Chapter 210
undred and fifty-three yuan left. I secretly kept this money."Not only did I collect copper coins, but I also went to neighboring villages to collect porcelain and silver ingots."Villagers only think..."I'm afraid you wouldn't dare show your face in Yinchuan..."
"Young people, I give you five minutes to consider."

At this time, the bean sprouts were tossing stones up and down, and Xiao Xuan and I remained silent.
Only Aza was left standing across, completely isolated.
"Hmph," Aza suddenly laughed, then turned and walked away.
Several of us watched him leave.
As she was about to disappear from our sight, Aza suddenly stopped and turned around.
He stared at me impassively, his right hand raised, making a slashing motion across his throat.
The bean sprout boy angrily yelled, rolled up his sleeves and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by someone.
After Azha, who had ruined the mood by chasing away the head, left, we finally had time to talk about our experiences over the past few days.
I secretly let the head take a peek at the blood agate rough stone in my bag. Even the well-traveled head was astonished, only sighing in admiration for the wonders of nature. Such a natural treasure wasn't just something found in legends.
So far, only I, Tou, Xiao Xuan and I know about the blood agate hidden in my bag. I didn't tell Dou Ya because that kid has a wild personality and is too talkative. As for Qin Xing and Guide Lao Zhang, we haven't gotten that close yet.
After chatting, I learned that they haven't been having an easy time these past few days. If it weren't for Lao Zhang following the dry riverbed and finding a little water source, the camel caravan probably wouldn't have made it this far. But despite all the effort, as long as we get through the Alashan Ring-shaped Dunes, we'll be in the territory where the Khut people often appear. It's all worth it.
The Alashan ring-shaped sand dune area is a magical place. Most of the region doesn't have sand, but there are more than ten ring-shaped mounds of sand. The guide said that the ring-shaped dunes move and grow automatically. If someone lives near the ring-shaped dunes, it's possible that a few days later, these mounds of sand will run away by themselves, like they have long legs, to somewhere else.
In the early years, some people called the ringed dunes "Heavenly Sand," meaning "sand that fell from the sky."
Actually, the sand dunes moving on their own are just caused by strong winds blowing through them. There's nothing particularly mysterious about it, you know
I spent the night near the dunes. After several days of hardship, I finally had a good meal and a warm sleeping bag. This was the first night since entering Alashan that I slept so soundly. I didn't even know what I was dreaming about until the sun came up.
"Good morning, Zhang Shu," I yawned. "Are we almost there" I saw Old Zhang unfastening the camel's reins.
"Yeah," Lao Zhang pointed to the distance and said, "It's very close. See that place over there That's where the Huite people often appear. Last time I brought Xiao Gan, the reporter, here, we also encountered them there."
I stretched and said, "Are the Hu people easy to get along with, Zhang Shu Don't be like the Ke'ya people, so fierce."
"
"Haha," Lao Zhang said with a smile, "Don't worry, the Hute people are much gentler than the Kya people. I've met them several times and they treat me as a friend. There are some young people in their tribe who have received an education and speak Putonghua. Then it will be much more convenient for you to interview."

We were talking, and Qin Xiping came over.
He said, "Yeah, that young man I met at the market last time was very nice, always smiling. I hope we can find them, or else... our trip would have been for nothing."

"Of course, Qin Ge, be more confident."

Qin Xingping looked into the distance and said, “I hope so.”

The camel caravan had been having a rough time recently. They'd encountered sandstorms and thieves in the past few days. Maybe things were about to turn around As we were talking, I suddenly spotted two small black dots in the distance.
We had a telescope in our gear, so I hurried over to get it and look through it.
It took several tries to focus, and from afar, I could see two young boys, perhaps twelve or thirteen years old. They both had short hair and were wearing long trousers and vests, using whips to herd the sheep.
I'll hand the telescope to Lao Zhang right away.
Lao Zhang only looked for two minutes and put it down, saying: "Great! Those two herding children are from the Hutu people. Did you notice their clothes Men in the Hutu tribe, no matter their age, all have that hairstyle, a small flat head!"
"Come on, let's hurry and pack up and go!"

" Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! were bound. She was leaning against the stone wall and had already woken up, staring angrily at Chen Jian Sheng."Don't be like that, Chen Houqin, your eyes look like you're about to eat someone," sai...
