Chapter 14 The Spring Festival marches to Jianfeng Ridge

Section 1: Dreaming back to childhood

A violent burst of firecrackers woke Marinsi from her sleep.

Marlinsi opened his eyes and looked, hey, the sun had risen. Looking out the window, the sky is blue, the wind is light and the clouds are light, and the eyes are full of green, which sets off the Jianfeng Ridge in the distance more beautiful and charming, and the air is filled with a faint smell of gunpowder.

The Spring Festival is coming.

Many are still asleep. When I woke up, I didn't bother to lie on the bed, lying quietly, as if no one wanted to get up with this head. No one wants to say the first thing first. The room was quiet, with the occasional chirping bird or two wafting in through the window.

Ma Linxi still wanted to sleep again, turned over again, closed his eyes, but Ruke couldn't sleep. I was thinking about the mess I had just been doing in my sleep. The scenes in the dream are still vivid.

Marlinsi vividly recalled the dream just now.

Early in the morning, Ma Linxi followed the brigade's literary and artistic propaganda team to the family of the martyrs to pay New Year's greetings, and the first one to go was the home of Zhang Fukui, the central production team to the east of the brigade headquarters.

A group of men and horses beat gongs and drums to the east, and before they reached his door, the family was greeted by the pier.

The foundation pier of his house is located on the east side of the main north-south canal, surrounded by a field of farmland, and a small road at the top of the canal leads to the south hill of his kitchen. The kitchen faces east, the three halls face south, and the entrance is a 100-square-meter threshing floor.

The propaganda team had just started performing a lake boat on the field in front of his house when suddenly an explosion of "bang-to-to-" rang out from behind Marinthi, followed by a pig-like howl of "Oops!"

Looking back, Zhang Zhuren was holding his shoulders.

It turned out that he had taken the cane in the wrong direction when he released it just now, and the lit cannon had burrowed into the sleeve of his loose padded jacket, and the cotton wool had been blown up, and it was still smoking. He hurriedly immersed his arm in the water tank, and then destroyed the spark on the cotton wool.

Ma Linxi left the brigade headquarters and walked north from the large pile on the west side of the river.

After a while, I got on my bike again.

Somehow, Ma Linxi and his neighbor Zhang Fujian went to Liu Zhugao's house to steal melons. Liu Zhugao's house is located in the west of the small river in Sanhejian, and a small road in the east mountain of the house runs north and south along the river, and the river is covered with tall and dense reeds. A few days ago, Ma Linxi went to Liu Zhugao's house to call his son Liu Dehong to pick pig vegetables, and when he passed in front of the pigsty, he accidentally saw melons planted in the cornfield, with an attractive aroma. came back and told the news to his old friend Liu Zhugao's "big group" Zhang Fujian. The "big group" turned green when he heard this, "I'll get two to try when I have time." ”

It was a big day in June, and it was so hot that they were sweating even longer standing still, and the two of them crawled forward from the cornfield behind his house. Half-human-tall soybean trees are planted in the cornfield, and the eyes are full of melons the size of bowls. Most of the melons are ripe and fragrant, and I can't wait to eat them first. However, they couldn't do it in front of them, so Grandma Liu was rubbing the rope under the shade of the tree at the main entrance. The big group discussed with Ma Linxi, and the two acted separately and attacked each other.

Zhang Fujian slipped from behind the pigsty to the chaigou bang on the east mountain of the top house, and deliberately made a noise from the reeds. Grandma Liu is too experienced in dealing with these petty thefts. Her family's melons are famous for their melons, and thieves visit them almost every year during the harvest season.

When she heard the movement, she hurriedly put down her work, picked up the broken bamboo pole beside her, scolded and scolded the "big group" to make a noise, and scolded while chasing: "I see which little strong thief has the courage to go to the top of his head." ”

Grandma Liu has bound her feet since she was a child, and the three-inch golden lotus can't take a big stride, and she walks and walks. As soon as she left, Ma Linxi hurriedly picked two big and yellow melons and slipped away. Because of the fast running, there was a commotion in the cornfield, and Grandma Liu found out that she had turned the tiger away from the mountain, and scolded and chased after her: "Which little thief is rushing to the gun." I'll cut you a thousand times. ”

The elder brother took six or seven little brothers from Ma Linxi to pick pig vegetables and passed by at the door of Lin Sheng. It is said that his lame mother and his grandmother are bitter enemies. Seeing that the door of his house was closed, his brother picked up the hammer knife and poked it into a big pumpkin, Yu Xiaoyangzi followed with another knife, Liu Si followed another knife, Ma Linxi inserted the fourth knife into it, and opened a bowl of melons, just about to cover it, my brother signaled Ma Linxi not to be in a hurry, and soaked urine. Following his example, several people also lined up to urinate, and finally sealed their mouths.

The lame mother later picked up the big pumpkin and killed it, and the room was full of uproar, and the urine flowed all over the table, and they peeked out of the window to see clearly, and they all laughed from ear to ear.

……

Section 2 A different kind of Spring Festival breakfast

Ma Linxi's hometown of northern Jiangsu, there are some traditional customs on the day of the Spring Festival.

Before going to bed on Chinese New Year's Eve, adults will distribute candy to children, in order to be auspicious, before waking up in the morning and talking, eat a little, and then shout New Year's greetings to the elders, saying some auspicious blessings, and the elders will often give the children symbolic New Year's money. Then, the adults got up early and set off firecrackers. Do not sweep the confetti all over the floor, for the sake of celebration and wealth.

The breakfast on the day of the Spring Festival is usually the rice balls wrapped the night before.

Since the beginning of Ma Linxi's memory, this rice ball on the morning of the Spring Festival is the most elaborate of the year. In addition to letting go of the belly and eating full, more importantly, the rice balls are still filled. The filling is made with lard, osmanthus, rock sugar. In an era of severe food shortages and dripping with oil, this stuffed rice ball has considerable allure for both adults and children. Even if your mouth is shiny, you don't need to wipe it off. That's the quality of the wealthy, the capital of the children to show off.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, eating glutinous rice balls on the day of the Spring Festival is still a grand and ceremonial thing. You have to wait until the whole family is seated at the table before you start eating.

Marinsi flashed back from her childhood.

After getting up, everyone received wheat flour and dumpling filling in groups, and made dumplings together.

There was no special board, and plastic film was spread on a bed at the door where no one slept on, and everyone gathered around. Some people paste flour, some people make dough, wrap them, and do some busy, and the house is a mess.

After a while, all kinds of dumplings were wrapped, and a long bed was full, large, small, and shy, all kinds of strange shapes, and there should be everything.

Then, everyone made their own dumplings. Although the dumplings are not good-looking, the filling is carefully prepared in the kitchen, so it tastes good, and it is the fruit of their own labor, so everyone eats it very deliciously.

Just packed up the dishes and chopsticks, it was lively outside, and the cadres of the brigade brought a group of people to the Hedong breeding team to pay their respects.

The members of the breeding team greeted the guests warmly.

Secretary Zhao of the Tangfeng Brigade, who had never shown his face in front of the breeding team, also came, accompanied by Camp Chief Lin and Director Yu, who were in charge of the contact with the breeding team, Ke Meiying from the outpatient room, and Captain Ke, Accountant Gao, Ke Ruiying, and Ke Naying of the Lichang team.

For a moment, the room was packed, and some of them were standing, some were sitting on their beds, some were looking inside, and then they turned to the threshing floor outside.

The breeding team felt very kind, and they were so happy that they didn't know what to do, and took out peanuts, candy, and cigarettes, and rushed to stuff them into the hands of the guests.

"Thank you. I don't smoke, I want a piece of candy. Accountant Gao smiled and pinched a piece of candy from the fruit box held by Xing Yiyou.

"Where's Xiao Ke? Come on, come on, this is Shanghai candy sent from our house. Xing Yiyou handed Ke Ruiying a handful of exquisite candy.

"I'm from my hometown. Then I'm going to take two more pieces. Ke Ruiying quipped.

"This is an authentic Shanghai product. You taste it too. Ma Linxi opened the Shanghai White Rabbit candy in the tin box she had just received the day before yesterday, grabbed a handful, and stuffed it into Ke Ruiying's hand.

"You're so biased. I'm not a liaison. Hurry, hurry, hurry. Ke Meiying, who was talking to Deputy Director Ji, caught a glimpse, and hurriedly squeezed over and stretched out her hands in front of Ma Linxi.

Ma Linxi hurriedly grabbed a handful of candy, "How dare you." I'm afraid you won't appreciate this face. Put it in Ke Meiying's hand and exchange a happy look with each other.

"Don't be busy, Doctor Ke, I'm better than his. Jiang Sigui also grabbed a handful of candy, but she couldn't put it in her hand.

"Oh, I wish I had brought a bag. Ke Meiying slowly moved her hands to her chest and freed up her other hand.

Everyone talked and laughed together, and before they knew it, it was more than nine o'clock, and the guests left one after another.

Section 3 Be a guest at your favorite home

It was almost noon, Ke Meiying came to Ma Linxi and invited in a firm tone: "Go, go to my house to play." ”

"This. Marlinsi hesitated.

Although it's a bit boring now, some of the others are playing cards and chess, and some people are visiting the liaison's house. Marlinsi doesn't have a liaison, and of course no one invites. You can go to the local member's house to play, and the team site used to have a rule that you were not allowed to visit the house casually. In fact, except for a few honest people in the technical team, no one else is soaking with the liaison officers of the production team all day long. They have long been frequent customers, and they often eat at their homes. Like Jiang Sigui and Ke Naying, Xu Feng and Ke Ruiying, and Xing Yiyou and Gao Xiaojing, these three pairs have come and gone all the way, and they are similar to lovers. Listening to Jiang Sigui himself showing off to them, he sometimes went to Ke Naying's house, if she happened to be there, the family would leave unconsciously, and the two of them would be left to talk about everything. A few times because of the fat matter, I didn't open the door in the morning when I came to her house, and when I opened the door, Ke Naying didn't get up in bed and said, "I'll sleep for a while." ”

Jiang Sigui couldn't help it, so he had to sit on the edge of her bed and watch his watch count the seconds.

"Then you hugged it?" asked Hu Longbiao in front of several people.

Jiang Sigui said disdainfully: "What if you hug it." I've kissed it. And make exaggerated gestures of touching your hands.

"You're bragging. You don't have the guts to scare you to death. Fan Guangjie said.

"If I go to her house, if she is not there, my brother-in-law will go to her like a rabbit, and I will go and call my sister back, and I will know where she is. ”

Regarding Jiang Sigui's words, although no one believes it, the so-called don't do what you say, don't say what you do, this is a reason that everyone understands. But he ran towards Ko Naying's house when he had time, and the two were inseparable, which was obvious to all in the breeding team.

As for Ke Ruiying, she is a girl who is loved by everyone.

But the relationship with Xu Feng is extraordinary, and almost everyone in the breeding team can see it. Of course, Ke Ruiying is also very good to other breeding team members, that enthusiastic, charming eyes and tone that make people feel ape, even Ma Linxi likes her very much, although the cultural level is slightly inferior to Ke Meiying, but her temperament, wherever she goes, no matter how many girls she has, she will be compared to her aura. The men in the breeding team are all close to her. As for whether Xu Feng has substantial intimate contact with him, it is difficult to say, he is not married anyway. If you are not married, you don't have a formal wife. Ma Linxi even had this strange idea, if I hadn't gotten married, I would definitely find a way to chase Ke Ruiying after I went back. Although, it was just a flash of thought.

Perhaps because she is married, Ma Linxi no longer deliberately gets close to Ke Ruiying, but prefers to be with Ke Meiying. Ke Meiying is not married, but she is also married, which does not affect the relationship between the two. Ke Meiying also knew that a certain corner of her heart was specially reserved for Ma Linxi. If you don't talk about love, why not make a friend of the opposite sex in the distance?

What worries Ma Linxi is that in the New Year, is it good to go to her house to play like this? Will the leaders criticize when they know about it, and what will other people say? Every time she joked with Jiang Sigui about her and Ke Naying, Ma Linxi thought the same as others, hoping that the more vulgar and obscene the better, this would make her feel an indescribable satisfaction and pleasure.

However, Ma Linxi is particularly opposed and even afraid that others will make such jokes with him, especially the kind of jokes with Ke Meiying, Ma Linxi will feel uncomfortable. So, Ma Linxi thought, if you go now, don't you give someone a handle?

"Oh, hesitating about something. And Wang Changsong, as well as you, Lao Qi, all go together. Without saying anything, Ke Meiying gave Ma Linxi an encouraging look and pulled him up and walked out the door.

And just like that, the three of them went. On the way, Hu Longbiao was also brought with him. Ma Linxi thought to himself, there are many people who go, and others have nothing to say, including Deputy County Magistrate Yang and Deputy Director Ji, in that way, they all have something to say.

Ke Meiying's family lives in the south of the village, three tiled houses hidden in a dense coconut grove, like all the houses, the house sits east and faces west, there is a small threshing floor of dozens of square meters at the door, under the cornice is piled up with firewood from the windowsill, neatly stacked, two fat pigs and a chicken and duck gather next to the haystack to feed, obviously, they get along very harmoniously and friendly. The big yellow dog was lying lazily next to the firewood, and when he saw Ke Meiying coming back with a group of strangers, he looked like he was blind, raised his head, stared at his master, and wagged his tail a few times weakly, and then lay down to sleep with it. A little flower cat is crouching on a stool next to the big yellow dog, dozing off. Seeing that the master came back, he quickly jumped down from it, screaming "Miya, Miya", and ran around Ke Meiying's legs and feet. Seeing that the master ignored it, he took his tail and left. The floor of the courtyard was full of shattered firecracker debris, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air. The big red Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the door, "The harvest depends on the Communist Party, and happiness does not forget a certain chairman." "Under the cornice hung rows of New Year's goods, pork, dried fish, chili peppers. In a bamboo plaque under the windowsill, rice noodles with white flowers are dried.

Rice noodles are a particularly popular food among the locals. In Guangzhou, Ma Linxi has eaten machine-rolled wide rice noodles, which are crystal clear and transparent, and the appearance is very attractive. Since I was a child, I have been accustomed to eating wheat noodles, and although the texture of rice noodles in my mouth is smooth and refreshing, it is a little difficult to swallow. In Haikou, I ate cold rice noodles again, but I still didn't have the feeling of the locals. It seems that this is a matter of eating habits, otherwise, why would the locals like to eat rice noodles so much? Ke Meiying's family is also like this.

It was the first time that Ma Linxi had walked into a Hainan home. A few times before, I have also been to Ke Ruiying's house, but I didn't go in, just watched at the door for a while. Because she was looking for her father, she didn't wait to enter the door, and her father came out. Therefore, Marlinsi also looked at it very carefully today.

Ke Meiying's house is a mixture of bricks and stones, the courtyard is surrounded by walls more than half a person high on three sides, the beams and columns in the house are of fine wood, brown and reddish, at a glance you know that it is a very strong material, the surface is a little rough, and the traces of axe sawing are clearly visible. The tables, chairs, cabinets and other furniture in the house are all made of logs from the mountains, and the rest of the furniture is dull except for the paint in the wardrobe. In addition, the stove is also in the middle of the house, and it is a little dark because it has been smoked for a long time. On the wall in the center, there is a standard portrait of a certain chairman of the great leader, and on both sides are the big red couplets that read "Listen to a certain chairman and follow the Communist Party". In the incense burner, which was the thickness of a basin, a pillar of high incense the size of an arm was burned, and the room was filled with fragrance. On both sides were two large and small copper candlesticks, and the bright red flames flickered and flickered, reflecting the face of a certain chairman on the wall behind him.

The candies and pastries they did not know on the rectangular table, the large plates and small plates of dishes, could not fit on the table, and they were staggered with half a layer of each other, and there were forty or fifty large and small dishes.

It has long been said that the locals like to put out everything they can eat at home to entertain guests. Of course, it has to be a valued guest. The amount of dishes is not exquisite, some dishes, even each person can't spread a chopstick, some do superficial things, play tricks. Anyway, Ke Meiying treated them as honored guests today. Moreover, her parents are still busy on the pot. Obviously, the arrival of the breeding team, they feel that they have a face. Ordinary people don't invite guests to the breeding team. What's more, mainlanders have a very envious feeling in the hearts of Hainanese, who feel that mainlanders are very rich, that Hainan is backward, and that ethnic minorities are synonymous with poverty. In fact, there are more poor places on the mainland than they are. Of course, no one is willing to disclose this information to them, otherwise, they will not belittle themselves.

It can be seen that Ke Meiying's parents are also honest and authentic farmers, and the two old men smiled at them, still busy with their own affairs, and handed over other things to their daughter, who can talk and do, with a happy smile on their faces. Keep bringing the finished dishes to the table.

Although it is not a good wine, it is also bottled sugar cane wine, and it has a small bitter tail in the mouth. However, they don't have any appetite, perhaps, they have eaten too many good things in the past few days of the New Year, or the taste is wrong, the bowls in front of each person are full, and Ke Meiying still vigorously put vegetables into their bowls: "Eat." Eat. This is Hainan's specialty. Eat some. Eat some. ”

Everyone greeted politely, drank happily, and kept introducing the customs and jokes of each person's hometown to Ke Meiying, which amused the host and they were also happy.

Probably because of the hospitality, Ma Linxi and the others didn't eat many dishes, and some of them didn't move their chopsticks, and the table was piled up like a hill. I drank a lot of wine, and a few empty bottles. Sugarcane wine is low in content and slightly sweet, so I drink too much before I know it. Not only Marlinxi, but the few people who went there were almost drunk. When I returned to the dormitory, I fell asleep on the bed and didn't even get up to eat dinner. I didn't get up until the next morning, and my head was still a little dizzy.

Section 4 Where to spend time and confusion

Yesterday, because I went to Ke Meiying's house, I quickly passed the day. So, what to do today?

"It's fucking boring. Xu Feng looked at the roof and was stunned.

"What can you do? There's nowhere to go, so it's better to lie down at home." Wang Changsong turned over.

"Why don't you go to Banpo. I'd like to print two undershirts. Qi Moxiang was already sitting on the bed, ready to get up.

"When can I print the undershirt? Besides, people may not open the door for the New Year. Malinsi said.

"Otherwise, let's go to Yingge Sea and see the salt farm?" Xu Feng came up with an idea.

"Do you know how far this place is from the Yingge Sea?" asked Ma Linxi, who had carefully studied the map of Hainan Island. Yinggehai is nearly a hundred miles away from them, and it is not something that can be easily walked to.

"How far can it be, isn't it very close to the Yellow Stream?" Xu Feng was a little absent-minded.

"It's eighty miles, and going back and forth is equal to one hundred and sixty miles, do you have water in your brain? Not to mention playing, you can't finish all day long with so many roads. Marlinsi is a sure reminder.

"How can it be so far?" Xu Feng felt very disappointed.

"Hey, let's go to the beach to catch sea cucumbers. Or go to the ends of the earth. Wang Changsong suggested.

"No, I can't. No way. Catching sea cucumbers depends on the tides. It's only easy to catch when the tide is at its lowest. Qi Moxiang said, as if he was full of experience.

"The ends of the earth are too far away, farther than the sea of warblers. It takes half a day to take the train from Banpo, and we don't know the time to stop at Maling. Malinsi said.

For a while, everyone had no idea.

The sun came out and the weather was exceptionally good. No one wanted to stay in bed anymore, so they started washing up.

The air is very fresh, the coconut grove under the backlight is full of poetry, the red sun illuminates the tall coconut trees into silhouettes, and the pillars of light sift through the dense leaves on the empty threshing floor, swaying the shadows.

The seedlings began to turn green, and the new stubble of sugarcane began to grow foot-tall young seedlings, and the fields were green and stretched into beautiful green gauze tents.

The distant mountains are like daisies, and they are particularly charming and moving under the clear blue sky. Inadvertently, the morning fog rising in the sky gradually dissipated, and the Jianfeng Ridge revealed its graceful posture again, and the blue-brown peaks, like a sharp blade, stood still on the earth, and the sharp knife pointed straight at the clouds. The light veil-like mist lingers on the mountainside, adding a bit of grace and mystery, how desirable.

"How about we go to Jianfengling?" Ma Linxi, who was brushing his teeth, glanced at Jianfengling and asked Wang Changsong beside him.

Wang Changsong didn't hear what Ma Linxi said, and asked him after washing his face: "What did you just say?"

"I'll tell you, how about we go to Pinnacle Ridge. ”

"Jianfeng Ridge?" Wang Changsong looked at him suspiciously.

"yes. Go to Pinnacle Ridge. Ma Linxi rubbed his face with a towel.

"What's there to see. Wang Changsong looked disdainful.

"Look. Ma Linxi pouted in the direction of Jianfeng Ridge: "How beautiful." ”

"Oh, there's not much to see on the road. Wang Changsong said, turning around and preparing to go back to the house.

"Wait. Let me tell you, that's different, in Hainan Island, except for Wuzhi Mountain, it is the most famous. Ma Linxi tugged at Wang Changsong's arm.

"Who said that?" Wang Changsong asked rhetorically.

"I said it. Marlinsi was sure.

"Hmph. You. Wang Changsong shook his head contemptuously: "I don't believe it." I've never heard of Jianfeng Ridge or some famous mountain. ”

"Oh, what else can I lie to you?" Marlinsi glared at him, then said, "It means you don't understand." ”

"Good. I don't understand. Wang Changsong put the teapot on the table, wiped the residual toothpaste from the corner of his mouth with a towel, and then hung it on the bamboo pole at the end of the mosquito net, and then turned to Ma Linxi and asked, "Do you understand?

"Mom, I said you don't understand, you just don't understand. Ma Linxi threw a toothbrush and a towel on the windowsill, quickly took out a map from his luggage bag, opened it to the page of Hainan Administrative Region, spread it out on the bed, and said: "Look at this map, in addition to the peaks marked by Wuzhi Mountain, what are the other peaks?"

"Hell, there's really Pinnacle Ridge. Why haven't I heard of it? Wang Changsong stared at the map, a little suspicious of his eyes.

"You think you're a jack of all trades. I've been researching Hainan Island for the past few days. Ma Linxi grabbed the map from Wang Changsong's hand and put it in the middle of the bed so that everyone could see it.

Several people gathered around. Ma Linxi pointed to the map for everyone to analyze: "You see, there are only a few peaks on Hainan Island, and there are names and surnames, which are Wuzhi Mountain and Jianfeng Ridge. We passed through Wuzhi Mountain, everyone knows that at its foot is the Wanquan River, that area was the base of the Qiongya Column back then, and the Red Women's Army was active in that area, which was too far away from us. It's certainly not realistic to go over there and play. Look at Jianfengling, this is the railway from Huangliu to Sanya, this is the Shahe River to the west of our breeding field, and this corner is the current station of our breeding team. Jianfeng Ridge is in this direction, and from the map, it is much closer than Yingge Sea and Tianya Haijiao. What's more, we can all see that the distance will definitely not be too far. ”

"What's the use of seeing it? It doesn't mean it's close. As the saying goes, when you see a mountain, you run a dead horse. Wang Changsong suddenly came to inspiration and was proud of his defense.

"Don't be complacent. Look at this again. Ma Linxi took out the book "Hainan Island" from his bag, found page 63 with a photo and a brief introduction to Jianfengling, pointed to the black and white characters on the book, and read aloud word by word: "Jianfengling, the second highest peak of Hainan Island, is located in Dongfang County in the southwest, and is the location of the state-owned Jianfengling Forestry Farm. Jianfengling is one of the three major forestry bases on Hainan Island, and the timber stock of the forest farm is 7.43 million cubic meters, of which mature timber forests account for 73.5 percent......

Hearing Ma Linxi say this, Wang Changsong stopped squeaking.

Fan Guangjie said: "It seems that there is really a lot of fun. I just don't know how far it is. ”

Wang Changsong said narrowly: "Ma Linxi said that it is not far away." ”

Ma Linxi immediately grabbed the conversation: "It's not far away." We don't see it every day, and that's the main peak of Pinnacle Ridge. In fact, Marlinsi has no basis, he guessed based on his own knowledge.

"In that case, what are you hesitating about, go. I'll go too. There is no place to play, and everyone is suffocated. Jiang Sigui couldn't wait to say.

"Well? Who else wants to go? Marlinsi packed up the map and books and asked everyone.

"Go. Which one doesn't want to go?" Wang Changsong also became active at this time.

Section 5 Marching to Jianfeng Ridge

In 1978, the second day of the first lunar month.

After breakfast, more than a dozen members of the Hedong breeding team deliberately wore new clothes, straw hats, and set off for Jianfengling with curiosity.

Because no one has ever been to Jianfeng Ridge, no one knows how to walk so as not to detour. With the knowledge that Ma Linxi had just learned from books in the past few days, and because he could see Jianfeng Ridge every day, he had the courage to walk at the front of the team and lead everyone on the road.

The ignorant, fearless. Ma Linxi, these young people, with a curiosity and the superficiality of seeing is believing, regardless of whether the road is far away, move forward with enthusiasm.

Marlinsi was particularly happy with his all-encompassing organizational appeal, and he was full of spirit and became the de facto leader of this team.

Because I was afraid of delaying time, when I left, I didn't ask for leave from the team headquarters, and almost all of them slipped out. When I went to the outside of the village, I saw that there were eighteen people, and half of the breeding team was here.

In order to hurry quickly, it was almost a hurried march. Out of the village, turn onto the road and walk north through the Banpo Brigade for a while, and found that the direction was a little northerly, so regardless of 3721, the ridge of the rice field continued to march to the northwest.

There are no reliable landmarks and experiences, so Marlinxi always takes the main peak of Jianfeng Ridge as the goal, and always rushes in this general direction.

At first, everyone was very interested, and they talked and laughed along the way, and they were very relaxed and happy.

The Dasha River crossed in front of him and blocked the way. Everyone wore shoes, so it was difficult to wade through the water, and as a result, they had to wade across the river after a detour.

Ma Linxi and Liu Jinkang took off their shoes and socks to explore first, and found that the water was not knee-deep, so they carried the others across the river one by one.

After crossing the river, there is a valley basin, covered with rice paddies. Sometimes you have to make your way on the cow lane overgrown with artemisia. It was difficult to get past the ditch, so I picked up some sand with my hands to pad my feet. When they passed through a section of the canal, everyone scooped up water and drank enough.

After more than two hours, the rice fields gradually disappeared and were replaced by sweet potato fields and sugar cane fields. Barren fields, overgrown with weeds.

Further on, the sweet potato and sugar cane fields were left behind by the Marinthies, who could only wander through the bushes and barren meadows.

After a long long walk, they came to the foot of the mountain. Looking up, the forest, which was originally dark and blurry, was completely clear and rich.

After a while, the patches of Xia Wei floating on the dark hillside also revealed their true faces. It turns out that they are kapok trees full of flowers. The five-petal red flower with the large bowl mouth of the tree looks like a red glow falling down the hillside from a distance.

The pinnacle ridge was far and near, and when they found it right in front of them, they held back their strength and climbed up like a strong mountaineer.

They could clearly see that it was right ahead, over the hill in front of them, and that was it. The slope of the hill was gentle, and they continued their ascent along a little-traveled path.

The more you climb, the closer you get to the main peak of Jianfeng Ridge, the more there is no road, and you have to struggle along the ditch formed by the flood.

There were more thorns, and the weeds were higher than their heads. Gradually, Jianfeng Ridge was actually blocked by the small hill in front of him. Marlinsi guessed that this meant that it was time to conquer Jianfeng Ridge. Everyone started the sprint in unison, completely forgetting about fatigue.

However, when Marlinsi was the first to climb to the top of the slope to announce the good news of the successful conquest of the main peak, he was surprised: there was no shadow of the pinnacle ridge.

In front of you is a small basin surrounded by four mountains. It seems that the Pinnacle Ridge is blocked by the hills around the small basin. So, isn't it enough to cross this basin?

Marlinsi took the lead and rushed down the hill again, and continued on with great vigor.

After passing through the sparse forest area, it didn't take much effort to descend to the center of the basin. On the uphill restart, Marinthi's spirit multiplied. This time, it must be Jianfeng Ridge if you turn over. Marlinsi naively imagined.

In order to travel lightly, he threw away the sugarcane he had brought with him. There was only one thought, to rush upwards with all my might.

However, when Marlinsi rushed to the top of the slope, he was still disappointed by the sight in front of him, and what appeared in front of him was not the main peak of Jianfeng Ridge, but another small basin. If you don't do it, you don't stop doing it, and if you come, how can you give up halfway. They went on to conquer a basin hill in front of them.

However, it is a pity that Marlinxi and they have conquered twenty small hills one after another, and still have not seen the shadow of the main peak of Jianfeng Ridge.

Now, Marlincy has realized the saying, "See the mountain and run a dead horse!"

In the Tangfeng No. 7 team where the breeding team is stationed, as long as the weather is fine, you can see the main peak of Jianfeng Ridge in the northwest, which is like a sharp blade, proudly standing tall on the green mountains. He thought of Mount Everest, its majestic posture, you can see it standing on the top of the peaks hundreds of miles away, but if you want to climb to the top, I don't know how many professional mountaineers dream of countless people, is sacrificed on the way to the dream.

Thinking of this, Ma Linxi couldn't help but shudder.
