Chen Xing thought he would drive directly to Kanas this time, but Brother Sha stopped the car in a seemingly deserted place on the way. Only fir trees could be seen around him. The dizzying fir trees told Chen Xing that this place was far away from Kanas. Si is very close.
Chen Xing didn't think Brother Sha would do anything bad, but he was also very confused.
The surrounding area is completely white, except for the woods, there is dry grassland without even a leaf growing. The clothes inside you are also wet. If you don’t quickly go to the scenic spot to change into dry clothes to keep warm, where are you going now?
"Where are you going?" Chen Xing asked.
"I have a relative who lives right in front of here. I'm going to my relative's house to change the clothes inside. Boss, are you coming? Come to my relative's house to warm up by the fire?"
"Stop calling me boss. What kind of boss am I? Call me by my name."
Brother Sha touched his head and said with a smile: "Chen Xing, are you going? It's only a ten-minute walk away."
It was getting late now. Chen Xing originally wanted to say that she would wait for him to come back in the car, but suddenly she thought that Brother Sha was from the Tajik ethnic group. Are his relatives also from this ethnic group?
Make money, make money!
"Do you have an empty room at your relative's house? Let's stay one night and leave tomorrow. I can give you money."
Chen Xing thought that Brother Sha would be polite, but he said very directly: "Just give us money. The house we built ourselves has a lot of empty rooms, but the environment is definitely not as good as the hotel environment in the city."
"The hygiene problem in the hotel is the biggest problem."
He used to study hotel management, and he knows more about the sanitary conditions in hotels than outsiders. Moreover, these problems apply to hotels regardless of their size. Small hotels also have the same problems that big hotels have.
So Brother Sha stopped the car in a place that didn't block other people's driving, and the two of them followed a path to visit Brother Sha's relatives and family.
Chen Xing has changed all his clothes and is in good health. After such a period of time and resting with the air conditioner on, he is still recovering. Brother Sha only had a coat and a pair of trousers given by Chen Xing, but he didn't change them inside. He was trembling when he walked now.
I guess I parked here because it was too uncomfortable.
Not long after the two of them walked along the road, the woods were behind them. In front of them was a small piece of grassland and a river. On the opposite side of the river was a small piece of grassland, and then there was a large bare mountain. This kind of mountain suited Chen Xing very well. What it looks like after the snowy mountains melt in my heart.
The snow on the mountain had completely melted. After all, Chen Xing couldn't see any white at all.
This is still very strange in this season.
Brother Sha's relatives lived here, and they were a typical family of Tajik herders. There were only the things Chen Xing saw before, and then some of the cattle and sheep they raised, and there were no other creatures around.
The family owns two types of houses. One is a stone house made of adobe, with a livestock pen made of stones behind the house. This is an architectural style passed down by the Tajik people for thousands of years. The other one looks a lot like a temporary tent house.
Brother Sha went up and knocked on the door.
Chen Xing was quickly attracted by the river and walked over.
This is mountain spring water.
There are large and small pebbles on the river bank. The surface is very smooth and has no edges. They are washed here by the current and are neatly arranged. Then they are lined up to block the water flow from crossing their defense line.
This is a naturally occurring river embankment, and combined with the surrounding environment, it has a very simple beauty.
It's just that it's a bit dark and the light is not good, so the photos taken are a bit uninteresting. Let's take a look at it again during the day tomorrow.
The stream water flowing down from the upstream was also very clear. Chen Xing touched the stream water, which was cold to the bone. Then he slightly bent his right hand into the palm of his hand and brought a spoonful of water up to taste it.
a bit sweet.
When Chen Xing wanted to continue to discover something, Brother Sha called him into the house.
When Chen Xing walked over, he realized that this place seemed to be the kind of tarpaulin room used for disaster relief. Now when he came over and took a look, hey, it really was. It's blue in color and has the word "disaster relief" on the door.
Doesn't it look like there could be flooding here?
However, it seems that it took a little long to build, and the words are already dirty.
Chen Xing opened the curtain and walked in.
It looks like just a thin tarpaulin from the outside, but it's very warm inside and you don't feel the cold outside at all. Chen Xing could see that the inside of the tarp was made of cold-proof cotton. This 'technology' was indeed warmer than their traditional yurt.
Although it doesn't look Tajik at all in appearance, it has their national home style everywhere inside.
Carpets with paisley patterns, lace curtains, and red printed boxes are all available, showing the flavor of Western Xinjiang everywhere.
Many people don’t know what the paisley pattern is, but some people who pay attention to the European fashion industry know that they have a luxury product called a paisley scarf, which is very expensive. In fact, tracing back to the origin, it is this paisley pattern.
But none of this is as beautiful as the enthusiasm of the Tajik compatriots.
When Chen Xing came in, there was a person who looked like a character from a cartoon that Chen Xing watched when he was a child. He welcomed him with a smile. Brother Sha smiled honestly at the side. There was also a woman and a child sitting on the beautiful carpet.
The character of this cartoon, probably many people across the country have heard of it, is Afanti.
It really seems!
"Come, sit down, let's eat together!"
The two arrived just in time for their meal. There was no table. Everyone was sitting around a black carpet. The black carpet was probably a little smaller than the usual square table for eating at home. Everyone was sitting around the red table. carpet.
The flowered kettle contains milk tea, the stainless steel basin contains solidified yogurt, and a few pieces of naan.
Knowing that a guest was coming, the child quickly found two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and then brought over a few pieces of naan.
Several people here were still chatting, and Afan asked where Chen Xing came from.
"Sichuan province."
“This place is nice…”
In fact, the several provinces in the west are very close to each other to a certain extent. They are all poor friends and are almost equal psychologically. Naturally, they will feel friendly at first impression, and Chen Xing is not annoying in the first place. .
The atmosphere at the scene was particularly harmonious.
Afanti also went to get Chen Xing a special snack from Xijiang, which was fried and smelled very fragrant.
Chen Xing took the thing and looked at it carefully. The shape of this snack was very similar to a squid roll, but it was round, with a diameter of 6 centimeters, and there were many evenly sized pits on the surface.
"We call this Alzek here."
"oh!"
Chen Xing tasted a little.
Like most fried noodles, it is very fragrant and tastes like eating crispy rice.
Then Afanti took the bowl brought by the child and scooped a large bowl of yogurt for Chen Xing...
This yogurt is really strong. It is completely naturally fermented, with zero additives, and is full of oil. All the yogurt on the market can only be defeated by this solid yogurt.
Chen Xing took the bowl with both hands, feeling that it was somewhat difficult for him to eat the bowl.
Didn't he search for the rules of Xijiang people before?
One of them says this.
If your bowl is filled with something, you must eat everything in the bowl, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the owner.
This is a good tradition that prevents people from wasting food, let alone in other people's homes. Of course, you can scoop out as much as you can eat. If you can't eat, just serve less food. It's not a big deal.
But what if the master serves something for him?
What to do, just eat it.
This kind of yogurt that has solidified is definitely different from the one we often eat. It also tastes different from the yogurt pimple snacks that Chen Xing ate before. The pimples are salty and have a silky texture. Slightly sweet and creamy.
This yogurt is a weird acid that defies description.
But it can provide a lot of energy needed by the body.
Why people in the frontier can grow so tall, handsome, and strong probably has a lot to do with the fact that they often eat dairy products.
This is true in both Western Xinjiang and Tibet.
Eating yogurt, eating naan, and trying the snacks they provide, this is the daily life of a Tajik family.
They were chatting while eating, and Chen Xing asked by the way: "Do the Tajik people have any traditions or rules?"
"Rules? We don't seem to have many rules, but we must listen to what the elderly say. These are the rules we must abide by." After saying this, Afanti sighed and said, "My dad didn't stay up in the winter. In the past, alas.”
He sighed twice in a row, and his wife and Brother Sha were comforting him.
Chen Xing also said sorry.
He asked them about the rules of their nation, but unexpectedly it touched Brother Afanti's heart.
Brother Afanti is definitely not called this name, but even if Chen Xing calls his name, he still can't forget Afanti in his heart.
He loved watching this cartoon when he was little.
Brother Sha knew what Chen Xing wanted to ask and said, "Actually, there are some unique rules. For example, after we wash our hands, we must dry them and we cannot shake hands. Shaking hands is not allowed here."
"Why?"
"If you want to ask why, then I don't know. I only know that it was passed down from the older generation. There are also bathing. Our bathing is also divided into two types: 'big' and 'small'..."
Chen Xing nodded while listening, and gave his Alzek to the child.
The Tajik people attach great importance to the elderly in their family. All the words of the elderly are regarded as traditions that the family must abide by. This may be the cultural heritage passed down by this nation.
In the whole world, there are very few ethnic groups with such complete heritage as the Han people. There are still many ethnic groups in southern Yunnan that have evolved directly from slave society to modern society. They don't even have oral traditions like the Tajik people. .
What does a poem say?
New bamboo branches are higher than old bamboo branches, all because of the support of old trunks.
Many times, the detours of young people are hidden in the words of old people.
It is not a good thing if a person does not take the elderly at home seriously and does not get advice from the elderly. The old man's brows relaxed, and the path for the younger generation became smoother.
Uncle Afanti was really enthusiastic. After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted. After knowing that Chen Xing was going to live here, he even asked his wife to get a new quilt. The colorful quilt surface was particularly festive. There are also new pillows.
The pillows are lace and very beautiful.
Then I had the honor to talk to Chen Xing about his joining D in the 1990s.
This is a very loyal family, or can you say this is a very loyal nation? They would pin the badge on the collar of their best clothes and keep it well when not wearing it. Thirty years old things were still shining brightly when Chen Xing looked at them.
In the evening, Chen Xing stayed in their yurt, burned the kang, and fell asleep very comfortably.
Chen Xing was thinking about this nation and the mountain spring water outside, and he had a strong desire to take pictures, but it was really too late. Chen Xing endured it and gradually fell into sleep.
