Hong Kong Comprehensive: Starting from the dispatch of generals from Kuling

Huang Xing replied with a smile, without any intention of explaining in depth.

Zhang Xiaoling glanced at him, and thoughtfully didn't ask any more questions.

The car became quiet again, and Huang Xing continued to drive quietly, paying attention to the map and the remaining traffic in the mailbox from time to time.

Occasionally stop to move around, release the water, and change the driver by the way.

After another six or seven hours of driving like this, the two arrived at the destination town smoothly.

This is a typical Arabian-style town, whether it is a tent-style hotel or a low house made of mud, it has an exotic style.

This time there is a very large square outside, and many vehicles are queuing up.

It is often seen that the convoy after refueling, water and food is set off again, heading towards the vast sand sea, riding away.

There are many shops on the edge of the square. Although the storefronts are simple and the goods are relatively simple, the types of sales can barely meet the needs of backpackers. Of course, the prices are also very touching.

Gasoline may be better, but the price of water is more expensive. Huang Xing filled up the 24 liter water tank and spent a few boxes of drinks.

There are many camel teams selling fruits and vegetables and waiting to be rented on the edge. When passing by, you can see that many people are very interested in these. From time to time, you can see a few guys dressed as tourists, turning over and riding on camels. Happy to take pictures there.

The two didn't stay here for too long. After simply finishing their supplies, they headed for the only large hotel in the center of the town.

"Welcome, visitors from afar, Allah bless you!"

The two parked the car, took their luggage, and just as they entered the gate one after the other, a bearded man in a festive red robe and a boat cap jumped out.

He was all smiles, welcoming with fluent English and exaggerated body movements.

"Thank you! I have two rooms, it's better to be next to each other. I also book a seat in the restaurant. By the way, you should provide special food here, right?"

Huang Xing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he got straight to the point.

"Of course! Absolute special food!" The bearded man nodded quickly and said loudly: "We have roast beef, roast lamb, roast camel meat, roast chicken, roast pigeon meat, roast bird meat, roast lizard meat, and roast scorpions , In addition, beer and drinks are also available, if you need red wine, I suggest you try the local product, believe me, the taste is really good!"

Zhang Xiaoling's eyes widened, a little unbelievable: "Grapes can still be grown in the desert?"

Da Hu shook his head: "Of course you can't grow grapes, it's the fruit of a cactus. How about it? Do you want to try it?"

The corner of Huang Xing's mouth twitched: "Forget it, let's prepare some normal things!"

"No problem, no problem! Come quickly, and carry our guests' luggage!"

The bearded man greeted him from a distance, and two men wearing face scarves and characteristic Arabic costumes ran over quickly from behind.

They walked over, clasped their hands together and saluted, then took the luggage from both of them without saying a word, and led the way.

The two followed behind, went up the unique staircase to the second floor, and turned into a room.

The two put their luggage on the locker, then stood aside, smiling at Huang Chen and the two of them.

Huang Xing was a little strange: "What do they mean? Do you want a tip?"

Zhang Xiaoling looked around, and when he found that there was only one big bed in the room, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he said, "We have requested two rooms, why did we only prepare one?"

The two of them didn't speak, and the bearded man suddenly appeared at the door. He put his hands together and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my precious guest. There are too many tourists recently, and there are not enough rooms. I'm afraid you will have to stay in the same room today." Of course, in order to express my apology, I will send an extra dried lizard for dinner today, but don’t even think about seeing these snacks, they are all made by me with my hard work, and they are absolutely authentic. , full of the taste of sunshine!"

"Live in one room? How about..."

Just as Zhang Xiaoling wanted to object, Huang Xing stopped him: "Don't yell, don't yell, go out, pay attention to the image of a lady, I'll tell him!

With that said, Huang Xing walked out with his arms around the shoulders of the bearded man.

The two boys carrying luggage saluted at the same time, exited the door in an orderly manner, and closed the wooden door.

Zhang Xiaoling stayed for a while, looked at the luggage on the bed, and didn't know what to say for a while.

In the corridor, the bearded man smiled strangely.

"Dear guest, the restaurant has already reserved a seat for you, exclusive use of the two-person world compartment, with a free candle, absolutely guaranteed to have an ambiguous atmosphere and no one will disturb you!

In addition, in addition to carrying luggage, you need to pay another room fee as a salary for lying, no problem, right? "

Huang Xing was speechless, he glanced at the bearded man, took out a stack of 20 dollar bills from his body, counted a few of them briefly, and slapped him in the hand.

"How did you see it?"

"Experience, dear guest!" After receiving the money, the bearded man's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to start counting the money.

"I've opened a hotel here for three years, and I can tell what's going on between a man and a woman at a glance. You are reserved orientals, so you can't hide it from me!"

Huang Chen didn't know what to say for a while.

After the bearded man finished counting the money, the smile on his face became wider. He put his palms together, saluted, and said loudly, "I wish you a happy tonight, I really wish you all!"

"I really thank you, Allah!"

Huang Xing shook his head, dismissed his beard, turned and went back to the room.

Zhang Xiaoling was very beautiful and had a pretty good figure, but Huang Xing didn't have too strong thoughts.

After all, the time and occasion were wrong, so I wasn't in the mood to pick up girls.

But having said that, if the meat is brought to his mouth, Huang Xing doesn't mind eating it.

The road was full of dust and dust. Although the two of them looked clean on the surface, they were actually a little disheartened.

It's rare to have a place to stay, so it's natural to wash and change clothes as soon as possible to refresh myself.

As for other things, but later on.

……

In the evening, the two changed their clothes and came to the restaurant under the guidance of the waiter.

The sound of gourd silk has already sounded, and the sound of drums and flutes cooperates with each other to form a background music with desert characteristics.

Under such a background, the two of them were making jade-style furniture and eating the flatbread and barbecue on the table, inexplicably showing the boldness of a desert hero.

The bearded man is really a man of his word, and he really asked someone to send a small dish of lizards to dry it up.

When seeing this thing, Zhang Xiaoling couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then pushed it aside with disgust.

Huang Xing curiously picked up one and looked at it, "This one... is really good enough!"

Apparently the lizard was completely dehydrated from the sun, and it was like a stone, and it would thump on the table.

"Which way are we going next? Continue into the desert?" Zhang Xiaoling tore off a small piece of scone, took a small bite, and asked while chewing.

Huang Xing shook his head: "No hurry, we'll stay here for a few days, the hotel manager will inquire, it's best to get seven or eight camels, and then prepare some water and food."

"Do you want to buy it?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy to buy, but if I want to rent it, it may be easier, and maybe a guide will be included!"

"Well, this is a way!" Zhang Xiaoling nodded: "What about the direction? How can you tell where to go?"

"That's why I said to stay and wait for a few days!"

Huang Xing smiled: "The treasure hunter I'm looking for has almost entered the desert. He chose to go with us. I believe he will be here in a few days. We just need to follow them!"

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind?" Zhang Xiaoling was a little surprised: "You want black to eat black?"

Huang Xing rolled his eyes: "Don't speak so harshly, I have paid a deposit. Although he is a master, he is also a guide. Is there any problem if I follow my guide?"

Zhang Xiaoling opened his eyes wide, and Huang Xing spread his palms with an innocent face.

Really... no problem!

Huang Xing smiled: "So keep your heart in your stomach, we have to come to play, and collect rumors about gold by the way, maybe we can find useful news?"

Zhang Xiaoling was helpless: "Okay, I'll listen to you, anyway, I came with you!"

"Don't worry, you will definitely see gold!"

Chapter 145 Sand Pirates

For the next few days, Huang Xing and Zhang Xiaoling lived here, spending money to inquire about some news, and at the same time looking for the guards.

Don't think that there is nothing but sand in the desert. In fact, this is a complete world, and there are a lot of tribes living here.

Add in treasure hunters and tourists from all over the world attracted by gold, and money is still very useful here.

But after all, it is located in a remote area, there are no banks or similar financial institutions, and most people use cash transactions.

Otherwise, with Qian Ketong's skills, Huang Xing can pull up a huge guard team in minutes.

During this period of time, Feiying's trip was also very smooth. They formed a convoy with fellow backpackers and were able to travel hundreds of kilometers a day. Too much time wasted.

Yesterday afternoon, they arrived at the last stop into the desert area as scheduled and checked into the hotel smoothly.

Here they ran into considerable trouble.

Not only was it targeted by mercenaries for a while, but also by another group of crusaders. The two parties got the news from nowhere, knowing that they had keys and maps in their hands, and tried every means to get it. snatch.

But all failed.

A little bit of good luck under the confrontation between the three parties, coupled with Jack's flexible and changeable style of juggling, the other two parties were overwhelmed, and they were killed after several attempts.

And at the last moment, the appearance of Elsa, the granddaughter of Adjutant Hans, achieved the final result.

She used a light machine gun to fire indiscriminately, dismounting the two men and horses.

In any case, Jack and Ada were saved, so they set off again the next day, and Elsa joined Jack's team.

From here to the desert, the difficulty of cycling is completely different from the first half.

The sand accumulates thicker the further you go, and the off-road vehicle can only move forward at a very slow speed.

For the last leg of the journey, they negotiated the price with a team in advance, and they were going to go to the place where the car could not travel, and then use the camel to continue on.

Their plan is very good, but it's a pity that not only the weather is changeable in the desert, but also the unpredictable desert robbers.

While camping one night, more than a hundred robbers wearing black robes and riding camels suddenly appeared. They held long guns and short cannons, and drove modified off-road locomotives, and surrounded the entire campsite in an instant.

They shot into the sky, roared loudly, and deterred everyone present.

And in just ten minutes, all the previous things and the women who could see past were taken away.

Ada and Elsa are obviously high-quality goods, and the desert robbers will naturally not let them go.

The gap in strength between the two sides is too great. Even if Jack wants to save him, he knows he can't do it recklessly.

So he played tricks, pretended to be dead and escaped, and prepared to rescue him later.

The desert resources are also relatively scarce, and the bandits also know that it is not easy to cause too many killings, otherwise it will easily affect sustainable development.
