Chapter 1260: Veteran
According to them, the mountain road is not too long, but the most difficult thing is that there is a moat in the middle, with mountains on both sides, and a river about 50 meters wide in the middle, and there is no bridge between the two mountains, only two steel cables, and anyone who enters the mountain, except for helicopters, can only enter and exit through these two steel cables.
Although Li Mu had been prepared, but after following these people into the mountain, he knew the hardships here, the mountain road has not been systematically repaired, and the slightly smoother places are almost completely based on the hard soil stepped on by the feet, and the steeper places can see some traces of manual repair, but only the nests of some feet are deepened and flattened, so as not to slip on the soles of people's feet when climbing.
According to the guide, don't look at the villagers in the mountains are relying on this road to get in and out of the mountain, even they are not sure of absolute safety, every year there are people injured on this road, light is injured, serious is fractured, for the mountain people, if you fall on this road, basically in the first half of the year can not get out of the mountain.
This kind of difficult mountain road, Li Mu is the first time in his life, to tell the truth, he is a big man in his early twenties, and it is extremely difficult to walk such a mountain road, it is hard to imagine how the old people here can get out of the mountain.
Fortunately, there are these soldiers who have been tempered for thousands of years, they can also ensure that each person carries a weight of fifteen kilograms on this kind of mountain road, in addition to some equipment, some grain and oil prepared for the old man are also brought by them, whether they can persuade the old man to go down the mountain, Li Mu himself is not sure, these grains and oils are a record, at least let the old man no longer worry about eating.
Li Mu's hometown is on the eastern coast, although it is not an economically developed area, but on the whole it is reasonable, the poverty he used to see with his own eyes is nothing more than snail dwelling, thrift, careful budgeting, at most it is ragged, but when he is in the deep mountains of the southwest, when he is struggling to move forward on the mountain road that is not a road, he realizes what real poverty is.
Real poverty is the kind of reality that makes people fall into despair at a glance.
In this kind of mountain where even a bicycle can't get out, Li Mu substituted himself into it, and all he could think of was despair, or despair.
To Li Mu's surprise, Liu Xinxin, who was walking with him, didn't look so difficult, her movements were extraordinarily neat, and sometimes she was much more dexterous than herself.
At first, Li Mu was surprised, but soon thought of one thing and was relieved, Liu Xin, this woman is very magical, she has even been to the North and South Poles, and she is also a person who wants to climb Mount Everest, climbing this kind of mountain road should be a piece of cake, compared with her, she is inferior, she really has never participated in that kind of challenging outdoor activities, and she has never had this kind of experience at all.
A group of people climbed in the mountain road for an hour, and finally gradually reached the top, when they came to the top of the mountain, the first thing Li Mu saw was the two ziplines across the two mountains, the zipline is a steel cable thicker than the thumb, fixed on both sides of the mountain, there happened to be a villager holding a lamb is sliding from the opposite mountain a little bit, Li Mu panted while carefully observing, only to find that above the zipline is two pulleys side by side, the pulley is with a fixed rope below, people crossing the river is to tie themselves to the rope, and then drag the steel rope with a little bit of hand, let the pulley move forward。
Before approaching, Li Mu had already heard a huge wave of turbulent sound, such as a hydropower station opening the floodgates, the momentum was extremely huge, under this surging sound, the two people had to shout loudly next to each other, otherwise they couldn't hear it clearly, came to the front, looked down, Li Mu saw the turbulent rolling river, the flow speed is extremely fast, tumbling mud and sand, looking at people in awe.
A volunteer from this province whispered in Li Mu's ear: "Mr. Li, this is the Nu River." ”
Li Mu suddenly realized: "No wonder I always feel that I have seen this kind of formation somewhere, as soon as you say Nujiang, I remembered it, I learned it in the geography class of junior high school." ”
The volunteer smiled and said, " In the eyes of those of us who come from outside the mountain, this is a rare scenery, but in the eyes of the locals, this is the mother river, but also the moat that blocks them from the outside world, such a zipline, the zipline is the town, the zipline is a dozen primitive villages located in the depths of the mountains, the mountaineers in a radius of more than ten kilometers share this zipline in and out of the mountain, but even if they go out of the mountain, they can only go to the town where we just parked, think of the county seat, and have to walk dozens of kilometers to go out, there is no bus here, there are people in the town who ride motorized three-wheeled passengers, and there are also people who drive cattle to carry passengers, and walk through those dozens of kilometers, which is really out of the mountains。 ”
Li Mu nodded lightly, more than a dozen villages use this zipline to enter and exit the mountain, within a radius of more than ten kilometers, that is to say, the farthest village in the mountain, it will take more than ten kilometers to slide through this zipline, and more than ten kilometers in the flat land is nothing, but in such a mountain, I am afraid that it will take at least half a day to get there, right?
In this way, the villagers may not have enough time to go out of the mountain in one day......
Just thinking about it, Liu Xin beckoned to Li Mu at one end of the zipline and said, "Mr. Li, cross the river!"
Li Mu once played zipline in the mountain scenic area around Yanjing, the feeling of hanging the zipline and sliding down the mountainside is particularly cool, to some extent, Li Mu likes that exciting feeling, but today this time Li Mu is full of awe, tied himself up strongly, and then dragged the zipline forward with both hands little by little.
Because the height of the mountains on both sides is similar, so there is basically no drop between the two ziplines, so whether it is into the mountain or out of the mountain, can not slide down, must be dragged with both hands a little bit, Li Mu slid out when he knew how tired this thing was, although there is no height difference in the steel cable on both sides, but the steel cable is not stretched straight, after the person goes up, the position of the steel cable where the person is naturally pulled down, so it is extremely hard to slide up like this, the foot is the rolling Nu River water, the water is turbulent, making people feel a void in the bottom of their hearts.
Li Mu only slipped halfway, his two arms were already extremely sore, and when he finally slid to the opposite side, his arms were already sore and unconscious.
The slender Li Ziwei slipped halfway and hung on the river and cried for ten minutes, and then finally gritted her teeth and slipped over, Li Mu comforted her while sighing in her heart, no matter how much money people in the city make, it is too little, many people complain every day about the pressure of life, hardship and social injustice, but compared with the people who live here, they are already superior I don't know how many times, the young people here, the biggest wish of their lives, I am afraid is to get out of the mountains.
When the group crossed one mountain and stood at the foot of another, the guide pointed to dozens of houses halfway up the mountain, and said, "That's the Baofu village we are going to, and it will take about 20 minutes to go up the mountain from here." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after more than twenty minutes, victory was already in sight.
The guide introduced: "There are now more than 30 families in the village, with a permanent population of more than 100 people, most of whom are old and young women and children, and some middle-aged laborers with silicosis. ”
Mr. Sun's original name was Sun Xiaozhong, filial piety, loyal loyalty, since ancient times, it is said that loyalty and filial piety are not both, I don't know what kind of deep meaning is behind the name of the old man.
……
More than 20 minutes later, the mighty more than 20 people finally came to Baofu Village, this village has been defeated is not good, the whole village is full of thatched houses, not even a brick house, a slightly better family, there are three thatched houses are already very good, some people even only have a small thatched house, from the outside, the internal area can not exceed ten square meters.
Baofu Village almost never has visitors from outside, occasionally people from outside the mountains come, and they are all young people who go out to work, this time there are so many outsiders from outside the village, and more than a dozen soldiers in military uniforms, so that the whole village is shocked, men, women and children have gone out, looking at these uninvited guests with horror on their faces, there is no officially appointed village chief in this village, only one old man in his sixties who is elected by everyone and is the "village chief" The old man saw such a big battle, nervously stepped forward to ask Chen Chengwu, who looked most like the chief, he said it in the local dialect, Chen Chengwu couldn't understand it at all, the guide hurriedly stepped forward to Chen Chengwu at this time and said: "He is the village chief elected by the village, surnamed Tian, everyone calls him Tian Village Chief, he just asked you, the People's Liberation Army came to the mountains to arrest fugitives, he said that 20 years ago, there were dozens of People's Liberation Army, said that they went into the mountains to catch fugitives, and searched in the mountains for three days and three nights. ”
Chen Chengwu hurriedly said to him: "You explain to the old village chief, we are here to see Mr. Sun." ”
The guide nodded, pointed to the direction of the east and said a few words to the head of the village, the head of the village was stunned, and said a few more words to him, the two chatted for a while, only to see the expression of the head of the village becoming more and more surprised, and then it seemed to be in a hurry, and slapped his thigh and shouted a few words.
Chen Chengwu asked the guide, "What did the old village chief say?"
The guide said: "The old village chief said, a few days ago, someone came to see Mr. Sun, and said that he was a big hero who had beaten Japanese devils before, and no one in the village believed it, I just told him that Mr. Sun really beat devils, and he was a member of the Flying Tigers who flew a plane to fight devils in the sky, and the old village chief said that such an important thing why didn't he say it earlier, Old Man Sun has lived alone in the village for half his life, no one knows that he is a big hero, if he had known earlier, he would have been offered up as an ancestor!"
Chen Chengwu sighed and said, "It's not too late to know now, you talk to the old village chief, and say that we have to go to see Mr. Sun first, and then come back to visit him." ”
The guide said a few words to the old village chief, and the old village chief immediately replied with two words, and the guide said that the old village chief wanted to go together, and Chen Chengwu did not object, so he beckoned the guide to take everyone over.
Coming to the small hillside in the east of the village, when Li Mu saw the lonely thatched house, tears almost burst out of his eyes, this thatched house is really dilapidated, its dark grass roof has collapsed in half, revealing the rotten and broken wood inside, it seems that a gust of wind can blow it down completely, the door of the thatched house is even more simple, it is simply nailed by a few crooked branches, in order to block the wind, on the paste on the fertilizer bag with urea written on it, the bag does not know how long it has been used, and now it has been riddled with holes。
Before everyone arrived at the door, the old village chief shouted in an accent that everyone could not understand, and after a while, the dilapidated door was pushed open from the inside, and a rickety old man with gray hair and beard and ragged clothes staggered out of it with a stick made of tree branches, and when he saw more than a dozen soldiers in military uniforms standing outside the door, the old man was stunned at first, and after a while, he raised his right hand tremblingly, and it took a long time to raise his right hand to his ear with little difficulty.
At this moment, everyone realized that the old man was actually saluting them......
