That day in Korla, Pear City, I met Zhang Children's Shoes, had dinner together, and then left. I bought a ticket to Yanqi directly, and then got on the bus and waited to leave. This is a small car with a low fare. Different from the bus, it takes the old asphalt road, which is attractive. The driver is from Gansu, with a Gansu accent, very bright and clear. After sitting for a while, I saw that there were still a few seats left, so I asked loudly when to leave. He smiled and answered quickly with a simple and honest face. So I waited for everyone to come and set off. Suddenly, he came out of the ticket office and asked strangely who bought the ticket at half price. A car full of people didn't speak, so he looked at everyone with his eyes and said to check the tickets. It turned out that there was a disabled person sitting in the car, sitting in a row with him. But he doesn't believe that he is disabled, and if he has to take two steps, the man will be unhappy, shouting that this is given by the state and this is a policy given by the state. He said, I think there is nothing wrong with you, so I pulled it for a while, and the people around me said a few words before it subsided. Later, another young man came with a TV. The driver said he would charge two people. The young man is anxious and reluctant. The driver said he shouldn't sit down. People around advised the young man that you should also take a seat, and the young man barely paid twenty dollars. I sat in the back and thought, it's not easy to make money. I also thought that I would finally come to Yanqi, where I could see ancient civilizations and historical sites, and what she looked like after work.
We have a good relationship. At school, she regarded almost everyone in our dormitory as her younger brother. I am Brother Six, so call me Brother Six. At that time, we often stayed together, talking and laughing, and fighting, but we naturally separated after graduation. But I always want to know how she is doing now, whether she is doing well or not. Although it is usually said on the phone, it is better to see it in person. I finally have time this holiday, so I can come.
Almost enough, but she doesn't trust me. She kept telling me the route, telling me all the time, as if I were still that stupid boy who didn't grow up. The car started and went along the narrow asphalt road. I looked at both sides curiously, hoping to find something precious or beautiful. After all, this is a civilized place. I bumped all the way, slept for a while and found nothing. Disappointed. I saw some water and ice and a tricycle pushing live fish. But a closer look shows that it is somewhat similar to the beach in our country. Passing by a group farm, there is a big sign that says Yanqi welcomes you. I guess it has entered the boundary. Go ahead for more than ten minutes and you will enter the county seat.
There were people in the League and in the county, and I sat directly at the station and experienced a feeling from beginning to end. With a playful attitude, I looked at the station. There are not many vehicles, which are relatively neat, but they still have the common characteristics of all stations, which are chaotic. But it's small and not too messy.
The car walked on the road for more than an hour, because the road was not good and I didn't take the expressway. I saw a river in the car. It was very wide and someone was walking on it. There are white snow flowers floating on the river, surrounded by the color of the earth. The river is like a belt, as white as snow. I thought at that time what river this was, and I was going to ask later.
Yanqi city is almost a big county in southern Xinjiang, and it is also a Hui autonomous county. Later, when I traveled, I felt good. First of all, the road is very wide, just like other cities in southern Xinjiang. However, there are few cars on the road, not as chaotic as Hotan City, nor as buses as Yutian County. I got on the No.3 bus as she said. As soon as I got on the bus, I looked at the stop sign. There are only twenty stops, and the ticket is still one yuan. Not many people. Looking at the expression of the conductor, I feel a little lonely. I can't help but think of the situation where the conductor in my hometown sells tickets. What kind of situation and excitement is it? A woman's voice is as loud as a man's, her eyes are wide open, she can't hold money in her hand, and there is a wallet in her waist. As I pushed people in, I shouted, "Go in, go in and collect money." So I'm surprised that they are so smart and so good that they can remember the tickets of more than a dozen people. Just like I envy my sister's brain, I can quickly calculate how much money the guests have eaten, and then who pays the bill, who doesn't pay the bill, who hasn't come for a few days and so on. I sat up and looked at the city from the window, a city-state that played an important role on the ancient Silk Road. There are few people and wide roads, bearing the imprint of a modern city, but until the car reaches the center of the county, there are more talents gradually, most of them are students. Maybe they will have a holiday soon. This time is very lively. The conductor was a little nervous and had a smile on his face. The destination of this train is a middle school called Bayi Middle School. Later, when I was living, I personally went to see the school with a beautiful name, but the doorman wouldn't let me in, just like all schools.
There is a stop called Qiaotou, which is a very wide river. Later, I learned that this is the famous Liusha River, the lair of Friar Sand in The Journey to the West, also known as Kaidu River, which can be seen on the map. From here, you can still imagine the majestic figure of this river thousands of years ago, and you can vaguely see the majestic figure. Now it is wearing a military uniform, there is no rushing water, only ice and snow. People here say that the river is built upstream, and the water here is so small that fish can't swim up. It is a tributary of Bosten Lake, a famous lake. I have seen the fish in Bohu Lake. They are big, fat and mouth-watering. But I didn't go to see Bohu in person, because I didn't have time and it was not the best time to come.
I got off at her designated place. It's a small town called yongningzhen with a nice name. Her sister works here, so we are here. I was greeted by his younger brother, a college student, who was very sensible and had a good chat with me. I got to know him as soon as we met. He said polite words modestly, but I thought I was still a student, so I didn't recognize strangers. I spoke to him in an anonymous tone, but I don't think I have as much knowledge as him. His slim figure, wearing glasses, down jacket, jeans and casual shoes, is very quiet, which reminds me of my familiar friends. Later, after he cut his hair, he felt a little similar to Sean, a popular star. But his two sisters always discipline him. He doesn't talk at ordinary times, but always listens quietly. Later, I heard something about him, and felt that he had experienced more than me and was a little more mature than me.
Later, I met his second sister, who went to my school, but studied medicine and was very cheerful. When they meet, she speaks generously, which makes people feel kind and always smiles. I didn't recognize strangers as soon as I met them, so I started talking. So I think it's lucky for me to know sister Fan Afang. She taught me a lot at school, and now I know her family after graduation. She kept putting me in charge of this place before she came, so I pawned it and did what I had to do. Everyone has a lot to adapt to and understand when he comes out of school and enters the society. We are all gradually becoming social people and gradually reducing the atmosphere of students. Whether you like it or not, whether you admit it or not, this is the topic we talk about the most.
I stayed in Yanqi for a few days, spent the longest time with his brother, and felt that we hit it off with him. On the third night, we watched a movie until nearly three o'clock. It was a Uighur movie. Later, we were in a bed and fell asleep peacefully. Just like my brothers in the dormitory and I, it is natural to do our own thing well. Later, we walked from here to the county seat, walked on the frozen quicksand river, and then passed the square until we reached the center of the county seat. Although it's winter, there's nothing to see here, but after all, it's a new place, and there are still surprises. Just knowing their families is a very lucky and happy thing, which can make people happy for a long time. Liushahe, a mysterious river that makes people daydream endlessly. When I stepped on the ice and snow, I was wondering if Xuanzang, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, walked here a thousand years ago, if Friar Sand in the Journey to the West was still fighting monsters, if I would be caught by the underwater goblins, or if there were many monsters watching me quietly. However, this is a city after all. When his brother led me through the city, I felt that there was everything here. It can be said that sparrows are small and complete. I think, here, people can live very well without great pressure, and live like this every day.
I went to shopping malls and markets to eat and drink with them. Everyone talked and laughed together, and it was very lively. During the sit-in, I looked at the city and thought about its past and history. I think I must read the book "The Tale of the Western Regions of Datang" in the future. Maybe I can learn more about the history of this city from there. Today's people live here like their ancestors. The difference is that their living standards have been greatly improved. Maybe people here have the same mentality as before, but they are really rich in material things.
This southern Xinjiang city is only one hour's drive from Korla and two hours' drive from Jingxian. Then I remembered the great Silk Road, the road carrying civilization and legends, the small kingdoms and the historical sites left for people to think about.
In Yanqi, because of them, I can come here as before, this time isolated from the world, and only watch and taste carefully when I get there. Perhaps, because they are here, I have a fate with this city. Maybe I will go somewhere else in the future, but here, this is a new way of understanding, which is completely different from what I knew when I traveled. Here, I am relaxed, just like at home, as she told me. When we eat together, we feel at home. Later, her so-called colleague actually regarded me as her own brother from the beginning. She kept talking about me as if I were their long-lost brother, and I was very happy to hear that.
After having dinner together, we chatted. It is very free to talk about family affairs and some experiences. Later, I was leaving, and she and her brother took me to the station. I know I have to leave this familiar station, this station, this county.
She said I would go to her house when I had time, and I said I would; She said, I will tell her when I arrive, and I nodded. So, I bought a ticket and hit the road again. It's already snowing lightly. There are some white elves on the road, dancing with the cars on the highway for a while. I think I will come again, and it will be different then.
The car is driving on the road, and I am far away from the city.
