Chapter 187: The Earthy Yellow of the Crane
It wasn't given to me by Wei Xiuwen, do you think I stole it? I gave him a blank look and turned to a loud voice, "Of course! ”
Tang Kai stopped talking, but stared at the piece of paper in front of him in a daze, and finally reached out and gave it back to me. "You take it away, and it will be useful in the future."
"You haven't told me what this thing is!" I took the piece of paper and muttered.
Tang Kai inserted the key into the hole and twisted it hard, and the tranquility of the moment immediately became noisy. His words sounded chaotic in the abrupt sound of the engine just starting.
"Amulet, keep it close to you."
I wondered what Saobao was doing with the amulet for me, I really went to the ghost gate and never returned. I immediately took out my mobile phone and wanted to send him a text message, only then did I remember to say goodbye in a hurry, and I didn't even save his latest number, which shows how anxious I am on this trip.
After the car drove on the road for a while, I felt a quiet place in my ears, and some mountains and hills gradually grew on both sides, near and far. This place is blue and wide, there is no industrial pollution, there is no hustle and bustle of the city, as if nothing exists, but it is not that stuffy silence, but the sea and the sky, and the heart seems to be as comfortable as a huge opening.
Inadvertently, I snorted comfortably, and was heard by Tang Kai.
"It's the first time you've been in this wilderness." He said. This voice is neither high nor low, as if it is talking to me, and it seems to be talking to itself, giving people a sense of distance, but not too distant. This is probably the way nature deals with people. "People like you who have lived in big cities generally have a hard time experiencing the beauty of barrenness. Actually, when you don't care about anything and are chic and alone, you won't be so nostalgic for fame. You see. How good it is to be free. ”
As if in response to the situation, a small black dot suddenly appeared on the side of the road, slowly moving. Curious, I looked at the window and watched the little things grow bigger and bigger, and I found that it was a group of people who were dressed very modestly. To be more precise, it should be tattered, and many strips of cloth on the clothes are torn. A huge hole is exposed. The shirt inside is in full view.
But they didn't seem to pay any attention to themselves, and they still took a step and bowed a step. His face was burned black and red by the strong sunlight. His expression was so religious. Before I knew it, I felt like I was in heaven, and my whole person felt like a new person. It seems that the book is right, and the west is indeed a place closer to heaven. No wonder it is often said that Western Elysium.
The car had been out for a while, and it had already left the group behind. Look at me and I'm still immersed in the world I just had. Tang Kai couldn't help but shout at me: "Eh, you really haven't been out of the house, haven't the pilgrims seen it?" ”
His tone, intentionally or unintentionally, always made me feel a little provocative, and I couldn't help but say, "Nonsense." I'm also a person who has been to the southwest province, okay? It's not the same there as here, it's very different, forget it. It's not interesting to tell you, you haven't been there. ”
Tang Kai was not angry. It's like hearing me talk about obscure classics in college, and it doesn't debunk me to my face.
"I can't say I haven't been there, it's just that it's not convenient for one person after all. I didn't expect you to be really different, you can run Southwest Province alone. I'm in a hurry that sorcery or something is quite prevalent, and it can be helpful for you to collect materials. ”
I didn't answer, listening to his sentence "go alone" made me feel like I was lying, and my face began to heat slightly. Indeed, last time there were many people with me, and this time I was really alone.
Tang Kai estimated that he saw my flushed face in the rearview mirror, and suddenly became nervous, and quickly asked, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
I was a little confused by this mindless question, and replied, "No?" ”
"If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me." Tang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, but his voice still revealed worry, "A child like you who has never been far away, if there is a high reaction, it will be a terrible thing." ”
I haven't been far away, what a child, didn't I already say that I had been to the southwest province? I was about to reply, but suddenly I saw a stone monument next to the road, clearly engraved with the current altitude. He really didn't lie, when I saw this height, I really felt like I didn't get up in one breath, but fortunately it was in the car, and I didn't need to be afraid.
"Wu Chao, look ahead." Tang Kai said.
I poked my head forward, and my eyes widened. "That'...... Is that a snowy mountain? It's so beautiful, is there already snow this season? How high is that mountain, isn't it Nalagu? Isn't there a lot of little flags on it, eh, isn't Mount Everest on that tip, have you climbed it, and are there a lot of small flags on it? Are pilgrims going to the point? ”
Tang Kai listened to my question in one breath, and almost didn't suffocate, but he felt a little funny, giggled, and replied: "It's a snowy mountain, don't you know that there is snow on the snow all year round?" However, it is sometimes snowy at the foot of the mountain during this season. That's not Nala Lone, that's a scenic spot, and there are a lot of people. How can Mount Everest be seen by you, how high is that, I can't go up, it is said that someone went up to the sleeping bag and was blown away, and lost a leg. Of course, pilgrims go to Tibetan Buddhist places, so why go to the top of the mountain? ”
He answered my questions one by one, and my eyes stared at the snow-capped mountains, imagining the scene of goose feathers and snow in the movie, and I suddenly felt that I had passed through an era. Why don't pilgrims go to the top of the mountain, that place, isn't it closer to heaven?
Where the heart is at peace, there is heaven.
If there is still a chance to fulfill that promise, I must take Qin Chuyi to this place for a walk, climb and climb, and see what the god who played tricks on us looks like.
I was thinking, my body didn't pay attention, my head hit the back seat of the driver again, fortunately, Tang Kai's car interior is leather, I didn't hurt, but I was a little angry, thinking that such a good road, the road is extremely smooth, and I didn't even see other cars, why did you brake suddenly. But on second thought, is there some animal passing in front of the car? In TV dramas and documentaries, a large family of rare animals swayed past, not at all polite, and the car had to be avoided.
Tang Kai didn't stop after braking, opened the car door and ran over. The force of the closing was so great that the peace charm hanging on the rearview mirror swayed. I stuck my head out curiously to see what was going on.
There were no animals and no people, just a car, with double jump lights, slanted to the side. At first glance, this car looks similar to Tang Kai's, it is also black off-road, the difference is that it is significantly smaller, and it should be a family car used for transportation in the city, not specifically for off-road.
Standing next to the car should be the owner of the car, tall, with a slightly bulging belly, wearing a jacket, it looks like he came out to travel, it seems that he has encountered some problems, black sunglasses are full of sadness, and the moment he sees Tang Kai's car, he is as excited as seeing a savior.
I slowly pulled the window, and with the experience of the previous time, I didn't dare to pull too much at once, and wanted to hear what they were communicating. But I don't know if it's too windy or too far away, and I can't hear clearly no matter how I prick up my ears. However, judging from the expressions between the middle-aged man and Tang Kai, the conversation went very smoothly.
I saw that Tang Kai finished chatting with the man, nodded with a smile, turned around and walked in the direction of the car, and then asked curiously: "Tang Kai, what are you talking about, who is that person, do you know him?" ”
"I don't know," he shook his head, and when he saw my expectant eyes, he had to continue to explain: "Those two people came out by car, and wanted to go to the holy land of Tibetan Buddhism, but they didn't know if their brains were squeezed by the door or what, and they didn't even calculate how much fuel they needed, which was not enough on the way back." Fortunately, I always have a little more stock, so it's not a problem to give them at all. ”
"You gave it to them, is it enough for yourself?"
"Enough, as long as nothing goes wrong, enough to go back and forth. I gave them enough to drive to the front gas station, and it should be fine. A few kilometres ahead, we will reach an aboriginal village. There are few Han people here, and everyone is very cordial when they meet, no worse than their relatives, if they can help, they will always have to help. After he said this, he closed the car door, walked to the back of the box, took out a box of oil, slowly walked to the middle-aged man, and handed the tank to him.
This was so excited that the man almost knelt. The wife of the two also came out to thank him. Her head and face were wrapped in scarves, and a huge toad mirror on her face covered most of her face, and she could vaguely see the faint thin skin and tender meat. Nowadays, city dwellers especially like to be close to nature, but when they get close, they don't seem to use their minds. In such a deserted place, let alone encountering a car that can help, even if you run into another car, it is almost pie-in-the-sky luck.
The two of them kept thanking Tang Kai, nodded their heads, and waved at me when they saw me sticking my head out of the window. I suddenly felt a warmth from the bottom of my heart, very gentle, and responded with a warm smile. Sure enough, relying on parents at home and relying on friends when going out, the old saying is not nonsense.
The two filled up their cars with gas and happily prepared for their return trip. In this moment, my eyes suddenly saw something in the back seat of their car that made my heart beat faster.
"Hey, Wu Chao, where are you going?"
When I heard Tang Kai say this, I had already walked out of my ears with the whirring wind. I don't know if I was too nervous, but I barely felt any cold, and ran forward mechanically until I approached the car and pulled the door open in the back seat.
It was nothing else, it was the earthy yellow that I was familiar with and could not be more familiar with, the earthy yellow of the crane. (To be continued.) )
