wilderness

The proprietress waved her hand, "It's all right."

Gu Beiqiao left the small hotel, and walked alone on the streets in the early morning with his bag on his back. Fortunately, City Y was prosperous enough, and there were still taxis rushing on the road in the middle of the night.

Gu Beiqiao took a taxi to the station, and waited for a long time at the station. In order to catch the bus, many people came here before dawn, carrying big bags and small bags, as if they were going on a trip.

At around six o'clock, the bus slowly drove into the station. Gu Beiqiao swarmed towards the door at the front of the bus with the crowd, and the conductor jumped out of the bus to block the door. Car! If you haven’t bought it, wait first!”

Gu Beiqiao watched in amazement as the people around him took out their tickets one after another, and got on the bus after being inspected by the conductor. After all those who had tickets finally got on the bus, when he took out the money to buy a ticket, the conductor looked at the seats in the car. The crowd was full and shouted out the door: "There are no seats! Everyone go back!"

Someone asked dissatisfiedly: "We have been here since the early morning! Why can they buy tickets and we don't have tickets?"

The conductor explained impatiently: "Nowadays, tickets are bought on the Internet, and people book them more than ten days in advance. There are few cars going to Hongyuan, so go back and book again! Don't wait until the day you take the car to book!"

Gu Beiqiao stretched his head to look inside, and there really wasn't a single seat inside.

"Go on, go on!" The conductor closed the door, and the bus drove away quickly.

Carrying his bag, Gu Beiqiao walked aimlessly in the station, not knowing where to go.At this time, a very young girl came up to him, "Hello, I just saw that the bus you want to take to Hongyuan seems to be full. Would you like to carpool with us?"

Gu Beiqiao looked along her fingers, and there was a white off-road vehicle parked by the roadside of the station, and several young people were waiting beside the vehicle to look this way.

"A few of us also went to play. I feel that self-driving travel is easy and free. A few young people are not so boring together. If you want to go, you can go together. We are only one person away." The girl explained.

Feeling hopeful again, Gu Beiqiao clenched his bag tightly and nodded, "Thank you."

Following the girl to the car, the other three asked softly, "Agreed?"

The girl made an OK gesture, and everyone cheered together: "You can go!"

Several people got into the car, and the young man sitting in the driver's seat said to them while driving: "Everyone will be together in the next few days, let's introduce each of you! I'll come first! Cough cough, my name is Gao Yan, this year 25. It is probably the biggest among us. You can call me Brother Gao. I have been to the grassland twice, why do I want to go again? Because the yak meat on it is so delicious! It is delicious and chewy... "

Everyone frowned and let out a "huh".

Brother Gao chuckled, "You will know after eating, but you may not be used to it."

Everyone took turns to introduce themselves. In this improvised team, two of the five are girls. It is said that these two girls are lovers. The one who called Gu Beiqiao just now is Yanzi, and the other is Linlin. .

When it was Gu Beiqiao's turn, he simply stated his name and age, and then said: "I went to the grassland to find someone, and I will go down when I get there, and I won't go back to City Y."

"Wow, do you have any relatives or friends on the grassland? How cool!" Linlin looked at him.

Gu Beiqiao didn't deny it either, he hugged the bag tightly in his arms and turned his head to look out the window.

Several people were chatting and laughing in the carriage. At first, some people brought the topic to Gu Beiqiao, fearing that he would be embarrassed and wanted him to talk. Later, seeing that he was not a talkative person after asking a question, he gave up the idea.

The car climbed up the valley, the mountain was getting higher, and the tunnels were getting denser and denser. Those who played with mobile phones began to complain about the poor signal. Fortunately, the scenery outside the window was not bad. Turning your head, you could see the turbid river flowing below. .

"Brother Gao, you have been there twice, when will it take you to arrive?"

Brother Gao glanced at the person on the co-pilot, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we set off at 06:30, and we won't be able to reach the first destination until at least five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Wow, it's been so long..." The man was discouraged.

Yanzi and Linlin huddled together to eat snacks, "Didn't you hear what Wang Anshi said? The wonders of the world often lie in danger and distance. I wish that the farther the better, the less talented people would be, and the more interesting it would be."

"Yo, I can't tell that Yanzi is still a lover of literature," Gao joked, "But seeing how happy you are eating, you brought a lot of delicious food, right? Brother, I can remind you, the kind of inflatable Potato chips, puffed food, you have to eat them before reaching the top, otherwise it will explode, it doesn’t matter if the car is blown up, but if the faces of the two beauties are disfigured, it will be terrible!”

"No way?" Linlin picked up the scallops, "We bought a lot of potato chips, enough for several days, how can we eat them all at once?"

Yanzi didn't quite believe it and said: "How is it possible? Don't be alarmist, brother Gao must have said this on purpose because he wanted to eat our food, didn't he just want to eat it? Come, come, everyone has a share," Yanzi gave to several people They all shared a bag of potato chips, "Don't stare at the rest!"

Brother Gao shook his head and smiled, "Okay, let's wait and see."

After driving for another two hours, the surrounding scenery was still high mountains and river valleys. Brother Gao found a resting place and stopped the car. Before getting off the car, he said to them, "If you want to go to the toilet, prepare some change, one yuan per person, one yuan per person." It's like that on the road."

Gu Beiqiao didn't want to go to the toilet, he just wanted to get out of the car and get some air. Looking at the sun hanging obliquely above the valley, he asked Gao Yan who was smoking beside him: "Brother Gao, what time is it?"

Brother Gao looked at his phone, "It's 10:30, we can find a place to eat after a while, Xiao Gu, are you hungry?"

Gu Beiqiao shook his head, thinking that Sister Zhao and the others should have picked up the idiot.

He went downstairs last night not to ask the lady boss for slippers, but to borrow a phone to call Sister Zhao. He lowered his voice, explained the address of the hotel, and asked them to come over overnight to pick up the idiot.

"Okay, okay, thank you, are you..." The phone was snatched by Uncle Chen, and when he wanted to ask something, Gu Beiqiao had already hung up the phone in a hurry.

"I'm sorry." Gu Beiqiao heaved a sigh of relief and clenched the phone tightly. The moment he heard Sister Zhao's hoarse and surprised voice, he knew that he should let them pick up the idiot.

Let's go, let's meet again soon, Gu Beiqiao's throat clenched tightly, that boy with wheat-colored skin, and everything else, will be waiting for him in the wilderness...

"Xiao Gu? Xiao Gu?" Brother Gao pinched off the cigarette butt and looked at the smile on his mouth strangely.

"Ah?" Gu Beiqiao came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

"Why are you laughing? So engrossed..."

Gu Beiqiao pursed his lips, "We'll see them soon."

"Who is it?" Brother Gao thought for a while, "Oh, your friend on the grassland, right?"

Gu Beiqiao nodded, looked at the sky again, turned around and got into the car.

The people who were waiting for the restroom came back, and the off-road vehicle restarted. Brother Gao said, "I'm going to climb the hill again! The altitude is getting higher and higher. If you have a high reaction or motion sickness, please let me know in advance. Don't spit in the car." .”

"Don't worry, we all ate rhodiola a week in advance!" Yanzi waved his hand.

"That's fine. If anyone feels uncomfortable or has a serious reaction, we can't go."

The white clouds were dazzling, the vegetation on the mountain gradually turned into a coniferous forest, and the river became much clearer.The two girls fell asleep cuddling each other, and the boy in the front passenger seat was also dozing off. Only Gu Beiqiao was still silently staring out the window, and the car fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound at the foot, which woke up several people.

"What's going on?" Yanzi asked, putting her arms around Linlin.

Brother Gao continued to drive as if nothing had happened, "Open your snack bag to see if the potato chips have exploded?"

Yanzi reached out to pick up the snacks, and when her hand touched the packaging bag, there was another "pop" sound, "My potato chips!" she called out.

"Haha, let me tell you, you still don't believe me!"

In order to prevent another explosion, Yanzi and Linlin opened the remaining few packages with annoyance, "I can only eat hard." So they distributed some to several people.

"Thank you for the air pressure! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to eat potato chips!" The boy in the co-pilot laughed.

"Hey, hey, we gave you food, shouldn't you thank us?" Linlin gave the man a blank look.

"Alright, then I will thank you both!"

"What is 'even if'!"

Brother Gao interjected: "Looking at how lively you are, you shouldn't be rebellious, so I don't worry. But you still have to be careful when you get off the car. Don't exercise vigorously, and don't jump up to take pictures. I'm not trying to scare you. It's easy to faint."

"I must listen to Brother Gao!" Yan Zi hurriedly echoed, slapping Linlin's arm.

On the way, I stopped to have a meal. Several people ate at a restaurant on the side of the road. None of them were delicate people, and no one paid so much attention. They dealt with it and went on the road again.

When the first mountain with only half a tree appeared, Linlin shouted: "The mountain is bald! The mountain is bald! We are almost there!"

"What's bald! It's not like you haven't grown anything!" Brother Gao shook his head in disgust, "There's still an hour left, don't worry."

Gu Beiqiao's heart also began to beat rapidly, his mouth was dry with nervousness, and his eyes were even reluctant to blink, for fear of missing a certain corner.He connected every corner with scenes that had appeared many times in his dreams to see if there were any similarities.

"By the way, you all brought thick clothes, right? I saw the weather forecast saying that the temperature is very low these days, and it may snow." Gao Ge reminded.

"Bring it with you, the down jacket is in the suitcase!"

Gu Beiqiao was focused on the scenery outside the window. As the altitude got higher and higher, the temperature dropped. Fortunately, the sun was outside, so it was not cold at this time, but the grass along the way had already started to turn yellow. There was also snow.

When I really entered the grassland, the setting sun slanted, and the withered yellow grass and the continuous hills formed one piece, and I couldn't see the end at a glance.There are herdsmen's tents scattered on the grassland, with five-color prayer flags hanging in front of the door, cattle and horses are enclosed in fences behind the houses, and the prayer flags flutter endlessly every time the wind passes by.

Turning a slope, the eyes are even more vast.

Yanzi suggested: "Brother Gao, why don't you park the car on the side of the road and let me take pictures!"

"What? I want to get off the car before I reach the scenic spot."

"The most beautiful scenery is on the road. The scenic spots have been seen by so many people, and the aura has been sucked away. Instead, it is not as good as the wild scenery on the roadside."

"Okay, okay, literature lovers are good at reasoning, so stop for a while, anyway, you will not be surprised by tomorrow, this road is full of such scenery, and you will get tired of seeing it after two days." Brother Gao parked the car On the side of the road, several people happily got out of the car.

Gu Beiqiao's feet softened when they first touched the ground, and he really came.Realizing this, he was at a loss for what to do. He looked at the photos taken by the other people, and the scenery. He stood stiffly on the grass. He subconsciously went to find the sun.

He turned to face the setting sun. It turned out that the sun could be so close and so red.His eyes staring directly at the sun flickered for a moment, and his brain began to feel dizzy, and even turned red when he turned his head to look at other places.

"Qiaoqiao, you're here." A voice lingered in his mind, he shook his ears, looked around, but didn't see anyone else.

"Come here." The voice called him, "Qiaoqiao, come to me."

Gu Beiqiao blinked and looked forward. On the grassland under a red sun, a woman in a red dress was smiling and waving to him.
