Chapter 4 Crossing Hainan Island

Section 1 Pretending to be elegant

"That's Hainan Island!" the middle-aged man pointed to the small black dots looming in the sea, and said to the young woman next to him who was dressed up in time.

Marlinsi looked up at his watch, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon.

The sky is cloudless, the sun is warm on the body, and the sea breeze is not big, but it is very cold, and the wind is a little unbearable. Perhaps it was because most of them, like Ma Linxi, were on a sea ship for the first time and went to Hainan Island for the first time, and although the journey was very tiring, everyone did not want to stay in the cabin with turbid air and smell, so they crowded onto the deck to see the scenery of the sea.

In Marinsi's imagination, the metaphor of the blue sea always felt a bit untrue.

When I boarded the boat from the dock at the mouth of the Pearl River last night, the sea water was not only clear, but even a little muddy, and it had nothing to do with the blue at all. And now, the sea in front of me is really blue, like blue ink. It turned out that they had not been in the deep sea far from the coastline before. But in front of me, the entire sea is connected by water and sky, and it is so uncommon that even the horizon cannot be distinguished. The small black spot, which is considered to be Hainan Island, is on the top of the waves for a while, and then it is thrown to the bottom of the valley by the waves, and there is no trace. The occasional sea ship is too small to be smaller, in the turbulent waves, it has been swallowed again and again, and has stubbornly struggled to the top of the wave again and again.

In this situation, Ma Linxi also pretended to elegantly put together a poem and wrote it down in his notebook. In fact, his knowledge of classical literature is actually pitiful.

The so-called high school he attended at that time lasted only two and a half years, and he also had regular extracurricular work, such as leveling the fields and preparing the land, digging rivers and digging ditches. The small river to the west of the middle school was made by the students cutting a high mound. The new brigade of the town, which was of different terrain, later became a model for the whole commune, and there was the sweat of Ma Linxi and his students.

Therefore, the little knowledge in the classroom is really pitiful, let alone learning poetry and songs. The whim hobby is just to draw a scoop according to the gourd, and it doesn't matter whether the painting looks like or not, it's just a record of the mood at the time. So much for.

"Qing Pingle Crossing the South China Sea"

the vastness of the South China Sea,

Seagulls soar in unison.

The blue waves are vast,

Look around at the sky and the water.

The Red Guard XII marched westward,

Wear through the silver mirror.

I have multiplied here today,

When will the road be resumed?

After about an hour, the small black dot gradually turned into a thick line.

Later, on the thick line of blue and daisy, you can vaguely see the shadow of a tall and slender tree, which should be the hero tree of Hainan Island - the coconut tree.

Soon, with the long whistle of the sea ship "Hongwei XII", the line just now became longer and thicker, the coconut trees became taller and taller, and the blurred cars and pedestrians in the shadows of the trees gradually became clearer, and some ships shuttled between the front and back of their sea vessels, and the small sampans floated on the sea like leaves, and the white cloud sails were particularly eye-catching.

The four blood-red characters of "Xiuying Wharf" jumped into view.

The port of Haikou has arrived.

Section 2 Settled in Haikou

People crowded out of the boat, not far from Xiuying Wharf, Ma Linxi was sweating profusely, his clothes were stained on his body, and the sun was hot.

Looking around the left and right, I found that they were carrying their hands on their shoulders, so it was not hard, and they were overwhelmed one by one.

There are several teams like them that go on expeditions to fight, and it can be seen that they are also breeding teams from the mainland who came to the island, but they are not like them wearing sweaters and pants, they are all shirts and sweatshirts, and straw hats are uniformly distributed.

"This is a breeding team from Hunan Province, and people have been here for several years. Zhang Dayou of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences was proud to tell everyone that everyone was envious, he was a veteran who came last year.

The pedestrians on the street were dressed in the same summer attire, and they could see that they were on fire.

It's a long way from the boat dock by the sea to the city, and it's a small train ride to the city center. They were settled in the Overseas Chinese Hotel. It's a three-story building in a bustling city, with cracks and creeps in many parts of the walls, and moss and creepers.

Ma Linxi and his entourage entered the lobby of the hotel.

It seems that this is also a place dedicated to the reception of breeding team members. The door, lobby, and staircase, including those who enter and exit the elevator, are almost all breeding team members from the south and the north, and many people's undershirts and vests are also printed with the words "southern breeding", "Hainan scenery" and "the end of the world". I thought, "When will we be able to wear this special commemorative undershirt?"

Their luggage is concentrated next to a pillar in the lobby, everyone stands, sits, and some people go to the door to look curious, look around, and have a glimpse of the street scene.

"Where's my little bag?" asked a fellow from another provincial breeder, groping his hands around him.

Everyone was alert and searched for their luggage and bags, as if the plague had suddenly spread and everyone was in danger.

"A guy just now went out as if he was panicking. Without waiting for the breeding team members on the side to finish, the team members who lost their bags rushed out the door.

Marlinsi, like everyone else, kept an eye on her luggage. The bulky coat was removed, and only a black shirt remained. The neckline and cuffs are already shiny, exuding a strong smell of sweat. Take the train from Shanghai, and the road is stained with soot from steam locomotives. In Guangzhou and on the sea ship, there was no time to change clothes. Fortunately, everyone is like this, so it doesn't matter.

The person who stood at the front station brought a disc of white iron from the main service desk, surrounded by a tinkling keychain. Then one by one, they will call each person's room number according to the list on the form. Ma Linxi and Wang Changsong and the other four were finally ordered and divided into a large room.

The room was on the third floor, and there were too many people in and out of the elevator, and they couldn't squeeze in, so they had to carry their luggage up to the third floor again.

The room was larger than a classroom, and the walls were lined with bunk beds for double sleepers, with four in between, and twenty or thirty people suddenly poured in, and it was crowded. Anyway, there's a place to lie down and sleep.

After staying here, Marlinxi found that their Chase shop was full of customers from various breeding teams, at least from four or five local breeding teams.

Anyway, they are all peers, no one cares about others, they are just busy washing and making beds, and the room is chaotic and full of choking filth.

Marlinsi prepares to take a shower.

No, it's called showering.

In the middle of the floor, there is a special shower room with taps all around. The floor is full of men, go in with a towel on your shoulder, unscrew the faucet and flush it, and it's over. Then I did my laundry and had dinner. That's when I feel refreshed and relaxed. So, go downstairs and go shopping.

The sun hadn't set yet, but it wasn't as hot as it had been when I first got off the boat.

Hainan Island is surrounded by the sea, and it heats up quickly during the day. But as soon as the sun leaves, the atmosphere reduces the heat supply and cools faster. Therefore, Haikou in the evening became warm.

Tall coconut trees are lined up, and clusters of coconut fruit hang high in the armpits of the leaves like large umbrellas, almost as tall as a three- or four-story building. Strangely, from a distance, the coconut trees are so slender and straight. Under the shade of the trees, there are stalls full of fruits, watermelons, bananas, sugar cane, coconuts, betel nuts, mangoes, jackfruits, too many to count, and many fruits that Marinsy can't name, strange shapes. The shouting, the shouting, the bargaining, one is higher than the other.

There are many watermelons that are cut, and swarms of green-headed flies fly around on them, landing on them from time to time and flapping their wings. The stall keepers shouted at the top of their voices, and at the same time chased away with leafy branches. Watermelon rinds, rotten watermelons, and watermelon seeds are all over the ground, and if you accidentally step on them, you will definitely fall.

Marlinsi watched and walked around cautiously, for fear of stepping on these "mines".

In the middle of the fruit stalls, some are also mixed with snack stalls, selling fish porridge, cold powder skin, pork offal, sugar glutinous cakes, crowded one after another. Many stalls also have a piece of rivet next to it, and adults and children are lying or sitting on the ground to enjoy the shade.

Motorized tricycles, rickshaws, and tractors weave through the streets.

The group of three walked through the stalls and into what is said to be the largest department store in Haikou.

After turning around inside, the heat was unbearable, and there was no interest. Compared with Zhujiang Road in Guangzhou, Nanjing Road in Shanghai and the Bund, the gap is obviously too big. So I went home and went to bed early.

Just now, the team informed that the shuttle bus will go to the station at half past four tomorrow morning at five o'clock. So you have to get up at four o'clock.

Some large items were stored at the front desk on the first floor, leaving only a small handbag with them, which was used as a pillow.

"Didn't you save anything?" Ma Linxi asked Wang Changsong, who was leaning head to head on him, and their two beds were connected at the end of the bed.

"I don't think you saved it. Troublesome. He slapped a mosquito to death, and the blood was sticking to his palm, and wiped it on the edge of the bed.

"Haikou is not much to see. Marlinsi shoved the edge of the mosquito net into the bottom of the straw.

"Of course. What did you buy just now?" Wang Changsong clasped his hands in front of his chest.

"I don't want to buy it, I'll talk about it later. Malinsi said.

"Sleep. Wake up and sleep at night. Don't be like a pig. He reminded Marlinsi to guard against thieves.

"It's okay, where is there so much bad luck. Ma Linxi said, and the drowsiness came up, and Wang Changsong stopped talking, and there was a slight snoring sound.

Section 3 Midnight Terror

After some time, a loud noise woke Marlinsi from his sleep.

"Chase. Catch the thief—" Someone exclaimed.

"He escaped through this door. Chase after it. Don't let him run. ”

"Quick. Wake up the. ”

"Damn, what's the noise, I'm asleep. ”

There was a commotion in the house, and someone turned on the lights. There was a jumble of footsteps down the stairs from the hallway.

There was a mess in the house, and everyone hurriedly checked their things.

"I thought you were peeing. Malinsi said.

"My bag is gone. I put it next to my pillow last night. Wang Changsong looked around in surprise.

"My bag is gone. Marlinsi groped around, screaming.

"It's all under the bed. Wang Changsong lay on the ground, grabbed the edge of the bed with one hand, and buried his head in the belly of the bed.

"The lack of virtue of dog days. Marlinsi rolled out of bed, lay on the concrete floor, and stretched her neck under the bed.

Wang Changsong used a broom to pull the things scattered under the bed, all over the place.

Many of them are like them, lying on the floor looking under the bed, or rummaging through boxes and cabinets to count their belongings.

Ma Linxi is really lucky, except for a dozen yuan, everything else is there, invoices, ferry tickets, and bus tickets are a lot. Although it is only a dozen yuan, it has extraordinary significance, that is, his grandmother quietly stuffed it to him when he left, and he was reluctant to use it along the way, so he used two yuan and five yuan when taking color photos in Guangzhou, and the rest were all packed in the bag, which was looted by thieves, and a few catties of national food stamps for change were also taken.

Wang Changsong's losses were much greater than those of Ma Linxi. He lost more than 100 yuan and 20 pounds of food stamps. Everyone else was also stolen with money and food stamps, and the tickets and documents were the same.

It seems that thieves are so smart that they want money and not things.

Everyone scolded for a while, but fortunately, the tickets were all there, and it didn't affect the hurry. At this time, it was already dawn, and it was time to pack up and go downstairs to concentrate. Then drive to the coach station.

The Haikou bus station was crowded with people, and it was noisy and shouting, and it was impossible to intervene at all.

The square was crowded with people, luggage piled up like a hill, and loudspeakers sounded the screeching of departures, bombarded in Mandarin and Haikou dialects.

They were gathered under a row of coconut trees, and everyone guarded their luggage, for fear that they would grow wings and fly away, or that some bad guy would blatantly lead the sheep to take advantage of the chaos and rob, and all of them would be nervous by the night thieves.

Deputy Director Ji Xuebin repeatedly confessed when he left the hostel and just got off the bus to gather: "Everyone takes care of their own things. There are a lot of bad guys robbing here. ”

"Jiang Sigui, where are you going? ”

Deputy county magistrate Yang Hongru had long lost the prestige of making a report on the rostrum of the county government auditorium, and at this time, like ordinary tourists, he was ready to take a car on the road. Deputy Director Ji is responsible for contacting the people at the front station to enter the station and when the train will be able to depart. Deputy County Magistrate Yang's task has become the leader of the gang who temporarily takes care of them, which is even more comical than the appearance of the contractor. Marlinsi and the others are young farmers who are just starting out, full of curiosity about everything around them, and they are constantly looking around. As the saying goes, I am willing to lead a thousand troops, not a hundred people. He, the county master of Xiucai, is obviously not the material to lead this group of people.

"Pee and pee. The flamboyant Jiang Sigui ran the train all day long, and he didn't take Deputy County Magistrate Yang's words seriously at all, and ran away without looking back.

At this moment, Director Ji stood at the gate and waved loudly to this side: "Get on the bus! Get on the bus!"

Ma Linxi picked up his luggage and quickly rushed to the door, until he heard Deputy County Magistrate Yang behind him shouting hoarsely: "Jiang Sigui - get in the car——。 ”

The few people who were left behind also shouted loudly and in a low voice: "Jiang Sigui-get in the car——。 ”

Marlinthi carefully handed the ticket to the noon woman who was checking the ticket, she didn't look at it, took it and made a round hole the size of a sesame seed with a pliers, and stuffed it into Marlinsi, and called out impatiently: "Next." Hurry up. ”

Jiang Sigui came sweating profusely.

"When you get in the car, you still run blind?!" Director Ji was not as elegant as County Magistrate Yang, and roared angrily.

Jiang Sigui's face flushed, he lowered his head, and he didn't dare to come out, while the others gloated and secretly snickered.

The traffic highways of Hainan Island are mainly three lines, with Haikou in the north of the island and Sanya in the south of the island as the endpoints, and are divided into three interconnected trunk lines in the east, middle and west, forming a road network around the island. The eastern and western routes are coastal routes, so they are detours, but the terrain is flat, and the road conditions are said to be relatively good. However, if you set off from Haikou to Sanya, whether it is the east line or the west line, you will not be able to rush to Ledong County, where you are stationed, on the same day. If you take the eastern route, you must spend the night at Xinglong Overseas Chinese Farm in Lingshui or Sanya, and if you take the western route, you must spend the night in the eastern county. And take the middle line, get up early and take the evening, and you can arrive on the same day. But most of this line is a narrow road over the mountains and mountains, although it is dangerous, but it is close, it is also cheap, and it can save a day. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to stay for another night, and the leaders of the team have decided to take the middle line long before setting off at home.

The car drove not far from the city of Haikou and entered the tall and dense coconut grove.

The coconut trees in the middle of the road shade the sky and the sun, and the buses speed through the green tunnels, and the forest is shady, and there is not a trace of sunlight on the road. Through the coconut grove, you can faintly see patches of rice fields that are green and yellow. On the rolling hills, there are scattered pieces of fragrant cane orchards and sisal gardens. The tall betel nut trees, like slim maidens, and the low pineapple bushes, like carved bonsai. A strong sweet smell rushed into the car window, which was refreshing.

"It's jackfruit ripe. Zhang Dayou pointed to the tree with a large canopy outside the window and said. Zhang Dayou is tall, has a split head, has a cheerful personality, and can give strangers closeness. In addition, he works in the county agricultural science institute, and it is said that he is also the right-hand man of the famous rice breeding expert Xu Xianzhong, and he is a veteran team member who has been there, so it is natural that he has an unusual affinity in this group of farmer technicians.

Everyone followed Zhang Dayou's guidance and was amazed.

Ma Linxi looked for a sound, and the branches with big shoulders and round waists were full of fruits the size of winter melons.

After the car passed through Qiongshan County, the scenery outside the window changed again, obviously entering the depths of the mountain.

The bus is like a snake circling between the mountains and mountains, and there is no one for half a day, and occasionally there is a small village, which is like a glimpse. In addition to the green mountains, there are also green mountains.

Although the scenery outside the window is beautiful, when you see it too much, it feels a little bland. Gradually, Ma Linxi's eyes became a little astringent, and he no longer coveted the scenery outside the window, so he dozed off. I have been very tired for the past few days, and this morning I was woken up by a thief, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep groggily.

Section 4 Thieves are like a forest

"Wake up, wake up. "Someone shook Marlinsi desperately.

Ma Linxi muttered sleepily, "Damn, what are you talking about?" ”

"It's time to eat, brother. "It's Wang Changsong again.

"Huh? So fast?" Marlinthi jerked out of his seat.

"Eat, eat. Wang Changsong hurriedly pulled him by one arm and walked out of the car.

"Dinner, I thought I had arrived. Ma Linxi rubbed his eyes, only to realize that there were only two of them in the carriage.

"This way, this way. Wang Changsong dragged Ma Linxi again: "You haven't woken up yet?"

"No, I want to make it easier. Malinsi said.

"You're the only one missing, Director Ji is angry over there. Wang Changsong said.

Only then did Ma Linxi know that everyone got out of the car early, and when they sat down at the dinner table, they found that there was one less person. Jiang Sigui fell behind when he checked the ticket before getting on the bus just now, and now there is less Ma Linxi for dinner, no wonder Deputy Director Ji is angry. They estimated that someone had left someone in the car and asked Wang Changsong to come to him. He was the interim group leader for Marinthi.

Dinner was in a small restaurant across the street from the bus station, with a total of five or six dining tables, almost all of them were their people.

In that way, the table was full of cups and plates, and the floor was full of spilled food, and it was difficult for people to get involved, and the two big yellow dogs fought under the table for a meat bone, so that the people at the table stopped eating, and the others were almost finished.

They sat down at a table full of soup by the window. Deputy County Magistrate Yang was wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, smiling and saying, "Eat quickly, I'm going to be in a hurry soon." With that, he got up and left. There was an empty seat next to him with dishes and chopsticks, and it seemed that it should be Deputy Director Ji. Marlinsi is really sleepy today. Don't think about it anymore, pick up the bowl, bury your head in the rice, and gobble it up.

"What's the hurry? There's still a quarter of an hour to go. Xu Feng said, his hands constantly smearing the wet water. He is a breeding technician at the county agricultural science institute, and Zhang Dayou is a colleague. Zhang Dayou is responsible for the genetics and breeding of Director Xu, and Xu Feng is responsible for the purity identification of the seed production points of each commune of hybrid rice. These two people, everyone is familiar with them on the road.

As soon as the rice bowl was pushed, Ma Linxi rushed out the door to find the toilet.

Everywhere there were passengers stopping to eat and rest, it was a mess and dirty, and it was hard to find the public toilet outside the station.

Marlinthi hurriedly ran over, fumbling for the buttons underneath as she ran, her lower abdomen distended like a drum skin.

Good guys, business is doing well. Full. The poop pits and urinals are crowded with people, and their feet can't be inserted into them, and feces and urine are flowing everywhere, and the stench is overwhelming.

Marlinsi lifted his trousers, like stepping on a plum blossom stake, and carefully jumped out of the brick padded in the puddle and turned to the back of the toilet.

Behind the toilet is a dung pit with a big mouth of blood, and Ma Linxi doesn't care about 3721, it is convenient on the spot.

Inadvertently, Marlinsi looked down into the dung pit, and the scene that jumped into his eyes almost scared him unconscious.

What did he see? a colorful wallet.

Wallets, wallets! The dung pit was covered with a thick layer. It can be seen how rampant thieves are here.

Maybe it was a subconscious reflex, Marlinsi immediately tensed up, and while letting go of his hand and continuing to urinate, he groped for his wallet with both hands on his body.

First, I touched the pocket behind my buttocks, and it was empty. The jacket pockets, too, are empty. Marlinsi panicked a little. The wallet is extraordinary, it's not that there are only a dozen yuan lost last night, but this time all of Nanfan's belongings are in it, a full two hundred yuan and thirty yuan.

Before getting into the car, Marlinsi also checked on the body. Now that it's gone, do we have thieves on the bus? We are basically full of long-distance passengers, and there are many people in the breeding team, and we don't get on or off passengers on the way...... Marinthy's mind was a mess, and his hands were messing up and down, so that the driverless handle wet his pants.

"What is missing, so urgent?" Jiang Sigui shook a few times, then lifted his pants and stood side by side with Ma Linxi.

"I thought my wallet was stolen. Marlinsi finally found the wallet from the pocket of his close-fitting jacket, opened it and saw that it was a lot of money, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said to him with a smile.

"Are there thieves in the car?" Jiang Sigui asked.

"You look below. Marlinthi shook his handle and motioned for him to look into the dung pit.

"It's amazing. It's terrifying. Jiang Sigui glanced at the dung pit and exclaimed. Hands hurriedly groped around his body. I realized that there was nothing missing, so I said, "Obediently, there are so many thieves." Walk fast, walk fast. ”

Now Ma Linxi has figured out that the place they stopped at is called Qionghai Bus Station, on the edge of the county seat. I heard from others that almost all the long-distance buses on the middle line park, eat, refuel, and refill water here. On Hainan Island, Qionghai is not big, but it is an important transportation hub.

Restless and frightened, they quickly got into the car.

The car passed by the central street of the county.

Section 5 Coffin Street

At a fork in the road, a statue monument can be seen in the distance on the right.

Someone in the car began to talk about it, saying that it was the Red Detachment of Women Monument. Of course, Ma Linxi, the Red Women's Army, knows that the names of Wu Qinghua and Hong Changqing are not only familiar, but even "Red Women's Army Song" can now be sung word for word. But I didn't know that the hometown of the Red Women's Army was Qionghai, and it was now close at hand.

This is where curiosity and respect arise.

Like everyone else, Ma Linxi hurriedly stuck his head out of the window, and those who did not lean against the window left their seats one after another, and also went to the window to look at the scenery outside.

"There's nothing to see. It's just a stone statue. The driver spoke Mandarin in a strong Hainan dialect that they didn't seem to understand. Holding the steering wheel in one hand, shifting gears with the other, and pressing the accelerator, the car quickly passed by the statue.

Yes, it's indeed a stone statue, and it looks very rough, and you can vaguely distinguish the full-body portrait of a women's army, a little black and not slippery.

This disappointed Marinthi, and it was a world of difference from the image of the Girl Scout on the movie and posters.

Like Ma Linxi, everyone retracted their gazes stupidly, and no one spoke anymore, as if nothing had happened just now.

After crossing the intersection, the bus entered the side street lined with shops.

The side streets are narrow, and roadside stalls are connected to stalls. The driver wanted to take a shortcut to get out of the city as soon as possible, but he didn't expect it to backfire, crawling like a snail, constantly honking the horn, no one paid attention, and everyone just enjoyed the outside style.

Outside the car, from time to time, someone slapped the car body and shouted: "Damn, you don't have long eyes, you're about to run into my stall." More people cursed and crossed in front of the car, and no one knew what it meant.

Finally saw the end, and another hundred and ten meters could squeeze out of this small street.

Suddenly, the shops on both sides surprised Marinthi. Along the way, almost every store deals in one kind of goods - wooden coffins. Even if they don't sell coffins, they are shops related to the dead, wreaths, shrouds, decimal goods, wood, and wood carvings.

Most of the coffin shops are two stores, one to display the finished products, large and small, there are a variety of models, the materials are not the same, some materials are delicate, dark red or dark brown, the texture is better, at a glance you know that it is the best raw materials. Some are painted with black lacquer, and the oil is shiny. There are also natural materials on display. Some of them carved patterns or complicated patterns on the head of the coffin, and even some were painted with gold, which is very exquisite. Next door to the other room is a processing plant, and there are people talking about business, maybe tailor-made for the deceased. Because, the customer is wearing a black veil and looks sad.

Ma Linxi counted carefully, and there were more than thirty. Stylish. It seems that it is unique in China. Treating the dead with kindness and letting them rest in peace may be the best explanation for the living to the dead.

Exit Coffin Street, turn right, and you will get on the wide asphalt road.

It turned out that this street was directly connected to the outside of the city, but the car street was small, which delayed a lot of time. Ma Linxi suddenly remembered a sentence that the ancients often said, many times, smart is mistaken by smart.

Section 6 Crossing the Five Finger Mountains

After crossing a few hills, a river valley appeared in front of the left, and the slender river was shrouded in gold and silver under the sunlight, sparkling, like a silver snake disappearing in the distant mountain peaks in the southeast. Along the banks of the Dasha River, there is a green forest belt of coconut palms, which cares for the rice fields. Ma Linxi guessed that this should be the Wanquan River.

When I opened the map, I saw that it was the famous Wanquan River under five fingers.

At Haikou Xinhua Bookstore, Ma Linxi bought a book of "Hainan Island" for two dimes and read it repeatedly along the way. According to the introduction in the book, the Wanquan River originates from the Wuzhi Mountain in the central part of Hainan Island. Based on the current location of the bus, it is speculated that they have entered the central hinterland of Hainan Island. It is also the highest place in Hainan Island.

Sure enough, as introduced in the book, after a glimpse of the Wanquan River, there was no shadow, and the eyes were full of towering mountains, and the road conditions became more and more precipitous. The car circled around the mountainside like hide-and-seek, and the sun shone in through the left window, then through the window on the right, then in front of it, and then in the blink of an eye, behind the back buttocks.

Sometimes, the car drives rapidly at the foot of the mountain, and then climbs the hill with a clatter. The throttle was getting bigger and bigger, and the master who was driving kept shifting gears, constantly stepping on the brakes and then stepping on the accelerator, and even Ma Linxi and the others felt that the car couldn't climb. They were riding in a high-powered mountain diesel bus, with more than 80 seats, perhaps the world's smallest bar that Ma Linxi had seen, and on the mainland, he had never seen this kind of strong man who could hold nearly a hundred people. Despite its great horsepower, it now looks like it's a bit overwhelmed, and it's almost a step-by-step struggle to move up.

I finally stopped climbing.

The bus gasped heavily, and the exhaust sound behind the butt of the car was a little scary - bang - eat!

Marlinci put her nose against the windowpane and looked out, good fellow, they are at the top of the hill again. The road below is like a stacked streamer, from top to bottom, full of five layers, so dangerous, he said to himself.

Whatever came to mind, there was anything, and the car went down again.

The so-called down is almost like a wild horse rushing down.

The carload of people were all scared, and their hands desperately grabbed the iron handle in front of them. The handles have long since worn off the paint, with sweat stains and greasy, slippery.

Looking up, they looked like free-flying mountain eagles, swooping down on their prey in the valley, and also like rushing down a cliff. Everyone was in their throats, but at the moment when they were about to rush down the abyss, the front of the car turned sharply to the right, and turned to the other side of the mountain against the stone wall with intertwined canine teeth. The car full of people fell to the right. Although there was no danger, I was still scared and sweaty.

The people in the car, when they went out of Qionghai, everyone was happy, but now they all looked grim, and they all became dumb without saying a word, and their faces were like ashes. Perhaps, everyone's mood is the same as Marinsi's, hoping that this fearful section will end as soon as possible.

However, as if the mountain was about to tease them, there were triangular yellow cards warning of "dangerous sharp bends" from time to time. However, as if he didn't see it at all, the driver still ignored the surprise of the full car, leisurely held the steering wheel, and went all the way forward.

Gradually, the sun slipped down from the mountains to the west, and a dark mist rose in the valley, the layers of the scenery began to blur, and the road conditions were not as steep as before, but gradually became more and more gentle.

I don't know when the thrilling warning triangle is gone. The trees along the roadside are thick and moss-filled, and in their place are rubber plantations one after another.

It seems that the car has driven out of the primeval forest area of Wuzhi Mountain and entered the relatively safe southern hilly area.

At this time, Ma Linxi understood the real reason why the driver was desperately rushing just now, and he may have wanted to pass through the accident-prone main peak area of Wuzhi Mountain before the sun went down. It's well-intentioned. I can't help but feel a warm current of general emotion in my heart, and the driver's heart is really good.

The night covers the sky, and the cars pass through the dark forest, with the occasional flash of lights, and that is the village deep in the mountains.

There was silence and ethereal all around. Except for the roar of the car motor, the earth only whispers in nature.

A light appeared in front of him, and Ma Linxi's spirit was suddenly shocked, and the sleepy insect also ran out. Seeing a street name sign in the distance, it appeared in the light of the headlights, and Marlinsi craned his neck from his seat to look, but before he could see what the words were, the sign slid black overhead. So, I hurriedly put my face close to the window pane and carefully distinguish the signs of the shops along the street.

It turned out that this was passing through the urban area of Sanya.

Section 7 Driving over the mountains

Sanya is the largest city on Hainan Island besides Haikou and the largest city in the southern part of Hainan Island.

However, the street scene at night, Marlinsi could not in any way associate with the famous place name. Perhaps, when he looked at the big cities along the way from Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Haikou, the preconceived prosperity dissolved the beauty of the city? In any case, although it is a very famous city, it is not as beautiful as its hometown county. In other words, it is not much better than his hometown of Nandun Town. Except for a little more buildings on the side of the road and a longer street, there is nothing to be proud of. Marlinsi thought.

What surprised Marlinsi the most was the mess.

The paved road is potholed, and the sides are crowded with jagged houses, which are dilapidated, low and cluttered. Most of the shops have no neon signs in front of them, and they are so black that they can't even make out the signs. The sidewalk from the door to the side of the road is a sandy land half a road wide, full of garbage and sundries, tables and stools, shelves, iron shelves, containers, littered bags, cardboard boxes, melon skins, piles of sugarcane skins and coconut shells, unsold watermelons and sugarcane stacked on the side of the road like a hill, the snakeskin bags covered on it are blown by the wind, and the dirty smell mixed with the salty and wet smell of starfish is blowing in the face, which makes people suffocate.

Happy are the seemingly homeless livestock, from time to time you can see chickens and pigs leisurely foraging. They get along with each other, sniffing, sniffing, digging in the garbage heap with their paws, probably choking on the strong smell, and actually sneezing, shaking their heads and waging their tails, and continue their search. Or maybe it's not because dinner hasn't been resolved, but because the weather is unbearably hot, and they come out to cool off. It didn't look like he was hungry.

Ma Linxi felt hot, a little stuffy, the windows had not been closed since they came out of Haikou, the dust behind the butt of the car was swept into the carriage, and everyone was covered with stains on their hands.

On the roof of the car, the black fan is hula-la-la-la. The salty sea breeze is cool, but it does not cool them. Maybe they were hoping to get there sooner? Anyway, everyone was so hot that they were wearing only a shirt. Ma Linxi sighed: "How big is our country, on the day I first set off, it was too cold to wear two sweaters at home." ”

I don't know how long it took, the car turned a big right turn, and someone excitedly shouted, "The front is coming!"
