Chapter 186: A Lifeline Only One Meter High
Ah Wuli's house is just like Chen Xing thought before, entering the door is a very long corridor, on top of which is a tall grape trellis, although it is not fruitful now, but the leaves are very rich, and everyone is in the corridor below the shelf.
Some people are sitting and chatting, some are making barbecue. The grill they barbecue is the same as the one you buy on the Internet, there is no difference, and the charcoal fire they use seems to be bought online.
Chen Xing chatted with his friends for a while and continued to walk forward. In the end, it is a jujube tree, turn right or the grape corridor, and continue to walk to the end of the red wall, there is a toilet on the side, and there are a lot of flower pots on the other side.
The vine pergolas they built were very beautiful, and if the sun was shining in the summer, the sun was shining from above and there were green leaves, and people were sitting in rocking chairs below.
Unfortunately, it's still winter, and the sky is overcast. When he returned to the entrance, the meat had already been roasted a lot, and the fragrance had been permeating the air, and the person who was roasting the meat saw Chen Xing coming over and said, "Chen Xing, take what you eat." ”
"Good!" Hanikzi also came in through the door at this time, and brought a man with him. It should be her friend.,It's a Hui person.,With fair skin, big eyes, and a high nose.,But the personality is a little shy.,I haven't talked much since I came in.,Eat is also persuaded by Hanikzi.。
After a while, Hanikzi came over to greet Chen Xing, and said with a smile: "Chen Xing, I heard that you were drunk yesterday, I thought you wouldn't come." Chen Xing ate the skewers and said, "Wherever there is food, there is me, who is that person, who has been following you?" ”
"A friend in our dorm room, who is more introverted, made an appointment to go to the movies for a while."
"What movie?"
"We've got you, have you seen it? Why don't we go and see it later? ”
"Who filmed it?" Chen Xing asked again. Hanikezi said a few names, but Chen Xing had never heard of any of them, and instantly lost interest in this movie, and when he heard the name, he felt that it was the kind of inexplicable youth film, and this kind of movie is estimated that only girls will buy it.
"I'm not going, I'm going to Kanas later, I've already made an appointment." From here to Kanas Scenic Area, it takes at least three and a half hours to drive by himself, so Chen Xing can't stay here for long, and the appointed driver will come to pick him up at half past two.
"You're going to Kanas?" Hanikzi said in surprise, and then said,
"It seems to be a little cold now, did you bring thick clothes?"
"There's something in the luggage, don't worry."
"That's fine." Hanikzi said,
"Remember to take more pictures for me to see, I haven't been to Kanas for years, and I don't know what has become of Kanas now." The drive of more than three hours is already an attraction on their doorstep for them.
But the closer you are to home, the more people don't want to go. Hanikzi remembers the last time she was a child, and she felt that there was nothing interesting over there, just some mountains and rivers or something.
The two chatted for a while, and when they saw her friend coming, Chen Xingcai said goodbye to her and parted. The news that he was going to leave soon spread here, and many people came to chat with him.
A friend who is very short: "Remember to call me when you come back another day, my house is very big, and you can come to barbecue when the time comes." A friend who sings well, but doesn't sing as well as Chen Xing: "Kurban ruined your good deeds yesterday, don't be afraid, my brother will help you cut him in a while!" ”
"Haha." Chen Xing smiled and hugged him and patted each other on the back. After eating a pre-dinner snack outside, everyone moved to the restaurant to start the main meal, and it was full of hard dishes at a glance.
For example, chicken, mutton, beef, etc., and of course, vegetables. The staple food is mixed noodles, which are made by the women of Awuli's family, and they are very hearty.
Every time he eats Western Xinjiang food, Chen Xing feels that his appetite is too small, because the food here is very large, such as the mixed noodles for one person, which is a large bowl that can only be eaten by two people in the mainland.
After dinner, Hanikzi took his friends to the movies, Chen Xing and a few people blew in the courtyard for a while, and made an appointment with Kony to climb a higher-level snow-capped mountain when the weather was good.
At two o'clock, the online car-hailing driver called Chen Xing. Chen Xing told him the address, and after about ten minutes, someone knocked on the door outside, Chen Xing put down the tea and said, "I'll drive it, I'll drive it, most of the drivers have arrived." "Outside the door was a very dark-skinned young man, but he was definitely a little older than Chen Xing.
"Hello, is that the car you're looking for?"
"Oh, it's me." Chen Xing nodded, turned back to his brothers and said, "The car has arrived, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to brag when I go over there for a few days." ”
"Okay, let's wait for you to come back and drink!" Chen Xing hurriedly shook his head: "Just drink, I can't drink enough, let's eat more." "He has a good digestion, so he is not afraid to eat any strange local food, and it doesn't matter if he eats too much.
But this is limited to food, he really can't help alcohol, it seems that no matter how much he practices, it is two glasses of liquor and five or six bottles of beer, which can only be said to be slightly stronger than when he was studying.
After the greetings, Chen Xing took his luggage from Kony's car and put it in the guy's car, then got into the passenger seat and asked, "I don't know what your name is?" ”
"My surname is Sha, you can call me Xiaosha." Chen Xing looked like a native of Western Xinjiang, and the people here generally don't have a single surname, so he said this to facilitate the call of tourists from the mainland, so Chen Xing asked: "You look older than me, I still call you Brother Sha, do you usually see more tourists?" ”
"Fortunately, I usually run the route from Altai to Kanas, and there are a lot of tourists." Chen Xing nodded and said, "Then it's also troublesome for you to make an extra trip, it's still a little far from Altai." ”
"It should be done, it should be done." He said a little embarrassed. If the money is not enough, he will not run this trip, the boss gave the money, he got the benefits, so many hours of running is nothing, anyway, I can't get any business in Altai recently, there are too few tourists this season.
Brother Sha is twenty-five this year and is saving money to marry a daughter-in-law. It stands to reason that most drivers prefer to talk, because they have to sit in the car every day, and they are all strangers, and if they don't talk to strange guests, then they have no other person to talk to.
So over the years, the driver has been in contact with more people, and he can talk to you about anything. This may be the most famous driver in the capital, but in fact most city taxi drivers are like this, you give a conversation and the two of you can talk for an hour or two.
Sha Ge is not like this, he is a relatively taciturn person. Chen Xing sometimes asked, he answered, if he didn't ask, he wouldn't say anything, just drive seriously.
After driving for a few hours, Chen Xing couldn't stand it a little, so he said, "Why don't we listen to nursery rhymes for a while?" Sha Ge nodded, and after a while, he said again: "That...... The stereo of my car seems to have broken down some time ago, and I haven't repaired it yet, so the boss will bear with it for a while, and it will be there in two hours. ”
"Two hours? It's eight o'clock, huh? "He thought it was coming soon. When he was looking for a route on the map, the navigation marked him with three hours and thirty minutes, and now it was six o'clock, and he had been driving for three hours.
"It's about eight o'clock, why don't you listen to the song with headphones, boss?" Chen Xing looked at the road ahead.
If it weren't for the fact that this provincial road didn't stop all the way, Chen Xing really thought that the driver was going around the corner.
"No need." Chen Xing said that in fact, his Bluetooth headset had long been out of power, and he had been doing something for the past two days, and he forgot it at every turn.
I don't know what place it is now, the scenery outside has become very beautiful, looking out from the window on Chen Xing's side, there is a snow-capped mountain on the horizon in the distance, and then from the snow-capped mountain is an endless white.
Thick white snow, and I don't know how deep it is. The snow stretches to the side of the road, and there is a small river on the side of the road, and there is already ice on the side of this small river, only the middle part is still flowing.
It all looks cold. Chen Xing looked at the scenery outside and asked, "When will the winter in Western Xinjiang end?" Sha Ge said: "It's over, it's spring, but the snow in Kanas will melt for a while, and you can go to other parts of our western Xinjiang, and you don't need to wear too thick clothes during the day." "The sunshine in the western Xinjiang is not lost to Tibet, which can be seen from Sha Ge's face.
Sha Ge's face is very dark, to be exact, he can't use it
"Black" is described, but tanned red, which is that special
"Frontier Red". This face also roughly represents the environment in which he grew up and lived. It's getting dark, and the road is getting harder.
The snow turned into water, and the water flowed down the road and formed a thin layer of ice. Anyone who drives in the north knows that this kind of road is the most difficult to walk, because sometimes the tires of the car can't grip the ground, and the car is easy to slip without friction.
So Brother Sha lowered the speed of the car and explained to Chen Xing: "Now everyone is driving very slowly, and they can't drive fast." ”
"It's okay, let's drive slowly." Chen Xing said that he understood, after all, safety is important. All the cars were driving very slowly, and gradually there was a long queue here, and one car followed one car after another.
But at this time, the car in front suddenly stopped, and Chen Xing also heard a scream in the distance. Sha Ge hurriedly stepped on the brakes, but even though the tires stopped spinning, the car still slid forward a little and hit the Accord in front of him...... Chen Xing had good hearing, and when he heard the voice in front of him, he said: "There must be an accident in front, and I may not be able to go, I'll get out of the car and take a look." Sha Ge looked ahead, only to know that the car had stopped, and he couldn't see what was happening in front, so he nodded and said, "Let's go together, I'll take a look too." Then he immediately shook his head and said, "Go yourself, I'm rear-ended." Chen Xing got out of the car, and at this time, the owner of the car in front of him also got out of the car, looking very kind, he didn't care about Chen Xing's rear-end collision first, and immediately looked ahead after getting out of the car.
When I got out of the car, my vision suddenly widened. From Chen Xing's position, he could see that a car in front of him had turned upside down and turned into a small ditch on the side of the road, and many car owners had already gotten out of the car on the side of the road and surrounded them.
Chen Xing also hurriedly walked over. The car that climbed into the river was about five cars away from them, and the screams Chen Xing heard came from the one behind the car, driving a girl of twenty-five or sixteen, who was now frightened and stood motionless by the river.
The other big brothers were still asking the cars around them when Chen Xing came over: "Who has a rope?" Who has a rope? ”
"Tow rope! There should be all in the car! ”
"Save people first, save people first!" Everyone was talking about it, looking urgent, and everyone was flustered.
Chen Xing came to the side of the highway and looked at it for a while, and said in his heart that this is too unlucky, this car is still a BMW.
But soon he heard the sound of a car in the water banging on a window. There's still someone inside! A chill instantly spread from the soles of Chen Xing's feet to the back of his head, and it was estimated that the cold hairs on his whole body stood up.
Chen Xing finally knew why those big brothers were acting very anxious and panicked, and he was panicking now, shouting: "There are still people inside, there are people in the car!! ”
"Who doesn't know? Kid, get out of the way! "A 40-year-old brother found a leash from a car, someone was holding the other end and hanging it on the back of a SUC car, the big brother took out his phone and wallet and threw them on the ground, and jumped into the icy river himself.
The river was about a meter deep, and it only reached the waist of the eldest brother. The eldest brother quickly climbed up and shouted to the people on the road: "Hang up, pull quickly!" So the SUV started to strain, and the tow rope was quickly straightened.
The car in the river moved slightly, as if it was moving upward, but at the moment when the car in the river moved, the tow rope broke directly through the middle, almost hurting the people on the side of the road.
Someone shouted: "The car can't be pulled up so upside down, you have to find a tow truck!" ”
"Where can I find a trailer at this time?"
"People are going to be gone!" Chen Xing heard the sound of knocking on the window again. Very subtle sound. He looked around and saw that everyone was trying to figure out what to do, as if no one heard the voice.
Sha Ge also ran over at this time and said, "That car owner doesn't want us to compensate, I'll come over to see if there's anything I can do to help, what's wrong here?" ”
"The car overturned, and the person hasn't come out yet?"
"What?" Sha Ge was stunned for a moment, and then immediately jumped into the river. Chen Xing screamed, but didn't react.
Is it such cold water to jump down like this to save people? If you don't get someone up for two or three minutes, you'll be gone.
But this is also the fastest way, of course they can wait slowly on the shore for the trailer, waiting for other rescues, but what about the people in the car?
How long can they hold on to such cold water? The small river that can only drown up to a person's waist, it is estimated that it is difficult to imagine that he can also devour people's lives now.
Sha Ge leaned on the window and looked at it, then raised his fist and smashed it up. Chen Xing was touched by his movements, looked at the side of the road, and found a stone.
I took a deep breath, took off my clothes, put down my camera or phone, and jumped in. Hiss! This water is really cold, the kind that penetrates the bones, like small thorns that make the body hurt, this feeling is far more painful than the cold snap encountered in climbing the snowy mountain.
Chen Xing walked forward, getting closer and closer to the car, and finally heard the sound inside.
"Help, help!" Bang dang! The stone in Chen Xing's hand smashed into the car window!
