Lao Yang's name is Yang Jianhua. He is a villager from a small village on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert. Lao Yang thought that as a farmer in this small village, this generation would end up like this. Every day, he would face the yellow soil and turn his back to the sky. At most, he could go to big cities to work and improve his livelihood!
However, with the improvement of people's living standards and the increasing number of wealthy people in recent years, more and more people have come to explore the Taklamakan Desert. Thanks to this exploration trend, the small village of Lao Yang and his team has become lively due to its proximity to the Taklamakan Desert. However, these were not originally the business of Lao Yang and his team. So, those who come to explore here are just forming groups to follow around the desert, and that's it!
Until more than a decade ago, people who came to explore the Taklamakan Desert were no longer satisfied with just wandering around the desert. They set their sights on the locals near Taklamakan and paid for local people who were familiar with Taklamakan to be guides to lead them through the desert. However, they usually followed the old path taken by the older generation, and many tour groups did the same. Of course, traveling with a group definitely does not have the freedom to hire a guide themselves, which is why the people in Lao Yang's village have an additional source of income!
A few days ago, Lao Yang received another job from more than ten people who wanted to travel through Taklamakan. However, the conditions proposed by these people were somewhat special. They suggested that the route they wanted to take must not be those tourist routes, otherwise there was no intention of exploration. The money offered was so generous that Lao Yang couldn't bear to refuse. In the end, he had to find two good friends to take on this job!
Although they were taking a new route, there was generally no danger at this time. After walking safely for two days, the group encountered a strange young man in the desert. It was also because of the young man's tent that their customers were all hidden in the quicksand. Fortunately, it was only a false alarm in the end. What Lao Yang remembered most was the cute pet and golden eagle of the young man surnamed Zhong. Both things were rare and not something ordinary people could afford, especially the pet named Mao Mao, which had a strong milk fragrance all over its body. Walking behind that little thing was extremely comfortable, and he could always walk with them. Smelling the fragrance, what impressed Lao Yang the most was the physical strength of that little thing. It ran around with the group on the sand, walking more roads than everyone else, and was in great spirits all day long!
Thanks to the golden eagle of the young man surnamed Zhongyuan, they unexpectedly walked into an oasis that day. Although they had never been there before, Lao Yang knew that the oasis was the jade oasis that the older generation called it. To Lao Yang's surprise, the young man surnamed Zhong took out a fishing rod from his bag and came to the desert to play fishing? Even Lao Yang, who has lived around Taklamakan for generations, admires him greatly. What's even more amazing is that there are actually fish in that pond, and one of them was caught by that little animal called Mao Mao. At that time, even Lao Yang's mood was very good!
However, not long after, Lao Yang couldn't be happy anymore because he found the traces of wolves in the oasis, and according to the young man, those wolves were only a few kilometers around here. Although he didn't know why the young man was so certain, Lao Yang immediately believed the young man's words and discussed with several guides about how to deal with them at night!
Then, destined for that day to be a turbulent one, while preparing to cook, the young man boldly wandered around the oasis and unexpectedly picked up a worn-out curved knife. If it was just a curved knife, it would be fine, but there were actually two pigeon blood rubies on the curved knife. Although Lao Yang didn't know the value of these things, he knew from Xiao Yang's words that he had found valuable treasures!
What excited Lao Yang the most was that after looking at the two gems, someone in the team suggested going to dig out the place where the curved knife was. Maybe there was something underneath. The young man was also very pleased and suggested taking everyone there after eating. Although the footprints of the young man were so obvious that everyone could definitely find them as long as they followed the footprints, everyone actually accepted the young man's words and ran to cook. Then they hurriedly finished eating and followed the young man with the rice bowl to dig up something!
Thinking of this, Lao Yang couldn't help but admire the young man's composure. If there was really something down there, it would be like picking up money. However, the young man didn't have the slightest intention of making a move. After finishing his meal, he watched them digging beside him. Lao Yang thought to himself at the time, this young man must be a very prestigious person, and he is also very wealthy. Otherwise, who wouldn't like things that can be obtained by making a move like this?
Everyone was undoubtedly lucky. There was something in the sandy bottom, and the first thing was actually dug out by the three guides. Although the value of those things was not yet known, Lao Yang seemed to have felt that his happy days were not far away. After a few hours of digging, everyone had made significant gains. Even the young people in the city worked extremely hard. After harvesting a lot of things, the young man reminded everyone that it was almost dark. It was not until half a day later that everyone realized there were wolves in this oasis. He packed up his things and ran to the campsite to start a fire and count the things!
When everyone was in high spirits, it was the young man who reminded them that the wolves had arrived. Although they hadn't seen the wolves at the time, everyone chose to believe the young man's words. The fact was that the wolves had really arrived, and after discussing for a long time, there was no good solution. They had to gather around the bonfire and spend time with the wolves. The only one who seemed to be fearless was the young man who ran to the tent to sleep on his own. The fact proved that the young man was really good. The wolves didn't have any problems all night and stayed quietly in Fang not far away!
When dawn broke, the young man emerged from the tent with great energy. Only then did everyone agree to leave this place quickly, even if it was better to be followed by those wolves than to stay here. To everyone's shock, the young man actually said at that moment that he wanted to stay. At that moment, Old Yang even doubted whether the young man was sleeping foolishly!
In fact, it was the group of people who left in the end who were foolish. Seeing those wolf packs abandon the young man and want to follow everyone, Lao Yang and the others felt a cold sweat, but they also felt somewhat relaxed in their hearts. After all, those wolves wanted to stay, and although the young man was not afraid, God knew if he would still have a life!
When the wolves were about to pass by the young man, Old Yang clearly saw that the wolves wanted to avoid him. What was even more shocking was that the young man took a few steps to block the way when the wolves wanted to avoid him. The wolves seemed foolish and hurriedly stopped not far from the young man. Old Yang didn't know what the wolves were worrying about and didn't dare to attack the young man. However, from this, Old Yang knew that the young man was not lying. He was not afraid of those wolves, and from then on, the group parted ways with the young man!
Because they were afraid that the wolves would chase after them, the group of people who left the oasis didn't even stop to rest at noon. Everyone collectively agreed to end the expedition on their way back. It only took two days to return from the three-day journey!
After parting ways with Yang Hua and the others, the three of them brought their camels and dug something back home and gathered together to discuss. In the end, in order to try the water, the three of them brought a blue and white bowl to the antique shop in the town to test the price. With just one mouth, the shop owner offered 8000 yuan to purchase the clear flower bowl. When Lao Yang and the others came, they were just trying the water and naturally had no intention of selling it. However, it was also because of this that the shop owner thought that a few people knew the price and didn't want to sell it. The second time they opened their mouths, the price suddenly increased by 10000 or 18000 yuan. Lao Yang and the others didn't dare to sell it at that time. They quickly left the shop with their things in hand, and when they were about to leave, the shop owner seemed to also say... He was so ruthless that he opened his mouth and shouted '30000', which seemed like a curse that placed the three of them at the entrance of the store!
Thirty thousand? You should know that Lao Yang and the three of them worked together to dig up about ten things. Even if there were a few that were slightly damaged, there were still seven or eight that were intact. Does that mean that the three of them spent tens of thousands of yuan each in just a few days out this time? And there must be such things in the desert!
The three of them were a little excited when they thought of this. They ran home and sold more than ten blue and white porcelain items in that antique shop. The ten items were sold for 300000 yuan, and the three of them each received 100000 yuan. As soon as they thought there were still many things in the desert, Lao Yang and the others stopped trying to teach the boss some 'petty gains'!
Unfortunately, sometimes what should be yours is yours, and even if it's not yours, you won't get it. The three of them, Lao Yang and others, received the money and haven't warmed up yet when the owner of the antique shop brought a group of police officers to find someone. Lao Yang and the others didn't spend a penny of the money and were arrested on charges of stealing and selling national cultural relics!
The regret of the three of them, if it weren't for being too arrogant and selling everything at once, wouldn't have brought them to jail. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret at this time. The three of them, Old Yang, who were arrested and taken to the Public Security Bureau, honestly told the story of their trip!
After being detained for a day, the police took Lao Yang and the others out and asked the three of them to take cultural relics from relevant departments to the scene for inspection. All three of them were honest farmers who dared to say anything and obediently nodded in agreement. They went out with cultural experts who had been prepared for a day, as well as some security guards with guns and ammunition!
Due to guilt, the three of them, Old Yang and the experts, took a detour. They were indeed harmed by those things, but it can only be blamed on themselves. The three of them are very grateful to Zhongyuan and hope that when they arrive there again, Zhongyuan has already left. With the intentional delay of the three guides, a group of dozens of people and camels finally arrived at the sand dune where Zhongyuan met them after three days!
We've all arrived here, let's go. Hopefully Brother Zhong has already left! "Sighed Old Yang, with a bitter expression on his face, as he said to the other two guides beside him!
Facing the scorching sun, the group headed towards the final half-hour journey of the Emerald Oasis!
