Chapter 55: The Ancient Kingdom of Excellence
On the third day, Wang Lihong received a call from Bai Meng, and she asked Wang Lihong to wait at Jincheng International Airport, and naturally someone would contact him at that time.
Wang Lihong packed his luggage, explained everything, and set off. The premise of Bai Meng, whom he promised, was to ensure Han Ya's safety.
When he arrived at the airport, Wang Lihong came into contact with Bai Meng's people at the ticket gate, and what Bai Meng said was really right, this person is indeed very cute, it can almost be said that he is a second force.
"Where the hell are you going? Engaging in such mystery? Wang Lihong asked the guy impatiently.
"My name is Meng Qi, Mengzi's Meng, and the miracle of Qi, only the combination of these two words can completely highlight my charm." Di Nian introduced himself as a big bunch at the beginning, giggling, and it could be seen that he was a nervous optimist.
"I don't care what you are, let's say, where are you going this time, what are you going to do?" Wang Lihong was a little impatient with this guy.
"Oh, you're a bad temper. Forget it, I went back, and my attitude was too bad to cooperate. Di Nian saw Wang Lihong's indifferent appearance, and after speaking, he was about to turn around and leave with his bag on his back.
Xiaoya was in their hands, Wang Lihong could only admit a little cowardice, sighed, and shouted to him: "Brother Meng Qi, I have eaten a few packs of spicy strips in the past two days, and I am a little angry, you must not mind what I said just now." ”
When Meng Qi heard this, his eyes rolled, and he immediately turned around and came back, and said with a smile: "It's a good comrade to know that you can change your mistakes, okay." Uncle Ben is young and handsome, so he doesn't care. Let's go, gallop together and revisit the Silk Road. ”
Wang Lihong didn't ask anything more, because it really felt very laborious to talk to this guy, and it was still a chatter.
On the plane, Meng Qi told him the destination and purpose of this time. This time, they are going to a country that is said to have appeared near the Silk Road, the Exquisite Ancient Country.
This exquisite ancient country has been recorded in history, when Zhang Qian once mentioned when he went to the Western Regions: "The mysterious country of the exquisite ancient country is also difficult for ordinary people to find." The people are very strange, the height is like a palm, the folk customs are simple, and the place where they live is shocking. ”
The existence of this Exquisite Ancient Kingdom has always been a mystery. Since then, it has been continuously searched, but due to its short existence and extremely small historical records, it has almost never been found.
"Is there really this country in this world?" Wang Lihong asked in disbelief.
Meng Qi became a little serious at this time, and said solemnly: "The Exquisite Ancient Kingdom does exist, but there is no way to know where it is now. Legend has it that the people of this exquisite ancient country are the rice people. ”
"Rice people? What kind of rice people," Wang Lihong felt more mysterious the more he listened.
"What do you say, it's a small human race, it looks exactly like a human being, but I heard that it's only the size of two or three fingers. Ay. Let's not talk about it, let's sleep first. Meng Qi explained to Wang Lihong a little, and then turned over and began to sleep.
"What the hell are they looking for?" Wang Lihong asked twice, but Meng Qi didn't say anything, and Bai Meng avoided answering this question, it seems that there are a lot of secrets in it.
They got off the plane in Xinjiang and went straight to a small town in Lop Nur. This town is a desert town, and there are no other villages around. It's such a lonely town.
"It's finally here, it's the first time I've come to Xinjiang." Wang Lihong got out of the car. Put the backpack on the ground, close your eyes and open your arms to breathe in the exotic air, revealing a curious freshness and excitement.
"It's finally here, it's too far away." Meng Qi walked from behind slowly, looking listless.
"Let's go, let's go find a place to eat first. Tynyima's hungry. Wang Lihong touched his stomach, lifted the backpack on the ground and put it on his shoulder, and began to look around to see where there was food.
"Well, let's go. Eat and go. There's a restaurant over there, quick! "Meng Qituan is excited to eat together. He yelled annoyably as he walked, and suddenly quickened his pace and ran forward.
"Can you be quiet for a while, big brother, aren't you tired of nagging all the time?" Wang Lihong listened impatiently.
The two of them dragged a few duffel bags and walked slowly towards the hotel, and the people all the way through stared at them, as if they had never seen strangers, which made them feel very uncomfortable.
"Why are these people always looking at us, aren't they just two outsiders, are they so curious?" Meng Qi thought to Wang Lihong beside him.
The pedestrian, who looked around at the two of them like a monster, immediately avoided them as if he were looking at a plague god, and when his gaze met them, he quickly avoided them like a plague god.
"Hahaha, it must be that you have a fierce face, and people are afraid of you when they look at it, so ah, you have to learn from me, smile more, and be amiable in that way." Meng Qi narcissistically boasted about himself.
"You fart so much, Lao Tzu is also a handsome man from ten miles and eight towns, if you want to say that it will make people's eyes hurt when you look at it, then I don't dare to compare with you." Wang Lihong retorted unconvinced, and praised himself beautifully.
"Hahaha, you're quite a narcissistic person. Lalala......" Meng Qicai ignored him and was a little unhappy, generously said his thoughts, humming a song and continuing to walk.
His words caused Wang Lihong to frown and glare at him angrily in the back, and the two fought while walking.
"Young man, if you want to go to dinner, I know there's a good restaurant over there, I'll take you there," Suddenly a hunchbacked old man dressed in gray clothes and holding a cane came up to them and beckoned to them.
"No need, let's just eat something at this place, this one looks pretty good...... Meng Qi turned around and politely responded to the words of the old man beside him, and continued to walk towards the door of the hotel. While walking, I silently thought in my heart: "The business competition here is really big, and you still come out to be a scalper to grab customers at such an old age." ”
"You can..." The hunchbacked old man was just about to speak, when he saw two young and beautiful girls coming out of the door of the hotel, walking directly towards them with a smile on their faces, he immediately stopped talking, turned around and left quickly.
"Handsome guy, welcome! Come on, let's help you get your bag. A girl in a blue dress walked up to Wang Lihong and began to be enthusiastic, reaching out to help Wang Lihong carry her bag.
"No need, I'll do it myself, you're so enthusiastic." Meng Qi quipped, and then continued walking.
"Alas, alas, I'll take this bag myself, we're just here to eat, your enthusiasm scares us." Wang Lihong hugged the backpack on his shoulders with both hands, and followed Meng Qi forward.
Wang Lihong walked into the door of the hotel and looked around, wondering, "Why are there no other guests?" ”
Looking at the empty dining room, the seats are neatly arranged, and the decoration looks gorgeous and exquisite, except for a few waiters on the other side of the bar, there are no other guests.
"It's not time to eat yet, so how can there be guests? Come on, please sit here. The girl in the blue dress smiled sweetly and politely helped him pull the chair away and motioned for him to sit down.
"Oh. What do you have to eat here? As soon as Wang Lihong sat down, he immediately began to ask anxiously, and couldn't wait to take the tableware in his hand.
"Linda, go get the menu, the guest order." The woman in the blue dress commanded the girl in the red dress behind her, her face beaming.
"Okay, Sister Jasmine." Linda turned and walked towards the hall.
After a while, Linda took the menu and handed it to them, and no one had a copy.
"Your food here is really cheap." Meng Qi was surprised while looking at the menu in his hand, and Jasmine and Linda next to him smiled silently, just quietly waiting for them to order.
Wang Lihong and Meng Qi ordered a few dishes that seemed particularly appetizing, and when their orders began to be served, several people came in at the door of the restaurant one after another, and sat down directly across the three tables, looking at them from time to time.
The two of them were already hungry at this time, and they had just seen the strange eyes of those pedestrians outside the door, so they didn't pay too much attention to this, and only cared about eating vegetables and rice, looking like they were devouring ferociously.
After being full of wine and food, the two sat on the dining chair and touched their stomachs a little stiff, and Meng Qi also burped gently.
When they are full, they just want to sleep, maybe it is a long journey, both of them feel very tired, and they feel more and more heavy eyelids, "Bang!" With a bang, he collapsed on the dining table and fell asleep on his stomach.
"Quick!" In a daze, they seemed to see the people at the next table walking towards them. (To be continued......)
