Chapter 144: Labor Life
"YesHehe, but it still sounds interesting. Ha ha. "When I was told by the sausage mouth, I thought of the terrifying mutants with teeth and claws, skin mutations, and body deformities in Resident Evil, and the desert thieves wielding broadswords that only exist in online games, but I think that kind of thing is only in rumors, but now in the real world, how can there be any monsters like mutants?
After a good conversation with the sausage, we had dinner in the hotel, which was a specialty of Xinjiang, such as pork noodles, pilaf, roast mutton and naan. The most energetic thing to eat should be the female wolf head, the female wolf head didn't like to eat utensils when eating, and the hand pilaf just satisfied her primitive animal nature, and she grabbed a lot of hand pilaf and was really happy. And Xiaobai drank sour mare's milk heartily.
During the meal, Sausage Mouth told me that in Xinjiang, mutton is much more expensive than beef, because sheep will be uprooted when they eat grass, while cows eat grass but only eat stems and leaves, which will not lead to grassland desertification, so beef is much cheaper than mutton.
In addition, the sausage mouth also talked to me about some things about Hetian jade, for example, the Hetian jade in the lower reaches of the river is generally the worst grade, called mountain material, and the slightly better is the mountain flowing water, the grade is higher than the mountain material, but second only to the seed material.
In short, the sausage mouth told me to increase my knowledge, and I am more looking forward to the journey to southern Xinjiang tomorrow.
At night, I slept in the same room with Xiaobai and the female wolf head.
When I was sleeping, the female wolf wrapped her arms around me vigorously, treating me as a pillow, as if she wanted to do it with me, but unfortunately in order to save my strength the next day, I didn't linger with the female wolf's head.
At night, the three of them slept with the little white female wolf head, and the female wolf head went to bed early. Xiaobai was lying in the crook of my arm, his hair was scattered over my shoulders and chest, and he was holding a large piece of naan in his mouth, and he was bored pressing the TV remote control.
"Xiaobai?" I asked softly as I gently stroked my white hair and smooth head.
"Well, master, what?" Xiaobai raised his eyes to look at me, a pair of clear black eyes revealing a bit of strangeness.
"Xiaobai, you said, we've been together for almost a year, don't you miss your family?" I asked.
"Master, you're asking me that again." Xiao Bai blinked his eyes and said, "Master, I'm doing well now." I have food and drink every day, and I have met so many sisters and friends, like Sister Qinghan, Sister Mozi, Sister Xianghan, Sister Aowu...... I'm having a great time every day. And you have taken me to so many places, master, and you have been so good to me. I'm so happy. ”
"Didn't you think that your family might be waiting for you to go back and look for you everywhere?"
I looked at Xiaobai and asked with a smile.
Hearing me say this, Xiaobai's face was stunned, his eyes dimmed a little, his soft little lips moved, and then he said with some loss:
"But...... I've been away from them for so long. Even when I saw them, I don't remember them exactly. After all this time, they may have forgotten about me. ”
"What if you haven't forgotten?" I asked.
Xiao Bai showed a somewhat complicated complexion, and then said with some embarrassment:
"Master, do you want me to go?"
Saying that, some didn't dare to look at me.
Seeing Xiaobai's somewhat aggrieved look, my heart moved slightly, and then I grabbed a handful of her big, and said with a smile:
"Hehe, what do you want to be stupid, master, how can I let you go? Come, give me a touch, is it an illusion? I feel like the milk balls have been getting bigger lately. ”
"Don't, master~~ You touch me again, it's very ......" Seeing that I took the opportunity to take advantage of her again, Xiaobai twisted her delicate body in the crook of my arm and wanted to resist my milk-grabbing claw hand,
"Hehe, stupid girl, don't you dare to touch me?" I grabbed Xiaobai's huge coconut with both hands, and buried my head in the ravine between the two coconuts, but Xiaobai actually turned over and accidentally pressed my body under a struggle, and the two big milk balls instantly pressed on my face.
"Woo...... It's going to suffocate...... Hurry up and get out of the way ......"
……
Because I was worried that doing something too angry to Xiaobai would wake up Qiu Xueyu, in the end I still didn't do anything too drastic to Xiaobai. They slept until eight o'clock the next morning, and Sausagemouth and Avaha had already rented two off-road vehicles, got everything ready, and were waiting to go.
Sausagemouth and two other jewelers prepared two buggies for us, one of which was accompanied by Avahayi, and the other was for me, Xiaobai, the female wolf, and two full-time chauffeurs supposedly hired by Sausagemouth.
The starting point is the desert road on the south side of Turpan, which runs all the way across the Taklamakan Desert to the west of Bayindunleng in the south.
There are two gas stations halfway down the desert road. The journey from Turpan to the western part of Bayindunleng takes one day and eight hours, which can be said to be very long.
Although it is autumn, but during the day, the Taklamakan Desert is still quite hot, the temperature is very high, and there is no feeling when we set off in the morning, but when we two cars and people walked along for several hours, close to noon, the weather gradually became hot, sitting in the car felt extremely stuffy, opened the window to ventilate, but it was all hot air. The bursts of hot air made Xiao Baixiang sweat, and he spit out his tongue and kept fanning it with his little hands, making a hachi hachi sound.
"Master, it's so hot." Xiao Bai said profusely sweating, his snow-white little face covered with beads of sweat.
Fortunately, there is air conditioning in the car, otherwise our group would really suffocate to death.
The first time I saw a desert in my life, it was the second largest desert in the world.
The Taklamakan Desert is a complex and diverse desert type, with complex sand mountains and ridges, like dragons resting on the earth, and tower-shaped sand dunes with various honeycomb, feathery, and fish scale dunes. Layers of golden soft desert are stacked on top of each other, like waves on the sea, and the desert can even reflect in the sunlight, and when a gust of wind blows, the sand in the desert can change shape as if it were alive.
The sea of sand is vast and endless, and the horizon at the end of the flat desert meets the blue skyline, and the whole world seems to be left with only gold and blue. There is a blue curtain above, a golden curtain below, and in the middle of the golden curtain, there is a small white line, which is the straight desert road.
The female driver, Amina, told us that in the Taklamakan Desert, you don't have to worry about accidents even if you drive with your eyes closed, because there is an endless desert all around, and there are no obstacles at all.
Our two off-road vehicles, originally drove well on the desert road, because the weather was too hot, we were drowsy, even the female driver was a little napped, the most afraid of driving is napping, so the female driver told us some interesting anecdotes, so to refresh our minds and avoid us from falling asleep.
At first we chatted without a word, but as we chatted, Amina told us some anecdotes about her time as a chauffeur, including some secrets of the Taklamakan Desert.
"Boss Wang, I don't know if you've heard the rumors of 'Caiyun Country'?"
Amina asked us while driving.
"Caiyun Country?" Hearing Amina's question, I asked puzzled. In the 21st century, I've heard of a manga called "The Tale of Caiyun Country", but what Amina's current statement is definitely not the same as what I know.
"What country is that?"
"Hehe, it is a legendary mysterious country in the center of the Taklamakan Desert, it is said that on the night of the full moon, when the sky is full of colorful clouds, the country of colorful clouds will appear in the clouds, and the princess of the white horse from the country of colorful clouds will fall from the sky and run in the desert. If the clouds disappear, the country will disappear with it, and no one will be able to find the location of the country. ”
Amina spoke in a mysterious tone, and my heart was pounding as I listened. And Xiaobai was even more shocked when he heard it.
"Really? It's amazing.,It looks like it's fun.,I really want to go! Xiaobai said with envy with his hands interlaced.
"How is it possible, silly girl, how can there be any clouds on a big night? How is it possible for a horse to run in the desert? It's pretty much the same to say that camels are down. It's all legends. I stopped the stupid girl's exclamation and said with some disdain.
Unexpectedly, when she heard my words, the driver Amina, smiled and said:
"Boss Wang, then you are wrong. At first, I thought it was a legend as much as you did...... However, I have really seen the country of Caiyun with my own eyes, and I have also seen the princess of the white horse galloping in the desert under the full moon on a white horse. ”
"Oh, really?" Hearing Amina's words, I was a little interested, and my originally groggy brain was also a little clearer, "You really saw Caiyun Kingdom?" ”
"yes. It was about the year before last. In August of that year, I drove at night, in the middle of a desert road, and there were no other vehicles with me that night, so I drove a shipment alone. It was very quiet all around. It was about ** o'clock in the evening, in the Taklamakan Desert suddenly blew a strong wind, the desert flying sand and rocks, after a while, in the west of the sky, suddenly appeared a few strange colored clouds, just like a lotus, colorful, that beautiful. Then after a while, I saw a golden city appear above the colorful clouds, with golden city walls, golden streets, and people dressed like characters in costume movies walking on the streets, very prosperous...... At that time, I was really frightened, and I parked the car on the road and wanted to take pictures, but unfortunately by the time I reacted, it was too late, and the clouds had disappeared. Amina said with some regret.
And Xiaobai and I were both fascinated by Amina's narration.
"That'...... And then? I asked.
"Later, I thought of the legend of Caiyun Kingdom, and I wanted to find out, but in the end I didn't dare to go. Just as I was about to drive on – guess what I saw? Speaking of this, Amina's tone suddenly became a little gloomy, and the face in the car's reflector became extremely eerie. 151 Kanshu.com .
