When they arrived at the border town, a section chief named Zhao from ZF came to receive them, and they were arranged to enter the guesthouse.
Hao Aiguo and his team began to find supplies to the desert, but they actually had no preparations, mainly water and food, and of course camels were necessary.
There is a saying in the local area that it is enough to bring three things to the desert: "Water, camel and Anliman."
An Liman means "living map in the desert" in the local language, so they guided Section Chief Zhao to the police station.
Hermione, who was blonde and blue-eyed, would attract attention when she walked there. She was used to it. She chose to wear large sunglasses to demonstrate her impatientness in her eyes.
Director Wang was not surprised to see Hermione. They were the small town closest to the desert, and foreigners often came here.
However, most of the people who go to the desert to hunt for treasure are rough men, but this time there are two delicate little girls, which is very unusual.
Professor Chen took out his work permit and asked the police station director to take a look, explaining his purpose.
The director carefully checked his work permit, shook his head and said, "It's useless to go to anyone you want to go to in the desert this season."
Hu Bayi: "How do you say this?"
The director explained: "It's the wind season now, and it's very dangerous to enter the desert now. You guys are all experts from BJ, and we have to be responsible."
As a person from a desert border town that lives for many years, Director Wang understands the dangers of the desert. He does not want these great gods to enter the desert at this time. If something happens, he will be jointly and severally responsible.
Professor Chen smiled and said with apologizing: "Director Wang, you have read the letter of introduction. We are a key scientific research project supported by the state. This project is quite special. Special circumstances should be treated with special conditions, right?"
Director Wang: "I know this, but I have to explain this interest to you. As for what to do, you will have the control of it yourself."
This is very official, just because they are afraid of taking responsibility. After all, they have no right to stop these experts, and they have to cooperate fully. If they explain the interests, they will not have their responsibility.
Hu Ba nodded and said, "That's right. We heard that there is a local celebrity named An Liman. Do you know?"
"I know, An Liman is a celebrity here. He came to us when he was young. Once, he encountered a sandstorm in the desert. It was the camel who saved his life. From then on, camels were his life and he kept camels until now."
Speaking of this, Director Wang shook his head and said, "But in this season, it's useless for you to find him."
"Then he is in that department now, where can we find him?" Shirley Yang said urgently
It is the wind season now, and she must enter the desert during the wind season, so she is eager to find An Liman. If she finds someone for ten days and half a month, she can only wait until next year.
Director Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Don't look for him, he is locked up here, everyone comes with me..."
Then he got up and walked out of the office with everyone.
"Isn't it going to carry out reform and opening up now? An Liman is very smart, and the police brought a group of foreigners to serve as tour guides for them."
Director Wang said as he walked: "A while ago, he took a group of foreigners into the desert, but within a few days he came back with the camels. Then we have to take care of it. These foreigners came in through legal channels and must have disappeared without any clarity."
"As a result, this old man was confused. We had no choice but to buckle the camel here with the person and he had to feed him a camel, hey!"
An Liman has experience, but it is just a big fool, timid and selfish. When he encounters danger in the desert, he will be alone without hesitation. This is the impression Zhou Hao left when watching TV series
Professor Chen may be a nerd, and Shirley Yang does not understand the worldly styles in China, but Fatty is practicing stalls in Beijing. He has never seen anyone, so he first questioned An Liman.
"Why does it sound so mysterious? Is this old man reliable? Director Wang?" the fat man said.
Director Wang smacked his lips and said, "I guess it's because the price has not been negotiated and left the person in the desert. But in this season, if he says he doesn't dare to enter, then no one dares to enter. Moreover, the camels are really well raised, but their character is not good. Haha, it's all for the country to contribute. If you think it's OK, let him cooperate actively. If you think it's not OK, let's find a way."
Several people said that, and came to a detention room, and the door was not locked. It seemed that they were not afraid of him running away.
Yes, camel is his lifeblood. As long as you hold the camel, An Liman can't go anywhere.
Everyone entered the door and saw an old man with big beard sitting there, his eyes closed, as if he was praying for something.
"An Liman, don't think about it when you come. I don't know what god you believe in!" Director Wang scolded him when he came in.
Just like what Director Wang said, An Liman's belief was just a lip service, and it was not really pious at all. He only believed in Camel and himself.
But An Liman still closed his eyes and muttered in his mouth, without any intention of paying attention to it.
The director said anxiously: "Don't be nagging, this is an expert from BJ, you can't neglect it."
An Liman still pretended not to hear it. Zhou Hao snatched Hu Bayi's words and said, "Hey! When I came in just now, those camels were silly. Director Wang, do you still sell camels here?"
"What?" An Liman immediately opened his eyes and asked, "Torbaba! How did you guarantee me? Didn't you say that you should take good care of my camel?"
His accent is a bit weird. In fact, he is not an XJ person at all. He also pretends to behave, and it will be true after pretending for most of his life.
The director glanced at Zhou Hao speechlessly and explained to An Liman. In the end, he let him see his camel with his own eyes and then became honest.
"As long as you cooperate with the experts of BJ, your camel will be returned to you," Director Wang persuaded him.
An Liman said helplessly: "I really don't know anything. I don't know that they are from BJ. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to take them into the desert if I beat them to death!"
He misunderstood and thought that those foreigners were from BJs and these people were here to make trouble.
"Besides, it's not that I don't care about them, it's that they don't want me anymore!"
Fatty Wang smiled and said, "Okay! Let's talk about it, it's not the same thing."
At this time, Professor Chen also understood and stepped forward and explained: "Old brother, we are not here to ask you about foreigners. We are archaeological. We are here to let you take us into the desert and hire you as our guide."
An Liman was stunned and said, "Entering the desert?" He glanced at Director Wang and received a positive answer.
At this time, Shirley Yang said sincerely: "As long as you are willing to promise us how much money you can."
OK, after Shirley Yang said this, An Liman felt a clear idea. This group of people came to ask him for help. Of course he wanted to make money, but now he has no confidence in his heart when he goes into the desert.
