I Run a Gas Station in the Northwest

I’ve heard the old Uighur people say before that people who like to play long-distance cycling often pass by on the highway in Xinjiang. Chen Mu has been working at the gas station for three months and has never seen it before. Today, he opened his eyes.

After the five people got out of the car, they immediately got busy.

Replenishing water, buying things, and even people squatting down to dismantle the car on the spot, probably to adjust the bicycle and replace parts.

Chen Mu greeted these guests in a hurry. Although the business is not big, it is rare for the gas station to be so popular at night.

Chen Mu discovered that one of these cyclists was particularly interesting, with a bird wrapped in clothes in his arms, because it was tightly wrapped, and he couldn't see the specific bird.

The man noticed that Mr. Chen Mu was looking at the bird in his arms, and he smiled and said, "This is a wild duck, which is injured."

"Wild duck?"

Chen Mu thought it was the other's pet, so he was reluctant to take it with him when he went out to ride, but he didn't expect it to be a wild duck.

The man was a middle-aged man, short and sturdy, with a high talk, and continued: "It is interesting to say that our motorcade was going downhill through a green belt two days ago. The speed is very fast. I didn't expect this one. The silly wild duck flew out of the green belt suddenly, hitting me with his head, and knocking me down."

While talking, the middle-aged man took the wild duck from his arms, then took out a mineral water bottle that had been cut in half from his pocket, filled it with some water, and fed the wild duck to drink.

The wild duck is not small, with a yellow-green beak, orange-yellow feet, bright green head and neck, a distinctive white collar on the neck, dark brown upper body, black feathers on waist and tail, and a white belly , Especially eye-catching.

Chen Mu felt that the most beautiful thing about it was the purple-blue wing mirrors on its wings, which looked very dazzling.

The middle-aged man continued: "When it flew out very suddenly, it hit me very hard. At that time, I fell off the car and overturned several somersaults. Hey, luckily I was lucky. The car was okay. It's okay... Well, after inspection, I just got a little broken skin and no bone injuries, otherwise this trip would really have to go home because of this little thing.

With a hearty smile, the middle-aged man pointed to the wild duck who was getting into the mineral water bottle to drink, and said: "It is much worse than me. The wings should be broken. I wonder if there is any other place. Injured, anyway, I can’t fly. I have been carrying it with me these days, depending on whether it can survive.”

It was the first time that Chen Mu heard of such a thing. There was such a stupid bird who flew out and hit someone riding a bicycle, and also smashed his own wings. If he changed his person, it might be eaten in a stew right now. .

They ride out, come in contact with a lot of people, are generally very wild, and they are especially able to communicate.

After the middle-aged man chatted with Chen Mu for a while, because Chen Mu handed over a bottle of cold beer, he was very bold and handed the wild duck to Chen Mu.

"This trip our travel plan is very tight, we must first enter Xinjiang, and then enter Tibet from Xinjiang..."

"Little brother, I can't take care of this wild duck, or leave it to you?"

"Usually give it some anti-inflammatory drugs, and see if it can survive it. Um, if it can't survive it, it's fate, and we can't control it."

...

Chen Mu was holding the wild duck that drank the water and slept in his clothes nest. What he thought at the time was: "I heard that this thing is a state-protected animal. I don't know how it is now... Is it illegal to eat?"

The riders in the cycling team drank a box of cold beer, and Chen Mu gave them a preferential price of 20 per bottle.

Although the price is much more expensive than outside, they can understand the price without visiting the village and the shop, so they paid for it boldly and had a great drink.

The middle-aged person is a talkative, talkative a lot, and keeps talking.

Chen Mu obviously didn't say anything, but the middle-aged man felt that he and Chen Mu were in agreement. Probably because Chen Mu was a good listener and did not bother him, he finally hugged Chen Mu and called his brothers. Change contact information.

In the desert, the communication between people is sometimes so simple and direct, and they don't care about other messy things.

That night, the people in the cycling team slept on the floor of the business room. They brought tents and sleeping bags.

Before dawn the next day, they set off again, leaving only the wild duck in Chen Mu's arms.

When the cycling team walked away, Chen Mu patted the wild ducks on the head: "Come on, there is a poultry shed next to our garage. It has been useless. It just happened to let you live. Please declare in advance that you should be fed and fed. Feeding the medicine, I won’t lose you. It’s up to myself whether you can survive it...well, when you can fly, just go by yourself. If you can’t survive it...Tsk tsk, don’t blame me for being cruel."

After that, Chen Mu, a kindhearted man, put the ducks in the shed, put two more bowls, one for water and one for food, and turned and left.

The duck looked at Chen Mu's back, shrank his head, hiding in the corner covered with hay, and stopped moving.

Chen Mu went back to the room to catch up. After getting up, he changed his clothes and was about to go to Bahe Town to buy some fish fry, but he didn't expect that Ali Kun from outside suddenly rushed in: "Brother Xiaomu, sister Chen is here."

"Huh? Who?"

Chen Mu couldn't remember for a while.

Alekun quickly said: "It's Sister Chen, um, the one who stayed with you the other day."

Chen Xiwen?

Chen Mu reacted.

What is she doing?

Boss Chen has an extremely agile business thinking. He thought of beer for the first time, and said to Alekun quickly: "Go, carry a box of beer and throw it into the freezer in the cellar."

The gang in the cycling team drank all his boxes of cold beer last night, and he had no stock in his hands.

The Uighur teenager didn't understand why the boss suddenly said this. After a response, he left in confusion.

Chen Mu walked towards the business room and saw Chen Xiwen. What surprised him was that the other party was not a smoky ghost, but with light make-up and a white coat. Even the stethoscope and famous brand were still hanging. On the chest.

This is very intellectual and very beautiful.

"How did you come?"

Chen Mu took a look at Chen Xiwen and found that the woman's face was not so good today, her eyes were a little red, she seemed to have just cried, and then tentatively asked: "You...did something happen to you?"

Boss Chen felt strongly that if it wasn't during the day, his beer sales might have gone by a lot.

When Chen Xiwen saw Chen Mu, he seemed to relax suddenly, took off his white coat, still in the chair, and said, "I ran away from home."

"Uh?"

Boss Chen was shocked.

He still hadn't finished receiving the amount of information in Chen Xiwen's words, and Chen Xiwen said: "I want to stay with you for a few days."

Hearing this, Boss Chen opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed into: "Five hundred a day."

then

"Deal!"
