early morning twilight

After crossing another mountain peak and looking down from a high place, you can already see rows of low houses in Taxian County.

At the time of sunset, the rays of the sun sprinkled generously on the earth, dyeing the majestic snow-capped mountains behind the car into gold.

But because it is facing away from the direction of travel, tourists generally don't notice it.

We set off in the morning, and we have already trekked for a day, and everyone is more or less tired.

The car was quiet, Si Ye looked straight ahead, expressionless, but his cheeks were getting hotter and hotter.

What he said not long ago, he swears, meant nothing.

He was just immersed in the magnificence of the snow-capped mountains and the wilderness, and couldn't help expressing his feelings.

He was so involved that he didn't realize it at the time. After he finished speaking, the corners of Jin Chongshan's lips pursed lightly, and the gray eyes seemed to be blown up by the wind.

It fell silently again.

Unconsciously, he faced the wilderness again until his face was numb from the blowing, and the tourists who had fun shouted "Ono, get in the car".

At this time, the temperature in the car made the numb face feel, and the brain turned again.

Only later did he realize that he had said something extraordinary.

What wilderness, what mountains.

Huanzhong Mountain is the heartbeat of the wilderness and the destination of the wilderness!

day!

No wonder Jin Zhongshan showed such an expression.

Anyone who hears such words will think it is a confession in disguise, right?

But he!real!No!

The padded jacket in his arms suddenly burned his hands, but it was even more suspicious to throw it away suddenly.

He scratched his lungs thinking how to explain to Jin Chongshan.

But the words have already been said, isn't the explanation the same as mentioning it again?

For someone as indifferent as Jin Chongshan, he would only say "huh" when he heard it, right?

Si Ye was inexplicably lost.

Jin Chongshan shouldn't care about his explanation, just like he doesn't care about his "confession".

The Tajiks believe in eagles.

When the eagle flies across the sky, the working people will look up at it with pious eyes.

What would Keying think of people who looked up to him?

Si Ye didn't know.

He had not even seen an eagle that roamed the land.

But at this moment, he is sure that Ying will regard piety in his eyes just like Jin Chongshan.

But that's all.

People's devotion is like snow dust blown by the wind on the mountain road that has just passed.

Flying into the sky, reflected in the eagle's eyes, and then melted into the eagle's eyes.

Once existed, and no longer exists.

"Look backward." Jin Zhongshan's voice interrupted Si Ye's thoughts.

He froze for a moment, "What?"

The passengers in the back row yawned and turned around.

Then Si Ye heard an exclamation——

"Mom!"

Everyone is awake.

Rizhao Jinshan.

Not long ago, the snow-capped mountains burst into golden light.

Their holiness and brilliance are reflected in everyone's pupils, chasing the traveling vehicles.

It was like a solemn and grand blessing.

The sacred mountain is silent and protects the common people.

Si Ye turned around and sat down again.

"Brother Jin, thank you."

"Ah."

For the rest of the journey, no one dozed off.

We are about to enter the county seat, and the road widens slightly, with white tree trunks and golden branches and leaves on both sides.

The bungalows with red roofs are row after row, and herdsmen in traditional Tajik clothing drive their flocks to and fro.

Ai Yi once again acted as a commentator.

"These houses were built with the help of the local government, aren't they beautiful? When the herds are not grazing, the herdsmen live here, and they won't suffer from the cold in winter!"

The female tourist asked, "You live here too?"

Ai Yi shook his head, and quietly glanced at the driver's seat.

"Summer is the peak tourist season, and my sister's homestay is too busy, so I'm here to help."

Si Ye looked at Ai Yi in the rearview mirror, but Ai Yi only had Jin Chongshan in his eyes, and he didn't notice anything else.

"Brother Jin, when the homestay is free, I can still help Gulibayi."

Jin Chongshan said, "No need."

Aiyi bulged her cheeks, but the light in her big eyes dimmed.

But soon, she happily said to the tourists: "When you arrive in Ta County, you must try the yak hot pot. Do you know how to eat yak bone marrow? It's like drinking coconut water, with a pipe inserted..."

After watching Ai Yi's series of changes in expression, Si Ye didn't know who Gu Libai was, but he roughly judged that it was Jin Chongshan's family.

Brother Jin is really ruthless, he refused so simply, leaving no hope for the little girl.

Entering the county seat, the sky has turned into a deep blue like sea water, but the night has not really fallen yet.

The passengers in the car that Jin Chongshan pulled were all individual passengers, who came out alone to carpool.

It was agreed yesterday that we will only go to Ta County, and Jin Chongshan doesn't care where we go or how long we go.

Everyone dispersed by the car, Ai Yi came over to bid farewell to Jin Chongshan, seeing that Si Ye didn't intend to drag the suitcase, he asked curiously: "Aren't you living with them?"

Siye knew Ai Yi's thoughts on Jin Chongshan, and he confessed to Jin Chongshan not long ago, and suddenly felt embarrassed when Ai Yi looked at him like this.

"He's different." Jin Chongshan said lightly, "He's driving with me."

"Oh." Ai Yi's eyes changed slightly, but there was no hostility, but he seemed to see something, "Then I'll go first! See you next time!"

"Ah."

The county seat is not as windy as the snow-capped mountains, but Si Ye is still wearing cotton clothes.

He was sweating a little, and looked around the surrounding buildings, thinking that this was the edge of the county seat.

But Jin Zhongshan said that this is the center.

"..."

No wonder there is a row of yak hot pot restaurants opposite.

Shino faced a problem.

He paid Xiao Yang the money for six days, and Xiao Yang entrusted him to Jin Chongshan, saying that the money would be transferred to Jin Chongshan.

But he doesn't know if it turns or not.

Moreover, Jin Chongshan did not agree to let today's guests continue to carpool, which means that from tomorrow onwards, Jin Chongshan will not be his driver.

So should he look for Xiao Yang, or what?

On the way, he saw it in the "Pamir 0706" group.

Xiao Yang took everyone to the village below Ta County, where they lived in herdsmen's homes.

He couldn't keep up.

Jin Chongshan took the orange suitcase out of the car, passed by Si Ye and said, "Let's go."

Si Ye hurriedly followed, "Brother Jin, Xiao Yang said to transfer the fee to you..."

"Well, turn around."

"Then me?"

Jin Chongshan turned to look at him, "Do you have a plan?"

Si Ye was at a loss.

What could he have planned.

Xiao Yang can speak well, and when soliciting customers, he has planned a six-day itinerary, and the guests don't have to worry about anything.

"Uh...then let me see."

Si Ye found Xiao Yangfa's itinerary in the "Pamir 0706" group, "...The Ancient Panlong Road? The Ancient Tasha Road?"

Jin Chongshan said, "OK."

Si Ye didn't quite understand, "Shall we go to the hotel to pick up people at that time?"

Jin Chongshan raised his eyebrows, "Who are you picking?"

"Don't pick it up? You only pick me up?"

"Ah."

Si Ye was surprised, "But..."

After driving for a whole day, he must have been tired, and Jin Chongshan was a little impatient under the non-stop question.

"There are too many people and noisy."

"Oh." Si Ye didn't want to ask again, but his doubts did not disappear in the slightest.

Will the master in the tourism business only take one person because the guests are too noisy?

Then why are you willing to pull a car of people today?

Under the gradually darkening sky, Jin Zhongshan's back is a little more mysterious and untouchable in Si Ye's eyes.

He pinched the center of his brows, don't care, just follow up and talk.

Jin Zhongshan took Si Ye to a yak hot pot restaurant with a big sign.

As soon as he entered the store, several shop assistants dressed in Tajik ethnicity greeted Jin Chongshan.

Si Ye couldn't understand, but he already guessed that this should be Jin Chongshan's family shop.

...Brother Jin, he is really rich.

Both floors were full, so Jin Chongshan went directly to the back yard.

Two people who looked like elders greeted them.The woman hugged Jin Chongshan affectionately, and looked at Siye kindly.

Si Ye stood obediently, "Hello."

"My guest, I will take him for a few days." Jin Zhongshan turned around, "My mother, Gulibayi."

"Hi, good!" Gulibayi's Chinese is obviously not very good, but the hospitality is written on his face, and he quickly drove the two to a small room and brought a menu.

Si Ye looked at Jin Zhongshan.

Jin Chongshan said: "There is no place in the store, we usually eat here. You order."

Si Ye still pushed the menu over, "Brother Jin, please recommend it."

Jin Chongshan made a few random strokes, and was about to get up to go to the kitchen when Si Ye suddenly said, "I want to taste the bone marrow like coconut water."

Jin Chongshan paused, took a pen and added.

Jin Chongshan didn't come back after that, he should be helping in the kitchen, Si Ye couldn't disturb him, so he had to swipe his phone.

After a while, Jin Zhongshan came over with a big pot.

He had already taken off his motorcycle jacket, the upper arm of Black T was supported by muscles, and the blue veins on his forearm also floated.

The pot is heavy.He is very informative.

Behind Jin Zhongshan was a Tajik uncle with many wrinkles on his face, but he smiled as sincerely and friendly as Gulibayi.

The uncle held two large plates of meat and said a long word to Si Ye.

Si Ye looked at Jin Chongshan for help.

"My father, Kurban. He said you are welcome to Ta County."

……Father?

Si Ye couldn't help being surprised.

If Jin Chongshan's parents were both Tajik, where did they come from the Han nationality?

But facing Kurban's enthusiastic smile, Si Ye immediately retracted his surprise, got up and bowed.

The yak meat in the pot has been stewed in advance and is ready to eat.

Jin Chongshan brought two bowls of dipping sauce and handed Si Ye a bowl.

Each piece of meat is half the size of an adult's palm, and the ones with bones are even more impressive.

With the first sip, Si Ye understood why yak hot pot must be mentioned in the guide.

Tender, fragrant, and chewy, it is indeed a must in Ta County.

Jin Chongshan left for a while on the way, and when he came back, he was carrying a large plate of ribbed bones.

Si Ye was dumbfounded, "How do you eat this?"

"Isn't that what you wanted?" Jin Chongshan's tone was actually teasing.

Very light and not unpleasant.

As he occasionally reveals, raw and wild frivolity.

It turns out that this is the "coconut" that Ai Yi said.

Si Ye reached out to grab it, but was so burned that he withdrew his hand.

Jin Chongshan smiled again, he didn't mean to help, he just ate the meat by himself.

Si Ye waited until it was not so hot, and went to get it again.

This time it wasn't hot.

But when the straw was inserted, it made a crackling sound, but the bone marrow was not sucked out.

What the hell coconut? !

There are many tendons in the bones, plump and attractive.

He simply changed the way of eating, picked it up and gnawed.

But the tendons were firmly stuck to the bones, and he gnawed extremely hard, his face and hands were all covered with oil, but he didn't gnaw much.

But it doesn't matter, do as the Romans do, the frontier people are wild and unrestrained.

He's here all the time, it's nothing to chew on a bone.

Only then did Jin Chongshan pick up another bone.

Si Ye watched helplessly as he gracefully picked off the tendons with a knife and neatly stacked them on a plate.

How good is it?

There was no trace of flesh on the bone.

Si Ye: "..."

It turned out that he was the only one who was wild and unrestrained.

Then, Jin Chongshan picked up an unused chopstick and stuck it into the bone to fiddle with it.

After half a minute, insert a straw.

The bones are now placed in front of Si Ye.

"..."

Jin Chongshan said lightly, "You should eat like this."

Si Ye took a deep breath and couldn't help whining.

Thick bone marrow poured into the mouth, the temperature was just right, without seasoning, but without a trace of fishy smell.

It's really like drinking coconut water!

Si Ye finished his drink quickly, looked up at Jin Chongshan, his eyes were shining.

God knows that he has absolutely no intention of letting others serve him, but his expression is too much like a cat begging for food.

Jin Chongshan handed him the chopsticks ruthlessly, "Make it yourself."
