Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 234: The car won’t break down, right?

"Is this what you mean by going out for a stroll?"

Ni Ni looked at the Dunhuang Museum in front of her and looked at Meng Bai with a "black question mark" expression on her face.

"You didn't ask me where I was going."

Meng Bai casually threw the car keys over and said, "Or go wherever you want to go by yourself. Just don't forget to pick me up later."

Nini caught the key in a hurry, looked at it with a strange expression for a while, and finally returned it.

"Forget it. It's a rare opportunity to come here and experience 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.”

Nini coughed lightly and changed the subject: "This museum looks quite new."

Meng Bai did not tease her anymore and explained, "Before I came here, I saw on the Internet that this is a new museum area that was built a few years ago."

"You actually looked up information in advance." You really want to come.

"Yes, I wanted to come here when I watched the documentary "Hexi Corridor" last year, but I never had the time. This time is just the right time."

As Meng Bai was talking, he saw that the girl had taken off her scarf and sunglasses, and couldn't help asking, "Why, aren't you afraid of being photographed?"

"I'm already at the museum, so what if I'm photographed?" Nini said nonchalantly.

"The female star returned to the hotel with someone else."

"Female stars and people visiting museums."

The latter one sounds full of righteousness.

The museum is free to visit, so just go in. As soon as you enter the entrance of the exhibition area, you will see a three-meter-high painted mural.

Compared with the Provincial Museum in Lanzhou, the place in Dunhuang is not big and there are not many exhibits, but they all have strong regional characteristics.

Comic strip-like mural bricks, lifelike clay sculptures, Tang and Song dynasty colored glaze ornaments, and silk scrolls that record the Silk Road...

"Why do the silk cloth and scrolls here look so new?"

Nini looked at the exhibits in the glass display case and asked curiously.

"Have you ever heard 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 severe that the cultural relics are basically mummified."

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.

The vast majority of written materials unearthed in China currently come from the Gobi Desert and desert in the northwest.

Ni Ni didn't know much about the preservation of cultural relics, but when it came to drying, she was deeply impressed.

"It wasn't until I came to the North that I realized that you can leave uneaten potato chips out in the open."

As a Jinling native, she simply loves the place that she has never returned to.

In fact, if you calm down and take a look, 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 visited all the exhibition halls.

"call--"

After walking out of the exhibition area, he stretched his body and let out a long breath.

Eh? Where's Nini?
When the two first entered, they were still watching together, but because of their different preferences and speeds, they separated as they walked.

I turned around the exhibition hall, but didn't find anyone.

Meng Bai was standing at the door and was about to make a phone call to ask, when he suddenly saw the girl walking out of the cultural and creative peripheral store next door.

"Teacher Meng, I have a gift for you."

Nini came over and put a hat on Meng Bai's head. Then she stepped back to look at him and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I thought it would look good on you just now. My vision is right."

Meng Bai took off his hat and took a look. It was a black wide-brimmed basin hat. However, the brims on both sides were slightly rolled up, making it look a bit like a cowboy hat.

The hat is also printed with elements and patterns of the Dunhuang Flying Apsaras murals, which looks mysterious and is really beautiful.

"Thanks."

Meng Bai put on his hat and thanked him, "It's a pity that I have nothing to give in return."

"No need. Just consider it as a thank you gift from Teacher Meng for bringing me cultural baptism today. Besides, I bought one for myself as well."

After saying that, she pointed to her head.

Only then did Meng Bai realize that she had changed her hat. The element pattern was 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's 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 traveling, Nini is a good companion.

He is not picky about where to go or what to eat, and 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 so much crowding.

After dinner, I went to the night market for a stroll.

However, when she got here, Ni Ni could not be as comfortable as she was in the museum, and she had on all three celebrity outfits: sunglasses, hat and mask.

It was almost time, so the two prepared to go back before it got dark.

The car was driving on the vast Gobi Desert Highway. It was difficult to see another car for miles around. A desolate atmosphere arose.

"Hey, what's that over there?"

Nini asked, pointing at a large dark area not far away.

Meng Bai took a look and said, "It should be a herd of wild horses."

"Mustang!" Ni Ni shouted, "It's still early, why not stop and take a picture."

"Okay." Meng Bai said nonchalantly, "It's not safe to park on the side of the road, drive inside."

After saying that, he found a stable place, turned the direction, and drove the car into the sand.

As soon as you leave the road, you can immediately feel the unevenness of the ground.

Fortunately, the car has strong power, so apart from the heavy dust it raises, it can still move forward.

The car was parked not too far from the herd of wild horses. Nini took out her mobile phone to take pictures, while Meng Bai got out of the car and leaned against the door to look at the scenery.

"Crack! Crack!"

The simulated shutter sounds of the mobile phone rang out one after another. Nini took pictures of the herd of horses, and then took a few selfies.

Unfortunately, I left in such a hurry that I didn’t bring my 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.

She turned around and was about to greet Meng Bai, but when she looked over there, she was stunned.

Meng Bai leaned against the car, the setting sun shining obliquely from behind him, surrounding him with a halo of light.

Coupled with the setting sun over the long river and the vast desert, this moment is like a silhouette painting.

Nini pursed her lips. Even if you don’t look at her face, the atmosphere is amazing.

What's more, Teacher Meng's face is an extra bonus.

Subconsciously, she picked up her phone again and took a photo.

"Crack!"

The shutter sounded, and Meng Bai, who was looking into the distance, came to his senses. Looking back, he saw Ni Ni standing there not far away, holding her phone in her hand.

He raised his eyebrows, turned around and shouted at her, "Are you done shooting? It's almost done, hurry up and go back."

"Ah good!"

Nini, who was awakened, felt her heart beating faster and her cheeks flushed.

Fortunately, the sun was setting at that time, so it couldn't be seen.

She quickly walked into the car, and only after she sat down in the passenger seat did she regain some of her sanity.

He secretly glanced at Meng Bai beside him and saw that he didn't seem to notice his actions just now, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

After carefully looking at the photo she had just taken, Nini clicked a few times and put it into a hidden folder.

"Fasten your seat belt."

Meng Bai gave an instruction and then turned the car key.

"Toot-toot-toot. Toot-toot-toot."

The engine started, but then died down, 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 remained the same.

Shit, he cursed inwardly, could the car have broken down?
