Ghost Blowing Lamp II

Chapter 21 Forbidden Zone (Part [-])
Swallow said that Fatty and I were fighting with dung beetles—the stinky se, who had just settled down for two days, and then thought of the demon moth to play on the grassland of Kelun Left Banner.However, we have made up our minds to go. After receiving the letter, we couldn’t sit still anymore, and picking up the sun is worse than hitting the sun. It happened that the next morning, there was the last trip to deliver wood to the lower reaches of the Chahagan River in the forest farm. Little train, if you want to go out of the mountain, you have to catch this train.

Since I was going out to play, not to do serious business, I didn’t have the nerve to ask for leave in person with the branch secretary. I entrusted this matter to Yanzi, and the price was to promise to bring her a lot of good food that she had never eaten when she came back from the grassland. For food, the fat man and I didn’t have any luggage to pack, because there was nothing at all. It was completely the status quo of a proletarian and a bachelor. He put on a dog fur hat and a broken military schoolbag and ran out of the village. After walking in the mountains all night, I arrived at the small railway station that specializes in transporting timber in the early morning.

The job of loading the wood into the truck was done by the people in the village at night. When we arrived, the train had already started, breathing white gas. When the old man at the station was not paying attention, the fat man and I climbed onto the After getting off the last train, I quietly lay on the stacked and bundled logs, quietly waiting for the departure.

According to regulations, this kind of small train only transports wood to the big station outside the mountain, and no one is allowed to take the train secretly. If the old man watching the station finds out before driving, even if the two of us tell the truth, we will be kicked out , and maybe they will be labeled as taking advantage of the public and have a meeting for review, so this matter is actually quite risky, so the fat man and I had to lurk like two spies, lest we be discovered.

Although we were cautious, we still exposed our target. I started to runny nose when I was wearing a yellow leather jacket in the mountains two days ago. The barefoot doctor in the village was nicknamed "Mixed Film", and he was a relatively "two" country doctor. He prescribed some herbal medicine for me, but I didn’t get better after drinking it. But at this time, I couldn’t bear it anymore and sneezed. I quickly covered my mouth with my hand, but it was still the old man at the station. Found.

Hearing the movement, the old man saw that someone had sneaked into the car, which was okay, and immediately rushed over with beard and staring eyes, trying to grab the fat man and me from the little train, but at this moment, with a burst of Shaking, the train started rumbling, the front of the car gradually accelerated, from slow to fast, the trees on both sides of the railway retreated one after another, seeing that the old man at the station could no longer catch up with us, the fat man and I immediately stopped caring about being discovered by him How is it? He took off his dog fur hat with a smile on his face, waved his hat to say goodbye to the old man gracefully, and shouted: "Farewell, Stuart..."

The speed of the small train we took could not be compared with that of regular trains, and the shaking and bumping was very violent. In the car, I felt rootless under my feet, and the wind was blowing in my ears. Appreciate the primitive forest scenery with towering ancient trees along the way, wrap your coat and hat tightly, and huddle in the lee of the wood. Even so, it is better than walking out of the mountain on the mountain road, that kind of journey is too far away.

I went all the way and took a lot of detours. I will not express it here. Let me just say that the fat man and I finally set foot on the grassland of Karen Left Banner. If you regard the map of China as a map of a rooster The shape of this prairie is right on the back of the rooster. It is part of the Hulunbeier prairie, under the jurisdiction of Humeng, and is close to the Xing'an League. It has a vast area, including forest areas, pastoral areas, and agricultural reclamation areas.

Kelun Zuo Banner was cut off by several dry rivers left over from ancient riverbeds. The transportation was inconvenient and the land was sparsely populated. First, I went to the educated youth spot in the peripheral agricultural reclamation area to inquire about the location of the pasture where Ding Sitian settled down, and then took a car along the way. "Lele cart" enters the grassland. "Lele cart" is a unique means of transportation on the grassland. The wheels made of miscellaneous wood such as birch and elm are very large, with a diameter of more than one meter. The herdsmen who drive the cart yell "Lelelele..." to drive the cattle.

This is the first time we have been to the Mongolian prairie, and we found that it is very different from what we imagined. The so-called grasslands are all sparsely rooted on the sand dunes, and the distribution is very uneven. The grass is all in clusters. Yes, the autumn grass is growing, and almost every cluster is knee-deep. Although the grass looks sparse and long at close range, when viewed from a distance, the boundless grass turns into a yellow-green ocean, endlessly continuous .

We heard the desolate singing of the Mongolian shepherds in our ears. The body sitting on the shaft of the car bumped up and down with the car body. Snow has started to fall on the grasslands for a few days, but the snow hasn't started yet. It is estimated that winter will come early this year. Just like in the mountains, we have to start in advance to prepare for the winter famine.

The fat man had never been to the Northeast, and he thought it was incredible that it snowed so early in the mountains and grasslands, and wondered why the weather was abnormal?The early arrival of winter probably means that spring is not far away.I said to the fat man: "The ancients said that Hudi will snow in October. Hudi refers to the territory of Hu people outside the Great Wall. I think we have entered Hudi..."

We sat in the Lele car and chatted a few words about the scenery of the sky and the mountains. As we talked, the topic shifted to the comrade-in-arms Ding Sitian who was about to reunite. Back then, she wore two twisted bras and a military cap on the train. The image of dancing the Zhongzi dance and teaching the passengers to sing revolutionary songs once shocked me and Fatty. I thought she was so beautiful and talented. At that time, I probably already had a sense of first love. However, the social atmosphere was there, and I didn't say it directly at the time, and maybe I didn't think about that level at all. After a long time, as the years passed, I realized that I might have this kind of consciousness.

Now that the reunion is imminent, I feel that my heartbeat is a little faster. Can the revolutionary friendship between our close comrades-in-arms go further?Then I will stay on the grassland and not go back to Daxing'an Mountains. I immediately discussed with Fatty, asking him to help me ask Ding Sitian, what is my position in her heart?
The fat man immediately shook his head: "I said, old Hu, can we stop being so impure? I just wanted you to help me ask her how important I am in her heart. Why did you let me go for you first?"

I thought to myself that you also have such evil intentions, so I said to the fat man: "How the hell do I treat you? Tell your conscience, Comrade Lenin said that forgetting the past means betrayal."

The fat man took out his naughty face and replied: "Of course you treat me well, you treat me like a brother, so I think... once the critical moment comes, you will definitely take my place first." For the sake of thinking, is this the case? Isn’t it the case?” The two of us argued for a long time, but we couldn’t reach a stalemate, and finally we had to compromise, and decided to ask Ding Sitian for each other to see who had the upper hand.
