Xiao Qiye's grapes were washed for half an hour.

Hao Dong finally realized something, his clothes were already neatly dressed, but he didn't have the courage to go to the bathroom to urge Xiao Qi Ye to come out.

It was the first time Qi Jue had this kind of emotional experience, and Hao Dong, who had incomplete memories, was actually the same. Both of them were a little embarrassed and didn't know how to get along.

But no matter what, the two people's ideas are not in conflict in nature, and one is not in a hurry to escape another stalking situation.

Although I was a little shy, a little nervous, and a little overwhelmed, I didn't want to break up the gang, and these emotions became a burden with a hint of sweetness.

Qi Jue finally adjusted his mood and walked out with a bag of clean grapes that had been washed repeatedly. At that time, Hao Dong was already dressed neatly, with long sleeves and long pants, and there was no possibility of arousing people's charming associations at all.

Hami also has a lot to see, but the time they have been delayed here is not short, and if they stay longer, they are afraid that Qi Cheng will be able to catch up.

So I rested for the night, mainly to replenish a lot of cantaloupe and grapes, and some other fruits, and continued on the road the next day.

But of course, since he has already come, Qi Jue did not save a little gasoline to jump over the place where the car drove all the way and could pass along the road.

Muqam Cultural Square and Huiwangfu all went around in a circle, of course, the longest stay was the melon and fruit market.

However, there are too many fruits here, and it is the fruit season in July, so it is actually like a melon and fruit market. Their cars drove all the way and bought all the way, and before they knew it, they were out of Hami.

Once the environment where humanity gathers, the emptiness and roughness of the Northwest Desert come back to the face. Soon all that remained on both sides of the road was a vast expanse of the Gobi Desert, with the earthy yellow land spreading all the way to the horizon.

In order to catch up with the speed, Qi Jue temporarily got on the highway for a while, and the tattered little bread on the outside was not too eye-catching in the convoy.

Anyway, they were walking towards Xingxing Gorge at this time, which happened to be south, and by the way, Qi Jue took Hao Dong to take a look at the Devil's City.

Hao Dong has also heard of the Yadan landform, and the name of the Devil's City is even more mysterious because of the rendering in various novels. As soon as he heard that he could still see this, Hao Dong was faintly excited.

However, in fact, the only parts that are really open to visitors are the outermost ones. After all, the deeper this kind of place goes, the more complicated the internal terrain becomes, and the more likely it is to have accidents, and people will never be allowed to enter casually.

But even if it was only the peripheral part, it was enough for Hao Dong to be dumbfounded.

All you see along the way is the vast Gobi, and because there are many oasis cities, the concept of "desert" is not obvious. However, as far as the eye can see, it is the undulating desert that buries the mounds that have been eroded by wind and sand for many years.

The yellow sand pile is sturdy, and it doesn't sink too hard when you step on it, but you can feel the huge traction when the sand particles slide down the slope.

It's not hard to imagine what it would be like once the wind blows.

Nowadays, there are satellite positioning on the car, and there are still people lost in these places every year, and in the past thousands of years in history, I don't know how many westward travelers were buried by the yellow sand here.

It is said that Master Xuanzang was able to reach Tianzhu all the way from here to retrieve the true scriptures, which was indeed an astonishing feat.

Aside from these feelings, the tall mounds eroded by the wind and sand are indeed worth seeing.

The so-called magic of nature, those horses, cattle and sheep and even pigs, may not feel like this in the near distance, but if you run a little farther and look back, you will find that it is really vivid and vivid.

It's not just about the shape, it's even about the flexibility of the subtle look.

Hao Dong looked at it and felt a little chill in his heart:

If you break in, you can't get out in the middle of the night, and you may see a "person" in the middle of the wind, sand and dust that day, and the "person" who shouts for help just looks at you coldly, isn't it the same as a horror novel!

The area of the Devil's City is not small, but the places that can be opened to tourists are limited, and it will not take long for the car to bypass this area, and this time it is going straight all the way to the east to Xingxing Gorge to go out of the territory.

Hao Dong was still immersed in the scene he had just seen, his mobile phone Qi Jue had already given it to him, and countless photos had been taken at this time, and he was looking through them one by one.

As a result, after watching it for a while, he suddenly patted the back of Qi Jue's chair and leaned over, and put his mobile phone in front: "Is there a living person on this?" ”

Their mobile phones are specially equipped, and the accuracy of the cameras is close to that of professional cameras, and the focal length is also long, so that they can shoot from a distance of one mile.

The photo he showed Qi Jue was taken casually, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time, as if someone was waving at them on the top of a mound two or three hundred meters away from them.

This section of the road is straight and straight without turns, and there are not many people, Qi Jue drove very relaxed, so he glanced at it.

At this glance, his brows furrowed: "Zoom in and take a look." ”

Hao Dong put the photo on the maximum, looked at it carefully, and was stunned: "Is it Mr. Luo?" ”

Mr. Luo's full name is Luo Qinghe, that is, a capable person. He made a mess for Hao Dong and them before, and when he left, he secretly left a simple business card for them in the car, probably meaning that he was willing to make friends with them.

Hao Dong: The resolution of their mobile phone is very high, although the distance is far away and the figure is very blurry, but the general outline can still be seen clearly. If you know someone, it's not difficult to identify.

When Hao Dong said this, Qi Jue's brows furrowed even more, and he took Hao Dong's mobile phone and carefully identified it for a while, then nodded reluctantly: "It should be him." ”

I don't know what this person thinks, how can he follow them as if he is following them?

Hao Dong didn't think much about it, he intuitively felt that this person should have nothing to do with Qi Cheng, and naturally he wouldn't feel too nervous.

It's just that he made a bit of a lot of trouble before, and he was a little uncomfortable thinking that this person was still near them, and he didn't know when he would appear.

But no matter how worried they are, this person seems to have no way to avoid them, so they can only go with the flow.

If you don't stop along the way, this section of the road will still drive very quickly. Gradually, the desolate scenery on both sides of the road has changed, and the number of people and cars has gradually increased, which is getting closer and closer to Xingxing Gorge.

Xingxing Gorge is actually a checkpoint pass, guarding the gate to the Western Regions. There used to be a heroic revolutionary story here, and there is still a stone monument of the "Soul of the West Road Army" standing on the top of a nearby hill, silently telling the hardships of the year.

Xingxingxia Town has developed rapidly in the past ten years, and there are a large number of new buildings in the town, but there are also many buildings from ancient times to the present.

From the toll station here is the boundary of Gansu, Hao Dong stood on the side of the road and suddenly felt emotional, as if he had walked through this land with his feet.

The contrast between opulence and desolation is so stark that it is impossible not to fail to impress the white-walled buildings nestled in the Gobi Oasis.

As if he could feel the reluctance in Hao Dong's heart, Qi Jue came over and hugged his shoulder: "Let's come back when we have the opportunity in the future." ”

He actually felt the shock himself.

In the past, he had always come here by plane, but this was actually the first time he had driven such a section by himself.

It is definitely a completely different feeling from flying in the sky, the Gobi Desert, everywhere is setting off the insignificance of human beings, but it is also everywhere cleansing the gods and souls of people running in this vast world.

The so-called baptism is probably just that, and the sense of natural presence here is too strong to be in awe.

In order to feel this way, the two of them deliberately ate their last meal on this land in Xingxing Gorge.

Mutton soup and mutton pilaf, and a large plate of churned dough.

The first two items were ordered by Hao Dong, and the last one was recommended by the store owner.

Probably this is the junction of the two provinces, and the food habits of Gansu are also mixed here. This kind of thing is not a local way to eat, but has been passed down from Gansu.

The name churn may seem strange to outsiders, but it is actually a pasta dish that is close to a mixed batter.

Stirring the dough, as the name suggests, the focus must be on the word "stirring".

Mix cornmeal, sorghum flour, millet and other miscellaneous noodles together, make a large pot of hot water, put the batter into it, and stir slowly until it gradually thickens. When the viscosity reaches a certain level, the dough is ready.

It's actually a bit like flour passing water to form gluten.

The shopkeeper will be sure to recommend it to them, and it is indeed because his dough is very authentic, with no less than 100 circles of stirring, and the taste is quite chewy.

Although the process of mixing dough is relatively simple, it requires hard work to do. And there are many ways to eat, according to different taste needs, you can match different soups.

Hao Dong and the others had already asked for mutton pilaf and mutton soup, and they chose vegetarian soup for this dough soup.

Although this place is rich in melons and fruits, the types of vegetables are relatively simple, and Hao Dong didn't expect how many ingredients could be in this vegetarian soup. As a result, when the boss brought it out to take a look, it really surprised him.

Celery, coriander, tomatoes, leeks, and even a little green leaf water spinach, a big bowl full of sesame oil and red oil, spicy seeds, sprinkled with a layer of white garlic, and vinegar, just smelling the smell makes people's stomachs gurgle involuntarily.

The dough inside has not been broken yet, Hao Dong himself took chopsticks to pinch it a little bit, and he could feel the strength of the dough rebounding back in his hand, and it was really very tough.

When you take a bite to stir the dough, the thick spicy flavor is mixed with the umami flavor of the dashi stock and the crisp and sweet texture of various vegetables, and it immediately makes your mouth hot.

Such a refreshing soup, combined with the strong texture of the dough itself, really made people can't stop eating a bite, and soon even swallowed the soup and water.

It's a rare and enjoyable gobble of the gobble feeling.

Hao Dong quickly made a decision, pack the pilaf and mutton soup, and bring one each of the meat and vegetable syrup!

Qi Jue didn't have any objection to this at all, and he also thought that this kind of pasta was really good. But his only worry is that if he shouts too much and can't finish eating, if this thing is packed for a while, will it be mushy?

It's just that when the new wave comes up, he finds himself worried in vain.

The two kinds of meat and vegetables are okay, that bowl of pulp water stirs the dough, the slurry water brews for enough time, and the taste is not authentic. The sour, spicy, fragrant and refreshing taste is simply an appetizer.

Obviously, such a large bowl of gnocchi was poured down with the soup, but it didn't feel like it was going to hold it right away, and it was even possible to eat some more.

However, although they felt that their appetite could still deal with another bowl, the two of them still didn't dare to eat more. That bowl is not small, one is as wide as their face, two full bowls, and it is estimated that it will rise when you look back.

In the end, I packed it up and brought the rest of the dough to the car.
