Volume 1 Chapter 1: Desert Oasis
Some memories can never be retrieved once they are lost. It doesn't matter how many photos and videos there are in the past. As long as it is lost, it can only be remembered. —Epigraph
Desert oasis
There are people in the depths of the desert, and the mysterious strong man rescues them.
The overturning car comes from self-recklessness, not knowing that others are old people.
The location is in the border province, near Cheercheng. A small village on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert.
This is the closest village to Guloulan, and the ancestors were all engaged in herding or planting, and life was quite difficult. But in recent years, it has become a sweet spot, as it is not only the largest oasis in the vicinity, but also the place where the Tarim River is cut off.
In addition to the desert scenery, there are countless jade resources on the beach next door and on the ancient river channel. A large number of people who want to explore the ruins of Guloulan, enjoy the desert scenery, and outsiders who come to Taohetian seeds. This village, which may have a history of thousands of years, has a new development.
With the increase in tourists, the previous traditional industry has basically been abandoned. Open a farmhouse and cook some local specialties. Keep some camels or horses for people to play with. Find a random sand beam and get a few UTVs and ATVs for these tourists who like novel adventures to experience. Of course, the jade that was picked up by his ancestors or when he was okay was taken away at a high price. The abundant income has made every household in the village build a small second floor and a large courtyard. In the yard of every house: grape trellises, fruit trees, vegetables...... The abundance of greenery makes the village more vibrant.
Early in the morning, in a small bungalow on the edge of the village, which seemed out of place with the rest of the village, there was another knock on the door of the neighbors, and at the same time a suppressed dog barking.
"Oh, Adasi. Open the door, are you dead inside?" a grumpy knock was mixed with the roar of a bearded man. "If you don't answer the phone, what do you want to do on the phone...... Buy hot wood, and you'll tell me to kill you again!!" The dog barked ...... The threat was not taken into account at all.
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man with sleepy eyes, a stubbled beard and a repair suit, opened the big iron door. A black dog the size of a calf also rushed out and sat at the doorway with a fierce expression. Mai Reti carefully threw out two bones first. But the dog still sat still.
"Hey, buy Reti. What are you doing? Which of your friends' cars are you going to save again?" the man who opened the door was impatient.
"Hey, it's not a friend this time, it's a fat sheep. The price is very high. But run a little farther. "The man who knocked on the door is Maireti. At the moment, he seems to be in a hurry. Get started directly, pull people and want to go.
"No, you know me, a crowded place? I won't go. The man who opened the door impatiently avoided the pair that forcibly pulled his arm.
"Hey, a friend, do me a favor. My U card (Uyghur: younger brother) kissed the U card, and I took someone to pick up stones, and the car broke down. A bunch of people are out there. Only Rexiti walked up to Gaoliangzi and called me alone. If you go, I'll give you 10,000 yuan, and those who come back to repair the car don't count. "Maireti has used the killer trick - the temptation of gold coins.
"Hey, oh, the sun is rising in the west, give me 10,000, will someone give you 30,000?"
"Hey~hey~hey~ Don't say it, you're still my good brother. I don't need money to drive in? That car doesn't eat grass, it needs to drink gas. Maireti argued. As he spoke, he pulled people and was about to set off.
"Don't say more, give me fifteen thousand. Here, let's go. If you don't give it, you can go yourself. The man who opened the door couldn't dodge, and said helplessly.
"Let's go, the chariot you built for me is already hungry and thirsty. ”
"What about driving that car to pick up rocks? ............ to add money"
"Buy hot wood, look at the home. I'm going to make bone money. ”
The chariot that Mai Reti is talking about is this Toyota LC80 produced in 96, which is still carbureted. Locally it is called the bull's head. I don't know who was abandoned in the desert and pulled back by Mareti with three camels. Then all from the B-pillar onwards were cut off with a cutter. The rear girder was lengthened, and a layer of steel plate was welded to the back of the car to make it look like a single-door pickup. An ordinary off-road vehicle can be pulled down in the back, which is specially used as a special rescue vehicle in the desert. Shock absorbers are second-hand from the teams that have come to race in recent years. A total of eight thick coarse shock absorbers in the front and rear. Hydraulics what nature is not. After all, there is no need to think about comfort. In addition to the necessary machines, there is also a set of winches installed under the seats. It's a 2,300-pound Australian-made TMAX. that's more expensive than this car. However, there are no formalities for ironclad vehicles, and there is no way to get on the normal highway at all. If the police uncle sees it, he will definitely give a special experience of the small black house within seven days and fifteen days.
This car has a certain reputation in the oasis and the whole country, when it was just renovated, a big anchor Internet celebrity drove a Cayenne to cross, and it was carried through the entire Lop Nur by it, and every time it reached a point, it was put down to take a photo and video. Then continue to carry the crossing on your back. Later, the personality of the Internet celebrity collapsed, and this matter was also exposed, and it was difficult to think of being famous......
Prepare the necessary tools, wrench gloves, tow ropes, etc., change into a set of clothes, open the door man and Maireti and set off. Less than 2 kilometers out of the village, I started to walk the desert section, which is the edge of the largest desert in China, with undulating sand beams and chicken nests. Some of the dried poplar roots can be seen at any time. The compressor in the car has long been removed in order to maintain power, so the air conditioner is not to be thought about. After only a while, the two of them were already sweating profusely. The surface temperature in the desert during the day is easily forty or fifty.
"Ah, Muhete. Smoke a cigarette, where's your glasses?. "Mai Reti's face is flattering, and the face carved early by the wind and sand, the deep folds, wrinkled into a flower-like bloom.
"I didn't bring it. The man who opened the door was still impatient.
"Okay, you never wear glasses when driving in the desert anyway"
"Hey~ What do you mean, let me drive?"
"You're driving an old road (Xinjiang slang means powerful). If you don't open it, who will open it...... Hey, you drive quickly, we'll be back soon. In the evening, I will get you a big Langman (Uyghur slang: daughter-in-law)"
"Hey...... You, you're definitely a Han among the Uyghurs, your conscience is broken, and you bully the long-term workers like Bayi (Uyghur: landlord)."
"What about Fosa, we are brothers, you drive, I am very convinced. ”
"What about that place, you still need me to drive. ”
"No. 4 Tiankeng ............" After saying the address, Mai Reti felt a little blushing. At this point, the sound is much lower.
"Rest, you play with me, what time will we get back to that place tonight?"
"Hey~hey~hey~ I'll kill a sheep for you to eat at night. Knowing that you didn't eat in the morning, I also brought you yogurt gnocchi (a special dairy product in Xinjiang), and boiled air-dried meat"
"Get down and deflate. "This open-door man known as Mu Hete knew that he had been completely calculated, and he could only accept his fate at this moment. So I didn't reply angrily.
"Okay, okay. 0.8?"
“0.6。 Let's go a little faster. ”
Maireti got out of the car, found a key casually, and began to deflate the four wheels. Mu Hete changed to the main driver, lit a filter, and looked at the sea of sand that had almost been measured with his footsteps in the past few years. Didn't speak.
"Alright, let's go. Not much time. Mai Reti sat flexibly in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt before speaking.
"Hey, buy Reti, do you know what speed the plane takes off?"
"Well, my brother, you can give me wings when you scatter my chariot. ”
"Is the axle head clutch open?"
"It's ironclad, don't say too much, hurry up, hurry up, come back soon." ”
Hang on the high-speed four-wheel drive, plug in the second gear, and slowly release the clutch when you lightly press the accelerator. Wait for the car to start. The throttle is stepped directly into the engine. By the way, I also shifted to third gear. This broken car, painted sky blue, doesn't even have a silent tailpipe. A piercing roar erupted, and dust billowed behind the car.
At the beginning, it was in the low sand area without any challenges, and it was all flat beams and gentle sand slopes. The vehicle was running fast. But it's just the edge of the desert. None of the challenges are for the locals, who often steal their family's motorbikes to play. The hour before entering the Gaosha area was basically the time to hurry, and the two people in the car were chatting all the way.
"Ah, Muhete. This time, it's all you Han Chinese. I said that there are a few beautiful gules. I would like to introduce you to it? Mai Reti comfortably gnawed on the milk lump while smoking a cigarette.
"Where is it cool, where is it going. Mu Hete held the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other hand, he did not forget to stuff a piece of air-dried meat into his mouth from time to time.
"Hey~ I'm a good Buddha. Are you not as handsome as us except for your beard? You are also the kind of handsome uncle among your Han people. ”
At this time, Mu Hete glanced sideways with disdain. Eat a large piece of air-dried meat. Then they sang aloud.
"My name is Yingziso, and I've traveled all over the country. Henan girl, talk to me about it, I can't look at the girl's teeth. Sichuan girl, talk to me about that, I don't like the girl's height. Hey-Xisina Xiga ......" is a song of Xinjiang Yingzi, which has been completely ruined, and there is not a word in tune.
"Hey, you've got enough. There are 56 ethnic groups in China. 55 sang and danced after drinking. There is also one who bragged after drinking. I get it. The desert wolves that you sing and are extinct can come back and surround you. But you really are a Zabayi. Whoever you drink with is robbing" Hearing this song that broke his throat and went out of tune to his grandmother's house, Rexiti also said helplessly.
