36.
"Put your feet down." Duanmu glanced at Yu Xiaobu's feet that were happily up on the center console.When traveling long distances, Yu Xiaobu likes to relax like this.
"You loathe me so much." Yu Xiaobu muttered dissatisfied.
"This is one of the most dangerous actions for you to sit in the passenger seat." Duanmu said seriously, "If a car accident occurs and the airbag pops up, you can imagine what will happen."
A terrifying image quickly flashed through Yu Xiaobu's mind, and he immediately put his feet down in fright. "Is the leg broken?"
"Not only that, many people died from being hit on the head with their own legs."
Yu Xiaobu was really scared. "I've never heard of this. Let me just say that what we learn is useless. It's really useful, and we don't learn much."
Duanmu nodded.After a pause, Duanmu whispered to himself, "If that woman knew a little traffic knowledge and knew that the driver would not be able to see her under that light and angle, she would not have stepped out so recklessly. Tragedy can be avoided." After speaking, Duanmu sighed slightly.
Yu Xiaobu stretched out his hand to touch Duanmu's hand holding the steering wheel, and rarely said a word.
"Before we go to Las Vegas, I'm going to take you to a national park first. You should be mentally prepared." Duanmu said this sentence lightly but in a very serious manner.
"Preparing for what?" Yu Xiaobu felt that Duanmu would not use such a tone for no reason.
"Sunscreen, water, and mental preparation. It is estimated that it will be 50 degrees there." Duanmu looked at the blue sky where he could not see a cloud. Because of the extreme heat and dryness, it was a kind of grayish blue.
"Ah? What's the situation?" Yu Xiaobu had long been frightened by the desert outside the car, and now he heard that he was going to a hotter place. "You mean Death Valley?"
Duanmu praised, "The homework is well done. This is the hottest and driest place in the United States. Therefore, most of the daily high temperature statistics in the United States simply ignore this place." After thinking about it, he added, "Every time I enter Before Las Vegas, stop in Death Valley."
"Really? Are you sure you want to go to the scenic spot that I automatically filtered out? I'm a fish, how can I deal with such a place. Ahhh..." Yu Xiaobu shook his head exaggeratedly.
The fear turned into fear, and when he really entered the Valley of Death, Yu Xiaobu was more excited than Duanmu at first.
Yu Xiaobu smeared himself with sunscreen, and put on a long coat at Duanmu's request.He stepped out of the car door and let out a scream.
A suffocating wave of hot air rushed over.
Duanmu locked the door.Take a step forward along the trail.Yu Xiaobu caught up with Duanmu and found that her face was full of excitement.
"Hey, slow down, I'm dying of heat." Yu Xiaobu was like a fish out of water, walking heavily, unable to breathe at all, she didn't know how to inhale the hot air into her lungs.
"The slower you go, the longer you stay and the hotter it gets. You'd better hurry up."
At the first point, Yu Xiaobu still walked the whole way.From the second point, Yu Xiaobu could only walk a few steps forward, then hid in the car.
"Look at my phone, it seems to be about to explode. Yu Xiaobu put the phone in the air conditioner to cool down." She couldn't take a few photos, the phone stopped working, and the high temperature alarm.
Duanmu seems to be enjoying the torment of this scorching heat very much. There is no sweat on his body, and it is so dry that it is impossible for sweat to stay on the surface of the skin.
She stood alone in the scorching desert outside the car.Feel the beauty around you, and the dead silence.The scenery here is not scary, but beautiful.
"Are you still in the car?" Yu Xiaobu had to climb out of the car to accompany Duanmu's self-torture.
"Feel the breath of death here, and you will understand Las Vegas better." Duanmu's voice became hoarse.
"Let's go in, I understand, I understand. How do you say it? We live to die, right?" Yu Xiaobu said without soul.
"This is called the devil's golf course. Only devils can play golf in such a place." Duanmu pointed to the mountains in the distance, "there is the artist's palette. We will drive in and show you carefully."
"I think it should be called God's Palette. Artists can't survive here."
When their car drove into the mountains, Yu Xiaobu refused to step out of the car no matter what. "You go, you go. Don't run too far."
Duanmu did not bring a mobile phone, and there is no signal here.She didn't need to take pictures either, she just wanted to walk along the trail for a while.She has been through it many times, which is a homework that a psychiatrist needs to do repeatedly.
Yu Xiaobu is a happy and simple person, she can only feel the heat and discomfort, at most she can praise the beauty here.It is impossible for her to understand the deeper meaning.
Only people like He Ren would like this place.She will certainly write long speeches eloquently.He Ren said "loneliness, meaninglessness and death", look around, how accurately these three words sum up!
When Duanmu came back, he saw Yu Xiaobu anxiously standing outside the car.
As soon as Duanmu's figure appeared, Yu Xiaobu galloped over, his movements becoming extremely vigorous. "Why did you come back? You scared me to death. If I had known this, I would have gone with you." She complained out of breath.
Duanmu got into the car, and the cool air from the air conditioner blew on his body, as if he had returned to the world.
"Goodbye, Death Valley!"
While driving, Duanmu told Yu Xiaobu the origin of the name Death Valley.
During the California Gold Rush in the 19th century, a group of Europeans who went to California to seek gold tried to take a shortcut and walked into this canyon.For weeks they were unable to find their way out of the valley.There are almost no living creatures here, but there is fresh water.They survived by killing a few cows and lighting a fire with wagon wood.Finally walked out.When one of the women walked out of the valley, she turned her head and said, "Goodbye, Death Valley!" Hence the name.
"Huh? They came out? I thought they were all dead." Yu Xiaobu used his imagination again.
"Only one person died. One of the survivors later wrote an autobiography "49 Years of Death Valley", which happened in 1849."
"This story is great. They turned out to take a shortcut to pan for gold. Haha..." Yu Xiaobu laughed heartlessly.
Duanmu slightly shook his head invisibly.
They moved on and finally arrived in Las Vegas before dinner.
Before Yu Xiaobu even walked to the front desk of the hotel, he was shocked by the endless casino.What is ostentatious, what is grotesque, and is there a better way to interpret these two words? !
He Ren walked into Xinqiao with the cake, during her usual consultation time.
Qin Yue raised his head unexpectedly, "He Ren? Doctor Duanmu is not here, didn't she tell you?"
He Ren smiled politely, and raised the cake box in his hand, "Qin Yue, I'm here to have afternoon tea with you. I was worried that you wouldn't be here either. Need to sit down."
