Chapter 742: The Shepherd Old Man
Layers of arid land, who would have thought that there is such a pure land in the endless yellow sand that seems to have no end.
This may be the great magic of heaven and earth, and this pure land surrounded by a sea of sand is full of greenery.
Walking in the forest, the cool breeze blows, there is no trace of dry heat, and even the sun has become much gentler.
"Hello, uncle!"
Seeing that there was an old shepherd, Tang Luotong and Ye Chen immediately walked over.
They don't know much about this place, and they don't know if language can communicate.
Seeing that the old man was wearing a local national costume, Tang Luotong stepped forward and said in English.
Because of the colonies, in many parts of Africa, in addition to the local language, English is also the dominant language.
Although the previous history was a lot of blood debts, at least for today, there are more opportunities for communication.
"Hello, it looks like you're embarrassed!"
Sure enough, the shepherd could speak English, and his smile made his face wrinkled even more.
Now Ye Chen and Tang Luotong were still wet, and when they heard the words of the shepherd old man, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Their experience was so embarrassing, it was definitely a life of nine deaths, and they were able to survive, thanks to Ye Chen's desperate rescue.
"Uncle, what's the name of this place? Are there supplies in town? ”
Asking for directions is a better thing for girls to do, soak for a while to relax, but the body is still very tired.
Tang Luotong sat directly on the stone next to the shepherd old man, and Ye Chen also sat down, looking the old man in front of him up and down.
Judging by his age, he should be in his seventies, and he is amiable with a kind smile.
The sheep on the side are still leisurely grazing, and such a lazy life has a special atmosphere.
"This place is called the gem town, it was very lively back then, the camel caravan from the south to the north has to be replenished here, don't look at our place here, but it is a good place for outstanding people, it is the best place for God to live for us, there are a lot of supplies in the gem town in front, as long as you have money, you can also go to gamble a few handfuls."
The shepherd's old man smiled and introduced the two of them to this gem town in the desert.
I have to say that this place is indeed like a jewel, set in the vast desert.
For thousands of years, if you want to cross the desert, you must come here to replenish supplies.
Of course, with the advent of modern tools, more people choose to fly and it is no longer so important.
But camel caravans still exist, even if they are small, and with such a beautiful scenery, it has become a favorite attraction for many tourists.
However, the country is in turmoil, the number of tourists has decreased significantly, and the glory of the past no longer exists, but it still maintains the ability to replenish.
"There is a very long place here, when Persia was still preparing to invade here, but sent 20,000 troops, all disappeared without a trace, so this is also known as the place where the gods are sheltered, every inch of land here is very spiritual, especially the existence of the holy spring, it has unimaginable magical power, there are casinos and divination in the town, there should be a bonfire parade at night, this is definitely the happiest place!"
Maybe it's because I see a beautiful woman abroad, or maybe it's because I'm bored alone, anyway, the shepherd old man who opened the conversation chattered eloquently, and he didn't have the intention of preparing to rest at all.
"Okay, thank you, uncle, let's go to the town first!"
If you continue to talk like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it until dark, but the words made Tang Luotong and Ye Chen more familiar with this place.
Hungry, the two of them can't listen to it like this, Tang Luotong stood up and said kindly to the old man.
"Go, go, good luck!"
The old shepherd nodded with a smile, the color of a mountain flower on his wrinkled face.
got up to say goodbye to the old man, and the two of them walked towards the town in the distance, but from beginning to end, Ye Chen didn't say a word.
Walking far away, he also turned his head to look at the old man sitting under the tree, and the old man also smiled and waved his hand at him, this enthusiasm made Ye Chen feel a little strange.
"What's wrong? Do you still want to chat more with the elderly? ”
Tang Luotong saw Ye Chen turn around, and he also turned his face with a smile and nodded at the old man.
Ye Chen didn't say a word just now, but now why did he go to see him again.
"No, I always feel that something is wrong, this old man is really fluent in English!"
Ye Chen frowned, this old man always had something strange about him, but he couldn't say it.
"It's good, hospitable locals, but we don't have any money right now, so what if we have supplies?"
Tang Luotong didn't feel that there was anything wrong, the old shepherd was very kind, and what she was most worried about now was that the two of them had nothing to do.
He only has thin clothes left, and Ye Chen is still wearing shorts, not even a top.
Although she has tens of millions of assets in China, no one knows her when she goes abroad.
The two of them have no money, as the saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero, and no matter how rich the family is, it is not easy to use it now.
"Don't worry, I'm here, didn't I say there is a casino!"
One sentence diverted Ye Chen's attention, and Ye Chen, who walked through the woods to the town, did not continue to think.
For what happened just now, if he continued to think about it, he might find out what the problem was, and it would become the thing he regretted the most in his life.
Afterwards, he always blamed himself, why didn't he doubt it a little more, if it was in normal times, he would definitely think about it.
But now the two of them are hungry, filling their stomachs is the most important thing, there is not much time left for them, according to Ye Chen's estimate, the wild wolf with support all the way may arrive tomorrow morning, so they will leave here in the morning at the latest.
As she spoke, Tang Luotong's spirit for the rest of her life after the catastrophe was much better, and now as long as she eats something, she will be more satisfied.
By the time they arrived at the town, it was already afternoon, and the whole town was made up of wooden houses, except for a stone-paved main street, and a backstreet on the left and right.
There are a lot of people in the town, and there are also tourists of all colors stopping here, judging from the more than 200 cars parked outside the town, this town with a population of 1,000 is still very lively, the streets and alleys are full of men in white robes and women in black robes, and a large number of camel caravans are parked there.
A camel was also drinking water in a special resting place at this time, while Ye Chen was standing on the street, his eyes were rolling left and right, he was looking for a target.
