haven't even touched a little girl's hand Is that right"I blushed and said, "It's none of your business."">A mole made me blush, and suddenly she burst into a fit of giggles.She winked at me and said,..."Yunfeng, I advise you, when you're out in the world, be amicable and things will go smoothly. It's better for everyone to make money together. To show my sincerity, I'll show you something good."

">

Azha looked around, seeing that no one was nearby. He opened his backpack and took out a black plastic bag from it.

Unveiling the plastic bag revealed its contents.

It is an irregularly shaped black stone.

In the firelight, the black stone seemed to glow with a faint red light from within, like veins running through it.

"This... This is... Alashan blood agate"

Azha instantly acted, encasing the stone and preventing anyone from seeing it.

He laughed and said, "As long as I can participate and get a share of the pie, you'll have a portion of the proceeds when this stone is sold. The price will be beyond your imagination. Right now, the entire underground black market in Yinchuan, including those big-nosed jewelry merchants, are all looking for this raw stone."

>

So

This is my sincerity.

">

This thing stunned me at first glance.

It looks a bit like blood jasper, but I know this stuff is far rarer than blood jasper.

I wonder how this piece of blood agate ended up in this kid's hands. Back in the day, a senior expert at an antique shop gave these kinds of extraordinary treasures a name: "jing-refined goods."

Like the Tianhuang stone, which has yellow fields, white fields, black fields, red fields, and within the bright yellow fields, there are eight yellows and one essence.

Loquat yellow, orange peel yellow, honey yellow, chicken oil yellow, osmanthus yellow, mature chestnut yellow, soap yellow, tung oil yellow, and the most refined among them is Tianhuang essence. It is the highest grade in Tianhuang. Legend has it that the Three-Seal Charm of Tianhuang, a priceless treasure in the Forbidden City, was made from Tianhuang essence.

Undoubtedly, the blood agate raw stone in Aza's hand is also of this level of fine goods.

Anyone who understands this, seeing this piece of blood coral would find it hard not to be moved.

I, too, couldn't help but become greedy.

"Azha, I'll be blunt. If you want me to believe you..." I pointed at the plastic bag. "That thing on the road, you have to let me keep it."

">

"No problem, I knew you'd say that. Let's make it clear beforehand: whatever you take, you keep. But ultimately, it still belongs to me, you just have a share."

I nodded and said yes, taking the backpack.

The next day, Xiao Xuan woke up and seeing me and Azi like this, rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Am I seeing this right.... you two...."

Now, Azha and I are as close as brothers.

Azar patted my shoulder and smiled, "Beauty, Yun Feng and I already became sworn brothers last night. Let's forget about the past. Now, the three of us are in this together, like a single thread binding three ants. Yun Feng promised to join your gang."

"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

I also nodded, hugging Aza and saying: "That's right, from now on we're good friends. We share both good fortune and hardships together."

">

We shared a knowing glance, both of us understanding something the other didn't need to say.

Everyone has their own secrets.

This ghost hasn't shown up yet because it's not the right time.

After finishing the dried rations, I took out the sheepskin map and studied it for a while. I had already determined the general direction we needed to go in.

Normal maps are useless in the desert, but this one Ky'ah gave me is different.

For example, the place we passed by before, there was a bottle tree drawn on the sheepskin map. A few miles west of the bottle tree, several poplar trees were also drawn on the map. The map was accurate, and last night we rested under the poplars.

From the map, heading west, there is an oasis. That oasis is most likely the Crescent Oasis that guide Lao Zhang mentioned.

After passing through the oasis, you reach the Papu circular sand dunes, which is the final destination.

If we still can't find the Huite people in Pabasha by then, we'll probably have to go home.

Aza was walking in the front, and Xiaoxuan and I were behind him.

"What's going on How did you agree to bring him That kid is not a good person," Xiao Xuan whispered as we walked side by side, complaining.

"Since Ah Za didn't hear us, I whispered, "Of course I know. I just lied to him."
