Chapter 170: Into the Desert
After getting the roadmap of Jiao Yaohou and Hu Songquan and his gang, Zhuo Feng asked everyone not to worry about it first, and to solve the problem of food and clothing first. After eating, Zhuo Feng asked everyone to rest in the hotel first, and then went out with Chen Xiaoyan.
About an hour later, Zhuo Feng's phone called.
"Liu Sheng, drive the car to the parking lot of Zhongbai Warehouse Supermarket at the intersection in front of the hotel where you are now, and move things. ”
"Fengzi, what are you doing when you go out with Chen Da Beauty?"
"Come here and you'll know. Hurry up, we're done, and we're off to go. ”
At the door of Zhongbai warehouse supermarket, soon, Liu Sheng and they drove the Audi Q8 over.
As soon as he got out of the car, Zhuo Feng threw a car key at Liu Sheng.
"Everybody's here to help get all this stuff to these two trucks. Zhuo Feng pointed to the Q8 and another car in front of him.
"Good girl, Fengzi, when you go out for a meeting, you will get another car? Or is it a brand-new BMW X5? Chen Da Meinu said, isn't one car enough?" Liu Sheng asked.
"This car is for you, why bother. Quickly move all of this stuff to the trunk of your car. Zhuo Feng said, ignoring Liu Sheng's words, and carried pieces of drinking water, boxes of instant noodles, boxes of instant rice, and hot pot rice into the car.
"Sent me, Fengzi, you are arrogant. Thanks, bro. But what are you buying all this fast food for? Are we going on an expedition too? And what are these things?" asked Liu Sheng, pointing to the bundles of items.
"Tents, ropes, spare gasoline, vehicle cooling water, food, sunscreen, drinking water, sleeping bags, common items, etc., I haven't actually driven to the Northwest Desert, these things are all called Brother Haizi, and then bought them one by one. ”
Zhuo Feng said while carrying the items.
"Wow, Brother Sheng, Xiaofeng actually sent you a car? Great, great, now we can travel by car." ”
Hu Xinyi excitedly stepped forward to kiss Liu Sheng and waved to thank Zhuo Feng.
"You're not afraid of tanning your fair skin?" Liu Sheng said.
"Isn't there still you? I'm afraid of something. ”
"Let's talk about it first, but don't you retreat then?"
"Hehe, Brother Xiaofeng told me to get into your car and join you in the team. After Hanwa loaded all the belongings into the car, she climbed into Liu Sheng's car and said.
Liu Sheng and Hu Xinyi in the passenger seat looked at each other, pouted, and then laughed.
"I said, "Why is this kind of person giving me a car, it turns out that there is a purpose." Liu Sheng didn't forget to joke about Zhuo Feng.
One after the other, the two cars drove out of Nanhe City, and three hours later, the vegetation slowly receded, the green became less, and clumps of sand willows appeared on both sides of the road, and the desert appeared in everyone's sight.
"Liu Sheng, drive cautiously, don't be too fast. If the new car has a run-in period, pay attention to safety. ”
Zhuo Feng called.
"Fengzi, I know, I'm an old driver. ”
Chen Xiaoyan on the other end of the phone smiled.
"Are you driving or is Chen Damei driving?" asked Liu Sheng again.
"It's Xiaoyan driving now, my driver's license has only been available for less than two months, and I can't get on the highway, so I'll look for a feeling when I get down to a sparsely populated place. Zhuo Feng said.
"You two are fine, in the same car, you can talk small and cultivate feelings, but we can't. ”
Liu Sheng quipped on the other end of the phone.
Chen Xiaoyan blushed and shouted, "The two of you have not been together for a long time, don't you have enough small words?"
"Yo yo yo, Chen Da Mei is angry. I guess it's definitely blushing. Hahaha. ”
At the same time, Liu Sheng and Hu Xinyi's laughter were transferred over there.
"Okay, okay, Liu Sheng, you still have to pay attention to safe driving. It's about four o'clock in the afternoon, and we're on the desert border, and when the sun goes down, we're looking for a place to stay. Zhuo Feng said.
"Well, okay. ”
When the sun sets in the west, the sand dunes are obliquely illuminated with golden gold and yellow, and outline the lines of the desert, the contrast between the two sides of the light and dark sand dunes is strong, beautiful like an oil painting, and many wrinkles of sand and stones are like solidified waves, constantly extending to the golden horizon in the distance.
It may be that everyone has never seen such a beautiful scenery in person, so everyone got out of the car to watch it.
Chen Xiaoyan and Hu Xinyi even took off their shoes and socks, walked into the desert barefoot, the breeze blew the corners of their clothes, a few lines of footprints, and elongated figures, set off in the desert, and even beauties from the sky, stunned everyone.
When the sun was buried in the sand dunes and the stars were shining in the sky, everyone got into the car again and continued to drive to find a place to stay.
Came to a hotel next to the highway and rented two standard rooms, everyone was very excited to enter the desert for the first time, and discussed with the innkeeper, and after the owner's consent, the five people and the hotel set up a bonfire and had an open-air barbecue.
After tossing for most of the time, everyone was tired, lying in the sand in twos and threes, looking up at the sky, very comfortable.
"What a beautiful night sky, such beautiful stars. Chen Xiaoyan said.
"I'm very happy to see you today, is it the first time you've come to the desert?" Zhuo Feng asked, lying next to Chen Xiaoyan.
"Before I returned to China, I thought about driving to the desert to see, play, at that time there was no one to accompany me, and I didn't dare to be alone, and after returning to China, the work was relatively heavy, so I never had the opportunity. Just in time for this time. Thank you, Peak. Chen Xiaoyan looked at the dazzling stars in the sky, as well as the occasional flashing meteors, very satisfied.
"If it weren't for the roadmap given by Curator Xie, we could have entered this desert land, but it didn't go that smoothly. They have been in the desert for two days in advance, and we will definitely not be able to catch up, only to see luck. Later, everyone went to the room and discussed together what to do next, and naturalized tomorrow's journey. ”
"Feng, you've changed. Chen Xiaoyan listened to Zhuo Feng's analysis and smiled slightly.
"How have I changed?" Zhuo Feng asked, turning his head.
"In the past, you blushed and couldn't speak when you saw a girl, but now you are not alarmed, you are steady, you can prepare everything in advance, and you have become more mature and stable. ”
"Really? Isn't it becoming likeable?"
"Whoever loves to like you, who likes to go. Chen Xiaoyan turned her head to the side and snickered.
Zhuo Feng looked aggrieved as if he was struck.
"Fengzi, no one likes you, I can accept it. Hahaha. Such a handsome guy is liked by many little girls. Liu Sheng hugged Hu Xinyi and joked with Zhuo Fengdao.
"If you talk a lot, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. Zhuo Feng kicked Liu Sheng's calf with his foot.
Liu Sheng hurriedly jumped up from the sand: "Look, look, I'm in a hurry." Ha ha. ”
Zhuo Feng got up from the sand and patted the sand on his body: "Later, we will go to the room to discuss the naturalization of tomorrow and the next trip, even if we experience a desert self-driving tour today, we will not have this leisure tomorrow." ”
"Ahh Hu Xinyi was a little unhappy, and the interest had just started.
"Xinyi, this time out, we mainly have tasks and things, and we have a lot of time to play in the future. When this matter is over perfectly, I don't need them to accompany you, I will have a good time with you, as long as you are not afraid of tanning your skin, hehe. Chen Xiaoyan comforted.
"You, the eldest lady, are not afraid of tanning, what am I afraid of, this girl will accompany you to the end. ”
Hu Xinyi smiled suddenly, twisted Liu Sheng's arm hatefully, Liu Sheng screamed like a pig in pain, and the innkeeper and guests who were moving loudly ran out to see.
Everyone packed up and went back to their rooms.
Zhuo Feng took out the road map given by Director Xie Antao, pointed to it and said: "We are here now, and we have to travel for half a day, and then turn in from this small fork in the road, and then we really embark on the road of exploration of the archaeological team, and there is the beginning of the test for us." Walking along this path, unexpected and unknown things are immeasurable, be sure to check the vehicle before departure, check the accompanying items, especially gasoline, spare tires, these are handed over to Liu Sheng to be responsible, Hanwa is responsible for all our people's belongings.
"They are obviously under the banner of archaeology, but the purpose is not clear, they may have already entered the exploration site, we don't have to compete with them for anything, we don't have a guide, as long as we find out who they are, we can slowly clean them up when we go back, and find them to return to the dragon vine. Here I can explain to you a little bit, this dragon vine is my enlightenment, and at the critical moment, it is mainly to listen to my instructions. ”
"Fengzi, you are getting more and more sophisticated, you have become more cunning, and you actually have a hand. ”
Liu Sheng, who prides himself on being much smarter than Zhuo Feng, now praises Zhuo Feng from time to time, eating more chicken and more pig butt meat, and his brain reaction ability has improved a lot.
Early in the morning of the first day, Liu Sheng checked the vehicle, loaded all the belongings into the car, filled the fuel tank, filled it with water, and set off on the road again.
Passing through the desert and the Gobi alternating highway, two vehicles are driving one after the other, and it is not suitable for a vehicle to come from the opposite side, and this national highway between provinces is very lively.
As the sun rises, the road surface is hot, making people unusually dry, and everyone is busy drinking water to replenish water.
Coming to the forked road point marked on the road map, everyone braved the sun, ate some quick food under the canopy, drank some water, checked the vehicle, and followed the trail to follow the footprints of the archaeological team.
There were significantly fewer cars driving on this road, and after just about 20 minutes of driving, the Audi Q8 in front of it stopped.
"What's wrong? Liu Sheng. Zhuo Feng called.
"It's nothing, there's a young man in front of me waving for a ride, do you want to take a ride?" Liu Sheng said.
"I'll come down and take a look. ”
Zhuo Feng jumped down from the passenger cab, walked to the front, and really saw a young man with a large bag on his back, wearing a covering hat, wearing sunglasses, wrapping his face with a scarf, jeans on his body, cowboy boots on his feet, and a foldable pathfinder stick, looking at himself.
"Hello, hello, I'm going to the market in front, can I get a ride?" the man asked, taking off his sunglasses and putting down his bag.
"Is there a market ahead, are you familiar with this piece?" asked Zhuo Feng.
"Passing through the sea in front of us, and driving a hundred miles west, there is a market. Traders who used to walk this route usually took a break and traded there for a short time. The man said again.
"We are not familiar with this area, we are from the driving tour, we have just come down from the main road, we don't know what is ahead, since you are familiar with this area, you come to the back, get on a car behind and go with us. ”
"Thank you. ”
The man screwed his bags, got into the car behind Zhuo Feng and them, and stretched out his hand towards Zhuo Feng: "Hello, my name is He Changjun, thank you very much for carrying me." I am a merchant who goes into the desert bazaar to resell trinkets, small things. ”
