Chapter 1106 – Mirage

The sky slowly darkened, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the endless desert, rendering the whole desert red, like the burning clouds in the sky, it was very beautiful.

More than forty kilometers away from where Zhuang Rui and the others camped, there was also a camel caravan, six camels arching together, surrounding four people in the middle, there was also a bunch of small campfires, with iron pots set up on top, and the water inside had already boiled.

That’s right, this was the place where Second Egg camped, probably due to the fact that this desert was still an oasis a hundred years ago, the underground water was relatively abundant, and in a radius of twenty to thirty meters, it was full of green desert plants.

The water source of this landing place that Erdan found was even richer than Zhuang Rui’s place, and the alkali content was not high, people and camels could drink directly, the condition was much better than Zhuang Rui’s place.

Night soon fell, the desert became more and more silent, except for the fire licked on the dry wood issued “crackling” sound, is around the campfire next to the breathing sound of a few people.

The camel did not carry much dry firewood, Erdan carefully added a piece of chopped dry firewood, greedily shrugged his nose and smelled the aroma of meat in the pot.

“@@￥#……”

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the silence of the desert, but it was Nakagawa, who was sitting by the campfire, speaking into the translator.

“Brother Erdan, Nakagawa asked me to ask you if the people behind us have shaken them off yet?”

Nakagawa in the country of Japan, is a very well-known entrepreneur, this person is busy with work, the movement will be less, Nakagawa is also more than forty years old, tossed in the desert for two days, his face is full of fatigue.

These two days net is in the desert in circles, some places are even they turned back to walk through, in Nakagawa thought, should be no one can keep up.

“This …… I am not sure, what does Mr. Nakagawa mean?”

Nakagawa promised that 50,000 dollars, Erdan has not yet got it, of course he does not dare to pack his bags, or else by the time Mangzi and others appear, he is afraid that Nakagawa reneged on that money.

“Zhongchuan said, he feels almost, want to find the ruins of the ancient temple as soon as possible, I said two eggs brother, early to find we take the money to go, in this dawdle what ah?”

Although Yan Xiaowei’s family was average, he hadn’t suffered this kind of pain since he was a child! If it is not on the basis of generous remuneration, he would have given up and quit, and in his words there is not a trace of respect for Nakagawa.

“Hey, Xiaowei brother, let’s go around for two more days, this little kid also feel that the money spent is not worth it?”

Erdan laughed, then said, “Since he said that, Xiao Wei brother you tell him, tomorrow morning we will go to that quicksand area, it is not far from here, we can arrive at noon.”

This is what Zhongchuan himself asked for, Erdan immediately had no psychological pressure, even if Mangzi and the others catch up at that time, he also has a pretext, the money that should be given to him that is not a penny less.

“Mr. Man, Nakagawa said that I’m counting on you tomorrow.”

After hearing Yan Xiaowei’s translation, Nakagawa looked at Prof. Man, gibbered and said a few more words, Nakagawa could not possibly forget that his father was buried in this desert, and up to now there are no bones left, he does not want to follow in the footsteps of the old Nakagawa.

“Let Mr. Nakagawa rest assured! Tomorrow let’s move the supplies around and let out a camel to walk in front of us, in case we encounter quicksand, we will be able to react to it.”

Prof. Man nodded, this was something that concerned the lives of several people, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest, as a desert expert, he was most aware of the dangers of quicksand.

After the broth boiled, Erdan put out the firewood, this desert is barren, any supplies are to be used sparingly, with the descent of the night, after eating a few people drilled into their respective tents, the desert has become silent again.

And two eggs and other people lie down and enter the dreamland is different, Nakagawa is tossing and turning and can’t sleep, when his father died, he is still very little, tomorrow we will go to the place where his father disappeared, which makes Nakagawa’s heart have a kind of indescribable flavor.

“Go le, all pack up the things.”

The next day at more than five o’clock, Mangzi yelled for the crowd to get up and pack up their things, the desert daytime blazing sun, people living here, will take advantage of the early morning to walk a little more.

Zhuang Rui and his entourage had a good rest yesterday, plus today is the last day to follow the camel caravan of the two eggs, each spirit looks good.

After packing up things, the sky has brightened up, into the eyes of all the yellow sand in the desert, floating with a few wisps of fog, Mangzi a little worried to look at the sky, said: “The weather is not quite right, there may be a gale, let’s find a flat place!”

The gale in the desert is very scary, often a gust of wind blowing, the hill like sand dunes will become flat, and the original flat sand bed, will also stand abruptly into a sand mountain.

Therefore, when encountering a gale, it is best to find a flat place and hide under the camel’s body, which is the only way to avoid the desert gale.

After Zhuang Rui heard Mangzi’s words, he looked back and forth and said, “Otherwise, let’s stay here!”

The fact that they were now in a place where the cactus existed meant that it hadn’t been covered by the wild sand, and it should be a relatively safe place to stay.

Mangzi waved his hand, all the time looking at the mist on the desert, suddenly his eyes went a little bit straight and shouted, “Ahem, you guys are lucky, you can actually see a mirage!”

“Mirage? What the hell is that?”

Zhuang Rui froze for a moment at the words, but he immediately lost the intention to pursue the question, because Zhuang Rui also saw the scene in front of him, and suddenly the whole person was stunned, and a piece of air-dried meat held in his hand, fell to the sand without even realizing it.

“Sea …… mirage?”

On the desert in front of Zhuang Rui and other people’s campsite, the original scattered fog, became even thicker, and in the middle of the fog, it seemed to appear a lot of scenery, confused and hard to distinguish.

Everyone was attracted by Zhuang Rui’s exclamation of surprise, in fact, there was no need to point it out in particular, as long as one looked up, one could see that in the middle of the desert in front of them, it seemed that a city stood out of nowhere, with silhouettes weaving in and out of it.

The legendary mirage appeared in front of the eyes, everyone was shocked by this sight, standing still, motionless, looking at the mirage in the distance.

Zhuang Rui reacted faster, impulsively camel took out his backpack, took out a small camera from it, opened it and aimed it at the modern city in front of him.

Mirage is a natural phenomenon due to the refraction of light, also referred to as mirage, is the earth’s object reflected light by the atmospheric refraction and the formation of false image, scientists call it optical illusion.

To know, this kind of scene is extremely rare, can be videotaped down even less, Zhuang Rui of course will not let go of this chance.

“That …… that’s a car, shit, and the sea, really want to jump in and take a bath.”

After about three or four minutes, the original fuzzy scene, gradually became clear, towering buildings, one by one, displayed in front of the crowd, speeding sedan as if like a movie picture, in the distance in mid-air speeding past.

Zhuang Rui looked at the scene in front of him, that highway on both sides of the modern sense of high-rise buildings next to the busy ferry sea shuttle between the north and south coasts, fishing boats, cruise ships, sightseeing boats, ten thousand tons of huge ships and their sound of the whistle, interweaving a wonderful sea bustling scene.

The more Zhuang Rui looked at it, the more familiar it became, and he couldn’t help but burst out, “Isn’t this …… this fucking Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor?”

Now is not ancient times, can not make a scientific explanation of mirage, but can see their familiar scenes in the mirage, that kind of chance is very small, let Zhuang Rui have a kind of hit the jackpot feeling.

Zhuang Rui had once stayed in a hotel next to Victoria Harbor for a few days, and was exceptionally familiar with the scenery there, and he could guarantee that he definitely hadn’t seen a mirage.

“That’s right, it’s Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor, Brother Zhuang, I realized that as long as I follow you, I can see any miracle!”

Peng Fei beside Zhuang Rui was also murmuring, he was even more familiar with Victoria Harbor than Zhuang Rui, because he had once stolen a luxury cruise ship worth hundreds of millions of dollars from here, and spent two days just stepping in front of it.

“So beautiful, is …… there Hong Kong?”

Although Mangzi is not the first time to see the mirage, but still unblinking look at the beauty of the distance, he was born until now, the farthest he has been to Dunhuang, although he knows Hong Kong, but has never been there.

“That’s right, it’s Hong Kong, Brother Mangzi, you can go and see it when you have the chance in the future.”

Zhuang Rui mouth back to the words of Mangzi, but the eyes did not move away for a moment, although the picture is familiar, but and they are in Hong Kong to see this kind of scenery, that is absolutely two completely different feelings.

“I must go and see it later.”

Mangzi nodded, in the ancient times of our country, the mirage was regarded as a fairyland, Qin Shi Huang and Han Wu Di had led people to Penglai to search for the fairyland, and had also sent people to Penglai many times to seek for the elixir.

Can personally go to the fairyland, I’m afraid that every desert people in the heart of the ideal, so hear Zhuang Rui so, Mangzi also in the heart of the decision, this time out of the desert, must go to Hong Kong to travel a little.

The mirage in the distance maintained for about forty minutes, the fog slowly became a little light.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the desert, the yellow sand mesmerized the crowd’s eyes that were staring round and somewhat sour, but when they opened their eyes again, the mirage in front of them had completely disappeared, and there was only an azure sky and endless desert.

“Grandma, why is it so blurry!”

Zhuang Rui saw the mirage disappeared, hastily picked up the hands of the camera to check up, but was disappointed to find that in their own eyes clear and unparalleled scenery, but was photographed ambiguous, can only barely distinguish some of the images to.

But can see this spectacle with their own eyes, even if this trip to the desert trip no gain, Zhuang Rui is also satisfied.
