Chapter Seventy-Three: Waiting to be pitted
There are some words that Zhang Jinhu doesn't like to mention, just like the section where he almost starved to death in the deep mountains and old forests of Mengshan, mentioning it is blood and tears step by step.
When he fled, it was winter, and there was snow all over the mountains, and everyone who walked through the snow knew that no matter what shoes you were wearing, it wouldn't take you an hour in the snow to get your shoes wet, and if you got your shoes wet in winter, or in the mountains, how uncomfortable it was?
Zhang Jinhu walked for a full day and a night in this situation, regardless of the fact that he did not dare to turn back, and moved forward desperately. But it's cold in winter, and it's even colder at night in the mountains in winter, and the breeze is blowing, and it doesn't take long for Zhang Jinhu to feel that the clothes on his body are blowing through, and after a while, he is even more cold and shivering, which is still under the condition that he keeps walking.
When Zhang Jinhu finally survived the first 24 hours and ushered in the second day of sunshine, what he was most afraid of was not hunger and cold, he was afraid that he would get sick.
Alas, the world is so wonderful, what are you afraid of, so you found a tree hole to get into, Zhang Jinhu, who wanted to sleep by the noon sun, woke up in the evening and felt hot and dry throat, from the hair to the heels, there was no place that did not hurt, opened his eyes, dizzy and dizzy felt like stepping in cotton, and he didn't walk a few steps out of the tree hole, and he fell headlong.
At that time, Zhang Jinhu thought he was dead.
Zhang Jinhu asked Chen Da: "Do you know what I was thinking at that time?"
Chen Da shook his head, he had never died, how could he know his last wish.
"I just want a bed. ”
At that moment, this simple desire stimulated Lao Chen, it turned out that people before death did not think about what was described in film and television dramas, what kind of family affection, love, righteousness and the like, people at that time would only rely on instinct to make themselves comfortable, even if it was only a little comfortable.
However, Zhang Jinhu didn't die, he let people save him.
When he woke up again, Zhang Jinhu was still in the deep mountains and old forests, but this time he was not lying in the snow, but in the wooden house, and there was a fire next to the wooden house, and a piece of pork was roasting on top of the fire bonfire.
Zhang Jinhu didn't know where he got the strength, so he jumped up directly on the ground, hit the barbecue grill supported by wooden sticks, took off the half-cooked pork and gnawed it with his mouth, and his hands were hot and blistered and he didn't feel it. It was only in the process of nibbling that he saw two men sitting next to the fire, one in his forties, and the other in his early twenties.
Holding the piece of meat, Zhang Jinhu retreated to the corner like a beast, shrunk his body and stared at the two people in front of him, for fear that someone would rob him.
When the first bite of meat with temperature was swallowed by him, he felt that he was alive, and the next swallowing process was completely negligible, and when Zhang Jinhu didn't eat this piece of pork, he had already eaten most of it, interesting Yes, the two people sitting by the fire didn't move.
"Brother, did you just come over from the country?"
Among the two guys who are also Chinese, the older one asked after Zhang Jinhu had eaten most of the pork.
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Jinhu didn't have the kung fu to answer, he just wanted to eat quickly.
"Got into trouble?"
Three words were spoken, Zhang Jinhu suddenly raised his head vigilantly, and the older Chinese immediately smiled when he saw his state, and said without anything: "Don't get me wrong, we are not police." ”
"This Mengshan, there are people dying in it every year, some of them are donkey friends who have been attacked by wild beasts, this kind of person you can see from the equipment on his body, he must be wearing down jackets, jackets, carrying hiking bags and the like. You don't have anything on you, you broke a pair of feet and crossed the border, our two of us also guessed, nothing else, after all, this snow is shaving, except for you and our father, there is no one to talk to, don't mind. ”
Got your feet rotten?
After listening to their words, Zhang Jinhu looked down, the shoes on his feet were gone, his feet were red and swollen, and the heaviness of stepping on the wooden planks in the room was like an extra circle of flesh, and there were frostbittens that had not completely rotted.
Hurt.
The stinging sensation of frostbite appeared, and Zhang Jinhu only felt a nervous jump under his feet, a pinprick pain, and the pain went straight to his heart, and he couldn't squat. Poof, he sat there and gritted his teeth, in the process of enduring it, the feet began to itch under the stinging pain, Zhang Jinhu didn't hold back, scratched a handful, and before the refreshment came up, it was as if he had touched a wound in the process of scratching, bringing boundless pain. Well, these feet are itchy and painful, painful and itchy, and it is not a taste that people can bear at all.
"Don't scratch. ”
The older middle-aged child, who was in his early forties, took out a tube of ointment from his backpack and threw it without approaching: "Wipe this." ”
Zhang Jinhu couldn't believe his gaze, he explained: "We work in the ice and snow in Russia all year round, and it is inevitable to encounter frostbite, which is a special medicine and is effective." ”
Zhang Jinhu picked up the ointment and wiped it on his feet, this does not mean that he believes in the middle-aged man, but he has been a big brother in Liangcheng all the year round, and he has already raised these feet, how can he still feel this way. After the ointment was applied, there was a coolness on the surface of the feet, which suppressed the itching, and the pain was relieved by the hand.
"Comfortable, aren't you?"
After the middle-aged man said this, he slowly got up and said: "Don't think too much, save you, just because you are Chinese, there is no other meaning." We have other things to do, we have to go into the mountains, and if you don't have a place to go these days, you can keep them in this wooden house. We've got some food here, and it won't break in the snow anyway, so you can eat it yourself when you're hungry. ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man picked up his bag and left, and the man in his early twenties also followed, Zhang Jinhu saw the night and goose feather snow outside through the open door, and felt the north wind howling into the house at the moment the door opened.
He couldn't figure out what these two people were doing, in China, he had never seen the kind of work drilled into the deep mountains and old forests at night, and slightly recalled the clothes of these two masters, the animal skin coats on their bodies dressed them both like bears, which was obviously to resist the cold, that is, these two people are likely to stay in the mountains for a period of time, is it a forest ranger? It doesn't make sense, the Chinese don't protect their own forests at home, why do they go outside to protect people's forests?
Whatever, the two of them have already said that they have crossed the border......
Zhang Jinhu was tired, and he couldn't open his eyes at all, and after greedily nibbling two mouthfuls of half-cooked pork, he fell asleep, not knowing when he would open his eyes after this sleep.
When Chen Da heard this, he didn't ask, 'You just believe them so simply?' or something like that, he understood that Zhang Jinhu's every move after leaving the border was forced to be helpless, not to mention the two men who met him, even if he was a Russian who didn't know him, he had to sleep in that wooden house, which was a physiological need. Chen Da asked, "When did the two of them come back?"
This question is very interesting, Lao Chen asked not 'what happened later' nor 'when did you leave the wooden house', for Zhang Jinhu at that time, not to mention the wooden house that people let people live in at that time, even if the dove occupies the magpie's nest, he will not leave.
"Three days. Zhang Jinhu added: "Before the feet are good, the two of them will come back." ”
"At that time, I really couldn't understand why these two people were so good to me, and they kept saying, 'Both are Chinese,' and said, 'Where can you go if you have a foot injury?' If you have relatives in Russia, I will borrow your phone, and you let them pick you up, right?', calling? I know that I have escaped from China, who can I call?"
Zhang Jinhu was laughing, and his laughter changed to 'quack' and laugh.
"You went with them?" asked Liu Yun.
Chen Da replied for Zhang Jinhu: "He really has nowhere to go." ”
They went to the nearest city on the Sino-Russian border, where the couple opened a Chinese restaurant, but Zhang Jinhu didn't think that the restaurant would do well.
A day later, there was an extra woman in the restaurant, Zhang Jinhu didn't know where this woman came from, and just came back and quarreled with the middle-aged man, the two saw that there were outsiders present and exchanging Russian, although he couldn't understand it, but he still understood a little, the woman should be scolding the street, and the middle-aged man was explaining frequently. Zhang Jinhu also found that one of the woman's fingers was missing, and blood could still be seen on the gauze wrapped in her hand, like a new injury.
An even more interesting thing happened the day after Zhang Jinhu arrived in the city, the family of three was very enthusiastic about Zhang Jinhu, not to mention food and housing, and asked a child in his early twenties to take him out for a walk, and slowly, he also became familiar with the family.
The man in his early forties is called Wu Chengde, a native of Hebei, who is good at drinking, and after drinking, he bragged endlessly, saying that he started a business in China, and said that he had sat at a table and drank wine with a certain bigwig who was now at the peak of business, if he hadn't been washed away by the torrent of the changing times, he would not have been able to come to Russia, where he was not familiar with his life; a boy in his early twenties was called Wuyi, he went to school in Russia and learned photography, that thing was too expensive, and the equipment like a little bit had to be at the level of one million rubles, but such equipment, martial arts had a room, just like the figurines or AJ shoes in the flat-headed people's houses; the woman's name was Qin Yan, they were a family, Wu Chengde's daughter-in-law,It's fun.,It's estimated that it's the same thing in my hometown.,When I go to Russia, I also find someone to play cards every day.,And I specialize in playing Russian poker DURAK.,Win or lose a lot.。
A restaurant that no one frequents has a father who has nothing to think about starting a business and fails at every turn, the son of a photography enthusiast and a money-making mother, Zhang Jinhu is more and more interesting the more he looks at it.
"Interesting?" Liu Yun really didn't understand at all, and asked, "You're not afraid of this family, are you cheating?"
Chen Da responded: "He is just waiting to be pitted." ”
"What do you mean?"
Chen Da continued: "Zhang Jinhu plans to exchange his life for his foundation in Russia. ”
