Chapter 523: Ancient Legends
"Don't take a break? Starting tomorrow, the rest of the year will not be easy," Poplar said with a shrug. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Smiling, Song Yi leaned against the door frame and watched Poplar sort out his belongings and said, "It's because of the difficult journey in the next period of time that I'm a little excited and can't sleep."
Portable single tent, sleeping bag, compass, matches, lighters, hydration bags, daggers, machetes, bows and crossbows, first aid kits, satellite phones for distress......
Song Yiyi had a very comprehensive set of things to prepare, and he took them out and checked them like Poplar, and then put them away in different categories, making a backpack that was more than half a person high.
When it's done, clap your hands and say, "Okay, let's go out for a walk and have a drink."
Closing the door and going out, the two boring and idle guys began to wander aimlessly in Du Ci Town, both of them were men, not to mention how awkward.
Although Duci Town is only a border town, because it is close to the Sahara and is known as the gateway to the Sahara, there are many people who come to travel and explore, and many tourism projects have been developed here.
A variety of outdoor equipment stores, food and snacks from all over the world, local specialties, etc., can always bring you a little surprise inadvertently.
The town was not big, and the two boring fellows had been walking around for about an hour, and now one of them was wearing a cowboy hat bought from a stall on his head, and walking aimlessly with a cigarette in his mouth and a leisurely pocket position.
"There's a bar over there, let's go, go over and have a drink, and see if we can catch a girl and bring it back to the hotel," Song Yiyi's eyes lit up and he said to the corner of the street in front of him.
The second half of your sentence is the point, right?
Poplar was speechless, this guy had fallen into a magic barrier because of a woman.
At night, bars are bustling, and bars around the world are often the same, and there are many places where contradictions occur frequently, and more than 90% of the rights and wrongs that happen in bars are because of women.
When Poplar and Song set foot together in this bar, which is written in the local language and don't know what the name is, it is also a scene of 'ghosts crying and howling'.
Heavy metal music is harsh, and men and women of all colors writhe wildly on the dance floor.
"You are free, if you can't find me, go back to the hotel by yourself, hehe" Entering the door of the bar, Song Yiyi threw a stack of rice yuan to Baiyang with a smile and disappeared after a few strokes into the crowd.
When it comes to this kind of occasion, the goods are like a fish in water......
patted the rice yuan in his hand, afraid that it would not be less than five thousand, Poplar shrugged his shoulders and put it away, and walked to an empty table.
In most African countries, the rice dollar is a hard currency, which is better than the banknotes issued by the country, but there is no way, the economy is chaotic here, and it is not clear when the currency issued by the country will become waste paper.
As soon as he sat down, a messenger dressed in the unique costume of this place came to ask Poplar what he wanted, speaking in English, this Poplar understood, ordered a stout beer and a fruit bowl, and after paying a tip of a hundred dollars, the little brother sent it to Poplar in a minute.
The fruit bowl is made up of more than 10 kinds of fruits, in addition to the common watermelon, grapes, dragon fruit, and several kinds of tropical fruits that poplars don't know at all.
There was a sip of wine, and Poplar looked around the bar.
The bar hall and card seats are four or five hundred square meters in a mess, and there are two or three hundred people here to consume and entertain at this time.
"According to the normal routine, there should be a beautiful girl at this time, and then a large group of people will be jealous, and finally fight all kinds of messy and missing arms and legs......"
Poplar muttered in his heart, there were a lot of beautiful girls in the bar, but there was no bloody incident.
Burst......
Poplar almost didn't spray a sip of beer, and he saw that Song Yiyi's guy actually targeted a girl so quickly.
His original purpose was to find a girl, which is true, but the target was a black girl!
Horse eggs, this taste is also too unique.
glanced at it, it seemed that Song Yiyi and the black girl had a good chat, and he had a posture of coming and going, shaking his head, and Bai Yang's eyes looked away.
At a glance, some of the people in the bar are simply here to experience the desert style, some are local natives, some want to go on an adventure, but some ghosts know what they do......
All kinds of skin tones and various languages are intertwined, and the demons are dancing.
In a booth dozens of meters away on the right hand side of Poplar, more than a dozen Oriental faces were all kinds of lively, looking at the people around them muttering from time to time, looking excited and happy.
More than ten meters away on the left-hand side, more than a dozen black, white and yellow people of different skin colors muttered quietly, not knowing what they were discussing.
All kinds of boredom, when I saw Song Yiyi leaving the bar with the black beauty in his arms, Poplar also got up and paid to leave, he was really not used to this kind of smoky atmosphere.
Walking slowly through the exotic streets, breathing in the fresh night air, Poplar felt alive again.
With his nose twitching and his eyes lit up, Poplar followed a unique scent to a small street shop that was not closed, and the sanitary conditions were not bad, and Poplar found a place to sit down.
A chubby middle-aged man came to Bai Yang's side and first said something in a language he didn't understand, and when he saw that Bai Yang couldn't understand, he asked in English: "Hello this guest, what do you need?" ”
Poplar pointed to a shelf not far away, on which there were some foods similar to yakiniku but with a unique aroma and said, "That, bring me two, thank you"
"You really have an eye, this is our local unique cuisine, you can't eat it anywhere else in the world" The middle-aged man was very talkative, and smiled as he fetched something for the poplar.
Things came up, Poplar looked at it, this is baked, the surface is golden, sprinkled with sesame seeds, the rest can't see anything famous, but the fragrance is really unique.
When I took a bite, it was fragrant and crispy, and that unique texture and taste spread out in my mouth, and it was really delicious.
Poplar clicked a few times to solve one, looked up at the middle-aged man who was looking at him with a smile on his face, gave him a thumbs up and said, "It's delicious, I like it very much, all the rest, pack it for me I need to take it away!" ”
The fat middle-aged man should be the boss, and there are almost no customers in the store at this time except for Baiyang, so he is looking at him, and he is also a teacher, and he was very happy to see that Baiyang likes the food he makes, but when he heard Baiyang say that he wanted to take the rest away, his expression froze.
Young man, you tease me, I have thousands of such cakes in my store, and that's not how you buy souvenirs.
"Young man from the East, are you sure?" The boss confirmed and asked.
Poplar picked up the second cake and nodded, "Yes"
If you have money and don't make money, the boss is stupid, so he went to pack the remaining cakes for Poplar with a smile, and said in a chatty tone: "It's so happy that you can like my craft, I think these delicious XX cakes will definitely satisfy your friends."
The name of the cake is in the local language here, and Poplar didn't understand it, but after careful inquiry, it was translated as the meaning of the grace of the gods.
Speaking of this, the fat middle-aged man opened his chatterbox, and said while packing the poplars: "Speaking of this 'grace of the gods', there is a legend that has been passed down for a long time."
"It is said that a long, long time ago, when this place was still an oasis, there was an expedition of hundreds of people from here into the desert, saying that in the depths of the desert buried an ancient country in history, where there were countless treasures, and their purpose was to obtain those riches"
"However, the desert is boundless, they have not found the so-called ancient country for a month, the food and water they carry are almost exhausted, and the greed for wealth has not stopped them from moving forward, and they still keep going."
"Then came their nightmare, when they encountered wolves in the desert, and most of them fled for their lives, but they accidentally broke into an ancient city."
"I don't know how many years that city has existed, and almost all the buildings have collapsed and weathered, but in that ruined city, there are a lot of gold and silver treasures, shining brightly in the sun."
"Seeing the scene in front of them, the remaining expedition members affirmed that they had come to an ancient country where legends were buried"
"Because there was a lot of treasure, they didn't kill each other, but they discussed it and worked together to take away some of the treasure."
"But when they left the city with their wealth, something terrible happened, they had just left the city limits, and when they turned around, they suddenly found that the city behind them was gone, as if it had never existed at all, and no matter how they looked, they could no longer find it."
"They chose to leave with a sense of reverence for the mysterious kingdom, but then, on the way out with their wealth, one by one they died one after another inexplicably, some say they saw the devil asking for their lives, others say they saw the ancient army chasing them because they took the treasure with them"
"In the end, almost all the people who set foot in that city died, and in the end there was only one person named Du Ci left."
"Alone in the desert sun, without water or food, with fear in his heart, he has despaired"
"Just as he was waiting to die, a god appeared to him, gave him a piece of bread and disappeared, and after eating that piece of bread, Du Ci was full of strength, and walked out of the desert with a part of the treasure, which also brought out this legend, and finally he used those treasures to establish the town of Du Ci here, named after himself"
"To commemorate his encounter in the desert, he invented this cake and named it the Grace of the Gods, which has been passed down to the present day ......"
The chubby boss is obviously a chatter, and he said a lot of words, giving the legend of the origin of Poplar Anli Duci Town.
The truth is that he has told countless tourists who have come here that he does not believe in the so-called ancient city with endless treasures, but only sells his own products.
Look, how tall my family's cakes are, and they can be related to the gods, why don't you buy some of them?
It can only be said that it is a routine.
Poplar listened to it, and he was stupid if he believed it, even if there really was such a place, I am afraid that it would have been dug into the ground and emptied.
After eating the last bit of cake, the boss had already packed it, and Poplar directly threw all the cakes into the space bag, hypnotizing the boss to forget the picture of putting away the cake and paying to leave.
In the end, the boss only remembers that someone bought all the cakes, and he doesn't remember who bought them and how they took them......
