", you haven't succeeded yet, you're so heavy on sex and light friends, if you succeed in the future, it's not that you don't even know me!"
Cao Yu looked at Sibao with some surprise and said, "Master......
Got a girlfriend?
” "What you said, I'm not ugly, I have a girlfriend, is it amazing?"
Sibao touched his bald head as he spoke, and suddenly came to his senses, smiling embarrassedly at Cao Yu.
Ye Shaoyang grabbed the conversation and said, "Don't be surprised, this is a flower monk."
Eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling and playing with women, do everything. ” Sibao immediately stepped on him, and just about to explain, Cao Yu complimented: "The master is also a man of temperament, and he is a game in the world, admire and admire." ” The car stopped at the door of a hotel, and as soon as they got out of the car, Ye Shaoyang and Sibao saw a military truck parked on the side of the road, the cargo box was wrapped in canvas, and it was tight, and the license plate was Beijing.
"Mr.
Cao, aren't we going to take this car?"
Ye Shaoyang asked.
"It's a supply truck, it's our stuff, and someone will drive to the base in a moment.
We took that car and left. ” Following Cao Yu's finger, the two saw an off-road vehicle parked at the other end of the hostel.
"Where is the base?"
Ye Shaoyang asked.
"On the way, I will explain to the two of you slowly," Cao Yu smiled, "Do you want to rest here for a while before you set off?"
” Both said no, just went into the hotel to use the toilet, and then got in the car.
Cao Yu sat in the front, Ye Shaoyang and the two sat in the back, got in the car and waited for a while without seeing the driver coming, Ye Shaoyang said: "What about the driver?"
” "Pack up your things in the room, and you'll be there right away, by the way, the driver is from the Naxi tribe, if you see him, just call the master, don't call the driver, because in their place, the driver drives a truck, the master is carrying people, and it will be disrespectful to call the driver, and you can't change pants in the car, which is also their custom."
Ye Shaoyang nodded, but Sibao asked, "There are also Naxi people in Xinjiang?"
” Cao Yu said: "People are not from Xinjiang, they are from Yunnan, their parents are from the Xinjiang Production Corps, and they stayed here, and the young man later worked in the salt mine here, and now the salt mine has collapsed, so he became a driver, because the road is familiar, so we asked him to be a guide." ” Sibao asked about the salt mine again, and Cao Yu explained that Lop Nur was originally a saltwater lake, and after it dried up, a salt crust formed on the ground, and there was rich potash underground, so some salt mines were opened in the marginal areas, but as the environment gradually deteriorated, these salt mines were closed.
As he was talking, a swarthy man in his twenties opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, smiled at all three of them, and drove directly without saying anything.
Ye Shaoyang looked over, this young man was wearing a work clothes, and his appearance was no different from that of the Han people, except that his hair was longer, and his face looked good, and he was a simple person.
On the way, Cao Yu told Ye Shaoyang and the two that the so-called "base" is a small town in the Gobi Desert, called Kulenke, which belongs to Ruoqiang County, where Lop Nur is located, and was originally a barren land in the desert.
Over time, the place became a certain size, and some people started trading there, bringing supplies from the interior and selling them to people entering Lop Nur for expeditions or expeditions, mainly food and clothing, and some expedition equipment, including rescue services.
The rest of the expedition team for this operation, those brick family beasts, had already gathered at the "base", waiting for only the two of them.
All the way to the west, out of Yumen Pass, the scenery is becoming more and more desolate, and there are fewer and fewer buildings and villages.
Gobi Desert ......
Ye Shaoyang looked at the frontier scenery in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Sibao said: "No, isn't it sung in the song 'Gobi Beach has become a fertile field', and it has not become a fertile field here, isn't it still a desert?"
” Cao Yu said with a smile: "The song only says that it will become a good field, and it does not say that the entire Gobi Desert will become a good field." ” I don't know how long the car drove on the edge of the desert, Ye Shaoyang and Sibao were still interested in seeing the scenery at first, but then they were too tired to do it at all, and they fell asleep in a daze in the bumps of the car.
When he woke up, the sun had sunk in the west, Ye Shaoyang looked into the distance, there were still some Uyghur villages before, but now there is nothing, only wilderness, and some abandoned buildings, some dead dry trees, still standing on the dry and cracked earth.
Cao Yu took out compressed biscuits and beef jerky to pad their stomachs, and the car drove for several hours, and when it was dark, they completely entered the desert, and it was pitch black all around, and when they finally saw a bright light, Cao Yu told them that there was a base ahead.
When they got out of the car, Ye Shaoyang and Sibao were weak and hurt everywhere, walking slowly nearby, while observing, they found that this so-called base was about the same size as a village, smaller than an ordinary village, with only two rows of simple buildings.
In a leeward clearing on the back of a sand dune, many tents were set up, of different colors and styles, and they did not look like a group of people.
There are also a lot of cars parked nearby, all off-road.
Ye Shaoyang and Sibao came to the row of building stalls and saw that the vendors were all dressed as Uyghurs, selling most of the exploration equipment such as kettles and shovels, as well as some food.
There is really a demand for trading, both of them are a little emotional, they didn't expect that there are also traders in this wilderness.
Cao Yu's assistant bought them some naan and let them taste it.
It was a Uighur object, similar to a steamed bun, and they were invited into the largest tent, with an incandescent lamp hanging from it, and directly below it was a knee-high square table with blankets and pockets around it.
"Mr.
Ye, Master Sibao, the conditions here are a little simple, don't dislike it, please sit down for a while, I have already sent someone to invite the experts of the expedition team, and we will meet and have a meal together in a while."
Ye Shaoyang pointed to the incandescent lamp above his head and said, "Where did the electricity come from?"
” "Generators, gasoline to generate electricity."
Cao Yu talked about the situation of the base again, and the three of them were chatting, the curtain of the tent was opened, and several people walked in one after another, and were invited by Cao Yu to sit down, and then introduced the two sides.
People probably didn't come, only a few representatives came, Ye Shaoyang took a general look, there were four people in total, three men and one woman, and the women were in their thirties, and the men with him were of the same age, both of them looked polite, with thick myopia glasses, and they looked like teachers.
