Chapter 245



He Xuebin reached into the bamboo pole, but instead of taking the note out, he pushed it back in.

After realizing this, He Xuebin froze: "Well, I think I pushed it in."

"What?" Xu Qi hurriedly took the bamboo pole from He Xuebin's hand and looked inside. He was also a little stunned when he saw it. "Playing with the ball, how did you get it so deep like this?"

"I just put my finger in there, and it went in right away." He Xuebin gestured.

I suspect he was driving, and I have evidence.

[What the above said is right, push it up]

【Hahaha, based on this paragraph, can I report it?】

Is this a dirty joke? (Funny)

[My Dabin is amazing, he actually did this to the bamboo pole...]

[Tsk tsk tsk, today's hot search topic is here]

When netizens were finishing their jokes, Fang Xiuzhu found a dry branch on the ground and hit the hollow bamboo pole a few times, and the note inside fell out.

Lu Chuanbei walked forward, picked it up and opened the note.

After seeing the contents above, Lu Chuanbei was a little surprised and unfolded it towards Fang Xiuzhu and the others: "Brother Fang, take a look."

Xu Qi immediately saw the large characters at the top of the note: "Visit Permit?"

"What does this mean? Can we enter the Loulan ruins with this?" He Xuebin asked.

Fang Xiuzhu looked at the red seals of the Tourism Bureau and the Cultural Bureau below and said, "It should be."

Lu Chuanbei looked at them: "Then should we go in?"

"Of course." He Xuebin said hurriedly, "Since we're here, it would be a shame if we don't go in and take a look. Besides, we have a visitor permit now. If we don't go in, it would be a wasted trip."

“But we have to pay to get in.”

"What? I have to pay for it?" He Xuebin looked at Lu Chuanbei in disbelief. "Don't we have to go in with this visitor permit?"

"No." Lu Chuanbei pointed to the bottom line and said, "It's above. The entrance fee is 3,000 yuan per person, and there's another 500 yuan for site protection."

"The production team is kidding us, aren't they?" He Xuebin was furious. "If we had money, would we come here looking for clues to earn gas money?"

"But if we don't go in, what will happen to the clues?" Xu Qi said worriedly.

"Since the production team came up with this awful idea, they definitely won't really prevent us from getting in." Fang Xiuzhu speculated, "Maybe they've already arranged for us to earn ticket sales."

"In that case, do we need to take this visitor permit to the entrance and ask for it first?"

"It's possible."

"Then let's go over and ask."

Lu Chuanbei and others arrived at the entrance of the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan and handed the visiting permits in their hands to the ticket inspector at the door.

"I'm sorry, we only have this visitor permit, but we don't have money to buy a ticket. I don't know..."

Before Lu Chuanbei could finish his words, the ticket inspector suddenly understood and said, "I see. You are the group that came to plant reed grids for our unit in exchange for a visit permit, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Chuanbei and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, then nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's us."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? The things have been sitting here for ages." The ticket inspector said, and then shouted to the front: "Hurry up, the grass-planting grid people are coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chuanbei and the others saw a green truck in the convoy of the program crew that had been following them closely, and it drove towards them.

"Very good, the reed grid that the ticket inspector has been putting up for most of the day, could it be on this car?" Lu Chuanbei has already seen through the program crew's routine.

"Why am I not surprised at all by this operation?" Xu Qi couldn't help but complain.

"As expected of the program team, this operation is quite cool." He Xuebin no longer had any ideas.

Sure enough, when the green truck drove in front of Lu Chuanbei and others, the staff in the car quickly got out, opened the compartment, and revealed the reeds inside the car.

Then, a local guide got out of the car and taught Lu Chuanbei and others how to make grass grids with reeds.

① The grass grid is also called "wind wall" locally. It is a grid-shaped windbreak wall made of reeds, rice straw, wheat straw and other materials on the moving sand dunes to weaken the invasion of wind and sand.

The guide used a shovel to draw squares of about one meter by one meter on the ground on a sand dune not far from the Loulan ruins.

Seeing this, netizens began to discuss it.

[Are you going to plant the reeds one by one in this square?]

[If you plant them one by one, they will take forever, so you must plant them in handfuls!]

[Even if you do it one handful at a time, it's still very tiring. You have to dig a lot of holes.]

[It's obvious from the above comments that they've never seen how to plant grass grids. These reeds aren't planted, but planted directly on the grid lines with a shovel.]

[Stuck it in there? How is it possible? How can I stick so many reeds in there?]

While netizens were discussing the matter, the guide with a somewhat weathered face picked up the reeds lying nearby and placed them on the marked grid.

He picked up a shovel and thrust it hard into one end of the reed, and the reed, which had been flattened, quickly stood up.

This move stunned the netizens and Lu Chuanbei and others on the side.

"...Just like that, you need to insert the reeds about 15 centimeters into the ground, and the exposed part should be more than 20 centimeters. This is the only way to ensure that the grass grid can firmly block the wind and sand." The guide had no idea how much shock his actions brought to them.

"Have you learned it?" The guide asked Lu Chuanbei and the others calmly, as if he would demonstrate it to them again if they said they didn't know how to do it.

Lu Chuanbei quickly came to his senses: "I learned it."

"I can do it too." He Xuebin took a shovel and a reed and walked towards the sand dune.

The guide watched him and said, "This is your first time making a grass grid. If your hands aren't strong enough, you can just use your feet to push the shovel down hard. This will make it easier."

"No need, I can do it." He Xuebin said, and then he imitated the guide and started drawing square lines on the sand dunes.

At first, He Xuebin felt good about himself, but when he turned around and looked at the grid lines drawn by the guide, he immediately raised his foot and silently erased the lines he had just drawn.

When the guide saw this, he suddenly realized, "Oh right, when you first started drawing the lines, if they weren't even, you needed to use a rope to balance them."

As he said that, he quickly went to the car and took down the knotted hemp rope.

If it weren't for the guide's honest look, He Xuebin almost thought he did it on purpose.

With the help of hemp rope, drawing lines becomes much easier.

Song Tiantian and the others were able to get started too. They divided the work and cooperated with each other. Two of them used ropes to measure lines on the sand dunes, and two used small shovels to draw on the ground.

Soon, rows of neat squares were arranged neatly on the sand dunes.

Lu Chuanbei and his companions held handfuls of reeds and placed them on the edge of the grid. Following the guide's demonstration, they used a shovel to shovel hard at one end of the reeds.

At the beginning, He Xuebin could still rely on brute force to push the shovel down, but after a few strokes, his arm began to go numb.

He glanced to the side and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he stepped directly towards the shovel.

"Isn't it? I said it would be easier for you to just go straight to the foot."

Hearing this, He Xuebin hurriedly looked to the side and saw that the guide who had been on the other side had walked to his side at some point.

When He Xuebin saw this, he felt sick all over.

[Hahaha, it's great to be caught red-handed.]

[Dabin is worthy of being Dabin, he has never let me down]

[Pfft… This guide is a natural black, so funny!]

[Hahaha, today's laugh has been achieved]

After the guide discovered that he had secretly touched his feet, He Xuebin gave up on himself. He grabbed a handful of reeds without any concealment and spread them along the grid line. He kept shoveling the reeds down along the grid line.

It was also said that the efficiency was improved immediately.

The guide nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you are a good boy, you are obviously a good hand at making square grids."

"Haha, really? I also think I'm an expert at making squares!" He Xuebin looked up proudly, completely forgetting the embarrassing scene of himself almost getting into the reeds.

While Lu Chuanbei was busy making reed grids, the rosy glow gradually covered the entire sky, and the originally scorching sun gradually moved towards the horizon.

Song Tiantian stood on a sand dune, gazing at the desert bathed in the setting sun and rosy clouds. The golden sand, stained by the clouds, added a touch of softness. Then there was the solemn road and the poplar trees swaying in the wind. "It's so beautiful."

"Yeah." Xiangfangnan was also amazed by the scene before him and said, "I didn't expect the sunset in the desert to be so beautiful."

"Uh-huh"

[This is my first time seeing a desert sunset live, it’s truly spectacular…]

When I heard ancient poems describing sunsets in the desert before, they were just descriptions, but now I can finally match those lines with the images.

【Seeing this, I want to travel to the desert again】

[For the first time, I felt that compared to watching the sunset at sea, going to the desert can also show a different kind of beauty.]

So, I just went to Hainan and now I have to buy a ticket to the desert, right?

[Great, I've found my next travel destination. I don't have to choose anymore.]

Now I understand why the Tourism Bureau issued a permit to Lu Chuanbei and his group. It's like a walking guidebook...

[The truth is revealed above, but it’s too late. I was still persuaded. What should I do? ]
