Chapter 410 Leaving Delingha

At noon, Song Tang and his friends, led by Gesan, ate at a very famous local restaurant.

Originally, after finishing the meal, everyone was planning to return the clothes and go back to the B&B to rest, but after Gesang reminded them, they remembered that the owner Meiduo would go to Basang's house for lunch at noon, and there would be no one in the store.

Everyone could only go back to the B&B wearing their ethnic costumes. It was not far away anyway, and it would be the same if they went back in the afternoon or evening.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Wei and other men who had gone out to play drove back, exhausted.

Their faces and bodies were all covered in dust. It seemed that the place they went to was quite dusty.

Although everyone was covered in dust and dirt, they seemed to be in high spirits.

"Hurry up and stop showing off. Go back and wash up and change your clothes before coming out." Before Ding Wei could talk happily to everyone, he was interrupted by Zheng Long.

Everyone looked at the dust on each other's faces and bodies, smiled and nodded, and went back to wash up.

Taking advantage of this time, Chen Xiong and Feng Bo drove to Meiduo's store to return the ethnic costumes that Song Tang and the others had changed out of.

After Ding Wei and the others had cleaned up, everyone sat around in Gesang's small courtyard.

At this time, a barbecue grill had been lit in the middle of the yard, and a lot of cleaned and cut meats and vegetables were piled in the basin prepared by Gesan.

While everyone was chatting, their hands were busy threading skewers, preparing for the barbecue dinner that would be held later.

Ding Wei, this lively guy, never stopped talking while working, telling everyone what they saw and heard today, which left Song Tang and the others stunned.

I have to say that Ding Wei is very good at telling stories and creating an atmosphere. He almost described a simple alien site as a scene from a science fiction novel.

Of course, those who were out also asked Song Tang and the other girls what they had done today.

When I heard that everyone changed into ethnic costumes and went out, I felt envious. If I had known earlier, I would have tried it too.

People are busy and the animals are also busy.

Song Chuyi picked up a plastic bottle from somewhere to vent his energy, and ran around in the yard, almost bumping into the food everyone had prepared several times.

As for Song Dabotou? He was currently digging out flower pots at the south wall of the courtyard with his new little brother Manjikangkaka.

The two cats were clinging to the edge of a large flowerpot, digging in the pot with one paw. A lot of soil was dug out, and even the poor flower roots could be seen.

Song Tang had tried to stop them before, but after a while the two cats sneaked over again, as if the flowerpot had some magical power to attract them.

During this period, Song Tang and Gesang even placed the flower pots they dug out in a high place, but as soon as they put one pot up, they would go straight to the next one.

In the end, Song Tang and Gesan were speechless. Forget it, just take it. After all, it's just a pot of flowers.

…

When it was getting dark, everyone was chatting and laughing while completing all the preparations. Soon the aroma of grilled skewers wafted through the small courtyard.

While eating skewers and drinking wine, Zhang Shaoyang took out the guitar from his car, sang a few songs for everyone, and even led everyone to sing along.

"They are all old now~, where are they~"

"We just go our separate ways~"

"La la la la, la la la la, la la la, I miss her~".

Under the starry night sky, cats and dogs were playing in the yard.

The skewers of meat sizzled on the stove, and many young voices hummed softly to the simple accompaniment of guitar.

Even the boss Gesang was infected by Song Tang and the others, clapping his hands gently and humming along.

I don't know whether the look that flashed across his eyes was due to reluctance to leave these friends whom he had only known for two days, or because he was thinking of the good things that he had lost in the past.

Everyone had a smile on their face, immersed in the slightly sad atmosphere, with a gleam in their eyes.

Maybe it's regret, loss, the past? Or maybe it's joy, happiness, and everything in between.

"We just go our separate ways."

When the song ended, cheers and applause from everyone in the courtyard were heard, along with a scream from Ding Wei.

"Ah~~, my skewers are mushy!"

…

Early the next morning, Gesan stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched Song Tang and his group pack their luggage.

She was holding the meowing Mankiewicz in her arms. I guess the kitten was as reluctant to leave as she was.

Song Tang handed Song Da's head, who was also meowing at Kaka, to Qiongying who had already got in the car, and then walked to Gesan with a smile.

"Keep in touch."

Song Tang and Gesan hugged each other gently.

Gesan held Kaka in his left hand and hugged Song Tang with a smile.

"Keep in touch. I'll visit you if I have the chance to go to Kyoto in the future."

"Let's go." Song Tang let go of Gesan with a smile on his face.

"Take care of yourself."

…

When the convoy reached the end of the road and was about to turn, Song Tang still saw Gesan standing at the gate of the yard and waving his hand through the rearview mirror, even though he had become very small.

The journey of life is like this, with constant meeting and parting.

The two lines only have a node at the moment they intersect, and then they go their separate ways.

After calming down, Song Tang sat in the passenger seat and gently stroked the now quiet Song Da's head in his arms.

As for Song Chuyi, the heartless dog, he occupied the entire row of back seats and lay on his belly.

"Everyone, keep your mood up, we are about to start a new journey."

After refueling and getting on the road again, Zheng Long's voice was heard from the car console.

As a frequent traveler, he understands the feelings of Song Tang and other self-driving novice drivers very well. After all, he had also been through that time.

“Parting is the norm in life. There are still many unknowns waiting for us to explore, and new people and things waiting for us to meet.”

"Cheer up and drive carefully. National Highway G315 is a beautiful road. Don't miss the scenery along the way. It is a deserted but romantic road."

Zheng Long's voice cheered everyone up and made them look forward to the journey ahead.

At this time, Ding Wei's voice also came from the car platform.

"The entire journey is just over 300 kilometers, and we will pass through Gobi, grasslands, deserts, snow-capped mountains, lakes and Yadan landforms on the way."

"On the way, we will see the Qarhan Salt Lake, the second largest in the world and the largest in Asia, as well as the beautiful Xiaochaidan Lake and the internet-famous U-shaped desert highway."

After hearing what Ding Wei said, Song Tang couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It’s not that I’m curious about how much Ding Wei knows, but I’m surprised by the many lakes along the way.

Ding Wei has always been playing with Zheng Long and they go out together quite often, so of course he knows a lot.

It's just that due to his personality, he is not the one who can take the lead, so with Zheng Long around him, he doesn't have to worry about it.

The convoy was traveling through uninhabited desolate areas, and the only vehicles they occasionally encountered on the road were those coming from the same or opposite direction.

I don't know how long they drove, but just when Song Tang was about to fall asleep in the passenger seat, Zheng Long's voice was heard from the car console.

"We are heading to Xiaochaidan Lake. I think everyone must be tired after walking this way. Do you want to stop there and take a rest?"
