When it was almost noon, I sent my location to Xu Aiqin, and I got out of the bazaar in a crowded place. It was impossible not to get out. There were so many people near noon, and two foreigners would cause congestion.

We were waiting on the roadside for Xu Aiqin to arrive. It would take about forty minutes for her to arrive. Before we could get back to the car, a young man came over and invited us to his home. He looked like he wanted to make money.

Because I am worried that this Balang has the idea of ​​cheating money, I do not plan to take everyone to his home.

Most of the rural areas in southern Xinjiang are simple, and you will never ask for money when you invite guests to your home. But a few people who have become smart will give you milk tea and treat you to some food. Once you drink and eat, they will

I have never encountered such a thing before, pretending to be pitiful and asking for money, but I have also never encountered someone who actively invites strangers to his home on the street.

When Xie Yamin saw that I was not taking any action, she thanked Balang directly and shook her head, indicating that she would not visit his home again.

"When Xu Aiqin comes, let's go to Maigaiti instead of taking the expressway. Let's go downstairs, so we can stop by Alimujiang's house to visit. Now we won't run around blindly, as it is easy to be blackmailed." I told Xie Yamin.

He said, he used the word 'false' when he said it, I believe this Balang didn't understand.

This guy might have thought that I was just a driver, but now he realized that Xie Yamin listened to me. He ran over to me happily. Since his Mandarin was a bit weak, he could only speak a few simple words. Finally, he

I was a little anxious, so I called a small fruit seller nearby to act as a translator.

It turned out that this guy had only seen foreigners on TV, so he really wanted these two foreigners to visit his home. This guy was very determined and eager.

"Thank you for telling him that it's okay to go and have a look. Let's go to his house for a visit without eating, because we have other things to do and have to leave right away." I was moved by this persistent young man. No matter what,

He will work hard to achieve his goals.

A very exciting thing happened. We sat on Balangzi’s electric tricycle to go to his house. Xie Yamin sat next to Balangzi. Two foreigners, one strong and one very thin, sat on the edge of the tricycle. I

Then sit on the other side.

This way is a bit dangerous in terms of traffic, but I didn't see any nervousness on anyone's face. The two foreigners had a lot of fun along the way, taking photos and recording short videos, and even asked me to take a photo when they finally got off the bus.

A photo of Balang sitting on a tricycle, pretending to drive the tricycle.

The car parked on a narrow but clean asphalt road. The walnut trees, mulberry trees and Elaeagnus trees on both sides of the road were very lush. Behind the trees were farmers painted yellow or germanium red.

I gave a brief introduction and said that this is a typical rural area in southern Xinjiang. Those houses are not the best. After all, this is the poorest place in China.

Balang's family was busy cutting watermelon for us, making tea, and bringing some dried fruits and naan to us. It was obvious that this family was a middle-class family, very clean inside and outside. We visited his house, and then visited

After walking around the shed and backyard of his house, Balang took the foreigner, himself and his family and took a lot of photos. Then he left his phone number for me and asked me to find a way to send the photos on our phone to him at my convenience.

to him.

Once again, we declined the invitation to stay for lunch, and we returned to the Bazaar in an electric tricycle. Xu Aiqin had already arrived and was preparing to call me by the car. When he saw us coming over in an electric tricycle, he smiled and called me

Said the scene was very funny.

"I just saw a cart pulled by camels and a cart pulled by donkeys. I asked, which car should you take for a dollar per person?" Xu Aiqin thought we were touring by car.

"Take the foreigner to see the countryside and visit his house. We just ate a lot at the bazaar. You can eat something and we will set off." I arranged the rest.

Xu Aiqin didn't go far, and directly ordered a hand-picked rice from a small restaurant nearby. We were too embarrassed to watch while she was eating, so I asked two foreigners if they wanted to try the hand-picked rice.

I am also a person who loves food, so I nodded without being polite at all.

The meal was served the fastest. Although the two of them ate late, they ate faster than Xu Aiqin. After eating, they expressed their opinions, saying that this was an experience that they could brag about for a long time after returning. I told them that basically they wouldn’t.

There are foreigners who can have such an experience.

The two foreigners agreed, saying that they had heard that the place was strictly controlled, at least foreigners were not allowed to walk around or take photos at will. I waved my hand and said that was all fake news.

I couldn’t leave immediately after eating, as I might get motion sickness, so I took two people for a walk along the street and gave them a brief introduction to some conditions in the rural areas of southern Xinjiang. Xu Aiqin and Xie Yamin were talking in a shady place. I thought

Our appearance may become an unforgettable memory for many people here. A tanned young man took two fair-brown-haired foreigners for a walk in the bright sun.

During the walk, I asked some simple questions. The skinny foreigner who looked baby-faced was actually in his thirties. The sturdy foreigner who looked like he was in his thirties or forties was actually only in his twenties. The same person as me at first

The judgment is completely opposite.

I changed cars with Xu Aiqin, and I drove the cheap second-hand BMW III so that Xu Aiqin and Xie Yamin could start chatting on the road. I was used to driving a car with a good visibility and a high driving position, and now sitting in a small car felt a lot like having to get used to it again.

, so instead of adopting the mode of two cars following each other, he told the two of them how to go, and also gave up the plan of going to Alimujiang to have a look, as that would be too late.

When we first drove out, the cars were driving one behind the other due to speed restrictions and other reasons. After running for a while, I lost sight of the Wrangler. In addition to passing the checkpoint, I ran until I reached the edge of the Yarkand River and stopped to look at the amount of water.

It's a small river, so I'm waiting for this car of people.

After about 20 minutes, Muma came over and told everyone about the importance of the Yarkand River to this oasis. Xie Yamin specially took me to take some photos by the river as a souvenir. Only then did I realize that I knew Xie Yamin.

Yamin is only a little over a year old.

"It feels like we have known each other for a long time, Xiao Xu, Xie Yamin and I met by the Yarkant River." I said to the two girls.

We drove all the way to the edge of the desert without stopping at Maigaiti. We found a safe place to park the car, and a few of us walked into the desert despite the still-high sun. There are only 100 kilometers to the east in this direction.

Only when you reach the Hotan River can you see green again. After walking a few hundred meters, you are already in another world, silent and silent, and you feel like another planet.

I told the two foreigners about several explorers from their countries, such as the explorers who are still alive and kicking now, such as the famous explorers more than a hundred years ago. After what I said, I found that some Germans
