Awuli's home is just like what Chen Xing thought before. There is a long corridor after entering the door, with a tall grape trellis above it. Although there is no fruit now, the leaves are very rich. Everyone is in the corridor under the trellis.
Some people are sitting and chatting, some are making barbecue. Their barbecue rack is the same as what everyone buys online, there is no difference, and the charcoal they use seems to be bought online.
Chen Xing chatted with his friends for a while and continued walking forward. Walking to the end is a jujube tree, turn right and it is still the grape corridor. Continue to walk to the end and there is a red wall with a toilet on the side and many flower pots on the other side. It is the end here and Chen Xing turns back.
The grape vine trellis they built is very beautiful. If the sun shines in summer, the sun will shine from above with green leaves blocking it, and people sitting on rocking chairs below will make the scene look so dreamy.
Unfortunately it is still winter and the sky is gloomy. When we returned to the entrance, the meat had been roasted a lot, and the aroma was lingering in the air. The man who was grilling the meat saw Chen Xing coming and said, "Chen Xing, take what you want."
"Okay!" Hanikezi also came in from the door at this time, and brought someone with him. He should be her friend, a Hui man, with fair skin, big eyes and a tall nose, but his personality is a bit shy. He didn't talk much after he came in, and he only ate at Hanikezi's urging.
After a while, Hanikezi came over to greet Chen Xing and said with a smile: "Chen Xing, I heard that you were drunk yesterday. I thought you wouldn't come." Chen Xing said while eating barbecue skewers: "I'm everywhere there is food. Who is that person, following you all the time?"
"A friend in our dormitory is relatively introverted, so we made an appointment to go watch a movie."
"what movie?"
"We have you, have you seen it? How about we go see it together later?"
"Who took the photo?" Chen Xing asked again. Hanikezi mentioned several names, but Chen Xing had never heard of any of them. He instantly lost interest in the movie. Moreover, hearing the name, he thought it was an inexplicable youth movie. Only girls would probably buy this kind of movie.
"I'm not going. I'm going to Kanas later. I've already made an appointment for a car." From here to Kanas Scenic Area, it will take at least three and a half hours even if you drive by yourself, so Chen Xing can't stay here either. How long will it take, the scheduled driver will come to pick him up at half past two.
"Are you going to Kanas?" Hanikezi said in surprise, and then said,
"It seems a bit cold to go now. Have you brought any thick clothes?"
"It's in the luggage, don't worry."
"That's okay." Hanikezi said,
"Remember to take some more photos and show them to me. I haven't been to Kanas for many years, and I don't know what it looks like now." The three-hour drive was already too much for them. Attractions at your doorstep.
But the closer the attractions are to their homes, the less people want to go. Hanikezi remembered that she was still a child when she went there last time, and she felt that there was nothing interesting there, just mountains and rivers.
The two chatted for a while, and when her friend came over, Chen Xing said goodbye to her and left. The news that he was leaving soon spread around here, and many people came over to chat with him.
A friend who is very short said: "Remember to call me when you come back another day. My house is big, and you can come to have a barbecue then." A friend who sings well, but not as well as Chen Xing: "Kulban broke down yesterday." Don't be afraid of your good deeds, my brother will help you peel them later!"
"Haha." Chen Xing smiled and hugged him, patting each other on the back. After having snacks outside, everyone moved to the restaurant to start eating the main meal. At first glance, they were all filled with hard dishes.
For example, chicken, mutton, beef, etc., and of course vegetables. The staple food is noodles, which are made by the women in Awuli's family. They are very rich.
Every time he eats Xijiang delicacies, Chen Xing feels that his appetite is too small, because the food here is very large. For example, the noodles for one person are served in a large bowl, which can only be finished by two people from the mainland. quantity.
After dinner, Hanikezi took his friends to watch a movie. Chen Xing and a few others played awesome in the yard for a while, and made an appointment with Kony to climb a higher-level snow mountain when the weather is good. .
At around two o'clock, the online ride-hailing driver called Chen Xing. Chen Xing told him the address. About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door. Chen Xing put down the tea and said, "I'll drive, I'll drive. The driver is probably here." Outside the door was a dark-skinned man. Young man, but definitely a little older than Chen Xing.
"Hello, is this the car you are looking for?"
"Hey, it's me." Chen Xing nodded, turned around and said to his brothers: "The car has arrived, I'll leave now, and I'll come back to brag after I go shopping there for a few days."
"Okay, let's wait for you to come back and drink!" Chen Xing quickly shook his head: "Forget it about drinking. I can't drink enough. It's okay for us to eat more." His digestion ability is relatively good, so he is not afraid of eating any weird places. It doesn’t matter if you eat too much food.
But this was limited to food, and he really couldn't do anything about alcohol. It seemed that no matter how hard he practiced, he only had two glasses of white wine and five or six bottles of beer. It can only be said that he was slightly stronger than when he was studying.
After greetings, Chen Xing took down his luggage from Kony's car and put it in the young man's car. Then he got into the passenger seat and asked, "I don't know your name yet?"
"My surname is Sha, please call me Xiaosha." Chen Xing looked like he was from Western Xinjiang. People here generally don't have a single surname. He said this probably to make it easier for tourists from the mainland to call him, so Chen Xing Xing then asked: "You look older than me, so I'll call you Brother Sha. Do you usually see more tourists?"
"Fortunately, I usually take the route from Altai to Kanas. There are many tourists." Chen Far."
"You should get it, you should get it." He said a little embarrassed. If he didn't have enough money, he wouldn't have made this trip. The boss gave him the money and he got benefits. It doesn't matter if he travels for a few more hours. Anyway, he hasn't received much business in Altai recently. There are too few tourists coming this season. .
Brother Sha is twenty-five this year and is saving money to marry a wife. Logically speaking, most drivers like to talk, because they have to sit in the car every day and interact with strangers. If they don't talk to strangers, they will have no one else to chat with.
So over the years, the driver has come into contact with more people and can chat with you about anything. Drivers in the capital may be most famous for this, but in fact, taxi drivers in most cities are like this. You give them a conversation, and then the two of you can talk endlessly for an hour or two.
Brother Sha is not like this, he is a relatively taciturn person. When Chen Xing sometimes asked, he would answer. If not asked, he would say nothing and just drive seriously.
After driving for a few hours, Chen Xing couldn't stand it anymore, so he said, "How about we listen to some music?" Brother Sha nodded, and after a while, he said again: "Well... the stereo in my car sounded like it was played some time ago. It's broken and we haven't repaired it yet. Boss, just be patient for a while and we'll be here in two hours."
"Two more hours? It will be eight o'clock when we arrive, right?" He thought it would be there soon. When he was looking for a route on the map, the navigation marked him three hours and thirty minutes. It was already six o'clock, and he had been driving for three hours.
"It's about eight o'clock, boss, why don't you put on your headphones and listen to the music by yourself?" Chen Xing looked at the road ahead.
If it hadn't been for this provincial highway, Chen Xing would have thought the driver was taking a detour.
"No need." Chen Xing said that actually his Bluetooth headset had run out of power a long time ago. He had been busy with things in the past two days and forgot about it all the time.
I don't know where we are now, but the scenery outside has become very beautiful. Looking out from Chen Xing's window, there is a snow mountain on the horizon in the distance, and then stretching from the snow mountain is endless white.
There is thick white snow, and I don’t know how deep it is underneath. The snow continued to the edge of the road. There was a small river on the edge of the road. There was ice on the edge of the small river, and only the middle part was still flowing.
They all look cold. Chen Xing looked at the scenery outside and asked: "When will the winter in Xijiang end?" Brother Sha said: "It's over. It's spring now, but the snow in Kanas will take a while to melt. You go to us In other places in Western Xinjiang, you no longer need to wear thick clothes during the day." The sunshine in Western Xinjiang is not inferior to that in Tibet, and this can be seen from Brother Sha's face.
Brother Sha's face is very dark, to be precise, it cannot be used.
"Dark" is used to describe it, but it is red when sunburned, which is that special kind.
"Frontier Red". This face roughly represents the environment he has lived in since childhood. It was getting dark and the road was becoming difficult to walk.
The snow turned into water, and the water flowed on the road and formed a thin layer of ice. Anyone who often drives in the north knows that this kind of road is the most difficult to drive on, because sometimes the car's tires cannot grip the ground, and without friction the car will easily skid.
So Brother Sha slowed down the car and explained to Chen Xing: "Everyone is driving very slowly now, we can't drive faster."
"It's okay, just drive slowly." Chen Xing said he understood, after all, safety was the most important thing. All the cars drove slowly, and gradually a long queue formed here, one car following the other.
But at this time, the car in front suddenly stopped, and Chen Xing also heard a scream in the distance. Brother Sha quickly stepped on the brakes, but even though the tires stopped spinning, the car still slid forward a little and hit the Accord in front. Brother Sha's face became darker. This trip made a lot of money... ...Chen Xing has good hearing. When he heard the sound in front of him, he said: "There must be an accident in front. We may not be able to leave. I'll get out of the car and take a look." Brother Sha looked at the front and only knew that the cars had stopped. He couldn't see what was happening in front of him, so he nodded and said, "Let's go together, I'll take a look too." Then he immediately shook his head and said, "Go on your own, I rear-ended you." Chen Xing got out of the car. The owner of the car also got out of the car. He looked very kind and did not care about Chen Xing and others' rear-end collision. He immediately looked ahead after getting out of the car.
After getting out of the car, the view suddenly broadened. From Chen Xing's position, he could see that the car in front of him had reversed and flipped into a small ditch on the side of the road. Many car owners had already got out of the car and surrounded it.
Chen Xing also walked over quickly. The car that overturned into the creek was about five car bodies away from them. The scream that Chen Xing heard was coming from the car behind it. The driver was a girl in her mid-twenties. She was now frightened and stood still. motionless by the river.
When Chen Xing came over, several other eldest brothers were still asking the cars around: "Who has a rope? Who has a rope?"
"Taw rope! You should have it in the car!"
"Save people first, save people first!" Everyone was discussing in a hurry. It looked very urgent and everyone was in a panic.
Chen Xing came to the side of the road and looked at it for a while, thinking that this was too unlucky. This car was still a BMW.
But soon he heard a knock on the window from the car in the water. There are people inside! A chill instantly spread from the soles of Chen Xing's feet to the back of his head, and the hairs all over his body were probably standing on end.
Chen Xing finally understood why those big brothers were acting so anxious and panicked. Now he was also panicking and shouted: "There are people inside, there are people in the car!!!"
"Who doesn't know? Kid, get out of the way first!" A man in his forties found a tow rope from a car. Someone took the other end and hung it on the back of a Suc car. The man put his cell phone and wallet He took it out and threw it on the ground, then jumped into the cold river.
The river was about one meter deep and only reached my eldest brother's waist. The eldest brother quickly climbed up and shouted to people on the road: "It's hooked up, pull quickly!" Then the SUV started to exert force, and the tow rope was quickly straightened.
The car in the river moved a little bit, as if it was moving upwards. But at the moment the car started moving in the river, the traction rope broke directly in the middle, almost injuring the people on the roadside.
Someone shouted: "The car can't be pulled up when it's in reverse, we need to find a tow truck!"
“Where can I find a tow truck at this time?”
"We are going to die!" Chen Xing heard the knock on the window again. A very small sound. He looked around and found that everyone was thinking of ways, but no one seemed to hear the sound.
Brother Sha also ran over at this time and said: "The car owner doesn't want us to compensate. I came over to see if there is anything I can do to help. What's wrong here?"
"The car overturned and no one came out yet?"
"What?" Brother Sha was stunned for a moment, and then immediately jumped into the river. Chen Xing screamed, but didn't react.
In such cold water, do you just jump in to save someone? If the person is not rescued within two or three minutes, he will be dead.
But this is also the fastest way. Of course they can wait for the tow truck and other rescuers on the shore, but what about the people in the car?
How long can they last in such cold water? A small river that can only reach a person's waist, it is hard to imagine that it can swallow people's lives now.
Brother Sha went over and looked at the window, then raised his fist and smashed it upward. Chen Xing was touched by his actions. He looked around the roadside and found a stone.
I took a deep breath, took off my clothes, put down my camera and phone, and jumped in. hiss! The water was really cold, bone-deep, like small thorns stinging my body. This feeling was far more painful than the cold snap encountered when climbing a snow-capped mountain.
Chen Xing walked forward, getting closer and closer to the car, and finally heard the sounds inside clearly.
"Help, help!" Bang! The stone in Chen Xing's hand slammed against the car window!
