Chapter 324

In the urban area of the autonomous region, the road condition is still very good. The road is wide and there are not many cars. This has a lot to do with the relatively sparsely populated area in the northwest.

Half an hour later, the car entered the outskirts of the autonomous region and lost its way due west.

When you come to the outer suburbs, you can see buildings on both sides of the road. Even low bungalows are rare. Most of them are sand proof forests, one after another. After the wind blows, layers of green waves appear.

Since this car is a one-day tour of the desert, there is certainly a guide on board.

According to the sissy male guide, these sand prevention forests are planted at a high price by the government. Anyone who dares to cut down trees here will bear criminal responsibility.

It is because of the efforts of the government that we can see the sand prevention forest.

In front of the sand prevention forest, there is a small ditch, which is full of waste grass. As the car drives forward rapidly, occasionally you can see water flashing from the grass.

The tour guide is a sissy, but it's necessary to be eloquent. If you point to a distant area, you can tell a story. For example, please look at a withered old cypress tree over there. It's said that it was the place where Zhang Qian, who was sent to the western regions under the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, used to spend the summer during the period of the Great Han Empire, and so on.

In short, as long as the scenery on both sides of the road is slightly different, it may be related to a celebrity in history.

Among them, there is no lack of legends about hou Huo, the champion of the Great Han Dynasty.

For most mainlanders, this kind of scenery is not worth appreciating. We are looking forward to seeing the desert early.

Soon, as the car drove westward, the road became potholes, and the woods on both sides became scarce. Occasionally, local residents would walk by with camels, which naturally aroused the cries of tourists who really came to visit.

Slowly, as the speed of the car gets slower and slower, the sand prevention forests on both sides of the road can no longer be seen. On both sides of the road, there are yellow gravel. Occasionally, there are two willows with strong vitality, which can also make people's eyes bright.

The legendary Taklimakan desert is just ahead.

This is the edge of the desert.

Those passengers who close their eyes to have a rest when they get on the bus also open their eyes and look out curiously. Some even take photos with their cameras.

The guide said: "dear passengers, in an hour, we will arrive at the destination of this trip, three willows, which can also be said to have officially entered the Taklimakan Desert. Although it takes us only three hours to get there from the city, if we put it in ancient times, we would have to ride a camel for several days

Listening to the guide talking there, Qincheng city said in a low voice, "the guide fooled people. According to a document in Northwest China, when it came out in the 1980s, it was still an endless prairie, but later it was desertified because of the bad environment. How can we say that this place is a desert?"

Gao Fei laughed and said with disapproval: "most of what the tour guide said is just a legend. It can't be true. But he's right. We're in the desert now. "

Qincheng city looks up to the front, and you can see that in a very remote place, the golden and slightly red desert stretches to the horizon, and the sand and gravel will shine with gold from time to time in the sun.

It is often said that on the planet where we live, there are several exciting places: the sea, grasslands, forests, and deserts.

These places will give people a mysterious end connected with the sky, people in front of them, is so small.

In comparison, grassland and forest are relatively safe points, and when the weather is good, the sea and desert are gentle, which makes people admire its magnificence.

However, when the wind blows, the surging waves and the yellow sand all over the sky are frightening, as if to swallow up the whole world.

While enjoying the magnificent desert scenery, Gao Fei occasionally glances at several people he has noticed.

The five young people sitting at the back of the car started to play with their mobile phones after they got on the bus. They were so absorbed that they seemed to come here just to play with their mobile phones.

The three skinny men in their fifties, however, kept shaking slightly with the car. They all closed their eyes as if they were asleep.

"Dear passengers, the terminal of this one-day desert tour has arrived. Here are three willows. Here, you can rent a four-wheel drive desert car and enjoy driving in the desert - of course, the desert car is charged by the hour, and the time is limited to before 5 p.m. Most importantly, please don't enter the deep desert without permission to avoid accidents. "

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

Looking around, you can see a row of low brick houses not far ahead. To the west of the brick houses, there are three thick willows. It seems that this is the source of the place name.

In front of the low house, there are dozens of 4WD desert cars and some old jeeps.

At the back of the house, dozens of camels were tied to the stake.

It's not just this bus that comes to the desert. Before that, seven or eight buses have been parked elsewhere. Groups of tourists are surrounded by camels, cars and several small shops specializing in cold drinks.

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

"Hello, bosses."

As soon as Gao Fei and Qincheng got out of the car, the sissy guide came over with a smile: "before I came here, brother beard, the boss of" dream back to Loulan ", once told me that several people need good camels to go deep in the desert, right?"

Goofy nodded: "yes, we want to play in the deep desert - are those camels?"

The guide turned to look at the camels and said with a smile, "those, those are not. Those are old and frail. At most, they are around here for tourists to take photos. "

Qincheng some puzzled asked: "that, where is the healthy camel?"

"Please follow me."

The guide raised his hand and walked to the low room first.

Gao Fei four people carrying luggage, slowly followed behind.

When they came to the west of the low room, Gao Fei pretended to tie his shoelaces. He looked back and saw that the three thin old men who were in the same car with them followed, but did not see the five strong young men.

After turning to the west of the house, Qincheng city found that there were several rooms not far in front of it. There were more than a dozen strong camels beside the house. An old man with a white cloth on his head squatted in front of a camel, slowly smoking.

The guide walked over and cried out, "father Harry, I've brought you guests. These respected guests will rent your camels."

That old Harry, like a blind and deaf man, didn't see the sissy guide or hear him talking, and he was still smoking there.

The sissy guide's face flashed a trace of embarrassment and explained to Qincheng city with a smile: "this is Harry's father. He travels through the desert for 365 days a year. Although he's a little older and his ears are hard to use, his ability to lead the way, like the camels he raised, is superb. "

Just when the sissy explained that Harry ignored him because the old man's ears were not working well, Harry stood up and knocked on the bottom of his shoe.

"Look, he just saw me."

The sissy old fellow smiled and smiled at Harry, who was pleased to face what he was saying. When he saw the old iron rush behind him, he said, "I shall have the autumn equinox now. I reckon that you should come too."

Who should be here?

As a sissy guide, Gao Fei turned around and saw the three skinny men coming.

It turned out that old Harry was talking to some of them.

Lao Liu, the first of the three skinny men, looked at Gao Fei warily and then said with a smile, "Harry, how's the business in the last six months?"

Old Harry said listlessly: "just like that, half dead - no more nonsense. Are you a regular customer or according to the old rules, the deposit for each camel is 10000 yuan, the rent is 200 yuan, and my guide fee is 400 yuan."

Lao Liu didn't talk nonsense either. He took out a pile of banknotes wrapped in newspapers from his bag and threw them to Amway: "it's already ready according to your rules. When do you start?"

Old Harry took the bill and weighed it in his hand. "It's official after lunch. You go there and get ready."

Lao Liu didn't say anything more. He went into the yard surrounded by a fence.

Qincheng looked at the sissy Guide: "Mr. guide, old Harry seems to have good eyes and ears."

Sissy guide sneered: "black, ha ha, he occasionally - cough, Harry father, Harry father!"

Old Harry, who had already crouched down and was about to smoke, seemed to see the sissy guide and said faintly, "who wants to go out?"

There are people in the desert, so it is said that entering the desert is called leaving the fortress.

The sissy guide said with a smile: "it's these bosses, four in all."

Looking at the four, old Harry said, "where are you going?"

Gao Fei didn't hide it. He pointed to the old Liu in the fence yard and said, "I should go to the Loulan site with them. We just hope to see the legendary ghost town on the autumnal equinox

Old Harry nodded and asked, "how many camels do you want?"

The sissy guide held out four fingers to old Harry: "four heads."

Old Harry didn't even look at him, so he said, "four camels have a deposit of 40000 yuan. The rent for me and four camels is 1000 yuan a day. We'll pay and leave in the afternoon."

Qin Cheng said: "Dad, are you wrong? People rent you camels for only 200 yuan a day, and your tour guide fee is only 600 yuan. How can you count us 1000? "

Old Harry said slowly, "I'm the price. You can go to someone else if you don't want to."

Mr. Qin is not the kind of person who takes three or five hundred as money. He just doesn't want to be treated as a big wrongdoer. Old Harry undoubtedly takes her as a big wrongdoer and charges each of them four hundred dollars out of thin air.

"Well, find someone else, find someone else!"

Qi of Qin Cheng cold hum a, turn to want to leave, high fly but stopped him, and hurt to leaf heart point chin.

Ye Xinhui, went to the old man, took out a few bundles of money from the bag: "Dad, this is 50000 yuan, we rent four camels, the remaining 10000 is your expenses."

Old Harry didn't count the money, so he put it in his arms and said faintly, "go and get ready, and leave after lunch."

Following Gao Fei to the fence, Qincheng murmured in a low voice: "that old man is so bullying that he thinks we can't go without him?"

Gao Fei laughs and says nothing. He looks at Lao Liu and others who have been in for a long time. He thinks: I didn't expect to go with a few captains this time. It's interesting.
