the desolate and desolate desert, and I am still lazy in dreams among the thousands of mountains and ridges."
"Brother, there's no poplar forest here, so where would the meat be?" The little monk pointed was exactly where the bedrock lay. Rather than admiring the scenery, the little monk was more practical.
"It's possible." Chu Huaiqin looked at the time. It was six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still hanging in the west, like a salted duck egg yolk. "Let's go over and take a look. If there's no problem, we'll camp there tonight."
"I've been to Mogao Grottoes. The scenery here is really beautiful. Let's go!" Lin Zhinan was very excited. Although his butt was sore after riding on the camel's back for a whole day, compared with the previous few days, this was the best.
"Let's go." Chu Huaiqin put on his backpack and took the lead to walk towards the bedrock.
The place where they disembarked their camels was not far from the bedrock, and it took about ten minutes to walk there. Upon arrival, they discovered that the place was even more stunning than it appeared from a distance. On the side of the bedrock, there were caves and kilns, and it was unclear whether they were man-made or natural.
Several people were amazed, but only the little monk felt scared, wondering what would come out of these dark holes.
After observing the terrain, Chu Huaiqin and others found a flat area to set up camp. However, because there were too many gravels, they had to clear the ground.
Xia En, Lin Zhinan, and Su Huaichen stayed behind to tidy up the camp, while Chu Huaiqin and the little monk went to find food. Although the caravan had given them a few large flatbreads, Chu Huaiqin wanted to save them for when he needed them most.
As for food, it is impossible to have no food. After Chu Huaiqin and the little monk walked around the bedrock for a while, they were wondering if they had found the wrong place when a white animal suddenly ran out. The little monk's eyes lit up when he saw it.
"Brother, it's a duck, a big white duck." The little monk jumped three feet high and shouted, pointing at the big white duck.
Chu Huaiqin blinked, took a closer look, and felt something was wrong, "No, it shouldn't be..."
"Meat, here I come." As the little monk shouted "meat", he rushed out. Even Chu Huaiqin didn't have time to stop him, which shows how excited he was.
“Grind, grind, grind!”
The little monk rushed towards his meat, and the big white duck immediately flapped its wings, quacked, and ran away on tiptoe. How could the little monk let it go? This was their dinner.
"Brother, brother, come quickly, let's surround it," the little monk shouted, bending down to grab a handful of stones and throwing them at the big white duck, shouting, "Brother, let's eat roast duck tonight."
"No, that's not a duck, that's a goose. Don't provoke it," Chu Huaiqin hurriedly ran towards the little monk, but it was too late. The little monk had almost thrown all the stones in his hand. "Don't let it peck you."
As soon as the monk finished speaking, the goose, which had been hit by the little monk's stone several times, stopped pretending to be a duck. It screamed, turned its head, and rushed towards the little monk with a "chuckling" sound. Who was the little monk? He was a little bully in the mountains. He was not afraid of tigers, so how could he be afraid of a goose? He immediately rushed forward to meet it.
But the little monk was in trouble. He had never seen a goose in the mountains, nor did he understand how terrifying a goose could be. When the goose flapped its wings and flew towards him, the little monk was still thinking about roasting the goose. But when the goose raised its hard beak and pecked the little monk's calf, a scream broke through the sky.
"Brother, brother, ah, it hurts." The little monk yelled, without having time to think about how to fight back, his first reaction was to rush towards Chu Huaiqin, "Ah, brother, it hurts."
“Grumble!”
The more miserable the little monk cried, the happier the goose cried. So the live broadcast room was lucky enough to see a scene of a goose chasing a little monk.
"Oh my god, I'm so scared of geese. I don't know why these creatures exist."
"Same as above. The fear I felt when I was a child being chased by geese with nowhere to escape still haunts me."
"There are not many people in this world who dare to mess with geese. The little monk is one of the best. Let's mourn for him."
The appearance of the big white goose reminded many people in the live broadcast room of their sad childhood, and they got goosebumps when they heard the "squeaking" sound of the goose.
The little monk was chased by the big white goose and had nowhere to escape. He ran around everywhere. Chu Huaiqin wanted to save him and shouted at him to stop running and come quickly. But the little monk, who had been pecked by the goose, could not hear Chu Huaiqin's calls at all. He just kept screaming and crying, "It hurts, help!"
"What are you doing?" Xia En was attracted by the little monk's screams. He saw the little monk being chased by a big white goose with dust flying everywhere, and Chu Huaiqin was yelling behind him. He frowned, thought for a while, and returned to the camp. But after a while, he came back with Lin Zhinan's bow/crossbow in his hand.
Drawing his bow/crossbow, Xia Entang shouted to the little monk, "Run this way. I'll kill it."
Hearing the word "kill", the little monk was immediately shocked and turned to pounce in the direction of Xia Entang. Xia Entang, who was already prepared, moved his fingers slightly when the big white goose pounced on him. With a "whoosh" sound, a sound of cutting through the wind was heard. The big white goose let out a long cry and fell to the ground, flopping around. It died after a while, but because it was flopping around everywhere, it made a lot of blood on the ground.
Xia En walked over and picked up the goose. He glanced at the little monk indifferently. Seeing that the little monk was crying with snot and saliva running, he felt a little disgusted.
"Take the little monk back with you, and I'll take another look." Chu Huaiqin said. The director team certainly couldn't have released only one goose, there must be something else, and Chu Huaiqin wanted to store more food.
Xia Entanglement also agreed, but he didn't want Chu Huaiqin to go alone. Instead, he asked the little monk to take the goose back to the camp, and he would go with Chu Huaiqin.
The little monk was sobbing and wanted to act coquettishly with Chu Huaiqin, asking him to accompany him, but when he saw Xia En's threatening look, he swallowed his tears and walked towards the camp carrying the big white goose.
Back at the camp, the little monk holding the goose was warmly welcomed by Lin Zhinan. However, looking at the big white goose that needed to be plucked, Lin Zhinan felt a headache. After thinking about it, he used the method he had used before, plucking the feathers with hot soil.
But this is the Gobi Desert, the soil is very hard, and it is not easy to get some sand.
Xia En and Chu Huaiqin walked for a while and did not find any other animals, which made them very confused. However, when they saw it was getting dark, they turned around and went back.
The little monk's peck wounds had been treated with medicine, and the big white goose was not roasted because they lacked firewood, but was stewed in water.
When Chu Huaiqin and the others came back, the food was almost cooked and ready to eat.
The five people who had been hungry for several days couldn't wait to eat. Chu Huaiqin even picked up a big goose leg for the little monk as compensation.
The stewed goose with green onions was quite good. The five of them finished it right away. It would have been even more delicious if it had been served with rice or pancakes, but they had no rice, so the pancakes had to be kept as a reserve food.
It was rare that they finished their meal early and were so full that they burped. Suddenly, they couldn't fall asleep while lying in the tent.
"Brother, it would be great if we still had camels tomorrow." The little monk said regretfully.
"It's good to have such a day. Don't be greedy, greed will cause problems." Su Huaichen said.
The little monk touched his wound, made a bitter face and said nothing more.
Calm down, don’t go hungry, the sky in the Gobi Desert is even more beautiful.
The five of them looked at the starry sky and gradually felt sleepy. Before they fell asleep, they heard a noisy sound. Chu Huaiqin thought for a moment and crawled out of the tent. He saw that it was the Maozi team and the Shuangying team who had arrived. He checked the time and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.
So strong.
When the two teams arrived, they had no time to greet Chu Huaiqin and turned around to look for food. They were extremely hungry and if they didn't eat, they would want to eat their own flesh.
"Can they still find food?" the little monk asked curiously. Xia Entang and Chu Huaiqin had been searching for a long time today but couldn't find anything. The only food was the eaten white goose.
"I don't know." Chu Huaiqin shook his head. He didn't know what the director team was doing. This was the first time that there was only one big white goose.
The camp returned to silence. Half an hour later, just as they were about to fall asleep, the noise began again. This time, it was easy to tell that the Maozi team was arguing with the Double Eagle team.
After listening carefully, it turned out that the Maozi team suspected that Chu Huaiqin and his men had taken all the prey for themselves and wanted to settle the score with Chu Huaiqin. However, the people from the Double Eagle team stopped the Maozi team and said that Chu Huaiqin was not such a person at all.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Just as a fight was about to break out, Chu Huaiqin and Xia En crawled out of the tent.
"Chu, I misjudged you." A member of the Maozi team saw Chu Huaiqin appear and immediately yelled at him.
Chu Huaiqin frowned and looked at the red-eyed Russian team members. Just as he was about to speak, one of the impulsive Russian team members couldn't wait any longer. He clenched his fists and rushed towards Chu Huaiqin.
"Hand over the food."
