early morning twilight

"Brother Jin, shall I book a hotel by myself tonight, or will you arrange it for me?"

Si Ye checked on the app, Ta County is not as popular as Kashgar, and there are still rooms.

Jin Chongshan got up to clear the dining table, glanced at him, "Look at you."

Si Ye put the phone down, "Then I'll listen to you."

He is not a man without his own mind.

It was because he was too assertive that he attracted a lot of hatred in that circle.

In the past two days, I have been "laying down" with Jin Chongshan. Although there are many mysteries in this man, the best solution is always chosen for him, and he "lays down" very happily.

Jin Chongshan said "hmm" and bent over to take the pot.

Si Ye suddenly felt that he should show it, "Brother Jin, let me do it."

Jin Chongshan looked at him again, with a sense of appreciating him.

"..."

how?Think I can't?

Jin Chongshan said lightly: "You can't."

Si Ye was fine, snatched the pot by the ear, and picked it up, but he didn't pick it up!

Jin Chongshan watched from the side, with no expression on his face, but his brows were stretched, as if he was watching a drama.

This excited Si Ye.

With an effort, he finally lifted the pot.

But I don't know what kind of material it is, it's so heavy.

Now that it's picked up, it's not easy to put it back.Si Ye resigned himself to the door and turned around: "Brother Jin, where are you sending it?"

Jin Chongshan raised his chin towards the lit bungalow on the right.

At this time, Kurban saw it and ran over to pick it up.

Si Ye hurriedly dodged, "No need!"

Kurban didn't speak Chinese well, but he could understand it easily, so he spoke a series of Tajik to Jin Chongshan in a hurry.

Si Ye guessed that the father should be blaming his son for making the guests work.

After tidying up, Si Ye followed Jin Chongshan to the opposite side of the street.

The sunset in Taxian County is late, and it gets dark slowly.

Siye breathed the clear breeze of the plateau and looked up at the shimmering, deep sapphire-like sky.

Fish-scale clouds floated by, embellishing the sky with ripples.

Really like the sea in the sky.

Si Ye was fascinated, Jin Zhongshan turned sideways, "Follow me."

"Oh, here we come!"

What they stepped into was a three-story hotel, and the environment was naturally not as good as the one Si Ye lived in in a big city, but it was okay.

There seems to be a problem with the check-in system at the front desk, and several lines of guests are waiting anxiously.

Jin Chongshan stepped forward and asked, and said that it was a network card.

Si Ye was a little embarrassed.

Before it was dark, he wanted to check in quickly, go out for a walk, buy some water and snacks.

Jin Chongshan stretched out his hand: "Give me your ID card."

"Ok?"

"You go through the security check first, and then scan your face. I'll wait here. Come back and ask me to get your room card."

Si Ye didn't mind giving Jin Chongshan his ID card.

But what Jin Zhongshan means is that he will also stay in this hotel tonight?

"You... don't live in your own house?"

"This is my home."

"..."

It's the young master!Excuse me!

Si Ye walked backwards along the road the car was driving on.

Street lamps are like silent guards, and their gentle light is their protection for pedestrians.

This is the frontier, very close to the national border.

In Siye's previous cognition, the frontier more or less meant wildness and danger.

But at this moment, with the faint lights behind him and the silent snow-capped mountains in front of him, he felt more at ease than ever before.

Going forward, we are almost out of the county seat, and the lights are even weaker.

The windows of the bungalows I saw when I came here were dark, and the herdsmen who lived inside had probably fallen asleep.

A middle-aged man came on a motorcycle.

When he approached, Si Ye saw him looking at him all the time.

The motorcycle stopped, and Si Ye didn't leave.

The man asked lamely, are you a guest, are you going to the village to attend the wedding?

Si Ye shook his head.

I was a bit puzzled by the man's mention of the wedding.

The man laughed honestly, saying that some guests came to Tajik County just to attend a Tajik wedding, and he met several guests who went to the village on foot at night.

Si Ye immediately became interested, and wanted to go back and ask Jin Chongshan.

The man looked worried, and told Siye not to go any further.

Si Ye asked, "Is it because going out of the county would be dangerous?"

The man laughed.

He said he was just worried that he would not be able to find his way back, and there were few people at night, so he couldn't find anyone to pick him up if he was really lost.

In the end, the man invited Siye to take a motorcycle and take him back to the center of the county.

Si Ye politely refused.

Before leaving, the man said proudly that the Tajik people are a kind-hearted people. In Tajik County, he does not have to worry about encountering bad people and dangers.

Si Ye responded sincerely with sincerity, "Thank you."

When he returned to the hotel, Si Ye was carrying a large bucket of mineral water and two bottles of "deadly" Da Wusu.

When I went through the security check, I searched all my pockets, but I couldn't find my ID card and room card.

He froze, cold sweat poured out on his forehead instantly.

If the room card is lost, it can be reissued, but in Xinjiang, losing the ID card is almost impossible.

Where did it go?

He clutched his forehead and tried hard to remember.

Lost it on a walk?Or is it time to buy water?

Thinking, he rushed out of the hotel and ran towards the store.

The clerk said that no ID card was found.

He had no choice but to search the same way, walking too hastily, his chest gradually felt tight.

This is a symptom of hyperreflexia.

He told himself to calm down and looked at the stone slab on the ground seriously.

At this moment, the phone vibrated suddenly.

[Jin Zhongshan: Haven't come back yet? ]

Si Ye dialed a voice directly.

"Brother Jin, I lost my ID card and room card!"

There was silence from the phone.

Jin Chongshan is speechless, right?

After not looking at him for a while, he lost his ID card.

Si Ye also felt that he was useless, but the first thing to do was to find his ID card.

"Brother Jin, how about you help me?"

"Your ID card and room card are here with me, let you come back and get them from me, forgot?"

"..."

Si Ye squatted on the ground slowly, hugging his knee with his left hand.

A strong breath surrounded him.

Why... did he suddenly fall ill again?

Last time it was a border defense card, this time it was an ID card and room card.Is his memory against Zheng?

In an extremely depressed mood, Si Ye didn't know that Jin Chongshan could hear his heavy breathing clearly.

"Where is it?" Jin Chongshan asked.

Si Ye tried his best to sound relaxed.

"I just came out to look for it, and I'll be right back. Brother Jin, which room are you in?"

"Where is it?" Jin Zhongshan repeated.

This sound was strong and deep, and even carried a hint of impatience for Si Ye's refusal to answer honestly.

Si Ye had no choice but to report the coordinates.

Jin Chongshan said coldly: "Wait."

Si Ye really didn't move half a step.

It's not that Jin Zhongshan was intimidated.He's just very unhappy.

Because of his illness, and because he caused Jin Chongshan another trouble.

I was very happy today. I saw such a magnificent scenery and ate enough yak bone marrow for a lifetime.

He was so happy that he forgot that he was a patient.

In the end, he was killed by "forgotten".

The wind was a bit strong, and he didn't feel comfortable, and he didn't notice that his hair was messed up.

Jin Chongshan came over on his motorcycle, the headlights hit Si Ye, and the first thing he saw was that golden, messy hair.

Gulibayi has raised many stray cats, and he just rubbed the head of one of them.

Cats love to be clean and groom well.

... This person is not particular about cats.

The motorcycle stopped, and Si Ye looked up at Jin Zhongshan.

His feet were numb.

Jin Chongshan wanted to urge people to get into the car, but the moment they looked at each other, the words suddenly stopped on his lips.

Under the street lamp, Si Ye's pupils were amber, like plateau medicinal tea with ice.

The skin is very white, like fine porcelain holding tea.

The tea seemed to be overflowing.

He is sad.

Jin Chongshan thought.

The stray cats in Gulibayi are carefree every day, but a few of them become depressed for no reason.

He told Gu Libai.

Gu Libai called Kurban, but none of them could be seen to be unhappy.

Only he can see it.

He rubbed the sad stray cat's head.

At first they turned their backs on him, and soon they would be turned upside down, squinting at him.

Jin Chongshan took off his half-fingered gloves for cycling, and pressed Si Ye's messy blond hair.

Si Ye half opened his mouth, a little unresponsive.

"Get in the car." Jin Zhongshan said.

Si Ye went to Jin Zhongshan's room to get his room card and ID card, and unexpectedly found that Jin Zhongshan lived in a guest room, just like the room in Kashgar B&B, with few personal belongings.

"You usually live here?"

"I live anywhere."

Si Ye didn't understand.

You can live anywhere, you can live anywhere, but isn’t anywhere home?

From Kashgar to Taxkorgan, Jin Chongshan can live anywhere, and he is comfortable with the situation, without too much luggage, without worries, and can come and leave at any time.

is that what it means?

Before Si Ye went back to his room, he was stopped by Jin Chongshan, who once again told him not to take a bath tonight, and handed over his thermos.

Si Ye is holding the thermos, there is no bank here, "Brother Jin, I don't have amnesia."

Jin Chongshan nodded lightly, "Yes."

Si Ye lay on a clean bed in the hotel, unable to sleep.

Jin Chongshan's hand seemed to be still on his hair.

He's thankful he didn't make it too obvious at the time.

In fact, he was in a state of extreme negativity, criticizing himself for forgetting his ID.

——When he was in Chengdu, he often did this.

Medication was useless, and the doctor's persuasion had limited effect.

Every time he fell into such emotions, it took him a long time to climb out of the quagmire step by step.

But the moment Jin Chongshan's car lights shone into his eyes, the moment Jin Chongshan's hand rested on his head.

He suddenly felt a gentle and generous light lift himself up.

The stinky sludge was washed away by the light in an instant.

For the first time, he didn't have to struggle desperately alone.

Someone was able to pull him up.

Si Ye kept a small lamp, curled up, and fell asleep in a daze after a long time.

Did not sleep well.

As if feeling the danger of being dispelled, those nightmares that had bound him for half a year returned.

Remind him that malice doesn't disappear so easily.

No one can save you.

In the tall warehouse, beams of light came in from several small windows at the top.

The warehouse is bright and dark.

The designs Si Ye is proud of are worn on lifeless models.

All models have the same face.

Realistically visible skin textures.

The clothes had been cut to pieces, and the blood had solidified into black.

The models looked at him, sullen, mad.

There is a "model" that moves.

It was a terminally ill man wearing his most high-profile creations.

Of course, the piece is also bloody.

The "model" has sunken cheeks and is being killed by illness.

The "model" came to him, and ended his life with a smile under his heart-piercing shouts and pleas.

He spent a day and a night in this warehouse with standing models and fallen corpses.

He also nearly died in the warehouse.

Si Ye woke up covered in cold sweat, the tragic scene in his dream lingering on.

Looking at the time, it turned out that he only slept for an hour.

Can't sleep anymore.

Si Ye turned on all the lights, opened the curtains, and his pupils suddenly lit up.

In the black crystal-like sky, the Milky Way runs across, and the Big Dipper is clearly visible!

When changing clothes, Si Ye first picked up his jacket, thought for a while, then changed into Jin Zhongshan's cotton coat, and ran downstairs quickly.

Taxian has fallen asleep, only the street lights are still on.

Putting his hands in the pockets of his padded jacket, Si Ye sat by the flower bed outside the hotel, staring at the stars with a blank mind.

I don’t know how long I watched it, when I heard the sound of motorcycles on the road.

He looked over and saw three men riding three motorcycles.

The herdsmen love to ride motorcycles, the older ones are still used to riding horses, and almost all the younger generation have motorcycles.

The three got off the motorcycle, Si Ye took a closer look, and found that one of them was Jin Chongshan.

When we parted, Jin Chongshan told him to go to bed early and go to the village tomorrow.

Jin Chongshan himself didn't sleep most of the night, why did he run out?

Jin Chongshan is his driver, and his life depends on Jin Chongshan. Fatigue driving harms himself and others.

Si Ye walked over, "Brother Jin."

Jin Chongshan turned around and just took a long piece of red silk from the motorcycle rack.

Si Ye asked: "This is?"

Two other Tajik boys came around, and one of them had good Mandarin, and said with a smile, "This is the red silk used for marriage proposal, it's for the woman!"

Si Ye was dumbfounded, "Propose marriage?"

"That's right, brother Jin is back, and he just goes to propose marriage tomorrow!"
