Chapter 22: Outing II
The hotel is located in the center of Xining, so the city of Xining is quite developed, but there is a kind of freedom and peace.
An Yiran and An Yingwei didn't go to any specialty stores, Uncle Zhang asked a local tour guide in Xining that the best and most famous thing in Xining is the food street. The three of them took a taxi to the food street, and they hadn't eaten dinner after getting off the plane, and the three of them were a little hungry, just enough to taste the local food.
Sitting in the taxi, An Yiran and An Yingwei sat behind, and Uncle Zhang sat in the front row.
The driver the three of them met was a local, a very enthusiastic and bold uncle, with some flat and round faces with some plateau red, which made people feel a little festive at first glance.
"Where are you from?" The driver asked.
An Yiran sat in the back seat of the car and replied, "We are Haishi people." ”
"Haishi? It's a big deal. It's a little hot in the summer, and I went to the sea market to see friends last year. The driver responded enthusiastically, "You have come to the right place in Xining, this is really a good place." ”
The Mandarin with some Qinghai dialect made the brother and sister dizzy, and Uncle Zhang naturally continued the conversation. When I was a mercenary, I traveled all the way to the north and south, and I never heard any accent.
"We actually came to Kunlun Mountain for tourism, and we just got off the plane today, and we are trying to solve dinner."
"Then you have to try Xining's food, I recommend it to you, it is in the very famous hand-grabbed mutton restaurant on Koufu Street."
"It turns out that street is Koufu Street, so I bothered the master to take me there."
"It's okay, it's okay."
"This uncle, you are from Xinjiang." An Yingji asked politely
The driver smiled heartily, "I didn't expect this little brother to see that I am from the Xinjiang Hui ethnic group, but I work here in Xining." ”
An Yiran is also very curious, hasn't An Yingzhen never come out much? How did he know.
An Yingyan had no intention of giving An Yiran a solution, pretending not to see An Yiran's eyes full of curiosity.
Along the way, the driver chatted with them very happily and took them to one of the most authentic local finger lamb restaurants.
The three of them had a big meal, and this authentic food in Xining was really extraordinary. This hand-grabbed mutton is served to see, the roasted mutton fat is bright and shiny, the materials are very sufficient, the color and fragrance are strong, and the taste is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crisp and smooth, but it is very chewy.
After eating the hand-grabbed mutton, the three of them went to the food street to hang out, packed a lot of snacks, and went back to the hotel for supper and breakfast.
Early the next morning, the driver with Uncle Zhang's appointment was already waiting at the door of the hotel to take them to Kunlun Mountain.
An Yiran is a pity that the snack packed back yesterday was not eaten in the end, and it was a pity that it was thrown into the trash.
An Yingwei comforted and said: "It's okay, when we come back from Kunlun Mountain, we can go back to Xining to stay for a while." ”
What she enjoyed most was to be comforted by such a gentle and gentle young man who was usually very paralyzed and cold, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.
Xining's morning already starts at 6 o'clock. They made the car at 7 o'clock and have already begun to see the sun rise.
Outside the hotel are two straight poplar trees, the golden sunlight shines through the foggy clouds, through the gaps in the poplar leaves sprinkled in the lobby of the hotel, the clean hall is even printed with mottled poplar leaf shadows, An Yiran and An Yingji's faces are imprinted with a faint soft light. Uncle Zhang stood next to the car, watching the two children take care of each other, and his expression was unimaginably soft.
I hope these two siblings will always take care of each other like this.
Although Uncle Zhang took them out, he was reluctant to wronged them on the journey, and it was not the time for him to go to the rivers and lakes alone. The hotel is the most comfortable, and the cars are rented in very spacious SUVs. An Yiran and An Yingzhen did not feel any discomfort along the way.
At this time, neither of them thought about what their journey would be like if there was no Uncle Zhang, and would it be so smooth sailing.
But without Uncle Zhang's trip, they probably wouldn't need to be accompanied by anyone for a long time.
By the time we arrived at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain, it was already completely dark.
The three of them stayed in a hotel near Mount Kunlun. Uncle Zhang settled the cost of the special car for the day and let the driver leave.
An Yiran has been sleeping in the car, but when he arrived at the hotel, he didn't want to sleep.
An Yingjian was a little tired, chatting with Uncle Zhang all the way, asking Uncle Zhang about his life alone, and the days before he was a competent and dedicated bodyguard of the An family.
Uncle Zhang is very happy to answer these questions, there are many things that will not be remembered and there is an inaccessible distance, and some things are told in a way that even he himself will find incredible. I think what he looked down on the most back then was to be the bodyguard of those dignitaries, and he never thought of being a full-time bodyguard, even after he stopped being a mercenary. He is a natural mercenary, and after a year in the mercenary industry, the commission he gets can already make him worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life. His strength and high mission rate have made him very famous in the mercenary industry. Even with enough money, he had no intention of leaving the mercenary profession. Until his last mission, he ran into trouble and was seriously injured, and then he was rescued by An Baisheng, and since then he has become the bodyguard of the An family. An Baisheng actually didn't mean to repay the favor, at that time, he just let him protect Su Lianyi for a period of time after he recovered. After the deed was completed, he was given 10 million, but he didn't leave in the end, that's it. Since then, he has become a full-time bodyguard for the An family, and the twists and turns are not for outsiders.
Uncle Zhang has been taking two siblings since the two of them were young. Uncle Zhang has a very hideous scar on his face, which has scared many children to cry. But whether it is An Yingzhen or An Yiran, who is six years younger, he has never been frightened and cried by his appearance. At that time, he immediately fell in love with the two children, and protecting them as they grew up became one thing he was willing to do.
Listening to Uncle Zhang's talk about the various commissions he accepted back then, he went to various parts of the world to complete him. An Yingjian felt very sorry in his heart, if he hadn't been a bodyguard in An's house back then, he would have lived a different life.
Uncle Zhang glanced at him with a smile and said, "I always felt that I was very lucky to be rescued by your father back then. Mercenaries are too adrift, and if I were still a mercenary, I probably wouldn't settle down in my life and wouldn't have a real home. Maybe when you wake up one day, you will be decapitated by the enemy you made back then. These words were a little bloody, but they also made An Yingji understand a little.
"Young Master, only when you lose do you know what you have gained. If I hadn't come to Anjia, I wouldn't have met your Aunt Xu and had a stable home. Uncle Zhang's tone has always been very calm, and he looked at An Yiran, who was sleeping soundly in the back seat.
"I'll protect my sister." Young people are always surging with blood, no matter what happens in the future, An Yingji is wholeheartedly trying to protect his biological sister at this time.
An Yingwei listened to Uncle Zhang talk about his own events along the way, dominating the Golden Triangle, firing with the mafia in Italy, surviving in the Amazon wilderness of South America for two months, etc., although these experiences are far from the current An Yingji, but I can't help but have an idea of wanting to break through.
