Chapter 1: Death Canyon! Attach!
theunitedstates.
Zhong Shao glanced up at the letters on the billboard in the airport hall, the United States, just like that?
On the night that Zhong Shao finished introducing that story, a terrible thought kept breeding and sprouting in the hearts of the three of them, then quickly grew and exploded, and finally exploded directly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After Zhong Shao proposed to go to the United States to find out, he immediately got the nods of Yan Feng and Yi Yi. The three of them were not like other teenagers, and the three of them had already traveled to most of the places in the world when others were still studying. Yan Feng's family is rich, and he also has a face that is harmless to humans and animals and fascinates a large number of girls. Every time I think of this, Zhong Shao has the resentment in his heart. As for Yiyi, he was born in a red family, and his figure and face are not said at all. The three of them have known each other since they were children, and after they went to middle school, the three of them lived in a mansion under the name of Zhen Feng and his father.
With money and leisure, the biggest hobby of the three of them has become traveling. I have been to so many places since I was a child, and ordinary places really can't get into their eyes, but fortunately, Zhong Shao's story is extremely weird, and there are still six or seven points of credibility when it is over, so the three of them decided to find out.
As soon as the college entrance examination ended, the three of them told their families that they were going out for a while, but in fact, the parents had long been familiar and accustomed to the behavior of the three of them often going out to play crazy, and they just explained the matters that needed attention.
Yan Feng carried his travel bag on his back and said with a tired face: "Zhong Shao, what kind of tour guide are you looking for?" Why haven't you seen anyone yet? β
Zhong Shao's state is not much better, "Wait a minute, it should be coming soon-"
Yi Yi didn't have jet lag upside down, and his complexion was very bad. "That, thereβ" Yi Yi suddenly whispered, Zhong Shao looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, there was a person holding a sign that read "Zhong Shao".
Zhong Shao packed his luggage, in fact, they didn't bring too many things, most of them had to be bought here after settling down. Zhong Shao had just taken two steps when he saw that Yan Feng had already rushed out. Zhong Shao was speechless for a while, and when he got closer, the tour guide was really a young girl with a brilliant appearance, wearing a pale white dress, dressed in a forest system.
Zhong Shaoqiang cheered up and squeezed out a smile, which was regarded as a greeting. The girl introduced herself as Yun Ni, Zhong Shaoxiao didn't care, most of the people who are tour guides or engage in tourism organizations don't call by their real names, which is very common.
After that, the three of them went to the place she had arranged with Yun Ni, and according to the plan, they had to rest for one night, go out to buy equipment the next day, and set off the day after tomorrow.
To make a long story short, the three of them did a lot of strategy before they came, so they didn't delay much in the middle, and they set off directly on the third day.
The military Humvee galloped in the desert, and the tour guide Yun Ni glanced at the bulging backpack in the rearview mirror, and said with a chuckle: "Why do you bring so many things?" β
Zhong Shao sat in the passenger seat and said, "Some food, I'm afraid that I will go hungry in the desert." After more than two days of contact, he already knew that the tour guide Yun Ni was an international student in the United States, and he occasionally worked as a tour guide. First, it is fun, you can see more scenery. The second is to earn some pocket money, not all international students are so rich.
Of course, Yunni is obviously more in line with the former.
Yun Nigan laughed twice and said, "Now we are still outside the desert, and after the last supply station in front, we have to go around in a circle, otherwise those border guards will not let us in." β
Zhong Shao nodded and didn't make a sound, the place they were going to was not open to the public, or that there was no one living in that area at all, but fortunately, money could make ghosts grind, Zhong Shao completely ignored Yan Feng's feelings and added several times the money to Yun Ni, and Yun Ni was willing to agree to take them in.
When they arrived at the supply station, Yin Feng and Zhong Shao went to buy a lot of sealed dried beef, Yun Ni kindly reminded Zhong Shao not to buy too much, Zhong Shao asked why, Yun Ni played a dumb riddle and smiled and said You will know when you enter the desert.
Zhong Shao didn't listen to her and still bought a lot of dried beef. Yunni smiled and didn't care, and then went to deflate the Hummer. The air pressure of the tires in the desert should not be too high, otherwise the travel speed will be very slow, and more importantly, it will be very unsafe. Yan Feng leaned against the railing on the side and whispered, "How did you buy so much food?" Also, how did you buy so much equipment yesterday? I won't say anything about the mess of tactical knives and tactical flashlights, how can there be an expedition rope? My brother, it's true that we're nominally here to explore, but we're not really going to play with our lives, and I always feel like you're a little weird this time. β
Zhong Shao pressed his hands on the railing to support his body, and glanced at Yi Yi with his back to Yan Feng.
"It's always good to be a little guarded." Zhong Shao said.
Packing up their things, the Hummer set off again with four people. They went all the way to the west, met the border guards, and after a little interrogation, the border guards cleared them up, and then they headed south as they were supposed to - which would basically bring them back to their original starting point.
But they didn't walk long, then they changed direction, hooked their heads, drove straight down the main road, circled the small road, bypassed the border guards, came to the back of the border guards, and then entered directly through the gap between the two huge canyons, turned around and went straight to the north.
The two main peaks are surrounded by high mountains on either side of the canyon, and the Hummer crosses between the two peaks and plunges headlong into the depths.
Zhong Shao leaned his head against the car window, and there was no expression on his face. Yi Yi and Yan Feng were a little excited, and Yan Feng kept talking to himself, asking Yun Ni how he knew about this road here. Yun Ni smiled and explained that she had checked the information before, so she knew part of the way, and Yin Feng nodded in relief.
After the car staggered out of the canyon, everyone's vision suddenly widened.
Pale white grains of sand glow white in the sun's rays, and the scorching heat grills the entire sea of sand. It was noon, and Yunni beckoned the three of them to put on their glasses, and they couldn't see things naked for a long time in the desert. Now they are about to make their way to the very center of this sea of sand, and there is no life on the way. Here, not to mention life, the appearance of anything other than grains of sand and sunlight will make people feel abrupt!
The sea of sand is really an ocean of sand!
Yunni turned on the satellite positioning of the vehicle, and even experienced veterans did not dare to drive alone without positioning in the desert, because if there was no convoy to follow, people would often lose their sense of direction after a long time in the desert. There is no sign to be found except the sun, and the white desert leaves only despair.
The power of the Hummer is very large, and it has been filled with fuel at the supply station before leaving, and I heard Yunni say that she has changed this car privately, so in this boundless desert, the Hummer is really like a wild horse that has escaped from any constraints, galloping forward in the desert wantonly.
The specific heat capacity of the sand grains is very low, so the surface temperature of the desert during the day is much higher than the actual temperature, but fortunately there is air conditioning in the car, and they don't stop any way. Yunni planned to get there before dark, because once it was dark, the sand was very likely to flow, and it was easy for people to lose their lives here, so Yunni insisted on reaching the outer edge of the Grand Canyon before dark.
Zhong Shao had discussed with Yun Ni before, Yun Ni could only take them to the outside of the canyon to have a look, and would never and could not enter the inside of the canyon. When Yan Feng heard it at the time, he joked and said that Sister Yunni doesn't need to be afraid, we are the little prince who kills the Buddha and kills the ghost when he encounters the ghost. Zhong Shao laughed directly, "It's the eighth little prince, right?" Then the two men scuffled together.
Yun Ni smiled at that time, but still insisted on his statement, and he must not enter the canyon.
The road was bumpy and bumpy, and after a few hours, the trio grew tired of the sight in front of them. They could no longer see the canyon behind them when they first entered, and there was desert on all sides, so they could only judge the direction according to satellite positioning. Yiyi kept his eyes closed and didn't speak. It's this guy who chatters non-stop along the way.
"Sister Yunni, you must not use WeChat when you are abroad, right?" Yan Feng asked with a smile.
"Not necessarily, I'll just use it." Yunni slammed on the accelerator, and the car began to run wildly in the desert. There are very few smooth roads in the desert, and most of them are hollows like ice cirques. The car rushes over the side of the hollow, and you have to be very precise when driving on it, otherwise you may fall into the hollow. The car rolled up huge waves of sand on the sand, which looked spectacular from a distance.
Zhong Shao glanced at Yun Ni with slanted eyes, and turned his head without speaking.
Yan Feng let out an "oh", and then said as if he suddenly realized: "Then Sister Yunni, add a WeChat?" We can get in touch when we're fine. β
If you don't look at this guy's expression, I don't think he's lustful.
Zhong Shao closed his eyes and gently rubbed his temples with his hands, how could this living treasure be this virtue everywhere? It's a shame on yourself.
Yun Ni smiled and said yes, and then slammed on the accelerator.
Four hours later, the car stopped in front of a large mountain that was surrounded by a large mountain. Yan Feng pushed open the door and began to vomit, Zhong Shao ignored this guy's ugliness, and after getting out of the car, he began to look at the mountain in front of him.
They were now on the west side of the mountain, and from a distance they could only see that the main body of the mountain was made up of three peaks. The whole mountain is brownish-red, and the three peaks are lined up from south to north, and the main peak in the middle is abnormally slightly lower than the side peaks on both sides.
Zhong Shao looked at his watch, it was almost six o'clock. It was already getting dark, and they were probably in the wrong place. Seeing that Yun Ni had not spoken, Zhong Shao spoke: "Sister Yun Ni, how long will it take for us to go around this mountain to the east of the mountain from here?" β
Yun Ni looked at the mountain and said, "The road here is much smoother, I estimate that it will take a few hours to get there." It's a long time in the desert, and if we go now, we'll be there before it gets dark. β
Zhong Shao patted Yin Feng's back, and then came to the car door and waved his hand, "Get in the car, let's spend the night in front." β
"Huh?" When Yan Feng heard that he was going to take the car again, his face was full of bitterness. This chick is too grudgeful, she simply drove the car as an airplane along the way, and almost shook him out, she is completely a copy of Zhong Shao, and she doesn't treat the person in the car as a person at all.
The car started again and drove around the outer edge of the mountain towards the east. Before, they were not sure of the specific location of the Grand Canyon, so they could only search and correct the direction as they drove along. Along the way, they slanted along the northeast direction, recklessly broke here, and vaguely saw the shadow of the Grand Canyon, at first they were afraid that this was a mirage, and when they got closer, they realized that this was the Grand Canyon they had been looking for for a long time.
Unlike before, they only had to follow the mountains. There were only two bars of fuel left in the car's fuel tank, and Zhong Shao glanced at the dial and asked, "You can't go back with such a little amount of fuel, right?" "Yunni turned on the headlights, and the night had fallen." Well, but it doesn't matter, there's gas in the trunk. Zhong Shao nodded and said no more.
By the time we reached the east side of the Grand Canyon, it was completely dark. As soon as Zhong Shao and his entourage got out of the car, they were immediately attracted by the scene in front of them. Through the faint moonlight, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes were three majestic mountains. The main peak in the middle is slightly lower than the two sides, located due west, and the two side peaks face each other from north to south, spreading longitudinally from west to east, and finally hugging each other, leaving a relatively narrow entrance that looks like a gourd mouth.
The four of them immediately moved the supplies from the car, and Zhong Shao took advantage of the time when the three of them set up their tents to go out and walk around twice. Yan Feng rolled his eyes, you have a fart in this kind of ghost place, you won't find excuses, where did your IQ go.
Zhong Shao walked towards the entrance of the canyon with a strong flashlight, the closer he got, the more humidity in the air increased, and after passing through the entrance of the canyon, Zhong Shao suddenly understood why this was the case.
According to normal speaking, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, and it is only not long after nightfall, Zhong Shao can clearly feel the temperature around him falling down, but after entering the canyon, the temperature is instantly much higher. The air carried a cool breeze and blew on Zhong Shao's cheeks.
Zhong Shao shook around the canyon with a strong flashlight, and the penetration of the flashlight light was very strong, and the true appearance of this canyon suddenly appeared in front of Zhong Shao's eyes.
Lake.
There was actually a lake in the center of this canyon, Zhong Shao was a little surprised. Most people have the impression that there is not a drop of water in the desert, but in fact, some deserts also existed for a long time, but because of serious soil erosion or land salinization, the desertification of the land was gradually caused. Although I didn't see the exact situation, I was able to see most of the canyon surrounded by three mountains under the bright light of the flashlight.
After being surprised, Zhong Shao immediately understood. It is precisely because the two side peaks are surrounded by each other that it is difficult for sunlight to shine into the canyon, coupled with the inclination of the main peak, most of the rainwater falls into the canyon, and there are more stones in the center of the canyon, and the water penetration rate and evaporation rate will decrease, and the lake will be congested over time.
The reason why I felt the temperature rise when I first came in was also because of the water in the lake. The specific heat capacity of the water is quite large, absorbing heat during the day and releasing heat at night, so that the temperature here is slightly higher than outside the canyon.
Without staying too long, Zhong Shao turned around and went back with a flashlight, Yan Feng and Yi Yi had already set up the tent, Yun Ni put the food in front of the bonfire, Zhong Shao walked over and sat by the campfire, added fuel to it, and did not speak. He had been thinking that since there was water in this canyon, it was logical that there should be living creatures. But along the way, they didn't see anything alive except for some weathered animal bones.
Driving away all the messy thoughts in his head, Zhong Shao tore the beef and put it in his mouth and began to chew.
"Zhong Shao, you're back walking the dog?" Yin Feng laughed and mocked Zhong Shao.
"How's it going, do you see anything?" Ichi sat down cross-legged.
Zhong Shao shook his head, looked at the bonfire in front of him and said, "But there is a lake inside. β
Yan Feng tore a large piece of beef and said, "Zhong Shao, are you here for the eldest aunt?" Why have you been listless these days? β
Zhong Shao didn't want to deal with this idiot, so he grabbed a bag of food and smashed it. This guy has always been a second-class guy since he was a child, often like a snake spirit disease, and it is the kind that cannot be cured for life, so Zhong Shao is too lazy to take care of him.
Yun Ni sat on the side and ate quietly, watching Yan Feng constantly teasing Zhong Shao one sentence at a time, and laughed.
"Zhong Shao, are we going to go in and have a look tomorrow?" Yi Yi held his chin and winked at Zhong Shao. Yi Yi's eyes are very special, and Zhong Shao can't resist them at all.
Zhong Shao took a bite of the beef and said: "I've been on the road for a day today, take a good rest tonight, and go in directly tomorrow, if we can't find the entrance within a day tomorrow, we must exit before dark, and then we will discuss it again, whether we leave or stay, how about it?" β
"Okay, I don't have a problem." Yi nodded.
"Me too." Yin Feng also nodded in agreement.
"No way!" A girl's voice was as cold as ice.
Zhong Shao glanced up at Yun Ni and didn't speak, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while.
"I don't know what you're going to do in this canyon, but none of the people who came here before could come out, and for hundreds of years, how many gold diggers have never come out, and I'm also thinking about you." Yun Ni put down the food and looked at Zhong Shao, "Didn't we say it before?" Just look outside the canyon and never go inside. β
Zhong Shao, who had been silent and cold for a day, suddenly raised his head and smiled at Yun Ni, and said, "Sister Yun Ni, just do as you say, tomorrow we will only take a look outside, and then leave." β
Yan Feng just wanted to speak, Yi Yi touched him with his elbow, and then stood up, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep first." β
Zhong Shao nodded, Yi Yi turned to leave, and gave Yan Feng a look, and Yan Feng dragged a bitter face into his tent.
There was no word for a long time, only the occasional sizzling sound of the firewood burning, and the charcoal burning was red and translucent, emitting a faint red light, which was reflected on the two people.
"Sister Yunni, where is your home?" Zhong Shao looked at Yunni for a long time and asked slowly.
Yun Ni lifted the green silk in his ear and said softly, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" β
"It's okay, nonsense." Zhong Shao smiled and piled the fire in the center.
"Beijing." Yun Ni looked down at the fiery charcoal, and seemed to have some hesitation. "What about you?"
"Nanjing." Zhong Shao replied succinctly, and then the two of them fell silent again.
The fire light from the red charcoal shone on Yun Ni's cheeks, and the red flutter was like a sunset, which was very attractive, but in fact, she was not much older than Zhong Shao.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Yun Ni asked in a low voice.
Zhong Shao raised his head and smiled, and said softly: "I'll go to sleep in a while, you have been driving for a day, if you are sleepy, go to sleep first." β
Yunni nodded, got up and slipped into the tent.
Zhong Shao sat alone by the fire, watching the bonfire change from fiery red to dark red, then from dark red to gradually extinguished, and finally cooled. He sat there silently, silent, his face gloomy and dripping.
After a while, Zhong Shao pushed the sand pile with his foot to extinguish the bonfire, and then got up and walked to the tent. Not his, but cloudy.
Zhong Shao stood in front of Yunni's tent, not moving, as if he was thinking about something hesitating, as if he had made some major decision. After more than ten seconds, Zhong Shao grabbed the pocket of his pants, then unzipped the Yunni tent and got in.
A dark shadow poked his head out of the tent and whispered, "Sure enough, there is adultery." β
