Chapter 234 The car didn't break down, did it?
"Is this what you said about going out for a walk?"
Ni Ni looked at the Dunhuang Museum in front of her, and looked at Meng Bai with a "black question mark" expression.
"You didn't ask me where I was going."
Meng Bai threw the car keys over: "Or go wherever you want to go, and don't forget to pick me up later."
Ni Ni caught the keys in a hurry, looked at them with a strange expression for a while, and finally returned them.
"Forget it, it's a rare opportunity to feel the influence of history and culture."
Meng Bai looked at her suspiciously: "You don't have a driver's license, do you?"
"...I'm just too lazy to learn."
Ni Ni coughed lightly and changed the subject: "This museum looks quite new."
Meng Bai didn't tease her anymore, and explained: "Before I came, I saw on the Internet that this was a new museum area built a few years ago."
"You actually checked the information in advance." You really want to come.
"Yes, I wanted to come last year when I watched the documentary "Hexi Corridor", but I never had time. This time is just right."
Meng Bai said, and seeing the girl take off her scarf and sunglasses, he couldn't help asking: "Why, aren't you afraid of being photographed?"
"I'm already in the museum, what can I do if I'm photographed?" Ni Ni said indifferently.
"The female star went back to the hotel with someone."
"The female star visited the museum with someone."
The latter one sounded full of righteousness.
The museum is free to visit, so just go in. As soon as you walk into the exhibition area gate, you will see a three-meter-high painted mural.
Compared with the provincial museum in Lanzhou, Dunhuang is not big and there are not many exhibits, but they are all very regional.
Mural bricks like comic strips, lifelike clay sculptures, Tang and Song Dynasty glazed ornaments, and silk scrolls that record the Silk Road...
"Why do the silk cloth and scrolls here look so new?"
Ni Ni asked curiously, looking at the exhibits in the glass display case.
"Have you ever heard of the saying, 'Dry for a thousand years, wet for a thousand years, half dry and half wet for half a year'? The dryness here is so high that the cultural relics basically have the gift of mummification."
Meng Bai explained to her that a dry and light-proof environment is very conducive to the preservation of cultural relics, especially bamboo slips and paper.
At present, a large part of the written materials unearthed in China come from the Gobi Desert and desert in the northwest.
Ni Ni didn't know much about the preservation of cultural relics, but she was very impressed by dryness.
"I didn't know until I came to the north that I could leave potato chips open if I couldn't finish them."
As a Jinling native, she simply loved the place that didn't return to the south.
In fact, if you calm down and look at it, the museum is really a good place to go.
The only problem is that the Dunhuang Museum is a little small. Meng Bai walked around slowly for more than an hour and finished walking through several exhibition halls.
"Huh——"
After walking out of the exhibition area, he stretched his body and let out a long breath.
Eh? Where is Ni Ni?
When the two first entered, they were still looking together, but because of their different preferences and speeds, they walked away.
I turned around the exhibition hall and didn't find anyone.
Meng Bai was standing at the door and was about to call to ask, when he suddenly found this girl coming out of the cultural and creative peripheral store next to him.
"Teacher Meng, I'll give you a gift."
Ni Ni came over and put a hat on Meng Bai's head. Then she stepped back and took a look, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I thought it would look good on you just now, and my vision was right."
Meng Bai took off the hat and took a look. It was a black wide-brimmed basin hat. However, the brims on both sides were slightly rolled up, and it looked a bit like a cowboy hat.
The hat was also printed with elements and patterns of the Dunhuang Flying Apsaras murals, which looked mysterious and really good-looking.
"Thank you."
Meng Bai put on the hat and thanked him: "It's a pity that I have nothing to return the gift."
"No, just consider it a thank you gift for Teacher Meng's taking me to experience the cultural baptism today. Besides, I bought one myself."
After saying that, she pointed to her head.
Meng Bai then realized that she had changed her hat, and the elements and patterns were also in a similar style, but it was a baseball cap.
"What are we going to do next?" Ni Ni said, "How about we go eat something? I'm a little hungry."
"Okay, there is a night market not far away. I heard that the mutton yellow noodles in Dunhuang taste good. Do you want to try it?"
"Okay, let's go!"
I have to say that if you go out to travel, Ni Ni is a good partner.
She is not picky about where to go and what to eat, and she is always full of enthusiasm.
As a tourist city, Dunhuang has a huge number of tourists on weekdays. Fortunately, it is still the off-season, so there is not that kind of crowd.
After eating, I went to the night market again.
However, when I got here, Ni Ni could not be as comfortable as she was in the museum. The three-piece suit of sunglasses, hat and mask was all matched.
It was almost time, and while it was not dark yet, the two prepared to go back.
The car was driving on the vast Gobi Desert Highway. It was difficult to see a second car for several miles around, and a desolate atmosphere arose.
"Hey, what's over there?"
Ni Ni pointed to a large dark area not far away and asked.
Meng Bai took a look and said, "It should be a herd of wild horses."
"Wild horses!" Ni Ni shouted, "It's still early, why don't we stop and take some pictures?"
"Okay." Meng Bai said indifferently, "It's not safe to park on the side of the road, let's drive in."
After that, he found a stable place, turned the direction, and drove the car into the sand.
As soon as he left the road, he could immediately feel the unevenness of the ground.
Fortunately, the car's power was still strong, so except for the dust that was a bit heavy, it could barely run.
After parking the car at a location not far from the herd of wild horses, Ni Ni took a mobile phone to take pictures, and Meng Bai got out of the car and leaned against the car door to look at the scenery.
"Click! Click!"
The simulated shutter sounds of the mobile phone rang one after another. Ni Ni took a picture of the herd of horses, and then took a few selfies in return.
Unfortunately, she was in a hurry to get out and didn't bring a selfie stick.
After taking pictures for more than ten minutes, looking at the rows of photos in the album, she finally put away her phone with satisfaction.
Turning back and preparing to greet Meng Bai, she was stunned when she looked over.
Meng Bai leaned against the car, the setting sun shone down from behind him, surrounding him with a halo.
Coupled with the setting sun over the long river and the vast desert, this moment was like a silhouette painting.
Ni Ni pursed her lips. Even if she didn't look at his face, the atmosphere was amazing.
What's more, Teacher Meng's face was a special bonus.
Subconsciously, she picked up her phone again and took a photo.
"Snap!"
The shutter sounded, and Meng Bai, who was looking into the distance, came back to his senses. Looking back, she saw Ni Ni standing there holding her phone not far away. He
raised his eyebrows, turned around and shouted to her: "Are you done shooting? It's almost done, hurry up and go back."
"Ah, good!"
Ni Ni, who was awakened, felt her heartbeat faster and her cheeks flushed.
Fortunately, the setting sun was like fire, so it couldn't be seen.
She walked a few steps to the car, and only after she sat down in the passenger seat did she regain some of her sanity. She
secretly glanced at Meng Bai beside her, and was relieved to see that he didn't seem to notice her actions just now.
Carefully looking at the photo she had just taken, Ni Ni clicked a few times and put it in a hidden folder.
"Fasten your seat belts."
Meng Bai reminded, and then turned the car key.
"Beep--thump--thump. Beep--thump--thump."
The engine sounded, but then there was no sound, leaving only a series of electronic ignition sounds.
Meng Bai let out a light exclamation, and turned the key a few more times, but it was still the same.
Shit, he cursed in his heart, could the car be broken?
