C323 Travel with the Officer in Charge of the Gold Mine

0In the autonomous region's urban areas, the roads were still quite good. The roads were wide, and there weren't many cars. This was closely related to the fact that they were located in the northwest, where the human traffic was relatively sparse.    

    

Half an hour later, the car was on the outskirts of the Autonomous Region, heading due west.    

    

After arriving at the outskirts of the city, not to mention the buildings on both sides of the road, even the low houses were rarely seen.    

    

Since this was a one-day tour of the desert, of course there would be a tour guide.    

    

According to the male tour guide, who was a sissy when he was speaking, Tian Mansion had spent a huge sum of money to cultivate these sand-proof forests. Anyone who dared to cut down trees on their own would be held responsible.    

    

It was because of the Heaven Palace sect's hard work that everyone could see this sand forest.    

    

In front of the sand forest, there was also a small ditch filled with weeds. As the car sped forward, occasionally there were flashes of water in the grass.    

    

Just by casually pointing at a certain location far away, he could tell a story. For example, he would ask everyone to look at a withered old cypress tree over there, which was said to be the place where Zhang Qian, under the orders of the Great Emperor of Han Wu, had taken shelter in the Western Region during the Dahan Empire period, and so on.    

    

In short, as long as the scenery on both sides of the road was slightly different, it might have something to do with a famous person in history.    

    

Among them, there was no lack of the legend of the champion, Hou Gou, getting sick.    

    

For most of the people in the Mainland, this sort of scenery was nothing worth enjoying. Everyone was actually looking forward to seeing the great desert as soon as possible.    

    

Soon, as the car sped westward, the roads became bumpy and the forests on both sides of the road became sparse. Occasionally, there would be local residents leading camels, which naturally attracted the cries of those who actually came to visit.    

    

Gradually, as the car slowed down, the sand forests on both sides of the road could no longer be seen. On both sides of the road, there were only yellow sand rocks.    

    

The legendary Taklimakan Desert, was just up ahead.    

    

This could already be considered the edge of the desert.    

    

The passengers who were resting with their eyes closed opened their eyes at this moment, curiously looking outside. Some of them were even taking pictures with their cameras.    

    

The tour guide began to speak: "Respected guests, we will arrive at our destination in an hour. The three willow trees can be said to have officially entered the Taklimakan Great Desert. "Although it only took us three hours to get from the city, it would have taken us several days to travel on a camel."    

    

Listening to the tour guide talk, Qin Chengcheng pouted and whispered, "This tour guide is fooling people. According to some documents in the Northwest region, when the 1980s was born, this place was still a vast prairie. It was only later turned into a desert due to the harsh environment, how could it be said to be a desert?"    

    

Gao Fei smiled and said nonchalantly, "Most of what the tour guide says is just a myth and cannot be true. However, what he said is right, we are indeed in the desert now. "    

    

Qin Chengcheng raised her head to look ahead and saw that in an extremely far distance, the golden desert that was slightly reddish extended continuously towards the horizon. Under the sunlight, the sand would occasionally give off a golden glow.    

    

People often say that there are a few places on this planet where we live that make our hearts pound: the sea, the prairie, the forest, and the desert.    

    

These few places would give people a mysterious feeling that seemed to connect the heavens and the earth. In front of these places, people were nothing.    

    

Grasslands and forests were relatively safe in comparison, and when the weather was good, the seas and deserts were tender and admirable.    

    

However, when the wind blew, the monstrous waves and the sky full of yellow sand were terrifyingly frightening, as if they were going to swallow the entire world.    

    

While Gao Fei was admiring the magnificent desert scenery, he would occasionally glance at the few people he noticed.    

    

The five young men in the back of the car began to play on their cell phones with rapt attention, as if they had come here to play on their phones.    

    

As for the three thin men in their fifties, their bodies swayed slightly as they closed their eyes, as if they were asleep.    

    

"Respected passengers, we have arrived at the final stop of our one-day desert tour, and these are the three willow trees. Here, you can rent a four-wheel drive car and ride around the desert to your heart's content. Of course, the cars are charged on an hourly basis and are limited to five o'clock in the afternoon. The most important thing is to ask everyone here to not enter the depths of the desert without permission in case of any accidents. "    

    

Under the tour guide's unique introduction, the car slowly stopped.    

    

Qin Chengcheng looked around and saw a row of low brick houses not far away. On the west side of the houses, there were three thick willow trees. It seemed that this was the origin of the place.    

    

In front of the low house, there were dozens of four-wheel-drive desert cars and some old jeeps.    

    

There were dozens of camels tied to stakes at the back of the house.    

    

It wasn't just the people in the bus that came to the desert to play. Seven or eight buses had already stopped somewhere else, and groups of tourists surrounded the camels, the cars, and a few small shops that specialized in cold drinks.    

    

Not far away, the sound of a four-wheel drive desert car could be heard from time to time, as well as the happy laughter of the tourists.    

    

"Hello bosses."    

    

The moment Gao Fei and Qin Chengcheng got off the car, the sissy guide walked over with a smile. "Before we came, the boss of 'Dream Return Lou Lou', Big Bro Hu, told me that you guys need a good camel to go into the desert, right?"    

    

Gao Fei nodded. "Yes. Do we want to go to the depths of the desert to play with those camels?"    

    

The tour guide turned around and looked at the camels, smiled and said, "Those, aren't they?" Those are the elderly and the frail, and at most they're just the ones that walk around and let tourists take pictures of them. "    

    

Qin Chengcheng asked curiously, "Then, where is the healthy camel?"    

    

"Please come with me."    

    

The tour guide waved his hand and walked towards the room.    

    

Carrying their luggage, Gao Fei and the other three slowly followed behind.    

    

When they walked to the west side of the house, Gao Fei pretended to tie his shoelaces. He looked back and saw that the three skinny old men who were in the car with them had followed them, but not the five strong young men.    

    

When they reached the west side of the house, Qin Chengcheng noticed that there were several rooms not far away. Next to the house, there were over ten sturdy camels and an old man with a white cloth wrapped around his head was squatting in front of one of those camels, smoking slowly.    

    

The tour guide walked over and shouted, "Old man Halle, I've brought you guests. These respected guests will be renting your camels."    

    

That old man Halle was like a blind, deaf person. He didn't see the sissy tour guide nor did he hear him speak. He was still smoking.    

    

A trace of awkwardness flashed across the sissy tour guide's face. He explained to Qin Chengcheng with a coy smile, "This is Father Halle. He travels through the desert more than half of the 365 days of a year. Although he is a bit old and his ears are useless, his ability to lead the way, just like the camels that he raises, is top-notch. "    

    

Just when the sissy explained that Halle ignored him because of the old guy's poor hearing, Halle stood up and knocked the pipe against the sole of his shoe.    

    

"Look, that's how he saw me."    

    

The sissy guide smiled proudly at Qin Chengcheng. Just as he was about to say something to Halle, he saw Lao Tieh speaking behind him, "It's almost the autumnal equinox. I think you guys should be here by now."    

    

Who should come?    

0

    

The sissy tour guide, Gao Fei and co. turned around and saw the three skinny men walk over.    

    

It turned out that Old Halle was talking to them.    

    

Lao Liu, the leader of the three, looked at Gao Fei warily and smiled, "Halle, how's your business for the past six months?"    

    

Old Halle said listlessly: "Like that, I won't waste any more time on half-dead nonsense. You are a regular customer, according to the old rules, each camel's deposit is 10,000 yuan, the rent is 200 yuan, and my tour fee is 400."    

    

Lao Liu didn't waste time talking, he took out a stack of bills wrapped in newspaper from his bag and threw it to Anli. "We've already prepared it according to your rules. When do we set off?"    

    

Old Halle took the money and weighed it in his hand: "Let's start after lunch. You guys go over there and prepare."    

    

Lao Liu and the others didn't say anything else and walked directly into the fenced up yard.    

    

Qin Chengcheng looked at her sissy tour guide and said, "Mr. tour guide, Old Halle seems to have good eyes and ears."    

    

The sissy tour guide snickered: "Heh, heh, he occasionally coughed. Old man Halle, Old man Halle!"    

    

Old Halle, who was squatting down to smoke, seemed to see a sissy tour guide and blandly said, "Who wants to quit?"    

    

Among the people in the desert, there was an old legend calling entering the desert an exit.    

    

The sissy guide smiled and said, "Yes, these bosses. There's a total of four of them."    

    

Old Halle looked at Gao Fei's group of four and said: "Where are you going?"    

    

Gao Fei did not hide anything and pointed at Lao Liu and the others in the courtyard: "They should be going to the same place with them, Loulan Ruins. We just want to see the legendary Ghost City on the day of the Autumn Equinox. "    

    

Old Halle nodded and asked again, "How many camels do you want?"    

    

The sissy tour guide pointed four fingers at Old Halle: "Four."    

    

Old Halle didn't even look at him and said: "The four camels are pawned at forty thousand yuan, the rent between me and the four camels is one thousand yuan a day. Pay up and depart in the afternoon."    

    

Qin Chengcheng was stunned. "Father, are you mistaken? Others only rent your camels for two hundred per day, and your tour guide's fee is only six hundred. How can you count us in one thousand? "    

    

Old Halle said slowly: "I am at this price, if you don't want to, you can go find someone else."    

    

Teacher Qin was definitely not the kind of person who would take three to five hundred yuan as money. She just didn't want to be treated as a fool by others.    

    

"Hmph, I'll look for someone else then!"    

    

Qin Chengcheng snorted in anger and turned around to leave, but Gao Fei stopped him and nodded at Ye Xinshang.    

    

Ye Xinshang understood, he walked in front of the old man and took out a few bundles of money from his bag, "Dad, here's fifty thousand yuan, we'll rent four camels, the remaining ten thousand is your fee."    

    

Old Halle took the money and didn't count the bills. He put it into his pocket and said lightly: "You guys go and get ready, we'll leave after lunch."    

    

As she followed Gao Fei inside the fence, Qin Chengcheng grumbled in a low voice, "That old man is simply too much. He thinks we can't go without him?"    

    

Gao Fei smiled in disapproval and didn't say anything. He looked at Lao Liu and the others who had already come in. He thought to himself: "I didn't expect that I would be going with a few Commander Mojin this time. How interesting."
