An hour later, it was almost ten o'clock. The surroundings were completely dark. Even though many stars can be seen in the sky in November, they are not bright. The Milky Way cannot be seen in Tibet for the next few months, resulting in such dark nights.
There was a big problem with their car. They can't find their way. Although the previous dirt road was in bad shape, it could still be called a road because there were cliffs or something else on both sides. The road was three to five meters wide and you could see both sides.
But now they entered a section of stone road. There would be no ruts from other vehicles on the stone road, and the edge of the road could not be seen.
It was too dark to see the distance clearly. Yu Jie didn't dare to drive any further and said, "No, the route shown now has deviated. The key point is that I don't dare to drive exactly according to the route on the navigation." After all, the navigation is just a navigation. In such a no-man's land, It can only be used as a reference.
Chen Xing said: "Go back. The house just now should be suitable for living. You two girls will live in it, and we will survive in the car for one night." Yu Jie shook his head and said, "But the altitude is too high, and it is not good to rest."
"Let's take a day off after arriving in Cuoqin tomorrow, and also check the vehicle and do some maintenance." Now everyone is cold, tired, hungry, and sleepy.
When coming to Ali for self-driving, it is better to have a convoy. There are many places in the convoy, and the conclusion that more people have more power is especially applicable in no-man's land. Or you can hire a tour guide, so that you will not get lost like they are now.
Zhang Lin rubbed her hands and said, "I think it's okay. If we drive as we are now, it will be at least one o'clock in the morning until we reach Cuoqin. Just rest in the house just now. Don't worry about me. I'm very adaptable. Last night I I just slept well." Hou Xiaoai thought for a while and said, "Okay, now it seems this is the best way." What she said was decisive, so everyone drove back.
It was already eleven o'clock when we arrived. Chen Xing went in to take a look again. He laid out an insulating mat and wrapped himself in a sleeping bag. He should be able to sleep very comfortably. There were some traces of fire in the corner. Someone should have started a fire here. Chen Xing said, "You two clean up." Come on, let me pick up some firewood." Hou Xiaoai felt a little scared and grabbed Chen Xing's hand when he was about to turn around and walk out of the room.
She looked at Yu Jie who was looking for a light in the car.
"come back quickly."
"Well, it's nearby. I'll be back in a few minutes." It's relatively desolate here, but there are some scattered trees. It's not difficult to find firewood. The only thing to make a fire is the dead grass on the ground. It's easy to do it this season. Can be ignited.
When Chen Xing came back with Chai in his arms, Yu Jie was already holding a sleeping bag and preparing to sleep in the back seat. He walked into the room, put firewood on the ground, and said, "Can you make a fire?" Zhang Lin nodded and said, "Yes, my hometown is in the countryside."
"That's good, I've never made a fire before."
"These are not enough."
"There are a lot more, I'll get them again." Chen Xing said. A night is very long. If you want the fire to continue to burn to provide heat, a lot of firewood will be used. It is impossible to sleep with a small pile of firewood burning in the movie. If you don't add more firewood, Chai would definitely freeze to death.
When I came back again, the fire in the small room had been lit. From the door, there was a warm light, which was a little bright.
He went in and put down the firewood, walked out thirty meters away with his camera, and used a wide angle to take a picture of any bright spot in this wild world.
Three cars came slowly in the distance, and the bright lights and the sound of the engine could be seen far away.
Chen Xing found an angle and took a photo before getting in the car. Yu Jie didn't sleep either. When he saw a car rolling over, he sat up and said to Chen Xing: "A car is coming. A convoy should also be going to Cuoqin. Should we follow them to Cuoqin?"
"There are still dozens of kilometers. From the looks of this road, it's three or four in the morning for them to get there, right?" The two of them had no intention of getting out of the car and communicating with them. In the wilderness, it was necessary to be on guard against others.
Chen Xing also understood this without Yu Jie reminding him. Chen Xing's car was parked on the side of the road without blocking the road. These cars were getting closer and closer. Light strips were installed around their luggage racks, illuminating all the surrounding scenes. No wonder they dared to Opening the road at night, with these lights, the night will have no impact on them.
The leading car stopped in front of their car, and someone inside asked: "Friend, what's going on?" Yu Jie said: "It's too late, I don't want to leave. Let's take a rest here and leave tomorrow."
"That's it, okay, as long as it's okay, we'll have a rest at Cuoqin." Travel friends still help each other a lot. Everyone is out and about. If you encounter some small problems, if you have the ability to help, spend a little time, or It doesn't matter if you spend some money or something, Chen Xing still likes this very much.
After they left, Hou Xiaoai walked out of the house.
"Are they tourists too?" Chen Xing nodded and said, "They are well prepared to drive at night. There are a lot of light bars, so there should be no problem. You can go back to sleep. We'll be fine if we stay outside."
"No, it's very warm with a fire burning inside. You all can come in." It's almost mid-November, and the temperature in Ali at night can even reach minus ten degrees Celsius. You may catch a cold or fever while sleeping in the car.
If you catch a fever in a place like this, it will be impossible to continue the rest of the trip and you will have to go back to a lower altitude place to recuperate.
In case of pulmonary edema, cerebral edema, etc., it is not cost-effective. There was nothing wrong with sleeping in a sleeping bag for the night in the car, but with a house and a fire, the two women couldn't bear to leave their two companions outside.
Yu Jie said happily: "I knew you wouldn't forget us." Chen Xing also agreed. It was indeed very warm inside the house. Not to mention the temperature difference between the inside and the outside was more than ten degrees Celsius.
Zhang Lin slept in the innermost place, followed by Hou Xiaoai, Chen Xing, and Yu Jie. Yu Jie slept next to the door. Even if the door was closed tightly, the wind from outside could still blow in sometimes. He was decisive. I still wrapped myself in a sleeping bag and lay down like a caterpillar.
Hou Xiaoai faced Chen Xing, her eyes were beautiful and sparkling.
"Then Chen Xing, I'm going to sleep first."
"Yes." Looking at the face of the woman opposite him, Chen Xing became increasingly unable to sleep. It was very hot inside the sleeping bag, and the fire was also very hot. They all put their hands outside the sleeping bag. At this moment, his hand could feel the temperature of Hou Xiaoai's arm through his single clothes. This made Chen Xing a little distracted and found it difficult to calm down. .
The wind was very strong and it seemed to be raining. Chen Xing stared, cursing himself secretly. She is seven or eight years older than you, and everyone else is open-minded. How come you are an LSP?
But I also like the feeling of skin-to-skin contact. None of my previous girlfriends were as beautiful and elegant as Hou Xiaoai.
But in the end, he fell asleep with an ambiguous atmosphere.
