Outside the Yumen Pass, the yellow sand is like a book, and the eyes are full of desolation.

The earth is like an ancient scroll with its characteristic yellow spread out to the sky, blending with the deep blue sky in the distance. A light highway floats between the heat waves between heaven and earth, like black ribbons swaying in the wind, and the surroundings are as quiet as death.

"There is no scenery outside the Yumen Pass, and there is no reason for the west out of Yangguan!" A tank drove into the desolation, and the characteristic roar of the vehicle shattered the yellow historical memory.

"The Shenzhou spacecraft ran 14 laps in orbit, successfully completed all the scheduled operational tasks, and returned safely to the main landing site in Jilin at 13:42 on September 17......" The news of the landing of the Shenzhou spacecraft was broadcast on the on-board radio.

The car quickly plunged along the road that spread all the way down to the bottom of the sand valley, and the road in the distance made the heat lose a few wisps. Even if the man in the car was mentally prepared, he was shocked by the desolation in his eyes, and unconsciously said nonsense. Thinking about my mood and this desert is almost the same, there is no hope, no life, driving more than a thousand kilometers, full of exhaustion and not covering the kind of resentment on my body, why eight years of acquaintance, and finally the other party said sorry, we are really not suitable to reject a thousand miles, even if it is a false reason, no house, no background, or even more explicit to say that I have no money! Yes, he's out of love! To be precise, I was broken out of love.

"I'm grass!" Thinking of the other party's expression of shaking his head away, he raised his hand and slammed the steering wheel, a horn honked the vehicle and fluttered, the man woke up and slammed the steering wheel, fortunately, there were fewer vehicles on the highway, and the car at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour finally stabilized, in a panic, his eyes swept the rearview mirror, and a figure flashed by, and then searched from the rearview mirror but there was no figure, but he was sure that he was not mistaken, a sharp brake, the car stopped along the side of the road, and then got out of the car and took a closer look at the road, The road from which it came was like a black ribbon of silk hanging from the sky, and there was not even a sheep on either side of the road.

"Am I really dazzled?" The car started, still thinking about this strange situation, no, I saw someone, yes, and he was wearing red, because the red clothes were brightly colored, he was sure of his eyes, and it was a woman! Why not? "Is it lovelorn syndrome?" Maybe it's because the car is out of control just now, some people say that ghosts are easy to invade the brain when a person is not focused, in short, it's really strange!

After running 30 kilometers, it is like spinning in place, this is the desert, the scenery is the same before and after 30 miles, and there is no color difference. As soon as the car climbed over a sand beam, the sky became dark, and the dark clouds at the bottom of the valley not far in front of him were still in front of him, which was another scene of the desert, a fickle face.

In the distance, a prayer flag on the side of the road ahead, no, it was a red dress, to be precise, a woman wearing a red gauze skirt, on this road, in recent years, there are many people on foot, there is no shortage of beautiful women, the only difference is that the woman stands quietly by the roadside, the skirt of the red gauze dress flutters slightly in the hot wind, and the woman does not wave.

He was still in the strange situation just now, and after hesitation, the car swept past the woman for a distance before slowly stopping on the side of the road, and in the rearview mirror, the woman turned her head to look at the car, paused and slowly walked along the edge of the road.

"There are really people, exactly the same as what I saw just now, except for the face" The man looked fixedly for a moment, suddenly a little uneasy, looked at the desolation ahead, and saw that the surroundings were still desolate, and there was nothing that would move, and the person who saw it thirty kilometers away met it thirty kilometers later, and thought again in an instant, "Nothing?" There were a lot of people on foot on this road, a dog, a car, a woman....... "and in a moment I felt that I was too cautious as a big man."

The woman followed, easily opened the car door, smiled, very beautiful, long black hair, shoulder-length, red, no, to be precise, it should be a little more yellow, well covering the places that should not be exposed, it seems to be a tasteful woman.

"Where are you going?" The man asked

"Just like you," the woman continued, still smiling, afraid that the other party would not understand, "Loulan"

"How do you know I'm going to the ancient city?" The man couldn't help but be stunned.

"The off-road vehicles on this road are basically tourists, how can tourists not go to the ancient city?" The woman's weak voice was like a thread, but the words were clear and powerful, and as she spoke, she got into the car and straightened her skirt.

"Oh, why didn't you stop the car?" The man handed her a bottle of water and started the car, "Aren't you afraid that I didn't see it?" ”

"I stopped it!" The woman in the rearview mirror took a small sip of water and said casually.

When the man heard this, his eyes quickly retracted, he didn't dare to look at the other party anymore, his thoughts didn't stop for a moment, and he was still pondering what the woman said, "I stopped it!" "Quickly replay the memory in my mind, I didn't see the other party stretch out his hand to stop the car, and I didn't see any gesture to stop, no, it won't mean that the figure that appeared thirty kilometers ago....... instantly a layer of cold sweat appeared on the man's forehead, and then thought of the desert before and after a hundred and ten kilometers without a figure, Leng Buding suddenly appeared a person, thirty kilometers ago I saw it, thirty kilometers later sitting in his car ........

"What's your name?" The man's thoughts were interrupted by a woman's words

"Oh, oh, I...... Populus euphratica!" The man was a little nervous

"Populus euphratica of the poplar forest?" The woman continued

"Oh, yes!"

"What's that, right? Yes, yes, no, no?"

"Yes, yes"

"Yes....... you....... What is it called?" the man habitually asked rhetorically

"Hey, yak!" The woman interrupted his questioning with a soft shout, perhaps because his voice was too soft.

Outside the window, in the distance, a yak stood on a mound, looking in the direction of the car, which was the only thing that could move a hundred kilometers, standing there alone, not knowing what it wanted to do when it ran to this place full of yellow sand and stones, maybe like himself, just for the loneliness in his heart.

The man's mind is a little more stable, and those who can have the heart to see the scenery are all girls who don't know the world, and just now they also assumed many virtual situations, the resentful spirits in the dead life of the desert, the visitors from the sky, and the ghosts in the mysterious secret realm...... It's ridiculous to think about, do resentful spirits have such beautiful resentful spirits? Thinking of this, she looked up at the woman, who was looking intently at the desert with one hand on her cheek, and there was no change outside except for the yak that was gradually moving away, as if it was a frozen picture.

In order to cover up his gaffe, the man of Hu Yang turned up the sound of the car radio a little louder, and after a noise in the radio, he searched for a small local station for a column interview, and interpreted it by experts on a flash that appeared near the TV screen during the recovery of Shenzhou, some said that the meteor was just in the same frame as Shenzhou, and some said that there was a falling object outside the Shenzhou spacecraft that entered the atmosphere and burned the result, and there is also a bizarre saying that the light of this UFO has not changed from beginning to end. And the most bizarre thing is that in the end it has a parallel flight trajectory, which is too far away from the landing point of the spacecraft, and it is estimated that the place where it fell is in the direction of Xinjiang........ Populus euphratica does not believe in the random bombing theory of these local small stations at all, after all, the competition is fierce under the current economic conditions, and small local radio stations have no room to survive, so they rely on people's curiosity to struggle reluctantly.

"You say, could it be an alien object, I heard that it fell to Xinjiang, hahahaha, if we are lucky, maybe we will encounter it? Pick up a big meteorite.......hehehehe, get rich!" The man's mind was completely opened in an instant, and he started to think about it, there was no echo in the back seat, and he glanced up in the rearview mirror, the woman didn't say anything, and she looked a little tired, too, it is true that ordinary women are not interested in these things that are far away from them. Shi Yi is the same, for football, extra-star, history and the like like insulation! Oh, Shi Yi is his girlfriend, and to be exact, she is already an ex-girlfriend!

On the side of the highway in front, a building suddenly appeared, a mound surrounded by a col, and a few brick buildings were scattered and scattered, and the roadside sign was marked: Lop Nur Town

In a small town, because of the increase in tourists, there used to be only a shop and a simple adobe house for repairing tires, and a large brick house was built next to the adobe house, and the history of this town can be seen from the wind erosion traces of the adobe houses that have not yet collapsed.

Hu Yang drove slowly, his eyes scanning the houses on both sides of the road, and when he saw the sign of the gas station, he accelerated to drive the car over.

As soon as the car stopped, a short and thin little man leaned in, with a typical northwest face and a dark expression, and he couldn't see what mood the other party was.

"Come on!" Hu Yang got out of the car and said to the black dwarf man.

"Okay! Fill up? The black man asked rhetorically, without raising his head, he skillfully pulled the oil gun over in his hand, twisted the fuel tank cap, and the action was done in one go, and the oil pump of the fuel dispenser began to whine before he finished a word.

"Boss, come on!" Another truck pulled up to another fuel dispenser near the side of the road, and as soon as the car turned off, a driver shouted in this direction, and the black man quickly responded.

"Jump the gun, call me!" The black dwarf man said to Hu Yang, and hurried away without waiting for Hu Yang to reply.

Hu Yang walked to the front of the car and said to the woman in red in the back seat, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?" ”

The woman in red got out of the car and glanced at the whining gas machine, "This, what is it?" ”

"Tanker!"

"Does it cost to refuel?" The woman asked curiously.

"Hahaha, joke, it must cost money"

"I'll cheer you on" The woman looked at Hu Yang's puzzled expression, snorted coldly, and twisted her head in the direction of the whining machine of the fuel dispenser. Immediately, the constantly beating numbers of the tanker accelerated and jumped, but it was a rebound, and it was getting faster and faster.

Hu Yang looked at the number of the refueling gun in surprise, his mouth opened wide, the oil gun jumped quickly, the oil was filled, the number on the panel of the refueling machine was zero, the two actions were the same, as if he had never refueled, Hu Yang took half a day to relax, look at the refueling gun, and then look at the woman in red, the woman in red had already pulled the car door and got into the car, leaving Hu Yang alone?

"What just happened?" Hu Yang was a little flustered, opened the fuel tank and looked at it suspiciously, the fuel tank was indeed full!

"How do I explain it to the owner of the gas station?"

More of a cold sweat!

"Jumped the gun?" The black dwarf man came running from a distance.

"Full ...... It's full! Populus euphratica unconsciously responded.

"Hey, the machine is broken?" The black dwarf man quickly put away the oil gun and looked at the screen of the refueling machine and was stunned.

"Well, okay, like, your machine is broken?" Hu Yang stammered a sentence.

Hearing this, the black dwarf man looked at the poplar and was puzzled.......
