Chapter VI Tokens of Love

Section 1: Tokens of Love

The leaders of the breeding team decided to take a temporary break for two days, and everyone was free to move.

Hearing the news, Ma Linxi, like everyone, really cheered.

Except for the Spring Festival days, or rain and snow, they really can't get off the ground, and they spend their adult years in the fields, even at home, they have to do some work or something. As for getting up early and working late during the harvest season, and even working at night, it is commonplace. In the days before leaving, there were many things to do with the brigade and the agricultural science team, and Ma Linxi was busy going to the commune to change the relationship with the group, going to the grain station to exchange the national grain stamps, and going to the county seed station to implement the problem of adding small varieties of the agricultural science team to the team. What's even more coincidental is that it happened to coincide with the newlywed honeymoon, and that kind of happiness is really indescribable. Immediately afterwards, he left home and hurried to Hainan, and when he held a preparatory meeting, Deputy Director Ji Xuebin said that the season was tight over there, and he couldn't delay it for half a day. So, the departure was a day earlier than originally planned. It stands to reason that in big places like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Haikou, we should stop for more time and let these rural youths who have never been far away look and play and buy something worth remembering. But in order to be in a hurry, I rushed almost day and night. Although they also played some attractions, they saw the stitches and squeezed in a little time, otherwise, they couldn't see anything. When I got here, I breathed a sigh of relief. In short, I arrived early, and I was more relaxed in doing things. Of course, this is just Ma Linxi's speculation, what does the leader think, Ma Linxi is not a roundworm in their stomach, and they don't need to worry about it.

Originally, they were mentally prepared enough to immediately plunge into the agricultural activities of seed production. In fact, there's a lot to do. As soon as the leader announced this, the two-day holiday was really an unexpected harvest. Almost all people don't think and act much, first sleep beautifully for a day, and then go around the neighborhood, familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment, and see the scenery, otherwise, once you enter normal production, everyone is busy, and the body can't help but stop.

Ma Linxi also wanted to sleep hard for a day, make up for those lost sleep, and recover his strength.

The decision was made, and almost all of them did not get up to eat breakfast and sleep with their heads covered.

Winter on Hainan Island, especially the station of their Hedong breeding team, is located on the southernmost seaside of Hainan Island, at a low altitude and low latitude. Close to the equator, the sun is direct all year round, the climate is similar to the early summer in their hometown, the temperature difference between day and night is large, after lying down, there is really a feeling of "spring sleep is not aware", sleep very dead and very dead.

At first, Marlinsi was thinking about his newlywed wife and other women, but his mind went blank for a while, so that when he woke up at ten o'clock, he didn't have a dream, and he slept really deeply.

When I wake up, I want to sleep for a while, but I can't sleep anymore.

Simply, get up.

After lunch, Ma Linxi made an appointment with Wang Changsong and Fan Guangjie to walk around the neighborhood together. I don't know when, Wang Houcai and Liu Jinkang also followed.

The weather was particularly good, the sun was warm, and we didn't feel sunburned, so we didn't wear straw hats.

After going out, go around to the back of the house, wipe past the fence wall on the northwest side of the well platform where the bucket was dropped yesterday, and walk south along the path. Malinthia inadvertently turned around, and glanced at the well platform with some embarrassment.

When the bucket fell in, Marlinsi was scared and sweated.

His first reaction was that this was a big disaster. At the preparatory meeting before departure and at the meeting last night, Director Ji repeatedly stressed that no one should be allowed to come into contact with local personnel unless it was specifically necessary for liaison work. There's a reason for repeating this. It is said that last year, a member of the breeding team in a province did not understand the customs and habits of local ethnic minorities and had some contact with local girls, but just a few days before returning home, he had trouble. The young man picked up a handkerchief on the road, was detained, and married a local girl.

I heard that there is a custom here, if the girl takes a fancy to a young man and wants to marry him, she will throw a handkerchief at the intersection where she must pass. Then, hide and sneak a peek from afar. If the young man also took a fancy to the girl, he picked up the handkerchief and handed it to the girl himself, and the handkerchief became a token of love between the two. As long as the handkerchief is handed to the girl, neither man nor woman can regret it. Young men from the mainland, many of them are handsome and handsome, so they naturally become the objects of pursuit by local girls. Some people who don't know the details have become people in vain.

For example, the young man mentioned by Deputy Director Ji is engaged to be married at home. After the incident broke out, the breeding team and the local leaders were helpless, and the customs and habits of the ethnic minorities must be fully respected; this is an important ethnic policy of the party, and it is not a high-voltage line of high-voltage lines, who dares to touch it? This young man was also full of joy and sorrow, and he had no choice but to stay in the local area and become the girl's husband. The breeding team went back to do the work of the young man's family and ruined the engagement at home.

Undoubtedly, this is a classic lesson.

As for how credible this matter is, they can't guess, but one thing is certain, when talking about the safety of the breeding team, Deputy County Mayor Yang, Deputy Director Ji and Station Director Cheng repeatedly emphasized this issue seriously, to breed good seeds, first of all, we must absolutely ensure the safety of the breeding team. In addition to not killing and hurting people, there must be no more people or one less person. If there is one more person, the breeding team will not be allowed to fall in love with the local girl and bring the Hainan girl back to the mainland to be his wife; if there is one less person, no one will be allowed to stay as the local son-in-law.

Now, it's only the first day, and Marlinsi and they have borrowed someone's bucket. At that time, there were three or four girls washing laundry on the well platform, and the breeding team had just arrived, and they had neither a special well nor their own buckets. Borrowing a bucket is the only option.

The girl with long braids saw that Ma Linxi borrowed a bucket from her, and insisted on fetching water for him: "Help you fight, this well is deep, you can't get used to it." After saying that, he smiled meaningfully at Ma Linxi.

"Nope. Thank you, I'll come myself. Before Malinsi could finish speaking, the bucket actually fell. It's incredible.

However, just when everyone was laughing and leaning back and turning around, and Ma Linxi was at a loss, it was the girl who took the initiative to come over and say, "It's okay, I'll help you get it." ”

Without further ado, he snatched the rope from Malinsi's hand. There was an iron hook at the head of the rope, and I saw that she slowly put the long rope into the well, and only a very short part was grasped in her hand, and she bent down, her neck stretched out, and looked into the well, and one hand gently swayed the well rope as if by magic.

Marlincy was very anxious, could he lift the bucket up like this?

But the wellhead was too small for Malinsi to stick her head farther, and if she leaned forward, she touched her face. Marlinsi smelled her exhaled breath, with the peculiar smell of a girl, indescribably comfortable. Ma Linxi quietly took a deep breath and saw that on the uneven wall of the well, there was green moss on the surface of the stones, and the light spots reflected by the well water swayed on it, and nothing else could be seen. So, Marlinsi hurriedly retracted his body.

Strangely, at this moment, he found that the rope in her hand was straightened. Then, with both hands, she quickly carried the bucket out of the well, and it was filled with a bucket full of water.

She gently put the bucket in front of Ma Linxi and said, "The bucket can't stick to the surface of the water, don't put the rope too loosely, shake it gently, and the bucket will be watery." ”

After speaking, Yanran smiled, picked up the laundry tub, and disappeared into everyone's envious eyes without looking back.

This touched Marlinsi very much. She's so nice, he thought at the time.

By the way, she went around the well from here yesterday and came home from the path. An inexplicable feeling made Marinsi involuntarily walk along the path she had walked towards the village.

Section 2: The Childhood Memories of Rescue Heroes

Marlinthi felt that it was an alley running north-south, and as he passed by the well, he saw the sun to their east. After walking a long way, I found that most of the peasants' houses were sitting west facing east, and some were sitting south facing north. The family is a small checkered courtyard of its own, separated by a hedge fence such as tree branches, bananas, and cacti. The house is not high, generally three, and the middle is shrunk into a patio, leaving a verandah that can be shaded from the rain. Whitewashed walls, daiwa, have deep rain-eroded mildew. The wooden windows are wide open, and the thick window strips are not painted, revealing the original and rustic taste. Stacks of chopping wood were piled up in the yard, and clothes were drying on the fence. The path is like the bottom of a drainage ditch, hollow, full of pigs and dogs, chickens and ducks happily foraging, and if you are not careful, you will step on the manure of livestock and poultry.

Ma Linxi was really not used to such a hygienic environment, so he turned around and hurriedly turned back. Unexpectedly, I returned to the well fence unconsciously. It seems that this is the only way in and out of Zhuangzi?

To the west from the well railing, there is a path looming among the weeds. Without much thought, they strolled forward.

The north of the road is a sugarcane field that has not yet been harvested at a glance, and the sugarcane of the green stem is as tall as two people, densely tied, blocking the wind, and feeling hot and unbearable.

On the right, there is a pond of three or four acres of water, and the water is so shallow that it is about to bottom out. A small wooden sign is stuck crookedly in the water, and the words "No Fishing" written in ink can be faintly seen.

Marlinsi and his entourage followed the small path on the south side of the pond to the west, and when they returned, they left the pond far behind their butts.

Walking through the impermeable path between the sugarcane fields, I really have the feeling of watching the martial arts team members in the novel "Behind the Enemy Lines" when I was a child. The soft grass kissed the ankles, tickling people. Sugarcane leaves are covered with tiny teeth, and if you are not careful, your skin will be bloodied. Marlinsi had to use his hand to remove the leaves that stood in front of him. When I walked to the end of the path, I was sweating profusely, and my body was full of cuts.

Further on, there is no way.

A river of sand runs in front of you.

A cool breeze blew in his face, and Marlinsi felt much cooler.

The Sand River is not wide, the water surface is about ten meters wide, and the banks are overgrown with wild grass and thorns. The water flowed slowly, rippling with thin ripples, and the sun shone on it, as if sprinkled with a layer of broken silver, flickering and flickering. There are no aquatic plants in the river, and it is as clear as a mirror. It turns out that the water is very shallow, and this path can be waded to continue walking.

On the other side of the river, there are no sugar cane fields in sight, and there are basically endless barren grass and rocky beaches, which must be inaccessible. As far as Marlinsi could see, there was not a single house in sight, except for a factory with a chimney to the southwest. Not even a coconut tree with a strong vitality is there.

Of interest to them, not far away is the Hengyuan Railway in the left front, which is the southernmost coastal railway around Hainan Island. The Sand River, which flows down the river to the south, has an iron bridge a few hundred meters away.

If you look closely, it's a pretty good view.

"Can't get by?" Ma Linxi asked Wang Changsong beside him.

"Yes. Fan Guangjie said.

"The water is deep. Wang Changsong hesitated.

"It's not enough to come. What is such a little bit of water?" Hu Longbiao said. His family is a famous water town, and he has a different affinity and sixth sense of water.

"That's it. Like everyone else, Ma Linxi began to roll up his trousers: "Xiaohu will go down and try it first." He pushed Hu Longbiao.

"What does it matter? Hu Longbiao said, lifting his shoes and socks, lifting the hem of his trousers with both hands, and getting into the water with confidence. When he was almost in the middle of the river, the water was up to his knees. He was the shortest of the 30-strong breeding team, just over 1.6 meters. Therefore, everyone was relieved to boldly enter the water.

"Oh, that's shallow. Fan Guangjie said.

"Mom, it's scary. Wang Changsong said.

It's no wonder that a river with such a wide water surface, if it is in the area of the hometown of northern Jiangsu, the river water must at least reach the neck, who knows that Hainan is only so a little deep.

Marlinsi fell last among the group, quickly took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and picked up his plastic sandals and went into the water. "It's so cool and shady. ”

He continued to walk towards the middle of the river, the soles of his feet were soft, and the riverbed was covered with fine sand, and it felt like he was stepping on a plush carpet.

The water, close to the skin, is cool to the heart, and when the foot is raised, a circle of muddy water is revealed, and it slowly disappears in the gurgling water.

From the center of the river to both ends, the river flows from the north-east, the narrow surface of the water twists and turns, flowing gracefully from the coconut groves and sugar cane fields not far away, turning a great bend here, and continuing onward, through the tall railway bridge, until the south, disappearing into the artemisia grass and green trees, and must have flowed into the sea. Not far to the south, the tall coconut grove is where the coastline is located. Yesterday, they came from the seaside road. The sound of the sea can be heard clearly at night. The voice was majestic, like a galloping horse.

It had been a long time since she had crossed the river, which reminded Marlinsi of her childhood.

One summer, Ma Linxi and his neighbor Xiao Qingzi went to the Xiling production team next door to pick pig vegetables. Xiling is separated from Zhongxi by a small river, Hexi is a piece of cotton field, the ridge and the ditch side of the "blue-eyed grass", "bitter bitter vegetables" and "dog footprints" are particularly numerous, are the pigs especially like to eat the delicacies. The strange thing is that there are relatively few Chinese and Western teams on this side of the river, and there are many pig breeders in the Chinese and Western teams.

The Beiling Brigade in Xiaohebei, Sanxinggang, has barren land, which is worse than the Chinese and Western production teams, and the captain of the central production team in Hedong is very bad, and the members are not so friendly, and there are no good pig dishes there. The Xinxi production team in the south is also a poor team, and the only place where you can pick pig vegetables for a long time is Xiling.

The long field where the pigs grow is far away from the village, so it is not easy for others to find it. Although separated by a river, the water is very shallow, and there are small earthen dams in the middle, which are left behind when people catch fish in winter, and when the rainy season comes, only a little bit of the dam head is left exposed. Even if the water is submerged, people can judge the position of the earth dam under the water by the grass tips on both sides of the dam, and test the depth of the water with a small bamboo pole or break a slightly thicker reed, and can easily cross the river by wading water.

In the rainy season, the pig vegetables grow particularly luxuriantly, fresh and tender, and this is also the time when the piglets have the longest fat, the amount of food is amazing, and the task of picking pig vegetables is naturally very arduous. Xiling, which is rich in pig dishes, has become the "main battlefield" for many children of the Hedong Central and Western teams.

The people who pick the pigs are all children who are "seven or eight years old dogs", and they are very naughty.

After a long period of drought and heavy rain, the crops are like fermented dough, and it is the most taboo to leave, and after a string of footprints, cotton seedlings are inevitably trampled or even trampled to death. Therefore, whether it is a team cadre or a member, when they see the children picking pigs and vegetables in the other team, they will be thrown to death. If caught, not only will the flesh suffer, but the pigs, baskets, knives, shovels, and other tools will be confiscated, or thrown into the ditch. So, they played a game of cat and mouse. During the time period of breakfast, noon and dinner, when there is no one in the field, I secretly wade across the river, regardless of whether I can get down in the field or not, first roll up my sleeves and work hard, and then talk about filling the basket. Often they return with a full load, the field is a wolf, the field is full of deep and shallow footprints, and the cotton seedlings are also trampled around, and even directly stepped into the mud. In a hurry, he could faintly hear the poisonous scolding of the cadres and members from a distance behind him: "It's all little beasts." The little bastard dared to come again and knocked his leg off. ”

Scolding and scolding, the playboys from the Chinese and Western teams have long been accustomed to it, and the sneak attacks are still not stopped. Every time there are people left to sentry, as soon as there is movement, the whistle sounds, the rabbit and the little turtle grandson, everyone quickly evacuated, and when someone chased to the river, they had already waded over, safe and sound and hid outside the river. I couldn't even see a human figure over there.

Later, the Xiling production team strengthened precautions, had special personnel on duty, and also set up secret posts.

It rained heavily for more than ten days in a row, the river swelled, and the low-lying fields flooded the crops.

Marlinsi ran back as if he was dead. When I first arrived at the river, it was broken, and the shallow dam head was already guarded when I came. In a hurry, he plunged into the water and got into the east of the river. When he looked back, Zhu Yu also jumped into the water. Xiao Qingzi fell last, and he was about to be caught by captain Cheng Xuesheng. Just at the last moment, Xiao Qingzi came to a golden cicada to shed his shell, threw down the basket, and jumped into the river. Cheng Xuesheng looked at the splash that was stirred, scolded a few times, and then turned around and went down to the river, unable to see.

Koaoko is a famous landlubber. Marlinsi was amazed at when he had learned to swim. Zhu Yu also praised him: "Hey, Xiao Qingzi will also get water." ”

"Well, I haven't heard of it. Malinsi said.

Just when Xiao Qingzi was still far away from the river, he had no strength, and his body gradually sank.

Not good, Marlinthi exclaimed, as he quickly rushed from the top of the embankment into the river. When he rushed to the river, Xiaoqingzi had already sunk into the water. Where he had just sunk, a few bubbles popped up.

Ma Linxi hurriedly jumped into the water, swam from the bubbling place, and even ate a few fierce children, but did not touch Xiao Qingzi.

This panicked and breathed a sigh of relief, and Marlinsi plunged into the water again, and finally ran into him. Xiao Qingzi took Ma Linxi as a lifesaver out of the instinct of life, and grabbed one of Ma Linxi's legs with both hands. Marlinxi finally managed to surface, but was pulled down by him again, choking on a few mouthfuls of water. It happened that Ma Linxi caught Zhu Yu's outstretched hand again, and then dragged Xiao Qingzi ashore.

Xiao Qingzi can't do it anymore.

He was foaming at the mouth with foam outward, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't move, Ma Linxi and Zhu Yu hurriedly carried him to the nearby brigade outpatient room, and the barefoot doctor Cheng Yuzhao worked hard for a long time before he was rescued.

Xiao Qingzi can be regarded as picking up a life. Since then, no one dares to wade across the river to the Xiling production team to pick pig vegetables.

……

Section 3 Zhijin Liguo Sugar Factory

"Hey, what are you talking about? Why don't you take a shower?" Wang Changsong shouted at Ma Linxi with a roar.

"Wash it, wash it. Turtle grandson does not wash. Malinsi said.

Although the water is a little cold, it is not very cold, at home he often bathes in the river, the water surface is covered with thin ice, he dares to wash in the river, this river water is nothing at all, Marlinsi thought.

"Alright, alright. If you don't wash it, it's a turtle grandson. Everyone is waiting for you. Fan Guangjie said.

After bathing and going ashore, Marlinsi fell behind the crowd and walked along the winding path towards the factory building in the southwest direction.

In fact, there is no road at all, and you can faintly see the traces of people walking, knee-high artemisia grass covers the ground tightly, and from a distance, it looks like a winding grass dragon on a rocky beach.

After walking for more than two kilometers, I got on the railway.

On the south side of the railway is a sugar factory.

In fact, no one had ever seen what a sugar factory looked like, but everything in front of them told them unmistakably that it was a sugar factory. The air was filled with the smell of sugar grains, and from above the fence you could see bales of sugar cane on the open belt, and trucks full of sugar cane on the road from time to time.

Get down from the railway, turn to the right, and come to the south gate, next to the gatehouse, there is a tall white lacquered wooden plaque, which is written in big black lacquer characters: "Hainan Island State-owned Liguo Sugar Factory".

"Go in and have a look?" Wang Changsong said to everyone.

"Wangwangbo. Everyone agreed in unison. When Ma Linxi was still in junior high school, the school organized a visit to the county fertilizer factory, but he had never entered the factory except that, so of course this good opportunity was not wanted.

As soon as he reached the gate, he was stopped by the doorman: "Who are you looking for?" said the short, thin monkey-like man who was black.

"Visit, visit. Jiang Sigui grinned as if he had arrived in his own yard, talking and walking inside.

"No visit without a letter of introduction. The skinny monkey man stepped forward to block the way.

"Just take a look. Jiang Sigui stopped very gentlemanly and stretched his neck to look inside.

"No, go away. The skinny monkey man's eyes widened.

"No? I see that. Jiang Sigui turned his head and stretched his neck to look inside.

Knowing that they were in the wrong, everyone had to leave in a huff, and they heard the man muttering a thick sentence behind them. Presumably scolded them in tongues, Marlinsi guessed from the angry tone.

It was very coincidental that the man got off work, and there was a middle-aged man who looked a little honest, Jiang Sigui went up and greeted them politely, and let them in.

About fifty meters from the gate is the earth pound called sugar cane, where a fully loaded truck is weighed. After that, there is the sugar squeeze workshop.

Huge booms transport piles of sugar cane smoothly onto a large barrel-like conveyor belt, where they are processed, crushed to a fine level, and transported to the upper level. After a series of processes, to a workshop in the east, the snow-white cane sugar is continuously sent to the underground conveyor belt on a conveyor belt about one meter wide for acceptance and packing. When we arrived at a warehouse in the east, the sugar was automatically loaded into sacks with the words "100 kilograms" printed on them, and was being loaded.

Along the warehouse to the back, there is an abandoned cane manure workshop, where the crushed cane powder has been reduced to black flake waste, which will be sold as a high-quality fertilizer.

A little further to the east, there are two waterways on the edge of the Shahe River, and the upstream is an inlet channel about two meters wide, from which the water from the Changmao Reservoir enters the sugar factory for sugar extraction and processing. To the south, a large iron pipe flows out of the black-brown and very hot wastewater, which flows into the Dasha River.

After reading it, they jumped out of the courtyard wall to the south of the water inlet room of the sugar factory, and went straight onto a gravel road from east to west, and followed the road to the west without any reason.

Section 4 Earthquakes with a magnitude of more than 8

This area is a slightly undulating hill, and the sugar factory is built on the top of the hill, and from a distance, from south to west, is a long dragon-like green barrier of coconut palms, through which the sea to the south of the barrier can be faintly seen. To the southwest, there is a forest with scattered houses.

With no one to lead the way, they walked aimlessly along the gravel road.

Because they were walking from high to low, they soon entered a small basin surrounded by a long strip of rice paddies, and on the slopes on both sides of the hill were scattered coconut trees, and among the barren grass and rocks, there were banana trees in the east and west. The house has been hidden in the tall coconut grove for some time.

As they reached the bottom of the small basin and walked through the rice fields, the houses that had just disappeared appeared on the hill in front of them, faintly large patches.

When I inquired, it turned out that I was at the location of Banpo Commune, a small market town.

"What's the fun in town?" asked a local woman wearing a hat in her face.

"There's no such thing as fun. Are you a breeding team?" said the woman dressed in black, with a strong vernacular accent in Mandarin.

"Breeding team. Jiang Sigui learned the tone of the woman in black, and deliberately dragged each tone long.

As the woman said, there really wasn't much to see in the town, and the only usually popular market had long since dispersed, and only one pork seller had not yet closed its stall. The eyes were full of green-headed flies, and a piece of pork weighing seven or eight pounds was placed on a black and dirty board, on which was inserted a Li Kui-style board axe, and the board was piled with pig offal and sewage, intestines, lungs, and liver, which had already been cut into pieces.

At this time, a middle-aged man came over to buy meat and muttered a few words. The meat seller cut off a piece, hooked it with a scale, and threw it in front of the man, and then cut a piece of intestine a few inches long and a small piece of liver, and threw it into the man's basket.

The bazaar faces south in the shape of an open "hui" and is surrounded by passages with outer corridors, with a gravel square in the middle. The air was filled with a choking fishy stench, which was suffocating.

Turn around, and it is the commune compound. The large wooden sign with black vertical strips on a white background of "Banpo People's Commune of Ledong County" is dark, the wall is mottled and peeling, and it looks very depressed, without a trace of life at all, and there is no figure to be seen. It's like it's all over the New Year.

Some people say that people here are a bit lazy. It seems that it really lives up to its name.

They walked around the small streets of several tens of meters, except for a few shops that were still open, and most of them had long since closed and locked. They felt bored and didn't want to stay for a moment. So after crossing this short street, we returned to the railway north of the town and walked east along the roadbed to the station.

"Ming-" A train of trucks drove past them from Huangliu Town in the west, and a wave of heat hit, and they involuntarily snorted outside the roadbed.

The train was pulling coal, and the white steam covered them with soot, choking their eyes so much that they couldn't open their eyes, and Marlinsi only felt an itch in his neck, and when he reached out and touched it, his fingers turned out to be a black layer of ash.

". Jiang Sigui walked away towards the train and spat at the figure.

There is no railway in northern Jiangsu. Before coming to Hainan, I had never taken a train, so I had never seen what a train looked like, and of course I had never walked around the railway. It seems that everyone is similar to Marinsi, full of freshness and curiosity about the railway, and coincidentally, they no longer return from the same road from which they came, but go home along the railway. Everyone knows that the railway is the only one here, and the distance in a straight line from their station is only a few kilometers, which is the shortest way back.

Everyone walked on the sleepers for a while, and walked on the steel rails for a while, as if playing acrobatics, to see who walked far, talking and laughing, and before they knew it, they arrived at the railway bridge when they came.

The railway bridge is indeed a good place to see the scenery. At first, the beautiful scenery did not attract Marinthi's attention, but the iron ladder next to the railing attracted them. After aimlessly crouching over the iron railing and looking at it for a while, Marlinsi went down the iron ladder, which turned out to be the passage that led to the pier.

The river was not wide, there were only two piers, and the six of them involuntarily separated. Wang Changsong, Jiang Sigui and Ma Linxi on the bridge pier to the west.

The piers are so big, the size of a half-house, the surface of the cement is smooth and clean, and the breeze on the river surface makes the whole body feel very cool.

Suddenly, a train came. A rumbling voice quickly rolled towards them. Marlinsi instinctively wanted to climb onto the bridge. Jiang Sigui grabbed Ma Linxi's heel and exclaimed, "Come down, it's too late!"

Marlinsi quickly descended from the iron ladder to the pier, lying on the hot concrete pier like him. The train whistled with a shrill whistle. The sound was deafening, like a sea of mountains and thunder, and the entire bridge pier was like experiencing a strong earthquake of magnitude 8, shaking and scaring them one by one.

"Mom, what's so scary!" Jiang Sigui patted the clothes on his body and said.

"Yes. Actually, it's a matter of what's going on. Dog's day, it's just a little scary. Wang Changsong said as he climbed up the iron ladder.

Leaning on the railing, the sand river at your feet is like an arrow from the string, passing through a coconut grove and flowing into the blue sea. On the sea, a little white sail can be seen faintly, and the sound of the waves is bursting, very heavy and heavy, like the power of thunder, rushing towards the mainland.

This feeling, Ma Linxi still used limerick poems in his notebook at night.

A Glimpse of the Iron Bridge

A bridge flies over the Dasha River,

There are many views from afar.

Iron Dragon East and West to Huang San,

The peaks are green and the mountains are white.

Cattle are all over the place foraging for grass,

Seedlings shade sugar cane plantations.

Coconut Grove Villa Village welcomes guests,

Qiong Island has added another thousand waves.

Ma Linxi opened the pocket atlas he carried with him, and the railway at his feet was the southernmost section of the map of China. Before he came, when he looked at the map on the way, he didn't know how many times he looked at it repeatedly.

Now, Marlinsi is standing on it, standing on one of the easiest landmarks on the map to locate – the intersection of the railway and the river that flows into the sea. He thought to himself, this is the southernmost point of China's landmass. Filled with an indescribable sense of pride and happiness, Ma Linxi really wanted to tell his relatives and friends at home: "Do you know? I am now standing on Hainan Island, the southernmost land of the motherland, to share with you. ”

Malinsi smiled unconsciously.

Bounded by the Shahe River, the west of the river is almost a wasteland, except for sparse coconut groves and small sugar cane fields, most of which are thorny rocky beaches. Hedong is a different scene, thriving, full of lush coconut groves, patches of rice fields, some have been harvested, some are golden, and one by one is scattered among the sugarcane fields and coconut groves. In front of you, except for a few families in the coconut grove in the south of the road, it is the village where their seven teams are located. Looking at it from this side, it looks like a crystal pearl embedded in the green jadeite, which is really incredible. Walking through the village, I saw those beautiful and majestic coconut palms, which now looked like a forest, and the houses were looming.

To the east of the village, a north-south road runs from the sea, and on both sides it is covered with towering cypress trees, like a long line of green dragons, winding towards the foot of the mountain to the north, and the mountains melt into the distant sky.

The sun was about to set, and the sky in the northwest was covered with clouds and fog, and it was impossible to tell which was the green mountain and which was the cloud under the twilight, but Ma Linxi knew that Jianfeng Ridge should be there, but it was a pity that he couldn't see it.
