I heard an old Uighur say before that people who like to ride long distances often pass by on the Qijiang Highway. Chen Mu has been working at a gas station for three months and has never seen them before. Today is an eye-opener.

After the five people got off the bus, they immediately got busy.

People rehydrated, people bought things, and some people even squatted down to dismantle the bike on the spot, probably to adjust the bike and replace parts.

Chen Mu was busy greeting these customers. Although the business was not big, it was rare for a gas station to be so popular at night.

Chen Mu found that among these cyclists, one of them was particularly interesting. He had a bird wrapped in clothes in his arms. Because it was wrapped tightly, he couldn't tell what kind of bird it was.

When the man noticed that Mr. Chen was looking at the bird in his arms, he smiled and said, "This is a wild duck. It's injured."

"Wild duck?"

Chen Mu thought it was the other person's pet, and he couldn't bear to take it with him when he went riding, but he didn't expect it to be a wild duck.

The man was a middle-aged man, short and stocky, and he was very lively in conversation. He continued: "It's interesting to talk about it. Two days ago, our motorcade passed through a green belt and was going downhill. It was going very fast. I didn't expect this...

The silly wild duck suddenly flew out of the green belt and hit me with its head, knocking me down."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he took the wild duck out of his arms, then took out a half-cut mineral water bottle from his pocket, filled it with some water, and fed the wild duck to drink.

The wild duck is quite big, with a yellow-green beak, orange-yellow feet, bright green head and neck, an obvious white collar on its neck, dark brown upper body, black waist and tail feathers, and a white patch on its belly.

, particularly eye-catching.

Chen Mu thinks the most beautiful thing about it is the purple-blue wing mirrors on its wings, which look very dazzling.

The middle-aged man continued: "It flew out very suddenly and hit me very hard. I fell off the car and rolled over several times. Hey, luckily I was lucky. The car was okay.

It's okay... Well, after examination, I only had a little skin breakage and no injuries on the bones. Otherwise, I would have had to go home because of this little thing.

Smiling heartily, the middle-aged man pointed at the wild duck that was drinking from the mineral water bottle, and said: "It is much worse than me. Its wings must have been broken. I don't know if there are other places."

It's injured and I can't fly anyway, so I've been carrying it with me for the past few days to see if it can survive."

This is the first time Chen Mu has heard of such a thing. There is such a stupid bird. It flew out and hit a cyclist, and even broke its own wings. If it had been someone else, it might have been stewed and eaten by now.

.

They go out for cycling and come into contact with many people. They generally have a very wild temperament and are very good at communicating.

After the middle-aged man chatted with Chen Mu for a while, he generously handed the wild duck to Chen Mu because Chen Mu handed him a bottle of cold beer.

"We have a very tight schedule for this trip. First we have to enter Xinjiang, and then we have to enter Tibet from Xinjiang..."

"Little brother, I can't take care of this wild duck. How about I leave it to you?"

"I usually give it some anti-inflammatory drugs and see if it can get through it on its own. Well, whether it can get through it or not is fate, and we can't control it."

…

Chen Mu was holding the wild duck that was sleeping in the nest of clothes after drinking water. What he thought at that time was: "I heard that this thing is a national protected animal. I didn't know it was like this now... Get it."

Is it illegal to eat?”

The people in the cycling team drank a box of cold beer, and Chen Mu gave them a discount price of 20 per bottle.

Although the price is much more expensive than outside, they understand the price in this remote place with no shops, so they pay generously and drink happily.

The middle-aged man is a talkative person and talks a lot, all the time.

Chen Mu obviously didn't say anything, but the middle-aged man felt that he and Chen Mu were quite compatible. Probably because Chen Mu was a good listener and didn't bother him, so he finally hugged Chen Mu and called him brother, and even exchanged words with each other.

Change contact information.

In the desert, the interactions between people are sometimes so simple and direct, without caring about other messy things.

That night, all the people in the cycling team slept on the floor of the business room. They brought tents and sleeping bags with them. It was a blessing to have a roof to cover their heads and not have to sleep in the open air. They were not picky at all.

Before dawn the next day, they set off again, leaving only the wild duck in Chen Mu's arms.

When the people in the cyclist convoy walked away, Chen Mu patted the wild duck on the head: "Come, there is a poultry shed next to our garage. It has been unused, and it is just for you to live in. Let me make it clear in advance that when it is time to feed, it is time to feed.

Medicine after medicine, I won't leave you alone. Whether you can survive it all depends on you... Well, when you can fly, you can leave on your own. If you can't survive it... Tsk, don't blame me for being cruel."

After saying that, the kindhearted man Chen Mu put the duck into the shed, put two bowls in it, one for water and one for food, then turned and left.

The duck looked at Chen Mu's back, shrank his head, and hid in the corner covered with hay, motionless.

Chen Mu went back to his room to catch up on his sleep. After getting up, he changed his clothes and prepared to go to Bahe Town to buy some fish fry. Unexpectedly, Alecun suddenly rushed in from outside: "Brother Xiao Mu, Sister Chen is here."

"Huh? Who?"

Chen Mu couldn't recall it for a while.

Yalikun quickly added: "It's Sister Chen, um, the one who stayed at your place a few days ago."

Chen Xiwen?

Chen Mu reacted.

What is she here for?

Boss Chen has an extremely smart business thinking. He immediately thought of beer and quickly said to Alecun: "Go, carry a box of beer and throw it into the freezer in the cellar."

The guys from the cycling convoy drank all his carton of cold beer last night, and he had no more left in his hand.

The Uyghur boy didn't understand why the boss suddenly said this, so he responded and left in confusion.

Chen Mu walked towards the business room and saw Chen Xiwen as expected. What surprised him was that the other person did not look like a smoky person. Instead, he was wearing light makeup and a white coat. He even had a stethoscope and a name tag.

on the chest.

This is very intellectual and beautiful.

"How did you come?"

Chen Mu looked at Chen Xiwen and found that the woman's face was not very good today, her eyes were a little red, and she looked like she had just cried, so he asked tentatively: "You...what happened to you?"

Boss Chen strongly feels that if it had not been during the day, his beer sales would have greatly increased.

When Chen Xiwen saw Chen Mu, he seemed to relax for a moment. He took off his white coat and, still sitting on the chair, said, "I ran away from home."

"Well?"

Boss Chen was shocked.

He still hadn't finished receiving the amount of information in Chen Xiwen's words, and Chen Xiwen said again: "I want to stay at your place for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Boss Chen opened his mouth to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, they suddenly changed into: "Five hundred a day."

Then
Chapter completed!
