96 Riders on the road (2)
The sun is very strong, and the music in the headphones looks very hot. I turn off the music and ride it desperately. There are very few cars on this road, and a car will pass by after a long time. Passing vehicles are quite enthusiastic about the cyclists on the road. When they see the cyclists, they always honk their horns to show their respect for the brave.
I dare not drink too much water. The water in my luggage is only enough for a day. If I lose water, I will die of thirst in the Gobi Desert.
There were dark clouds gradually in the sky, and the thickness of the clouds became thicker and thicker. It seemed that it was going to rain. I stopped and found a flat place to set up a tent.
Wow! Sandstorm! Sandstorm is coming!
I was a little happy and worried. The dark wind and sand swept over from the sky, like a big curtain on the stage, pulled from the sky. The roar of sandstorms came from the air, and the roar was still a bit scary. It showed me its strength and domineeringness.
"Damn Sandstorm. Come on!" I cursed at the nose of the Sandstorm.
Before I finished speaking, I was thrown to the ground by a sandstorm. Its power was too great, sweeping across the entire Gobi Desert like a sky and the sun. There was darkness in front of me, and I tried to open my eyes, but the fierce attack of the sand and stone forced me to clench my eyes. I didn't dare to open my mouth. The biggest advantage of opening my mouth is that I could eat a bite of soil, which would make you scream wildly.
I crawled into the tent based on my memory just now, and the first thing I could see was my bicycle tire. I climbed into the tent along the edge of the tent. After entering the tent, I felt like I had returned to my original world. The strong wind and sand were slapped wildly outside the tent. Whether my tent could withstand this sandstorm was also one of the things I was worried about.
Lying in a tent drinking black soil, eating duck necks, and listening to exciting music is a very pleasant thing.
When I started to feel sleepy, I vaguely felt a pair of eyes paying attention to me. I rolled up and saw two faces reaching into my tent.
"It's a human or a ghost!" I was shocked.
Two strange faces smiled and replied to me: "Man is human. Hello, we are also passing by here."
I unbuttoned the tent and invited them to come in and sit. They brought the food and drinks they carried in the car, and we ate while chatting.
"It's just this ghost weather in the Gobi Desert, and our car was forced to stop!" the man complained. His wife added: "We were so happy to see a tent here, and we could see living people here!"
"Where are you going?" I asked.
The man was eating roast chicken and replied to me: "We are going to discuss business! We were already two hundred kilometers away, but who would have thought we would encounter this weather!"
The woman asked me, "How long have you been riding?"
I replied, "It's less than a week."
"I really admire you guys. I have a good life, but I have to ride a bicycle to suffer." The woman continued.
After chatting for about half an hour, the man stretched his head outside the tent and looked at it.
"Oh, the sandstorm seems to have stopped. It's time for us to leave! Leave these food and drinks for you! Take care of yourself along the way!" They got up and wanted to leave, so I followed them out.
Their car was parked on the side of the road, and was blown away by the dust storm. There was a thick layer of soil on the car. The woman wrote a few words on the hood and said to me with a smile: "Brother, I'm glad to meet you, be careful!"
I waved goodbye to them, and the dust on the car drifted away with the wind.
It's time for me to set off and try to ride out of the Gobi Desert within two days. I rode another 200 kilometers. Since the sandstorm had just been scraped and the weather was not very hot, it was relatively easy to ride this distance.
In the sunset, a dilapidated castle came into view. I was so surprised that it was fortunate to encounter such a solemn building on such a desolate Gobi Desert. I walked into the castle happily, and it was estimated that it had been abandoned for a long time.
It was getting late, so I was not going to walk forward today, so I spent the night in this ancient castle.
After eating some food, I looked for something to burn in the castle. Tonight I will hold a one-person bonfire party in the castle.
However, this is just an imagination. There is no trace of wood or something like that in the castle. The castle is purely made of earth and there is no wood structure on the building.
Judging from the size of the castle, this place must have been the location of a tribe. Where did the people here go? I didn't want to know. I sat down and was thinking about how to find some wood.
A rope hanging above the castle caught my attention, and I walked over and observed under the rope for a while.
I pulled the rope hard with curiosity, and at this moment, I felt my feet collapse instantly. When I realized it, I had fallen below the castle.
I patted the soil on my body and stood up to observe around me. On the surrounding walls, there were exquisite murals. I rubbed my eyes and went forward to carefully check the contents in the painting. In the painting are many dancing Western girls. The smiles on their faces are sweet and realistic, and the dancing postures are graceful. When I was intoxicated, I was knocked unconscious by a stick.
When I woke up, it was already midnight. I got up and looked around. It was still the same ancient castle. In the middle of the castle, a bonfire was burning.
I was shocked. There must be someone here. Why did I get knocked out? Who lit this fire? I felt a little panic.
"Who? Who are you?" I shouted.
After a long time, no one responded to me. A page of colorful flags floated down above the castle, and it slowly floated in front of my eyes. I grabbed the colorful flags and opened them and took a look.
It says: Stay for one night and leave, don't think too much.
After reading the words on the colorful flag, I was a little helpless. Oh my god! Am I traveling through time? Who will be in the castle?
Don’t dare to think more. Thinking more may mean that nothing can lead to trouble, and nothing can lead to trouble means being beaten.
Since I was here, I got excited. After playing a dance music, I danced happily around the bonfire. Although it was a bonfire party for a person, it seemed that many eyes were staring at me.
I was tired of dancing, so I lay next to the campfire, drank two sips of white wine, and unknowingly fell asleep. That night, I slept very peacefully, and many dancers of the Western Regions appeared in my dream. They smiled at me, and I couldn't help but walk among them and danced with them a dance of their own unique style.
The sun shone on me, and the sun thorned my eyes hurt. I opened my eyes, sat up, and found that I was sitting on a Gobi Desert, and the castle of yesterday disappeared.
Could it be that I had hallucinations? Where did the castle go? Where did those saints go?
