Hearing that Chen Xing was going to Xijiang to attend a wedding, this person couldn't help but feel happy.
In the past, Chen Xing was a relatively good tourist in his mind, but now he is invited to the wedding by his compatriots, so he must be a friend of the people from Xijiang.
"When you go to a wedding, you must give a red envelope. The kind sold in supermarkets will be fine. Do you think there are any places where people don't give red envelopes when they get married?"
"Same."
The last time Chen Xing attended an ethnic minority wedding was half a year ago, and it was a Miao wedding.
I was also given a red envelope.
Due to previous delays, it was already dark when we boarded the plane.
The lights in the cabin were as bright as during the day. Two young stewardesses standing straight at the cabin door greeted everyone who boarded the plane with sweet smiles. This smile greatly calmed the passengers' anxiety.
.
Many people are thinking about the missing plane, and even more people are actually worried about the delay of the plane.
It takes nearly four hours to fly from Chengdu to Xinjiang Altai. Originally, we set off at around 5 o'clock, so we could arrive in Altai before 10 o'clock. But since it was delayed by more than an hour, it would be basically early morning to arrive in Altai.<
/p>
If someone picks you up, don’t you have to let others go out in the middle of the night?
Or keep waiting at the airport?
Nothing is good.
After getting on the plane, Chen Xing and the man from Xijiang were not seated together and were separated.
This time, the person sitting next to Chen Xing was a young girl, but this time Chen Xing had no interest in chatting. He yawned and took out the eye mask that the flight attendant had given him before.
Close your eyes and start to rest.
The entire cabin was very quiet. When the plane finished climbing, the stewardess walked over from the front and turned off the cabin headlights as she walked.
Chen Xing didn’t know when he really fell asleep.
When I woke up again, I didn’t know what time it was. The girl next to me was crumpling a ball of paper, with a finished midnight snack in front of her.
Seeing that Chen Xing had woken up, she laughed a little embarrassedly: "I saw that you were sleeping so soundly just now, so I didn't let the flight attendant disturb you. Are you hungry? I still have chocolate here..."
"Thank you, no need."
He just had dinner before getting on the plane and slept all the time. He is not hungry at all now.
I checked the time and it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
"We're almost there." The girl next to me said while eating, "Are you traveling to Altai?"
"Yeah, what about you?"
Chen Xing opened the cover covering the porthole and replied.
It was also dark outside the window, and Chen Xing couldn't see anything with his eyesight. He only occasionally felt a trace of light flashing on the ground, which was so weak that Chen Xing couldn't tell whether it was the light on the ground or his own eyesight. "I am a teacher in Altai and have been here for half a year."
Chen Xing turned his head and looked at her. He felt that she didn't look like someone from Xijiang, so he said, "Are you a support teacher?"
"Yeah."
She handed over the chocolates from the airplane snacks gift pack again. This time Chen Xing did not refuse. He smiled and nodded his thanks, then tore open the package and ate.
"Actually, I really admire teachers like you who support teaching." Chen Xing said.
"Really, haha, it's not a big deal, and it can't be said to be very remote."
Chen Xing is very curious about her life and admires her courage.
However, the plane began to land before the two of them chatted for long. After a while, a voice came from the radio: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived in Altai. The current time is 11:45, and the temperature outside is now
Minus 5 degrees Celsius..."
After getting off the plane, Chen Xing looked around in surprise.
So empty...
It can also be said to be quite desolate.
It's hard to see clearly in the distance. It might be a mountain or a wilderness. Only the nearby places are easier to distinguish because of the light from the plane. Except for the runway of the plane, the surrounding area is completely covered with flat dry grassland. This kind of grassland was often seen when Chen Xing was in Tibet. The cold weather froze the grass to death, and then the grassland gradually dehydrated in the cold wind, resulting in this somewhat desolate appearance.
There are lights in the distance.
The airport building is easy to recognize, but other than that, there is nothing else here.
It was a little cold, so Chen Xing shrank his neck and put on the hood of his down jacket.
"Huh..."
It feels much more comfortable now, and my neck and head will not be blown by the wind.
There was no pick-up vehicle, so everyone walked towards the airport.
The airport terminal is still very large, and the lights are on, as if it is the only civilization here.
In fact, in normal times, the airport has long been closed, but today because the flight took off late and was delayed for nearly two hours, the staff here had no choice but to postpone their get off work time.
But no one has dissatisfaction on their faces.
When Chen Xing and the others walked to the airport, several local ground staff from Xijiang brought several washbasins full of hot water for Chen Xing and the others to wash their hands and touch the hot water to simply warm their bodies.
The sub-zero temperature may not be a big deal to people living in Western Xinjiang, but for people living in Chengdu, it is a bit serious. It is estimated that Chengdu has not seen a temperature of minus 5 below zero in decades. p>
Chen Xing felt a little cold, but the young lady who came to teach did not feel any discomfort. After taking her luggage, she was the first to board the car that took them to the city, as if she was grabbing a good seat.
At this time, Chen Xing also came over with his luggage.
"This..."
Good guy, just seeing the appearance of this car makes Chen Xing feel a little carsick.
Compared with other airport shuttle buses, this one looks like a veteran who has served at the station. The openable windows glow with a hint of green, proving that this car is definitely a reliable domestic product.<
/p>
Old stuff, diesel!
Even if Chen Xing now has a certain immunity to motion sickness, it is physical and mental motion sickness. It depends on the talent. Chen Xing knows that some people don’t say take a bus, but ride in the sky.
You won’t get dizzy even when driving.
After getting in the car, Chen Xing saw that there was a good seat in the front row near the driver's seat.
This seat is on the right-hand side of the driver, and you can see the road conditions in front of the vehicle.
But just as I was about to go there, I realized that there seemed to be someone under the table and chairs?
Continue to observe.
There is indeed someone, including the support teacher I just met.
She is a bit short, and no one can spot her from behind when she is completely sitting on the chair.
Chen Xing felt a little regretful, so he settled for the next best thing and came to the first row of the bus, which is known as the seat reserved for conductors, and guarded the door in front.
He thought this journey would take a long time.
Because he checked how big the area is in Xijiang. Basically, a small town can be regarded as a county, and a county can be regarded as an urban area. The urban area is even more powerful, and it is directly a province.
You have to look at it this way.
There is only Qinghai between Chengdu and Xijiang, and the flight time is four hours. From the south of China, it only takes three and a half hours to fly from Shanghai to Chengdu.
How many provinces are there between Shanghai and Rongcheng? What about Rongcheng and Xijiang?
Right.
So Chen Xing felt that it would definitely be a long way from the airport to the city.
But that's not the case.
Chen Xing had misunderstood this. It only takes less than twenty minutes by car from the airport to Altai. When Chen Xing got off the bus, he was still very energetic. After taking a few breaths of fresh air, he could not see any trace of fatigue.
.
The people in the same car gradually got off the car, many of them talking on the phone.
Chen Xing waited until the female teacher who was teaching also came down, and took the initiative to ask: "Can I add you as a friend?"
"Ah? A handsome guy like you also wants me to use WeChat? Haha, sure."
In fact, this is the first time in the past two years that Chen Xing has added a girl's WeChat account with full admiration. He has no intention of transcending, and just wants to get to know more outstanding people.
After adding friends, the teacher said directly: "Okay, the person who picked me up is here, I wish you a happy time."
Chen Xing watched her walking towards a Jinbei car parked on the roadside.
Chen Xing hesitated to speak.
I don’t know your name yet!
At this time, Brother Xijiang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, put his hand on Chen Xing's shoulder from behind and said, "You haven't found a place to live today, have you? Let's go and stay at my house. My family lives here. I
My house is pretty big for living alone."
"I don't even dare to live there anymore!"
"Ah? Why?"
Isn’t Geme popular in Western Xinjiang yet?
Chen Xing rolled his eyes without explaining, and said: "I have already booked the hotel. The navigation shows it is right in front. If I have time in the future, I will go to your house to play."
"Okay, this is my phone number."
The two exchanged phone calls, and the old man enthusiastically said that you can contact him if you need anything.
Although Chen Xing didn't feel any malice, he still felt that he should stay away from this old man from Xijiang. The house was big and the welcome to play reminded Chen Xing of someone who was very similar to this old man. Before leaving, the elder brother patted Chen Xing on the shoulder and said, "Have a good time traveling. I will take you skiing when you have time. Skiing is the most famous thing here."
By this time most of the tourists had left.
There are also some brothers who have called but no friends or relatives have come to claim them. Like Chen Xing, they hid in the withdrawal area of a bank on the street... to avoid the wind.
It’s so cold!
Chen Xing didn’t feel so cold even in Tibet!
After rubbing his hands, Chen Xing was ready to leave.
The hotel he booked is indeed very close to here, two hundred meters away in a straight line, and the navigation says it only takes five minutes to walk... So let's go, we can't sleep here all day just because we are afraid of the cold.
I really underestimated the weather in Western Xinjiang. I thought the temperature would rise in March.
There were very few people on the streets of Xijiang in March, fewer people than people going out at night in Tibet.
However, it is strange that there are many cars on the road.
Is it because it’s cold and people don’t want to go out for a walk, so they all drive?
So where are you driving to?
Anyway, if you can't see a few people walking around on the pedestrian path, then the highway is really busy with traffic. Moreover, this city is also different from the cities Chen Xing has seen before.
They don’t seem to like neon?
It was completely dark around the building. Only a few families with lights on were radiating warmth. The traffic on the highway was constantly driven by people, making it as bright as day.
This silence and movement is really interesting.
If it is made into a picture, whether it is a video or a photo, it will be very interesting.
But Chen Xing couldn’t capture this kind of composition with a camera.
Such a work must be shot at a higher place to complete it. The scene of busy traffic on the highway and the surrounding buildings with only a little starlight can be photographed. Only by contrast can the picture be achieved.
But there is nothing he can do.
Chen Xing stopped and found a bench on the side of the road to sit down.
As soon as he sat on the stool, Chen Xing was like a fish scalded by hot oil. He took a breath of cool air and stood up. Then he shook his head uncontrollably and huddled his shoulders.
Damn it! It’s so cold!
It turns out that people not only have strong conditioned reflexes to heat, but also to cold!
Chen Xing used the light of the street lamp to take a closer look at the bench. It looked quite clean, but it was actually covered with a layer of ice.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter whether you sit down or not.
Then Chen Xing took out the new toy he just bought from the suitcase.
A time-travel machine produced by DJI, avata.
When he was in Xi'an some time ago, Chen Xing acquired two skills. One of them is related to physical strengthening, mainly endurance and endurance, and the other is drone piloting.
This technology is also a profession in modern times, called drone pilot. It was listed as one of the 13 new professions by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other departments the year before last.
High salary is the impression many people have on pilots.
High technology is what many people think of drones.
It’s too noisy! This is everyone’s impression of the time-travel machine.
A flying drone is a type of drone. Strictly speaking, due to the lack of autonomous cruising capabilities, people who play it tend to classify it as a model aircraft rather than a drone. Pilots like to buy accessories to assemble by themselves. The maximum speed is
Can reach 230 kilometers per hour.
As for the sound of flying...
Woo!
Chen Xing's traversing machine passed through the guardrails on the highway and the pedestrian street, and then flew diagonally into the sky. The sound of the whirring fan of the traversing machine could be heard within at least 100 meters, not to mention fifty meters.
.
But after a while, Chen Xing flew the drone very high.
In the matching glasses, it is the perspective of the flying machine in the sky.
Looking down from the air, the vehicles look like small matchboxes, and most of the city is in sight.
Human beings have been yearning for the sky for thousands of years. Some people have thought about making a pair of bird wings, while others have thought about sitting in a rocket and letting the rocket take them to the sky.
More than ten years ago, someone even invented wingsuit flying.
But they probably didn’t expect that a few years later, drone pilots would be able to connect to the 5G network and watch the drone’s perspective in the sky without any delay.
Chen Xing recorded a lot of material on it.
When I wanted to fly the drone back, I suddenly felt a chill all over my body and felt inexplicably uneasy.
Take off your glasses.
Several people in police uniforms stood in front of him.
"You! What did you do? Someone reported you for peeping with a drone. Fly your things back quickly, take them with you and come with us!"
