Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 469
The bar in the old area is divided into four areas, the salon area, the leisure area, the billiard hall and the inner room.

The salon area is a place for ordinary guests. The aborigines or the surrounding people like to drink in the salon area, but apart from the locals, there are only passing truck drivers and nearby ranch workers.

The leisure area generally entertains tourists and some regular customers with a slightly higher social status, but there is often circulation between the two areas.

This bar should have been the top luxury place in this town before, and behind the salon bar there is something called a 'dog window', which is a relatively high window.

This kind of window is on the back of the bar. It used to sell alcohol to black people. It is still open now, but it no longer sells alcohol.

Ye Kai ordered a glass of whiskey with ice in this leisure area, and planned to enjoy the cold taste of whiskey with ice in the desert before eating the barely edible bread.

While waiting for the wine to be poured, Ye Kai saw the woman he had seen before in front of the ranch house.

After staying here for two days, I seldom saw any white people. She should be British or American in appearance, with blond hair tied behind her head, a hot figure, wearing a khaki T-shirt and ripped jeans.

A man in his 30s suddenly sat beside her.

"Hello, do you mind if I sit next to you?"

The girl sighed, her eyes seemed to only focus on the wine glass in front of her, and she didn't see who was sitting next to her: "I don't mind."

The man's eyes fell on her chest, "Why are you here alone, where is your man?"

"I don't have a man."

Ye Kai asked the bartender for another glass of wine, took two glasses of wine and walked over to sit beside her, passed another glass of whiskey past the girl, and slid from the bar to the man.

"Hey bro, let me buy you a drink."

It is estimated that the man also came here to have fun. Someone invited him to drink such an expensive wine. He picked up the glass and stood up, laughing and returning to the place where his companion was. His laughter was ugly and harsh, echoing throughout the bar.

Ye Kai said: "You are so beautiful, you shouldn't come here alone."

She looked up and saw that it was Ye Kai, the tense muscles on her shoulders became relaxed, she took a sip of wine and said, "It's you, are you the one who just went to buy camels?"

"Well, I saw you working for him?"

Robin Hales shook her head silently, and after a while she said to Ye Kai: "You want to buy his camel, how much did he say?"

"Twenty thousand..." Ye Kai was very angry when he mentioned the price, there was no reason for it to be so expensive.

"He also told me the same thing at the time, but I didn't have that much money, so he proposed to let me work for him for two months...no food, room and salary, but I would get a camel from him after two months .”

"Have you got the camel?"

"That's why I'm angry today!" Robin Hales said with a trembling voice, raising his tone significantly: "He thinks my work is not enough to get his domesticated camels, so he wants me to stay on his ranch, eh Mi! He's an old liar! He lied to me!"

"You didn't sign a contract when you stayed on his ranch?"

"He said he never used a contract..."

If you are not deceived, who can be deceived?
Silly and sweet.

Ye Kai swirled the wine glass with a spoon so that the ice cubes touched more of the wine surface... There was no room for Ye Kai to comfort this kind of thing, he was just a stranger.

He is still a Chinese man with a girlfriend and traditional thinking.

If there were no ideas that the system had instilled in Ye Kai before, Ye Kai would not know how many girlfriends he has found, or how long he has been wandering outside.The inheritance of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is actually the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.

Coupled with the monogamous system of modern education, this formed Ye Kai's current character.It has changed a lot since when I got the system, but fortunately, this change of personality did not happen overnight, otherwise the parents would definitely find some clues.

"My name is Robin Hales."

"Ye Kai."

"Ye Kai? The name of a Chinese, what are you doing here?" Robin Hales asked.

She had already finished her drink, and she didn't seem to be planning to order a second glass, so Ye Kai ordered a juice for her:
"Of course I came here for tourism. A famous Chinese writer lived here before, so I came here."

"Because there is a writer you like very much?" Robin Hales nodded, and then talked about her own affairs to Ye Kai.

"I have had a lot of different ideas from the people around me since I was a child. Last year, I really wanted to cross the desert... I heard that the edge of the desert is the ocean, so I want to walk over here to see the connection between the desert and the ocean. .”

"You can go to Egypt, where the desert is connected to the Red Sea."

"The desert over there is different from here."

Maybe, after all, the desert in Egypt is not so dangerous. Ye Kai heard that there were landmines in the desert here in the morning, and he didn't want to go there. After all, where is the desert not a desert?Why do such a dangerous thing.

Ye Kai still wants to talk to her, in case Robin finds out that there are landmines here, it will be too late.

"Did you know there are landmines in the surrounding desert?"

"Yes, but I got a safe route from Amy, who has been taking this route for 20 years and it leads to the sea."

"Really?"

"The route is true, but I can't get camels. The camels here are very dangerous. Even if the male camels are domesticated, they will hurt people, let alone those wild camels."

Ye Kai suddenly had an idea!
He is not afraid of wild animals. No matter how dangerous camels are, they will not be as dangerous as lions and leopards, right?Ye Kai can touch these large carnivores, let alone a camel?

"We will take you to find wild camels and bring them back. Can you domesticate them well and make them a qualified travel companion?"

Ye Kai turned his head to face her, pointed at her, then pointed at himself and said: "You know the route, and I know how to catch a camel, and let him be quiet so that it doesn't hurt anyone. Can you ride a camel across the desert?"

It seems that God is helping me. I wanted to give up at first, but I didn't expect to have such an opportunity.

"How do you catch it?"

Camels are not easy animals to deal with. They are smart, willful, and yearn for freedom. Their intelligence is no lower than hunting dogs. Every camel has an IQ like a five-year-old child.

"I have my way anyway."

Ye Kai picked up his wine glass, bumped it into Robin's glass, and said, "That's it, my goal is to cross the desert. If there is a safe route, I can go to the seaside with you."

The road to the seaside may be shorter than the road Ye Kai had set before, and the North Atlantic Ocean may be seen in less than three days by riding a camel.

Seeing Ye Kai's self-confidence, Robin Hales thought to himself...do you believe him?He doesn't seem like a bad guy either, and I really can't stay in this place anymore.

Maybe this is the last chance God gave me. If I still can't cross the desert, then I should go back.

"Okay!" Robin Hales agreed.

She picked up the juice and toasted Ye Kai, and the two walked out of the bar together. When leaving the bar, the man who had talked to Robin before came over and said to Robin Hales:
"You have to be careful, girl! Do you know that? You have been nominated by a few boys here to be Ayong's next rape target. You shouldn't be so friendly."

He turned to Ye Kai and said, "The wine just now tastes good, thank you."

Robin became flustered and trembling a little. Ye Kai pulled her arm and said, "Go back to the hotel and stay. I will come to you tomorrow morning. Anyone who comes over should not open the door."

"I, I didn't live in a hotel."

"Where do you live?"

The hotels here are really too expensive, not to mention ordinary people, even small bosses with small assets can’t afford to stay here for a month. It’s more convenient to rent a house for a permanent stay.

Ye Kai estimated that he could stay here for about a month, so he rented a house, not to mention Robin, who has lived here for almost three months.

"I live on another street, far away."

"I'll take you back." Ye Kai said.

As a tourist in this small town, Robin has a lot of trust in Ye Kai, coupled with Ye Kai's easily convincing temperament, Robin has now regarded Ye Kai as his protector.

It was okay before, but after hearing the hint of that person's 'good intentions', Robin now always feels that people everywhere on the street will look at him with strange eyes.

In fact, they were all looking at Ye Kai.

Such a handsome young man can't be seen in Ayong, and even the whole of Africa may not be able to find a man comparable to this man, so many young girls on the street have the idea of ​​taking Ye Kai home and becoming their husband.

Many facilities on the streets of the old city were abandoned, and many buildings and houses on the road collapsed. These houses were left untreated, and the stones were simply piled up and buried by the wind and sand.

Looking at this place, and then looking at the ranch where the man who raised the camels lived, you will wonder how the buildings here are so ugly?

The road is blowing sand again, the naked eye can see the dust in the sky, covering everything with a layer of veil, from the more lively bar street to the very remote street, there are tacky and unimaginative storefronts on both sides , also shut the door and no one does business.

This street is only good on the highway. The old city and the new city must pass through here, so there are still many cars passing by. The only clean road left on this street is the place where the cars pass.

Going further, Ye Kai saw a building similar to the house he rented.

Robin lives on the third floor. The layout and area of ​​the house are the same as Ye Kai's. It should be a masterpiece of the same period. The person who designed the house really should learn more about interior design.

I don't know if Ayong had any talents who had studied design at that time.

When Ye Kai was invited into the room, Robin suddenly opened her eyes wide, not daring to look at Ye Kai behind her... She suddenly realized that Ye Kai was also a man, a man who didn't know his roots.

And he actually brought this person home?
God, how could I be so careless?

Ye Kai didn't think so much. He originally wanted to send Robin home safely, and he reminded: "Remember, no one can open the door. I will come to you tomorrow morning."

The temperature in the Sahara is not too high when it is not bright in the morning, so it is more suitable for walking in the desert.

Robin's heart kept pounding, but she didn't turn her head until she closed the door and left. All she saw was the closed door and the sound of Ye Kai going downstairs... Did he really leave?

Did that really go away?
Robin's face is redder now than before... what was he thinking?

………………

The escalators in the corridors of this building are very simple, and there are no lights. Walking here alone without any special effects is a bit like a ghost movie. At this moment, there was a creaking sound.

Ye Kai's whole body trembled!
The door of a house opened, and a Saharawi woman in her 40s came out, very fat, wrapped in a colorful blanket, looking at Ye Kai as if she was staring at some scourge.

"You came out of Robin's room?"

She spoke English, which was more authentic than the English Ye Kai had heard here.

"Yes, I took her home."

The woman suddenly yelled, "Robin, are you okay?"

Robin quickly opened the door, looked down from the stairs and said, "I'm fine, Guka, thank you, he is a good person who sent me back, and he is also a person who came to Ayong from other places for a trip."

"Oh, so you are also a traveler..."

Guka relaxed, and the expression on her face became much friendlier. After apologizing to Ye Kai, she said:

"I'm sorry, but Robin is so kind and so stupid, we all know Amy is an old liar, but she still has to trust that person."

Guka...

Ye Kai responded to Guka's words with a simple grace, but he was thinking about who Guka was... The name is so familiar, Ayong, Sahara, Guka...is it Guka?

Ye Kai suddenly thought of a person!

It is a character who appeared in "The Story of the Sahara". Thinking of this, Ye Kai quickly asked, "Do you know Sanmao?"

"Sanmao? Yes, she used to be my teacher. She taught me my English. Did you also come to see Sanmao's former residence?"

Sure enough it was her!

When Guka appeared in the story, she was still a little girl. Now that she thinks about it, she should have reached the age of her aunt. Ye Kai looked at Guka, who was fat but still beautiful, and the description of her in the story flashed in his mind...

At that time, Guka wore thick braids and a one-piece dress with big African flowers. She was barefoot without a veil or wrapped her body in cloth. A happy little girl.

At that time, Guka was ten years old.

That is, when Guka was ten years old, she got married.

This is why Ye Kai is so familiar with the name Guka. He has read too many books. Although he has a good memory, it is difficult to remember the name of one of the supporting characters.

But such a person really appeared in front of his eyes!
A Sanmao pen, a living character, at this time Ye Kai really wanted to take out his mobile phone and start recording, and tell those who said that Sanmao’s life experience in Ayong was all fabricated, you are wrong up!

Ye Kai was very excited and kept asking her about Sanmao.

Guka is also very grateful to Sanmao, seeing Ye Kai as a fan, so she invites Ye Kai into the house amusedly... Guka's house is different from Robin's deserted and small house.

The house is big, and the furniture and facilities in the room are very new.

Seeing that Guka brought a person back, the man sitting on the sofa watching TV was a little stunned. After Guka introduced Ye Kai as Sanmao's fan, the man enthusiastically went to make tea for Ye Kai.

There are tea sets and tea leaves.
