Chapter 1448 Extra Chapter (Seventy)
"Dear, fasten your seat belts, we are about to start the next journey!" Tan Yue sat in the driver's seat, his mouth corners raised, his eyes full of expectation, and turned to look at Chen Ziyu in the co-pilot.
Chen Ziyu winked playfully, gave him a sweet smile, and gently pressed the play button on the phone, and the cheerful music instantly filled the entire car.
The car slowly drove out of the Tubo city area and headed towards the mysterious Jiaohe Ancient City. The Gobi Desert on both sides of the road was like a golden ocean under the sunshine. Occasionally, a few tenacious camel thorns flashed by, swaying gently in the breeze, as if telling an ancient story.
More than an hour later, the outline of Jiaohe Ancient City gradually appeared in front of us.
Tan Yue found a parking space, and the two held hands and walked towards the ancient city impatiently.
As soon as he stepped into this ancient relic, Chen Ziyu was shocked by the scene in front of him. The earthy yellow buildings still stood tall under the erosion of time, as if showing people their former glory.
"Ayue, look at these buildings, they seem to carry a lot of history." Chen Ziyu said softly, her eyes full of awe. Tan Yue held her hand tightly and said gently: "Yes, they have witnessed countless stories, just like our love, it will stand the test of time."
They walked along the narrow streets, touching the ancient walls, imagining the prosperity here thousands of years ago.
Suddenly, Chen Ziyu found a small niche in a corner, which seemed to hide something.
She approached curiously, and it turned out to be a small copper coin. Although it was rusty, it still showed the traces of time.
"Ayue, come and see, is this very memorable?" Chen Ziyu shouted excitedly.
Tan Yue came over, looked at the copper coin, and said with a smile: "This must be a gift from God to us, let us take it as a token of love."
Chen Ziyu carefully put the copper coin into his pocket, his heart full of joy.
After leaving Jiaohe Ancient City, they took a short rest and went to their next destination-Wanfo Palace.
Along the way, Chen Ziyu leaned on Tan Yue's shoulder, recalling every bit of the ancient city just now, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Tan Yue drove the car attentively, occasionally looking sideways at Chen Ziyu, his eyes full of love.
When the Wanfo Palace appeared in front of him, Chen Ziyu was attracted by its grandeur.
Walking into the Wanfo Palace, one after another exquisite Buddha statues came into view. The Buddha statues had different expressions, some kind, some solemn, as if telling people about the profoundness of Buddhism.
Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu visited each Buddha statue slowly with a pious heart, feeling the strong religious atmosphere here.
In front of a huge reclining Buddha, Chen Ziyu stopped, she looked at the Buddha statue quietly, and an inexplicable touch surged in her heart. Tan Yue stood beside her and gently held her hand. The two silently made a wish, hoping that their love could be like this Buddha statue, eternal and unchanging.
After visiting the Wanfo Palace, the sky gradually darkened.
They sat on the steps in front of the Wanfo Palace, watching the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the earth, and the whole world was dyed orange-red.
Chen Ziyu leaned on Tan Yue's arms, feeling his warm embrace, her heart full of happiness.
"Ayue, I'm really happy today, thank you for accompanying me here." Chen Ziyu said softly.
Tan Yue gently stroked her hair and said gently: "As long as you are happy, everything I do is worth it. In the future, I will take you to more places and see the beauty of the world."
The sunset gradually fell, and the two got up and walked hand in hand to the car.
Although the day's journey was a little tiring, their hearts were full of sweetness and satisfaction.
On this beautiful night, they set off on the road back to Tubo City Hotel with full memories and visions of the future.
In the hustle and bustle of the bustling city, Chen Ziyu longed for an escape.
She spent most of her time on work, which put a lot of pressure on herself.
Tan Yue took her to explore the freedom and unknown in the vast world. Today, they planned to explore the heat of the Kumta Desert and the tranquility of Maza Village.
The sun was shining brightly that day.
Chen Ziyu wore a light blue dress, her hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and her eyes flashed with anticipation.
Tan Yue carried a travel bag and put the luggage into the trunk in an orderly manner.
They drove the off-road vehicle slowly out of the city, and the two of them felt more relaxed.
The scorching sun sprinkled on the earth without reservation, and the air was filled with a dry and warm atmosphere, as if welcoming their arrival.
Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu sat in the car, looking at the road in front of them that was coated with a layer of gold by the morning sun, and their hearts were full of expectations for the unknown journey. The trunk was full of luggage, and the snacks and water carefully prepared by Chen Ziyu were placed on the back seat.
Their destination was the distant and mysterious Tubo City Kumta Desert.
Tan Yue drove the car attentively, and the roar of the engine broke the tranquility of the early morning. They embarked on this self-driving trip full of romance and adventure.
Along the way, the scenery was picturesque.
The high-rise buildings in the city were gradually left behind, replaced by vast fields and rolling mountains.
The sun shone on Chen Ziyu's face through the car window. She closed her eyes, feeling the gentle caress of the breeze, and her heart was full of comfort.
Tan Yue drove the car attentively, occasionally turning his head to look at Chen Ziyu, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
After a long drive, they stopped the car for a rest.
The scorching sun and dry air here are completely different from the city where they live, making them feel a different kind of novelty.
After resting, they continued to move towards the Kumta Desert.
When the edge of the desert came into view, Chen Ziyu couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"
In front of him was a golden sea of sand, with rolling sand dunes, shining brightly under the sun, as if it was a dream world paved with golden silk by nature.
Tan Yue parked the car and walked towards the desert with Chen Ziyu.
The sand under his feet was fine and hot, leaving deep footprints with every step.
They held hands and walked slowly into the depths of the desert, feeling the vastness and mystery of the desert.
"Look, that sand dune is so high!" Chen Ziyu pointed to a towering sand dune in the distance and said.
Tan Yue looked in the direction of her finger, with a glimmer of challenge in his eyes: "Let's climb up and see how it goes?"
Chen Ziyu nodded excitedly.
So they began to climb towards the sand dune.
The sand was soft, and they had to slide down a little with every step, so it was very difficult to climb up.
But they supported each other, encouraged each other, and moved up step by step.
Sweat soaked their clothes, but it did not reduce their enthusiasm at all.
Finally, they climbed to the top of the sand dune.
Standing on the top of the sand dune, overlooking the surrounding sand sea, a sense of joy of conquest surged in their hearts.
At this time, the sun was setting, the sky was dyed orange-red, and the whole desert was shrouded in a golden afterglow, beautiful as a dream.
Chen Ziyu opened her arms, closed her eyes, felt the breeze, and was moved: "Ayue, thank you for accompanying me here, the scenery here is so beautiful."
Tan Yue gently hugged her and whispered in her ear: "As long as you like, I will take you to more beautiful places in the future."
After sitting on the sand dune for a while, they began to walk down slowly.
The night in the desert came quickly, and soon, the sky was dotted with stars.
They found a flat place, spread a blanket, lay down, and looked up at the starry sky.
"Look, that star is so bright!" Chen Ziyu pointed to a star in the sky and said.
Tan Yue looked in the direction of her finger and said with a smile: "That is the North Star, it will always guide us."
They just lay there quietly, looking at the starry sky, feeling each other's heartbeat and breathing.
Occasionally, there are meteors across the night sky, and they will make a beautiful wish together.
In this vast desert, their love seems to become more pure and firm.
It was late at night, and the temperature in the desert gradually dropped.
Tan Yue got up, took the coat from the car, and gently put it on Chen Ziyu.
Chen Ziyu sat up, leaned in Tan Yue's arms, feeling his warmth.
"Ayue, do you think we will always be so happy?" Chen Ziyu asked softly.
Tan Yue hugged her tightly and said firmly: "Of course, we will always be together and experience more beautiful things."
The next morning, after watching the sunrise in the desert, they set out on the road to Maza Village.
Although they were a little tired, their hearts were full of sweetness and satisfaction.
This trip to the Kumta Desert not only allowed them to appreciate the magnificence of nature, but also sublimated their love in this golden sea of sand.
The car slowly drove away from the desert. Chen Ziyu looked back at the gradually receding sea of sand, silently looking forward to the next encounter with it, and also looking forward to creating more beautiful memories with Tan Yue.
Maza Village is located at the foot of the Huoyan Mountain. It is an ancient Uyghur village with a long history.
Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu did not rest all the way and soon arrived at Maza Village.
When they walked into the village, it seemed as if they had traveled back to the past.
The old adobe houses were scattered on both sides of the narrow streets, and the walls were covered with traces of time.
The people in the village were hospitable and friendly when they saw them, the foreign tourists.
An old Uyghur man came over and introduced the village's history and culture to them in not-so-fluent Mandarin.
Under the old man's guidance, they visited the village mosque.
Although the mosque is small in scale, it has a unique architectural style and is full of strong ethnic characteristics.
The sun shines on the ground through the colored glass windows, forming beautiful light and shadows.
Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu sat quietly in the corner of the mosque, feeling the tranquility and sacredness.
After leaving the mosque, they strolled through the streets of the village.
Occasionally, a few lambs ran past them, making "baa" sounds.
The air was filled with the aroma of baked naan and lamb skewers, which made people salivate.
They walked into a small restaurant and ordered local specialties.
The baked naan was fragrant and crispy, and the lamb skewers were tender and juicy, and every bite was full of strong Western flavor.
Chen Ziyu ate with gusto, while Tan Yue watched her with doting eyes.
In the evening, they came to the village square.
At this time, many villagers had gathered in the square. They sat together, playing the dutar and singing cheerful songs.
Seeing Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu, the villagers warmly invited them to join.
Chen Ziyu was a little shy at first, but with Tan Yue's encouragement, she still plucked up the courage to walk into the crowd.
Under the guidance of the villagers, she learned to dance the Uyghur dance.
Although her movements were a little unfamiliar, the smile on her face was extremely bright.
Tan Yue was also infected by the joyful atmosphere and sang and danced with the villagers.
After staying in Maza Village for one night, they were ready to set off for the ancient city of Gaochang.
Although the journey these days was a little tiring, their hearts were full of satisfaction and happiness.
The next day.
The morning sun gently sprinkled in the yard, and the breeze blew, and the leaves rustled.
Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu stood by the car, looking at the travel bags, photographic equipment and picnic baskets filled with snacks in the trunk, and their hearts were full of expectations for this trip.
This time, they decided to drive to the ancient city of Gaochang and Aidin Lake to explore the wonderful journey of history and nature.
"Let's go!" Chen Ziyu jumped into the car excitedly, fastened his seat belt, turned his head and looked at Tan Yue, with anticipation in his eyes. Tan Yue started the car with a smile, and the roar of the engine broke the tranquility of the early morning. They embarked on this journey full of unknowns and romance.
Along the way, the scenery on both sides of the road flashed quickly like a slide.
The outline of Maza Village gradually faded away, replaced by vast fields and rolling mountains.
Chen Ziyu rolled down the window, letting the breeze blow across his face wantonly, feeling the breath of freedom.
Tan Yue drove the car attentively, occasionally turning his head to look at Chen Ziyu, his mouth corners unconsciously raised, his eyes full of pampering.
After a period of driving, they soon arrived at the ancient city of Gaochang.
This ancient city still exudes a unique charm under the baptism of time.
The walls of the ancient city are tall and thick. Although some of them are incomplete, people can still feel its former glory.
They walked slowly along the streets of the ancient city hand in hand.
The stone road under my feet is full of traces of time, and every step seems to be stepping on the long river of history.
Most of the buildings on the roadside are only ruins, but from these ruins, one can still imagine the prosperous scene here in the past.
"What do you think would be so lively here hundreds of years ago?" Chen Ziyu asked curiously.
Tan Yue gently squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "Maybe there are merchants coming and going, travelers riding camels, and laughter from the streets and alleys."
They walked into the ruins of an ancient palace, and the sun shone through the dilapidated roof on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Chen Ziyu took out her camera and wanted to record this picture full of historical charm.
Tan Yue helped to adjust the angle and find the best shooting position for her.
