Chapter 224: Chasing the Wild Footprints

One man, one dog, a road that seems to have no end.

It's a lonely journey.

The vast yellow earth on both sides of the highway is covered with a pitiful layer of green, and it has not rained for many days, and the occasional strong wind blows, which is a piece of dust.

The afternoon sun was scorching, and the air seemed to be distorted by heat.

Lin Yi wore sunglasses and drove forward calmly, feeling as if he was experiencing a spiritual grind, the recent unhappiness, as the wheels ran over the road, a little bit by the openness brought by the wilderness.

Probably, everyone will experience many similar moments of enlightenment in their lives.

The black tiger was lying on the co-pilot, wilting and sticking out his tongue, Lin Yi felt sorry for it, thought about it or wiped his sweat, and decided to stop in Korla in front of him, wait until the sun was not so strong, and then continue to move forward.

As a treasure among pears, Korla fragrant pears can be said to be famous all over the world, come here, don't go to the local orchard to see, by the way to buy some, it's just for nothing.

It was when it was so hot that his throat was smoking, thinking of the crisp, tender, sweet and juicy taste of Korla fragrant pears, Lin Yi increased the throttle and went straight to Korla.

As a veritable "pear market", there are many orchards around Korla, and some families have built pergolas on the roadside to sell some fruits grown in the orchards, or sell some food and drink for passers-by to rest.

Lin Yi was on the road alone, and he didn't dare to go to the empty and unmanned shop until he arrived at an orchard that looked very big, and saw a group of people sitting in the pergola drinking herbal tea, both men and women, so he parked the car on the side of the road and led the dog to get out of the car.

"Hello, do you have any pears?"

Thinking about the sweetness of pears all the way, Lin Yi saw the boss and asked directly.

There are two baskets of grapes on the long table under the pergola, one basket red and one green, sprinkled with water, it seems that the grapes are crystal clear and very attractive, but Lin Yi has just been diverted from Turpan, and there are still grapes that she bought in the morning, which can't tempt her at all!

"Ha pears are not yet in season! You have to come again in September! Our pears are good! Can't you be in a hurry and thirsty? Why don't you have a bowl of herbal tea? Our herbal teas are all good."

The eldest sister who sells grapes wears a gorgeous flower headscarf, and after listening to Lin Yi's words, she can't stand up with a straight smile, feeling like the yellow bird sung in the children's song there, and she wants to sing two sentences, "The grapes are ripe very early, what are you doing now?"

Lin Yi is not familiar with farming, she has long been accustomed to everything in the market, she just passed by here and remembered this delicious pear, how do you know that the pear is still growing on the tree, and if you want to ripen, you have to wait until September?

I couldn't help but be embarrassed for a while, asked the price, took a thermos pot from the car, and bought a pot of herbal tea.

Looking at the scorching sun outside, I thought I had found a seat under the pergola.

Seeing that the black tiger was very thirsty, with the consent of the boss, he went to the car to take down his dinner plate and asked for a little boiled water to quench its thirst.

There were originally five people sitting in the pergola, three men and two women, and when they saw her come in, they made a funny joke, and they were already kind, and when they saw her treating a dog intimately, someone couldn't help but talk:

"What a good dog!"

"It must have taken a lot of effort to keep it that way with it during the trip. ”

Lin Yi couldn't figure out where they came from, and with the attitude that more things are better than less, he didn't plan to talk to them, but he didn't expect them to take the initiative to talk, so he replied with a smile:

"It didn't take much effort, it was very sensible, it knew that it was no better outside than at home, what to eat, very well-behaved!"

"This is not a dog can be sensible, if the owner is not careful, feed it unhygienic things, the dog is also easy to get sick, especially during the journey, and it is obviously very healthy. ”

The woman who looked very weak sitting in the corner shook her head, disapproving of Lin Yi's statement.

Lin Yi is poor in words and doesn't want to argue too much about these.

After adding water to the black tiger, she heard another sturdy man praise her car: "The car is also a good car! The little girl is bold, and she dares to come here alone! Not bad!"

Seeing him give him a thumbs up and praise him, Lin Yi was stunned in his heart!

People who have lived in one place for a long time will look different. She is from the province, her accent can be concealed, and it is impossible to be exactly the same as the locals without the help of a professional in terms of appearance, and she is on a trip, so it is impossible to act anytime and anywhere.

Although she is keen on improving her acting skills, she is not perverted to this point!

Traveling alone, listening to people praise their dogs and their cars, there is always a sense of crisis, as if they are being targeted.

Therefore, Lin Yi just smiled perfunctorily and didn't say much.

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't plan to answer, the man realized that his words were not appropriate, and hurriedly poured the remaining half bowl of herbal tea with a red face, and explained:

"I'm from the Wildlife Conservation Association, they are from CCTV, he is from the Academy of Animal Science of Xinjiang Agricultural University, and she is from National Geographic."

Lin Yi's eyes just retracted from the roofs of the two off-road vehicles next to him, and asked casually, "Are you here to make a wildlife documentary?"

"Huh, how do you know?"

Lin Yi smiled but said nothing.

Having dealt with all kinds of shooting instruments all her life, she knows better than anyone what is suitable for which time.

Some things are too big to fit in the car, so they can only be tied to the roof, and their car is also modified, specially equipped with a sturdy shelf, just to facilitate the carrying of these things, she saw it, and naturally guessed it.

Coupled with the composition of this team, the scope has narrowed again, and it is naturally not difficult to say their purpose so accurately.

"Well, that's it, you see, we're not bad people. Ha, haha"

The person who opened his mouth to lift the car smiled awkwardly, but Lin Yi didn't say anything.

She doesn't care if the people she meets on the road are good or bad, keep enough distance, not indifferent or enthusiastic, and can protect herself the most.

After resting for half an hour and settling the tea money, Lin Yi led the dog on the road again, as for where these people went and which way to go, she didn't care, so naturally she wouldn't inquire.

In the evening, after arriving in Kashgar smoothly, Lin Yi picked a hotel that looked good, and after a lot of effort, he took the dog to live in.

In an unfamiliar place, and near the junction of several countries, at night, Lin Yi did not plan to go out to forage for food, and directly solved dinner in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.

In the evening, the barbecue stall with ethnic characteristics outside the restaurant begins to smoke, and the authentic red willow skewer with sturdy mutton sizzles on the grill, and the cumin is sprinkled, and the fragrance wafts throughout the street.

The lively folk songs are wafting, and the people walking back and forth have a completely different exotic style, so that outsiders can't help but stop and watch.

Just as she was standing at the door waiting for the barbecue master to roast her so that she could pack it upstairs to satisfy the dog's cravings, there was a burst of laughter at the door, and the few people she had just met in the afternoon met again.

Lin Yi still had a not far or close attitude, seeing them smiling at herself, she smiled back, listened to their cheerful greetings and said "What a coincidence", and replied "What a coincidence! Have you eaten?", a few words of greeting that were not salty or light, and he didn't plan to say more, but the strong man of the Wildlife Conservation Association couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to tell her about the things after the separation in the afternoon.

Thinking about it, he was too excited in his heart, and he was suffering from no one to share, so he would see Lin Yi, who had only one side, so he spoke enthusiastically:

"We photographed a snow leopard today! A female leopard with a baby leopard! Good luck! I hope they can grow up healthy and have many children! Keep reproducing! How beautiful they are! Jump over the hill and disappear into the bushes, the beauty of that moment is beyond words."

The man talked endlessly, and several other people ordered barbecue beer, and sat down at the empty table next to them, drinking beer while waiting for the barbecue, and when they saw Lin Yi standing still, they called her to sit together, as if Lin Yi's vigilance, they didn't take it to heart, but simply rejoiced at this accidental reunion.

Perhaps, they just understood her caution, so they had already forgiven.

After two rounds of chance encounters, Lin Yi also saw that these people are all technical streams or experts and scholars, and they are not particularly good at communication.

Considering that they didn't look like bad people, and the things they talked about were not something to talk about, she also came to talk to them about wildlife conservation.

"These elves are getting fewer and fewer, and we don't know if it's too late"

There was a box of equipment at their feet, presumably for safety, and they carried these valuables with them, not in the car.

As the conversation went on and on, we talked about poachers, smugglers, and animals that were about to disappear or were already endangered.

They scolded, spurned, and felt distressed

Chatting, the woman from National Geographic took out a picture album from her backpack, opened the cherished pages, and pointed it out to Lin Yi.

"Look, it's a Tibetan antelope."

Pages and pages of exquisite color pictures, as if these animals left the only remaining memories of human beings, are clearly vivid, but they are on the verge of gray extinction

"This is the white-sided dolphin, this is the goose-throated antelope, this is the forest musk deer, this is the sable"

The meat had already been roasted, but Lin Yi sat still, his eyes glued to the album, his ears pricked up, listening to them talk about their dreams and persistence, and listening to them scold the reality that was not optimistic

Time passed, and the original strangers suddenly became very good friends, even if they didn't know each other's names.

Under the influence of alcohol, they are already slightly drunk.

"I don't know when they're gone, or if it's too late. Lenses, films, are meant to be used for these meaningful things."

The mood is a little heavy.

Lin Yi thought of a lot, a lot.

The camera should record something meaningful!

As an actor, should you also take the initiative to take on certain social obligations?

In this way, it is not bad to lose some opportunities.

Spending a lot of energy to play a distorted historical figure doesn't seem to have any great significance, that Su Mala Aunt is not the real Su Mala Aunt.

The last trace of unwillingness in my heart also dissipated.

The dark clouds that had been pressing on my heart for days dispersed, revealing a new world full of sunshine.

When people are alive, it is better to have a little more positive energy.

During the journey, he met such a group of people with dreams but pity and anger in his heart, Lin Yi was very touched in his heart, and he couldn't help but think about where to go on the road of acting in the future.

For fear that these people would get drunk and make a mistake, Lin Yi ignored their refusal, waited for them to finish eating, sent them upstairs, and saw that all the equipment used to record precious images had entered the house, so she returned to the room with the barbecue that had been cold.
