Chapter 29
You forgot to wish us back alive
Mr. Zhou introduced three Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wu and Mr. Yan.
Xia Qianshen triggered the shielding mechanism the moment Mr. Zhou opened his mouth, and only saw fried mutton, barbecued meat in a pit, and Tianshan milk tea in his eyes.
The meal was full of ghosts, Mr. Zhou told Xia Qianshen how much the three had high expectations for him.The maintenance workers buried their heads in their meals, while Zhong Su was feeling strange.
Mr. Zhou: "Qian Chen is the trump card of our GP. That kid Cao Hanxi didn't live up to it. Now he is the only one left in the whole team."
Zhong Su: "Everyone has a mortal body, running on this kind of road, luck is still the majority."
Mr. Zhou: "That's right, our chairman, the incense burner on the New Year's Day is to pray for the safety of all our drivers this year!"
Zhong Su: "It's very touching. It turns out that we are lucky, and we also rely on the chairman to burn incense and worship Buddha."
Mr. Zhou: "Exactly."
Zhong Su: "My role model."
One to two to go the wind gusts.
The people from these three sponsors came to Xinjiang this time not only to watch the Tournament Rally, but also to investigate the maintenance projects of the Kunlun Mountain Highway.
This is the title sponsorship on top of GP, the biggest trademark on their racing car.It was because of the face of the sponsor that they got a ten-day medical team.
So Zhong Su was polite when facing the three sponsors.
And Xia Qianshen was sinking into the fried mutton.
The weight of the racer is a part of the dead weight of the racing car. His diet is relatively healthy, and he does not usually eat such hard-core fried food.
However, the joy brought by the mixture of sugar and oil is immediate. The burnt and crispy shell locks the juice, and the fresh but not smelly mutton uses simple seasoning, which does not conceal its own taste at all.
Inexplicably, this made Xia Qianchen subtly have the illusion of drinking blood - actually on such a piece of well-cooked fried lamb.
So Xia Qianshen didn't care about Zhong Su's conversation with them at all. He was like a child taken to a dinner by his parents. This was delicious, and so was that.
Zhong Suba calmly dealt with Mr. Zhou and the three sponsors, and was able to find time to serve Xia Qianchen with vegetables, drinks, and paper towels.Until the end of the meal, the sponsor finally said such a sentence.
"If the SS9 Kunlun Tianlu stage wins the stage championship, even if it is not the overall champion of Huanta, Xia Qianshen will be the annual image spokesperson of our group in the coming year."
Xia Qianchen slowly put down his chopsticks, took the tissue, twitched the corner of his mouth, and raised his eyes.
The champion of the stage, that is, the stage with the least time.
Xia Qianshen said: "To be honest, the pressure was a bit high, and there was a sandstorm and strong wind on SS9, so I didn't have that much confidence to win the stage championship."
Hearing this, Zhong Su was slightly taken aback.
This sentence came out of Xia Qianchen's mouth, which is nothing more than "collapsing human design".
At the dinner table, the two sponsors looked at each other, and one of them said: "But we have received news that you are very confident in the ring tower this year, and even plan to break the record."
The air was silent for a moment.
It's true which pot doesn't open and which pot to lift. Just after being coaxed two days ago, Zhong Su glanced at the man, and then at Xia Qianchen.
Xia Qianchen only smiled calmly, "When I was young, I uttered wild words, forgive me."
Including Nana, the people at the dinner table seemed to hear some extremely absurd speech.
The record holder from the New North Circuit, the king of the Sichuan-Tibet North Line, and the new champion of Tongtian Avenue.
This young racer, who soared into the sky as soon as he debuted, has achieved achievements that almost cannot be touched by rally racers of the same age.Unlike others who hide their strengths and bide their time, when he first appeared in the eyes of everyone, he turned 300 yards, and the 16-cylinder supercar was overshadowed.
Xia Qianshen went on to say: "In the past, it was said that ringing the tower is all about talking on paper. It is better to meet people than to be famous. Only when you meet you will know that you are overestimated. There is a big difference between theory and practice. Can you understand?"
"Can, can."
"Yes... yes."
"It's true, alas, we live in the city for a long time, rely on data analysis, and ignore that this is an extreme sport."
Only Mr. Zhou was ashamed.
In many cases, things will develop like this. Party A is considerate and understands, but the leader thinks it can't be done.
After the meal, Mr. Zhou stopped Zhong Su.
On the small street at the entrance of the restaurant, Mr. Zhou asked, "Tell me the truth, what is the probability that Xia Qianchen will win the first place in Kunlun Tianlu?"
Zhong Su said: "50%, get it, or not get it."
After finishing speaking, Zhong Su took his leave.
The hotel where they stayed was opposite the hotel, and Xia Qianchen was waiting for him across the street.
In fact, this sentence was said by Xia Qianchen back then, the probability in this world is only 50% - it happened, and it didn't happen.
He walked towards Xia Qianchen, just as the copper basin-like sun had completely set on the horizon, and the tuft of dull hair on Xia Qianchen's head swayed left and right with the night wind.
"What did you two say?" Xia Qianchen asked.
Zhong Su answered truthfully, and Xia Qianchen laughed out loud after hearing this, joking that he had earned enough money, and the leader dared to tease him like that.
-
In the morning of the next day, depart for the departure point of SS7.
The Populus euphratica stage is comparable to the "Elk Test" section, and on the Gobi, the road is bumpy and uneven, which is a test of car control ability.
After the cancellation of the fifth and sixth stages, the starting waiting area of the seventh stage can be clearly seen to be much depressed, which shows that some cars chose to retire before the start of SS7.
Or the car damage in the first few stages was too serious, or it might be that the weather forecast and the strong wind warning that Nan Sanfeng popped up once made them feel resigned. In short, Xia Qianchen made a rough count and found that there were less than 3 cars. up.
Zhong Su checked the road book as usual.Xia Qianchen looked at him for a while, Zhong Su should have felt the gaze cast on him, but he didn't move his gaze away from the notebook, he just asked, "What's wrong?"
"If the Huanta didn't complete the course, can you explain to Mr. Zhou?"
Zhong Su flipped through the notebook calmly, lowered his eyes, "Is there anything he can't explain, can he still beat me up?"
"I mean money."
Zhong Su stopped what he was doing, and said flatly: "I am earning money, not stealing money. Start the ignition and check yourself."
Today is still a strong wind. After the number of grids has decreased, even if it is the rear grid, it will soon be the turn of the 09 Impreza.
Xia Qianshen, from the initial resistance to the navigator's acceptance, finally set foot on the ring tower together, he himself didn't understand what changed him in the middle.
Is it Zhong Su's professionalism?Is it Zhong Su's careful care of him?Did they ever confess their feelings to each other?
No. 09 Impreza starts.
The sound of the engine and the strong wind from the northwest are fighting over the Populus euphratica forest, and the modern machinery is equal to nature for a moment.
After 25 minutes, the Impreza rushed out of Populus euphratica forest.
At this time, Xia Qianchen didn't know that he was the fastest driver to pass Populus euphratica in the SS7 stage.
After rushing out of the Populus euphratica forest, what awaited them was a 3-kilometer long straight.
Zhong Su said in advance that this 3-kilometer-long straight Xia Qianchen can play at will.And Xia Qianchen's response was floor oil kick after kick, engine hissing, tire temperature, and a second explosion from the off-time ignition system. Xia Qianchen on the long straight line in the Gobi was unstoppable——SS7, chasing after him Ranked sixth overall.
SS7 car collection point, racing car overhaul, people also have to rest.
Check in at a small hotel near the pick-up point.
Clean, tidy and airy.
The bathroom has been cleaned carefully and there is no smell.
The problem is, there is only one queen bed.
The two of them were still holding on to the levers of their respective suitcases. They were ashamed and exhausted, clamoring both mentally and physically to take a shower and go to sleep immediately.
And this small hotel doesn't have an elevator, they carry suitcases and climb up to the third floor, if they want to change rooms, they have to go down and up again...
Zhong Su struggled for about ten seconds. He felt that he should communicate with Xia Qianchen. He asked, "Do you sleep on the left side or the right side?"
Xia Qianshen: "To the left."
The communication is over.
Late at night, when the people around him fell asleep completely, Zhong Su heard his even and quiet breathing, and slowly and gently turned over and lay completely flat.
Logically speaking, Zhong Su was very sleepy and tired, but he couldn't fall asleep for a while.
Because Zhong Su was thinking, why when he saw the big bed, his first reaction was "not right".
It was not like during the Changbai Mountain Ice and Snow Rally. At that time, I pushed the folding bed over very naturally, and opened the quilt very naturally to let him get in. Even at that time, I was not as familiar as I am now.
So why did my first reaction when I saw the big bed be "inappropriate". Isn't it normal for two men to sleep together?Before going out to run races, he, Jing Ran and the team manager at the time even shared a bed with three men...
While thinking, the person beside him turned over in a half-dream and half-awake state, and muttered something.
Zhong Su thought he was not asleep, so he moved closer and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Qianshen opened her eyes, her beautiful eyelashes were neatly lying on her lower eyelids, there was a seam in the middle of the curtains in the hotel room, and the too bright moonlight came in, just right between Xia Qianshen's eyebrows.
Xia Qianshen was tired of sleeping and frowned.
Zhong Su moved closer to help him block it, only then did he realize that he was only babbling in his sleep and was soundly asleep.
The windows of the hotel room leaked air, and the curtains fluttered a little from time to time, dangling on the window sill.Zhong Su seemed to be frozen, and he didn't know why he was like this - his eyes were glued to Xia Qian's sleeping face, and he couldn't move away.
Stop looking, Zhong Su thought, what does this look like.
Zhong Su lay back down, just as a dark cloud covered the moon and it became dark.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qian, who was in a drowsy sleep, leaned over and hugged his arm.
Zhong Su froze, dry and warm skin pressed against him, and Xia Qian's deep breath sprayed on his upper arm, soft and regular, showing that he slept well.
Thinking of this, Zhong Su finally gradually became sleepy, and finally he didn't know when, he turned sideways and hugged Xia Qianchen into his arms.
-
SS8, Celle Grand Canyon, dark clouds and undercurrents.
"Aren't you sleeping well?" Xia Qianchen asked, "Your eyes are weak and your eyes are dark blue, are you alright?"
"It's okay." Zhong Su sighed and adjusted his state, "I slept well."
——I didn't have any strange dreams, Zhong Su added subconsciously.
Many cars withdrew from the race at this stage. The front wheel of the front car responsible for steering had poor grip, so it rushed off the track and hit the front car with a broken water tank. By the way, it also hit the front car that had turned over. Roll around a bit more.
Although No. 09 Impreza had a lot of new and old injuries, he finished this stage tremblingly.
At the finish line of SS8, the four-wheel drive group collected 19 cars, and Xia Qianshen and Zhong Su ranked fourth in total time.
After a day's rest, we came to the last stage of the Ring of Towers Rally, SS9 Kunlun Tianlu.
Kunlun Mountain, the ancestor of all mountains.
It is 2500 kilometers long from east to west and 200 kilometers wide from north to south. It starts from the Pamirs in the west and ends in Sichuan and Chongqing in the east. The entire mountain range is within the national border.
On the north side is the 40-square-kilometer Tarim Basin, and on the south side is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Xia Qianchen took a deep breath.
Zhong Su unconsciously took a deep breath.
"Don't be nervous." Zhong Su said.
"I'm not nervous."
Zhong Su turned his head and glanced at him, "I'm talking to myself."
Xia Qianchen was shocked, "Can you do it, aren't you a frequent visitor to Kunlun Tianlu?"
Zhong Su: "It's been a year since then."
"Uh..." Xia Qian hesitated to speak, "All right."
SS9, the final section of the ring tower.
starting line.
"Subaru Impreza, four-wheel drive 2.5T racing driver Xia Qianshen. The intercom test shows that the speed is normal and the tire pressure is normal. The self-inspection is complete and ready. Please give orders to the pilot."
"Subaru Impreza, four-wheel drive 2.5T navigator Zhong Su, the communicator is normal, the surface temperature is 33, the humidity is 17%, and the visibility is 9 kilometers. It is ready, please race the driver to prepare for the start."
60 seconds later, on Kunlun Mountain, which has appeared in countless novels and movies, they embarked on the Kunlun Tianlu, a corridor of mythology.
The total length of the stage is 400 kilometers. After running this 400 kilometers, the Tournament Rally will be completed.
"Pick up some oil." Zhong Su reminded him, "The brakes haven't reached the optimum working temperature yet."
Xia Qianshen knew that the high-altitude section could not be so fast at the beginning, but the car was tuned almost perfectly, and he wanted to run even more extreme on this road.
However, caution is the first priority, Xia Qianshen still stepped back on the gas pedal.
The Kunlun Mountains are covered with snow all the year round, and the high-altitude low temperature and thin air made Xia Qianshen have the illusion of returning to the northern Sichuan-Tibet line.
This gradually familiar feeling gave Xia Qianchen great strength.
"The first 300 meters left 3 uphill." Zhong Su reported the road, "Steep slope, full oil, go up recklessly."
Racing drivers like to listen to this kind of command.
As if the Impreza had sensed the driver's energy, the steep slope was full of power, and it seemed to be excited about its first ride on the Kunlun Sky Road.
"There is water in the bend." Zhong Su reminded him.
Xia Qianchen pulled up the handbrake almost at the same time as his words fell, and the body turned sideways in a graceful posture. The puddle of water was just under the chassis, and the four wheels did not even touch the water at the edge.
The surface of the stagnant water was only rippled by the wind blowing over the chassis of the car. Although he knew how powerful Xia Qianchen's car control was, Zhong Su couldn't help blurting out when he looked in the rearview mirror, "You have something. of."
"You think." Xia Qian smiled deeply.
There is a 400-kilometer stage, and the end of the 400-kilometer is the end of the Tournament Rally.
At the same time, the two people in the racing car pressed down with the cloud, and the atmosphere in the cab gradually became tense.
Xia Qianshen began to wipe the wipers dry, because more and more things fell on the front windshield.Leaves, grass, and snow, while complaining about the wind, they lamented that the wind was strong enough.
"Fortunately, the wind is strong enough, otherwise it will all be covered with glass." Xia Qianchen said, "How far is it?"
Zhong Su and Xia Qianshen are exactly the opposite, Zhong Su has a very precise concept of time and distance, "three quarters left."
"I always feel like I have set off for an hour." Xia Qianchen said.
Zhong Su smiled, "In less than three to 10 minutes, the wind is too strong on a special road section after 2 kilometers, and there may be a place behind to guide you by predicting."
"no problem."
Xia Qianchen trusted him enough, even if there was a cliff in front of him, as long as Zhong Su said that the gas pedal was welded dead, he would still step on the oil on the floor.
In fact, "changing" is like a download progress bar, staring at it, it doesn't move, go away and do something else and come back, it's over.
People always discover their own changes suddenly when they regain their senses, but in fact, the change does not happen instantly, it is only discovered at that moment.
"The 100-meter flying slope is connected to the right 3, and it is very urgent." Zhong Su said, "Go slowly, the vision is not good."
Xia Qianchen stepped back to collect oil, the vision was really bad, the wind was too strong, and there were small gravels rushing from time to time, and the gravel hit the windshield, splitting into a spider web in an instant.
"Fortunately, it was on my side." Xia Qianchen said, "The blind man rides the blind horse, now it's up to you, Zhong Su."
"Front left 4, listen to my countdown." Zhong Su immediately switched the command method. He knew that Xia Qianchen had no concept of driving distance, so he changed the command method from how many kilometers to countdown.
However, Kunlun Tianlu does not seem to welcome foreigners today.
The wind howled in Kunlun Mountains. Unfortunately, the windshield on Zhong Su's side was also smashed by gravel, and the wind swept the snow from the nearby mountains.The cold gray clouds blocked the sun, Zhong Su was in a trance, trying to find the referee who was waving the red flag by the roadside.
Red flag semaphore: The game is aborted.
However, no one waved the flag for more than three minutes, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. The excellent downforce of the Impreza made its four-wheel grip very stable. Even in such a raging wind, the Impreza was still moving forward steadily. .
Keep going.
Even Xia Qianshen, who won the championship in the "Only Birds Can Pass" stage on the Sichuan-Tibet Northern Line, began to panic inexplicably at this time.
"Isn't this considered extremely bad weather?" Xia Qianchen asked, "Why is no one waving the flag? Is the head of the competition already like this?"
Zhong Su also wanted to know.Because the front windshield of their racing car was smashed by at least three broken stones, the navigator of his level began to struggle, what about the others?What about the car in front?Why did it suddenly seem like only the two of them were left on the entire Kunlun Sky Road?
"Accordingly, it should be suspended." Zhong Su said, "Slow down a little, and the first 100 meters will be straight to the left."
Suddenly, snowflakes were mixed into the blast.
Zhong Su immediately comforted him, "Kunlun Liu Yuexue is normal, don't panic."
"Don't panic, I just can't see anything." Xia Qianchen said.
Why not wave the flag, why not suspend the game, isn't this weather situation enough?
Zhong Su forced himself to calm down, and focused his attention on the almost completely cracked front windshield, "Okay, stop the fuel, the first 90 meters to the right 3, you want to..."
Before the words fell, the car rolled down the cliff.
Xia Qianchen can't be blamed, and Zhong Su also knows that it's not Xia Qianchen's fault.
Right 3 is a relatively sharp bend, with chaotic rocks on the left and cliffs on the right.
The vision was too poor, it was full of snow, the Impreza's right front wheel was slipping under the snow, Xia Qianchen was already the fastest to react, Zhong Su could see it from his own perspective.
The right front wheel lost its grip after pressing the snow, and the right rear wheel flicked due to the loss of control of the front wheel, and the entire wheel was suspended in the air. Another stone was blown, and the front block was completely broken.
Although the windshield was fixed in the middle by the explosion-proof film, no glass fell, but the two people in the car completely lost their forward vision.
A moment before the car overturned, Xia Qianchen turned his head, looked at him, and said to him through the intercom: "You forgot to wish us back alive."
The mountain wind is like an elegy for the soul.
The racing car rolled down the mountain, and the sound of metal hitting the rock wall of the mountain was completely swallowed by the strong wind.
If the angle of view is now wide enough to overlook the entire Kunlun Mountains, it is even difficult to see the racing car rolling over the cliff in the picture.
Humans are small, and so are racing cars.For the Kunlun Mountains, they are nothing more than a speck of dust, and any slight wind movement can sweep this speck of dust into the abyss without even hearing the echo.
The racing car is equipped with a roll cage, six-point seat belts, and carbon fiber helmets, but expensive equipment cannot guarantee that a car will be safe after rolling down a mountain at an altitude of more than 3000 meters.
Xia Qianshen stepped back and pulled the handbrake the moment the car rolled over, holding the handbrake lever tightly with his right hand.
Zhong Su, who also received a huge impact, went to hold Xia Qianchen's hand on the handbrake lever when the car kept rolling and his vision was spinning.
I don't know how long it took, the frame of the racing car was deformed, the roll cage protruded outside the frame, and the Impreza finally stopped.
"Qianchen..." Zhong Su called him, but there was no reply.
The whole car was standing sideways, Zhong Su was on the ground, the roll cage was protecting him, and Xia Qianchen was above him at this time.He called "Qianchen" and "Xia Qianchen" twice more, and he lost consciousness.
Zhong Su found that the roll cage on Xia Qianchen's side had been knocked inward and deformed. It was very likely that during the rollover, Xia Qianchen's head hit the roll cage.
He frantically unbuckled his seat belt. He must have suffered a lot of blunt injuries, because there were sharp pains when he moved.
Zhong Su had no time to think about it, he crawled towards Xia Qianchen like crazy, bearing the severe pain that could make people faint at any time——
Because he saw a huge boulder on the cliff above through the driver's window. The boulder was stuck by a branch that was about to break, and it was about to fall down.
He unfastened the six-point seat belt on Xia Qianchen's body. Without the restraint of the seat belt, Xia Qianchen fell down with gravity. He dragged the small passenger seat, and when the boulder fell down, he covered Xia Qianchen himself.
Zhong Su only remembered the time when he lost consciousness, but he didn't hear the sound of the stone hitting the frame.
All he heard was the wind, the infinite wind.
There is also a voice in my heart, calling, Xia Qianchen.
