Chapter 11: The Mysterious Note
Yu Yue came down from the upper floor of the Kasia Hotel, tucked the headscarf draped over her shoulders with a smile on her face, and said to Mayisha, who was standing beside her, "What do you think?" Early this morning, Maisha and Batur prepared local clothes for Yu Yue and Zhuo Fan, Yueyue was dressed in a flower dress sewn from rose red silk, with gold disc buttons on the clothes, and the neckline, cuffs and even the placket were finely and densely embroidered with small flowers, gorgeous like colorful butterflies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info She wears a flower hat with bright colors. If you don't look closely, you will really think she is a Uyghur girl. And Zhuo Fan is wearing a white robe, which is very simple and neat compared to Yu Yue.
Seeing that Zhuo Fan had a small scimitar hanging from his waist, Ma Yisha pulled it out and shook it in front of Zhuo Fan, "It's worthy of being a Zhuo reporter, and he has a sense of self-protection, but this knife is a little too expensive." After speaking, he leaned in and said, "Reporter Zhuo must know that this place is not as mixed as Hangzhou, but you should be careful of being taken away." ā
Zhuo Fan smiled lightly, and naturally took the knife in Ma Yisha's hand, "I bought this knife from a vendor in front of me, it's only a few dozen yuan, and it's not a pity to go by the way." ā
Mayisha Nu pouted, "I really didn't expect that Reporter Zhuo would be so serious when he went out." ā
Yu Yue saw that Ma Yisha was deliberately making trouble and was not disappointed, so she changed the topic, "When is Batur coming?" "Mayisha didn't pay any attention to Zhuo Fan's business, and smiled cheerfully, like a bright sunshine shining down," said Batur, who was going to prepare some things, so that we could go shopping first, and then we would go to Ayding Lake together in the afternoon. ā
The three of them soon began to shop with ease.
"Hey, Poker Face, is that Batur they just said the Batur we're looking for? If you want me to say, why don't you go to Ayding Lake, as for looking for the guide called 'Batur' all over the city, and we have been looking for it for a long time, could it be the Batur that the three people in front of us said? ā
The man noticed that the poker face had been following the three people in front of him from just now. He could tell at a glance that one of the men and one of them had just arrived, speaking and acting with jerky and curiosity, while the other woman, tall and slender, wore a tight denim suit to set off her bumpy figure. Wearing a denim wide-brimmed hat with a long pheasant feather on the brim, her face is well-defined and her facial features are exquisite, much like a Uyghur, but if you look closely, there is always an indescribable charm. At this time, Pokerface was standing on the bustling street, and the flow of people poured in front and behind him. He looked back steadily, at Kasia's broken signboard in the distance, swaying in the dry wind.
"What are you looking at?" He also looked at the three people in front of him in a daze when he saw the poker face, and raised his hand to shake it in front of his eyes, "Were you hooked by the girl just now?" Follow others all the way. Ah, that girl was so beautiful, and although I stood far away, I could see at a glance that she was very unusual. ā
Pokerface ignored him and continued to walk slowly.
As soon as the man turned around, he saw that the poker face had gone away, and hurriedly chased after him, "Sure enough, I was hooked by the girl." He shrugged, "I can understand, man." It's a nice place, the streets are full of beautiful women. By the way, what's going on with the three people in front of you? ā
At this time, not far in front of them, crossing the crowd, Mayisha warmly hugged Batur and happily said loudly in Uyghur, "Batur, are you ready?" My good Batur! After that, Yu Yue saw Batur blushing and gently pushed Ma Yisha away, holding the things in his hand tighter. Stammered something to Maisha in Uyghur.
Ma Yisha smiled after hearing this, "Batur pushed all the guests looking for him, and he has been playing with us for the past few days." With that, she hugged Batur again as a token of gratitude.
The man smiled wickedly and poked poker in the face with his elbow, "It turns out that the Batur you are looking for is him, but he doesn't know Chinese, how did he get the reputation of 'Turpan's first guide'." ā
Poker Face looked in the direction of Yu Yue and the four of them with heavy eyes, and suddenly turned his gaze away. Turn around and go.
The man hurried to catch up and complained, "We've been walking for so many days without a good rest, so where are we going now?" Can you find a place to rest first? Since you like that girl named Mayisha, why don't we go to Kasia too? ā
"Go to Ayding Lake" poker face opened his mouth this time, and just a few words made the man miserable. He grinded, "We just hiked dozens of kilometers to get here, don't you need to rest?" Are you still human? ā
As soon as the words fell, the man bumped into the back of the poker face that suddenly stopped, and his back was heavy, and he slowly turned around for a long time, "From now on, your name is Ah Shen." ā
The man was dissatisfied, what is going on with this poker face, if he wants to play a game, will he just have a name if he follows him? I followed him myself...... Although I don't know what's going on, the name Ah Shen always feels a little familiar...... He sighed, came back to his senses and saw that his poker face was about to go away again, and shouted, "If you call Ah Shen, you will call Ah Shen!" Don't go! "Pull your legs to catch up with the poker face who is going far again.
Yu Yue and Zhuo Fan stood on the side of the road, listening to Mayisha and Batur communicate in Uyghur, and her eyebrows fluttered, as if she suddenly heard the name of "Ah Shen". Looking down the street, there was a bustling crowd of people coming and going. She smiled wistfully.
Sensing that someone was pulling her clothes, she turned around and bumped into Mayisa's bright smile, "Yu Yue, Batur said that everything is ready, and we can go to the village near Ayding Lake in the afternoon to settle down, and that village is called Moonlight Village in Chinese." Batur said the village is so small and remote that few people, even the locals, know about it. When we get there, we'll rest for the night, and we'll go to Lake Ayding early tomorrow morning. ā
The corners of Zhuo Fan's mouth raised slightly, "In three days, it will be a full moon, maybe we can really see the lake mentioned in the letter." ā
Maisha waved her hand and said frankly, "That's impossible, it's not recorded in any book." And I asked Batur just now, and even Batur has never heard of this lake. I think we're really going to have to go for nothing. ā
Yu Yue can understand the reason why Ma Yisha has been holding back. Before this trip, Mayisha had looked up a lot of information on the Internet and asked her father. The conclusions reached showed that the contents of the letter were fabricated. But as Zhuo Fan said, the content of the special topic of "Wonderland" is to arouse the reader's curiosity and desire for truth, and it doesn't matter whether the lake exists or not. She thought to herself, patting Maisha on the shoulder in understanding. "How long has it been since Mayisha has been back?"
Mayisha tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It's been twenty years. When I was only five years old, I was taken away from Turpan by my father and never came back. After saying that, he turned back to talk to Batur. Seeing that they were chatting happily, Yu Yue was also happy for Ma Yisha. For many people who have not returned to their hometowns for a long time, the strongest feeling after returning is that they are not people. Yu Yue is happy that this is still Mayisha's hometown, and having an old acquaintance like Batur is enough to make up for Mayisha's unfamiliarity with her hometown for many years.
The group went back to the hotel to pack their things, Yu Yue and Mayisha lived in the same room, Mayisha was very arrogant, and after stuffing the clothes back into the suitcase, she sat quietly in the suitcase and watched Yu Yue slowly clean up. Suddenly, she snorted.
Yu Yue turned around in response, why is this girl always so frizzy? Before she could finish thinking about it, she saw Mayisha stretch out her hand and pointed at her feet, "Something has fallen." ā
Yu Yue picked it up, and it was a note, and what was written on it. And that word was enough to shock her. She was stunned for a moment, then pulled her legs and ran downstairs. The figure in front of Ma Yisha's eyes flashed, and Yu Yue had already run out of the door.
"Excuse me, did a man come in just now? White, tall, thin...... Probably...... So high. Yu Yue stood on tiptoe and raised her hand to compare her height.
The shopkeeper was a chubby middle-aged man with two mustaches who had just woken up. Yu Yue ran up to him with an excited face, and said a lot of Chinese that he didn't understand, and he shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't understand.
Mayisha, who came in to help relieve the siege, got an answer. Yu Yue hung her head in frustration and walked back.
"What is it that makes you so excited?"
Yu Yue just wanted to give her the note, but then she thought that she hadn't read the content of the note, so she hurriedly changed her tone, "I contacted a friend in Xinjiang before, and he said that he would come to me. I was worried that he had been here while I was out, so I went and asked. ā
Mayisha nodded in disbelief, "I see, seeing that you are so nervous, you think something big has happened." Let's go back and pack up. ā
Yu Yue agreed, clutching the note tightly in her palm, and quietly stuffed it into her pocket.
