C322 Coming
To be honest, the bearded boss admitted that his shovel cost sixty yuan each. If he could sell it for five hundred yuan each time he sold it, it would be pretty good.
He asked for 3,000 yuan, and the price was a 20% discount. He was asking for a sky-high price, so he paid the money on the spot.
However, he didn't expect to meet such a stupid person like Gao Fei. He didn't even bargain and just bought three of them.
He quickly scooped up three military shovels and a black donkey hoof, then ran to Gao Fei with his back bent like a large shrimp. He said with a flattering look on his face, "Respected boss, I have brought the shovel for you. I also have a black donkey hoof for exorcism which costs a total of 9000 yuan." "Due to the small business of our store, we do not owe you anything and we do not write any notes. Please pay us in cash.
"Alright, no problem. Thanks."
Wu motioned Big Beard to put his stuff on the table and nodded to Ye Xinshang.
Ye Xinshang took out a stack of unopened 100 yuan notes from his pocket and said lightly: "I'll have to trouble you to prepare two top rooms for us, and contact a reliable camel train tomorrow."
"No, no problem!" Leave everything to me! "
The big bearded boss patted his chest loudly and snatched away the stack of money in Ye Xinshang's hand, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Analis, where did you die?!" "Hurry up and greet the guests and prepare two rooms for the four bosses!"
"He's here, storekeeper!"
A woman in her forties leisurely walked down a wooden staircase with her waist as thick as a bucket. With every step she took, the stairs creaked unbearably, making one worry that she would collapse the stairs: "Owners, please come with me!"
Gao Fei and the others picked up their luggage, smiled at the big bearded boss and went up the stairs one by one.
With Gao Fei being bullied in front, those people didn't care anymore. They all rushed forward and tried to negotiate the price with the big bearded boss.
While the big bearded boss was wailing with tears in his eyes, a woman in the southwest corner (wearing a big mouth mask and baseball cap) was quietly looking at Gao Fei and the others as they walked up the stairs.
The man at the door took out his phone, stood up and walked out of the hotel.
As the saying goes, money can make a fool of itself. In the Northwest region with relatively poor economic conditions, for someone to spend 10,000 yuan in cash the moment they made a move, they definitely had to be meticulously cared for and cared for.
If it weren't for the fact that Qin Chengcheng couldn't stand the smell of milk in the Lady Boss's room, the zealous Lady Boss would definitely have let her and Gao Fei stay there instead of repeatedly apologizing and bringing them to a room with rough decorations.
This was the best room in the inn. If it were in the mainland city, it wouldn't even compare to the rooms that cost fifty yuan a night near the train station in the third-tier city.
After sending away the Lady Boss who was flirting with Gao Fei, Qin Chengcheng put her luggage on the bed and sat on a chair beside her. I feel sick at the sight of those cowards on the sheets. "
Gao Fei laid on the bed as if nothing had happened, and said while covering his eyes, "I would like to take you to a hotel in downtown (Autonomous Region City), but the hotel won't provide you with cars to enter the desert, or a camel train. Although this condition was a bit unsatisfactory, it was still better than sleeping in the desert. I'm sure you'll miss it tomorrow night. "
"Really? "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Qin Chengcheng walked to the bed and lay down next to Gao Fei. She placed her left hand on his body and asked, "You intentionally paid a high price to buy those broken shovels, right? The purpose is to hope that the boss will find the best guide for you (here, you mean the car that goes into the desert, and the camel)? "
Gao Fei muttered, "A good guide usually plays a decisive role."
Qin Chengcheng nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. From what you said, I also think that 10,000 yuan is worth it. No wonder your friend didn't hesitate to pay it. "Oh yeah, where did your two friends come from? They look like soldiers."
Gao Fei still didn't keep his eyes closed. "Often, the less you know, the better it is."
"Oh, it's fine if you don't want to say it, but I don't want to know."
Qin Chengcheng pouted her sexy little mouth and stared at the dirty roof in a daze. She then asked, "Gao Fei, do you think those people who were listening to the story down there were tomb robbers? Lou Lan is trying to go to Ancient Kingdom to try his luck."
It was as if Gao Fei had fallen asleep. After a moment, he said, "Not only are there tomb robbers among the people who listen to the story, there must be more tomb robbers in and around the room of this hotel. It's also very normal for all those who want to make a fortune to come here. Ah, go to sleep, we still have to travel tomorrow morning, I hope that we can reach the vicinity of the ancient country's ruins before 5 PM on the 23rd. "
"I can't sleep. Can't I sleep again tomorrow?"
Qin Chengcheng raised her slender left leg and put it around Gao Fei's waist, like a little girl who was going out for the first time with her parents, her eyes full of curiosity: "Gao Fei, let me ask you, in the depths of the Taklimakan Desert, do you think there's really a Queen of Loulan?"
Gao Fei replied lazily, "Aren't you known as an amateur archaeologist who specializes in history? "You should know whether Queen of Loulan exists or not."
Qin Chengcheng's slender legs lightly brushed against Gao Fei's body, "I am very interested in history, and have specifically looked up a lot of information on Ancient City of Loulan before. However, the problem was that the official information often existed from an academic point of view. "It's not as mysterious as what the boss said just now."
Pushing Qin Chengcheng's leg away with his right hand, Gao Fei said, "Generally speaking, truth and truth are hidden in the people."
Qin Chengcheng once again placed her legs on the place she liked to sit next to and her eyes lit up. "So what you're saying is that you believe the words of the boss?"
"I didn't say. Furthermore, you have already seen the《 Anggui Scripture》, there seems to be no records of Queen of Loulan within. This time, we are not here for the Loulan Ruins mentioned by the officials, but for a few dozen kilometers directly north of here, which is the real Lou Lan Ancient Kingdom mentioned in the scriptures. "Maybe we can really see Queen of Loulan …"
As Gao Fei finished his sentence, his voice became softer and softer. Finally, it completely stopped moving.
"Brat, you only know how to sleep."
Qin Chengcheng lifted herself up and kissed him lightly on the cheek before closing her eyes.
Early the next morning, the sky was still full of morning mist, so the bearded boss personally knocked on Gao Fei's room: "Boss, Lady Boss, it's time to get up and go on the road. There's morning mist this morning. It seems like the weather isn't going to be good today, so the convoy to the transfer station in the desert will have to leave early. "
In folklore, there is the saying that the morning clouds don't have a good day, while the evening clouds travel for thousands of miles, and all of the folklore is basically verified by a thousand years of experience, unlike the so-called experts nowadays, who would squat down in front of a rock with a magnifying glass and look at it for half a day, and dare to say that it was a Multicolored Stone left behind in the mortal world by a woman from the time of her apocalypse.
Gao Fei, who had slept for a few hours, woke up full of energy.
On the other hand, Qin Chengcheng, with dark circles under her eyes, was yawning and crying. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, so she was not afraid of anyone noticing her severe lack of sleep.
After having 'exquisite' breakfast at the hotel, Gao Fei and the other three people were led to the parking lot behind the hotel by Beard.
In the parking lot were a few semi-new buses and more than a dozen turquoise jeeps without any license plates.
When Gao Fei arrived at the parking lot, there were already dozens of people gathered there. There were men and women, young and old, but the few women were all wearing big masks and baseball caps, making it hard to tell who they were.
Most of the men were also dressed like Gao Fei and the others, wearing camouflage clothes and walking shoes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take note!"
The big bearded boss clapped his hands and walked to the front of a bus. He faced the crowd and said, "Everyone, our shop's daily tour of the Taklimakan Desert has officially begun. Next, my brother will give you a brief summary of our final destination, which is the name of three willow trees, two hundred kilometers away from here (a folk name on the edge of the desert). There, you will see the true, vast desert.
The bearded boss's eloquence was something that he wanted to know. With a few words, he expressed his intention: If anyone wants to go sightseeing in the desert, the fee will be three hundred yuan (including lunch).
If someone wanted to explore the depths of the desert, the driver would lead everyone to a professional camel train. The rent was quite high and the price was very reasonable, so it didn't have anything to do with him.

As soon as the big bearded boss finished talking, the owner of the water bucket started to sell the tickets. Everyone who got on the bus received three hundred yuan each, in addition to a bottle of 'Golden Coast' mineral water.
Ye Xinshang was the financial accountant among the four of them. He immediately spent $1200 to collect the four bottles of mineral water and took a good seat on the bus.
As for the open-top jeeps, they were specially used to transport large luggage for the guests.
Naturally, the four of them did not place their bows on the carriage, but placed it at their feet.
Soon, the bus that was holding forty people was filled with people. There were men and women, young and old.
Other than talking to their companions in low voices, no one had any intention of talking to strangers.
After the car had started, Gao Fei turned around and looked behind him before giving Ye Xinshang and the other two, who were sitting on the other side of the aisle, a look.
The two of them nodded slowly, indicating that they understood. There were five to six young men sitting at the back of the car.
From the eyes of Gao Fei and the others, it was obvious that they were practitioners, or retired criminal law users.
The other ones were old men in their fifties. They were lean and had cloudy eyes. They looked like they would die at any moment, which also caught the attention of Gao Fei and the others.
Gao Fei sniffed with his nose and smelled a unique earthy scent.
These old men, were what Gao Fei and the others called 'Commander Mojin'. They were going to take advantage of the equinox season to test their luck at Loulan Ruins.
