Chapter 504: "Sanatorium"
Although Xia Qing was confident, Gao Chao was still a little worried.
He couldn't help asking, "Who is that person you are looking for, and he ...... Is he reliable? β
Xia Qing nodded and said: "Of course he is reliable, he is in the antique business in the capital, very powerful, but he is extremely low-key, few people have even heard of him, as far as I know, he is not a member of any organization, it can be said that he is completely a folk person, but this person is very mysterious, he seems to have been studying some metaphysical things, I don't know much about what it is." β
After listening to Xia Qing's words, the fat man couldn't help but say, "Metaphysics? Can this kind of person be reliable? Also, you don't know him very well, so why do you say he's reliable? β
Xia Qing said angrily: "Just by virtue of this person's character, he is my grandfather's best friend, and he ...... He...... He was very nice to me. β
For some reason, Xia Qing's face suddenly turned red when he said the end, but under this moonlight, it didn't look very obvious.
Gao Chao saw that Xia Qing was so serious, and he knew that Xia Qing must be completely sure to say this, and he still knew Xia Qing very well.
So Gao Chao immediately nodded and said: "Okay, then listen to you, let's go to Beijing and find your grandfather's friends, it's just ......" He only asked for the second time: "I just don't know who this person is?" β
Xia Qing suddenly looked very happy and said: "His surname is Hua, and everyone else calls him Hua Ye, and no one knows his real name." β
"Hua Ye?" Gao Chao was puzzled: "What a strange surname, is there anyone with the surname Hua?" β
Xia Qing rolled her eyes and asked rhetorically, "Is Mulan surnamed Hua?" β
The fat man touched his chin and said, "Wait...... I seem to have heard of this man. He hurriedly grabbed Xia Qing and said, "The flower master you are talking about, is it the flower master who has several big auction houses in the family?" β
Xia Qing squinted at the fat man. Nodding his head, he said, "It's that flower master." β
The fat man slapped his thigh. said: "Local tyrants." I grass, this person also has a number in the circle in Changsha, but I have never seen a living person, if I can go to him, how can I make friends with his old man, Sister Xia......" The fat man suddenly had a face that was not beaten, and even his name for Xia Qing suddenly changed, and then smiled: "Sister Xia." You just pull me a line, turn around and say a few more kind words in front of his old man, and in the future, I will eat on the boundary of Changsha, and I can also ask Hua Ye to come out and brag or something, you see ......"
Xia Qing covered her smile and said, "Okay, his old man ......" She suddenly giggled again, as if this thing was really funny, and continued: "When you see his old man, just tell him yourself." He's easy to get along with. β
The fat man smiled when he heard Xia Qing say this. But it's bad for him.
Just as everyone was talking, suddenly under the starry sky in the north, there was a whistle, which was short and high-pitched, and it sounded three times in a row, tearing apart the silence above the Gobi in an instant.
Everyone was so shocked that they looked to the north, Gao Chao reacted immediately, and suddenly became excited and said: "Quick, catch up, it's a train!" β
Sure enough, it is a train, and it is a very slow freight train, just because in this Gobi, all the freight trains are still the oldest steam locomotives, not to mention that this freight train carrying goods is simply too long, the distance from the front to the tail of the car, I am afraid that there will be a length of one kilometer, even if two heads are arranged, they are also like old men in the twilight, staggering forward on this Gobi.
Despite this, by the time everyone caught up with it, it was so tired that it was about to vomit blood.
But they were very lucky, and the fat man found a carriage that did not close the door, so they took out all the strength they could eat, and jumped into the carriage one by one, although it was very dangerous, but if compared with the danger in the ancient tomb, it was simply like walking on the ground.
Gao Chao had collapsed on the floor in the middle of the carriage, the door was open a gap, he kept gasping, from there he looked at the stars in the sky, gradually, his breathing began to calm down, and his heart seemed to be much calmer.
The fat man lay beside him, and they were tired.
Xia Qing sat with the little goddess, it was Xia Qing who took the initiative to sit next to her, they just leaned silently on the corner of the side, the moonlight sprinkled on their faces, it was like two delicate nightshades.
The fat man finally rolled over and got up, and although it was early in the morning, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
"Lao Gao, what kind of goods do you see in this carriage, how are they box by box, is it a little familiar?" The fat man turned on the flashlight and went deeper into the carriage.
Gao Chao also sat up from the ground, and before he could say anything, the fat man suddenly laughed.
"Lao Gao, what do you think I found? Grass, this can't be a dream, is it? As he spoke, the fat man ran back with two things in his hand.
Looking at it through the moonlight, Gao Chao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said, "It's really yours, can you find it?" β
It turned out that the fat man was holding two bottles of Yili dry beer, in such an environment, for Gao Chao and the fat man, it was much more intimate than seeing a pile of gold.
The fat man laughed: "Do you still need to the find this?" The whole carriage is full of Yili dry beer, the two of us are really lucky, come, dry! β
As he spoke, he bit down with his big teeth, and plucked the cap off the bottle, Gao Chao was not a problem, and the two of them opened the beer, as if they had forgotten everything that had happened before, even Xia Qing and the goddess who were in the same carriage.
The night sky, the bright moon, the starry sky, the occasional whistle, and the unique sound of the wheels crushing on the railroad tracks, all with a certain wonderful melody, like a lullaby on this Gobi, made the four of them gradually calm down and gradually fall asleep.
They need to rest so much, both mentally and physically, they need a period of adjustment, so this beer-laden carriage has become the perfect "sanatorium" for the four of them.
Along the way, the train never stopped, and it took three whole days to go. From the Gobi to the mountains, from the wasteland to the city, these three days made them gradually realize that they were about to return to the so-called civilized world.
But from the bottom of their hearts they had an indescribable feeling of being out of place, or of being out of place, or in short, of a sense of uneasiness, that perhaps they had long since become accustomed to the adventurous life, but that they could no longer adapt to the ease and comfort of the cityβno doubt they had changed again.
Three days later, in the early morning, they left the carriage because the train had finally reached its destination. (To be continued.) )
