The underground sand cave mentioned here is somewhat similar to quicksand, but it is different from quicksand.

The Gurbantunggut Desert is considered a semi-artificial desert, and the entire area is not all desert. There are many mining areas, and the climate is relatively temperate.

Therefore, the desert here is not as harsh as other natural deserts, and there are many underground crises.

However, most places in Xinjiang have dense underground tombs, so sometimes there will be some potholes and the like, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be accidents.

And for animals, no matter what kind of desert, the biggest danger is the water source.

They insisted on finding a guide, half of which was to find a water source during the period, otherwise even if they replaced all their supplies with water, there would be no guarantee of accidents.

The child said with such certainty that there is an underground sand cave similar to quicksand, it doesn't look like it is nonsense.

"Don't you believe me, I even picked up treasures in a sand cave before!" Seeing his suspicious expression, the black and thin boy immediately gritted his teeth and emphasized.

"Oh? What baby?" Gu Mu raised his eyebrows, seeing his eagerness and trying to pretend to be calm, he couldn't help but want to tease him again, "If you really have some baby, you wouldn't be in such a miserable situation now. "

Hearing this, the skinny boy turned blue, "I did pick up a treasure that looked like a water bottle, but it was snatched away later, and I was expelled from that area because I offended the snakehead over there. I have no choice but to come to Shihezi City."

The boy said, with unconcealable resentment on his face, and a dark and fierce glint in his pupils.

Gu Mu raised his eyebrows, exchanged glances with Gu Yi, and made a decision in his heart.

At this moment the doorbell rang suddenly.

The two boys were taken aback again, but the slightly tense atmosphere in the room also dissipated a bit.

Gu Mu got up and went to open the door.

Yuan Hu asked them if they wanted breakfast.

He happened to see the boy in the white robe from his angle, and couldn't help being curious, "What are you doing, who is that? How could there be a child?"

Gu Mu let him in sideways, and smiled while closing the door, "I was going to tell you, the guide has found it."

"Ah? A guide? Didn't you say... where? Who is it?" Yuan Hu was suddenly surprised, and then surprised again.

"Here, that's him." Gu Mu walked up to the black and thin boy, held his shoulders with both hands, and introduced with a smile, "His name is Heizi, and he will be our desert guide in the future."

The black and thin boy's body stiffened immediately, but a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

Yuan Hu: "..."

He was stunned for a long time, pointing his finger at the black and thin boy, speechless for a while, "Are you kidding me?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Yi again.

But Gu Yi was drinking tea with his back turned to him.

"Ah."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Yuan Hu came to his senses completely, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, and immediately became anxious.

Pointing to the black and skinny boy, he said, "What can this little kid do? I guess he didn't know everything about it. We're going to go into the desert. Bringing a kid might get in the way."

When the black and thin boy heard this, the complacency on his face was replaced by annoyance in an instant, and he stared at Yuan Hu and the wolf cub who was only threatened and ready to bite.

"I know your concerns. Anyway, you'll know when the time comes if you have any real skills. If you really don't have any, just don't take it further." Gu Mu waved his hand indifferently.

In fact, he didn't think this kid really knew much about the desert, but he probably had some knowledge, and maybe it would be useful at that time.

"What do you think, Brother Gu?" Yuan Hu frowned, still disapproving.

"No objection." Gu Yi said lightly.

Even after he said that, Yuan Hu's face suddenly collapsed. Looking at the other party's expression, he was sure that there was no room for change in this matter, and there was nothing he could do.

"Then I'll talk to other people first, and then try it on the periphery. If it's really not useful, I can't bring it."

"That's natural."

Yuan Hu got the letter, and then he left the room with his breakfast in his hand. Anyway, they were just 'followers' this time.

After he left, Gu Mu looked at the two little boys, and finally fixed his eyes on the black and thin boy again.

"Your name is Heizi, right?"

"Well, I can be your guide, but I have conditions."

"Let's hear it?" From the kid's self-recommendation before, he knew what the other party must be thinking.

This little guy is very smart, and he will definitely not make a loss-making business easily.

The boy raised his chin and said, "I want you to find a safe place to house my sister first, to ensure her safety, and then give me a commission after I complete the task. You can set the price, but it can't be too little."

This condition is not too much for them.

But for the two boys who are still struggling with danger and food and clothing, it is a bit of a lion to talk, not to mention that Gu Mu has done them a big favor in vain.

It seems a little too much to mention such a condition.

All the boys in white robes were worried and nervous.

Gu Mu thought for a while, and then said to the boy, "It's no problem to find a safe place to house your sister, but you should understand that we are not from here, so there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents."

Hearing this, the thin black boy bit his lip, hesitated for a while, and then nodded helplessly.

Gu Mu nodded secretly, it seems that the little guy knows how to advance and retreat.

"In terms of remuneration, as long as you can take us to the destination smoothly and bring us out safely, then I will give you [-] U.S. dollars as a reward."

Hearing this number, not only the black and thin boy widened his eyes with surprise.

Even the white-robed boy had a look of shock and disbelief.

Twenty thousand dollars!Converted into RMB is more than [-]!

For them who spend a few hundred dollars and spend a month, more than [-] can be said to be a sky-high price.

The black and thin boy shook his lips, but he didn't agree immediately, but said, "I don't know what you are going to do, to put it bluntly, accidents are unpredictable in the desert, plus what you have to do, if something happens What if I can’t bring you out?”

Seeing that his mind was spinning so fast, he immediately grasped this point.

Gu Mu was not angry, but admired him even more.

"You're right, so let's count it separately. As long as you can bring us to the destination, then count it as [-] US dollars, and take out another [-] US dollars. How about two stages of settlement?"

The black and thin boy seemed moved, but after thinking about it, he said cautiously, "I don't have a bank card..."

Compared with the fact that he raised too many opinions, I was afraid that the other party would really find it annoying.

Gu Mu frowned and said, "I will give you a check then."

If it is cash, the little guy is definitely not willing to ask for it. After all, it is too conspicuous, and it is estimated that he will not be able to keep it after taking it out.

For bank transfer, if the signal over there is not good, of course it can't be done.

And usually when they go to the tomb, in order to avoid some accidents, the mobile phones are all turned off.

So using a check is the most appropriate.

The boy's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of the check at that time, and nodded without any opinion this time.

"Okay, now that we've settled the deal, let's talk about the arrangement." He said, looking up at the white-robed boy, and said, "The first thing, about this matter, except for those on our side, no one can And then reveal it, even to the closest people.”

The black and thin boy understood what he meant, pursed his lips, turned to look at the white-robed boy, and said, "Go back first, your grandpa should be worried."

The white-robed boy frowned tightly, with obvious uneasiness and worry in his eyes.

He hesitated for a while before asking boldly, "Are you going to do something dangerous?"

The black and thin boy frowned immediately when he heard him ask the other party this question, and said to him coldly, "Don't be a mother-in-law, I won't spare you if you disturb my good affairs again, hurry up, it's an eyesore!"

The white-robed boy bit his lip and continued to look at Gu Mu.

Gu Mu couldn't give him a definite answer, so he could only remain silent.

The white-robed boy took the other party's silence as an acquiescence, and was even more worried.

But he intends to persuade his friend not to take risks, but he also understands that the other party is not something he can persuade, and in the end he can only turn around and leave with unwillingness and worry.

"It's rare to have such a little partner who cares about you. It's a blessing." After the people left, Gu Mu said to the boy with emotion.

The boy frowned, but his eyes were obviously relaxed because of his words, but he still pretended to be a little adult and said, "What else, let's talk about it."

Gu Mu laughed and asked him to sit down and have breakfast first, and then talk after eating.

After breakfast, Gu Mu told him the rules to follow and where he was going, and asked him to go back and make preparations, and set off at noon.

As for his sister, he arranged for another person to place her in this hotel as well.

The so-called least safe place is the safest place.

And let the white-robed boy live in with his grandfather, and the three of them pretended to be grandparents who were out on a trip.

The black and thin boy had no objection to this arrangement.

On Uncle Cheng's side, the people who got the news just came to see the child, and then left without making any comments.

After lunch at noon, a group of seven drove to Tuoling Mengpo under the guidance of the boy.

Tuoling Mengpo is a natural desert animal and botanical garden, also known as the entrance to the Gurbantunggut Desert.

It used to be an ancient battlefield, and many ancient copper coins, military order talismans, and many remnants of beacon towers have been found.

On the edge of the desert, there is a spectacular protective forest, like a green Great Wall stretching thousands of miles, for the protection of this place, it can also be regarded as a Garden of Eden in the desert.

Therefore, there are many tourists here throughout the year.

This will be because it is winter, and there are still white snow everywhere, which makes the scenery even more beautiful, and there is an endless stream of tourists coming and going.

However, because of the snow, the temperature in the desert is lower, so during this time period, tourists usually only watch from the outside, and rarely enter the center of the desert.

After coming here, it can be seen that the little guy is really familiar with this place.

According to his suggestion and guidance, everyone re-supplied, re-planned the route, and then set a time for departure.

The two off-road vehicles entered the desert just as the sun was rising in the morning.

Fortunately, the snow on the snow is not too thick, and off-road vehicles can handle it.
