Chapter 37: I Have a Pot of Wine
Mitsubishi Jeep walked forward on the not very spacious highway, Tang Yuan was half-lying in the co-pilot's seat, with his feet crossed and high on the co-pilot's countertop, although it was a cold winter day outside, the car was heating on, so both of them took off their coats, at this time Tang Yuan was wearing a single coat, and his hand movements kept opening a bag of snacks, and said to Chen Kun, who was holding the steering wheel and staring at the road intently: "Kunzi, do you want to eat a little?"
Chen Kun glanced at the snack in Tang Yuan's hand slightly, and then took it back from Tang Yuan's body, which was more delicate because he was lying down, and shook his head slightly: "Help me open a bottle of Coke." ”
Noticing Chen Kun's gaze, Tang Yuan smiled slightly, but didn't mind, got up neatly, reflexively took out a bottle of Coke in the back box, opened it with a snap and handed it to Chen Kun: "Here, Kunzi, you haven't said where we're going, this road is really good, you just said that you will have to pay for this road?
At this time, it was already afternoon, Chen Kun took the cola with one hand, took a shallow sip, put it on the drink rack, and said with a smile: "This is a highway, of course it is repaired, you see that it has run one hundred and eleven, as for the toll, it must be according to the length of the road, how many roads to take, how much to pay, and the state to build roads and collect money from the state, which is also appropriate." ”
Tang Yuan nodded as if he didn't understand, "Then let's go there?"
At this time, there are not many high-speeds, there are not a few in the country, of course, the number of cars in that era is not much, because of the high-speed toll, there are fewer cars on the road, and the big cars that run long distances in this era are generally running more on the national highway, of course, it must be said that the high-speed road is better to run, but the problem is that the national highway does save a lot of money, and the car does not feel that the gap between the loaded taxis is obvious.
So in those years, there were not many big cars or small cars on the highway, many people said that they ran high-speed and fuel-efficient, and the national highway could not run up and the road was far away, then again, the fuel cost of more than two yuan a liter in these years and months could not catch up with the Coke in Chen Kun's hand, not to mention that a bottle of mineral water in later generations was more than this price, and more fuel money was really nothing.
It is said that it is a self-driving trip, after ten or twenty years, there are many uncertain risks, as a manifestation of more maturity of the soul than the body, more reflected in the maturity of thinking, when making plans, Chen Kun did not consider taking the national highway, can have a high-speed must take the high-speed, a few dollars are indeed not bad, of course, it is not completely panicked to burn money.
It is certain that you can appreciate more customs and customs by taking the national highway, most of the national highways run through the cities and towns, and the customs and customs of the extension line are more natural, and the scenery is much better than the natural scenery of the highway that cannot be parked.
However, Chen Kun thinks more about the safety of travel, this is really no way, the reputation of the car bandit road rage is too big in these years, although it is said that there are some serious knocks in the past few years, and there is a trend of resurgence in the past few years when listening to adult conversations.
Although Chen Kun had never been out of the house at his age in his previous life, these factors had to be considered, the social changes in the ninety years were huge, and the big changes often had great turmoil, and there was indeed chaos for a while in those years, even in the urban area, there were news of taxi drivers being robbed from time to time, and news of robberies and murders for hundreds of yuan was not uncommon.
I am a minor, with such a little girl as Tang Yuan, although I know that Tang Yuan is very capable of fighting, there is a way that is difficult to defeat with two fists and four hands, not to mention that these car bandits and road rage generally have some white road relations in the local area, and the boundary between black and white has been so blurred since ancient times, Chen Kun pulled Tang Yuan out to relax, and he really didn't want to make some troubles.
The car made a turn, the mountains blocked the warm winter sun, there was still snow that had fallen earlier in the shade where the sun could not shine, and the melted snow condensed into a thick layer of ice in the place where the sun did not shine, and it reflected a trace of strange luster on the road surface, because there were few cars, the maintenance of the years and months was not in place, the ice surface was not even crushed, there were almost no marks of the wheels on the small long slope on the front, but there was a large piece of light reflected by the ice surface, Chen Kun's right hand hung the four-wheel drive on the far right side of the gear lever, and there was no intention of slowing down without stopping, and the body shook slightly, and the sound of the wheels crushing the ice surface came from outside the windowA turn uphill is greeted by the warm winter sun, the sun is just right, the barrier on the side of the road is blooming with pale yellow spring flowers, and there are still a little snow falling on the tender green branches.
The car window is isolated from the cold wind, and the sunlight is projected on the windshield, and then on Chen Kun's body, which makes people feel that the sunlight is just right, and Chen Kun seems to smell the faint fragrance of spring flowers through the window glass.
Walking through the ice and snow road, Chen Kun was slightly deliberate, and said to Tang Yuan in a slightly preachy tone: "Ice and snow roads, just hang four-wheel drive, Mitsubishi's super-selected four-wheel drive is very good, don't brake urgently on icy roads, you will flick your tail." ”
Tang Yuan said a little helplessly: "I know, you have said it several times, you haven't said where we are going?"
Chen Kun smiled awkwardly: "How many times have you really said it?"
Tang Yuan shook a playful roll of his eyes.
"As for where to go, I haven't thought about it, Fangzheng let's go to the northwest, where exactly do we not think, where to go, otherwise let's go to Hoh Xil to have a look? The news says that a new reserve will be established this year, take you to see the Tibetan antelope?"
Tang Yuan rolled her eyes: "You dare to take me out without thinking about it, what do sheep have to see, there are more zoos." ”
Chen Kun laughed: "Didn't you ask me where to go, just left." ”
He shook his head again and said: "It's different, what do the enclosed animals see, let's drive to the no-man's land to see, bears, antelopes, yellow sheep, wild asses or something, you will know when you go." ”
Tang Yuan smiled helplessly: "Do you want to go?"
Chen Kun nodded: "Well, what do you think?"
Tang Yuan smiled sweetly: "Wherever you want to go, I will accompany you wherever you go." ”
Looking at Tang Yuan's sweet smile, Chen Kun's heart was inexplicably warm.
The spring breeze and rain are beautiful in thousands of mountains, and spring has not yet arrived, and the oncoming nature cannot be the willow wind.
After crossing the Yangtze River Bridge, even if it is out of the province, the traffic flow of the two provinces will gradually increase, at this time the north wind mixed with rain and snow is whistling, and from time to time there are ice particles slapping on the car window, crackling.
Tang Yuan also cheered up and helped Chen Kun keep an eye on the road, the Yangtze River has enough water and steam, and rain is a common thing, and it will naturally turn into rain and snow in winter.
At this time, the Three Gorges Dam in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River has just begun to be built, the construction period is expected to be 12 years, the completion time is still very long, the water volume of the Yangtze River basin at this time is very abundant, even the water surface in the dry period in winter is also extremely spectacular, when crossing the Yangtze River Bridge, you can see that the river surface is extremely wide, the river is mighty, the freighter is mixed with scattered small fishing boats, the rain and snow are mixed with the water vapor rising on the river surface, there is a faint mist floating on the water surface, and the distant mountain top and green bamboo are also filled with thick fog, it is "the fog lock mountain head mountain lock fog day and water tail water even the sky" There is a bit of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the freighter whistle that sounded from time to time added a bit of momentum to the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River is naturally extremely imposing, the Yangtze River is upstream between the source and YC City of HB Province, there are many water rapids, between Yichang and the mouth of the lake is the middle reach, the meandering stream is developed, there are many lakes, Poyang Lake is the largest, Dongting Lake is second, below the mouth of the lake is the downstream, the river is wide, and there is Chongming Island formed by the accumulation of water at the mouth of the river.
It's just that the Yangtze River at this time is not the same as the water flow of later generations built by the dam, and the water flow of the Yangtze River after a few years is pitiful, and the water of Poyang Lake has been poured into the Yangtze River more than once in Chen Kun's impression.
Looking at the Yangtze River, Chen Kun naturally thought of Sanjiangyuan, and thought in his heart: "Since I plan to go to Hoh Xili this time, I took advantage of the large swamp frozen in winter, and I just took Tang Yuan to Sanjiangyuan to have a look." ”
At this time, the proposal to find the source of the three rivers had not yet begun, and the nature reserve had not been established, which happened to be the best opportunity for tourists like Chen Kun who could not get a scientific research certificate.
Fortunately, in the wind and snow to go forward a hundred and ten miles, the sun broke through the clouds and showed a smile, the winter day was dark early, a touch of residual sun hung high on the edge of the green hills, the road on both sides of the high metasequoia, these old metasequoia grow extremely tall and mighty, the leaves have already fallen off, the trunk hangs some snowflakes, the brown branches still have some unfinished dead leaves, yellowing and slightly rolling.
Wisps of tender green leaf buds poke out from the white snowflakes, indicating the slow arrival of spring.
Rubbing his eyes, Chen Kun looked at Tang Yuan, who was a little tired, twilight was approaching, and Chen Kun had no intention of driving at night on the first day of going out, so he said to Tang Yuan at the moment: "Let's get off the highway in front, find a place to eat, and live in this city at night, right?"
Tang Yuan was shocked when he heard this: "Okay, I've been hungry for a long time." ”
Chen Kun smiled dotingly, nodded and said, "Okay, eldest lady, think about what you want to eat at night." ”
The car slid into the toll gate, out of the toll station, and came to SZ City after a short section of national highway, at this time SZ City is still a county-level city under Xiangfan, although the city is small but it is the hometown of the extremely famous Yandi Shennong, the hometown of chime bells and ancient music, a famous historical and cultural city, and in Chen Kun's impression, it is still the hometown of the world's four ancient ginkgo communities.
The car slid on the small streets of the county, and the red lanterns on the street lamps on both sides of the road had been hung.
At this time, it was still early, the car passed by a small square, there were a lot of people, and someone had already set up an open-air karaoke on the flat ground in the open air, not a song out of tune, which was also a product of this era, like most video studios in this era, and disappeared in a few years.
There are more people on a small platform surrounded by a circle of people, and there are a lot of people around, Chen Kun stood on the pedal of the car and glanced at it, it was far away, but he couldn't see it really, and he drove away when he thought about it and was still hungry.
Thinking of getting up early tomorrow to save some time, Chen Kun drove the car into the gas station, looked at the two oil prices of more than six cents, Chen Kun arrogantly said to the little girl who was refueling, and Tang Yuan rolled his eyes in exchange for a nouveau riche style, 90 liters of fuel tank, full of less than three hundred yuan, for Chen Kun, who experienced high oil prices, such a cheap oil price does not fill up has a feeling of not being able to feel sorry for himself, although the income has increased several times after a few years, but can no longer find five cents two tea eggs.
I found a hotel where Chen Kun felt pretty good and settled down, but there was only one room, fortunately, there were two beds, seeing that Tang Yuan didn't mind, Chen Kun didn't care, Tang Yuan's boudoir Chen Kun had slept in, and it was not a good thing at the moment, and it was good to have a care for each other.
The waiter led him upstairs, and Chen Kun asked casually: "Eldest sister, I just passed by the square surrounded by a large number of people, why are you so lively?" ”
There is a way that the women in Chudi are more beautiful, and the waiter is a woman in her thirties, with beautiful eyebrows and a bit of posture, and she said with a smile: "You are from out of town, right?
Chen Kun touched his nose and said: "I went to Xiangfan to visit relatives, eldest sister, aren't all Mark Six lottery tickets from Hong Kong? Can you buy them in the mainland? Not a liar, right?"
The waiter took out a piece of paper from his pocket and shook it in front of Chen Kun and said: "How can it be fake, you see, I bought it all, I bought it here and called to bet there, it can't be fake, last month a neighbor of mine won 10,000 yuan for 100 yuan, that's 10,000 yuan." Saying that, the girl's excited face was slightly red, and she felt a little more excited than she had won the lottery.
Chen Kun glanced at it, saw that the paper was poorly printed, smiled and nodded, and stopped speaking.
When he entered the room, Chen Kun turned on the light, picked up a towel and washed his face with cold water, and the fatigue of the day was swept away, and he instantly felt a lot of energy.
When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Tang Yuan standing in front of the window looking outside, through the not too bright neon lights, I could vaguely see a corner of the square on the side of the road, and the back was full of indescribable silence, and I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
After thinking about it, he put the map he took out and put it on the bedside back in his bag, and asked, "Sister Tang Yuan, what's wrong?"
Tang Yuan turned to Chen Kun and said: "Kun, in fact, we also have Mark Six lottery there, they are all deceitful, my father's quartermaster has been deceived, I know many people who have been deceived, Uncle Yang feels that he has figured out a set of plans, always thinking about improving our living environment, and finally was cheated out of the whole army's salary for three months, Kun, Daddy finally ordered Uncle Yang to be shot with tears, this matter has been depressed in Daddy's heart, Kunzi, don't believe this." ”
He was a little lonely and said: "In a month, it will be Daddy's death day, Kun, I miss my father." ”
Chen Kun is a little speechless, this year the information is not smooth, a trick of deception is used in a different way, resulting in the streets and alleys are full of swaggering scammers, all kinds of tricks emerge in endlessly, Mark Six lottery is a very typical example, almost deceived all over the country, how many people are bankrupt and ruined, the mastermind caught and released, released and caught, law enforcement ability is not strong is also an extremely important problem.
This was the national situation at that time, but Chen Kun couldn't do it, after thinking about it, putting down the national map in his hand, Chen Kun patted his thigh and said: "Let's go, Sister Tang Yuan, I invite you to eat well, by the way, I brought a pot of wine in the car, ten years of Qingming wine." ”
Tang Yuan smiled slightly: "What do you mean by looking for me to drink?"
Chen Kun looked at Tang Yuan with burning eyes, and smiled: "I have a pot of wine." ”
Tang Yuan smiled slightly, and responded with a smart look in his eyes: "It's enough to comfort the wind and dust." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled with great tacit understanding, and Tang Yuan said, "Let's go." ”
