Chu Liuli answered the phone and learned that the "Nanxuan" who commented under her Weibo was Pan Rongxuan. He was doing a free clinic with his colleagues at the nearby C County Hospital, so he commented, "Coincidentally, I'm also in the northwest." ”

Knowing the purpose of Chu Liuli's trip, Pan Rongxuan was very uneasy, and he repeatedly told Chu Liuli to be careful on the road, on the road to the factory in County B, there were often sandstorms.

Chu Liuli agreed, but didn't mind. She remembers that one year there were sandstorms in the suburbs of the capital, which was nothing more than a bit of wind and sand, and the air quality was a little worse, and there was not much danger.

Chu Liuli was worried that Zhang Yifeng would not be able to call, so she chatted with Pan Rongxuan for a while and hung up the phone under the pretext. But she waited for a long time, and when her eyes were too sleepy to open, she didn't wait for Zhang Yifeng's callback.

She fell asleep with her phone in her hands, and when she woke up again, it was already dark.

As soon as Chu Liuli woke up, he glanced at his mobile phone, and there were no missed calls on his mobile phone all night, and he didn't receive any information. She thought, is Zhang Yifeng really so busy? I didn't even have time to call her or send her a message.

After Chu Liuli simply freshened up, she went to a nearby room to find Wu Yongzhao. The master and apprentice ate a bowl of wontons in the restaurant downstairs and prepared to leave for the factory.

The innkeeper learned that they were going to a factory in the suburbs and told them that there was a car rental shop nearby. Wu Yongzhao and Chu Liuli both felt that it was convenient to drive by themselves when they went out, so they went to rent an off-road vehicle.

Along the way, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the Gobi Desert, which had been baptized and tested by hundreds of years of scorching sun and wind and sand, made Chu Liuli feel open-minded. The Gobi has a variety of customs that are not found in other places, and it also has a roughness and delicacy that are not found in other places.

Chu Liuli enjoyed the scenery along the way, feeling that time passed quickly. At 9 o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the factory. Wu Yongzhao carefully inspected the ore produced by the factory and found that it was the kind they were looking for that could be made into pigments, so he said that he would report to the leaders first and then sign the contract.

Because things are going well, both the master and apprentice are in a good mood. Chu Liuli deliberately teased Wu Yongzhao and said: "Master, I heard that the meat buns in County B are very distinctive, and when I go back to the county later, will Master invite me to eat?" ”

In the courtyard, Wu Yongzhao is Chu Liuli's boss and master, but in private, he is an old friend who has been friends with Chu Zhiwei for more than 20 years, and it can be said that he watched Chu Liuli grow up and treated her as his own child. He pretended to glare at Chu Liuli and said with a smile: "You girl, you really eat wherever you go!" I heard your dad say that I still don't believe it, I said that Liuli is such a slender little girl, not like a greedy child, but now it seems that it is true! ”

"Master, you're too stingy, aren't you? Invite your apprentice to eat a meat bun and refuse to think I'm greedy? Chu Liuli pouted and complained.

"Okay, please invite my apprentice to eat meat sandwich buns! Whatever my apprentice wants to eat, I'll ask for it, it's always okay, right? While speaking, Wu Yongzhao started the car.

Chu Liuli smiled with satisfaction, after a busy morning, her stomach was already hungry and "cooing", and she was only looking forward to returning to the county as soon as possible to eat meat and steamed buns.

When they first set out, it was a sunny day, but halfway through, the sky suddenly changed, and the sand and dust in the sky were like demons, whistling in. In an instant, the sky was dark, the sand was flying, the wind was roaring, and the yellow sand was dancing. Chu Liuli heard Pan Rongxuan say that the weather in the Gobi is changeable, and now it has come true.

Chu Liuli felt that the off-road vehicles were trembling with the wind. She had never encountered such a situation, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"Master, shall we stop on the side of the road and wait for the wind and sand to pass before leaving?" Chu Liuli turned his head and asked Wu Yongzhao.

"Stop, it's too windy and sand to see the road clearly." While speaking, Wu Yongzhao turned on the headlights and moved closer to the side of the road.

Seeing that the master was very calm, Chu Liuli gradually calmed down. When she spoke to Pan Rongxuan on the phone last night, she remembered that he said that a friend was familiar with the Gobi. Just in case, she sent a message to Pan Rongxuan, explaining her approximate location. Thinking that if the wind and sand didn't stop, her and Master's mobile phones would run out of battery, at least someone would know where they were. Perhaps, Pan Rongxuan can still come to help them.

When the message was sent, Pan Rongxuan didn't respond for a long time, and she didn't answer his call. Chu Liuli thought that he might have something, so he didn't continue to call. Wu Yongzhao had turned off the car and parked on the side of the road, ready to wait for the wind and sand to subside before continuing to drive forward.

However, the wind and sand do not tend to get smaller, but rather get bigger. In the silent carriage, Chu Liuli's mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was Pan Rongxuan's number. Chu Liuli picked up the phone like a savior.

"Ruri, I was in a meeting just now, and I just saw the message you sent. My friend and I are going to look for you, you wait for us, don't be in a hurry to drive, it's not safe to drive in dusty days! ”

Pan Rongxuan tried his best to restrain his nervousness. Although he was anxious, he didn't want to let himself affect her.

"We're okay now, parked on the side of the road. You don't have to come here, I'll ask you for help when something happens! Chu Liuli couldn't bear to make trouble for Pan Rongxuan.

She thought that although County C was not far from here, it would be at least more than an hour away.

"Ruri, you don't have to be polite to me. You are not familiar with the road on the Gobi side, and it is easy to get lost on windy and sandy days. I'm going to find my friend, we'll be there soon! After speaking, without waiting for Chu Liuli to object, Pan Rongxuan hung up the phone.

After talking to Pan Rongxuan, Chu Liuli's mood relaxed a lot. As she waited, she noticed that the dust seemed to be getting a little smaller.

Chu Liuli hung up the phone and noticed the master sitting in the driver's seat, Wu Yongzhao's face was pale at this moment, covering his chest, and his expression was very painful.

"Master, is your heart upset?" Chu Liuli knew that Wu Yongzhao had a bad heart, so he first thought of this.

Wu Yongzhao nodded, pointed to the bag in the back seat, Chu Liuli understood, leaned over to take the bag, found a bottle of heart-saving pills from it, poured out 10 pills and hurriedly stuffed them into Wu Yongzhao's mouth. Wu Yongzhao pressed under his tongue for a while, and gradually relieved.

Seeing the master's frowning brows stretch, Chu Liuli was relieved. Chu Liuli thought that the master looked calm on the surface, but when he suddenly encountered this situation, he must have been very nervous.

The master and apprentice waited on the side of the road for a while, and the wind and sand continued to get smaller, so Wu Yongzhao suggested that they drive slowly and strive to leave the Gobi as soon as possible.

Chu Liuli saw that the master had recovered, so she asked him to sit in the co-pilot's seat, and she came to drive. After the master and apprentice exchanged positions, Chu Liuli started the car, turned on the wide lights, fog lights, and tail lights, and reduced the speed of the car to drive on the road.

Chu Liuli was fortunate that the direction of the wind and the direction of the car were reversed, not horizontal. Although the wind can act as a hindrance and reduce the speed of the vehicle, at least it will not cause an increase in the steering radius or centrifugal force, causing the vehicle to slide or roll over.

Through the car window, Chu Liuli could also feel the wind howling like a trapped beast, but her eyes were firm and fearless.

There are not many cars on the road, and they all have their lights on and drive very slowly. Although Chu Liuli was impatient, she was very steady when driving, and such a slow speed did not make her feel irritable and uncomfortable. After driving some distance, she felt that the sand and dust seemed to be smaller, and she could almost see the outline of a vehicle not far away.

The phone rang again, it was an unfamiliar number.
