Chapter 40: Desert Roses

"Your home? I haven't been to the South, so I really don't know what it's like. ”

"If you have a chance, I promise you won't want to leave." I said to Abidan with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Abidan suddenly got up and said to me, "Come with me, and I'll show you something."

I didn't think much of it, and got up and followed her. I saw that by this time everyone else had finished eating and went back to rest, and there were only two of us left outside and in the kitchen.

Abidan mysteriously led me into the tent, and closed the curtain of the door as if it were an underground party, and I wondered what kind of treasure she was hiding.

She walked up to her bed, turned around and smiled at me, "You turn around, I'll let you turn around and turn again."

I smiled at her, not knowing what she was going to do. After getting along with each other during this time, I found that this Uyghur beauty, who is as strong as a man, sometimes has a personality like a big sister, showing a very mature side, and sometimes like a little sister, playing around, and even likes to play some pranks.

I was waiting and wondering what she wanted to do, when I heard her whisper, "Okay."

I turned away, and the sight in front of me made me blush.

I subconsciously quickly turned back and closed my eyes, my mind blank and completely overwhelmed.

After a few seconds, I calmed down a bit, but I felt Abidan hug me from behind.

I still stood still, not knowing what to do or what to say. And Abidan behind me, slowly stretched out his hand, my brain went blank, like a sheep, at her mercy.

And she was not a wolf, but more like a gentle and wild cat, she kissed my neck and ears, and then turned lightly to me, teasing my visual nerves with her charming eyes and rosy smile, reaching out to move.

I suddenly reacted and grabbed her hand tightly, she paused, and then slowly withdrew her hand a little shyly, and took my hand and put it towards her.

Just as my hand was about to touch her, I forcibly stopped with her.

We were silent like this for two seconds, and I watched as the expression on her face changed from spring to winter.

She let go of my hand and sat back on the bed, putting on her coat.

"Yes, yes...... I'm sorry, I ...... "My brain was in a mess and I didn't know how to speak.

"No, I'm sorry for you, you go back."

It's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, I don't know what to say, I really just want to flee the scene.

I grabbed my clothes and turned to leave the tent when I heard Abidan's cry behind me.

My heart tightened, and I suddenly couldn't bear it, and I stopped, wanting to say something, but I was clumsy, and I opened my mouth only: "Abidan, I ......"

She hid her face with one hand and waved at me fiercely with the other, meaning to let me go quickly.

I didn't know what else to do, so I had to go out.

The cold wind woke me up a lot, and I was able to fully understand what had just happened.

To be honest, I've always regarded her as a good sister and not a lover in my heart, and it's completely out of my mind to do that with her, although I don't know if she doesn't treat me as a lover anymore, but I know that I must have broken her heart today.

What's more, there is only one person who haunts me, and although it is like a dream, I never want to give up.

I sighed, quickly got dressed, and went back to my tent. Almost sleepless all night, his mind uncontrollably replaying the scene just now, and also thinking about how to face Abidan in the future.

Fortunately, the next day, Abidan was still like a big sister, as if nothing happened yesterday, and I felt a little comforted to me as always.

Within a few days, we were packing up and heading back to the city.

I sat in the passenger seat of Team Chen's camel cart, and he asked me, "How is it, are you used to working here?"

I shook my head, and he smiled: "Yes, I wasn't used to coming back then, but I ate this bowl of rice." But you're still young, and there are plenty of opportunities. ”

"To be honest, I've been quite homesick lately, and I still seem to prefer the South to the desert."

He nodded: "Compared to that over there, the conditions here are indeed difficult. So what are you going to do? ”

"I don't know, but since I'm here, let's stay a little longer."

"Then come back with us to tidy up?"

When I hear about tidying, my scalp goes numb. Everyone has their own preferences, and some people may be born to do research, but for me, the sorting stage is boring, boring and tedious, and although the excavation is tiring, it is good to gain something.

I asked him, "Do I have any other choice?"

He seemed to think for a moment and asked me, "I think your drawing skills seem to be okay?"

I thought I knew a lot about drawing techniques, and I said, "Okay, what, you want to draw?"

He smiled and said, "No, no, I thought, there is a job suitable for young people, but I don't know if you are interested."

"What job?"

"I heard from D City that I was engaged in the restoration and painting of the murals in Cave M, which is all technical work, and our batch of old antiques has been tossed and moved, and there is an urgent shortage of young people, will you go?"

D City M Cave, I've heard of it, this one is too famous. It doesn't sound like a field job, but it seems to be quite interesting, and it's better than tidying up!

"Okay, I'd like to go over there too."

"Okay, I'll get in touch with you when you get back. Now there is a real shortage of people in the Northwest, and there is a shortage of everyone, even Jinshi. ”

This time, we went back to Bacheng, Province X, where there is a cultural relics and gold and stone institute, and the Chen team temporarily placed me here, and I lived well, like a small inn.

I wrote a letter to my mother at home to say goodbye.

I also received a letter from the big waist unexpectedly, and looking at the contents, it was as if I could hear him crying out like killing a pig: "Where the fuck are you dead!" Fuck, I got married and asked you to be the best man, I wrote to your house and your mother said that you went to Province X, and I wrote to the Jinshi Institute of Province X, and I was in a hurry, what the hell did you do? cough, Lao Tzu's emotional life is in place anyway, end it early, and finish it early, you really me off if you didn't come. I'm telling you, it's not over, next time you have to come to me to apologize in person! ”

I couldn't hold back a smile and wrote back to him, "I've been walking around the desert and I've just come to a populated place. You're in a hurry, aren't you, you're getting married? I keep the wine and candy for me, and I will definitely go to your house at that time. ”

I wrote to him about what I had seen here, and he should be as interested as listening to a story, and I made an appointment with him to meet him next time.

I read a book in the middle of the night, not to mention, now even the book looks very kind.

The next day, Team Chen came to me and said that they had written a letter to make an appointment with the other side, and that I would rest and play here casually, and just go to report when I had enough. After lunch, he took me on a camel to visit Lake Bo, the largest inland freshwater lake, which is really not blown, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that a lake of this volume would be found in Province X.

Team Chen said that Bohu Lake is the source of the ancient Peacock River, and the ancient waterways around the XH cemetery are also its tributaries. No matter where the ancestors of XH Cemetery came from, the principle that human beings must survive on water remains unchanged, and only with water can there be fertile land to support the continuation of civilization.

Team Chen told me that in addition to people, there is another animal that likes water - mosquitoes. In the summer, the field workers who have water in X province can kill several mosquitoes with one slap, and they have to wear protective clothing when necessary, and I itch when I hear it, and I don't want to try it at all.

After playing in Bacheng for a few days, Abidan suddenly came to me and asked me if I wanted to see the K Grottoes, of course I agreed, so we found the camels, and rode the camels to Kuxian early the next morning, and then went to Baicheng when I got to the place.

Abidan did not wear the usual Han clothes, but changed into a Uyghur long skirt, although she also wore a lot of warm clothes, but she still looked very good, and the bright red dress made her extremely beautiful and enchanting.

I asked her, "How are you wearing this dress today?"

She smiled and asked me, "Isn't it pretty?"

"No, it's so pretty."

"Then you still say. Here, it is easier to speak in Uighur clothes. ”

We sat on camels for several hours, and Abidan told me that Kuxian and K Grottoes are located in Guqiuzi, one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and that the grottoes are the products of that time, and there are many other grottoes and ancient cities around, but they are not famous.

When we arrived, we found that the grotto was also built against the mountain, and there was a lake in front of it, which was clear and transparent. The teacher said in class that several major grottoes in China, L grottoes, M grottoes, and Y grottoes, are all like this, and there is no unified statement about the reason.

Abidan found an acquaintance who worked here and took us to visit several well-preserved grottoes. While looking at these ancient artworks, I imagined what kind of Cave M I would see in D City.

At the end of the tour, we found that it was still early, so we said goodbye to the tour guide and climbed to the top of the cave mountain, looking to the north, it is the Tianshan mountain range.

Abidan suddenly asked me, "When are you going to go to City D?"

"It's just a few days, it's embarrassing to always eat and drink here for nothing."

"That'...... I'll give you a dance, and I'll see you off. ”

I nodded expectantly, and she said, "You don't know Uyghur songs, just clap your hands and beat me!"

I started clapping my hands. Abidan began to dance to the beat of my blind beat, and I adjusted the beat to follow her steps.

The sky is very blue, the clouds are very white, the snow peaks of the Tianshan Mountains are endless, and only Abidan in a red dress is like a blooming flower, beautiful and moving, the flying long skirt is like flying on the mural, the graceful posture is really like a frightening, graceful like a dragon, I have never seen such an amazing dance.

After the jump, Abidan came over and hugged me tightly, and I felt hot tears slip down the back of my neck. I also hugged her, the meaning of this hug is not a few words to say, maybe, I also like this Uyghur girl a little, but my heart is more friendship.

After some time, she let go and said, "Let's go back."
