Chapter 3 Desert Style

With camels, we naturally can't take a car to the suburbs of Shanshan County, so we have to let the camels carry the equipment on their backs, and lead them to walk on the street, but it also has a different style, but the weather here in Xinjiang is too bad, and it is a hot summer, the temperature is as high as more than 40 degrees, and everyone is sweating after walking on the street for a few minutes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When we arrived in the southern suburbs, it was already noon, and after we had eaten at a small shop, we set off towards the desert. When you come to the only stone road leading to the desert, you can see that 108,000 miles away are all golden, and occasionally there are a few poplar trees and cacti, which embellish the yellow sand of these four wildernesses with a few scenery, and it does not look so monotonous.

Liu Feiyu was like a lark along the way, chirping to introduce us to the customs of the desert, she looked at the curved but endless stone road in front of her, and smiled at us: "This road leads directly to the hinterland of the desert, about more than 100 kilometers, and there are many villages along the way, but at the end of the road, there are no people in it, and it is much more desolate than in front of us." ”

We have carefully studied before we came, from Shanshan to the ancient city of Loulan, there are more than 300 kilometers apart, that is to say, this stone road is only one-third of the whole journey, after this stone road, we have to walk through the sand.

It was the first time I went to the desert, looking at the boundless sea of sand, I was a little excited, looking at the huge cactus with a height of two stories along the way, I felt extremely novel, in other places, cacti are in the form of potted plants in people's lives, no matter how good they grow, they are only one person high, compared with the giant tree in front of me, it is really a world of difference.

Liu Feiyu told us that when there is a shortage of water in the desert, these cacti are a life-saving spring, and because of this, in the local area, the cactus symbolizes the tree of life and has a very high status, and some tourists come here, and the locals are not allowed to mess with the cactus or cactus.

After walking for a while, we only felt that our whole body was soaked with sweat, and under the fierce rays of the sun, our whole body was a little weak, and we really wanted to set up a tent and rest for a while. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the cool breeze simply blew into my heart through the pores, which was indescribably refreshing.

However, the wind also flew all over the sky, making it impossible to open their eyes at all, and even inhaling a lot of sand particles in their breathing. Seeing this, we took out the scarf and tied it on our faces, only exposed a pair of eyes, and looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh.

After putting on the veil, it was really very different, let you fly all over the yellow sand, but it could not help us, facing the blowing wind, people's fatigue was immediately greatly reduced, we led the docile camel, quickened the pace, and walked deeper into the desert.

Liu Feiyu was right, the more you walked in, the more sparsely populated it became, and you could still see some villages before, but now you can only see a few scattered houses, and you have the feeling of stepping into a no-man's land. I sighed in my heart, the desert environment is so bad, people live here, it's miserable, but I don't know how they persevere.

When I looked up, there was a house in front of me, and there was a stall in front of the door with fruits such as cantaloupe, grapes, and watermelons. The stall owner, an authentic Uyghur man, saw us approaching and shouted loudly: "Look, look, fresh fruit, just shipped from the county seat, the most thirst-quenching thing." ”

The stall owner's Mandarin is really not very good, but fortunately we can still understand it, looking at those tempting fresh fruits, we only feel dry mouths, and we really want to pick one up and try it. Our expressions were all seen by Liu Feiyu, and he smiled and asked the stall owner, "How do you sell these fruits?" I'm a regular visitor in the desert, so don't you ask us for a price. ”

The stall owner smiled all over his face, and immediately shook his head and said: "My An'an Er sells things the most fairly, people on this road, who doesn't know, girl, you are so beautiful, I An An'er will not deceive you." ”

After negotiating the price, Liu Feiyu bought three big watermelons, looked at the house next to him, Liu Feiyu blinked his beautiful big eyes, and said to An An'er: "This weather is too hot, An An'er, can you let us go into your house to rest for a while, and eat these watermelons by the way." ”

An An'er's face changed suddenly, he glanced at his house, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "You guys are late, my house has been chartered by a few guests, they have spent a lot of money, and they have already told me that no one can be allowed in, so I can't agree to your request, beautiful girl." ”

Liu Feiyu's eyes purred, and he said, "An An'er, if you let us sit in for a while, I will buy all your fruits, what do you think?" ”

Biaozi also said: "What kind of guest, so domineering, Brother An'er, you tell me, what bullshit price he gave you, it's a big deal, Biao Ye, I will double it for him, you tell him to fuck off immediately, damn it." ”

Before An An'er could answer, a cold voice came from inside the house: "I'm afraid you won't be able to pay the price I gave, so I know you and get out of here, otherwise I'm not polite to you." ”

Seeing that the man was talking so unpleasantly, Biaozi immediately became angry and said loudly: "What kind of thing is the hidden head and tail, it's a fucking great thing to be rich, Master Biao, I have to come in today, I see what you can do." ”

After the mark was finished and he was about to go in, An An'er immediately stopped in front of him as if a catastrophe was coming, and pleaded with a bitter face: "Guests from afar, don't you embarrass me, it's not easy for me to do business, not to mention that they arrived first, and they said in advance, I can't break the rules, this, please be accommodating." ”

The mark was angry, how could he be sent away by An An'er with a few words, and just about to rush in, Tan Jia shouted: "Sun Dabiao, forget it, since people don't welcome us, it's a big deal to leave, and we can't fight with them, so as not to surrender our identity." ”

I also followed a few words of persuasion, and the mark was unwilling to fold back, but I felt that my face was a little unbearable, and I scolded loudly while walking: "Damn, what quality, I'm bah!" Isn't the rich second generation great, wait for Master Biao and I have money, so I have to use gold bricks to smash you bastards. ”

Despite the loud shouting and scolding, the people in the house did not react at all, probably knowing that we were leaving, or maybe they didn't want to talk to us anymore.

A few of us left the stall, and under a poplar tree, we set up a simple awning with canvas and cut the watermelons we had just bought. We couldn't help it for a long time, but now looking at the bright red melon pulp, we couldn't stop drooling, and we didn't say a polite word at all, and a few of us grabbed a few of the best watermelons and began to eat them.

While eating watermelon, Biaozi said vaguely: "The people in that room just now were so angry, seeing that he was so fearless, he must have brought a group of people with him, did they also come to explore?" ”

Sankra nodded and said, "It's very likely, is it the same as our goal, to go to the ancient country of Loulan?" ”

The rest of the scientific research team didn't speak, and they probably thought about it deeply, but Liu Feiyu said: "What's so strange about this, the desert area has always been a place that adventure lovers yearn for, and there is an endless stream of people who come here every year to explore and hunt for treasures, and even foreign explorers are desperately rushing here, and it is normal for us to meet." ”

Li Yishan is a foreign explorer, hearing Liu Feiyu say this, he immediately nodded and said: "Xiao Yu is right, the desert is known as the thirty-six ancient countries, and the Silk Road also passes through here, it has always been the preferred target of foreign explorers, and it is reasonable that we can meet the expedition team." ”

Liu Feiyu saw that everyone was worried, and said with a smile: "Hehe, but there are a lot of people who died here, maybe that group of people just now will never return, and we can't be sulking for a group of dead people." ”

Looking at the innocent appearance of the little girl, but saying such a chilly word, the people in the scientific research team were slightly surprised for a moment, and the standard naturally saw the strangeness of everyone, and turned back to Liu Feiyu and said: "At a young age, what nonsense, let's go on an expedition, don't touch our brows, don't say this kind of thing in the future, you know?" ”

Liu Feiyu disagreed, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with me, you will be fine, I am a living map of the desert." ”

After resting for a while, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, we embarked on the journey again, heading towards the depths of the desert, at this time the sun was the most violent, we walked for a short time, we felt unbearable, one by one took off the sun hat as a fan, and fanned ourselves hard.

When Liu Feiyu saw us like this, he couldn't help but giggle and said, "If you're really tired, just ride a camel." Camels are our best friends when traveling in the desert, not only can they sense the arrival of wind and sand at critical moments, but also find water for everyone, which is why we have to treat them well and generally do not ride them until we have to. ”

Originally, I wanted to ride a camel, but when I heard Liu Feiyu say this, I felt a little embarrassed, besides, a little girl didn't say that she was tired, and those of us who had undergone strict training couldn't stand it first, wasn't that underestimated? But I think it's very strange, since Liu Feiyu often haunts Xinjiang and repeatedly goes into the desert to explore, it stands to reason that her skin should be similar to that of the locals, it is that kind of waxy yellow, how can she maintain it so white, is the little girl lying to us?
