Rebirth: Truth Does Not Dig Coal

I don't know what time I went to bed last night, but when Xu Hao woke up again, it was dawn.

He was not on the bed, but lying on the carpet.

Xu Hao propped up his body, top-heavy, with a man's slightly open hand hanging in front of his eyes.

Yan Ze was lying half sideways on the sofa, still in a coma, and the room was filled with the murky smell of alcohol.

Xu Hao reached out and patted Yan Ze's side, "Get up, go to sleep on the bed."

Saying that, Xu Hao was about to stand up, Yan Ze's body trembled in response, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

Yan Ze's face was full of drowsiness, his eyes were full of vigilance, and he moved his eyes up vigilantly while sleepy, and the moment he saw Xu Hao clearly, his expression relaxed.

Yan Ze buried his head in the sofa and asked, "What time is it?"

Xu Hao scratched his hair and looked at his watch. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. According to the plan, the two should leave.On the other hand, Yan Ze was so depressed that he didn't wake up. Xu Hao rubbed his neck and said, "I still have to drive later, I'll talk about it when I wake up."

Xu Hao walked across from the side of the sofa, and Yan Ze grabbed Xu Hao's hand.

Yan Ze was sleepy, but his hands were strong, and he asked Xu Hao in a vague voice, "Did I say something I shouldn't have said last night?"

Xu Hao looked at the top of Yan Ze's head, to be honest, Xu Hao probably remembered everything he said last night.

Xu Hao said, "No."

Only now did Yan Ze raise his head.

Xu Hao stretched out his hand, rubbed two handfuls of Yan Ze's hair like a large snoring dog, and said, "Sleep again, I'll take a bath."

Yan Ze's hair was directly blown by Xu Hao, he lazily let out a sigh of relief, and fell down on the sofa again.

--

It was the next morning when I gathered up enough energy to start again.

The two went straight to Xining and made up some food and drink in the city. Xu Hao and Yan Ze switched driving seats and drove to Chaka.

Far away from the city, the population is becoming less and less, and the road is narrow and back and forth, but it has broken into the grassy plateau.

At an altitude of 3000 meters, the velvet-like withered grass stretches to the horizon, and the setting sun melts the mountains into a pool.It gets dark early in winter, dark blue thick clouds wrap a small group of sun on the horizon, the warm air inside the car keeps blowing, and the scenery outside the car is vast and bright.

Xu Hao was driving, the road was deserted, and cattle and sheep could be seen from time to time, and further back, there were not many street lights, only two car lights against the only remaining sunset, and there were no passing cars.

Xu Hao felt that this place was a bit too desolate, so he looked at the navigation and found that he was in the right direction, but it was not safe to walk at night in this kind of place.

Xu Hao said, "Do we have to find a place to live?"

Yan Ze fiddled with the phone in the co-pilot and said, "I found it." Then he clicked his tongue again, "What kind of shitty place is this? There isn't even a hotel."

Well, this is the end of going out without doing a strategy.

Xu Hao looked at the sky, and there was still one thing he didn't say: there is not even a street light here at night, and when it was completely dark, he was afraid that Yan Ze would fall ill.

Just thinking about it, a large group of sheep suddenly appeared on the grass slope in front of the car.

The density of the flock is very high, and the wool is white as far as the eye can see, and they rushed over and surrounded the car.Xu Hao hurriedly stopped the car, but Yan Ze didn't expect it, "What's going on?"

Xu Hao felt helpless when he heard the sheep bleating, "It's all right now, we are completely separated from the industrial world."

Yan Ze was surprised to see the flock of sheep, and went to drive the window, the suddenly cold air poured in from outside the window, his breath was frozen into frost, Yan Ze closed the car window again without being caught, "It's so cold!"

Xu Hao was also very happy, "These sheep are really frost-resistant."

The two wore thin coats and opened the car door, and went to the trunk to search for clothes.

From the very beginning, I didn't expect it to be so cold here in winter. I brought enough other things, but I didn't have enough warm clothes.Xu Hao's body fat rate was already low, and he was shivering from the cold wind blowing at level [-] or [-] on the plateau, which was too much for Yan Ze.Just as he was about to get back into the car quickly, a boy in a big cotton coat came behind the flock of sheep with a big yellow dog.

The boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing the typical large cotton-padded coat and thick cotton cap of the plateau nomads, his lips were chapped, and his cheeks were dark with a healthy and vivid plateau red.

Xu Hao shouted to the boy from a distance, "Little brother, is there a place to live around?"

The boy heard the sound, and the big yellow dog ran back and forth around the surrounding sheep.The young man looked at Xu Hao and Yan Ze, and said to Xu Hao in not-so-fluent Mandarin, "Are you going to stay overnight?"

Xu Hao held it in his arms tremblingly, feeling like a refugee, then looked at Yan Ze, clenched his fist against his mouth, stiff as a stone, and remained silent.Xu Hao said, "Yes, look, it's too cold here."

The young man understood Xu Hao's words, and grinned. His teeth were not very white, but they were very neat.The young man asked curiously again, "You guys, are you from the city?" Seeing that the two men in front of him were really cold, he said, "Come with me, there is business ahead, and guests can stay here."

The boy had to take care of the sheep, so it was inconvenient to get in the car, so Xu Hao followed the boy slowly.Pressing over the grassy slope, I saw three large tents in the shape of a yurt on a flat ground extending downwards, and the tents went further down, extending out to a lake like the sea.

The tents are set up randomly, with a distance of more than ten meters between each one. The largest main tent is in the center, with a vigorous German Shepherd tied to the door, and there are bonfires and barbecue grills beside it.

There was a large leg of lamb on the grill, and the smell of the meat wafted quite a distance.

The owner of the tent was a nomadic couple in their 40s, who looked like the boy's parents. After the boy said a few words to the couple, the plump woman walked towards Xu Hao and the two of them.

It turns out that this yurt can receive guests.

From that point of view, there are very few tourists who come to Qinghai Lake in winter, but there are many people in summer. During the peak tourist season, they will set up a few more tents for passing foreign tourists to live in.

Because it is the off-season now, no one will go to this area at all, so they are not prepared, so they can only temporarily pack up a tent for storing hay for guests, but they can provide electric mattresses and electric heaters.

As soon as Xu Hao heard it, it would be temporary. It would be nice to find a place to shelter from the wind in the cold weather in the wilderness, not to mention that people still have electricity.Hastily agreed.

Take a look into the tent, in fact, the place is not bad.The tent is very strong, with a hard double bed and an electric lamp hanging on the roof. Although the temperature is still very low, at least it is not ventilated at all.

Xu Hao asked the hostess again if there were any extra military overcoats and thick cotton caps that they could pay extra for.The hostess went back to her tent and searched around, and found two sets of worn-out clothes, which meant that there was no need to pay, and I lent them to them for free. Xu Hao thanked them repeatedly.

Yan Ze didn't speak the whole time, sitting on the side of the bed wondering what to do, looking up to see Xu Hao had already put on his hat, was wrapping up his military coat, and there was a flower patch on his arm, Yan Ze couldn't help laughing all of a sudden.

Xu Hao heard him laugh, turned around, Yan Ze fell on the bed with a smile, wiped his face, "Fuck, you are too rustic!"

Xu Hao kicked him angrily, "This fucking is called doing as the Romans do, don't laugh and wear it quickly!"

Yan Ze sat up with a smile, and went to put on his coat and hat while "walking and walking". After putting it on, Xu Hao was also happy to see it.

The two of them walked out of the tent wrapped in heavy military overcoats, ready to find something to eat.At this time, the sky is completely dark and there are no lights, but the moonlight is bright tonight, and the visual effect is acceptable.A bonfire was burning not far away, Xu Hao turned around and asked him, "Are you okay?"

Yan Ze seemed to be in good condition, he blindly followed Xu Hao, "Is there anything wrong?"

That means it's okay.

Walking to the bonfire, the smell of the roast leg of lamb was really delicious, which made the German Shepherd salivate.Xu Hao put his hands in the sleeves of his military coat, and asked the host next to him, "You roast leg of lamb, do you sell it?" A live lamb is not cheap, and Xu Hao would be ashamed to eat it if it was offered for free.

Fortunately, the male owner was quite honest and said, "For sale, roast leg of lamb, roast whole lamb, you can sell it."

Once the two of them add up, let's ask for a leg of lamb first.

Xu Hao found a long wooden bench and sat down, and Yan Ze sat down next to him. The two of them squeezed together on the bench with long arms and long legs, amused by the host.The host took another bench and said, "There are more."

Yan Ze looked up and looked away, showing a gesture of refusal to communicate.Xu Hao reckoned that Yan Ze must be uncomfortable in this dark environment, so he took the words, "You don't need to worry about him, we were really cold just now. It must be about ten degrees below zero?"

The male host laughed again and waved his hand, "Not only that, in winter, when the sun goes down, it's more than 20 degrees below zero. This year is considered good. It's not too cold, and the sheep can survive it. Sometimes it's more than 30 degrees below zero."

Xu Hao clicked his lips, and turned to look at Yan Ze, "No wonder, I said we are not so hypocritical, it's a little too cold."

Yan Ze rested his elbows on his knees, and kept looking at the Demu who was drooling because of the smell of meat. Demu also looked over, one person and one dog were having some kind of magical encounter.

The male owner called out the dog's name and called "Xiaozhuo", and the German shepherd jumped up immediately, pulled by the rope, still eager to try, very energetic.

The host asked the guest, "Aren't you afraid?"

Yan Ze said, "What are you afraid of, this dog is very funny, can you eat roast leg of lamb?"

The male owner went to untie the rope and said, "Yes, why not, I can eat everything. Who would feed the dog with a roast leg of lamb."

The German Shepherd untied the rope, and immediately ran wildly on the grass as if he had lost his rein, and then ran back quickly after a circle, circling around the male master.

Yan Ze looked at the dog eagerly.

Seeing Yan Ze's appearance of wanting to step forward but refusing to get off the bench, Xu Hao felt it was a struggle for him, so he simply stood up first.

As a result, as soon as Xu Hao moved here, Yan Ze grabbed Xu Hao's arm in an instant, his hand was not weak, as if he was flashed by Xu Hao's sudden movement, he looked at him hastily, "What are you doing? "

Xu Hao said, "I'm going to tease the dog, okay?"

Yan Ze followed and stood up.His hands were tense, as if he was looking for balance on a single-plank bridge.

Yan Ze said, "Then I will go too."

As soon as the two of them stood up, the German shepherd rushed over, and was promptly slapped by the host, and squatted on the ground obediently, sticking out his tongue.

The host was busy roasting the leg of lamb, and told them to be careful not to be bitten before leaving.Seeing that the dog was quite obedient, Xu Hao squatted down and rubbed two handfuls of German Shepherd's fur.

Yan Ze looked at the dog, raised his head and said, "Another leg of lamb."

The male host responded, then turned his head, "Are you ready to eat?"

Yan Zen responded with a hunch.

Yan Ze sat back on the long bench, put his hands on his knees, gradually relaxed from the tension, and stared at the person, dog and flame in front of him again.

Within three meters of Xu Hao is considered a safe zone, and you can move freely in the safe zone.

After Xu Hao rubbed the dog, he was drool all over. Looking back, he saw Yan Ze with a smile on his lips, his hand resting on his lips, and the fire-colored Wen Hui in his eyes.

The leg of lamb was already being sliced, Xu Hao swept the dog hair off his body, and asked Yan Ze, "What's wrong?"

Yan Ze rubbed his eyes with his fingertips, and said, "It's nothing, this dog looks like you, it looks stupid."
