sinking in his peril

Get off the bus on the second day, but it is actually far away from Dunhuang - it is said that there are still two or three hours' drive, but the name of the small station is cozy, it is called Liuyuan - presumably the wind of folding willows was very strong back then, and the frontier fortress was even worse. That's it - that's how it got its name.The morning in the northwest was very cold, and the exhaled breath turned into white mist, so I hurried on a small bus. The car was a little dirty, but it didn't hinder my happy mood.

The three-hour drive was a bit long, but when Zhizhi saw the melon orchards along the way, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in amazement—then she laughed at herself. She had learned in junior high school textbooks that Xinjiang's melons and fruits are the best in the world, and it must be due to the large temperature difference. Because of the high sugar content.

Dunhuang is only a small town, so it’s not difficult to find a hotel. When I arrived, I found that there was no need to book a hotel. It’s not the peak season yet, and it’s still a few days before May Day. It’s cold everywhere, as if to reserve energy for the upcoming Golden Week .

After taking a quick shower, I decided to go to Mogao Grottoes in the afternoon—this is also the most anticipated stop of this trip.Hair dries quickly even in dry places. Zhizhi just left the hotel feeling refreshed. She took an individual bus to Mogao Grottoes. Tickets, so paid a deposit, take the car to Mogao Grottoes.

All the way in the car, the weather was a bit dull, with dark clouds stagnating overhead - the driver smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, there will be more days like this, and it won't rain."

Halfway through the drive, the tourists on the side pointed out the window one after another, full of amazement—thousands of golden lights scattered densely from the clouds, refracting the brilliance like a sharp sword, and cutting the entire plain of dark black soil into pieces.

According to historical records, Monk Le Zun dug the first grotto here because he saw the golden light that "looks like a thousand Buddhas".Zhizhi couldn't help but recited a word of Buddha in her heart. This sight of the world's magnificent scenery is enough to make this trip worthwhile.

She got out of the car silently, first asked for a set of postcards at a souvenir shop, and wrote them to her parents and friends one by one, which can be regarded as a souvenir.It just happened that the distribution was over, and there was no one left for him——Zhi Zhi sent him a text message while queuing up to buy tickets: "I'm about to enter the Mogao Grottoes!"

When Zhong Ruoxi got off the plane, the director of the technical department was busy preparing for an immediate meeting, so Sister Chen and Fei Xinran came to pick him up.Watching Zhong Ruoxi approaching from a distance, the assistant pushed the luggage cart, and the two bowed their heads to talk.

Fei Xinran waved to them, and Zhong Ruoxi smiled and nodded at him. After a while, his expression relaxed, and the phone in his hand finally vibrated to indicate that there was a text message.

He slowed down, the assistant stopped and waited for him, Zhong Ruoxi raised Yang's chin slightly, signaling him to go out first.

Her voice on the phone was extremely excited and public: "I just came out of Mogao Grottoes!"

"Where is the next stop?" Zhong Ruoxi asked her in a low voice, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and several girls waiting at the side couldn't help but look at him more.

"Well, I want to watch it again. Did you know that today's tour guide is actually a master's student in the history department, a really beautiful girl—she said she likes this place, and she left home to explain and work here for two years Already." Zhizhi held the phone and said excitedly, "It's really like a legend, she said she likes to see these murals and sculptures..."

She likes to take her tour guide at first glance. She is thin, with long hair tied up and with a soft southern accent.

As soon as I graduated, I came here to work as a scenic spot guide. The so-called Taohuayuan is just living with dreams, that's all.

She spoke excitedly, but Zhong Ruoxi's voice on the other end of the phone also became colder.

"You like it there very much?" He asked with a smile, but the smile simply raised the corners of his mouth, showing a bit of arrogance.

"Yeah... No, no, not that kind of liking." Zhizhi changed his mind, and finally realized something was wrong, maybe he thought that he had changed his mind for a while, and ran to the Northwest silently to live for the rest of his life. The tour guide - couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed, how can she be such a willful person.

With a slight annoyance in his heart, he heard a slight smile on the other end of the phone, but he couldn't get angry. He frowned helplessly and said in a low voice, "When will you be back?"

"I booked a ticket to Urumqi tomorrow. It will take a few days." In fact, she had no plan in mind, but she carried a stack of self-guided tour materials with her, planning to go wherever she wanted, and turned around when she was really tired.

Sister Chen raised her watch at him, indicating that time was running out. A room full of people were waiting for him to go back to the meeting, so she could only hang up the phone in a hurry: "I will contact you again."

Zhizhi hung up the phone, and said to the tour guide Xiaoxie with a bright smile, "Leave a phone number for me." The two young girls, with the same major, were speculative with each other.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Xiao Xie had already left work, so she had nothing to do anyway, so he took her to walk through the grotto again, this time opening up many niches that were usually not open to tourists for Zhizhi to take a good look at.

Zhizhi carefully looked at the meticulously painted Thousand Buddhas or the flying flying sky on the murals, and was speechless, not listening to Xiaoxie for a while, "What did you say?"

"I said, why do you travel alone? Isn't your boyfriend worried?"

Zhizhi's face was almost close to the mural, she didn't dare to breathe loudly, and she turned her head after a while: "Boyfriend? I don't have one yet, maybe I will have one when I go back." She smiled ambiguously, and Xiao Xie also found it funny.

"Why is the edge black?" Zhizhi pointed to a little Feitian's sleeve and asked Xiaoxie.

"It's oxidized, think about it, how many years it has been."

Zhizhi stepped on the lotus bricks carved in the Western Xia Dynasty, and felt that time and space flowed, full of antiquity.However, the second time was still walking fast, and she was standing under the plank road again in a blink of an eye. Xiao Xie reminded her with a smile: "If you don't go, you really won't have a car back to Dunhuang." It takes up quite a lot.”

Xiao Xie smiled and hugged her, and said to her loudly: "Goodbye!" Such an intelligent girl seemed to have known her for several years in just a few hours. Her eyes were like the bright lights in the desert night sky. Xingzi looked at her with inquiry: "You, your heart is too small, your eyes are too big." And with a little pride: "Everyone is like me, the world is messed up."

Zhizhi said, "If you come to the south, you must find me."

She waved her hand with a smile, thinking silently in her heart: What is the heart that is too small and eyes that are too big?It turns out that this is, obviously the one in front of her is very good, but she still can't help being envious of the other one, she thought, this is really not good.

So I looked back at Sanwei Mountain, which was getting farther and farther away, and called Zhong Ruoxi with a smile, but turned off the phone, and squatted at the roadside stall to choose a gift for him-a soft white camel, I want to come to him. At that time, you will definitely be dumbfounded.

Back at the hotel, Zhizhi called her parents to report that she was safe, and then went out to continue the journey. It is said that Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon Spring are the best time to watch them at sunset, but in the end she was a little disappointed—the artificially irrigated pool The water in the pool always felt uncomfortable, and the camels were in a panic, so they left the scenic spot early.

Call him again, or turn off the phone.

The conference room was empty, Zhong Ruoxi's eyes were a little bit astringent, but he let out a long sigh of relief. After getting the transfer, he finally held a meeting and arranged everything properly. Technology companies keep pace with each other, he sighed in his heart, compared with foreign countries, domestic technology still has some gaps - fortunately this time it finally caught up.

Just remembering to turn on the phone, the mobile company reminded him that someone had called him while the phone was turned off—that number, he could already recite it backwards—and he was delighted for a while, then glanced at the time, it was too late, presumably she had already rested, He willingly closed the phone.

It was rare for Zhong Ruoxi to get up one day late, and because of the long meeting that took several hours after getting off the plane, the jet lag was able to be adjusted in no time. The first thing he did was to make a phone call. The big matter was resolved, but it was rare to feel uneasy, but he didn't know why—the phone was extremely noisy, and he heard Zhizhi speaking loudly: "Huh? Can you speak louder?"
