I really didn’t expect that the Wasteland Bar had changed hands. Who had the Wasteland Bar been transferred to? Didn’t it mean that Chen Yan and I would have priority in taking over? I regretted that I never left the phone number of the landlady.

I called Xiao Sa and asked her when she would come over, planning to tell her the news I heard.

It didn't take long for Xiao Sa to come back. I asked Wai Liduo to learn from Xiao Sa, and then I talked to Xiao Sa about what Xiaomi said.

"Brother Li, I guessed what you are talking about yesterday, because the boss lady's own things were missing, but I heard that Chen Yan's tone was not a bad thing, so wait a minute, Chen Yan never called." Xiao Sa.

explain.

I didn't expect that Xiao Sa was not in a hurry. This was a bit embarrassing. I didn't have anything to do in the Wasteland Bar. I seemed to be losing my composure because I was so aggressive. After I explained a few words, I hurriedly went home to pack my things.

While waiting for the border clearance, I listened to people chatting around me. Going to Ta County is different from going to other places. You need to bring warm clothes, after all, you are going to a high altitude area.

I first drove my little Wuling for another inspection and maintenance. In a short period of time, my little Wuling Hongguang S had already gone through its second inspection and maintenance. The car repairman told me that there was nothing wrong with the car in Ta County.

He has seen many cars in Ta County that are much worse than this one.

Looking at my expression, he reacted and said: "I'm sorry, master, I'm not saying your car is broken, I'm saying it's fine for running in Ta County, but the drum brakes have poor heat dissipation, so you can't go downhill for a long time.

When applying the brakes, use the gear to hold the car, otherwise the drum brakes may suddenly fail due to high temperature.

Seeing that I was worried, he mobilized me to simply replace the brake pump with a new one. I was even more confused by what he said, so I spent money to replace the brake pump. I repeatedly asked him to show me the oil circuit, circuit and brake system.

I want to be aware of it.

After all this work, it was already dinner time when I got home, and I had time to pack up the things Hua Wen had left in the yard. I loaded the sleeping bag and tent into the car, and I found some other bits and pieces in a cardboard box and packed them into the car, including

I bought the air pump and tire pressure gauge last time, thinking they might be useful.

Although Mayisa said she would prepare things, I still ran to the small store at the intersection to buy some water, watermelon, and some high-calorie snacks. After resting for a while, I felt uneasy, so I went to check all the tools on the car.

Incomplete.

Early in the morning, Mayisha called me and asked me to pick them up at the parking lot outside the ancient city. What was surprising was that I saw Xiaomi, Mayisha and Mire together, and Mayisha was still pushing them.

her bike.

Xiaomi and Mire were both dressed in casual clothes, each carrying a backpack, while Maisha was wearing a riding uniform with a large bag under her feet.

"Xiaomi, what time is your flight? Are you here to see us off or do you want us to take you to the airport first?" I asked.

"Brother, sometimes your observation skills are very good, and sometimes you are like a piece of wood. Do you think I will go back to my hometown with this backpack? I am waiting for you to take me to the airport." Xiaomi said.

When Xiaomi said this, I became even more confused. Since she was not going back to her hometown, why did she need me to take her to the airport?

"Idiot, wait until you get back from Ta County before you take me to the airport." Xiaomi couldn't help but say it first.

They loaded the bicycles into the car first, and then got in the car together. Mayisha sat in the driver's seat, leaving me outside in a daze for no reason.

"Co-pilot, get in quickly, what are you waiting for!" Mayisha shouted.

I sat in the passenger seat and started driving. After a period of practice, Mayisha no longer looked like a novice when driving. But what I wanted to figure out was where Xiaomi was going and why Mayisha was bringing her bicycle.

.

But the girls didn't give me a chance to ask questions. They seemed to have endless things to say. They kept talking and talking, stopping to take photos along the way. When they took photos under the sign of the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway, the girls were considered

It's much quieter.

"Xiaomi, do you want to play with us?" I asked Xiaomi who was about to doze off in the back seat.

"No, we are taking you to play together." Xiaomi said.

Xiaomi finally changed her ticket yesterday and went to apply for a border defense permit after me. Ta County was too tempting for her.

"Let me tell you, half of the reason why I came to Kashgar University to study was because of Taxkorgan. My art teacher once told us vividly about his experience in Taxkorgan. I was so envious. At that time, I felt that Taxkorgan was a paradise for me.

, I found out later that Ta County is the Pamir Plateau." Xiaomi said.

At our unanimous request, she talked about her experience as an art teacher.

When her art teacher was in college, she was a restless young man. Every holiday he would visit famous mountains and rivers to sketch and collect scenery. At that time, transportation in Xinjiang was still very backward. During the summer vacation of the year, this teacher sat there for several days and nights.

The train came from Sichuan to Xinjiang, and it took three days and three nights of bus ride to reach Kashgar.

As soon as he arrived in Kashgar, the teacher was attracted by the unique architecture, colors and people's smiles in Kashgar. He originally planned to stay for two days and then leave. Unexpectedly, he was still wandering in the streets and alleys of Kashgar a week later.

One of the things he was most worried about happened. The teacher in Kashgar had no money, so he sent a telegram to his family and asked them to remit money to him. While waiting, he caught a truck going to Tashkorgan.

The road conditions were so bad that the truck also broke down all the way, so after a day and night of stopping and going, we reached the Pamir Plateau. The truck finally couldn't withstand the bad road conditions and broke down completely.

The teacher was actually very happy. He did not realize that this might be a huge danger in the Pamir wilderness. Instead, he calmly started sketching. From a distance, he saw a horse-riding herdsman approaching with his horse and whip.

Since the teacher didn't understand Tajik, he didn't know what they talked about.

After the horseman left, the driver even said that his friend was looking for someone to rescue them. After a while, dozens of horses came on the grassland and planned to tow the truck away. After thinking of many ways, they finally used horse-drawn horses.

The car was pulled to a village one kilometer away by pushing.

Then came the peak of the teacher's life. The driver rode his horse to find spare parts for repairing the car. The teacher was warmly entertained with delicious food and drinks. Pamir Tajik.

"I still remember what our teacher said, so I think I have a connection with Taxkorgan. Our teacher said that the house they lived in was called Langeli, and it came in many shapes. It was basically a thick adobe house with a small square skylight.

, the roof is covered with wood and reeds and covered with thick mud. They will celebrate a festival called Xiaogong Bahar Festival, which is similar to our Spring Festival." Xiaomi said.

"Is it the Water Diversion Festival? Last time Hua Wen and I were in Maigaiti, we heard that Tajikistan will celebrate the Water Diversion Festival in the spring." I asked.

"Maybe, I have to ask about this. Don't interrupt me. My teacher said he only had two cigarettes with him, but he didn't want them. He said he wanted to smoke the national cigarettes. At that time, there was a kind of red snow lotus in Xinjiang.

They said it was the country's cigarette. My teacher was so moved that he repeatedly said that when he got rich, he would send money to them for food and accommodation, but the fellow villagers refused." Xiaomi said.

I guess because of the language barrier, Xiaomi’s teachers were unable to communicate with fellow villagers at that time.

"Later, my teacher wandered around Tashkurgan County for a week without any money. When he was hungry, he was invited to eat by fellow villagers he didn't know. When he was sleepy, the enthusiastic Tajiks arranged for him to stay. Therefore, my teacher was full of enthusiasm for Taxkorgan.

Gratitude and love, he painted a series of paintings after returning to reflect the scenery and people of the Pamirs. What I remember most clearly is that he had a portrait of a Tajik girl. The girl's eyes were particularly pure and bright, so this was also his influence.

One of the reasons why I went to Kashgar to go to university." Xiaomi said.

The car kept moving along the Gezi River, and the scenery became more beautiful. This kind of scenery was not the kind of beautiful mountains and clear waters, but the majestic and desolate beauty of Kunlun. After passing the Oytak fork in the road, the car was in the mountains.

As we started to move forward, the road was a bit narrow but in good condition.

When they reached the Second Creek Bridge, Mayisha stopped the car and the girls started taking pictures. Xiaomi took out a sketchbook and quickly described the scenery, but Mayisha unloaded the bicycle.

"You brought the bicycle for riding?" It suddenly dawned on me. I began to think that Mayisha was planning to take the bicycle to Ta County for riding.

"I have been thinking about this section of the road for a long time. Because it goes up and down the mountain, I don't have the courage to ride the whole way. So I asked Brother Li to drive and I rode. But you don't have to take care of me. Every time I get to a place where I can park, I will wait.

That’s it.” Mayisha said.

I looked at the altitude. It was more than 2,000 meters above sea level at the moment, but the road was always uphill. Mayisha set off first and walked for ten minutes before I set off in the car, but we soon surpassed Mayisha.

The little Wuling was already a little struggling. I could feel the roar of the engine louder than on flat ground, and the speed was high but the car couldn't pick up the speed. Mayisa's riding speed was not slow. We waited for her at the Klerk Bridge for a while.

From a distance, I could see the bright blue color of her helmet appearing in the distance.

After catching up, she collected the bicycle and returned to the car.

"Keep your strength and wait until the front before riding again. I'll get used to it now," Mayisha said.

Soon we passed the Gezi checkpoint, and the Gezi River was no longer visible. The Gonggeer Jiubie Peak in the distance was particularly eye-catching. We were really moving forward in the embrace of the mountains. At this time, Xiao Wuling

It was obvious that I started to feel more relaxed, but the car was running faster and faster. I encountered a long downhill road.

Since the speed limit for the whole journey was 60, I started to use the brakes for the first time and didn’t worry about driving safety.

Just when I was sighing for the majestic Gonggeer Jiubie Peak, I saw a white mountain appearing in front of me. In front of the mountain was a blue lake, Baisha Lake.
