The scale of the gas station is not large, and the convenience store sells not much of a fancy thing. In addition to mineral water, the drinks are all locally produced, and when I look at the past, they are all brands that Hao Dong does not recognize.

This situation is similar in any place where the flow of people is not very large, here is a place in Dunhuang, there are a lot of tourists every year, it is estimated that even if no one has heard of the brand in the local area, the sales should be good.

However, generally speaking, some big brands of drinks may still be sold, such as all kinds of cola. But if it's true or not, you can only rely on your luck.

Hao Dong turned around, but finally didn't dare to take the weird coke wrapped in paper red on the shelf, and took a bottle of apricot peel water.

Apricot peel water is a specialty here, taking the famous local specialty Dunhuang Li Guang apricot as raw material, almond and apricot flesh can be used to make many different foods, and apricot peel will not be wasted, can be made into a drink.

Apricots can be made into wine, and the skin of the fruit is made into a drink with a small amount of apricot flesh, which is also very nutritious. And the taste is sweet and sour, so it's the best time to drink it in summer.

Hao Dong had only heard of it before and had never seen it, but when he saw it this time, he took a bottle and tasted it first.

The little girl on the counter was very enthusiastic, she refueled Qi Jue's car outside, came over to settle the bill for Hao Dong, took the bottle in his hand and directly replaced it with the ice in the freezer on the side: "Drink this to quench your thirst." ”

Although it was chilled, the price was the same as it was not more expensive, and Hao Dong didn't care, he paid the bill and tasted it first. The taste is slightly sweet, the mouth is a little sour, and the coolness after being chilled slid down to the stomach with the sourness, but it is indeed quite a heat off.

This apricot peel water is made of washed apricot peel and water and boiled until it is almost a sauce, and then the soup is filtered out and rock sugar is added.

The apricot peel water sold here tastes very authentic, with a strong fruity aroma, and there is even a little fiber impurity in the water, but it is completely authentic apricot peel.

Hao Dong's tongue is also a chef-level level, and he knew that this thing was real enough when he tasted it, so he immediately forgot the original intention of coming to buy a drink before, and directly hugged more than 20 bottles and returned to the car.

Qi Jue looks funny, but this thing also has an expiration date, and probably because this is a really fresh product, the shelf life is very short. In the end, he didn't dare to instigate Hao Dong to buy more tun, and took the more than 20 bottles of a large bag of apricot peel water on the road again.

As a very famous tourist destination, Dunhuang has a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists who come here every year.

Dunhuang City is also very well developed, many buildings are very trendy and beautiful, and it is not desolate because it is located on the high slope of loess.

However, walking down the street, dust and sand are inevitable. Especially when they came here today, they happened to hit the wind, and the yellow dust on the ground could be seen being swept into a microscopic tornado by the wind.

Hao Dong rummaged through the material bag in the rear compartment for a while, turned out two large gauze scarves, wrapped his mouth, nose and neck around himself and Qi Jue, and then got off the car.

This is still a gift from Ahmat's father before, and at that time, Hao Dong was still entangled in what the two of them wanted this kind of bells and whistles gauze scarf, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

When he got out of the car, Hao Dong was still a little weak-hearted.

He actually has a bit of an obstacle in his own heart. But the wind and sand outside the car were too big, and he saw that many people were surrounded like this, and almost all of them were embarrassed. He didn't want to be forced back as soon as he got out of the car, so he had to surround him.

But in the spirit of dying poor and dying friends, he also gave Qi Jue a tough surrounding. It's just that the image of Xiao Qi Ye really doesn't match this scarf, and he feels that if Qi Jue sees his current appearance, he will definitely go crazy.

However, before Xiao Qi Ye found out, he seemed to have accepted this appearance transformation quite obediently, and got out of the car wearing such a weird scarf, not caring about the eyes of the people around him.

Hao Dong looked at it secretly, feeling a little happy and a little inexplicable.

The scarf was wrapped by his own hands, and the little Qi Ye did not resist at all. Especially after finding out that he had already entangled himself like this, he was even more obediently at his mercy......

Could it be that his current image is more cowardly? So Xiao Qi Ye thinks that there is still a personal backing horizontally and vertically?

Because of Xiao Qiye's calmness, Hao Dong's thinking gradually began to turn in a strange direction.

After so many years of renovation, the Mogao Grottoes Scenic Area is now very large-scale. The management has kept up, and the environment of the scenic spot is also relatively pleasant.

Although it is still the loess slope of the great northwest, there are also green plants mixed in the middle, and the distance between the buildings is relatively far, which does not look desolate, but brings out a trace of the magnificent and domineering spirit of the great northwest.

The most famous of these are of course the frescoes, but in fact, only a small number of them are open to visitors for conservation.

Most of the area is a forbidden area, and there are scaffolds for people to go up and down on the large rock walls, and behind the scaffolding are caves, which are very intriguing to wonder if there are peerless treasures inside.

At that time, it was baptized by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and many of the treasures that are still in circulation are popular in the auction houses of major collection museums. Now that I'm there, it's hard not to be moved.

Hao Dong and Qi Jue bought tickets for the scenic spot and followed the team of individual tourists into the scenic spot, only to find that it was a little different from the general tourist attractions.

Because it is a cultural relic, there are many protection measures that need to be paid attention to.

If you enter the cave to visit, you need to pay attention to many details, such as the apricot peel water that Hao Dong thought was delicious and brought it down, and he was required to deposit it before entering the cave.

And when they came here, it was the peak tourist season, and the tour guide led the team to follow the order, and the journey was stuck. If you visit along the line, you can't stay more at will, otherwise it will easily cause the whole line to be blocked.

Photography is not allowed, and there are staff members staring at you on the side.

It doesn't matter outside the cave, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and it feels relatively comfortable.

Hao Dong felt that he actually didn't have any artistic cells, and when he looked at the murals or something, he only knew that there was a flying sky and a rebounding pipa, and he didn't know anything else.

When he saw that the tourist route for visiting the cave was arranged so crowded, all of them had to come in order, and he was a little unmotivated.

Qi Jue could see at a glance that Hao Dong's spirit was wilting, and it was estimated that there was a gap between the excitement here and Hao Dong's original expectations. He simply pulled people out of the queue waiting to enter the cave: "Let's not look at the scenic spot." ”

Hao Dong thought that Qi Jue was going to take him away, and he felt a little distressed about the one hundred and sixty-one tickets, but if he really wanted him to follow the crowd to visit, he really couldn't lift his energy. There is some contradiction in my heart.

Qi Jue didn't understand his thoughts, but he didn't say much, and pulled him away: "Let's go another way." ”

Hao Dong didn't understand where there was "another road" here, but after following Qi Jue to turn left and right, he gradually moved away from the crowd of tourists and walked to a relatively remote corner.

Further from here is the no-go area, and there are a few staff members watching there. Crossing the boundary of the scenic spot, you can see that there are people up and down on the scaffolding at that end, which should be scientific researchers.

Hao Dong just wanted to say, "You can't go here anymore", but Qi Jue pulled him out, and then laughed: "Sure enough, it's still there." ”

The area demarcated by the scenic spot here is a few low colored earthen walls, but there is a low wall more than one meter high that they turn around.

The low walls are very thick, with a thickness of almost two meters. This side of the wall is a scenic spot, but that side is outside, I don't know why such a section was built here in the first place.

Qi Jue didn't want to explain the reason for the wall to Hao Dong, but he just looked left and right to make sure that no one paid attention to this remote corner, so he went directly to the wall, and then jumped into the wall.

Hao Dong only noticed at this time that although the low wall was sealed on the head, there was still a gap in it, revealing a magical gap inside. It turned out that there were two low walls, and there was about half a meter of space in between.

Qi Jue went in for a while, and there was a little sound in the wall, and then he poked his head out of his old position and motioned to Hao Dong: "Follow me." ”

Hao Dong's heart was beating differently, nervous and excited.

This kind of behavior like climbing over the wall in school is inexplicably very interesting, not to mention that the leader is still the little Qi Ye who has always looked very serious, which makes this activity have a strange attraction.

He also looked around nervously to make sure that no one noticed here, so he propped up the wall with both hands, and then entered the wall from the position where Qi Jue fell just now.

There was very little space in the wall, and it was not easy for Qi Jue to turn around when he was waiting in front of him. Hearing the sound of Hao Dong landing, he only greeted in front: "Bend down, be careful to touch your head, and follow me." ”

Hao Dong obediently curled up and rubbed forward sideways, and after walking for a short time, Qi Jue stopped: "Wait a while." ”

Then he began to smash on the top of his head, and in a few strokes he smashed a hole open, and the sun fell in.

Qi Jue stretched out his hand and pulled the hole a little bigger, enough for them to go out, so he got out first, and then stretched out his hand to Hao Dong: "Come on." ”

Hao Dong used the strength of Qi Jue's hand to drill out of the wall, and immediately found that they had actually arrived in the forbidden area, and was very surprised: "This? ”

Qi Jue rarely smiled heartily, and his facial features became a lot more vibrant:

"I lived here for a while, and the management was not as strict as it is now, so I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and sneaked out to find such a way. I didn't expect that after many years, these two walls have not been demolished. However, the demarcation line of the inaccessible area has been pushed outward quite a bit. ”

Although Xiao Qi Ye's smile was very bright, Hao Dong was silent, and said in his heart what kind of childhood Xiao Qi Ye had back then, which was really unimaginable.

After entering here, Hao Dong was still a little apprehensive in his heart. If someone finds out, it doesn't feel like it's as simple as "going the wrong way", and it will definitely be "educated" well.

Moreover, the murals and the contents of the cave are relics, and if something is missing during the time they entered, they will probably be copied in.

Qi Jue saw him shrinking his hands and feet, and simply took Hao Dong's big bag of apricot skin water, and directly pulled people and ran forward:

"Don't worry, this is the inner area, but not too many people are in charge, and the staff are all around the caves and the discoveries inside."

Hao Dong was dragged by him, stumbling under his feet, and couldn't help but run a few steps with him. These few steps out, as soon as the northwest wind blew in his face, a heroic feeling came up inexplicably, and Hao Dong finally let go.
