Chapter 444: Chapter 284: Refreshing the Minions in the Uninhabited Area_2

The Northeastern brother continued along the road leading deep into the Loess Plateau.

The atmosphere inside the car was very pleasant.

They started talking about their own stories, sharing the amusing incidents they had encountered on their journey.

Chen Yun didn’t use his superpower, he simply chatted calmly with an ordinary mindset.

From the conversation, it became apparent

that this Northeastern big brother was named Li Sihai.

Ever since he suddenly found himself becoming very unlucky a few years ago, he had started to travel by car. A certain remedy suggested that traveling to different places could alleviate bad luck.

Whether the bad luck had eased or not was unknown,

but Li Sihai truly fell in love with road trips.

After listening to Li Sihai for a while, Chen Yun couldn’t help but chuckle at the mishaps that befell him during his unlucky period.

Finding a beer bottle cap in a flatbread, finding mothballs in dumplings, hitting a nail when trying to swat a fly, going to Qingsong Temple to burn incense, and dropping a phone in the merit box and being unable to retrieve it...

Chen Yun didn’t know whether luck really existed,

or to be more precise, he was unsure if there was really something like luck, in the narrow sense of the term.

But...

with such an extent of misfortune,

it was really hard not to suspect that Li Sihai had been targeted by some kind of misfortune spirit, like a broom star.

The two of them continued their discussion for a good while.

Before long, the vehicle arrived at Lingchuan County.

After entering Lingchuan County, Chen Yun saw a vibrant scene through the car window.

Although this place was still relatively remote, the various crops planted in the fields shone exceptionally green under the sunlight, with a few small villages occasionally sprinkled between them.

The houses in the village were mostly earth-colored brick and tile structures, with rooftops covered in slate-grey tiles, harmoniously blending with the surrounding environment.

Li Sihai drove past several small villages, and the children in the villages would excitedly wave and greet Chen Yun and his silly dog Bai Jin.

Chen Yun returned their enthusiasm with a friendly smile, while Bai Jin curiously poked its head out and barked at the children, seemingly enjoying the interaction as well.

"Although Lingchuan County is small, it’s still best to have a car for mobility," Li Sihai said, "If you’d like, I can take you to see the town market. There should be local specialties and handicrafts there."

"Alright, then I’ll trouble you, Brother Si Hai,"

Chen Yun nodded.

Since he was here, it wouldn’t hurt to check out the culture on the fringe of the Loess Plateau.

"It’s no trouble, no trouble," Li Sihai said with a hearty laugh, "Let’s go there now."

Not long after, they reached the center of Lingchuan County.

Though it was a remote place,

it was still part of modern society, and most areas were not too desolate.

There weren’t towering skyscrapers, but there were a good number of small western-style buildings.

It was a little past three o’clock in the afternoon.

A bustling market was just starting to come alive, with both sides of the street filled with stalls selling fresh farm produce, handmade woven goods, and various snacks.

The air was filled with the aroma of food,

enticing passersby to take an involuntary sniff.

They wandered around the market for a while.

Although Chen Yun wasn’t hungry, he still sampled some local delicacies, such as hand-made cold noodles, roasted mutton skewers, and sweet candied haws.

Bai Jin also got some snacks and seemed to find everything novel and exciting.

After the market visit,

Chen Yun and Li Sihai parted ways.

It turned out that Li Sihai wasn’t really going in the same direction, he was just too enthusiastic in helping Chen Yun.

At this point, he was ready to continue driving toward his original destination.

Before parting,

Chen Yun gave this friend, met by chance, a bamboo flying sword.

Seeing that the object didn’t look too valuable,

Li Sihai didn’t hesitate to accept it.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Chen Yun, he drove off and disappeared from view.

Chen Yun silently watched Li Sihai depart.

Once he was truly out of sight and beyond the range of Transparent World Perception,

Chen Yun, accompanied by Bai Jin, set off on their own journey.

He didn’t plan on staying here.

His original destination wasn’t this place.

To be precise, although Lingchuan County was on his route, it was only a place he was passing through, and he didn’t originally plan on stopping here.

It was only because of Li Sihai’s overwhelming hospitality that he ended up stopping and having some fun.

Next,

Chen Yun intended to continue deep into the Loess Plateau.

Thinking this,

Chen Yun decisively started striding forward.

Though the Loess Plateau is a place of harsh natural conditions, due to its long human history and dense population distribution, most areas are inhabited, especially near rivers and convenient transportation.

However,

some remote mountainous areas of the Loess Plateau, due to severe natural conditions and backward economic circumstances,

have a sparse population and can be considered close to uninhabited.

The "uninhabited area" here doesn’t mean completely devoid of people, rather an area with a very low population density.

This point,

Chen Yun came to deeply understand after officially entering the Loess Plateau.

As he ventured deeper, the population density clearly decreased.

The distance between villages grew longer.

Sometimes, for many kilometers, one couldn’t see a single soul.

The roads became more rugged and uneven, and the scenery equally monotonous and desolate.

Fortunately, none of this affected Chen Yun.

Such a remote landscape, in fact, had its own unique charm.

Before long,

The sky gradually darkened.

The Sun slowly sank into the horizon, leaving behind a brilliant sunset.

At this time, the Loess Plateau was dyed an orange-red, the clouds as magnificent as blazing flames.

As the last ray of sunlight disappeared, the sky’s color shifted from fiery orange-red to a deep purple-blue, until it finally merged into the darkness of the night.

The scenery around became hazy, as the previously clear ravines and hills lost definition.

After the last trace of twilight vanished,

Stars began to appear one by one, dotting the deep blue canopy above.

As the night deepened, more and more stars emerged, forming a spectacular celestial tapestry.

On such a night,

The wind on the Loess Plateau became gentle.

Occasionally blowing by, it brought a hint of coolness.

The air was filled with a light dust scent.

It was tranquil all around.

Chen Yun stood on a high ground, looking out over the land gradually being enveloped by night. He felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility and peace.

In such an environment, all worries seemed to be left behind, leaving only the serenity of the mind and reverence for nature.

Of course...

Chen Yun actually didn’t have any worries to cast aside.

Even in the current tricky situation.

Chen Yun knew.

For ordinary people, finding suitable accommodation in this remote part of the Loess Plateau might be a problem.

But for him, this was not an issue.

He could use his special ability to find a safe harbor or simply travel by night in the wilds.

Sleep? Rest?

Unnecessary!

If Bai Jin wanted to sleep, he could do so in his arms or on his shoulder.

Chen Yun could let him experience what it’s like to be the ultimate human-mounted steadicam.

Thinking this,

Chen Yun, who had walked for a long time on a small but deserted road in the uninhabited area, suddenly sensed something with his Transparent World Perception.

In a place not far away, which should have been deserted,

There seemed to be...

An auto repair shop?

How could there be an auto repair shop in such a desolate place?

He stopped in his tracks, staring ahead.

The shop in the darkness seemed particularly jarring, with no other buildings or lights nearby; it stood alone, as if specifically waiting for lost travelers.

Inside, the breathing of three men could be heard.

Two were asleep; one was still awake.

The shop was filled with a variety of tools and parts, some of which were seldom seen on the market these days.

The person who wasn’t asleep had his back to the door, intently occupied with something, with the occasional clink of metal.

The air was thick with a blend of oil and gasoline smells.

The shop’s door was half-open, casting a dim yellow light.

At this moment, even if one were to guess with their butt, they’d know.

In such a remote place, any unforeseen human activity should be approached with caution.

If the prices here were steep,

It would probably still be better to accept them, after all, it was an uninhabited area, and finding the needed service was already quite fortunate.

Furthermore...

The people in this auto repair shop, even if they didn’t mean any harm, were not ones to be trifled with.

After all, for most people,

This area was not only sparsely populated but also had poor phone reception.

If something were to happen here, it would be a situation of crying out to heaven in vain.

But Chen Yun,

Was somewhat unable to resist his curiosity and approached.

Without the slightest hesitation.
