Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 1513 Warm Camel Milk

Going back seems to be a dead end... The thugs will definitely not let her go so easily, so Claudia is more willing to go to the unknown desert than the torture she will suffer when she goes back.

"Why don't you look nervous at all?" Claudia couldn't help frowning.

She felt that her brain was a little confused... She seemed to be completely unable to remember how she came to this desert - it stands to reason that there must be a journey during this process, but this memory is blurred.

It seems that she has experienced it, and it seems that she has not experienced it... This made her feel a little uneasy - traveling in the cold desert at night amplified this uneasiness infinitely.

Maybe I shouldn't have left the broken house where I was resting...but if I waited for dawn, I might be chased by mobs again.

"Maybe it's because my luck has always been better." Boss Luo said casually, "There is a saying in our place that there is no end to the road."

Claudia rolled her eyes. She really didn't know where this guy's confidence came from... She shook her head and asked suddenly: "You said, I can understand that Aria left suddenly. He is familiar with the terrain and walked alone. It's more convenient...but why is Mr. Otto? They didn't have a bad time before, and Mr. Otto also paid me...my travel expenses with you!"

Luo Qiu thought for a while and said, "Did you see with your own eyes that Mr. Otto paid for the travel expenses for you and me?"

Claudia frowned and said, "Isn't it? At that time, Mr. Otto had already transferred the travel expenses to Aria, so he agreed to bring me and yours! Mobile phone... wait!"

Thinking about it carefully, she really didn't see the transfer record of the toll with her own eyes—that was the operation on the mobile phone—the most she saw was Otto operating the mobile phone, and she only heard Aria say that the account has been paid, it's all right... She did not really see the money.

"Mr. Otto didn't transfer the money at all?" Claudia was startled. "He and Aria are actually acting? But... why did he do that?"

"What do you think?" Luo Qiu asked casually.

Claudia lowered her head and pondered: "In this case, either the two of them are in partnership and want to get travel expenses from me and you...from us...using a very simple herd Psychologically, Otto gave the money very readily at the beginning, but the money was not given at all. And you are determined not to give it, so Otto has to change the original plan!"

"what's the plan."

Claudia said angrily, "Don't you understand? Of course it is to create an image of a good person in front of us! The money was not paid at all, but it was shaped into the person he already is. It looks like paying for us! In this way, we owe him... we owe them 200 million. After we leave the desert, they will definitely think of other ways to make us spit out the money! Why can't you react Come?"

Boss Luo smiled and said, "But actually... they didn't get the money, so they left quietly, didn't they?"

"This...maybe..." Claudia subconsciously said: "Maybe they think that they can't get any money from us, and then they are afraid that they will be chased by mobs if they take us, so they simply leave like this? After all Life is more important?"

"Or, they have already achieved their original purpose."

"Purpose?" Claudia puzzled: "What purpose? They didn't get a penny from us at all! I didn't even give them anything like an IOU! Except for a broken oil lamp . . . You mean, oil lamps?"

"You gave Otto the lamp, didn't you?"

Claudia said helplessly: "I did give it... I'm not used to owing others things, thinking that if this lamp is something valuable, I'd give it to him as a repayment... After all, he did get money from the thugs." He saved us. Without him, we would have been shot by the thugs outside the secret room. But I don't understand why he would do so many things and even ask for the oil lamp. Wouldn't it be more efficient to conspire with Aria to act, ask directly, or even threaten directly?"

"That's right, it's definitely more efficient to ask for it directly." Luo Qiu followed Claudia's train of thought: "After all, according to the situation at the time, they were completely in the upper hand, and they could have let us hand over the oil lamp—but why did they ask for it?" How to do this?"

"Or he is worried about something." Claudia thought for a while, and finally shook her head: "But I really don't understand, what is he worried about? I can't worry about the oil lamp in my hand can really shout The fat blue elf is here, he is afraid that I will use up a wish to save myself, so he came to save me, right?"

"Student Claudia, you are really smart." Boss Luo said with admiration.

Claudia rolled her eyes again, and said rather irritably: "Now I know why you came to the seminary... You are probably a delusional patient who has been poisoned by myths, thinking that there are really gods and monsters in the world! Don't forget, it's not that I haven't touched that lamp, but there is no fat blue elf at all!"

Boss Luo just smiled noncommittally, and then pointed to the front, "There seems to be a light over there... Why don't you go and see, maybe it's Aria and Otto."

On the other side of the sand dunes in front, a faint light could indeed be seen... But if it was said that it was Aria and Otto, Claudia obviously didn't believe it very much-not to mention that they only rely on the North Star to walk, and Aria They don't necessarily go in this direction, even if the direction is the same, but they are riding camels, and they are walking on foot, so it's strange that they can catch up.

But even if it’s not Aria and Otto, even if it’s just a traveler in the desert, it’s good to meet him—at least he can have a chance to seek help from the traveler.

"I hope your luck is really good." Claudia glanced at Luo Qiu, and finally said in a low voice: "Yes... I'm sorry."

"Why do you apologize?" Boss Luo asked curiously.

Claudia hesitated for a while, and then said, "Because...because...you should have a share of the oil lamp, but I, I gave it to Otto in private."

Actually... I didn't trust him at first, because of the travel expenses... But I couldn't say it out loud.

"It's okay." Boss Luo said indifferently: "That oil lamp is of little use to me anymore."

"Then... that's fine." Claudia nodded.

But he didn't hear the true meaning of the sentence - it's not very useful anymore, it was just that Luo Qiu actually regarded the oil lamp as an ordinary object.

They quickly crossed the shimmering sand dunes... Sure enough, it wasn't Aria and Otto, but it wasn't the mob in the camp either, but a small group of nomads.

……

"Oh, they're Bedouins...these two guys are lucky, don't you think so, sir."

On the sand dunes where the faint light came, two figures were looking out—one of them was holding a telescope and talking... It was Aria and Mr. Otto who had taken the water and resources and left quietly. two people.

"The desert always blesses the pure-hearted." Otto said indifferently, "Let's go, I still need your help, Aria."

"Okay sir." Aria smiled, "Who asked me to charge you 300 million?"

Mr. Otto didn't speak, just turned over and got on the camel silently... Aria hurriedly followed, and asked curiously: "Sir, you have worked so hard to get this oil lamp? What's so special about this oil lamp?" of?"

The oil lamp was in Aria's hand at this moment, and he breathed on the oil lamp and wiped it again - probably everyone would do this subconsciously, probably because of some unrealistic delusions.

Mr. Otto didn't even look at it, as if he knew the result long ago, he said indifferently: "For those who are entitled to it, it is a treasure that can fulfill any wish. To you, it is not even worth much. money."

Aria shrugged and threw the oil lamp back to Mr. Otto, "My favorite is a beautiful knife. I don't like cheap things. You white skins are always talking about it. It must be because you have too much money." Local flowers don't know the sadness of the poor at all!"

As he spoke, Aria drove the camel ahead...Mr. Otto looked down at the oil lamp in his hand, as if lost in thought.

"Since I was able to pass the test, I was even brought out... But why didn't I call you out?" Mr. Otto frowned, "Don't you want to see me... Anyway, we haven't seen each other for so many years .”

The oil lamp still looked tattered, and it even seemed to be covered with a layer of dull ash, which no one could wipe off.

At night in the desert, the moon and stars are not rare... Two figures driving camels slowly walked to a deeper place.

……

……

Then came the problem. Although she had already reached the camp of this little nomad, Claudia suddenly remembered a problem-the problem of language barrier.

Although the group of thugs seemed to be locals, they knew British, including Aria, so there was no problem with communication along the way—but what if they were the aborigines living in the desert?

Boss Luo walked up at some point, and started talking with a middle-aged man who came out of the tent.

Not long after, Boss Luo turned around, waved to Claudia, and called her over.

Claudia came to Luo Qiu's side, and she was very surprised: "Do you understand their language?"

- just learned...

Of course, this can’t be said in this way. Luo Qiu just smiled as a response, and then slowly said: "They are Bedouins, nomadic people living in the desert. This gentleman is the leader of this family. The head of the family is called Adili, and the others are his relatives, wives, children, brothers, etc."

"Oh... so it's this, I've heard of it." Claudia nodded, "I heard from my father that this is a very friendly people who like to live freely, so they have always lived in the desert ...Some documentaries have also mentioned their things."

Boss Luo suddenly said: "Student Claudia knows a lot of things, and she understands a lot of things, it's almost like preparing to be an explorer.

Claudia shrugged, "When you have a father who likes to take risks everywhere, you will understand some of this kind of knowledge that is actually not very useful... Okay, let's not talk about this. There should be more than this person here. Mr. Adili's family, right? There should be others nearby?"

Boss Luo nodded: "There is their water supply point nearby, so there will be a lot of Bedouins nearby... I think there are quite a few Bedouins in the mob village we visited before... ..."

Those thugs arrested many people to develop the underground pyramids, but in the end only women and children remained in the village... Claudia had already thought where all the men had gone.

She suddenly shuddered, it wasn't that she knew she was afraid at this time, but that the fear had already surpassed her mental capacity and she couldn't feel it——when she relaxed, she realized the horror of this day. place.

She fell limply to the ground at a young age, her whole body was shaking, her face was pale, and she kept breaking out in cold sweat... Claudia suddenly lost consciousness and passed out completely.

……

Feeling a bit of warmth, Claudia tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy, as if something was stuck, and she could only see a vague figure approaching her in the dark.

"do not come--!"

Her reaction was unusually strong, and she bounced up like a frightened bird. She reached out and grabbed the blanket covering her body tightly. From her face to her eyes, there was something called fear.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"I...I...I don't..." Claudia seemed to calm down, and saw clearly who was coming—her new classmate, so she shook her head, "Forget it, it's okay."

"It's fine." Boss Luo nodded and handed Claudia a bowl, "This is tea made from camel's milk. You must be dehydrated, so you passed out... drink something liquid, Recovery will be quicker."

Claudia hesitated for a while, then reached out to take the bowl, and then drank it in small sips... She stopped suddenly, looked at Luo Qiu, and frowned, "I'm not very used to sleeping, Someone quietly approached me... You, can you next time?"

"Of course." Boss Luo nodded, stood up and said, "It should be an hour before dawn. After drinking tea, you should take a good rest."

Claudia nodded. In fact, she was fully awake. She didn't feel sleepy at this time, but her body was indeed a little weak, so she looked quite bad.

"have a good rest."

"Wait...that, thank you."

"Relax and rest." Boss Luo said casually, "I'll watch outside, no one will approach you quietly."

She opened her mouth and didn't say anything in the end, she just lowered her head and silently drank the warm camel milk in the bowl...I just felt that this new classmate in front of me was really a miraculous person, from being hated to now...Actually , but only half a day.

He actually didn't do anything, but his feelings kept changing.
