Qinghai, Chaka, the altitude here has become higher, the sky is blue and transparent, and most of the time the field of vision is exceptionally open. Youxiao had heard of the white salt lake here. The road paved with salt, the endless white salt sea, and the pale blue water hole are all things he has always longed for. Naturally, I want to see it, and it is not in vain.

He asked people all the way in which direction the salt lake was. But when Youxiao came to Salt Lake, he couldn't believe his eyes! Boundless were countless reddish cracked salt blocks, and the pale blue water holes had disappeared without a trace. What's going on?! Why is this happening?!

Facing this red salt lake, in addition to shock, You Xiao also had a trace of sadness, "This endless pale red should not be human blood." It was the bleeding of the earth, the tears of Mother Earth, and the tears had long since dried! "It's another kind of soul-stirring beauty, a mysterious and sad beauty.

You Xiao came to the town weakly and found a noodle restaurant. The houses here are very simple, and people don't seem to be very willing to interact with people. After asking for a bowl of somen noodles, he insisted on stopping the middle-aged waiter. The waiter reluctantly asked him, "I'm going to serve you noodles, what's the matter with you stopping me?" ”

"I want to ask you, why did your salt lake become like this? You must know. ”

"Alas! There's nothing I can't tell you about that. Three months ago, bubbles began to bubble in many places in the salt lake, and within a few days it became like it was boiling. Then there was a big strange rain, and not only was the salt lake still bubbling, but it also began to slowly turn red. Then it didn't rain, and the salt lake dried up. There was no way to produce it anymore, because the reddish salt was inedible, and no one wanted it. I'm a worker somewhere, and I'm lucky enough to work as a waitress here. ”

Youxiao was stunned as he listened, and the man took the opportunity to retreat. Youxiao seemed to remember something, "A few months ago, I seemed to have heard of acid rain somewhere, and it was hot and drought. It's just that I've been too busy to care about every disaster news. It is unheard of to force the waiter to ask the waiter so much. He said, "I see." ”

I only heard someone behind Youxiao say: "I see? It's just a façade. And he didn't go any further.

You Xiao turned around and found an old man drinking tea. There is no one else on the side, so this old man is naturally the one who speaks. So he went over and said respectfully, "Hello, old man." Even if it's the appearance, you must know the inside story, can you tell me? ”

The old man smiled slightly, didn't look at him, and said, "Boy, you better eat noodles first!" Then he raised his glass and took a sip of tea, his movements leisurely.

You Xiao thought to herself, "Seeing that he doesn't care, it's better to finish the noodles first." So he replied, "It's fine." ”

In the blink of an eye, the noodles have been served. The thick soup in the large coarse porcelain bowl has a golden color, and there is nothing but two slices of beef. But this seemingly simple bowl of noodles made Youxiao unexpectedly admired, "The gluten is sweet and sweet, the beef is fragrant and chewy, the soup is fragrant and incomparably fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless, refreshing!" ”

The waiter who listened was smiling.

You smiled and ate it cleanly, and there was no soup left. But when he looked back, he was in a hurry, stood up and looked around, and asked, "What about the old man?!" When did he leave? Why don't you tell me! ”

The waiter didn't dare to talk back, but muttered in his heart, "You didn't tell me to tell you!" He didn't forget to ask Youxiao to collect money.

Youxiao threw down the money and hurriedly rushed out, looking left and right, hoping to see where the person was going. But at this moment, someone tapped him on the shoulder. It wasn't heavy, but the speed was like being hit by a bullet, and he sank down, barely standing still.
