By the end of October 2001 in Urumqi, the city's colors have become a dark gray.
Plan Dunhuang line, spend a pleasant weekend trip. Route already well developed, zz from sina is also back in a thoroughly cooked. My itinerary was Saturday around 6:00 to Dunhuang station, two days Mogao Grottoes and Mingsha, Sunday night, return to Urumqi.
If one did not start very well, buy a ticket to the train station the night before. Because the time difference here from work 7:30, eats dinner, has been approaching the normal 9:00. Straight into the ticket hall.
High ticket hall hanging huge electronic screen showing the train number of sites fare, that is not the site arrival time; hall has information desk Mimizaza circle of a Circuit mixed crowd, great effort and forbearance taste (where people There mutton flavor) break the siege, crowded near the window, loudly asked, "Is there more than 6 am to Dunhuang of the trips?" I make moves. Inquirer staff such scenes become commonplace, Leng is that even the first had not carried, Take That, give them easy - "T194 !""%&#$@%^&#@$-#@%&&* ￥%" I did not expect that reaction so fast, I really have a small stare. "It's ......" For her second stroke, but, the people around you on cue, the one pushing me, and I obstinately three measures had not been out of out-group.
Unlucky child! There are signs reading "Timetable" window signs, but there is no timetable sold; a schedule to sell the small grocery store into a inquire about being told not coincidentally, has just changed a few days time, is now sold is no longer accurate . Described how it was helter-skelter? On a word, miserable! If you use the word, giant miserable!
Try a variety of ways to obtain information failed, the Lord of Heaven followed by creating confusion, and rain swirling. Darkness growing stronger, I have decided that the letter Inquirer staff time - she was a little one ponder on the red, a clear-cut satisfactory end!
Return to the ticketing hall. Duty police officers in twos and threes, from time to time shouting with an unruly Hasa or Uygurs. Under this management, booking, road teams are also considered normal, and soon my turn to stand before the window of the booking. Well, it looks not too atrocious conductor.
I used one last chance, carefully asked the conductor: "Will the T194 plays a few points to Dunhuang?" It is estimated that the rain-delayed she was embarrassing question, 5 seconds later, she changed radically different expression, "weather-beaten," written on the face of greatly words: happy! ---- At me: "The outside has the information desk!!!" Immediately lateral to face the next person. "Call!" Suddenly swarmed to several, just buy a ticket, how does such a heinous satisfactory end? I think the situation is extremely detrimental to me, I have quickly expelled from being the window to the favorable terrain啦, Heroes do not eat the immediate losses, hastened to pull out money --
"Buy one tomorrow evening to Dunhuang sleeper!"
"T194?"
"The!!"
Bought their tickets to come out and others robbed a taxi, but also one foot stepping on mud gone bad, 55555, my poor boots. . . . . .
The second day, feeling Urumqi large traffic jams for nearly half an hour later, the taxi finally stopped at the train station was full of muddy intersection. Through the many obstacles, I almost ran into the waiting room and found that already is drawing huge crowds.
T194 has begun to cut ticket release times.
Because no baggage, almost the last one on the train, find their own place to settle down. Long-distance trains from Urumqi to Hankou, condition is very good, wash your hands well filled lake for use compression-style hand-washing liquid, toilet rolls actually have style paper towels, gently press a round convex gray rubber buttons, water natural flushing (Ai Yoyo , as if the toilet too detailed description of land). Quilt clean and warm, not the original gray blanket Hu Hu; the bon bon soft pillow loosely. . . . . . Stop!
Back to the description of some of my neighborhood shop, they are key, for me this trip to Dunhuang has played a crucial role.
I slept on the 14th upper berth, not a very auspicious number, vernacular is "real death" of the harmonics. Lower berth, and in the shop are more than 30-year-old nearly middle age, two men speaking in a Henan accent, wearing glasses. Lying in a semi-covered, the name of phone, I pay attention to listening to what seems to inform the other party in the day stay in Dunhuang, to the Mogao Grottoes to play or something.
Time that he lay down their cell phone, I asked: "Will to Dunhuang points?"
"Around 5 o'clock." The man carried a bit eyelids.
"My mouth leng ah ?!%&#@!$" is no close up.
. ".. Morning... The... 5... Five points?" I can not be reconciled.
That people are very readily replied, "ah!"
Like sunny days a thunderbolt, thunder exploding overhead, I think I was definitely a very strange expression, half-day did not fascinating stats. Inquirer staff that deceived me! ! ! 5 o'clock in Urumqi What is the concept? ! And Beijing because of poor two time zones, 7 o'clock in the morning here, also was barely dawn and the proposed projects, that is, 5 o'clock, or not see the black pitch-dark clock reaching something.
It is necessary to briefly explain the Dunhuang Railway Station was originally called Yanagihara Station, located in Dunhuang City, the northeast side, there are 148 km away from Dunhuang City, the distance Santana general He walked almost two hours, which is a two-hour journey is not cottage, way Gobi, deserted; does have a car waiting at the station, specifically, the set you go to Dunhuang City, the four share a car, head-count, each 30 yuan. But I naturally timid, it is impossible to Dunhuang in the dark, such as to wait for dawn, and then proceed from the train station, you must do nothing at the station 2 hours. How to do? ? How to do? ? Calculations to calculations go. . . . . . A time not recruited. Alas, no way! See step walk it, the first Shuibao think about! Wrapped in blankets to sleep.
Car to Hami, Xinjiang in the last one station, up a lot of people, God! 2:30, a quick so excited about it? Luggage There are many places to put ah, why should people base in the luggage? An emergency brake will not fall off? I am afraid that they give my baby kicked adidas, nervous watching their every move. With great difficulty and so they settled down, each place, Heshangshuangyan, slowly. . . . . . "Hu Hu!" I suddenly woke up! Maya, grunts, one after another, cadence and loud, the entire chorus of a mix. Although the upper berth to sleep, but I felt grunt work closely surrounded. Northwest is a forthright guy ah! What is besieged on all sides? This is besieged on all sides! I would be deeply understands strategy! Their resentment to themselves, poor me alone depressed until 4 am.
5:00.
I bow tied shoelaces, silent. Seeing Dunhuang station approaching, and my heart what to do with financing. That duo also got up and ready to pack up, sit covered. On several occasions, I have always said to them: "Can you and with you? I also went Mogao Grottoes." His tongue, or throat down, hold back exports of Leng did not say yes. Car stops, followed them out of the car.
Small site, dim lights, one-degree temperatures, cold wind straight neck and dipping. Looking back, the former balcony, Ai Yoyo, Dunhuang arrival, which set out 18 cars of the train even I only made a total of three passengers, including integration. I watched them gradually away in silhouette, but with the fearless spiritual strength. "Come Yishui Han Feng Xiaoxiao, Xi is still beauty to a complex also"! If a person came out, must have car to Piedmont Road! I dallying to drag away my lonely street and fat (stand the cold, wear more and more similar to the shape dumplings SM) was a long pull.
Wondering if that was it?
