Hello 1983

  Chapter 778 kicked on the iron plate

  The big tractor dragged the plowshares, chug-chug, and moved forward on the wasteland.

  Pieces of newly plowed land were plowed into neat ridges, extending far away.

   This crawler tractor was purchased from the Great Plains of Eastern Europe and produced in the Soviet Union. It is the kind of big guy that can go to the battlefield when needed.

  Behind several tractors were people carrying soil baskets, including dark-skinned locals, among whom were dozens of yellow-skinned people, and even white people like Maria and the others.

  Liu Qingshan led the singers under the big tree. Of course, they would not wander around all day long, but directly participated in labor and did farm work with the local people.

  What they do is the simplest job, which is to clean up the shrubs and roots turned up by the tractor, put them into soil baskets, transport them to the field, and use them as firewood after drying.

  The local people are not very proficient in farming. Originally, they were mainly engaged in animal husbandry, mainly herding sheep and camels.

  However, with the production of a large amount of corn and potatoes, they were finally no longer hungry, and these old blacks finally understood: If you want not to starve, you need to grow a lot of land.

  So when they work, they are still diligent.

   It’s just that it’s not very in tune. Just as a canopy of shrubs was placed in the soil basket, the two little blacks carried it to the edge of the ground for a walk.

   As a result, they were called back by the Chinese militia in charge of technical guidance, and communicated with them in local language: "It must be full before leaving."

  Most of the militiamen have been here for several years, and it is no problem to have simple exchanges with the locals.

   "Just like you, typical foreign workers, if you used to work in the production team, your work points would be deducted every day!" The technician also scolded angrily.

   This gang of big bosses are far worse than the hardworking Chinese people in terms of work. Even those singers who haven't worked much are better than them.

   "Ouch!" Amao yelled, and his fingers were pricked by the sharp thorns of the bushes.

  Many of the shrubs growing here are thorny. Although the camels are fine to eat, if a human hand is pricked, it will still be very painful.

  Liu Qingshan was right next to him, and he leaned over to have a look, only to see that the index finger of the glove had already been soaked in bright red.

   "Don't take off your gloves yet."

  Liu Qingshan stretched out his hand and pulled out a hard thorn, and then asked Ah Mao to take off his gloves, a small drop of blood was emerging from the belly of his finger.

   "It's okay." Amao flicked his fingers, and then wiped his big forehead with his sleeve. The sun here is very bright, and everyone is already sweating.

  After working for half the morning, everyone has fully realized the hardships of labor. They are hot and tired, and the whole person is sunburned.

   Soon a hygienist came up, skillfully picked up a piece of cotton wool from the jar, wiped Ah Mao's fingers, and then sprinkled some Chinese specialty Yun~nanbaiyao, which quickly stopped the bleeding.

  Amao gritted his teeth and continued to bend down to clean up those bushes.

  Most of the natives around were barefoot, and it was common for them to be stabbed or something.

  Compared with these people, what is her little injury?

   "Drink water!" There was a yell from the ground, it was a water delivery vehicle, pulling buckets.

   Everyone stopped what they were doing, ran over, picked up the enamel jar hanging around the bucket, took a full jar of water, and poured it into their stomachs.

  The cool feeling, along the throat, has been refreshing to the stomach, it is so pleasant.

  Many people let out a sigh of comfort, and then smacked their lips, full of aftertaste.

   "Here, take a few pills for everyone to avoid heat stroke." Liu Qingshan washed his hands, and together with the hygienist, distributed the human pills to everyone, including those aboriginals, everyone got a share.

  But most of the aborigines are reluctant to eat, but put it in their pockets.

   "Boss, just throw it in my mouth, ahhh."

  The little stool opened its mouth, waiting for Liu Qingshan to feed her. The main reason was that everyone's hands were dirty and they didn't send and receive.

   As a result, other people also followed suit and enjoyed the service of the boss once.

  You guys... Liu Qingshan didn't think it was a bit funny, so he took it as an adjustment after work.

   Throwing pills into everyone's mouths one by one, Liu Qingshan still reminded: "Come on, Dalang, take your medicine."

   Everyone didn’t know about this stalk, but they felt that after the pill was in their mouths, they immediately felt cool, and the whole person regained their vitality.

   "Liu, what about this?"

  Maria stretched out her palm in front of Liu Qingshan, and a few sparkling blisters appeared on it.

  Liu Qingshan also felt a little distressed: These girls were originally not touching their fingers.

   "Prick it with a needle and it will be fine." Liu Qingshan called the hygienist, but Maria had to ask him to help pick the blisters.

   Helpless, Liu Qingshan pricked it lightly with a needle, then squeezed out the accumulated fluid inside, and then sprinkled some medicinal powder, and the treatment was completed.

   Throughout the whole process, Maria looked at him with a smile, looking very useful.

   After she was done, she moved her fingers: "I want to write a song to commemorate the blisters on my hands."

  Maria seems to be a singer-songwriter. As long as the inspiration comes, she can write songs.

   After a day's work, everyone has their own harvest. Ka Kui created a song called Dadi.

  Although other singers are not as good as Ka Kui, they have been tempered physically and mentally. In the future, their ability to resist pressure will definitely become stronger and stronger.

  After a day of work, I ate well and slept soundly, so I worked here for half a month.

  During the period, I also had some fellowship activities with the local aborigines. The aboriginals are especially good at dancing.

  Days passed, everyone got tanned, their bodies became stronger, and their food intake increased.

  The most important thing is that in labor, everyone has learned to be persistent and strong. Compared with external changes, their thoughts and will quality are also quietly undergoing transformation.

   Liu Qingshan was also very satisfied with this: If it were not for the fact that educated youths went to the mountains and went to the countryside, it would still have a training effect.

  This evening, when I came back from work, I felt that the whole tribe was filled with an unusual atmosphere.

  Liu Qingshan found out after asking that the power plant was completed a few days ago. After a few days of trial operation, it has stabilized and can supply power.

  For the natives, it is the first time they have seen lighting, so it is no wonder they are so excited.

  The power grid has not yet been installed in each house, so people gathered in the largest open space in the tribe. At the four corners of the open space, there are four telephone poles, each carrying a mercury lamp.

   At least tens of thousands of people gathered here. For the local aborigines, this was the most memorable experience in their lives.

  Because no one does not yearn for the light.

  When the night fell, everyone was waiting quietly. Even the naughty children stopped running and playing, and turned their heads up, staring at the mercury lamp closest to them.

   There are also many staff members who popularize some common sense of electricity use among the crowd, so as to avoid unnecessary safety accidents.

  If anyone’s house lacks iron wires and climbs to the pole to cut the wires, it will be broken.

   Or if a child is curious and stretches out his finger to try what electricity is, wouldn’t that be a tragedy?

  Hiss hiss, the loudspeaker hanging on the telegraph pole suddenly rang out, startling the people below.

   Immediately, a loud voice came from the loudspeaker: "Everyone, please pay attention, everyone, please pay attention!"

   As a result, more than half of the people at the scene were lying on the ground. They couldn't understand where such a loud voice came from.

   "Please pay attention, power on, power on!"

  Inside the loudspeaker was Wang Gong's excited voice. In an instant, the mercury lamps at the four corners of the square suddenly lit up, illuminating the whole square like daytime.

  People froze for a moment, then all got up from the ground and began to cheer and jump.

  The bright lights reflected joyful faces, many of them had tears streaming down their faces, and of course laughter.

  The dark night is about to pass, and the light will eventually come!

  The children started running wildly in the crowd, making all kinds of strange noises, expressing their joy to their heart's content.

   Inside the loudspeaker, music with local characteristics suddenly sounded, such as the crisp percussion of tambourines, and the ancient local oud playing cheerful tunes.

  Oud is an ancient musical instrument that has been handed down in this area. It is the predecessor of lute and guitar, and it is also the favorite musical instrument of the local people.

  Accompanied by the rhythmic drums and the melody of the oud, people began to shake their bodies and dance spontaneously.

  The carnival of tens of thousands of people began.

  The singers under the big tree were also infected by this atmosphere, shouting, singing and dancing together.

   I don’t know who took the lead, the people at the scene started to shout, and finally gathered into a unified voice:

   "Dragon, Dragon, Dragon!"

   An extremely strong sense of pride wells up in the hearts of every Chinese.

  At this moment, Xiao Wu gently wiped away the tears of excitement from his eyes.

  At this moment, the singers' eyes also glistened with crystal tears.

  At this moment, Liu Qingshan's heart was full of pride, and then he felt his body was tightly hugged, writhing and dancing together.

  It was Maria, this girl was like a passionate flame, tightly wrapped around Liu Qingshan, as if she wanted to melt the mountain.

  Holded and turned by Maria, she reached the edge of the square without knowing it, and then Maria took Liu Qingshan's hand and ran to the distance.

  Others yearn for light, but she is willing to chase darkness at this moment.

  Liu Qingshan quickly understood the girl's intentions, of course he had the ability to stop it, but he couldn't bear it again.

  At this moment, his heart also began to struggle and hesitate.

   There was a bang.

  Liu Qingshan turned his head and looked towards the sky. There were no colorful fireworks, but only a red signal flare piercing the night sky.

   "Maria, wait, something is wrong!"

  Liu Qingshan pulled Maria violently, with a little force, and directly pulled Maria into his arms.

   "Don't worry about anything, now we only belong to each other."

  Maria is already a little distracted. At this moment, she just wants to completely melt each other with the person she loves in this scene of heaven and earth.

   "It may be an enemy attack, let's go back immediately!" Liu Qingshan directly picked up Maria and ran along the way.

   There are singers under the big tree, he brought them out, and he must be responsible for their safety.

   These days, Xiao Wu is in charge of security matters. Liu Qingshan has absolute trust in Xiao Wu, and believes that he will make arrangements.

   "Don't mess around, just lie on the spot and don't run!"

   Inside the loudspeaker, there was a roar, repeated in local dialect and Chinese repeatedly.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel refreshed, because he heard that this time it was not Wang Gong's voice, but Zhang Long's voice.

  In the past few days, he hadn't seen Zhang Long's figure, but his sudden appearance at this time was obviously well prepared.

  With a firm mind, Liu Qingshan can no longer run back in a hurry, otherwise he might become a target.

  So he quickly found a mound as a cover, and he also lay behind.

   It's just that the situation is not good, because there is a fiery body under him.

   Battles are imminent.

   "Attack!"

  On the outskirts of the tribe, there is a team of nearly a thousand people preparing to attack aggressively.

   On an open jeep, stood a middle-aged man. He was the commander-in-chief of this operation, Egal, and he belonged to the Tur tribe in the north.

  In the past two years, the political situation has been unstable, and the north has always wanted to fight for independence.

   And at this critical period, a new force suddenly gathered in the north, that is, the foreign force called "Dragon" by the locals.

   And in just a few years, it has become very popular and has become a "big fat" in the eyes of many people.

   Abdurrahman, the leader of the Tur tribe, finally couldn't hold back his greed, and began to attack the Longteng garrison.

  In the first battle of the attack, they chose Long Teng's allies, that is, the tribe of Evera.

  After careful investigation, they determined the attack time now, and the opponent was having a carnival, so they must have been unprepared.

  The most important thing is that after taking over the tribe, they have to get a complete power station.

  With water and electricity, there is a foundation for development.

  Egal was in high spirits at the moment. His troops were not the stragglers of other tribes who dared to go to the battlefield with javelins and bows and arrows.

   This team is well-trained, and everyone has guns in their hands. In this country, they are already regarded as elite divisions.

   "Attack!" Egal swung his arm vigorously, with such momentum that he could cut off all enemies blocking the way.

  The soldiers under him also rushed forward with neat steps.

  The tribe in front is getting closer and closer, and the soldiers also know that this is a very lucrative tribe. After taking it, they can make a small fortune, so they worked extra hard tonight.

  The main force led by Egal was already approaching the entrance of the village. Suddenly, in the darkness ahead, several glaring beams of light suddenly lit up and shot at them.

  The soldiers in front subconsciously raised their arms to cover their eyes.

  Then the soldiers realized that right in front of them, there were several steel monsters lying horizontally, with black muzzles pointing at them.

   "Tank!"

  Many soldiers quickly crawled to the ground, while the other part turned around and ran away.

  They don't have the courage to hold back their flesh and blood to stop the torrent of steel.

   "Put down your weapons and raise your hands to surrender!" A thunderous voice came from the loudspeaker in front of them, making these soldiers tremble with fear.

  It was only then that they realized that they had completely kicked on the iron plate today, and it was still armor plate.
