Chapter 19 forbidden zone (on)
Swallow said that I and fat man is a shit shell man playing cold war – stink of ser, this just settled not two days, and want to go out of the moth to the grassland of the left flag of Kelun to play. How can we decide to go, after receiving the letter simply can not sit down, and pick up the day is not as good as the day, just in the morning of the turn of the day, the forest that the lower reaches of the Chahagan River, there is the last trip to the mountains to send timber outside the train, want to go out of the mountains only to catch this train.
Because it is to go out to play, not to do serious business, so not good enough to ask the secretary for leave in person, entrusted this matter to Yanzi to do, the price is the promise to come back from the grasslands, bring her a lot of delicious food she has never eaten, fat man and I have nothing to pack, because there is nothing, completely a proletariat plus the status quo of a bachelor, buttoned up with a dog skin hat, and then put on a broken military schoolbag! I ran out of Tuen Mun, and walked all night in the mountains before arriving at the small train station specializing in transporting wood in the early morning.
To the wood loading work, are the people in Tuen Mun the first night to help do, we arrived when the train has been launched, huffing and puffing white gas, while watching the station old man does not pay attention to, I climbed on the last section of the train with Fatty, quietly lying in the pile of bundles of logs, quietly waiting for the departure of the train.
According to the regulations of this small train only to the mountains outside the big station to transport wood, does not allow anyone to steal a ride, if the drive before the old man watching the station found, we two even if we say big day to, but also be chucked down, and may also be deducted to take advantage of the public cheap hat meeting to do a review, so this is actually a risk is not small, I had to lurk with the fat man with two secret agents like, lest they be found.
Although we are careful, but still exposed the target, two days ago in the mountains set of yellow skin, I started a little runny nose, Tuen Mun barefoot doctor nicknamed “mixing piece”, is a more “two” of the countryside, people and livestock can be treated, he gave me a little herbal medicine. He gave me some herbal medicine, drank and did not see good, but at this time can not bear to sneeze, I hurriedly covered my mouth with my hand, but still by the old man watching the station found.
The old man heard the movement, a look at someone secretly climbed to the car, which is not bad, immediately blowing his beard and eyes a small run rushed over, want to pull me and Fatty down from the small train, but at this time, with a shake, the train rumbled started, the front gradually accelerated from slow to fast, the trees on both sides of the railway have to retreat, the old man who saw the station no longer can not catch up with us, I and Fatty immediately stopped! Care to be found by him what will happen, cheeky and smiling at the same time to take off the dog skin hat, very elegant to the old man to wave his hat to say goodbye to the action, shouting: “Farewell, Stuart Leiden …….”
We took this small train, running speed is impossible to compare with the regular train, and shaking and bumping very violent, in the car only feel rootless feet, ear side of the wind, was tossed to the seven meat and eight, have no time to appreciate the ancient trees along the way of the primitive forest scenery, wrapped up tight coat and hat, shrinking in the wood under the back of the wind, even if it is so, it is better to go out of the mountain road, and that is too far away from the mountain. The journey is really too far away.
All the way around, around a lot of curves, in this table, alone I and fat two non-stop day, finally stepped on the grassland of Keren left flag, if the map of China as a rooster shape, this prairie is just in the back of the neck of the rooster, is a part of Hulunbeier prairie, is part of the Hulunbeier League jurisdiction, and Xing’an League close to the region is vast, the forest area, pastoral areas, reclaimed agricultural areas are there.
Kelun left flag is separated by several ancient riverbed left dry river, transportation is inconvenient, sparsely populated, first to the periphery of the reclamation area of the youth point inquired about the location of the pasture Ding Si sweet settled, and then took a ride down the road “Lele car” into the grasslands, “Lele car” is a unique means of transportation on the grasslands. is a unique means of transportation on the steppe, birch, elm and other miscellaneous wood made wheels are very large, more than one meter in diameter, driving the car herdsmen yell “Lelelelelele ……” to drive the livestock.
This is our first time to the Mongolian steppe to, in the presence of only found with the imaginary gap is very large, the so-called grassland, are sparsely rooted in the sand dunes, the distribution is very uneven, the grass is all a tuft of a tuft of autumn grass is long, almost every tuft are knee-deep, although close to look at these grasses are sparse and long, can long-distance view, boundless grassland is turned into the yellow-green oceans, endless and continuous.
Our ears listening to the Mongolian herdsman’s cool song, sitting on the car body, with the body bumps up and down, the grassland in the fall of the cold and bitter, floating weeds, cold wind in the face, the air geese, wailing away, according to the local herdsman said a few days ago, the grassland also began to snow, but the snow did not come down, it is estimated that this year’s winter will be early, and the mountains, as well as the same to start in advance, to do the preparations for coping with the winter drought.
Fatty has never been to the Northeast, think the mountains and grasslands are so early snow is incredible, muttered wonder why the climate will be abnormal? Winter comes early, probably means that spring is not far away. I said to Fatty: “The ancients said that the snow flies in October in Hu Di, Hu Di refers to the territory of the Hu people outside the plug, I think we are considered to be in Hu Di …….”
We sat on the lehrer car chat a few words this sky high and far away scenery, talking about the topic will be transferred to the soon-to-be-reunited comrade in arms Ding Sisiang, when she tied two twist discernment, wearing a military cap on the train to dance in the word of loyalty and teach travelers to sing the revolutionary songs of the image, once let me and Fatty was amazed by the heavenly beings, think that she looks really too beautiful too talented, then probably already have a bit of consciousness of the first love, but The social atmosphere was there, and at that time, we did not say it directly, and perhaps we did not think of that layer at all, and it was only after a long time, with the passage of years, that we realized that we might have this kind of consciousness.
Now that the reunion is imminent, I feel my heart beating a little faster, can we make the revolutionary friendship between our close comrades go further? Then I will stay on the grassland and not go back to Daxinganling, I then discussed with Fatty, wanting him to help me ask Ding Si-Tian, what exactly is my position in her mind?
Fatty immediately shook his head: “I say old Hu let’s not be so impure, okay? I just wanted to let you help me ask her, my weight in her heart, how you let me go first for you.”
I thought to hurry love you kid also have this thief heart ah, then said to the fat man: “I fucking usually to you how? You feel your conscience, Comrade Lenin said that forgetting the past can mean betrayal ah.”
The fat man took out his expression of two leather face and replied, “You are usually good to me, of course, treating me just like treating my own brother, so I think …… once it comes to the critical moment, you will definitely be the first to think about me, is that so? Isn’t it so?” The two of us argued for half a day, stalemate, and finally had to compromise, decided to ask Ding Si sweet once again for each other separately, to see who has the drama.
