Because from ancient times to the present, no one has ever found the Guchi Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Immortal God. If they never find the Guchi Kingdom, won’t they have to be sheep for the rest of their lives?

Although the grass tastes quite delicious.

But they miss the plump, juicy and golden-roasted whole lamb even more.

Jin An gave them hope. In order to return to their human bodies as soon as possible, the two began to think hard about more details of the tomb murals they saw that day, and to help Jin An find the location of Guchi Kingdom as soon as possible.

At this time, Jin An asked about another thing: "Can I ask, you hate the Han people so much, what happened to make you hate the Han people so much?"

Old Sadiq and young Sahav were silent at first, and then told the truth truthfully.

In fact, this matter is not complicated.

A year ago, Sahafu rescued a group of Kangding people who almost died of thirst in the desert. However, instead of repaying their kindness, they repaid their kindness with hatred. There was already a lack of water in the desert, and the villagers were miserable every day.

They were living a good life, but in the end, the gang stole all the water that was left in the village.

The group stole the village's life-saving water and continued heading deeper into the desert.

That group of people is very vicious.

In order to prevent the villagers from catching up with them, they poisoned the camels in the village and collapsed the village's only well, deliberately leaving the villagers without water so that no one would chase them.

That group of outsiders was rescued by Sahafu, who blamed himself so much that he almost couldn't think about it.

Later, we met the vultures.

The Vultures just needed a guide who was familiar with the nearby terrain. The Vultures saw that Sadiq had seen the world. When he was young, he accompanied the Western merchants in the desert and knew many languages, so he agreed to take Sadiq with him, as long as Sadiq was willing to stay forever.

If you swear loyalty to him, he can solve the water problem for the village.

At that time, Sahab could not speak Han Chinese and had not seen much of the world. The Vulture originally did not want to be a burden, but Sahab insisted on going out of the village to look for water with him, and the Vulture reluctantly agreed. The reason why now

I learned to speak Chinese later with the team.

In fact, the two knew very well that Vulture and the others were not good people. As early as the moment they followed Vulture and the others out of the village, they knew that their souls had been sold to the devil. In order to find new water for the village, they were willing to sacrifice everything, even if

Give your life.

Later, when the vulture kept refusing to help the village find water, Sadiq and Sahav gradually became suspicious, and the vulture also noticed that the two had different intentions. The two began to be ostracized in the team and were pushed to the edge.

.

If it weren't for the fear that their escape would implicate the village and expose them to vulture revenge, the two of them would have run away unbearably.

On the way, we walked left and chatted. The camel caravan was still moving along the ancient river.

The ancient river channels along the way are deep and shallow. Sometimes the ancient river channels are interrupted and buried by yellow sand. After walking for several days, the ancient river channels can be seen again.

Big Beard said that this ancient river slowly disappears due to wind and sand erosion every year. It is estimated that in a thousand years, this ancient river that has been dry for thousands of years will completely disappear, and no one will use this trade road anymore.

In the next month, the journey was peaceful, and we didn't encounter any devils or sand bandits. Under the guidance of these experienced businessmen from the Western Regions, we didn't even encounter quicksand.

But for people who often spend a year and a half crossing the desert, this month of peace is really insignificant in the vast sea of ​​​​sand. There is still a longer journey ahead, and accidents happen all the time.

And the weather at this time.

It has gradually entered mid-November.

The temperature in the desert becomes even lower at night and in the morning.

Three days later, in a small country called Zmo Country, the caravan and Jin'an began to separate. Jin'an was going to the depths of the desert in the southwest, running counter to the route of Big Beard and Uncle Kremu. The caravan was going to follow

The ancient river bed continues all the way north.
