Small farmers dominate the deserted island

Chapter 1696 Camel Caravan

After Gu Tie finished drinking, he pulled his horse back.

The horse was carrying two to three hundred jin of ancient iron, and now its four hooves were weak. After seeing the water in the cactus, the horse quickly learned the appearance of ancient iron and put his head in.

Moreover, he not only drank water, but also ate the tender meat in the cactus.

Seeing that there was water in the cactus, everyone rushed over like zombies, slashed the cactus with a knife, and gurgled their heads in.

Although the water was a bit bitter, they still enjoyed it.

When people drink it, they are horses. These horses are already at the end of the crossbow. Not to mention the pack people, even if they are allowed to walk on their own, they have no vitality.

There are about one or two hundred cactus trees in this prickly pear forest, which is enough for everyone to drink, although the water tastes a little strange.

After drinking the water, the others chopped off a few fresh cactus and put the kettle in it to fill the water.

"Friend Lu, why don't you drink it?" Chen Yu asked.

Lu Chuxue had a black line on her face: "No need, I was full just now!"

Chen Yu finally showed a long-lost smile. As long as this wave of cactus balls help, their number will not decrease, and it will definitely be no problem to walk to the edge of the Chiyang Desert.

Everyone was full of water, and the horses began to hiss happily.

Lu Chuxue came over: "Daoyou Chen, if you want to enter the Chiyang Desert, should you make some preparations first?"

"Prepare? What preparation?" Chen Yu said.

"Of course, how to solve the problem of water sources in the desert, but also to find a guide and a camel. If the horses go to the desert, it is estimated that they will all die of thirst before they have walked in the desert for three days."

A word awakened Chen Yu, he slapped his head hard, Lu Chuxue's head.

"Yes, Brother Lu who knows me, but where should we go to find the guide, where should we find the camel?" Chen Yu asked back.

"Yes, look ahead." Lu Chuxue finished speaking, and pointed his finger toward the place more than 100 meters ahead.

A group of Bactrian camels passed by, looking like a caravan, and judging from their dressing, they didn't even look like people on the Qingyun Plateau.

"Friends in front, please stay."

Gu Tie let out a loud roar, and his voice spread five or six miles away.

The caravan in front was originally walking slowly. As soon as they heard this sound, they instantly increased their speed, as if they were about to escape.

"Hey! Didn't I tell you to stay?"

Chen Yu gave an order, and everyone mounted their horses and ran towards the caravan.

The survival ability of camels in the desert is indeed higher than that of horses, but the speed has always been quite different.

It only took Chen Yu and his party more than ten minutes to catch up with the caravan.

The leader of the caravan was an old man with a melon hat on his head and stared at Chen Yu and his group with vigilant eyes.

In his caravan, there are about forty camels and a dozen guys who look like bodyguards.

These bodyguards saw Chen Yu and fifty people rushing over, put their hands on the handle of the knife, and looked at Chen Yu warily.

"Several great kings, we have already paid taxes to the Qingyun tribe before, do you still want the last time?" the old man cried his face.

"Pay taxes?" Chen Yu was taken aback. He hadn't heard such a modern vocabulary for a long time.

"Old man, we are not malicious, we just want to borrow some of your camels for a use. As for the cost..."

Originally, Chen Yu wanted to say that the fees were free from them, but Chen Yu just remembered that he didn't know what currency was exchanged on Qingyun Plateau, so he could only stop temporarily.

"As far as the cost is concerned, I will try my best to satisfy you. Even if it is not enough, we will exchange it with equivalent things and will never be a robber."

Chen Yu's words made the old man calm down a bit. He looked at his camel team and said in as calm as possible: "Then how many camels do you want?"

"Chen Yu, let it go, so I need ten camels, because we are going into the depths of the Chiyang Desert to find something." Chen Yu said.

"What? You are going to the depths of the Chiyang Desert. Don't be kidding. At the edge of the Chiyang Desert, the old man has been there several times, but there is a sandstorm at every turn. Sometimes you can't find a plant even after walking for hundreds of miles. If you go deep, you will die." The old man persuaded.

He had his own plan when he said that. Chen Yu and the group looked like beggars. How could they have the ability to buy ten camels in their hands, so he wanted to persuade Chen Yu and them to dispel this idea. Then, he also There is no need to exchange with Chen Yu.

Otherwise, if Chen Yu and his party are determined to enter the Chiyang Desert, if Chen Yu and his team are determined to enter the Chiyang Desert, these guys may grab the camel in their hands.

"Oh! So the old man has also been to the Chiyang Desert?" Chen Yu sighed and stepped down from his horse respectfully.

The old man was secretly pleased that he did go to the Chiyang Desert several times, but to say that it was hundreds of miles deep is purely bragging, and the purpose is to make himself appear knowledgeable, so as to explain the dangers in the Chiyang Desert and let this group The Maotou boy dismissed his plan to go to the Chiyang Desert, so he would not have to lose ten camels.

"Yes, if you say that the number of people who have entered the Chiyang Desert in a radius of a few hundred miles does not exceed ten fingers, the old man is just one of them." The old man said proudly.

Chen Yu was overjoyed, and hurried over, patted the old man on the shoulder.

"Great, we are missing a guide. Let's go, as long as you can lead us into the Chiyang Desert, after returning, all the losses of your caravan will be counted on my head." Chen Yu said in surprise. .

As soon as his words fell, the old man's face instantly collapsed.

"Little brother, I was just bragging. I have never been to the Chiyang Desert once!" the old man said with sad expression.

Chen Yucai didn't believe it, the previous ones were all the same, but now it is too late to regret it.

"I don't care. Anyway, I have borrowed your camels, including your bodyguards in the caravan, and we have also borrowed them. If you go, you have to go, and you have to go if you don't." Chen Yu finished, five Ten people directly pulled out the guy.

Especially Gu Tie, the two sledgehammers in his hand frightened the dozen or so businessmen, and their hands holding the handle of the knife were released, their faces pale and bloodless.

"But old man, don’t worry. I said that all of your caravan’s losses this time will be counted as mine, and it will really be counted as mine. I will never fall back." In order to make these people more positive, Chen Yu gave He got a headache if he left the empty check at the back to prevent this group of people from running away halfway or making trouble.

Under the coercion of force, Chen Yu forcibly reached a consensus with this caravan.
