It snowed all night last night, just like the heavens sprinkled pear blossoms extravagantly, covering the ground with a silver-white cloak in an instant.As soon as they woke up in the room and opened the curtains to look out the window, they saw the earth covered in silver, which made them very excited.

"This is the closest place to the clouds!" Lin Anqiao got on his horse and looked around in amazement.The weather is so clear, the field of vision is so open, and the snow scene is so intoxicating.In this beautiful atmosphere, they will ride horses to the Tianshan Mountains and to the fascinating Sailimu Lake.

"The altitude here is less than 1000 meters, and it can't reach the height of the clouds. If you walk to the Tianshan Mountains in a while, you will probably be closer to the clouds." Yang Xi has already sat firmly on a white dwarf horse. Dang, shrugged.It was the first time she rode a horse, and it felt very strange.

"Why didn't you study literature at that time?" Lin Anqiao smiled and rolled his eyes, "It's really a big loss for the liberal arts class."

Yang Xi raised his eyebrows, but didn't speak.Under the strong sunlight and the reflection of the snow, her small face is a little golden, with a white light, which is very lovely.

"Okay, you two stop playing, let's go, the sun will be more piercing in a while." Gerna, riding a tall pure black horse, wearing sunglasses and a sun hat, woke up not far away two people.The saddle on the horse's back was polished brightly, just like the black hair of the horse's whole body, it shone amazingly in the sun.

At this time, Gerna was riding a tall horse in a snowy wilderness, wearing a light and warm rider uniform, combing her long hair into a high ponytail and throwing it behind her.No matter how she dresses, Gerna always has a fairy-like function, just like an elf in the vast snowy sea, so beautiful that it is dazzling.

Yang Xi turned her head and saw Gerna's outfit, she was a little stunned.She always thought that Gerna was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, and even though she was a woman, she couldn't help falling in love with her appearance.This is how much luck she had cultivated in her previous life to become such a woman. She couldn't help being a little envious.But fate is so unfair, and there is no way to force it. Seeing such a beautiful woman can be regarded as some luck.

After all, if one wants to be content, one has to desperately seek it.

"Can you ride a horse?" Lin Anqiao skillfully shook the reins and was about to leave, then quickly reined in the horse and looked at Yang Xi.

Yang Xi looked at the docile white horse under him, and shook his head in embarrassment.

"Sister Yang doesn't know how to ride a horse," Gerna said with some feigned surprise, and she tilted her head gracefully, "You can let the horse go away by pinching its belly with your legs, and you can stop it by pulling the rein."

Yang Xi nodded slightly: "Thank you, I understand."

She pinched the horse's belly lightly.Sure enough, the white pony took steps obediently and paced forward.Lin Anqiao smiled and clapped his hands to show encouragement.Gerna pursed her lips slightly, but her expression couldn't be seen because of the sun hat and sunglasses.

Immediately afterwards, within a minute, Yang Xi figured out the way of equestrianism, how to control the direction, how to accelerate and decelerate all in his heart, just like a buddy who has been training horses for many years.The white pony is also quite spiritual, docile under Yang Xi like a well-trained soldier.

"You are really good. I have learned it for a long time." Lin Anqiao followed Yang Xi while holding the rein, admiring from the bottom of her heart.

Yang Xi smiled slightly and didn't speak, but her reddish cheeks already showed that she accepted the compliment with embarrassment.In fact, she never imagined that she could learn so fast, as if she was born to be a rider.

Yes, everyone has a certain talent, and it's just a matter of actively digging - but who gets the chance to really dig it all?

"Okay, Sister Yang learns really fast, so let's speed up and get to Bole City as soon as possible." Gerna's red lips curled up, and she quickened the pace of the dark horse below her.

Even decades later, Yang Xi can still remember the scenery along the way clearly.It is impossible not to forget the feeling of walking in the wilderness of Xinjiang for the first time, let alone on such a white day.

Because of the gloomyness of the heavy snow last night, the sky now seems clearer and more open than ever.The visually pluckable clouds wander leisurely in the trembling blue sky, like a world that only exists in oil paintings.The dazzling sun is also adding color to the clouds, spreading a golden feast to everything on the earth.

They rode straight forward on horseback, and the sound of the horseshoes stepping on the soft snowdrifts made the rustling sound, which further highlighted the tranquility between heaven and earth.A few small houses are sparsely scattered in the distant snow field, and the smoke rises from the kitchen, and the smoke seems to have the aroma of roasted pancakes.Occasionally, Yang Xi could see fluff-like grasses with yellowish-green fluff on the snow-covered ground, which gave him a sense of agility.

The continuous outline of the Tianshan Mountains in the distance became clearer and clearer, and the mist shrouded it like a fairy mountain.They passed by several small houses, which were very delicate and simple.Around the house sat some old people and children from Xinjiang, those who herded horses, those who drove donkeys to fetch water, and those who sat and basked in the sun.When they saw Yang Xi, they would take the initiative to say hello loudly in Uighur, and let out hearty and friendly laughter.Of course, except that Gerna could understand and respond affectionately in Uighur, Yang Xi and Lin Anqiao could only roughly figure out the meaning of the greeting and return the most sincere smile.

A few children about seven or eight years old saw the faces of Yang Xi and Lin Anqiao when they were playing together, without any surprise or vigilance, they greeted each other very generously in Chinese: "Hello!"

Lin Anqiao and Yang Xi were stunned for a moment after hearing such a cute child's voice in this foreign land, and then hurriedly greeted and responded.But for some reason, the two always have a lingering feeling of wanting to fill their eyes with tears.

Yes, no matter when and where, the motherland is the motherland, and there is always a language that can make them feel the kindness of their hometown.

At some point, a distant singing sounded in the ears of the three of them, singing Uighur songs full of local flavor, which drifted magnificently in the cool wind.Lin Anqiao was still running non-stop, but his mind was already immersed in the singing.She likes to listen to songs and music, even though she is a tone deaf.

"What song is this?" Lin Anqiao couldn't help asking in a murmur, but she didn't know who she was asking.

"An old folk song from Xinjiang," Gerna's eyes under the sunglasses seemed to extend to the end of the song, "it's called "A Lovely Rose".

"It's the first time I heard it, but unfortunately I don't understand it." Lin Anqiao nodded, and slowed down the horse's pace regretfully, wanting to stay in the singing for a while longer.

"Sister Gerna, can you help us translate the meaning of the lyrics?" Yang Xi behind him also reined in the horse and looked at Gerna expectantly.Yang Xi, who also loves music, also likes this song very much.

Seeing that the two of them were not moving forward, Gerna also stopped.She paused, tilting her head seriously to listen to the singing.After a while, she translated these lyrics like a simultaneous interpreter: "Feed your horses, take your dombra, when the moon rises, pluck your strings, and we will sing together under the tree …”

Lin Anqiao and Yang Xi listened carefully, just like listening to a teacher in a classroom.There is an unparalleled sense of tacit understanding when the vast Cangyuan is paired with this equally vast singing voice.

What kind of simple lyrics are these, and what kind of beautiful lyrics, Lin Anqiao feels that his soul is about to fly out of his body.If she can, she is willing to spend all the luck in her life, as the lyrics sing, take a dombra on a horse, pluck the strings when the moon just rises, and sing to the sweetest girl under the shadow of the moonlight. lover.Yang Xi's face vaguely appeared in front of her eyes, and she quickly shook her head in embarrassment.They are all girls, what are they thinking, Lin Anqiao couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

But all of this is such a luxury after all, because in reality there are only endless open and secret fights and the surrounding environment that must be guarded at all times, and I am like a hamster trapped in a big iron cage, funny and embarrassed.

Clouds form memories by themselves, but they are only memories.

Finally, they arrived at Sailimu Lake.Sailimu Lake in the snow is even more amazing.The blue lake water is covered with a thin layer of ice, which is so transparent that it can be broken with a poke.The clear-cut Tianshan Mountains in front of you majesticly surround the lake, like never-tired guards, which makes people feel very at ease.

Part of the ground has not yet been completely covered by blood, revealing a golden-yellow soil, which perfectly complements the white.The freshness of ice and snow is in the air.

"Thank you for inviting us to play, otherwise we would have missed such a fascinating view." Yang Xi quickly got off the horse and looked gratefully at Gerna beside her.

Gerna took off her sunglasses, revealing her big black and blue eyes, looked at Yang Xi calmly, and said softly, "No thanks."

In the next few hours, Lin Anqiao and Yang Xi were like two children running and flying around Sailimu Lake.They hope that what they see today will be imprinted in their hearts forever.The sky, the snow, the mountains are everything at this moment.

Gerna didn't move much, she just sat down where she was.She was not afraid of the cold in the snow, and sat directly on it, with her arms around her knees, silently watching Lin Anqiao and Yang Xi, who were enjoying their positive moment, thoughtfully.Her snow-white neck and cheeks were a little red from the cold.

Her eyelashes are so long, as agile as two butterflies, but her eyes are melancholy and empty.Sensing Gerna's mood, the tall black horse snorted softly.Gerna caressed the big black horse affectionately, sighed, feeling lost.

Her eyes followed Lin Anqiao's strong and tall figure all the time, as if she wanted to penetrate something.
