Volume 2, The Lost Trace of the Sand Sea Chapter 96, Appointment (I)

Woo.........

Bang .........

The whistle stabbed and broke the silence of the night, and several wild cats jumped up and down on the side of the shock, and disappeared without a trace with a meow in their mouths.

The train started, and Chen Tao and Haozi sat face to face on the edge of the lower bunk of the sleeper car, holding instant noodle boxes in their hands.

There is no direct connection from the ancient city to Hotan, and it can only be reversed. The two first took a one-day and one-night train to Urumqi, and then transferred from Urumqi to a green train to Hotan.

From the Loess Plateau to the Great Gobi Desert in the frontier desert, the scenery changes along the way, watching the trees become fewer and fewer, and the mountains become higher and higher, Chen Tao's anxiety and excitement are becoming more and more dramatic.

This time, I was willful enough, and this big adventure was full of worries, but it was more exciting.

This thrill of going out of your way to pursue a secret and a goal is addictive.

When I arrived in Urumqi, it was afternoon, and there were a lot of people out of the station, and the cool breeze blew on the body for a while.

Haozi has no interest, seeing that there are many tickets to Hetian, and it is not bad for a moment, he has to take Chen Tao to the roadside to see the beauties of Xinjiang.

Chen Tao was anxious, and he couldn't prevent Haozi's soft grinding and hard soaking, plus instant noodles and dry rice all the way, people were really irritable after staying in the carriage for a long time, so he followed Haozi to the street and ate some local food nearby.

Yellow noodles barbecue, plus a few thin-skinned buns, the two people who ate it were full of oil.

"Look! Look! This big Xinjiang is good, the people are good, the food is good, and everyone who goes out is Di Lieba, tsk! Haozi pouted, ripped off a bunch of meat, and had no image at all.

"With your virtue, don't talk about Reba, the dog can scare you away!"

After eating, I didn't forget to buy a few naan to take with me before leaving.

The two touched their stomachs and took the ticket, and got on the green train.

(Introducing Wada's words)

It was another twenty or thirty hours of turbulence, and it was already early in the evening of the second day when I arrived in Hotan, and I was not familiar with the place, so I could only find a small hotel overnight to deal with it.

Hotan Prefecture is one of the five regions of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, based in Hotan City. It is bordered by the Kunlun Mountains and the Tibet Autonomous Region in the south, the Taklamakan Desert and Aksu in the north, the Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture in the east, the Kashgar Prefecture in the west, and the Karakoram Mountains in the southwest and Kashmir, with a total area of 247,800 square kilometers.

It is a multi-ethnic area with the Uyghur as the main body, in addition to more than 20 other ethnic groups, such as Han, Hui, Kazakh, and Kirgiz.

Climatically it is a typical inland arid zone, located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, belonging to the arid desert climate, there are 36 large and small rivers in the territory, rich in mineral resources, famous for the abundance of Hetian jade, is the famous jade township, silk township, carpet capital and melon and fruit township.

After eating the next day, a bowl of hot mutton soup sour wontons went down, and people were in a lot of energy.

The innkeeper was an enthusiastic Hui man, in his early fifties, with a goatee. Hotels like his usually have a few cooperative taxis or long-distance drivers who woo each other to earn a small amount of money in kickbacks.

Chen Tao and Haozi introduced the long-distance bus from him, and then went to the remote town called Balkosa Sotei written in the address.

When they arrived in the town, the two were a little dumbfounded, this place is remote, but there are a lot of people, and it seems to be a scenic area.

According to the address given in the text message, the two turned out to be a parcel storage station.

This kind of storage station is occasionally set up in some scenic spots or stations for people to temporarily store their belongings.

"Hey, young lady, where is this cabinet?" Haozi looked disgusted and went to find the cabinet number 2485, and saw that the young lady at the bar looked good, and it was estimated that she was in her early twenties, and her two big eyes were bright, so she couldn't help but go up and talk.

"Please show the receipt!" The little girl was playing with her mobile phone, and when she saw Haozi coming to ask, she smiled politely, her big eyes flickered, clear and moving.

"Uh...... This ......" Haozi blushed rarely, scratched his head, and looked at Chen Tao.

The man didn't say he wanted a ticket!

Chen Tao had a big head and grinned awkwardly, revealing a smile that he thought was kind.

"I'm sorry, a friend asked me to help him get something, but the ticket didn't give me, only gave me a cabinet number."

The little girl frowned and glanced at Chen Tao up and down, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Chen Tao Chen?" ”

"Ah, it's me! How do you know my name? ”

Chen Tao was stunned, he didn't know this little girl, but the other party actually knew his name, which really puzzled him.

"Yo, I didn't see it, when did your kid hook up with someone else's little sister?" Haozi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Chen Tao with a strange look.

"Fuck off!" Chen Tao didn't bother to pay attention to this kid, and turned his head to ask the girl.

"I'm Chen Tao, what's wrong?"

"Someone left something for you before, you wait, I'll get it."

After saying that, the little girl turned out one from a row of keys, Chen Tao squinted his eyes and found that the number on the key was 2485.

It seems that the other party has been prepared!

The little girl beckoned to Chen Tao, and the two followed her and walked to the storage room in the back together.

In the rows of large shelves, the cabinet number 2485 was found.

"Here's the key!"

The little girl's skin was very white, and with a finger pick, she put the key in Chen Tao's hand.

Click......

There was a crisp sound in the cabinet, and Chen Tao opened the cabinet door, which turned out to be an envelope.

"A letter? What the hell, love letters? Haozi leaned her head over.

Chen Tao took out the envelope, it felt very hard, the thing was not big, and there seemed to be a card inside.

I tore open the edge of the seal and took it out to take a look, and I was dumbfounded.

It's actually a room card!

"Marba Bearded Hotel, hey, Chen Tao, you kid can do it, there is a way for the cow girl and the weaver girl to meet for thousands of miles, and the room is open!"

Chen Tao lazily talked nonsense with Haozi, and turned his head to ask the little girl.

"What does the person who put this envelope look like?"

The little girl shook her head, "I don't know, it was another person who picked it up, and I didn't come to replace it for a long time." ”

I couldn't help but be a little disappointed when I couldn't ask about the person's appearance, and I asked the little girl about the location of the Marb Bearded Hotel, and pulled Haozi out of the store.

Haozi was chatting with the little girl, and when he saw that Chen Tao was leaving, he was reluctant, and he chattered on the road, saying that Chen Tao was in conflict with him, and he was specially ruining his red dust relationship.

Finally found the Malbu Bearded Hotel, the two of them went up to the third floor and found room 308.

"That's it!"

"Why are you stunned, go in!" Haozi saw that Chen Tao was stunned at the door for a long time and didn't move, so he couldn't help but push him.

"If there is any ambush, you can't guard against it?"

"Don't worry, just go in, Hao Ye will escort you." Hiroko patted her arm.

I had to get on the train and I couldn't bring nails, so the first thing I did when I arrived in town was to buy two boxes of nails.

"It's not sharpened, but it's close enough!" Haozi motioned to Chen Tao to rest assured, just open the door.

Chen Tao took a deep breath, took out the room card and inserted it into the door lock, and heard a few sounds and a green light flashed.

The door opened.

Looking back at Haozi, the two looked at each other, each nodded, and Chen Tao used his hand hard to twist the doorknob.

The room was pitch black, no windows were opened, and no curtains were drawn.

Chen Tao stood at the door for a long time before inserting the room card into the electrical slot.

"Good...... It seems that there is no one? Haozi muttered, looked around, raised his feet and entered the door, and Chen Tao followed closely.

The room is the same as an ordinary hotel standard room, with two beds and a bathroom, and a large color TV on the table.

"It's a standard room, there is no big bed, it seems that people don't want to make an appointment with you!" Haozi walked around inside, and when he saw that there was no problem, he lay down on one of the beds with his feet straight away.

"You can't fucking be serious, when is it, we didn't come out to play!" Chen Tao looked serious, walked to the window and opened the curtains.

It was dark in the northwest, and the sky was still bright at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the sun did not set until ten o'clock.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the window, Chen Tao opened the window, breathed a breath of cool air from the northwest, and was about to say a few more words to Haozi, when the corner of his eyes inadvertently flicked, and he saw from the reflection of the window that the door behind him was closed without knowing when it was closed.

What shocked him even more was that there was one more person at the door at this time!
