637, no man's land
Ren He stood in a small restaurant on the side of the desert road, outside was the yellow sand flying in the sky, the sun was shining on the earth, and the whole world seemed to have turned into a yellow silent movie. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ren He pulled down the scarf covering his mouth and spit out the faint yellow sand in his mouth: "Boss, do you still have fish-flavored shredded meat?" he asked, pointing to the faded mottled menu on the wall of the small shop.
It is still a bit kind to be able to see the words fish-flavored shredded pork and kung pao chicken in this demonized no-man's land.
The whole journey is 3,600 kilometers, which is not something that can be reached in one day, Ren He feels that it is better to be slower than to travel day and night.
The boss, who was hiding behind the counter and napping, looked up at Ren He, it was really not easy to have a guest on this road: "Yes!"
Ren He glanced at the price behind the fish-flavored shredded pork and was startled: "98?
He remembered that in the no-man's land movie, Xu Zheng spent 100 yuan in order to buy a lighter, and he knew that the price of this place where there was no village and no store in the back might be very expensive, but a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork cost 98 yuan, right?
The boss entered the kitchen weakly, Ren He heard the sound of chopping meat, and the boss's words: "Fifteen beans, nineteen garlic moss, even cabbage radish are three pieces of five, a kilogram of green onions is fifteen pieces, and a kilogram of garlic is more than fifteen yuan, big brother, the price here is already expensive, don't think I'm black, you go to the town and it's like this, it's not much cheaper than me." ”
Yes, as soon as Ren He heard it, he knew that people were prepared, and the rhetoric was all set, but Ren He would never believe that he said that the town was also at this price, in this kind of wilderness, wouldn't it be possible to slaughter one?
"A plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, a plate of kung pao chicken, and a pot of hairy blood," Ren Hele didn't raise the bar with the boss: "Another bottle of beer!"
After leaving Jiayuguan on the way, most of the time on the journey from Urumqi to Ili Khorgos on the border was on the road, and there were not many places to have a good meal on the roadside.
98 fish-flavored shredded pork, 88 kung pao chicken, 198 mao xuewang, the price is really expensive, but Ren He is not bad for money, and he can finally stutter, and he must not let go. Next to the menu is a few typing: Satellite phone is available.
When I arrived at this place, there was indeed no signal on ordinary mobile phones.
"Generous," the boss exclaimed, "Wait a minute, it'll be ready soon." ”
After the meal came up, Ren He took a look, it was okay, it could only be said that it was a home-cooked level, but it was not bad.
"Young man, I see that you continue to the southwest, buy some dry food, the further west you go, the more you can't show your wealth," the boss kindly reminded.
He is not worried that this boss will add something unclean to the dish and murder him, and there is a simple skill to distinguish the taste in the master-level reconnaissance skills, and there is no problem with the dish.
This boss is estimated to be a rare customer who has seen him so arrogant, knowing that he was slaughtered, he ordered three dishes in one go, but what people said is also right, now Ren He has not gotten a firearm, and it is not absolutely safe.
And even if you get a firearm, you can do it and you will shoot whoever provokes you? Ren He can't do this kind of thing, so he still listens to the boss, more things are better than less things, and try to keep a low profile in the future.
Originally, his off-road vehicle was more flamboyant, but after a few days of wind and sand, the car looked dusty and nothing special.
Ren He put aside the topic: "Isn't it that greenhouse vegetables are also very popular in Xinjiang, why are prices still so expensive?"
"Who knows," the boss was also interested in chatting with Ren He: "And the salary is still low, I used to work in the factory, and it was only 1,800 yuan a month, so I really can't take care of life." ”
"Listen to your words, boss, isn't this northwest safe?" Ren He asked.
"It's okay if you want to stay in the town or in the city, mainly because I see that you are going to run to a remote place, so I remind you that it is much more peaceful now than before, but the outlaws still can't be cut off," the boss shook his head and said.
This is in line with Ren He's cognition, it does not seem to be a security threat in the city, far less dangerous than people think, of course, violent incidents are often heard.
In fact, the main tourist route in Xinjiang is to avoid most dangerous places, and no group will take the initiative to take tourists to desolate places, at least with the government's key protection.
However, what the wilderness is like, Ren He has not really seen it, his main thing now is to hurry to Khorgos City to receive the equipment, Steve has already called him, and the person who delivered the equipment has been waiting outside the border for 3 days.
After receiving the equipment, Ren He will turn back to Karamay, and he has one more thing to consider, if the wild yaks in Karamay are not enough for him to complete the task, I am afraid that he will have to go to Hoh Xili, which is located in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in southwest Qinghai.
Ren He asked in a whisper, seemingly inadvertently: "Boss, is the poaching situation still so rampant in Karamay now?"
After hearing this, the boss's face changed: "Young man, don't ask about this matter, it has nothing to do with you, you young man who has no power to tie the chicken, don't have anything to do with them." ”
It seems that this poaching gang is also famous in this area, too, with a gun in hand, it is normal to be fierce at all.
However, he Ren He is not an ordinary person, and Ren He himself is here for this group of people. The purpose is to protect the wild yaks, and if they can not hurt people, they will not hurt people, but if someone really provokes them, the global fanatics who will make the entire CIA combat team fall into the sand, there is no reason to be afraid of these bandits.
Ren He took out 400 yuan and put it on the table: "Don't look for it, thank you boss!"
After that, he was about to get in the car and leave, but the boss said weakly: "Ahem, you are still 20 years short of me."
Ren He was stunned for a moment: "98 fish-flavored shredded pork, 88 kung pao chicken, 198 mao xuewang, and only 384!"
"Beer...... Beer 36 a bottle ......," the owner explained.
Ren He's face turned black at that time, you want 36 yuan for a bottle of Tsingtao beer? He still honestly made up another 20 yuan, more than one thing is better than one less thing.
Now, Ren He has a general understanding of this no-man's land.
Even the owner of this small restaurant thinks that Ren He is a student and belongs to the kind of bullies, Ren He is a little crying and laughing, but this is also his advantage, who would have thought that he would fight poaching gangs with energetic equipment?
Keep a low profile and find the traces of the poaching gang first.
