"It's Huda's emissary, an elf of the desert, not an ordinary wild camel... I chased it last night, it's blasphemy..."
After getting up from the ground, the Uighur old man kept talking, his eyes were full of fascination when he looked at the wild camel, as if he was looking at some peerless treasure.
Gradually, Chen Mu finally understood some meaning from the old man's incoherent words.
It turns out that the white dromedary camels are very sacred animals to the people who believe in Hu Da in the desert. According to legend, they are the messengers of Hu Da, which means God's envoy.
Every time a white single-humped wild camel appears, it comes with Hu Da's will. Only those who are blessed by Hu Da can get its favor.
Chen Mu didn't know much about what the old man believed in, at most he knew some customs and taboos, but at this moment he could feel the excitement of the Uighur old man, just like seeing a miracle.
So you are so awesome
Chen Mu looked curiously at the camels in the field.
This guy still looked like he couldn't wake up, and moved his mouth from time to time, revealing the teeth inside. There was nothing special about that silly look at all.
Is there something wrong here
Chen Mu didn't quite understand, so he could only continue to wash off all the foam on this guy with water, packed his things, and then poured the milk into a big bowl: "Drink it!"
The wild camel grinned at Chen Mu, then lowered its head to drink milk.
After so many encounters, Chen Mu finally got a little bit of this guy's temper. When he smiled at people, he was happy and happy.
While Chen Mu was drinking milk from the wild camels, he turned his head and glanced at the Uighur old man.
I saw the old man cautiously looking over here, with the look of wanting to get close but not daring to get close, it was really sad.
"Come here, Uncle Aizmat, it is not afraid of people."
"Can... can you?"
The old Uighur swallowed.
Chen Mu waved: "Come on, it is the most obedient when it is drinking milk."
Hearing the words, the old Uighur finally took a deep breath and walked over slowly.
His steps were lighter than ever before, as if walking on tiptoe.
When the Uighur old man approached, the wild camel seemed to sense something, suddenly raised his head, and glanced at the Uighur old man.
The old Uyghur man was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped back a few steps to keep a distance, for fear of disturbing the envoy.
Seeing this, Chen Mu frowned, couldn't help but patted the guy's head with his hands, and complained: "What are you doing? Drink yours obediently..."
"Take it easy, take it easy, ouch, Xiao Mu, take it easy, don't mess around."
Before Chen Mu could finish his sentence, the old Uighur could not help but whisper, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with Chen Mu beating the head of the god.
Chen Mu withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and said to the old Uighur: "Uncle Aizmaiti, don't be afraid, come and touch it, it really doesn't recognize life."
"Forget it!"
This time, the Uyghur old man shook his head resolutely, and after thinking for a while, he said to Chen Mu seriously: "Xiao Mu, I want to take a leave of absence and go back for a while."
"ah?"
This was a bit sudden, and Chen Mu asked curiously: "Uncle Aizmaiti, it's okay to ask for leave. Is there anything urgent for you? Do you need my help?"
The Uyghur old man said: "I'm going back and ask someone to come and have a look at it... look at it, can you make it... make it not go away?"
Chen Mu turned his head and glanced at the wild camel. He really wasn't sure if he could keep the camel. This guy usually ran away after drinking the milk, so he was very heartless.
But after pondering for a while, he quickly replied: "Uncle Aizmaiti, it comes to drink milk every day, you go and invite someone, if it leaves, wait until tomorrow."
"Good!"
The Uighur old man turned around and trotted to lead the donkey, and left the gas station in a hurry.
When the old man walked away, Chen Mu turned around, patted the wild camel's head again in a wicked way, and asked, "Hey, are you really Hu Da's emissary? Since you are so awesome...well, can you Can't speak?"
The wild camel ignored him and continued drinking milk.
Chen Mu said to himself: "But it's true, the little square seal you sent to my brother is a bit magical, isn't it something you guys are arrogant about?"
The wild camel still didn't look up.
Chen Mu turned his head to look left and right, then lowered his voice and said, "Why don't I make a consultation with you, you can go back and see if there are more things like Xiaofangyin, and send them all together. How about you add milk?"
Wild camelbirds don't bird him.
After a while, the milk in the big bowl bottomed out.
The wild camel raised its head and smiled at Chen Mu, then turned around and trotted away.
Chen Mu looked at its back helplessly, and shouted: "Hey, remember to come tomorrow, Uncle Aizmaiti is going back to find someone, don't miss you tomorrow, and let him make a trip for nothing."
The guy didn't know if he heard it, but he ran away quickly and finally disappeared into the desert.
Chen Mu shook his head helplessly, turned and returned to the business room.
He had just watched TV for a while, when suddenly there was the sound of a car coming into the station outside. He looked out the window, and it turned out that the forestry company's truck had arrived to deliver the saplings.
When the goods arrived, they signed for the receipt. After the work was done, the people from the forestry company unloaded the saplings and left without taking a sip of water.
Chen Mu looked at the saplings. Most of them were small saplings less than one meter long, and it didn't seem like much work.
Anyway, there is no one at the gas station now, so Chen Mu went back to his room and changed into his work clothes, then took a few saplings and a shovel, and started his tree planting plan.
After passing through the green belt, there is a sandy land behind.
The sandy soil here is very soft, a shovel goes down into a hole, and it is not difficult to dig it.
Dig the hole big and deep, put the saplings in, fill the hole, pat the soil a little, and it's over.
Watering can be put aside for a while, and after a few plants are planted, they will be watered uniformly.
"Mist grass, the work of planting trees...is really tiring!"
Not long after, after planting about twenty Populus euphratica trees, Chen Mu felt tired, and his mouth and throat were dry.
In this desert, the highest temperature reaches forty degrees during the day, which can directly dry people out, but at night, it will drop directly below zero, which can freeze people to death.
It was noon now, although Chen Mu was wearing a hat, he still felt that he was not exposed to the sun, so he put on a scarf to cover half of his face, making him look like those chiefs in Saudi Arabia.
After planting a Haloxylon tree in hand, Chen Mu couldn't bear it any longer, threw down the shovel, turned around and went back to the business room to get a bottle of iced Coke, opened it with a "chi" and poured it directly.
"Uh... cool!"
He hiccupped full, and a cold feeling enveloped his whole body, as if his whole body had been sublimated, and he could no longer feel the heat wave around him.
Alas, it is not easy for the working people!
