Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 482 Dangerous Stop
After a day's journey, Yan Jiekuang drove back to Nagqu, and then without stopping, he drove from the mountains to the grassland, and from the grassland to the desert. However, Yan Jiekuang identified the direction and moved forward bravely. He only stopped once at noon and had breakfast on the roadside. In the evening, Yan Jiekuang arrived at Tasar, which seemed not far from Delingha.

There were still people in Tasar at that time, but most of them seemed to be government servants, and most of them were soldiers, as could be seen from their clothes. When Yan Jiekuang's car drove in, someone came forward with a gun to stop him. Yan Jiekuang showed no resistance, and got out of the car with his ID, explaining that he was just passing by and wanted to go to Xining.

The soldier who was like a squad leader looked at the ID card and said nothing. He asked Yan Jiekuang to wait. He took the ID card and ran to a two-story building next to him. Yan Jiekuang was very puzzled. What era is it? Why is it still so strict? But he didn't do anything too much and just stood there.

Not long after, a man with a Sichuan accent came out and asked, "Hey man, why are you here?"

Yan Jiekuang's eyes lit up and he said, "I went to XZ and am preparing to return to Sijiucheng from Qinghai."

The man said, "It's not far from here. You should be prepared. Okay, no problem. We are a military city. Do you want to find a hotel by yourself or do you want me to find one for you?"

After entering Tasar, Yan Jiekuang realized how hard it was here. He had no intention of staying in a hotel, so he pointed to his car and said, "No need, I'll just stay in my car. Thank you."

The man looked at the car Yan Jiekuang pointed at, his eyes widened, and said, "Wow, an American RV, quite impressive, is this the first one in China? Oh, and it has sports car doors."

The man saw the open door on the side of the car. Yan Jiekuang had never thought that someone would drive such a car in such a remote place. He was also very surprised and said, "No big deal. I bought it specially to enter XZ."

The man looked at Yan Jiekuang deeply and said, "You are not an ordinary person. Ordinary people can't afford this car. Okay, it's nothing. This place is special. See, that's Kunlun Mountain. You are not allowed to go in. You are just passing by, so I have to tell you. You can park next to my house and leave tomorrow. It is more dangerous at night."

Yan Jiekuang was a submissive person, so he didn't object to what others said and parked his car to the side of the office building of the military camp.

After he became familiar with the squad leader, he told him that he was going in the wrong direction. However, he could also reach Xining from here, but it was quite far. Yan Jiekuang then realized that just looking at the map was not reliable. He invited this fellow to have a drink in the evening, but was politely declined. The squad leader tactfully told him that he had to leave as soon as possible tomorrow, as this place was very unsafe, and that strange things might happen there and people often died.

Yan Jiekuang was half-believing and half-doubting, but he was a man who listened to advice, so he would listen no matter whether what others said was right or wrong.

At night, he took the children to have a simple meal and rested in the car. In the middle of the night, the little Tibetan mastiff climbed onto Yan Jiekuang's bed and kept licking Yan Jiekuang's face. Eventually, Yan Jiekuang was awakened by the licking. Looking at the little Tibetan mastiff looking at him, he didn't know what to do, but the little Tibetan mastiff pulled his trouser leg and pulled him into the cab.

Yan Jiekuang followed the little Tibetan mastiff to the driver's seat in confusion. The Tibetan mastiff howled twice at the place where the key was. Yan Jiekuang understood that the little Tibetan mastiff wanted him to start the car and leave. The little Tibetan mastiff had not been there for long, but Yan Jiekuang knew that this little guy was full of spirituality. It kept calling out to Yan Jiekuang to drive. Although Yan Jiekuang didn't know why, he started the car somehow, drove away from Golmud.

It was midnight and the outside was foggy. Yan Jiekuang didn't know where he was. He stopped the car and went to look at the little Tibetan mastiff. It was sleeping soundly at the foot of his accelerator.

Yan Jiekuang did not leave the driving seat. He adjusted the driving position, found a comfortable position, lay down, and gradually fell asleep.

When Yan Jiekuang woke up again, the scene he saw shocked him. On his left was an endless Gobi Desert, and on his right was a birch forest. He was parked on the road in the middle, and the road ahead was vague, with part of it covered by sand.

Yan Jiekuang woke up, walked to the washbasin in the car, washed his face, lit a cigarette, started the car and drove to the end of the road. The weather was good now, the sun had just come out, there was no strong wind or heavy rain. The car drove for about half an hour, and human houses were seen from a distance. At first, they were scattered, and the further they went, the denser the houses became. When he saw the three words "Delinha", Yan Jiekuang breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of getting lost. Looking down at the little Tibetan mastiff under his feet, Yan Jiekuang laughed. What was he doing? He listened to the advice of a little guy in the middle of the night and drove at risk.

When they entered Delingha, Chen Liang and his sister had already woken up. Yan Jiekuang drove while directing Chen Liang to prepare milk powder for his daughter. When his daughter had finished drinking the milk, the car stopped in front of a snack bar in Delingha.

This was a mutton offal shop. Yan Jiekuang walked into the shop and pointed at the menu and ordered dishes, regardless of whether he understood Chinese or not. The waiter seemed to understand what he was saying and ran to the back.

Yan Jiekuang was waiting there with his two children. Not long after, a few large pancakes and three bowls of mutton soup were served in front of them. The waiter said, "You can have more soup after you finish. Where are you from? It's so early in the morning."

Yan Jiekuang drank his soup and said, "Tasar, I came here in the middle of the night and was hungry."

When the waiter heard what Yan Jiekuang said, he laughed and said, "Most people don't dare to travel in the middle of the night. It's a mess here. There are wild beasts and valleys. It's easy to find people. You are really capable."

Yan Jiekuang frowned and didn't say anything because he didn't know what was going on here. It was because of the little Tibetan mastiff that he ran out. At this time, the radio on the counter broadcast urgent news.

"Dear listeners, please stop going to Tasar. Tasar has been completely submerged by the sandstorm, the roads are blocked, and the situation is unclear. Dear listeners, please stop going to Tasar. Tasar has been completely submerged by the sandstorm, the roads are blocked, and the situation is unclear. Dear listeners, please stop going to Tasar. Tasar has been completely submerged by the sandstorm, the roads are blocked, and the situation is unclear." The voice on the radio played three times.

After listening to this, Yan Jiekuang sat there in a daze, sweating profusely. What was going on? If it weren't for the little Tibetan mastiff, would I have been buried in the desert too?
Yan Jiekuang looked at the little Tibetan mastiff lying on the ground. The dog was innocently struggling with Chen Liang's shoes. Yan Jiekuang was confused.

Anyway, Yan Jiekuang managed to escape the disaster. He arrived in Delingha, looked at the commodity city there, bought some things to take back, and drove out early the next morning. He was frightened by the waiter, who kept asking about Tasar's condition, but how would he know?

Nannan and the little Tibetan mastiff had a special liking for Delingha's yogurt and couldn't finish it in a short time. Yan Jiekuang and Chen Liang drank soy milk and ate fried dough sticks. Yan Jiekuang hadn't eaten this for a long time. The waiter kept looking at Yan Jiekuang, which made Yan Jiekuang very uncomfortable, so he asked, "Young man, why are you looking at us?"

"Uncle, I just want to know how Tasar is doing. You are the only one who came here so early in the morning." said the young man.

At this time, the lady boss next to him spoke up and said, "This kid's family belongs to Tasar. He is worried about his family so he is a little anxious."

Yan Jiekuang sighed and said, "Young man, I didn't even stop there. I drove here directly. I really don't know what it's like there."

The young man and the proprietress left disappointed. Yan Jiekuang looked at their backs and shook his head helplessly.
