Chapter 2158: Chapter 2158: Renting a Camel
Qin Yu and Su Ziyan arrived at the airport with nobody to meet them, the two leisurely walked out and hailed a fast car, heading towards a small town near the desert.
There were three small towns near the desert, and Ziyan led Qin Yu to Tamu Town.
Because it was so close to the desert and frequently assaulted by sandstorms, the ground and rooftops in Tamu Town were covered with yellow sand.
After getting out of the car, Qin Yu and Su Ziyan took steps, deep and shallow, towards the Camel Trading Company.
Even for Qin Yu and Su Ziyan, certain preparations were required before entering the desert; camels were a necessity. Fortunately, Flower Valley had a branch called Flower Valley Camel Trading Company in the market.
Only camels from the Flower Valley Camel Trading Company could reliably find the entrance to Flower Valley.
What Qin Yu and Su Ziyan didn’t expect was that when they arrived at the Flower Valley Camel Company, they found the doors of the shop securely locked.
"Strange, why is there nobody at Flower Valley Camel Company?" Su Ziyan furrowed her brow.
"At this hour, they might have gone to eat. How about we find a tavern to eat as well? After the meal, we can come back?" Qin Yu said uncertainly.
"That’s the only option; camels from other companies can’t find the entrance to Flower Valley."
Deep and shallow, Qin Yu and Su Ziyan started walking back, and along the way, many stallholders and company employees greeted them.
"You two are here to rent camels, right? Our Black Feather Camel Company has the strongest, most experienced camels! They have numerous experiences traveling in and out of the desert!
They are the first choice for desert travelers!"
"Psh, who doesn’t know your Black Feather Camel Company’s camels abandon the tourists and run off by themselves as soon as they encounter a sandstorm? Our Danling Camel Company has the camels you must have!
Our Danling Camel Company’s camels never abandon the tourists!"
"Hahaha, it’s true your Danling Camel Company’s camels don’t abandon tourists—instead, they just lie down on the ground during sandstorms, waiting to be engulfed by the storm!"
...
Qin Yu and Su Ziyan politely declined everyone’s offers.
"We’re just looking around for now; our friend hasn’t arrived yet. Once our friend is here, we’ll come back to pick a camel!"
Hearing what Qin Yu said, the crowd shrugged and stopped recommending their own camels.
The two quickly left the Camel Trading Market and headed for a small tavern.
The enthusiastic innkeeper came to greet them: "Dear guests, our tavern has excellent beef and mutton, as well as superb mare’s milk liquor."
Qin Yu said with a smile, "Let’s have ten jins of beef and ten jins of mutton, slice two jins of each onto plates, and pack the remaining sixteen jins. As for the liquor, one pot will do!"
"Right away!" This was a big spender! The innkeeper scurried off to the kitchen and started chopping meat with a bang.
Despite the harsh climate near the desert, the tavern’s beef and mutton were really quite good! Qin Yu and Su Ziyan ate with relish.
While Qin Yu and Su Ziyan were dining, Xu Kun and Bai Yi, leading their adventure team, were on their way to Tamu Town, driving four vehicles—two Humvees and two Jeeps.
While picking people up, Bai Yi informed his brothers on his side to let him know the moment they found Qin Yu and Su Ziyan.
Bai Yi’s brothers exerted their efforts, conducting a broad search near North Border airport, but unfortunately, after searching for a long time, there was no clue to be found.
Qin Yu and Su Ziyan had already reached Tamu Town; finding any clues would have been miraculous.
Not finding Qin Yu, Bai Yi felt somewhat disheartened. But since this trip was still very profitable, Bai Yi managed to suppress the gloom in his heart.
