Chapter 025
"I don't know either. Maybe only the director can know what happened between them." Qiao Zhi grabbed his head and looked at the proud dragon bird.
"Parts, have you noticed that the dragon bird has been standing on its back since it encountered a lightning horse, and has not even flew away." Chen Huazhe pointed to the dragon bird on the horse's back and said curiously.
Qiao Zhi and Zhou Sihan nodded one after another, "You are right. Chen Huazhe, you are so awesome. You can always find problems."
Chen Huazhe was praised and blushed. He said with a smile: "Actually, I hope I can be braver and no longer so timid."
"Chen Huazhe, you are already very brave. Qiao Zhi and I admire you very much now. When we encounter danger, you bravely stand up and you are our little warrior." Qiao Zhi patted Chen Huazhe's shoulder, "Now, you are a hero in my heart!"
This is the first time Chen Huazhe was called a little warrior and a little hero by his companion. He lowered his head and smiled happily.
Before a few people finished speaking, they were raised high by the merchants. They happily sang exotic songs. The melody was full of joy, and everyone danced happily around them.
Qiao Zhi and his friends watched everyone sing and dancing, and they also learned in a good manner. For a moment, the entire Eskshael Castle was filled with everyone's cheerful laughter.
During the break of the dance, Qiao Zhi came to Sariman and asked softly: "Uncle Sariman, I especially want to know why you knew that Ma Yao would turn into a stone but didn't remind us?"
Sariman smiled apologetically and said to Qiao Zhi: "Child, my compass has always pointed in your direction. Although it always fails, it will always point in your direction, so I think you are the one sent by God to rescue us."
Sariman died of a pouch, handed it to Qiao Zhi and continued, "Before, I kept digging where the compass pointed, but I didn't find any treasure. Finally, I realized that it was giving me guidance to those who could save everyone."
"Uncle Sariman, why did you remind us that late at night but leave secretly?" Zhou Sihan also remembered the doubts at that time, so he asked while eating naan bread full of scallion.
Sariman replied with a giggle and laughter: "Dear child, I really didn't think about leaving at night, but I didn't expect that after I dug out the compass under my bed, lightning suddenly appeared. It ran and rushed out of the camp by it. I had no time to say hello to you, so I came to the castle."
Speaking of this, Sariman sighed, his eyes flashed a little bit of blame.
"At that time, when the pottery lantern monster came to our camp, I should have been alert, but like everyone, I was attracted by its treasure map and did not take into account the leader's reminder, which led to everyone being plotted by the pottery lantern monster and turning into a stone. Later, if it weren't for the lightning that led me to escape quickly, I would have turned into a stone like everyone."
Sariman looked at the human-faced pottery lamp fiercely, wishing to stomp it.
Then, Sariman retracted his gaze and changed his face to his previous affableness. "Lightning threw me on the sand hill, and I fell into the sand pit because I lost my way, and then I met you, my adorable children."
The human-faced pottery lamp was scared at this moment. It hugged behind Qiao Zhi and said tremblingly: "I'm wrong, I'm afraid."
Seeing the nervous look of the man-faced Tao Deng, Sariman snorted coldly, "Although you lied to us, I will not take revenge on you. I hope you will not harm others like this in the future."
The human-faced Tao Deng's face turned red with shame, just like the sunset in the Gobi Desert.
All the questions were answered, and the curious Qiao Zhi finally smiled with satisfaction.
The crowd came with the dragon bird and the chirping and lightning snarlings. Qiao Zhi walked to them and stroked its smooth feathers. "Long Bird, your performance this time is amazing. I want to praise you on behalf of everyone!"
The dragon bird roared, raised its neck high, and flapped its big wings, with no mention of how proud it was.
Lightning kept stomping his feet, and thick air spurted out from his nostrils. After the dragon bird made a chirping, it also made a loud scream.
The team leader came up and said to Qiao Zhi and everyone: "It's getting late, and the people in the camp must have started to think about us. Children, let's leave together."
After the leader said that, all the merchants stood up, and they rode the camels with well-trained training, and under the leadership of the leader, they prepared to set out for the camp.
Qiao Zhi blinked and asked Sariman: "Uncle Sariman, aren't the people in the team going with us? Our dragon bird is so amazing!"
Chen Huazhe also said: "Yes, those big wings can become super invincible, and the warm back is wide!"
Sariman shook his head and explained to Qiao Zhi: "In the caravan, camels are also valuable property. They can carry goods and take us to hide from wind and sand. The entire trade route is helping us, and we cannot abandon them."
Qiao Zhi nodded thoughtfully. Zhou Sihan beside him seemed to have thought of something and said to Qiao Zhi: "Qiao Zhi of the Desert Boat", we once learned a text called "Desert Boat"!"
Qiao Zhi recalled it for a moment and also remembered, "Yes, yes, what we have learned! Camels are the Desert Boat!"
The dragon bird suddenly became bigger, Qiao Zhi and his friends climbed onto its back with a familiarity. The lightning suddenly became active. It seemed to be excited and anxious. The dragon bird shook its wings and soared into the sky. The lightning also kicked and ran!
Chen Huazhe pointed to the string of flying smoke rising from the Gobi Desert and said loudly: "Look, the speed of lightning is really like its name!"
Unexpectedly, the flying dragon bird suddenly became nervous after hearing this sentence. Its muscles were tense and it kept tumbling in the clouds. Qiao Zhi only felt the clouds flying past in front of him. Without even blinking, he arrived at the camping place outside the Devil City.
"My God, look, the dragon birds are flying too fast! I can't even dare to breathe." Before Chen Huazhe finished speaking, he saw lightning coming out of the tent.
"Lightning?" Qiao Zhi exclaimed, "Why are you so fast? It's faster than the dragon bird?"
Lightning shook his head smugly, and the dragon bird next to him fell on its back with resentment, all in his eyes.
"Friends! Where are you going?" Everyone's attention was attracted by the crying roar. After blinking, he saw that it was Ma Yao who had turned into a stone statue before. He ran over with tears on his face and hugged Qiao Zhi tightly, "I thought I would never see you again! I was too scared!"
Qiao Zhi was almost unable to breathe when he was strangled by his strong arms. Zhou Sihan smiled and said to Ma Yao, "Do you know who helped a lot this time?"
Ma Yao replied without thinking: "Of course it's Qiao Zhi, he is so smart!"
Zhou Sihan shook his head, "You are half right."
"Who could it be? Could it be Uncle Sariman? Or, you are the squad leader?" Ma Yao let go of Qiao Zhi and began to take serious action.
"What you said is wrong," Zhou Sihan looked at Chen Huazhe, then looked at Ma Yao, "This time, it was Chen Huazhe who stood up at a critical moment to save us. It is also a blessing for him to become a new person."
Ma Yao widened his eyes in disbelief, "Chen Huazhe? I don't believe it!" After saying that, he looked at his good friend Qiao Zhi with a sceptical attitude.
Qiao Zhi nodded seriously, "The squad leader is right, it is Chen Huazhe who saved us. He was very brave at that time!" As he said that, he told Ma Yaoting what happened in the Eskshare Castle.
Ma Yao was surprised after hearing this, and finally looked at Chen Huazhe in disbelief and said admiringly:
"Chen Huazhe, you are so brave. I want to apologize to you. I apologize to you for the words I said before. From now on, you will be a little warrior. I will never go against you because of your bravery or not!"
Chen Huazhe's eyes gradually became wet. He looked at the friends around him, wiped his tears, and smiled happily.
Outside the camp, camel bells rang, distant and melodious, with the smell of the desert. A pair of merchants were walking towards the camp, forming a team neatly and orderly. The camels walked with their long legs, leaving footprints that disappeared quickly in the desert, and walked slowly.
"Ah! Look, it's Uncle Sariman and the team leader!" Chen Huazhe shouted excitedly.
The shouts alarmed everyone. They looked forward to the direction of the caravan. Some cried with joy, while others were filled with emotion.
They looked at the return partners and hugged each other, and were so happy.
Qiao Zhi walked up and asked the team leader: "Uncle Team Leader, have you ever seen a businessman named Su Cheng?"
The team leader immediately replied: "I have seen Su Cheng is a silk merchant. After his caravan joined us, he provided supplies and headed towards the Pamirs."
"Pangling?" Qiao Zhi blinked. What's that place?
Before Qiao Zhi could think clearly, a familiar door appeared in front of him. Zhou Sihan pointed to the door and said, "Qiao Zhi, look, this is the director's door! We came out of this door!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the door creaked and opened!
The voice of the director came from inside, "Congratulations on completing the task successfully, come back soon!"
Ma Yao was the first to rush forward and slammed the door, but he actually rushed in by himself. Instead, he said to Chen Huazhe: "Little Warrior, please ask first!" Chen Huazhe had never seen Ma Yao like this before, and was pushed into the door with a look of surprise.
When the human face Tao Deng heard the director's voice, he turned his head and ran away, "No, no! Run, run quickly!" In a panic, even the big blue package was thrown on the ground.
Lightning and Dragon Bird were the last ones to walk into the gate. They each held their proud heads and walked into the museum but ignored each other.
The director of the One-legged Fairy twisted his beard and narrowed his round eyes, "What? Haven't made up yet?"
Qiao Zhi quickly asked, "Director of the One-legged Immortal, what happened to them?"
