When dusk fell, Wei Ran and Felix were once again tied up with their hands and lifted onto the shelves on both sides of the camel. Fortunately, this time they finally didn’t have to put their heads against the camel’s butt.
However, the blankets covering their heads were not late, and their eyes were even covered with an extra layer of thick black cloth.
After walking slowly and continuously for three days, the camel team finally stopped in the shadow of a mountain that was very familiar to Wei Ran.
"This is the capture point that Edward said." Wei Ran looked at the mountains stretching four to five hundred meters in silence, waiting patiently for the arrival of the British.
I don’t know if it was the effect of wind transport, but the most obvious difference between the mountain he saw at this time and the mountain in later generations was that there was not much yellow sand accumulated on the east side of the mountain, or even You can also see some green plants growing close to the foot of the mountain, as well as spring water seeping from the cracks in the rocks.
This spring water is not big, at most it can only be regarded as water drops connected to a line. But even such a small stream of water, given enough time, can accumulate enough fresh water for everyone.
Under the slopes of the robe brothers, Wei Ran and Felix each held a shovel and dug out the yellow sand that was wet by the small spring water in the scorching sun. Soon, a layer of cold spring water accumulated under their feet.
Continuing to dig deeper, a rusty iron bucket appeared under the moist and cold yellow sand. It was only then that the two of them were pulled aside, and then the men in robes swarmed up. , dug out the wet sand that filled the iron buckets and wrapped them in cloth, squeezed the water inside into small leather buckets, and lined up to feed the camels carrying heavy goods.
Perhaps because of the hard work that Wei Ran and Felix put in, that afternoon, the two of them even got a few extra sweet and spicy dried dates, as well as some unknown ingredients. Bacon made from animal meat.
In addition, the two of them have no restrictions on drinking water this time. They can even walk to the edge of the iron bucket and drink as much as they want or even use iron
The wet sand around the bucket is fine for a bath.
After two days of waiting, several more camel teams, large or small, arrived here.
Without exception, these camel teams all carried their own goods, and the open space beside the small spring, after tents were set up one by one, seemed to become a place for them to barter. market.
Some of these camel teams brought dates, some brought cloth and even various hot and cold weapons that were already outdated even in this era. But the most popular thing was the salt bricks brought by the camel team that captured Wei Ran and Felix.
However, at this time, both Weiran and Felix had become commodities waiting to be sold by the camel team. Under the scorching sun, the two of them were each wearing only a pair of shorts and were tied to two rocks far apart. From time to time, they would be seen wearing various colors.The old man in the robe came up and asked the person standing next to them something.
Although he couldn't understand what they said, Wei Ran could see that the prices offered by those buyers were obviously not satisfactory to the old man in blue robe. Accordingly, Wei Ran and Felix were exposed to the sun for a whole day.
It was not until dusk that Wei Ran was untied from his hands and feet. Under the escort of two soldiers carrying rifles, he was able to drink some water at the spring. Felix, on the other hand, fell into a coma due to heatstroke. He was completely stripped naked and buried in the wet sand in advance, waiting to take root and sprout.
"Aren't you going to sell us to the British? They will definitely offer you a price that satisfies you." Wei Ran asked hoarsely when he saw the old man in blue robe standing not far away.
"The British can indeed offer me a price that satisfies me."
The old man in blue robe walked up to Wei Ran with great interest and threw over two sweet and sweet ones. Dried dates, replied extraordinarily candidly, "But the risk of doing business with them is too high. Those untrustworthy bastards prefer to just steal what they want just like they did decades ago."
< p>"Is there anyone here who can buy us?" Wei Ran asked."There will be someone who can offer me a price that I am satisfied with
"
The old man in blue robe once again threw a dried date to Wei Ran, "Tell me "Your companions, if you don't want to die of thirst before being sold, just be honest."
After saying that, the blue-robed man waved his hand and followed the two men behind Wei Ran. The man in robe holding a rifle immediately pushed him into the innermost part of the camel team's camp.
Looking at the haggard Felix, who was only wrapped in a blanket, Wei Ran was too lazy to say anything else and took his own blanket to cover himself.
In the blink of an eye, early the next morning, several more camel teams loaded with goods came over. Wei Ran and Felix were tied to the rocks again just before the sun rose. . Only this time, Felix looked completely naked.
Under such humiliation, Felix's entire face was completely distorted. Unfortunately, the curses shouted from his mouth only received laughter and applause from the potential buyers around him. Just a sound.
The man in white robe standing next to him spoke very fast and made the atmosphere more and more lively.
From morning to noon, more and more camel caravan leaders came to inquire. Finally, the leader of a camel caravan used twenty Carcano rifles equipped by the Italian army and four unopened rifles. At the cost of the ammunition box, Wei Ran, who was sunk and depressed, and Felix, whose eyes were dull all over, were taken away.
Of course, there are also all the items seized from them except the lighter that has been held by the old man in blue robe.
After this resale, the treatment of Weiran and Felix also plummeted. Although they were still tied to LuoOn the camel, although his face was also covered tightly with blankets, he never stopped since he set off. During this period, in addition to changing camels again and again, he could only get a small amount of drinking water and water at most. Just a few dried dates.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the blanket was lifted, the first thing Wei Ran saw, who was almost unconscious, was a group of British soldiers and several wheeled reconnaissance vehicles with machine guns around them.
Check the car.
I raised my head hard and looked behind me. Except for a child in a gray robe standing in the distance and the dromedary next to him, there was no longer any camel team.
On the other hand, there was an open wooden box tied to the hump beside Wei Ran. Beside the box, you could still see the submachine gun that Felix had discarded and the telescope belt hanging on the barrel. .
"Hurry up and untie them, where are the medics and medics?"
A British officer with a pipe in his mouth joked loudly, "This is what we have to do with a hundred Thanks to the purchase of an Italian rifle, if the two of them die, you will not be able to drink black tea in the next month."
"Being sold as goods is really an unforgettable and painful experience." While Wei Ran was muttering to himself, he allowed the rich white light to fill his field of vision. ,Please remember:,Free fastest update No anti-theft No anti-theft
