"Take a break, eat something, and get on your way. After passing the Jade Gate, it won't be long before you can reach Korla. The leader said.

They really wanted to get themselves to Lop Nur, Zhu Beichen slowly opened his eyes, adapting to the faint light.

"Get that kid out and let him eat something, and don't starve to death."

"What should I do if he is not honest, now he is outside, and it is more troublesome."

"Warn him, let him continue to faint if he is not honest, now he should wake up."

Last night, Zhu Beichen's slight noise in the trunk did not hide from the leading man.

"Zhang Chu, go on." The driver threw the keys.

Zhang Chu, Zhang Chu, he searched hard for this name, and made sure that he must know this name.

The strong light from the outside hit the trunk, and the stimulating light pierced Zhu Beichen closed his eyes tightly, and after adapting to it for a while, the man in front of him spoke.

"I'll let you go and get something to eat. You'd better be honest and don't move, or you'll come with us to Korla hungry. ”

After a while, a blurred outline appeared on Zhu Beichen's retina, gradually becoming clearer, and his stiff and fierce facial features came into view.

He knew who this person was, his instructor during military training half a year ago: Zhang Chu.

When the three of them broke into the dormitory, he hid behind the lead man in order to notice his appearance.

This is a small inn on the side of the highway, and the sign of the store is the four big characters of "accommodation dining chair".

Zhu Beichen didn't call out the man's name, just nodded silently, and then Zhang Chu untied the rope tied to him.

The roads are sparsely populated, with the occasional vehicle passing by and kicking up dust.

He paid attention to the car driven by the next three people, the English logo of "Landrover", even if he was stupid, he understood the value of this car, it was a Land Rover off-road.

The owner of the inn is a woman wearing a red headscarf, and the first floor is not large, and the first floor is used as a reception hall and a restaurant, and there is only one waiter.

Zhu Beichen was escorted by Zhang Chu and reluctantly sat down at a table, and the other two sat down close to him.

The waitress wearing a blue turban walked up to the three of them and asked, "How many nuns, what are you going to do?" ”

Her accent is a little low, with an authentic Hui Chinese accent.

"Let's have four servings of lamb ramen." The lead man said.

"Who said I eat mutton ramen, I don't like mutton." Zhu Beichen glanced at the waiter out of the corner of his eye.

"Boy, don't think of any crooked ideas, give us honesty, so as not to suffer." The silent driver spoke.

"You can order whatever you want." The lead man said.

"Hehe, Xiao Nizi, bring my brother a bowl of pork noodle soup." Zhu Beichen said jokingly with a grin.

The little girl of the Hui nationality was wearing a blue placket, embroidered with colorful floral patterns on her chest and placket, frowning, and looking at Zhu Beichen with blinking eyes.

The atmosphere in the hotel suddenly dropped to freezing, and Zhang Chu looked at the counter, the proprietress had a deep face and faint anger.

He hurriedly said: "What nonsense are you talking about, this is a Muslim restaurant, you better know the rules." Little girl, I'm sorry, he doesn't know the rules here. ”

"Just 4 bowls of ramen, just add an extra portion of mutton each." The driver diverted the subject.

Zhu Beichen couldn't help but sneer, he didn't know that it was taboo to talk about eating pork in a halal restaurant, and he just wanted to block these people.

The waiter winked at Zhu Beichen again, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, swaying his hips and walking away.

"Hey, wait, waiter, where's the toilet?" Zhu Beichen stopped the girl.

Zhang Chu immediately stood up, pressed his shoulder, and kicked down hard.

"Hey, the one who wants to eat pork, we don't have a toilet here, you can just go out and solve it." The waiter looked too lazy to take care of it.

Zhu Beichen smiled in his heart, everything was understood.

"Hey, hey" was Ning Yun's mantra, and she deliberately raised the volume and accentuated these three words.

In front of the counter, the proprietress looked over intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes were moist and affectionate, how could he not understand who this middle-aged woman who still had charm was.

"I'll just go out to the bathroom, it's so remote here, where can I run." Zhu Beichen said.

"I'll go out with you, don't have any ideas." Zhang Chu said.

Zhu Beichen blocked the sight of Zhang Chu and the others with his back, gestured towards the counter, first shook his hand, and then pointed to the back.

July glanced at it and blinked her eyes to show that she understood.

He knew that July and Ning Yun were here, and they must have saved themselves, but he wanted to find out what happened, so he would continue to follow the three of them, and signaled July not to do it.

The two now have a high degree of tacit understanding, and a glance at each other can convey a lot of information.

The waiter played by Ning Yun brought four bowls of steaming ramen to the table!

Zhu Beichen and the others took out the chopsticks on the table and planned to enjoy them, but he noticed the small movements of the leading man.

He first leaned his neck forward, and a silver chain fell into the noodle soup first, this method was too careful and careful, for fear that someone would poison the food, which showed that this person was extremely alert.

After the meal, the driver took out a box of cigarettes and lit them on his own.

"Give me one." Zhu Beichen said.

The driver was stunned for a moment, then took out another cigarette case and threw one over.

Zhu Beichen took the cigarette and looked at it, there were unfamiliar English characters on it, and then took the lighter and lit it.

The strong nicotine smell choked his throat, and there was a foul smell between his mouth and nose.

"Ahem!" He coughed twice.

Zhu Beichen was quite suspicious and asked, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

The three of them looked at each other, the leading man nodded, and Zhang Chu said: "It's all here, we won't hide it from you, first go to Korla, and then enter Lop Nur." ”

Sure enough, the group wanted to go there and do something they wanted to do about the desolate salt crust that was almost a dead land?

The driver paid for the meal, bought some dry food and drinking water, and the four of them returned to the Land Rover.

"May I make a condition?" Zhu Beichen said.

"Yes, except for letting you go." Zhang Chu said that he even thought that Zhu Beichen had forgotten about himself as an instructor, and there was a difference between the appearance of a military uniform and the current black suit after all.

"I don't have to lie in the trunk, give me a seat in front of me, I won't run." Zhu Beichen said.

"Okay, you go to the back seat." The leader said.

The sound of the Land Rover's off-road engine sounded, and the hotel behind it gradually moved away from the four people.

July and Ning Yun slowly walked outside, looked at the Land Rover in the distance, and the two looked at each other.

"Call the driver, and we'll follow." July said.
