Chapter 6209 Friends of the Tribe

The big sandstorm failed to kill them, and it all depended on their experience of surviving in the desert. After surviving the sandstorm, Lin Rui and Yelena both lay under the sand dunes, exhausted. Half of Lin Rui’s body was still in the sand, he closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and went into a deep rest. Yelena leaned next to the camel.

The next morning, the two continued their journey with camels.

Walking alone on the bare sandstone plain, with a few clouds sparsely floating overhead.

The dry and furnace-like temperatures sapped the land of all life, and the bright light was mercilessly directed at them.

At dusk, sand gives way to gravel, and the sun hides below the horizon as the gravel gradually becomes coarser.

The cold came suddenly.

Lin Rui lost his sense of time and space, and only knew that he kept moving forward, leaving footprints one after another on the sand, the short-lived traces when humans came into contact with the desert. Fantastic unreal world.

In the afterglow of the dim sun, the crescent moon shyly showed a gentle fairy figure.

After walking for a while, Lin Rui screamed excitedly and said, “It’s here! It’s here!” He quickened his pace and walked forward with the camel. Remember the URL m.xbequery. com

Yelena followed him as far as she could see, and it was still the monotonous and boring horizon of the desert, which seemed to disappear in the twilight.

An hour later, they came to a dry river whose bed was blue-black slate.

Lin Rui walked southwest along the slate.

Two hours later, it was dark, and guided by the crescent moon, we reached the end of the slate.

Lin Rui shouted happily.

A green field appeared before me, grass and bushes crowded with all kinds of creatures.

Birds are circling in the air, and butterflies are flying in groups. It’s a small oasis.

In the heart of this oasis, there is a puddle, the water level is low, but enough to make the trekkers ecstatic.

They ignored the animal feces that were littered the edge of the puddle, jumped down, and gulped down the water. Grasshoppers jumped on them.

That night, they lay contentedly on a grass more than ten meters away from the puddle, looking up at the stars in the sky.

The universe is magnificent. Camels are grazing leisurely.

Yelena looked at Lin Rui and said, “What’s the next step?”

Lin Rui said: “Anyway, we have to leave first and leave the Sahara. To be honest, this time it was an accident within an accident. We should have joined Zhao Jianfei in Chile.

Who knew so many things happened along the way. ”

Yelena looked at Lin Rui and said, “This is a desert, how do we leave?”

Lin Rui sat up with a smile and said, “Tell you, you are in the midst of happiness and do not know happiness. I am familiar with the desert, follow me, and you don’t have to worry about anything. No matter where birds don’t shit, there will be people. Look at this oasis, See that animal **** over there?

It was left by camels and horses, and it was still fresh. This suffices to say that there must be Tuareg tribes nearby. ”

“Tuareg people, they are indeed a people living in the desert. But they are not good men and women. Usually they are not only called nomads but also called bandit people in the desert.” Yelena reminded.

Lin Rui smiled, “Even if they are bandits, the Tuareg people in this desert will never be my enemies. Because they are Abdullah Azam’s people. Do you remember? ? He owes me a big favor.”

“That Tuareg rebel leader?” Yelena couldn’t help shaking her head. “You actually believe that such a person will return your favor?”

“Of course he won’t, but this guy is very ambitious, hoping to unify all the Tuareg tribes and complete the independence of the country. How would you think such a person would treat a mercenary leader like me?” Lin Rui sighed. “I bet it’s a congenial odor.”

“That’s right, if they really want to do something, they have to ask us for help. It shouldn’t do anything to us.” Yelena nodded.

The Tuaregs are a nomadic people in the Sahara and still live a nomadic life, which keeps them in a state of isolation and little contact with the outside world. They still carry spears, knives and arrows, and shields of majestic status, and still distinguish nobles from commoners, as they have done in feudal times, as they have done for centuries. Their caravans still bring salt to the Sultan from Denis, Gar and Kawar, maintaining the original caravan. The role of such caravans in the entire Saharan economy is now small, but they still play a role.

They are presumed to be descendants of the Numidians, the ancient herders of North Africa. From around 200 BC, their status as “desert lords” began to decline, and in order to maintain their living habits, they lived a nomadic life.

In the desert, for the Tuareg people, farming is basically impossible, they can only graze, but the desert is also not a good pasture. Therefore, the economic life of the Tuareg is deficient, and it is impossible to survive entirely on grazing. In this case, the Tuaregs, on the one hand, collect a transit tax—actually a protection fee—from caravans traveling in and out of the Sahara Desert, and on the other hand, they simply rob the caravans of the past or the surrounding settled countries. Sometimes the Tuaregs themselves were involved in business, although their goods were generally looted.

The robbery of the Saharan caravans by the Tuaregs follows a principle of “sustainable development”, neither looting the caravans destructively nor looting every day. Looting, but sometimes you can avoid the risk, as long as you make a profit, sometimes you can rob a little when you get robbed, and the rest of the goods will not lose money if they sell well. So, even though the Tuareg people have been running rampant on the Saharan trade routes for a long time, they have basically not cut off these trade routes.

In addition to looting caravans, the Tuareg people in history also harassed and looted the surrounding countries. The Mali Empire in Western Sudan, the Songhai Empire and the Ghanem-Bornu Empire in Middle Sudan have long been affected by their harassment. threaten. Tuaregs will only stay safe during periods when the empire is very stable and the rulers are very powerful.

The Tuareg rebellion in Mali probably began in January 2011, the fifth Tuareg rebellion since 1960.

The Tuaregs are a semi-nomadic ethnic group living in Niger, Mali, Algeria and Libya. They are descendants of the North African Berbers, originating in the Fezan region of Libya, and later expanded to other Saharan regions and assimilated by the peoples of the southern Sahara. The Tuareg people have always regarded the Malians in the south as invaders who wanted to establish their own independent state.

Because after the fall of the Gaddafi regime in Libya in 2011, the Tuagre tribesmen who once fought with Gaddafi’s men returned to northern Mali and merged with the local religious extremist forces to fight against the Malian government.

Mali was originally relatively peaceful. The initial domestic conflict was that the northern minorities were making troubles because of poverty. The purpose was to get the government to give some money. Due to poverty, some idlers from the north went to Libya, east of Mali, to join Gaddafi’s armed forces and received good training. After the fall of Gaddafi, these people withdrew to northern Mali with weapons. They were well-armed and stronger than the government army. They were kings in the north.

The Tuareg rebellion brought the end of two decades of democracy in Mali. Dissatisfied with the government’s inability to handle the Tuareg rebellion, junior officers staged a coup. The resulting chaos led to the collapse of the Malian army in the north, and the integrated army, led by its commander, fell to the rebels.

The military junta in Bamako narrowly escaped a “second coup” by paratroopers loyal to the democratically elected government. A few days later, a group of young men stormed the presidential palace and beat the junta-supported president. Since then, Mali’s military junta and its president have decided to accept foreign military aid in an effort to eliminate the rebels. The Tuaregs formed the Azawad National Liberation Movement under the leadership of Abdullah Azam. long-term confrontation with government forces.

When he was in Mali before, Lin Rui had an intersection with the Tuareg people, and the relationship between the two sides was not bad.

Because Abdullah Azam was originally a mercenary, and although these desert nomads are cunning and brave, they also admire warriors the most. After working with Lin Rui several times, Abdullah Azam highly respected Lin Rui and other mercenaries.

And Lin Rui also maintains a good relationship with them. In some desert missions, he will even hire these blue knights galloping in the desert.

With Abdullah Azam’s influence, all the Tuareg tribes in this desert dare not fight against them.

Lin Rui suddenly changed his expression, pulled Yelena and said, “Someone is here.”

Yelena blurted out, “Are those attackers?”

Lin Rui listened and snorted: “No, I’m not sure if it’s those people, but there are also many, many people and camels.”

Yelena listened carefully, but there was indeed no sound.

Lin Rui has received special training and has the same ability as his teacher Quentin, who can detect the movements of people and animals in the distance.

Yelena said puzzled: “Are we going to escape? What if these people are the previous attackers?”

Lin Rui shook his head and said, “I can’t escape. They are surrounded from all directions. They must be organized caravans of Tuareg people. Only they can follow the footprints in the desert to find caravans to attack.”

At this time, there were bursts of noise from the south. Soon there were voices from all directions.

It’s the sound of a camel’s hoofs. Agitated in the distance of the oasis.

Lin Rui said: “Remember, I will answer everything. They don’t know me or you.”

Yelena nodded and said, “Do you understand Berber language?”

Lin Rui replied: “So many years, a little bit, enough to deal with a general answer.”

Yelena said: “That’s good. She called out with her face changing, “Not good! the camel. ”

Lin Rui was shocked and remembered that the camel belonged to the hijackers. If these Tuaregs had attacked the hijackers before, would they also be considered accomplices of the hijackers?

But it was too late to hide the camel.

They soon fell into a tight siege.

A wide variety of weapons, from state-of-the-art automatic rifles to primitive rifles, aimed at a man and a woman circled in the center.

Their camel was taken aside.

The oasis is full of warriors from Turea, at least two hundred people.

The people around were silent, their eyes were fierce and murderous.

A big man rode a particularly tall, mighty and ornately decorated camel, and stepped into the circle calmly, and the surrounding big men separated. The big man stopped in front of the two and looked down from a height.

This man was around forty years old, his body was full of energy and strength, his eyes were fierce, his face was much longer than ordinary people, and he was blue and white.

His waist and spine were straight and straight, as if they were made of cement and steel bars.

The big man’s eyes lit up with sternness, he looked at the two of them, and finally stopped on Lin Rui’s face, and said in broken English, “Who are you, with those hijackers?”

“Those are not important. The important thing is that I am a friend of the Tuareg people.” Lin Rui nodded.

“There are many Tuareg tribes in this desert. Maybe you are a friend of a certain tribe, but not mine.” The AK47 in Dahan’s hand pointed at Lin Rui.

“Just ask Abdullah Azam.” Lin Rui shrugged. “If you can contact him, then tell him I’m here.”

The big man’s expression changed, he slowly put down his weapon, stared at Lin Rui and said, “Who are you?”

“A businessman, I have had a lot of business dealings with you.” Lin Rui shrugged.

“So, what about her?” The big man pointed at Yelena and asked.

“My wife.” Lin Rui nodded, “We encountered a sandstorm and needed a place to rest and replenish food. You can also use this time to ask Abdullah Azam to verify our identity.”

The big man looked at them silently, finally put away his weapon, waved his hand suddenly, and said solemnly: “Take these two with you.” After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away on a camel.

The two left the oasis under the aegis of the Tourea. Step into the endless desert.

When I set out early every morning, the sand was always as cold as frost and snow, but two hours after the sun came out, the sand was immediately hot and hot, burning like a steaming oven to everyone who dared to trample on it.

A cold and a tendency to make people exhausted. From the second day onwards, the brigade stepped up one after another of endless, undulating sand dunes, and the speed began to slow down.

No matter from any direction ~www.readmtl.com~ is rising one after another dunes, it seems that the world has always been like this.

When camping on the third night, Lin Rui was summoned to the tent of the Tuareg people.

Yelena was not invited, maybe in the eyes of these people, this is just an indifferent woman.

The tent is sewn with a rectangular piece of gray and white cloth, with eight columns and four beams forming a supporting structure.

It is very spacious inside, enough to accommodate ten people.

The floor is thickly carpeted, making one forget the tiresome grains of sand beneath it.

A man in an Arabic robe sat cross-legged in the middle of the tent, and a man squatted in a corner of the tent, making tea for him.
