Tokmak on
Under the clear August sky and the crisp and dry summer breeze, strolling through the northern border city of Tokmak in Kyrgyzstan, a small city with a population of less than 100,000, looking at the snow-capped mountains outside the city, Wang Fei could not have imagined that a few days ago he was trapped in the huge city of Beijing, sweating in the face of mountains of work and bosses who always wore a treacherous smile. Although the central air conditioning in the office building is running all the time, Wang Fei still feels that the artificially created cool air is comparable to the masterpiece of nature on the Chu River Plain.
After several months of working day and night, Wang Fei finally completed a big project, which brought huge profits to the company, and the boss who has always been harsh rarely bloomed with a thousand-year-old cold face and smiled like a flower - that is, his thief eyebrows and mouse eyes really smiled like "like a flower". The boss has also read "Capital", and understands that he can't blindly squeeze the poor little white-collar workers, and he has to give the labor force time to recover his "blood volume" and "mana", so he waved his hand, in addition to giving Wang Fei a large commission according to the regulations, he also approved two weeks of paid leave, asking Wang Fei to take a good rest - in order to come back to undertake a bigger and more tiring project.
Wang Fei is an otaku, and the biggest pleasure after work is to stay at home and surf the Internet, dig pits, and post on the top. History, military, politics, gossip, everything is seen, everything is understood, but everything is also commonplace, and it seems to be between understanding and not understanding.
After a long time at home, it is inevitable that there will be more fat on the body, and when I was in the video with Xiaoyu, I was mocked by her as a meat bun in a steamer, which became more and more fluffy.
Xiaoyu is Wang Fei's girlfriend, majoring in Russian, working in an oil company, and is a rare woman in the oil industry. In order to pursue Xiaoyu, Wang Fei still worked Russian language and oil knowledge, and his hard work paid off, and he touched Xiaoyu's heart with a piece of infatuation.
A year ago, Xiaoyu was assigned to work in the branch of Kyrgyzstan, and the two of them did not see each other for a day, and they had to video chat every day. Xiaoyu told Wang Fei to pay attention to exercise and not to stay at home blindly.
Helplessly, Wang Fei is a hardcore otaku who lives to the bones, and Xiaoyu can reluctantly accompany Xiaoyu to go shopping and watch movies when he is in China, as a standing item for exercise. Now that Xiaoyu is not in the country, Wang Fei really has no motivation to leave the warm and comfortable "kennel". However, in order to cope with Xiaoyu's examination, Wang Fei assured Xiaoyu that he would do Tai Chi at home every day to exercise.
Speaking of shame, Wang Fei grew up in the hometown of Tai Chi, from primary school to high school physical education classes are full of Tai Chi teaching content, but unfortunately Wang Fei was born a useless scholar with unbalanced brains and uncoordinated hands and feet, what "virtual spirit top strength, chest and back, loose waist and hips, heavy shoulders and elbows" Tai Chi mantra and "holding the tail of the bird, single whip, carrying the hand to make the upper hand, white crane wings, knee hook step, hand waving pipa, progress to move the hammer, such as sealing, cross hands, hugging the tiger back to the mountain" Tai Chi moves are clearly remembered, But the fight is always crooked, without the slightest fairy wind bones, light and elegant, but three points like a drunken fist, seven points like a monkey fist.
Although Wang Fei is not a handsome guy when he is not boxing, he can also be called a beautiful eyebrow, but when he punches, he always has the meaning of being a monkey and crowning. No matter how unhappy Xiaoyu is, as long as Wang Fei plays a few moves of Taijiquan, he can always make Xiaoyu laugh.
Xiaoyu naturally knew that Wang Fei's Tai Chi only had a funny function, and it had no effect on exercising his body, so he often wondered what method to use to get Wang Fei out for a walk.
coincided with Wang Fei's two-week vacation, Xiaoyu proposed that Wang Fei come to Kyrgyzstan to visit him, firstly, to dispel the pain of lovesickness, and secondly, to let Wang Fei come out of the nest and change his mood. It's just that Xiaoyu's work is also very busy, so he can only take a week's vacation, so he had to let Wang Fei travel in Kyrgyzstan for a week first, and then the two will meet in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, to have a happy "honey week".
Xiaoyu's recommended tourist destination for Wang Fei is Issyk-Kul Lake, east of Bishkek. Issyk-Kul is the most famous tourist attraction in Kyrgyzstan, it is the second largest mountain lake in the world, surrounded by green grasslands and snow-capped mountains, and was a famous health resort in Soviet times.
Wang Fei left the scorching heat of Beijing, wandered on the shores of the stunning plateau lakes, walked through the Russian-style villas, and indulged in the beauty and exoticism of the mountains and rivers, and couldn't help but feel that he was confined to a space of dozens of square meters before, and it was indeed difficult to fully appreciate the true charm of the world by relying solely on the Internet.
Wang Fei was ready to rush to Bishkek after staying in Issyk-Kul Lake for three days, and arranged accommodation and other matters in advance, so he couldn't let Xiaoyu arrange these trivial matters, although the otaku was average, he still had a sense of responsibility as a man.
Issyk-Kul is just over 300 kilometres from Bishkek and only a four- or five-hour drive along the A365. When Wang Fei arrived at the station in the morning, he unexpectedly encountered a Chinese tour group, a group of compatriots wearing Little Red Riding Hood and waving the small flag of a travel agency, following a tall male tour guide, pouring out of the station like a flock of sheep.
Outside the station, a few locals stood in twos and threes, pointing at the Chinese tour group. Somehow, Wang Fei always felt that their eyes flashed with a wolf-like cold light. Wang Fei sighed, and the beautiful scenery became a little blurred in this sigh.
Wang Fei is an otaku, but thanks to the Internet era, he is not ignorant of the world. Wang Fei knows that the country is getting richer and richer, and the people are gradually having some money in their pockets, and Chinese tourist groups all over the world are a silhouette of China's growing economic development.
But the problem is that our butter has increased, and the growth of artillery is not enough; We have money, but our blood has not grown with it; We cherish peace, but there are always people who think we are weak and deceitful!
"Even a few local punks dare to stare at the tour group with wolf-like eyes, treating us Chinese as a group of lambs to be slaughtered, which is really depressing!" Wang Fei was secretly unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't think of any way to deal with the predicament in front of him for a while.
"Do you know the historical ties between Issyk-Kul and our country?" The tour guide also seemed to notice something, and suddenly asked in a loud voice, in Chinese and in Russian.
Before the compatriots of the tour group could reflect it, the young tour guide began to say to himself: "Issyk-Kul Lake was called Atami during the Tang Dynasty in China, also known as Daqing Pond, and was successively under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty Anxi and Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate. Tang Xuanzang once passed by here when he traveled westward and left the earliest record of the lake in the world; Tang Dynasty poet Cen Shen's poem "Atami Xing Sends Cui Shi Yu Back to Beijing" in the Atami is Issyk-Kul Lake, this beautiful lake was once the inner lake of the Tang Dynasty, our ancestors had herded sheep and horses on this grassland, and our Tang army athletes had garrisoned the frontier on the shore of this snow-capped mountain lake. Datang's Modao and Iron Cavalry shocked the Western Regions back then, bringing peace and order to this beautiful land, bringing prosperity and wealth, and the glory of Datang is still admired today! ”
The tour guide spoke very slowly, alternating sentences in Chinese and Russian, obviously not just for the tourists of the tour group to listen. The few people who stared at the tour group did not fully understand the words of the tour guide, but felt that this young tour guide suddenly exuded a different temperament, and people with this temperament did not look like lambs who could only bleat and rescue.
"Tour guide Zhang, according to what you say, we tossed for a long time, which is equivalent to still traveling in China!" A member of the group made a witty remark along with the words of the tour guide. "If we go back to the Tang Dynasty, we will really travel in China!" Tour Guide Zhang replied with a smile, and a group of group members also laughed, and the atmosphere became warmer.
The laughter made the sneaky people a little strange, as if they felt that the timing was not good, made eye contact with each other, and left. "Let's wait a while, there will be a tour bus to pick us up soon," the tour guide Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a chapter guide, it's really good, it's a thief!" Wang Fei couldn't help but step forward and said to the tour guide who seemed to be the same age as himself.
"They're not just thieves, they can be robbers if they are lonely. Are you a human being? Be careful. "Guide Zhang also noticed Wang Fei just now.
"Yes, I'm traveling personally, don't worry, I'll be safe. If you didn't say it just now, I really can't remember that this was once the jurisdiction of the Anzai Metropolitan Protectorate. Wang Fei's half-level, which knows a little bit about everything, is undoubtedly exposed.
"Hehe, I always run the Kyrgyzstan line, so I naturally made efforts to understand the relevant knowledge. Speaking of Tokmak near Bishkek, it was still the Broken Leaf City of the Four Towns of Anxi at that time, and legend has it that the great poet Li Bai was born there, and now there are still the ruins of the Broken Leaf City! ”
"That's right, I've seen it before, didn't it say that this Tokmak is still competing with several cities in China for the title of Li Bai's hometown?" "It's all for the tourism economy." Guide Zhang replied helplessly, "In fact, there are not many people who have seriously verified where Li Bai's hometown is, and few people are interested in understanding the relationship between Broken Leaf and Li Bai, and few people care about the relationship between the Anxi Protectorate and this land." ”
Wang Fei was silent when he heard this, and only said after a while, "At least you know you care." ”
"I also care about it for the sake of eating. Originally, I cared about these just to add some content to my explanation, but after checking it, I couldn't help but feel that it was a gorgeous era, full of courage, blood and glory. In the past, when I met these ill-intentioned locals, I didn't know what to do, and they didn't have any illegal actions when they called the police, and sometimes the local police were also complicit with them, a nest of snakes and rats, which was useless. Later, after checking the information about Datang, I said something about Datang to cheer myself up when I found the clues, don't say it, after saying it, I felt as if I had changed as if I had changed a person, and I was suddenly full of strength and pride, which could scare those with bad intentions. But if we talk too much like this, we often feel depressed, can we only rely on the glory of the ancients to give ourselves courage! Guide Zhang suddenly realized something, and patted his forehead, "I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on, I have too much to say." ”
"I can understand and believe that with people like you, our country will become stronger and stronger." Wang Fei replied thoughtfully.
