Chapter 50

Because of the delay in Wolong Beach and Moon Bay, we couldn't reach Kanas before dark, so we had to stay with a tour group not far from Kanas. Of course, we paid a lot of money Money.Before the sun set, we took a yacht across the lake with the tour group and climbed from the front mountain to the Guanyu Pavilion, the highest point of the entire scenic spot.Here you can have a panoramic view of Kanas Lake, and you can also look at the Friendship Peak on the border between China and Mongolia.

The mountains in the distance are deep and light yellow, mixed with the dark green of pine trees in the yellow, like thick big carpets.The water at the foot of the mountain is a huge emerald, showing various luster due to the distance and angle.Riding down from the back mountain, it feels like being in a Russian oil painting. The setting sun has gilded the vast land with a layer of gold. The horse runs fast and slow along the rolling hillside, in the subtropical coniferous forest. walk through.

After leaving Kanas in the early morning of the next day, we passed the famous Devil City, Karamay, and Baili Dayoutun, and finally arrived at the equally famous Sailimu Lake.At that time, it was almost dark, and the Grassland Hotel (the so-called hotel was just an iron house) was closed, so we had to live in Kazakh tents regardless of gender. There was no electricity, and a few people ate in the dim candlelight. Just roast the whole lamb and go to sleep.At night, there was a sudden crackling sound from the top of the tent, and I was terrified. A Kazakh girl who was sleeping next to me tried to comfort me, saying that there was light snow and hail outside, and it was okay.Only then did I feel relieved, and took a peek at Geng Mochi who was sleeping on the other side. He must be tired and slept peacefully.

Get up early and open the curtain, there is already a thin layer of snow on the ground, more and thicker snow has piled up on the mountains near and far, the snow line is moving down, and Sailimu Lake looks very dignified and solemn in the morning light, if there is no Blocked by the snow-capped mountains in the distance, it looks like the sea.This is the area farthest from the ocean in the world, and it is also the largest plateau lake. The lake is completely formed by the melting of mountain snow. I really envy the lucky Kazakhs. The Creator treats them so kindly and gives them such a lake like the sea.According to local legends, the lake was formed by the tears of an infatuated woman, so it is extremely holy and known as divine water.

After having breakfast with Geng Mochi, I walked across the road to the lake and felt that the lake was much closer, not as mysterious as before.The water is very clear, cold to the bone, and the white waves gently slap the bluestones on the shore.The sun was slowly rising, and huge clouds cast cotton-like shadows on the distant mountains.Some Kazakh herders asked us to ride on the top of the snow mountain to enjoy the panoramic view of Sailimu Lake. I was a little tempted, but Geng Mochi said that there was not much time, and we had to go to other places.At this time, I accidentally found a sheep tied outside the tent. After I touched it, it stopped grazing and looked up at me. The eyes immediately moved me, and I suddenly remembered the poem written by Wang Luobin. A line in the folk song "In That Faraway Place": "I would like to be a lamb and follow her."Now I finally understand the meaning of this lyric, only a lover's eyes can be so gentle.Perhaps it is likely to be the dinner of the next batch of tourists, but this is its fate. In fact, we are often not the same as being slaughtered by others. In this regard, human beings are the same as it.

Geng Mochi was obviously also moved by the lamb. After staring at it for a long time, he suddenly ran into the tent and took out his camera. He asked me to take a picture with the lamb, and I readily agreed.After taking photos, we set out on the road. The sun had completely emerged from the clouds at this time, the snow-capped mountains were even more majestic and straight, the lake water also changed from dark blue to bright blue, and there was already a large flock of sheep on the grass by the lake.

"Why do you want me to take a picture with that lamb?" I asked while sitting in the car.

"Because you are like that lamb, just like that song, 'I would like to be a lamb and follow her'." He held the steering wheel and stared ahead, "I'm really I really wish I was that sheep...but I can't control my own destiny, just like that sheep can't control its own fate..."

I am silent.It turns out that this is a tacit understanding!

We bumped all the way, passing Guozigou, Horgos Port, Yining, and Nalati Grassland along the way. Needless to say, the scenery is naturally too much. It may be that I have seen too many scenery along the way. I am not very impressed with these places. The only thing I was touched was a small piece of Populus euphratica forest that I saw when I passed the Nalati Grassland. It was so red that it hurt people's eyes.I have heard of a tree like Populus euphratica before. It is said that it will not grow old for 1000 years, will not fall for 1000 years after death, and will not rot for 1000 years after falling, implying its tenacity in life.Geng Mochi must have also heard the legend of Populus euphratica not being old, he parked his car by the side of the road, walked into the forest, looked around, took me into his arms suddenly when I was not prepared, and kissed me passionately.This is the first time he has kissed me since he came to Xinjiang. It was tender and lingering. My heart beat wildly. I opened my eyes secretly, and it felt like we were in a sea of ​​fire. The sky and the earth were spinning and burning. Hope, if we are really in the sea of ​​fire at this moment, burning together, and turning into ashes together, how wonderful it would be!

"Kao'er, what should I do with you like this..." When he let go of me, he was a little annoyed, looking up at the sky and frowning, "I really don't know what you will do if I die. "

"You are talking nonsense again, isn't it possible to have a heart transplant? You should have confidence in yourself." I always heard him say such words along the way, and I became normal from the initial sadness.

"Kao'er, there are many things you don't understand." He seemed a little upset.

The last place we visited was the Swan Lake in the Uledus Intermountain Basin of the Bayinbulak Grassland. It is also a plateau lake and is said to be a national-level Swan Nature Reserve.But at this time, we couldn't see any swans. Except for the yellow grass and clear lake water, we didn't feel anything special here, so we only stayed for a short time and left.

Then we started the journey back to Urumqi. I was really tired after several days of bumps and bumps. I was eager to go back to the hotel and take a hot bath, and then I would curl up under the quilt and have a good sleep.I looked at Geng Mochi next to me, and he also looked tired. After driving for a few days, he must be more tired than me.But there is a good saying, haste makes waste. Just when we were about to return home, we got lost, and the car drove around in circles. Geng Mochi took out a map and followed the route on the map. , but it was useless, we transferred for two hours and still did not transfer out.

So I had no choice but to call Lao Deng in Urumqi for help, but the bad thing was that the phone didn't work, and I couldn't send a signal at all.This is a miserable situation. If we can’t get out of the village or shop, if we really can’t go out, we will definitely freeze to death here, because the temperature difference between morning and evening in Xinjiang is very large, especially in winter, the highest temperature at night will not exceed minus Ten degrees.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Geng Mochi and I were a little panicked. Sitting in the car, we didn't know where to drive. In front of us was the endless dark yellow grassland. We couldn't even see the snow-capped mountains. We couldn't tell the direction at all.

"What should I do?" Geng Mochi couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"Just drive there." I pointed in a random direction with my hand, "It's up to fate if we don't drive, if we really freeze to death together...that's what I wished for." I glanced at him, pretending Say calmly, "What do you think?"

Geng Mochi was startled, then smiled suddenly, and nodded again and again, "That's right, this is the best possible outcome, let's just go with it." He started the car and drove towards the direction I pointed, it was completely a gamble.

I don’t know what’s going on, but after driving for a while, we found that the temperature has picked up, and the surrounding grasslands have also started to turn green. Later, the green sky is even reaching the horizon. It’s really strange. The grasslands should be yellow in this season. , just like the grassland we saw all the way, how could it turn back to green?Not only did the grass turn green, but we also found that there were flowers everywhere on the grassland, which made the grassland extraordinarily beautiful and splendid. When we opened the car window, the fresh wild flower fragrance entered the heart and spleen with the wind, and we felt refreshed and tired.

"Where is this place? It's not on the map." Geng Mochi was a little confused.

"It doesn't matter where he is, the temperature here is very high, we can survive at night." I said with a smile.
