Chapter 1105: Mirage
readx;
The sky slowly darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the endless desert, rendering the whole desert red, like the fire clouds in the sky, which was very beautiful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
More than forty kilometers away from Zhuang Rui and the others camped, there was also a camel caravan, six camels arched together, surrounding the four people in the middle, and there was a small bonfire with an iron pot on it, and the water in it was already boiling.
That's right, this is where Erdan camped, probably because this desert was an oasis a hundred years ago, the groundwater is relatively rich, and in a radius of twenty or thirty meters, it is overgrown with green desert plants.
The place where Erdan found a place to settle down, the water source is richer than Zhuang Rui's, and the alkali content is not high, people and camels can drink it directly, and the conditions are much better than Zhuang Rui's.
Night soon fell, and the desert became more and more silent, except for the "crackling" sound of the flames licking on the dry wood, which was the breathing of a few people gathered around the campfire.
There was not much dry firewood carried on the camel, so Erdan carefully added a piece of chopped dry firewood, shrugged his nose greedily, and smelled the aroma of meat in the pot.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the silence of the desert, but it was Nakagawa, who was sitting by the campfire, speaking to the interpreter.
"Brother Erdan, Nakagawa asked me to ask you, did the people behind you get rid of it?"
Nakagawa is a well-known entrepreneur in Japan, this person is busy with work, there will be less exercise, Nakagawa is also in his forties, tossed in the desert for two days, his face is full of exhaustion.
In the past two days, they have been going around in circles in the desert, and some places have even turned back, and in Zhongchuan, no one should be able to keep up.
"This ...... I'm not sure what Mr. Nakagawa means?"
The 50,000 yuan promised by Zhongchuan has not been received yet, of course he doesn't dare to pack the ticket, otherwise when Mengzi and others appear, he is afraid that Zhongchuan will lose the money.
"Zhongchuan said, he feels almost, and wants to find the ruins of the ancient temple as soon as possible, I said Brother Erdan, find us early and take the money and leave, what are you rubbing here?"
Although Yan Xiaowei's family background is average, he has never suffered this kind of hardship since he was a child, if it weren't for the generous remuneration, he would have quit doing it, and there was no trace of respect for Zhongchuan in his words.
"Hehe, little viagra, let's go around for two more days, this little devil also feels that the money is worth it?"
Erdan laughed, and then said: "Since he said it, little viagra, you tell him, let's go to that quicksand area early tomorrow morning, it's not far from here, and we can get to ......it at noon."
This is what Zhongchuan himself requested, and the second egg suddenly lost his psychological pressure, even if Mengzi and others caught up at that time, he also had an excuse, and the money that should be given to him should not be less.
"Teacher Man, Nakagawa said, I'll leave it to you tomorrow......"
After hearing Yan Xiaowei's translation, Zhongchuan looked at Professor Man, and said a few more words, Nakagawa could not forget that his father was buried in this desert, and there are no bones left until now, he doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of old Zhongchuan.
"Let Mr. Nakagawa rest assured, tomorrow we will move the supplies and let a camel go ahead, in case we encounter quicksand, we can also react......"
Professor Man nodded, this is a matter related to the lives of several people, he does not dare to be careless, as a desert expert, he knows the harm of quicksand best.
After the broth boiled, Erdan extinguished the firewood, the desert was barren, and any supplies had to be saved, and as night fell, several people after eating went into their tents, and the desert became silent again.
Unlike Erdan and the others who fell asleep when they lay down, Nakagawa couldn't sleep over and over, when his father died, he was still very little, and he was going to the place where his father disappeared tomorrow, which made Nakagawa feel an indescribable taste in his heart.
ā¦ā¦
"Let's go, pack up your things......"
At five o'clock the next day, Mengzi shouted for everyone to get up and pack their things, and the desert was under the scorching sun during the day, and the people who lived here would take advantage of the early morning to walk a little more.
Zhuang Rui and his party had a good rest yesterday, and today is the last day to track the second camel team, and all of them are in good spirits.
After packing up the things, the sky has already lit up, and in the desert full of yellow sand, there are a few traces of fog wafting, Mengzi looked at the sky a little worriedly, and said: "The weather is not quite right, maybe there is a strong wind, let's find a flat place......
The strong winds in the desert are terrifying, often a gust of wind blows, and the mountain-like sand dunes will become flat, and the originally flat sand bed will also stand abruptly into a sand mountain.
Therefore, in case of high winds, it is best to find a flat place and hide under the camels, which is the only way to hide from the desert winds.
After Zhuang Rui heard Mengzi's words, he looked back and forth, and said, "Otherwise, let's stay here......"
The place where they are now, the existence of the cactus, means that this place has not been covered by wild sand, and it should be a relatively safe place.
Mengzi waved his hand, he had been looking at the fog on the desert, and suddenly his eyes were a little straight, and he shouted loudly: "Ahem, you guys are lucky, you can actually see a mirage!"
"Mirage? What is that?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately lost the meaning of asking, because Zhuang Rui also saw the scene in front of him, and suddenly the whole person was stunned, and he didn't know that a piece of air-dried meat in his hand fell to the sand.
"Sea ...... Mirage?"
On the desert in front of Zhuang Rui and the others' campsite, the originally scattered fog has become thicker, and in the middle of the fog, there seem to be many scenes, and it is difficult to distinguish them in a daze.
Everyone was attracted by Zhuang Rui's exclamation, in fact, there was no need to point it out at all, as long as you looked up, you could see that in the desert in front of you, there seemed to be a city standing out of thin air, and people were shuttling among them.
The legendary illusion appeared before their eyes, and everyone was stunned by the sight, standing still, motionless and looking at the mirage in the distance.
Zhuang Rui reacted quickly, took out his backpack from the camel impulsively, took out a small camera from it, turned it on and aimed at the modern city in front of him.
Mirage is a natural phenomenon formed by the refraction of light, also referred to as mirage, which is a virtual image formed by the refraction of light reflected by objects on earth through the atmosphere, and scientists call it optical illusion.
You must know that this kind of scene is extremely rare, and even fewer can be videotaped, and Zhuang Rui will certainly not let go of this opportunity.
"That'...... That's the car,, and the sea, I really want to jump in and take a shower......"
After about three or four minutes, the originally vague scene gradually became clear, towering buildings, one by one displayed in front of everyone, and the speeding car seemed to be like a movie picture, speeding through the air in the distance.
Zhuang Rui looked at the scene in front of him, next to the modern high-rise buildings on both sides of the highway, the busy sea-crossing ferries shuttled between the north and south banks, fishing boats, cruise ships, sightseeing boats, 10,000-ton giant ships and their whistles, intertwined with a wonderful prosperous scenery on the sea.
The more Zhuang Rui looked at it, the more familiar he became, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, and he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "This ...... Isn't this the fucking Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong?"
Now is not ancient, and it is impossible to make a scientific explanation for the mirage, but the probability of being able to see his familiar scene in the mirage is very small, which makes Zhuang Rui feel like he has won the jackpot.
Zhuang Rui once stayed in a hotel next to Victoria Harbour for a few days, and he was so familiar with the scenery there that he was sure he was absolutely not dazzled.
"That's right, it's Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, Brother Zhuang, I found that as long as I follow you, I can see any miracle......"
Peng Fei next to Zhuang Rui was also muttering to himself, he was even more familiar with Victoria Harbor than Zhuang Rui, because he once stole a luxury cruise ship worth hundreds of millions of dollars from here, and it took two days just to step on the spot.
"It's beautiful, there...... Is it Hong Kong?"
Although it is not the first time that Mengzi has seen a mirage, he still looks at the beautiful scenery in the distance without blinking, he has been to Dunhuang since he was born, although he knows Hong Kong, but he has never been there.
"That's right, it's Hong Kong, Brother Mengzi, you can go and see it when you have a chance in the future......"
Zhuang Rui replied to Mengzi's words in his mouth, but his eyes did not move for a moment, although the picture is familiar, but seeing this kind of scenery in Hong Kong is definitely two completely different feelings.
"I'll definitely go see ...... in the future"
Mengzi nodded, in ancient times in our country, the mirage was regarded as a fairyland, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once led people to Penglai to visit the fairyland, and also sent people to Penglai to seek a panacea many times.
Being able to go to the fairyland in person is probably the ideal in the hearts of every desert person, so when he heard Zhuang Rui say this, Mengzi also made a decision in his heart, after going out of the desert this time, he must travel to Hong Kong.
The mirage in the distance lasted for about forty minutes, and the fog slowly faded a little.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the desert, and the yellow sand fascinated everyone's round, somewhat sour eyes, but when they opened their eyes again, the mirage in front of them had completely disappeared, only a blue sky and endless desert.
"Grandma's, why is it so vague......"
Zhuang Rui saw that the mirage had disappeared, and hurriedly picked up the camera in his hand to check it, but he was disappointed to find that the scenery that was extremely clear in his eyes was blurred, and he could only barely distinguish some images.
However, to be able to see this spectacle with his own eyes, even if this trip to the desert was fruitless, Zhuang Rui was satisfied.
