1- Opening: All the way to the west

The long-awaited trip to Ejinna was finally completed. 

  In order to rush to meet with the poetry friends who have been separated for a long time in Lanzhou a day earlier, it was decided to refund the No. 6 ticket and leave a day early. 

  October 5th, farewell, Qingdao!

  The train carries the autumn colors of the island city, with the taste of seafood as always westward, behind the platform has always had a hodgepodge, all kinds of colors, color pity, everywhere crowded. The train sped westward, and with it the long-awaited yearning of the soul and dreams grew closer and closer.

  Carriage 2 is a conductor camping car, relatively clean and comfortable, can come in the nature has a considerable relationship, everyone quietly waiting for the ticket replacement procedures, people from all over the world temporarily formed a home, and spent every minute and every second of the long-distance journey in an orderly and harmonious manner with each other.

  Ms. Bu Qiong, an electric power industry from the Qinghai Plateau, became my first travel companion on this westward trip, she was in the opposite bunk, about 50 years old, talkative, cheerful, atmospheric, beautiful and kind, from the dress and carry-on luggage, at a glance, I know that she has a very good job, has a relatively rich income.

  From the slow and gentle exchanges later, she knew that her hometown was Sichuan, worked in Xining Electric Power Industry in Qinghai, and came to Qingdao to see her mother and sister. 

  As the conversation progressed, it was good to learn that she also loved photography and loved to capture all the good things that God had given the world.

  Ms. BuQiong and Yuzi have the same frankness and clarity, similar temperament, and natural speculation.

  After a while, Ms. Bu Qiong took out a very fashionable Apple mobile phone and gave me a look at the scenery films she had taken in various parts of Qinghai, while detailing the various scenic spots in Qinghai, she said that I would contact her when I went to Qinghai. 

  After a short contact, it seems that I have been a friend of acquaintance for a long time, and while admiring the brightly colored photos, I listened to her detailed explanation, as if I was already immersed in the scene and had followed her into many scenic spots in Qinghai.

  Similar temperaments, common hobbies, and attention to close themes will bring two hearts closer in an instant. 

  We can talk about the kind of simple-minded women who are unguarded by the people around them. 

  Finally we exchanged business cards.

  The variety of scenery in society has become strange, we love our own era, but we have a terrible sense of distance from it, to be able to live easily, is the common desire of modern people, can be called a very luxurious thing, and can communicate with people without defense, it is even more rare.

  Maybe we are really old, the memory of many things has been forgotten when mentioned, going out for a long trip, in a short travel time, it is indeed a kind of relaxation and enjoyment to meet a travel companion who can be talked about, it is a kind of luck, there is no side branching involved, there is no terrible interest mixing, and it is even rarer to be able to communicate comfortably, and a travel companion like Bu Qiong, I will store her in memory.

  Perhaps, because they are all related households, they are very conscious, and this special carriage is particularly quiet, talking softly and walking around softly

  With the change of events, to Weifang, Bu Qiong moved with her luggage to a few more bunks inside, the opposite bunk was immediately owned by a young couple who had just boarded the car, the conversation learned that they were college students of Baoji College of Arts and Sciences, and they returned to Weifang during the National Day holiday to visit their parents, and their intimacy was enough to tell me that the two of them loved very deeply.

  The girl is very beautiful, just in her early twenties, if you are strictly picky, in addition to not entering the film school examiner's eyes, you can't fault it, the young man is handsome and capable, full of youthful vitality, tattooed with blue flowers on his arms, guessing that it is a master who loves to fight, hehe, sure enough, I guessed, and later he told me that it was such a drop.

  Love itself is non-negotiable, they are from the same city in Weifang, and they are the same university, and they are in love without restraint.

  As night fell, the train sped west, and the temperature inside and outside the train gradually dropped, so I slipped directly into the quilt and sat tightly.

  The handsome boy was originally the middle bunk on my head, but he had to sleep with the girl on the narrow bottom bunk opposite me, the boy's strong appearance, from time to time there was a possibility of a heavy punch, but he was in front of the beloved girl, meekly like a sheep, oh, the sheep in Wang Luobin's song. They show people love in a generous way, make others envious, and at this moment, they are happy. Ha, I was a little embarrassed to look at them, even though it was close to me.

  The car was full of October autumn intentions roaring westward, with the orderly rhythm of the train, the heart slowly calmed down, with the faint night light, before going to bed, I looked at the two couples hugging each other tightly, and I was really worried that the guy would fall.

  The autumn night is deepening, the car continues to drive west, stop and start, I don't know which station I arrived at, my thoughts also fall with the stop and start of the train, ups and downs... , the carriage is unusually quiet, suddenly came the soft laughter of the couple on the opposite side of the bunk, is it a dream? Still awake? Suddenly remembered their first love when they were young, people at that time could not be compared with modern people, people at that time lived very rigidly, lived very carefully, people in hot love did not dare to look at each other's eyes, ha, not to mention the public hug and kiss.

  The era of rapid information, flying colorful, the planning of the prospect into a string of sugar gourds, to undertake this string of sugar gourds is the most vivid power of an era, into the fast-paced era of young people, this era belongs to you. Whenever I hear them whisper softly and sincerely wish them eternal happiness, just like this moment.

  The 36-year-old man in the middle shop opposite is a railway locomotive maintenance worker in Qinghai, who said that he worked at the last station called Golmud before entering Tibet, a shandong native, who returned to Shandong to visit his parents this time and had to get off the train in Xining and change trains.

  The man said that 20 years ago, the Qinghai railway section came to the countryside of Shandong to recruit locomotive maintenance workers, because his hometown was poor, and his parents were the first to approve of his application. After the age of 16, he began to embark on a long life journey alone, he traveled alone, and since then he has been in Qinghai for 20 years, and now he has been married and had children in Golmud. His dark face told me the intensity of the ultraviolet rays on the plateau, and if I hadn't listened to him say his age, I would have thought he was at least 40 years old.

  The 36-year-old man's speech speed is very slow, his voice is very low, showing a face of vicissitudes and fatigue, and Bu Qiong, who has worked in Qinghai for 20 years, cannot be compared with a pair of college students in Baoji College of Arts and Sciences, Bu Qiong and the two young people each have their own superiority, have their own happy courtyard, and I can't see this from the face of this 36-year-old man, I only see his hard journey and boring single-rhythm life. He said to me: When I look at you, I am engaged in art, good temperament and quiet, I like to talk to you.

I said to him seriously: Thank you.

  The train sped straight west, passing through one province after another in autumn.

  For more than a day, the man who worked in the Qinghai Railway in the middle bunk across the street had been sitting quietly in front of the window of the corridor without saying a word, rarely returning to the shop to rest, he silently looked at the scenery of the rapid retreat outside the car window, and rarely ate and drank, which was in strong contrast with the couple who were alive and beautiful.

  The monotonous and boring working environment of the plateau railway has made him tempered into a lonely man. After Baoji passed, after two honey-like lovers surrounded by the car, he slowly sat down opposite me, slowly talked with me, maybe he had a stomach, did not know who to say, did not know where to start, year after year, he only took the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as a companion, entrusted all the words to the plateau wind, and brought it to his hometown in Shandong...

  The honey little couple left, and the Shandong man, who had been silent for a day and a night, finally opened the topic.

  He told me in a slow tone that his hometowners and parents had glorified him for serving a railroad rice bowl, but now the first thing they regretted was their parents. Golmud environment is harsh and harsh, vegetables are very small, the income is not much, and the income of relatives in Shandong is basically the same, the child is 7 years old, he is very worried about the future of the child, because the education there is far worse than in the mainland... As he spoke, as a father, his brow furrowed, his speech became slower and slower, his tone became lower and lower, and I guessed that he was a man with a sense of burden, at least a responsible father.

  The speed of the car increased, gradually snatching back the time that had been twenty minutes late, and the 36-year-old man on the other side stopped talking, but only occasionally looked up at me and showed a smile that seemed very reluctant. The environment will change a person, and the burden of life will crush the seven-foot man. Lanzhou arrived on the hour, I said goodbye to him, he stood up and took the initiative to help me take down the bag on the shelf...

At this moment, through the window, I saw that Wang Huaiqin (pen name Lao Gai) was already on the platform, wow, this guy, still quite trustworthy! Happy, he took three steps and made two steps straight to the door of the car, forgetting to say goodbye to him who was working in Golmud.
