"You don't want it?" Elder Yiman looked at the piles of seizures and was actually very happy.

He felt that even if he got half of it, it would be enough to arm the capable warriors in the village.

In this case, if similar people come to "disturbing" the "tranquility" of the village in the future, at least the village will have the ability to protect itself.

But when he expressed his thoughts, Zhu Yu refused:

"These things belong to the village, we don't want them."

Elder Yiman, after all, has gone out to work and knows that these things, including this car, are worth a lot after all.

There are also so many weapons seized!

"We would be very grateful if the elder could send someone to take us to find the legendary treasure." Zhu Yu said with a smile:

"We are collaborators, and now we are also friends. It is our duty to help you fight off those intruders, and besides, you need these things the most now."

In fact, Zhu Yu really didn't care about what these armed men brought.

Disdainful.

Seeing Zhu Yu's sincerity, Elder Yiman stopped refusing and immediately ordered the people in the village to move all the things from the car, distribute some of them and save some.

"Ran Jie, you guys teach them how to use it..."

Seeing a villager holding a can between his teeth, Zhu Yu touched his head. He still needed to be taught this thing.

In the future, people in the village will definitely have to gradually come into contact with modern civilization, and they will have to learn all kinds of things.

However, he obviously found that these villagers accepted new weapons much faster than other matters!

Maybe it's the impact of an existential crisis.

In order to avoid possible subsequent enemies, Zhu Yu and the others stayed in the village for another five days.

In the past five days, the people in the village burned all the bodies of the armed men and scattered them.

Their car, including the wreckage, was pulled back to the village.

At this time, Zhu Yu and the others felt the power of the villagers - even car wrecks were used as much as possible by the villagers.

Made into weapons, tools, and even furniture.

As for the two cars that were still usable, Ran Jie and the others only taught them for less than an hour, and Edo and the others started running wildly on the Gobi Desert in their cars.

Anyway, there were no other cars and there was no traffic accident, so we just let them go.

During these five days, Ran Jie and the others conducted continuous training with the newly-received soldiers with guns and the "old" soldiers, including some brief tactics——

This reminded Zhu Yu of the war in his country. Because China wanted to evacuate its overseas Chinese, the war ceased for several days.

He even came across a new video, in which the retreating Chinese encountered resistance fighters because their car broke down.

The resistance soldiers not only helped them change the tires and repair the car, but also enthusiastically took photos with them.

It’s really powerful!

Although people on the Internet joke that they are afraid of recruiting teachers.

But in fact, if you were not powerful, would others come to you to learn something?

For breakfast on the sixth day, Zhu Yu and the others cooked porridge themselves.

I really can't get used to that kind of sticky stuff.

Millet porridge, pancakes, just a bite of pickles, it tastes really good!

After breakfast, Iman brought Edo over, and Zhu Yu thought it was time to come.

"Mr. Zhu, thank you for helping us so much."

"It should be." Zhu Yu said with a smile.

In fact, he was a little anxious. The junction of Gobi and desert was almost insulated from modern society, which was really difficult for Zhu Yu.

Fortunately, he also knew that such days would not last long.

"Mr. Zhu, five days have passed and no one will come here anymore. So I think I can send someone to take you to find the legendary treasure."

Zhu Yu showed a worried expression:

"Wouldn't it affect everyone's safety? Although they have been training for a few days, at present, they have not necessarily achieved combat effectiveness."

"It's okay, they are born warriors, and they will fight tooth and nail for their home!" Elder Yiman said as he walked, and walked toward the outside of the village with Zhu Yu.

"Actually, if you hadn't insisted, I wouldn't have approved of you searching for that treasure."

Elder Yiman's words were very sincere, and Zhu Yu had doubts.

"That place, according to legend, was once a place blessed by God.

A long time ago, there was a big river here. There were oases nearby. People lived a prosperous life and could find food everywhere. We could even grow the crops we like to eat just like the outside world.

In order to thank the gods for their gifts, people built magnificent temples and donated a large number of treasures. Countless people were proud to enter the temples to serve the gods.

At that time, this vast land had countless villages and many cities.

Later, I don’t know when, it became a place abandoned by gods.

There is no water in the river, all the fish are dead, and the crops are sunburned to death. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is less and less food.

The divine attendants in the temple thought that someone had offended the god, and began a large number of human sacrifices. Many people began to flee the place. Those who stayed either starved to death or were captured by the divine attendants of the temple.

Years passed, and finally, the temple was destroyed by the rebels, most of the divine attendants were killed, and most of the remaining people left here.

However, there is never a shortage of people who care about the treasures in the temple.

Later, groups of people entered the desert from the outside in search of treasures, but they all failed and no one went out.

It is said that a few decades ago, the largest group of people looking for treasures numbered thousands, driving dozens of vehicles into the desert. In the end, no one came out.

Everyone who knew the news slowly died. In recent years, fewer people have entered the desert.

Not only outsiders, but also in the entire area, not many people know that there are treasures deep in the desert.

By our generation, only the elders of three villages knew about it.

And those two elders were also killed some time ago."

A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!

"So actually I want to advise you not to go after that treasure. You can also find some shiny stones near our village - that is, the raw stones of gems."

Elder Yiman looked at Zhu Yu with sly eyes:

"Actually, I know the value of those things. But those things cannot be exchanged for anything in our hands. Only by trading with you can we exchange for useful things."

Zhu Yu nodded.

This thing just depends on your mood, as long as you think it's worth it.

"And we only dare to trade with you." Elder Yiman sighed:

"There used to be a village in the east. It was because some people exchanged stones for things with people from outside. Then those people brought many people and wiped out the entire village..."

People's hearts are evil, there's no way to talk about this kind of thing.

"We still want to see that treasure." Zhu Yu thought for a while and insisted.

"Alas, actually I also know that I can't persuade you." Elder Yiman shook his head:

“Everyone has a sense of luck and thinks why can’t he be the one who gets lucky?

Mr. Zhu, I will give you a map that can guide you to the mountain closest to the temple. But the rest is up to you to find.

Let me remind you that along the way, you will encounter sandstorms, quicksand and other things that may violate your common sense. If that is the case, I advise you to quit as soon as possible..."

Zhu Yu nodded.

"I won't send anyone out. The village is currently short of people. In fact, I'm not sure if anyone will come. The soldiers you train for us still need to practice hard..."

"It's okay, just have a map." Zhu Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, here you go." Elder Yiman took out a map drawn on some unknown leather from his robe and handed it to Zhu Yu, then pointed to a point on it and said:

"This is our village. This curved line is a dry river. You go up along this river... This is the mountain closest to the temple. The temple is located in this direction..."

Zhu Yu took the map and solemnly thanked Elder Yiman.

"You're welcome. As you said, we are collaborators and friends. In fact, I only chose to cooperate with you Chinese after asking about it.

It’s true that outsiders came here and chose to do this before, but in the end, they always wanted to silence the people in the village and reap the benefits..."

A look of sadness flashed across Elder Yiman's face, which reminded Zhu Yu of the movie "Red River Valley". He thought he was a friend, but he didn't expect it was a jackal!

Ran Jie and the others received Zhu Yu's instructions and began to prepare.

Buckets of water were loaded onto the off-road vehicle, and some gasoline and other supplies were also prepared. Edo silently put the water from the pickup truck onto the off-road vehicle, and also picked up a few packages of dried meat.

Looking at his eager and envious eyes, Zhu Yu knew that Edo wanted to go with them.

But without Elder Yiman's words, Edo could only stay in the village.

Moreover, his wife hugged his arm tightly and kept saying something, obviously not wanting him to go.

Zhu Yu thought to himself, is it really that scary there?

Saying goodbye to Elder Yiman and others, Zhu Yu and the others slowly started the car, drove out of the village, and turned into the dry river.

As long as it's not the rainy season here, it's basically sunny. Although it's only morning, the heat waves in the river are already coming in waves.

The river is very dry and relatively flat, and occasionally you can see the bones of fish and dead birds.

Probably because of the sandy river bottom, it did not break into pieces. Instead, it was as if someone had pushed it with a tool and it was very smooth.

The river is about two hundred meters wide, and the banks on both sides are five or six meters high. Zhu Yu can imagine that when there was water in the past, it was considered a big river.
