A journey for four people.

One stayed at the starting point, one at the halfway.

Only Qiao Shan was left alone to send Jiang He to join the company.

The towns on the road became more and more scarce, replaced by long, uninhabited mountains and plateaus, and in addition to the flat roads representing the traces of human beings, the primitive face of nature began to gradually reveal before the eyes of the two men.

Small kiosk

……

Along the way, I passed through a certain town for a night's rest.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, the two went on the road again, this time driven by Jiang He, and Qiao Shan sat in the passenger seat.

It's funny to say that although Dongji Island is so small that you can't even drive a car, almost everyone on the island can drive, because the young people on the island don't have anything else to do except fish.

At that time, the slogan of Miao Zidao Driving School was: "Learn to drive, give life another choice." ”

Therefore, most of the young people who go to the mainland from Dongji Island are in the same business as Haohan, either driving taxis, trucks, and transport vehicles......

Therefore, although he has been teaching for ten years, under the influence of everyone, Jiang He has also learned to drive and obtained a driver's license.

……

Travelers say that the journey is actually lonely and boring.

Qiao Shan didn't feel much about this.

In the co-pilot position, Qiao Shan was holding a puppy in his arms and was teasing with interest.

The puppy is an Alaskan puppy, it looks like it is only three or two months old, it was picked up by chance on the way, because there is no store in front of the village, the puppy looks hungry, howling at the vehicles along the way, guessing that it is a wild dog or a lost domestic dog, so the two took this little Alaska with them.

Qiao Shan felt that this puppy was the one that Hao Han River bumped into in the original plot.

However, the original plot of the movie is too literary, many plots are fragmentary, and the story of the movie is stated in flashbacks from Hu Sheng's perspective, and it is still the story of Jianghe's "Traveler", so Qiao Shan is not sure if everything that happened on their way will really happen like the original plot.

"Before, Jiang He's face was declining, and Haohan was even blackened, looking like he was about to die, until Haohan was sent back to Changxi Town, and the two of them turned around...... It seems that the original plot can only be used as a reference, and you can't really believe it. ”

Qiao Shan said secretly in his heart.

……

……

The road became more winding and the road began to be intermittent.

Because Bayi Town is not completely on the national highway, they have to pass through a section of mountain and forest roads on the way before they can re-board the Tibetan and Qingdao Highway.

On the way, the two stumble upon a small restaurant.

Behind the restaurant is a small village with a patchwork of low houses.

Stopping the car in surprise, the two of them got in, and just found a place to sit down, and soon an old mother came from the back kitchen.

The old mother was wearing an apron, her face was dark yellow, and she was dressed neatly.

"What do you want to eat, two guests?"

Handing over a menu, Jiang He was secretly surprised when he saw the price on it: "So expensive? ”

The old mother wiped her hands with an apron and explained in broken Mandarin: "It's not expensive, we have a small place here, we don't make money to open a restaurant, and we have to buy vegetables and meat from cities far away." ”

Qiao Shan looked at the price, didn't say anything, ordered a few dishes casually, and returned the menu to the old mother.

"The mountains are high, it's normal to be expensive, it's nothing."

The small restaurants here seem to make money from their travelers passing by along the way, and since it is a one-time transaction, how can they do it if they are not slaughtered.

Qiao Shan's divine sense scanned it, and there was a menu at the cash register, which was more than half the price of the one they had in their hand, and that menu was obviously for the locals.

"Boss, the price is fine, but the dishes must be cooked well, otherwise it will not taste good and you will not be paid!"

Qiao Shan said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

The old mother was also very happy: "Don't worry! Definitely let you eat and drink well! ”

The two guests ordered a meal of three or four hundred yuan at once, which topped the income of her small restaurant for two days, and when she saw Qiao Shan say this, she naturally didn't dare to take it seriously.

The passengers along the way are not all honest people, and she will also watch people put out dishes.

……

……

The old mother was stir-frying in the back kitchen, and Qiao Shan's divine sense observed for a while, but he was also relieved.

Although his cooking skills are far worse than his own cooking, he is not a hypocritical person, as long as the other party cooks well and does not play tricks, a few hundred yuan is not taken to heart by him.

Before the main dish came up, Qiao Shan and Jiang He drank a plate of cold dishes.

In such a remote area, no one went to check for drunk driving, and Jiang He knew Qiao Shan's alcohol consumption and driving skills, so he did not adhere to the morality of cultural people.

The two chatted about the knowledge and scenery along the way, and explained the local customs and customs.

Suddenly, there was an intermittent roar of motorcycles outside the tavern, and after a while, a man dressed as a knight walked in with a helmet.

"Damn, I'm in trouble...... Huh? And those who have entered Tibet? ”

……

The man wears a navy blue stand-up collar shirt on the upper body, a gray warm and windproof jacket on the outside, and the pants on the lower body look like the same suit as the jacket, which is also light gray.

He came to Qiao Shan's table and sat down, and said with a somewhat restrained and embarrassed smile: "Hello, can you ask, you ...... Is it also a traveler who has entered Tibet? ”

Qiao Shan and Jiang He glanced at each other, and looked at the man with a dark face.

The man's face looked obviously in a state of being exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, and it was almost burned, and with this gesture, it looked like a cyclist riding a motorcycle into Tibet.

Jiang He said honestly: "We are not travelers, but we are indeed going to Tibet. ”

Qiao Shan's expression was a little strange, he took a sip of the beer bottle in one hand, held a cigarette in the other, and said with a faint smile: "He is a teacher, he was assigned to Bayi Town, where are you going to teach." ”

"Bayi Town !!"

The swarthy man's eyes lit up suddenly, he looked at Jiang He, and stammered a little: "Then, can I take a ride?" ”

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself!" The man straightened his face, sat upright and said seriously: "You can call me Alu, I believe you can also see it, I am a traveler, originally I planned to enter Tibet alone, but it seems that except for a little accident, my motorcycle broke down." I can wait a few days, but my purpose this time is to see NT3M5P, and if I go late, I won't be able to see it, so ...... Can you give me a ride? ”

"Don't worry, don't look at me like this, but I'm not a bad person!"

……

Jiang He pushed his glasses and wondered, "What is NT3M5P?" ”

Qiao Shan looked at Jiang He, first a little puzzled, but soon understood again, and couldn't help but laugh a little.

In the original plot, Jiang He, but I know what this code represents, and now it seems that the other party has embellished the current experience in the book.

The man, Aru, took off his coat and smiled sincerely, explaining, "Enhanced version of the fifth generation of the third Voyager! A Finn blue satellite, launched in the three countries of Afghanistan, is used to explore outer space and chase Voyager 1. ”

"I feel like my destiny is like that satellite, the rocket that sent me to outer space......"

Aru slowly tells a poignant story about himself and his wife.

The story moved Jiang He, looking at Alu with a face of vicissitudes, a feeling of empathy arose.

Soon, Jiang He agreed to Alu's request for a ride.

even took the initiative to invite Alu to sit with them for dinner, and the three of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, Qiao Shan listened with a smile most of the time, and did not interject, and even took the initiative to let the old mother add two dishes.

For a time, the guests and hosts were happy.
