Three people and one horse strolled to the county seat and walked out of the mountains for a whole day and night.
More than ten years ago, since Kangding Love Song became popular, countless people across the country have become aware of this place.
The local government keenly seized the opportunity and vigorously developed tourism. Official reports said that due to tourism, the annual income of local residents has exploded from more than 3,000 yuan to more than 10,000 yuan.
After riding horseback to the entrance of the old station, I took the old lady off my back and bumped her up.
"Brother Xiang, I have wanted to ask you on the way. This bag of yours is too heavy. What does it contain?" Snake Girl asked.
"It's nothing, just some of our daily necessities. It's hard for me to carry your mother on my back, so please do the hard work."
There are accommodations behind Dongguan Old Station. I wanted to rest here for a few hours, and the most important thing was to take a shower, because in addition to the smell of sweat, there was also an indescribable "strange smell" on my clothes.
"Accommodation? How many people?"
I said two people.
"Two people? Are you alone?" The front desk pointed at the old lady I was carrying.
"Hey, you see I forgot."
I smiled and said, "This is my mother. She just came back from the hospital. She suffered a stroke and can't move. If you can be accommodating, I won't have to refund the deposit."
"Oh... Okay, no need to register, room 216." The front desk gave me the key.
After settling mother and daughter, I hid my bag under the bed, then hurried downstairs and asked, "Why can't we take a shower in the house? There's no water!"
The front desk replied: "The bathing facilities haven't been repaired yet, so you can't wash it now. If you really want to wash it, just take a taxi and go to Princess Bridge to wash it."
I complained softly and immediately went out to take a taxi.
After a while, I caught a "Tuoer."
The locals call it Tuoer, which means Alto black taxi.
There are not many regular taxis here, most of them are Xiali sedans. When I got in the car, I went straight to the topic and said: "Master, let's go to the Princess Tomb Bathhouse."
My accent sounded like a foreigner, which was more deceiving than the driver.
At that time, it was clear that I could just walk through Dongguan Elementary School, but it took a long way around, and I didn't know anything about it.
Tuoer walked slowly, so I rolled down the window and quietly looked at this love song county town.
Many years have passed, and some memories are vague.
In my impression, on both sides of the county town at that time, there were no willow trees that are popular today. They were all big sycamore trees, and the fire brigade tree was the largest.
On both sides of the river, there are all barbecue stalls and sheds.
The driver told me that there are more people eating barbecue here at night, which is called a lively place.
Passing through Dongguan Elementary School, I only remember a "green olive" with the brand name of Shasha Dance Hall on the green olive.
There were several beautiful girls at the door, wearing black silk plaid skirts, halter tops and small sandals, with their hair pulled into a straight style. They were as beautiful and fashionable as the little girls nowadays.
At that time, few people dared to dress like this on the streets of Beijing. You can only imagine how open it was here.
The black stockings were just like the black stockings today. The pattern covered the top of the thighs and it felt like the skirts would float up when the wind blew. These girls were dancing at the Green Olive at that time.
I also have an impression of that bathhouse.
Looking from the Princess Bridge, in broad daylight, white gas was constantly rising from the roof of the bathhouse, and those who didn't know it thought it was on fire.
The private dining room cost ten yuan. I took a shower and came out feeling refreshed. The fatigue of two days was gone.
After getting on Alto, I asked: "Brother, I see you have a map, can you sell it to me?"
"What do you mean? If you want it, take it. I got it for free."
"Go back to the hotel?"
I nodded and asked again: "Do you know where I can buy second-hand cars that cost tens of thousands of yuan and are not expensive?"
"Hey! You asked the right person, my cousin is the largest second-hand car dealer in Kangding!"
"How about the 1999 Xiali sedan? It only costs more than 6,000 yuan, and it is durable and durable."
"Go and have a look. If it works, I'll buy it."
His cousin who sells used cars lives in a movie theater.
To tell you something, the locals may still remember that there was a very popular stall selling buttered melon seeds in front of the cinema at that time. A bag of fried melon seeds cost 50 cents. The old lady selling melon seeds was the mother of the person selling the second-hand car.
.
We communicated on the phone on the way, and when we arrived, they took me directly to see the car.
The so-called largest second-hand car dealer in Kangding, the real situation is that it only has three Xiali, two Alto, and one Shenlong Fukang in stock, a total of 6 cars.
"Why can't it start?" I asked after trying the car.
"It's a small problem, maybe it's been left there for a long time. Brother, just wait, I'll solve it for you right away!"
I saw the car seller opening the front hood of the car, pulling off an oil pipe from the carburetor, blowing on it with his mouth, pressing the carburetor a few times, and then connecting the oil pipe.
"You're trying!"
I turned the key and it clicked.
Through the rearview mirror, you can see all black smoke.
"Is the quality of your car good? I drive long distances, at least more than a thousand kilometers one way."
"Don't worry, brother, don't see through my car. It's absolutely solid and durable to drive. Sometimes it will run away even if you don't give it gas! Let alone a thousand kilometers, I guarantee you that it won't break down after ten thousand kilometers!"
I drove around the movie theater and thought it was okay, so I paid the money when I came back. The car dealer was afraid that I would regret it, so the procedure was completed within an hour.
Not many young people had cars at that time. Even though my car was shabby, I still turned heads when I walked on the street. On my way back, I passed by the Green Olive Ballroom, and there was a girl in black stockings who winked at me.
On the way, I considered buying a coffin or a large freezer to freeze the old lady.
But if I think about it carefully, I might get checked on the highway if I do this. Once my bag of things is checked, it will be over. It is not safe to take the train. It is safest to drive back to Nanping by myself.
I went back and slept for two hours. At around one o'clock at noon, when there were few people on the street, I carried the old lady downstairs and gently laid her down on the back seat.
I lifted up the covering clothes and took a look, and sure enough, the old lady's nose had already started to bleed with bits of orange juice.
I had the horse fostered at the hotel, and we agreed to pick it up when I came back. I gave the person at the front desk 300 yuan for the care of the horse.
Get in the car and close the door.
The snake girl asked: "Brother Xiang, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the map. I don't know the road. Let's see which way is suitable."
"Okay, we're almost done, let's go." I collected the map.
"Brother Xiang, you can drive slower, the road is very long."
"I know, don't worry when I drive."
At that time, many expressways had not been built, so the main route was 318, which is the Shanghai-Nie line. It went all the way east and reached Fujian, not far from Nanping. It was expected to take about one and a half days.
I just turned onto the Yajiang Line, and before I got on the 318, the bus couldn’t go! It was broken!
My face turned dark, so I called the car dealer directly and scolded him.
"Hey, brother, you are out of luck. Where did your car break down?"
“Here is the Yajiang Line intersection!”
"Didn't you say it's guaranteed to be 10,000 kilometers without failure? I've just walked 10,000 fucking meters and it can't be driven!"
"Brother, don't panic! I'll go find you now and help you solve the problem. Just wait!"
It's been two full hours and the car dealer still hasn't shown up!
When I tried to call, I couldn't get through, and it said the phone was turned off.
I got out of the car, closed the door, and took a deep breath.
"Dip! Dip!"
"Move your car, it's blocking the intersection!"
I turned around and saw an open pickup truck honking at me, and the driver stuck his head out and shouted at me.
"What are you shouting? Can I move? I didn't realize the car was broken down!"
At this time, the passenger door opened and a girl carrying a bag got out.
"It's you!"
I was stunned and recognized her.
It's Miniang Razhen, the one who used to take the bus with the cows.
