The alley is too winding. In the past, when people here built houses, they probably didn't plan the roads well. Everyone used every opportunity to build new houses and gardens, wherever the ground was relatively flat.
As a result, this resulted in a large number of alleys in the old city. Do you think it’s someone else’s backyard from here?
No, no, no, there is another street after passing here. There should be a school nearby. There are many shops for stationery and snacks on this street, as well as a large number of children.
Looking at the shops selling snacks, Chen Xing felt a little nostalgic. When he was in elementary school, his family didn't give him much pocket money, so these snacks worth 50 cents or 1 yuan were the delicacies he always dreamed of.
When I grew up, I was rich, but I could never have the same feeling I had back then. Until now, there is only nostalgia left.
This street was also where the aunt and Chen Xing showed the way before. If he walked further along, he would see the square that the aunt mentioned before not long after walking.
The square is very empty and seems to be simply a place for the surrounding residents to take a walk. There is the kind of fitness equipment in the community, a circle for people to walk around, and a basketball court.
There is nothing else. Chen Xing strongly suspected that the open space opposite the basketball court was the territory of square dancing mothers. Anyway, if there was such a place in their hometown, there would never be a second use for it.
It's okay, the aunts from the province can go and occupy the basketball court. Although it is just after noon, there are many people here, mostly children.
Adults have their own things to do. It is already difficult for people over the age of twenty to return to the carefree life of childhood.
Although children have to go to school, Chen Xing knows that schools in many places, especially primary and junior high schools in small cities, have a long break at noon for students to go home and have lunch.
This was the case when Chen Xing was studying in the New Territories, so Chen Xing would go to the Internet cafe to play games almost every morning after school.
He circled here twice and nodded secretly. This square is pretty good. Then fly here.
He brought a drone with him when he went out this time, just to take pictures of the scenery here, and to feel what it was like to look at the legendary Western Region from a height.
When he first arrived in Altai, Chen Xing was still disappointed. After all, this kind of modern city is not the style he wants to see.
This does not mean that people living in Western Xinjiang should live in adobe buildings, but Chen Xing feels that every nation and every region should have its own style.
China is too big. He flew in the sky for four hours from Chengdu to here. How far can he fly in Europe in four hours?
Crossing several countries is completely sufficient. How boring would it be if everything in such a large area had the same style?
Chen Xing likes to travel because he wants to see different things, so on the second day after he arrived in Altai, he felt a little disappointed when he saw the city during the day.
But now I am satisfied. The architectural style of this old city is what Chen Xing wants to see. Should all these be considered Uyghur buildings?
After finding an open space with a bench, Chen Xing sat on the chair and took out the shuttle, opened the mobile app, and connected the screen to the flight goggles.
Flying glasses are a kind of VR glasses. After wearing them, you can immersively see the pictures transmitted by the drone.
This is also an operation that can only be achieved after the 5G network is fully laid out. It would have been difficult to do a few years ago.
As Chen Xing pressed the button, the drone made a loud fan sound and quickly flew towards the horizon.
Many people around him looked over when they heard the sound, and then found that there was no problem, they turned their heads back. They chatted when they needed to, and worked out when they needed to work out... He was young, and no one would be surprised by what he did to weird things.
As long as it doesn't disturb yourself. But several children around him were very curious. They watched a small plane in front of Chen Xing fly into the sky without a break, and suddenly turned into a black dot, and then disappeared from sight.
The ordinary time-travel machines sold by DJI cannot reach such speeds, but the most important thing about the time-travel machines is that they can replace various accessories.
Chen Xing was not short of money during this period, so he bought all the accessories. Top, best, fastest!
So in the eyes of the people around, they just heard a sound, and when they reacted and looked over, they could only see a small black dot.
At this moment, from Chen Xing's perspective. Sky, blue sky. He was tilting his head to let the plane fly upward.
This is the head tracking function that comes with flying glasses. After using it, controlling the drone becomes a real somatosensory game. If you look up at the sky, the drone will fly up into the sky. If you look down, the drone will go down. look.
At this time, press the throttle on the remote control, and the drone will fly forward. When they work together, it's like flying in the sky.
Although this kind of control is not as flexible as the remote control, Chen Xing is not planning to race now, but just to record the scenery here, so he still prioritizes his own comfort.
Looking down from the sky, the sense of color is even stronger. After Chen Xing got the gift of color, he was already very interested in these combinations, so he lowered his altitude and flew back and forth above the houses in the old city, looking at the various houses.
And because he was flying in the sky, Chen Xing could clearly see inside other people's yards. People in Xijiang really like plants and flowers. Every household has a grape trellis set up and flowers planted. It looks lush and lush from the sky, and there are also early blooming flowers that embellish the colors.
The blue houses are works of art in cold tones, and the green ones are plants. The sunlight shining on them makes these plants sparkle. The countless colorful decorations are the volumes of national culture left here.
What mysteries these books will hold can only be explored by the travelers themselves. While Chen Xing was hovering in the sky, he suddenly saw several people surrounding him in the square.
In order not to disturb anyone, he flew too high and couldn't see clearly, so he clicked pause with his right hand and took off his flying glasses.
Three little girls who were jumping rubber bands were standing next to him, looking at the mobile phone he put on his lap - the mobile phone and the flying glasses are connected, and the images seen on the flying glasses will also be displayed on the mobile phone. .
The three of them were so absorbed in watching that they didn't even notice that Chen Xing had taken off his glasses. One of them suddenly said: "Eh? Why did you stop?" Chen Xing's eyesight could see his location on the square from a very high place, but on the mobile phone, the only thing they could see in the picture was Some small points.
He coughed quietly. They glanced at Chen Xing and then realized that Chen Xing was looking at them.
Chen Xing thought they would disperse in a hurry. But no. These three little girls were like social cows. When Chen Xing noticed them, he asked directly: "Brother, what is this?" Before Chen Xing could say anything, another girl said: "This is no one." It can control a remote-controlled aircraft flying in the sky."
"So high-tech!" These three girls all look like they are no more than fifteen years old. Children of this age don't seem to know what troubles are. They like to laugh. Whether they are talking or watching others talk, they have a very expression on their faces. Sweet smile.
Sure enough, all the girls in Xijiang are like Naza. Especially when I was little. But these three girls will definitely look good when they grow up.
Chen Xing said: "Yes, this is a remote control aircraft. Do you want to play with it?"
"Okay, okay!! I want to play."
"Great!" I don't know if Chen Xing's friendliness played a role. The three of them didn't seem to regard Chen Xing as an adult. When they spoke, Chen Xing felt as if they were communicating with peers.
Chen Xing felt like he was healed. Then he flew the drone back and replaced the battery, and then taught them how to look.
In fact, they could only control the direction of the camera, not the throttle. Chen Xing always held the remote control in his hand.
Even so, they had a lot of fun. But the capacity of the battery was really a big problem. Everyone was playing around, and soon the three batteries were all gone. Chen Xing could only put everything back into the backpack one by one with disappointed expressions on their faces. .
He was also helpless: "The power is out, there is nothing we can do."
"It's fun, but the time is too short."
"Brother Chen Xing, will you still come here tomorrow?"
"Maybe, I'm not sure." Chen Xing stood up after packing his things, and stepped on a piece of fitness equipment that Chen Xing didn't know the name of in the space specially reserved by them.
It's the kind of device that has two pedals that you can step on to move forward and backward, and an armrest in front of it.
The two girls on the left are each stepping on a pedal, and the girl on the right is looking at Chen Xing's camera.
"Isn't this kind of camera expensive? I remember my uncle seemed to have one."
"It's not too expensive. Come, let's take a photo together." Chen Xing did not take a picture of their faces, but pointed the camera at the shadows on the ground.
The sun had already set a little to the west at this time, and the sunlight shone from behind them, leaving a few black shadows on the ground. Chen Xing's shadow was very tall, leaning on the armrest with one hand, and holding a camera with the other hand.
The girls knew that Chen Xing was taking pictures, so they all raised their hands and made a scissors gesture. So a special group photo was born.
When taking the photo, Chen Xing didn't think much about the composition or post-production. But after taking the photo, Chen Xing unexpectedly found that he liked this kind of photo.
Maybe this photo is meaningful. After all, Chen Xing would never have imagined that the first friends he made after coming to Xijiang would be a few little girls in the third grade of junior high school. The key is that they can talk pretty well.
Chen Xing asked them about their life in Xijiang, and then asked what it was like inside the school. They also asked Chen Xing whether it was fun in the Mainland and whether he was tired from studying. Chen Xing was very good at talking about these topics because he had just left campus not long ago and was going to the next campus soon.
Huh? Looking at it this way, I am a student and they are also students, so it is not surprising that we can talk about going together.
At this time, someone pushed a cart that was still burning and came here from the highway. Behind him, there was another person pushing a larger cart with things covered by white cloth inside.
"What is this?" Chen Xing asked.
"It's a barbecue. There are stalls here every night, and there are people selling kebabs and buns."
“There are also baked buns here?”
"Yes, there are many people selling baked buns in our county." Chen Xing licked his lips and asked, "When will the bun bakers come to set up stalls?"
"They are in the new city during the day. I don't know when they will come. I haven't paid attention to them."
"I do not have either."
"Anyway, he will be here when we get out of school in the afternoon." Chen Xing looked at the time, it was almost four o'clock, and asked, "Aren't you going to have class this afternoon?"
"Today is Friday, only half a day." The girl on the right tore open a pack of spicy strips, took it over and asked Chen Xing, "Do you want to eat it?"
"Eat!" Chen Xing picked up a spicy stick from the package with his hands. If any of Chen Xing's current friends saw this scene, they probably wouldn't believe it. There would be no image at all.
But from Chen Xing's point of view now, he is happy, and that is enough. Basking in the sun and listening to the girls talking to each other about things around them, Chen Xing felt so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.
However, after hearing a sentence, he suddenly woke up.
"Do you all ask when playing games now whether there is a boy you like?" A girl jumped up and down and broke the news: "She does!!"
"Is he from your school?"
"No, they are playing basketball in the square."
"Wow, this square is really a good place, and you can meet people you like." Chen Xing looked towards the basketball court. In his opinion, they were all brats, at most one year in high school.
I looked at a few little girls again. By the way, when I first became friends with my first love, I was still in the second grade of junior high school, right?
So small? No wonder it didn’t work out in the end. Chen Xing said: "Don't fall in love too easily. I think you can still observe more. After a year or two, you will find that the person you like may not be as good as you thought." ?”
"So do you have a girlfriend?" one of them asked.
"Ah, well, I...I don't have one yet." He can still find female companions at will, but this kind of girl is not a girlfriend.
He is looking for it too. A real partner needs to stay with you for many years, and the life circles will squeeze each other. In this process, if you don't have compatible personalities, you will definitely have conflicts after a long conversation.
Chen Xing didn't know what love was when he was in school, and he had such feelings several times. The final result is that my heart hurts when we break up.
This is also the reason why he doesn't want to find a real girlfriend now.
"Oh!! Hahaha, if I were older, I would definitely be your girlfriend."
"You are more handsome than the most handsome boy in our school. How could you not have a girlfriend? You must be lying to us, right?" Chen Xing recalled it for a long time and said with a smile: "It doesn't mean you are handsome. It’s my girlfriend’s…” After chatting for a long time, a few more girls came.
They actually came here to watch the boys play ball. Boys come to the basketball court here to play basketball every day, and girls may like handsome boys who love sports, so they also like to gather here to play.
They say it's just for fun, but in fact the drunkard's intention is not to drink. Listening to their chat, Chen Xing had to lament that children nowadays mature too early.
As a result, Chen Xing added a few more new friends. After knowing that Chen Xing came here to travel, they took Chen Xing to many beautiful places to take pictures, there were beautiful houses, food stalls that the locals thought were delicious... Everything in this small town was as peaceful as before, but There is a group of more happy people.
Only the boys playing basketball felt confused. What about those girls?
