We drove into the night for almost an hour......

The driver said: "The sight is not good at night, I can't go anymore, it's time to find a leeward place to camp." ”

Atsuko said disappreciatively: "There is sand everywhere, just find a place." ”

The drama said: "I have read the information, in recent years, the wolf problem in Badain Jilin has been very serious, we must at least find a sand dune, in case of danger, we will not be too passive." ”

Ali next to me exclaimed, "There are wolves here? ”

Xizi smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, even if there is, it's not so easy to encounter, not to mention that your brother Dunzi is here, he is much more than a wolf." ”

Atsuko answered: "I don't object to this, isn't it a wolf!" ”

I didn't speak, I raised my hand and pressed the window, and a gust of wind and sand rushed in.

It's autumn, and the weather in the desert is pleasant during the day, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, and at night it is almost close to freezing, and at some point there is a strong wind, and the situation is not optimistic.

Just then, the car stopped.

I asked the actor, "What's wrong?" ”

The actor stretched out his head and looked ahead...... After a few seconds, he said, "What do you really want to do, there's a sand dune in front of you, it's quite high!" With that, he opened the car door and jumped in.

Atsuko and I grabbed our searchlights and got out of the car.

As soon as my feet hit the ground, I couldn't help but shiver.

The temperature outside the car was even colder than I expected, so I wrapped myself in my clothes and walked to the front of the car with my searchlight, and I was surprised to find that there was an extremely high sand dune in front of me. There are a lot of sand dunes in Badain Jarin, but we have never encountered such a high one along the way!

The drama said to me, "How is this place?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "It's not suitable for spending the night outside, it looks like I'll have to sleep in the car tonight." ”

Xizi said: "You and Ali are sleeping in the car, and Atsuko and I set up tents under this sand dune, anyway, there are sleeping bags, and we can't freeze." ”

I smiled and said, "Damn! ”

Atsuko didn't answer and strode forward......

I asked, "Why are you going?" ”

Atsuko said: "Based on my years of exploration experience, there must be something behind this sand dune. ”

I said, "Pull it, there's only sand here." ”

Atsuko said, "You smoke a cigarette, and I'll go back." ”

The drama said: "Let him go, it's good to check the surroundings." ”

I nodded, and pulled out the cigarette.

The dunes seem to have existed here for a long time, and the ground is very hard, so Atsuko doesn't have a hard time walking. It took him about two minutes to reach the top, and he immediately looked around with a searchlight......

After all, it was in the wild, and we didn't shout.

After another minute or two, Atsuko ran down quickly.

I stepped forward and asked, "What do you see, a castle?" ”

Atsuko gasped and said, "Damn, you're really right, the castle doesn't have it, but Lao Tzu has discovered the New World." ”

I said angrily: "Why don't you sell it." ”

Atsuko said mysteriously: "I saw a beam of light, and judging from experience, it may be a family." ”

I was speechless.

The drama said: ", how can there be people in this place? ”

Atsuko said: "You should trust my eyesight, this kind of thing Lao Tzu will not talk nonsense, that person is not far away, you can see it by bypassing this sand dune." ”

I looked at the actor and thought it was incredible.

Atsuko is not very serious, but judging by his tone, this guy should not be fooling around.

At this point, we must go and see.

Everyone jumped in the car, the car started, and the detour began......

Five minutes later, I actually saw a light behind the dunes, flickering, like a candle? The distance is not too far, only two or three hundred meters.

Atsuko said arrogantly: "What's the matter, brother's eyesight is good!" ”

The drama said: "True Nyima Evil Gate." ”

Ali said steadily: "Although this is not a no-man's land, it is also far away from the outside world, and this light is really not right." ”

I looked at Ali and said, "You don't seem to be scared at all?" ”

Ali said: "I'm a little scared, but it's not so strong, how to say that I have seen the world in my little sister, even if it is a haunted house, I dare to break in." ”

I said, "You should be friends with my fiancée, she's a famous explorer." ”

Ali pouted and said, "What's wrong with the explorer, isn't it amazing?" ”

I'm not talking!

As we got closer and closer to the light, I realized that it was really a family. A square mud house, not too big, but not small, with a lantern hanging in front of the door, and red candles lit inside.

Atsuko exclaimed: "Damn, it won't be a tavern!" ”

The drama said: "It's not good to get the Dragon Gate Inn." ”

As he spoke, the car was already driving closer.

Atsuko whispered, "Comrades, I think I should get the gun." ”

The actor immediately jumped out of the car, and after a short time, he took the cloth bag containing the gun. He took out a few daggers and gave one to each of us, saying, "The gun is still not in place, put the dagger in place." ”

We nodded and got out of the car.

I shone the door with a searchlight, and I was surprised to find that there was a plaque above the door, which was carved with four big characters - Shamin Inn.

I was stunned, this tavern is really a tavern.

Atsuko shook his head and strode forward, about to speak......

Suddenly, the door of the inn was pushed open, and a black man about thirty years old came out.

This man was dressed in Mongolian clothes, carrying a flashlight, shining on us at a very fast speed, and said with a smile: "Travel, come in and rest!" ”

A few of us were almost stunned.

Atsuko was very vigilant, stepped forward, and said, "Friend, you are a family...... Shop? ”

The black man smiled and said: "Don't worry about the bosses, my store has been open for many years, it is specially prepared for tourists, and the price is clearly marked, not a black store." ”

Atsuko said, "Open a shop in this place? ”

The black man was stunned, and then used a flashlight to the side.

We followed his flashlight and found an awning next to the inn with an old pickup truck covered in dust.

I heard the black man say: "My family has been opening a shop here for generations, and I didn't want to do it, but my mother didn't want to leave." ”

Atsuko said, "Do you have any customers in your store?" ”

The black man said: "There are fewer tourists this season, not to mention that they all go out at night, but tonight it is a coincidence, there is really a customer in the store." ”

Atsuko said, "It's kind of interesting. ”

I let my guard down a little, because I listened to the shopkeeper speak Mandarin and saw the pickup truck, which explained that he was not isolated from the outside world, but opened a shop here, but also said in the past.

The black man said again: "The wind and sand are strong, let's go into the house." ”

Xizi and Atsuko glanced at each other and followed the black man into the house.

After more than ten seconds, Atsuko probe came out and said to Ali and me, "Safety." ”

I patted Ali on the shoulder and led her into the inn.

The facilities in the house were rudimentary, with an oil lamp hanging from each of the four walls. The outside is the hall, and the inside is the hall. There are only six tables in the hall, except for a bar-like area. These tables look to be some years old, and they have some grease left on them that can't be erased.

In the corner closest to us, sat a man with his back to us, a somewhat thin man, wearing a worn-out cap, a badly faded camouflage uniform, and a large backpack beside him.

Atsuko put her ear to me and said, "It's not right. ”

I asked softly, "What did you find?" ”

Atsuko said, "There shouldn't be anything wrong with the owner of this shop, but there is something strange about that person?" How can a person, without a car, be here at night? ”

I frowned, this is indeed a problem.

At this moment, the curtain of the back room was lifted, and an old lady came out.

When I saw this old lady, I couldn't help but be shocked!
