I Run a Gas Station in the Northwest

The three of them let the camels run freely, and soon rushed up the sand dunes and saw the scene behind the dunes.

That is the real sea of ​​sand, and after the dunes are countless high and low dunes.

On the sand dunes, there are traces of wind blowing, like water ripples, very beautiful.

Closer, you can still see some drought-tolerant plants, and even poplar trees showing a dry state, but farther away, there is nothing but sand. The end that the eyes can reach is all yellow, and finally The sky is connected.

Cheng Zijun and Li Yiqian were very excited to see such a magnificent scenery.

The two people are like two children, grinning, laughing and screaming, and quickly jumped off the camel and sprinted down the top of the dune to the bottom of the dune.

Sitting on a hunchback, Chen Mu looked into the distance and was shocked. This is the mighty power of nature, and nothing is more spectacular than the sight before him.

"It's so beautiful!"

Li Yihan also rushed over, also impressed by the scene in front of him, took out the camera and started to click again.

However, the two Uighurs have seen a lot of these things, and have no feeling at all. The Uyghur elderly even said anxiously: "The desert has become bigger again. When I came here, it was only after the village of Baza that it was the desert. No, now the desert has expanded here."

Chen Mu didn’t know where the desert was in the past. After all, his map was in the “new version”. Hearing the old Uighurs say this, it made him a little worried. He didn’t know if the Baza village was still there, so he immediately used black. Searched the science and technology map.

If you don’t search, you don’t know.

The Baza village that the Uighur old man said was actually in the desert, located in a small oasis, completely surrounded by the desert.

I checked the map before, and there are a few small villages on the edge of the desert. Chen Mu thought that the Baza village that the Uighur old man said was one of them, so he didn’t pay attention to it. Now, it turns out that it’s not... It's a mess, it seems that there is a problem with the communication within the team.

Chen Mu took advantage of the time when the three tourists were fascinated by the sight of the desert, and took the Uighur old man aside and asked: "Uncle Aizmat, there is still a long way to go to Baza Village. Take them into the desert. Isn’t it a little dangerous here?"

When speaking, he pointed to the direction of one of the small villages shown on the black technology map, and said, "Uncle, I remember there seems to be a village in that direction. Why don't we go there for the night?"

The old Uighur glanced in that direction, and after thinking about it, he said, "It is Deyi Village, a village of Baoan people. My friendship with their village chief is not very good, so I am afraid that we will not be welcome."

Chen Mu didn't expect this to happen, and he was startled.

There are many ethnic minorities living in this area of ​​Bahe Town, with the Uighur and Baoan ethnic groups being the majority.

Although both the Uighur and Baoan people believe in a touch of blue, there are still many differences between them due to their different customs and cultures.

Take eating as an example. Uighurs like to eat naan, barbecue and pilaf, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, very similar to those in Arab countries.

The Baoan people love to eat noodles, various fried cakes and noodle shops, they are more famous.

The Baoan people also eat meat, but most of the meat they eat is the livestock and poultry slaughtered by Musilin. They do not eat animal blood products and pork.

People of the two ethnic groups live in separate houses, and because of their different living habits, they rarely live together.

There is no other way but to enter the desert.

The itinerary was completely inconsistent with Chen Mu's preset, but at this point, he could only move forward with his scalp printed.

The tourists hadn't noticed anything, they were very excited to hear that they were going directly into the desert.

Fortunately, Baza Village is within the range of the black technology map, and Chen Mu is not worried about what will happen to get lost in the sand sea.

Riding a camel in the desert, everyone automatically turned on the Arab Emirates mode, wrapping their faces and necks tightly with scarves.

The tourists started to take pictures with their mobile phones and cameras. They were very active, and they could be excited for most of the day when they saw a lizard or a haloxylon tree.

The Uighur old man riding a donkey was not walking fast. Chen Mu approached and asked curiously: "Uncle, the people in Baza Village are surrounded by the desert, why don't they move out?"

The old Uighur said: "As long as there is water in the well, no one wants to walk."

Chen Mu could only sigh softly and stopped talking.

No matter how bad the environment is, it is still home.

Chen Mu has seen the map, and the underground waterway connecting Baza Village is still unobstructed, so they may be able to sustain it.

As I walked, I suddenly saw a place in front of a few haloxylon trees, and a gray figure was burying my head in the sand, digging for something.

The first person I found was Li Yihan. She was very excited and pointed to the figure and whispered, "Look, look, there is a dog."

Cheng Zijun took a look, and he was excited, and said, "What kind of dog, it's a lynx in the desert, it looks quite fat."

Li Yigan said: "How do you feel like a pig?"

Chen Mu took a look, and said in a bad mood: "That's a person."

"what?"

All three tourists expressed their surprise, but they really couldn't see that it was an individual.

Chen Mu pointed to the person and said: "Don't look at their gray-headed faces. We call them soil mice. They usually wander around, looking for and digging for those precious plants that can make money."

Is there such a thing?

The three tourists were even more surprised.

Chen Mu met a few soil mice in the petrol station, so he knew something about the group of soil mice, so he seized the opportunity to show his talents and gave three tourists the origin of the soil mice.

The soil mice are similar to the former ginseng pickers in Changbai Mountain, except that they collect wild ginseng in the Daxue Mountain and they dig medicinal materials in the desert.

In recent years, many precious species are on the verge of extinction due to indiscriminate digging and robbery of soil rodents. Therefore, the government has strictly prohibited and cracked down on them.

Of course, this matter can't be stopped for a while, because there are profit-driven, soil rats still exist, many of them are locals, but they are becoming fewer and fewer.

The three tourists were dubious, and when they walked closer, they could see clearly that they were really alone, this guy with his ass upside down, digging in the sand.

Hearing the noise, the man sat up, with a small flat head, and a short stature. At this time, his face was covered with dust. If he didn't look closely, he really looked like an animal living in a hole in the desert.

"Hey, brother, have you found something good?"

Chen Mu waved his hand and greeted him actively.

When the man saw the pedestrian, he immediately relaxed, smiled, showing his white teeth: "I have dug out Cistanche."

Listening to the accent, he is a Uighur, and he is not very old.

Chen Mu smiled and asked, "How?"

"Well, five dollars!"

The man laughed again, holding up a piece of Cistanche that had just been dug out, without even taking a picture of the soil, just showing it to Chen Mu.

Cheng Zijun looked at the dusty thing, and asked Chen Mu curiously, "What's the use of this thing? How much money can I earn from it?"

"Wild Cistanche is a small one on the market. As for its function..."

Chen Mu glanced at Li Yihan before vomiting two words softly: "Aphrodisiac."

"Oh"

Cheng Zijun and Li Yiqian both understood, their eyes brightened suddenly when they looked at the grey medicine.

Li Yihan also understood and said "bad guys", and drove the camel forward, trying to keep away from the three bad guys.
