System: I open an inn in the desert

Chapter 396 Entering the Desert

Early the next morning, Lin Yu led others into the desert.

Except when he was first thrown in, Lin Yu had not walked such a long journey in the desert for a long time. Especially after the greening of the inn became better and better, the grassland was his playground for galloping.

There was no wind at the moment, the sun had just risen, and the temperature in the desert was still cool.

The group of people were dressed very similarly, wearing jackets, goggles, hats, scarves and masks, all of which covered themselves so that only their eyes were exposed.

"How much longer?"

Lin Yu set up a pergola and looked into the distance. All he could see was the vast sea of ​​sand. The golden color divided the boundary between heaven and earth, making people lose their keen judgment on the direction.

"It will take about two hours. We have to replenish water first, at the oasis they often go to."

Said an old man dressed as a guide next to Ke Feiming.

This old man was the guide specially hired by Zhang Lusheng to lead Lin Yu and others to the three villages that refused to move, and also acted as a lobbyist to persuade the elderly in the villages.

"Okay Uncle Noor, we will follow you and listen to you today, let's set off."

The sand dune is divided into Yin and Yang sides by the sunlight. The golden-red sand grains on the sunny side are like crystal brown sugar. The slight wind blows on the dark side, causing the fine yellow sand to move from its original position. The camel team walks in a row on the backbone of the dune. Long shadows trailed on the ground...

Two hours later.

Everyone found the oasis that was said to have allowed three villages to persist in the desert for so long. But when they saw it, everyone except the guide was a little surprised, because most of the vegetation around this so-called oasis had dried up and died, leaving only water. The circle on the side is still struggling tenaciously, and the water in the middle is so shallow that you can see the bottom at a glance.

It can be seen that it is not long before this water source completely disappears.

"Let's wait here for a while. We set off early today. It's almost time for them to come to get water. It will be convenient for us to follow them into the village then."

"Okay, Fei Ming, let's arrange for everyone to repair it on the spot."

Ke Feiming nodded in agreement and went to make arrangements for everyone.

Lin Yu circled around the small puddle and successfully lit up another gray area on the map. After scanning the terrain, he discovered that this water source was not as pitiful as it seemed.

"The water veins are sinking and flowing back into the underground river. However, it is not a small project to use human resources to mine this height."

Lin Yu looked at the clear markings on the map and sighed: "I want to know even more why they insist on living here. The environment has become so bad that if they don't go out..."

"Yes, according to the current level of science and technology, if you use machines, it is possible to dig out water sources in a short time and continue to supply the village. However, the environment here is limited. If large machines are brought in, the cost will be too expensive, and it is not worth the loss for ordinary villagers. Affordable.”

Systematic rational analysis.

Everyone was sitting around repairing and chatting. The sun was gradually rising and the temperature was rising. But before everyone was ready to move to a different place to set up an awning to escape the heat, a group of camels came from a distance.

Looking at the direction, the destination is this small oasis.

Nuer squinted his eyes, and his wrinkles formed ravine shadows in the light. He looked at them for a while and then said: "It's them, these young people who are looking at the decoration of Id Kah Village. I'll go over and say hello."

Several young people rode camels near the oasis. When they saw these people near the water source, they reined in the camels and did not approach immediately.

The old man took off the scarf that covered his face and walked over. The young man in the lead was obviously relieved. He was the first to get off the camel and hugged Nuer skillfully, and whispered something.

Lin Yu and the others stood where they were, waiting for them to communicate.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Yu happened to take a look at the other party's equipment and camel. To be honest, after seeing their dressing up and equipment clearly, Boss Lin became more confident in persuading the other party to move.

Because the comparison of the appearance of the two sides is really a bit... tragic.

Maybe this adjective is a little inappropriate, but in such a short time, Lin Yu couldn't think of a more suitable word to describe it.

Several young people were wrapped tightly, but it could still be seen that they all had lean figures. The clothes they were wearing were very old styles sold in small towns, and judging from the condition, it was obvious that they had been worn for a long time. .

Let's talk about the camels they came riding.

At this moment, the young people got off their camels and stood with Nuer. The camels they brought relaxed and strolled over to drink water. Amao was also drinking here with his younger brothers. The two-room camel team stood Together, that contrast...

Those camels may be in the molt period due to food problems or climate reasons. The hair on their bodies has been picked very short, and in some places, pieces of skin have fallen off, which really doesn't look very nice.

On the Amao side, it's just the opposite, because most of the camels in the inn are used to carry passengers. In addition, in order to build a reputation, the camel team is particularly particular about the appearance of the camels. In addition to regular hair trimming and beauty care, In addition, there are also accessories such as woven saddles and gaiters.

Not to mention the Amao produced by the system. As a specially bred breed, it not only has a faster speed than all camels, but also has good looks.

After autumn, the hair on its body begins to grow wildly.

Now my whole body is covered with long hair that is flowing and smooth, and only my lower legs are left with short hair to facilitate movement.

From a distance, it looks like a moving lion cub, majestic.

Now that the two sides are standing together, the contrast effect is too obvious. Those camels lower their heads to drink water, and Amao's head is almost raised to the sky.

Not a moment later.

Nuer brought the leading young man over to introduce Lin Yu. After the two parties passed their names, they didn't exchange much greetings.

"I know the purpose of your coming, but it's useless for us to agree. You have to convince Abdul."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yu knew the other party's attitude.

They are willing to move, but only if they are responsible for convincing the most influential person.

Now that he knew that the key was not with these young people, Lin Yu relaxed and chatted for a while. He felt more relaxed after knowing that everyone was of the same age. He also briefly learned about life in the village from the conversation.

Just as Lin Yu imagined, the life in those three villages was not only simple, it could even be called barren.

Three meals a day are all shelf-stable food, and vegetables and meat are rarely eaten. As for water, it is too precious and is even required to be limited. It is more like an ascetic life than daily life.

They are more like practitioners who are separated from daily desires. It seems that besides simply eating and drinking, the cultivation of the spiritual world is more important.
