Chapter 451: Desolate and Romantic Northwest
"Wu Xie! You guy! This...this...oh my, this is too much! Ah!" The fat man's face was full of anger, veins bulged on his forehead, and he pointed at the thin man next to him with one trembling hand, and kept yelling.
"If I hadn't seen you as so pitiful and helpless, I would never have abandoned that big money-making order at home and accompanied you on a trip thousands of miles away!" He became more and more excited as he spoke, spitting everywhere, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Even if we are traveling, we should at least choose a place with beautiful environment and comfortable living conditions! Why do we have to come to this deserted and sparsely populated northwest to suffer? Ah!" When he said this, the fat man stomped his feet hard, raising a cloud of dust.
"Look for yourself how to deal with this situation!" He turned around and pointed at the SUV parked on the side of the road with white smoke billowing from the front of the car. The expression on his face became more and more angry and helpless.
"It was a perfectly good car, but it suddenly exploded! Now we are trapped here and can't move forward or backward. Are we going to get out on our own two feet? Are we going to count on the legendary No. 11 'bus' to take us away from this desolate place?" The fat man complained and panted, and he was obviously very angry.
"Fatty, Fatty, please don't get angry first, calm down, calm down! This is indeed something that no one could have expected. Who could have thought that this seemingly reliable brand of car could have such a problem?"
Wu Xie carefully held up the somewhat worn thermos cup, bent down slightly, and leaned beside the obese Wang Pangzi with a flattering look on his face, whispering softly to comfort his anxious heart.
"Hey Fatty, don't be anxious. There will always be a way." Wu Xie said with a smile.
Fatty Wang's eyes widened with anger. He waved his strong arms and shouted angrily, "Then tell me, what should we do now? This road is completely deserted! Not to mention human figures, there is not even a ghost in sight!"
As he spoke, Fatty Wang looked around cautiously. He saw that the road they were on was winding and there was no end in sight. It had been a long time since they had been on this road, but they had not seen even a single car passing by.
The roadside was also desolate. Apart from the weeds swaying gently in the breeze, there was gravel all over the ground, which shone faintly under the sunlight. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew by, raising a small cloud of dust, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
After a while, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang, each holding a cigarette in their mouths, squatted beside the road with a lonely and helpless look. The rising smoke seemed to tell of their confusion and helplessness at the moment.
Wu Xie took a deep puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, and then sighed heavily.
"If it really doesn't work out, let's just take a risk. We have tents and everything, and we have a pretty complete set of supplies, such as dehydrated vegetables, canned meat, and biscuits. We might as well just sleep here on the side of the road for a night!" Wu Xie took a puff of his cigarette leisurely, while constantly swiping the screen of his mobile phone in his hand, as if he had everything under control.
Seeing this, Fatty Wang at the side couldn't help but wonder: Is this guy going to use his money power to summon the powerful Xie Yuchen again? Thinking of this, Fatty Wang hurriedly leaned over to see what was going on, but to his great disappointment - there was no signal at all!
"Are you kidding me? Wu Xie, are you kidding me? There's not even a signal in this godforsaken place! If we go on like this, we'll both end up in a miserable state!" Fatty Wang stood up suddenly in a rage and threw the cigarette in his mouth to the ground. The cigarette butt drew an arc in the air and then hit the hard ground heavily, splashing some sparks and ashes.
But what was unexpected was that in the face of Fatty Wang's excited reaction, Wu Xie seemed unusually calm.
He stood up calmly, took the last puff of his cigarette leisurely, and then said calmly: "Okay, stop complaining, it's time to work! Otherwise, we will really have to use the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed today." After that, he clapped his hands as if nothing had happened, as if he was ready to deal with the current dilemma.
Wu Xie walked steadily towards the back of the SUV, gently opened the door, bent down, reached out to grab the items inside, and slowly dragged them out one by one. These items looked quite heavy, but Wu Xie seemed to be able to do it with ease.
On the other side, Fatty Wang came forward with a smile on his face and took the ingredients from Wu Xie. He carefully looked at the food in his hand, muttering that he would cook a rich and delicious dinner tonight.
Then, he turned and walked towards a nearby open space, searching everywhere, and finally chose a suitable place. He skillfully put down the wood and started to build a bonfire.
At the same time, Wu Xie was not idle either. He held a tent tightly in both hands and walked briskly to a flat area not far from the campfire. He squatted down, carefully spread out the tent, and then methodically unfolded the bracket and fixed the ropes. Every movement seemed so skillful and smooth.
As time passed, the night fell like a huge black hand, silently covering the entire earth.
At this moment, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi had finished their respective tasks. They each brought a small stool and sat in front of the campfire. The campfire in front of them was burning brightly, emitting a warm light that seemed to dispel the cold and darkness of the night.
Looking up, there was an inky black night sky above my head, and countless stars twinkling with faint light were as bright and dazzling as gems inlaid on it.
Each of them held a cup of steaming hot tea in their hands, took a sip, and felt the warm current flowing down their throats, bringing a sense of comfort and satisfaction.
"It's been a long time since I sat down so quietly!"
"Yes! Ever since I followed you, Wu Xie, I have been either on an adventure or on the way to an adventure every day. And every time I have to pay for you to accompany me."
"Fatty, I seem to suddenly understand what Uncle San and the people from the Nine Gates are insisting on."
Fatty Wang turned his head and looked at Wu Xie, only to see him stretching out a hand towards the sky, not knowing what he was holding.
"What do you understand?" Fatty Wang turned around and grinned, "You just think too much. Sometimes, it's because people live too clearly that they can't get through life."
"Fatty. In fact, life is very short, but we are obsessed with spring and autumn. All we want in life is peace and freedom. Life is not easy, and everyone's desires are different. Individuals stand firm and unshakable.
My uncle and his friends are only seeking a right for us to be safe and free. They want us to be able to truly stand in the eyes of the world, rather than wrapping ourselves up in layers, wearing false masks, and appearing in front of everyone with a false identity. "
Wu Xie took a sip of hot water, and the rising steam blurred his face. At this moment, Wu Xie let Fatty Wang see his relief.
"Wu Xie! The most important thing for you is to do what you think is right. The most important thing is that you can't hear the complaints in your heart. The most important thing is that you in the future will be able to look up to you now."
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang smiled at each other. The sound of the cups clinking together was neither loud nor soft, but it just reached their hearts. "Here's to our brilliant tomorrow!"
