For a self-driving travel novice like Song Jiang, he is curious about many things. After listening to Wu Gang's words, he asked humbly, "Do I have to go camping in these campsites?"
Wu Gang laughed when he heard that, "That's not necessarily true. The most important thing is to choose some places that can shelter from the wind... Once the wind blows, it will be relatively safe. The earthen platform we are going to go to in a while is actually the ruins of an ancient city, but it is Only some earthen walls have been eroded by the wind and sand. I heard that it must be at least two thousand years old, but it has never been completely swallowed by the desert, so it is a very good camping spot."
In Song Jiang's impression, the earth platform Wu Gang mentioned should be the top of an earth wall, or a cylindrical earth platform eroded by the wind. However, after the car arrived, he realized that he was narrow-minded and saw that everything in front of him was in pieces. The earthen wall must be at least as big as a football field by visual inspection. Some of these earthen walls were buried in half by the sand, and some were eroded by the wind and only had a cylindrical shape. However, it can be seen that there were people here in the past. Traces of life...
And it turns out that Wu Gang, the guide, is indeed very experienced. In addition to its remote location, the place he chose is really an excellent camping spot. Even if there is a strong wind and sand at night, the tent will basically be pitched under those earth walls. It won't be affected too much.
Because they were the only team camping in this place, the group of people had a simple dinner and then went to sleep in their tents. Moreover, they got up early in the morning before dawn and were on their way. Now they were all tired and exhausted. , even the talkative Deng Kai got into his sleeping bag early and started snoring soon.
In fact, as long as people keep warm in a place like this, sleeping is still very sweet. After all, there is no sound at all within a radius of dozens of kilometers. Even if there are occasional rustling sounds, they are caused by some small and harmless animals in the desert. After they come out, people sleeping in the tent will basically not encounter them, so they will naturally not disturb each other and sleep peacefully.
Unexpectedly, fate failed. Song Jiang, who wanted to sleep until the next morning, was woken up by a pee. Although he regretted that he shouldn't drink so much water before going to bed, he still had to go to bed first. To solve the problem, he reluctantly crawled out of the sleeping bag.
At first, Song Jiang wanted to ask Meng Zhe to get up and accompany him, but he hesitated for a long time and felt embarrassed, so he had to quickly get out of the tent by himself, hoping to make a quick decision... At this time, the bonfire outside had gradually begun to burn. It was extinguished, and the moon like a white disk above the head was hanging high in the sky. In addition, the light-colored sand was reflective, so it illuminated the entire desert as if it were daytime, and there was no need for other lighting tools at all.
Song Jiang and the others came with a total of 13 people this time. Except for Zhou Shiwu who slept in the car, the others slept in groups of two in tents, so there were now a total of six double tents of different colors in the camp. When Song Jiang passed several other tents, he heard snoring coming from inside. He knew that everyone slept soundly tonight, including Zhou Shiwu who was sleeping in the car. He snored like a fighter jet... I don't know. Why, although Zhou Shiwu said that he slept in the car to look at the things on the car, Song Jiang could see that he actually didn't want to sleep in a tent, and seemed to have an indescribable rejection of tents.
Since Song Jiang was really embarrassed to deal with it near the camp, he went around to the earth wall a little further away and opened the gate to release the water. After he was done, he didn't delay, turned around and ran back. As a result, he felt a kick under his feet after taking only two steps. When he found something, he lowered his head and saw that it was a dagger with a handle inlaid with many gems. The simple and gorgeous patterns on the scabbard made people fascinated at a glance.
Although Song Jiang didn't know much about these cold weapons, and he couldn't say he liked them, he could still tell that the knife was absolutely extraordinary, so he picked up the dagger from the ground without thinking and weighed it. It felt quite heavy. , and then naturally pulled it out of the scabbard...
For a moment, Song Jiang seemed to hear the "clang" sound of the dagger being unsheathed, but he soon felt that it must be the sound of wind, otherwise such a small knife would make such a sound when the precious sword was unsheathed. A sound that breaks through the sky? But he couldn't help but look at the knife carefully, and found that the blade shone with a cold light against the moonlight. This turned out to be an edged dagger... It stands to reason that such "fancy" daggers are bought for collection, and usually they shouldn't be edged, but this knife is not only edged, but it also seems to be sharp. Quite sharp.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang put the dagger back into its sheath and was about to turn around and walk back. However, he heard deafening music suddenly coming from not far away... And the melody seemed very familiar to Song Jiang. If he listened carefully, it was just yesterday. Was it coming from the subwoofer of the red Wrangler I met?
I don't know if it was because of the "treasure sword" in his hand, but Song Jiang didn't feel a trace of fear at that time. Instead, he walked in the direction of the sound. When he walked around several ruins, he saw the person from last night. Two men and two women were setting up a tent, talking and laughing.
The other party was stunned when he saw Song Jiang, and the guy from before even took the initiative to say hello, "Brother... where are you from? Don't tell me that you broke into no man's land alone?!"
Song Jiang heard that the other party did not remember him, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Our camp is over there... I came here when I heard the music."
"Where did you know about this place?" The handsome guy in leather clothes asked with a look of astonishment on his face.
Song Jiang thought to himself that this place is not your Kangtou? Where do we know this from? However, he was not born with the kind of person who speaks harshly. Even though he had greeted the other party's ancestors eighteen times in his heart, he still said politely, "The guide we hired brought us here..."
At this time, another woman with short hair said nonchalantly, "Laozai, can you do it? Didn't you say that this place is your secret base and no one else knows about it?!"
The short-haired woman's words were obviously meant for the handsome man in leather clothes, and his expression slowly turned gloomy. However, Song Jiang didn't take it seriously. Choosing a camp is not a marriage, but does it have to be a second marriage of different ages? If you can come, naturally others can come too, right? !
The beautiful woman wearing a bright yellow trench coat seemed to have a very discerning eye. Seeing that the handsome guy in leather clothes had a strange look on her face, she smiled and said, "What's all the fuss about? There aren't many people there now? Don't tell me that someone is about to leave like this." The route is terrible. I heard that there are often "big traffic jams" even on Mount Everest, and climbers are queued up one after another to go down the mountain... Compared with there, our place is pretty clean."
