Chapter 13: The Green Train
11th National Day holiday.
Southern Xinjiang, a green state.
Ice peaks coexist with deserts, and the sea is adjacent to oases.
The oasis in the desert is a magnificent and strange landscape that attracts a large number of tourists.
Lin Xiaoxiao and her roommates had made plans for this eleventh long holiday a long time ago.
This year is the fourth year, and their major is different from the five-year undergraduate program of other medical majors, and after the major reform, Lin Xiaoxiao's preventive medicine major has become a four-year program.
In other words, this year is their last year of college.
After that, because everyone has different aspirations, some people work and some go to graduate school, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities for everyone to be together.
Therefore, everyone cherishes this opportunity to come out and play together.
Before the four of them travel, they decided whether to sign up for a tour group or a self-guided tour.
After seeing a few tours, the four decided to go on their own.
As for the mode of travel, the four people unanimously agreed to take the train.
From Yunhai City to southern Xinjiang, the straight-line distance is more than 3,000 kilometers, and the plane is the fastest way to travel, but the air ticket price is expensive, and you can't see the scenery along the way.
The best way to take the train is to cross the whole of China, from the small towns in the south of the Yangtze River in the east, to the hilly terraces in the central mountains, to the Gobi Desert in the west, you can enjoy different scenery along the way.
Buy a train ticket in advance, and book a green train, the one with cheap tickets but the slowest speed.
The ticket from Yunhai City to southern Xinjiang is two days and one night on the road.
Book in advance, the four people insisted on buying the sleeper, or they didn't sit on the train in a hard seat for two days and one night, and the estimated bones of the people who got off the train also fell apart, so how could they still have the strength to play.
There are all kinds of people on the green train, some of them go back to their hometowns to visit relatives, some of them go to northern Xinjiang to pick cotton, and some of them can't buy high-speed rail tickets and get off halfway on business trips......
Lin Xiaoxiao and the four roommates are in the prime of their youth, smiling and dressing vigorously, which is a beautiful scenery in the crowd.
The beds of the four people are next to each other, all of them are middle and upper bunks, and the lower bunk is an old couple in their 60s who returned to their hometown in southern Xinjiang.
In addition to looking at the scenery outside the window, the rest of the time was a little boring, and the old couple and Lin Xiaoxiao talked to each other.
"Girl, are you going to southern Xinjiang?"
"yes. ”
"Go to school, visit family, or travel?"
"Tourism. ”
"Didn't you go on a tour?"
"No, we are self-guided, and we have made a strategy before departure. ”
"Where are you going in southern Xinjiang?"
"Baren Township. ”
The uncle and aunt were surprised, "Baren Township? ”
"Really?" Lin Xiaoxiao was also surprised.
According to the previous strategy, most of the residents of Baren Township are Uyghurs and Hasa, and there are very few Han people, and the old couple in front of them is a typical Han face.
Roommate Lingling looked at the old couple and asked curiously, "Uncle and aunt, are you natives?"
Uncle smiled and shook his head, "No, my wife and I went to teach in the local area decades ago, and we stayed there, and now, we have made it our home." ”
The aunt also smiled, "Although our old couple settled in Baren Township, my son went back to his hometown in the east to work, going around and around, and the next generation went back." ”
"Your hometown is Yunhai City?" asked her roommate Renzi.
"Yes, Lianyun District, Yunhai City. ”
Boss Shen Yuqiqi sighed, "From the economically developed area in the east to the teaching in the west, it has been the same for decades, and finally settled there, and this realm of dedication is an example for our young people later." ”
Being complimented, the uncle and aunt were a little embarrassed.
Aunt: "Hey, how can it be as great as you say, that is, when I had the opportunity to teach, I found that the people there are simple, the air is good, and the scenery is beautiful. ”
Uncle: "This time I went back to Yunhai City because my son got married, and they went to travel after they got married, and our old couple went back to southern Xinjiang, and the fat family was still taken care of by the neighbors."
"Chubby, do you have a child in southern Xinjiang?" asked Lingling curiously.
"Hahaha...... uncle smiled heartily, "Chubby is not a child, it is a pet dog that has been raised for seven or eight years." ”
Aunt: "In order to attend my son's wedding, I haven't seen Chubby for more than a week, I really think about it, and I don't know if he is used to eating the neighbor's food." ”
The uncle comforted and said, "Don't worry about it, don't we leave dog food for Fatty, I'm not hungry." ”
Aunt: "Alas, I'm more worried that Chubby will be taken into a stray dog by the neighbor's rhubarb." ”
The uncle also looked a little worried, "It's really possible, Rhubarb caught a hare from the field last time." ”
"It's okay to catch hares, and once I saw a rhubarb catching a wild mouse. ”
Uncle and aunt, you and I say a word, and the center of the topic has always revolved around pet dog fat.
Lin Xiaoxiao: "My uncle and aunt are really similar to my parents, they also have a pet dog since I left home to go to college, and they say that they are my younger brothers." ”
Several people laughed, and the aunt laughed so hard that she couldn't help coughing.
The coughing continued, and I couldn't breathe for a while.
The uncle hurriedly patted his wife on the back, "Wife, slow down, slow down, you haven't been sick for long." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her aunt carefully, her face was pale, her skin was dark, and there were some small red spots on her neck and arms, "Auntie, are you sick?"
Lin Xiaoxiao just wanted to understand the condition, and only when he asked did he feel that it was inappropriate.
The condition is the patient's privacy, and it would be offensive to ask so directly.
Lin Xiaoxiao explained his identity, "Uncle and aunt, my roommates and I are both students of Yunhai University School of Medicine, and I want to ask when someone is sick, don't you mind." ”
"Don't mind, I know you're kind. The uncle patted his wife on the back and said, "My wife has been in poor health in the past few months, her appetite is not good, she has lost several pounds of weight, and she often has an inexplicable fever. ”
"Hemophagocytic syndrome, primary or reactive, has the underlying cause been found?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
"The hospital did various tests, but did not find a specific cause, which may be primary. ”
The uncle's face was worried when he spoke, although his wife took the medicine and the symptoms were alleviated, but the cause could not be cured without finding out the cause.
The aunt comforted and said: "I'm just old, people, when I get older, all parts of my body will have problems, I'll just go back and raise them." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao felt powerless and a little discouraged, if she had studied clinical at the beginning, maybe she would be able to help her aunt at this time.
Boss Qi is delicate, and at a glance at Lin Xiaoxiao's expression, you can know what she is thinking.
