60. "Primitive Society"

Unfortunately, the car happened to go up to the top of Daqing Mountain, and a snowstorm fell from the sky, and large snowflakes rushed towards it like cotton balls, and the visibility was less than 20 meters on the rugged winding mountain road. The road under the car is the ice formed by the melting snow and water from the exhaust fumes of the car, the wind and snow raging in the air, and the abyss is less than a few meters under your feet.

The bus struggled to move forward in trembling and swaying, and if you were not careful, you would fall into the abyss. The hearts of the people in the car were raised in their throats, and they clung to the handles of the front seats, their eyes fixed on the front of the car.

Regardless of the wind and snow in front of Bai Huahua, the conductor opened the door and stood at the door, directing the driver's direction.

The bus is like an elephant climbing a cliff, trembling and crawling like an ant.

The driver was sweating profusely on a cold day.

After walking a few hundred meters, the driver slowly stopped the car in a slightly open place, wiped the sweat on his head with a pair of black gloves on his hands, and said: "Everyone get out of the car and walk down this steep slope first, this slope is too steep, the road is slippery, and the weight of the car is easy to slide down the roadbed." For the sake of insurance, you first walk down the steep slope of more than ten miles, I slowly drove the car down the top of the mountain, there is a sheltered place at the top of the mountain, where the snowstorm will be much smaller, you wait for me there, and then get in the car and go. ”

Everyone got out of the car with the old and the young, and the oncoming snowstorm hit people who couldn't open their eyes. All around is a white expanse, and you can only see the road a few steps away in front of you. A few young people led the way, and each one held hands and walked slowly.

There was an old woman who was very old, everyone persuaded her to sit in the car, she refused to live or die, she had to go by herself, and the son next to her was also a half-old man fifty miles away, trembling and helping the old man to move forward.

The driver looked at the white sky, smoked a cigarette, hit the car, and slid slowly, and no one on the bus was going fast.

During this period, the people of several buses also got off the bus and walked, the cars going up the mountain stopped at the bottom of the mountain and did not go up the mountain, and the cars going down the mountain all put down the passengers and drove slowly empty.

Halfway up the hill bike is parked along the way.

Not far away, a small van overturned into a deep ditch, and the guardrail of the stone pillar on the side of the road was broken, and the car overturned into the bottomless abyss. The people who saw it next to him were terrified and helpless.

In the early 90s, people didn't know what a mobile phone was, and they couldn't call 110 to call the police, so they had to wait for the car down the mountain to arrive in Wuchuan before they could notify the relevant departments to save people. The hope of surviving if you fall is slim, not to mention the beating of the abyss, even the temperature of minus twenty or thirty degrees will kill the injured in an instant.

The snow is falling, and the car and people can be buried deep in a while, and there is a white expanse everywhere, where can you find a trace?

In addition, the road conditions and weather conditions in the mountains also made rescue efforts difficult.

Just as Shandan was slowly walking down the hill with a carload of people, a police car was heading against the wind with its lights flashing.

Everyone said it might be to save the van that was coming down the mountain.

After many hardships and dangers, Shandan finally arrived at school at sunset.

The classmates in the dormitory hadn't come yet, so Shandan made the beds and books, took out the twist flowers and baked cakes and snacks that his mother had brought, went to the boiling water room to fetch a pot of boiling water, and ate dinner on the spot.

She grabbed her toiletries and went to the school's big bathhouse to take a hot bath, so that she could wash away the dirt and dead skin of the winter, and the lifeless gloom.

The temperature on the banks of the Mongolian Plateau is not high all year round, and the temperature does not exceed 30 degrees Celsius in summer and August, and a person does not sweat as much in a year as a southerner in a day.

Therefore, the Mongolian highlanders never bathe. Before Grandpa Tie Dan'er, a person took a bath three times in his life: once on the ground, once at the wedding ceremony, and once at the world.

Everyone's head is not washed, neither male nor female.

A woman's long braid is combed once a few days, first combed with a horn comb, and then combed with a basket to remove the parasitic lice on the head, and the children and grandchildren of the lice are called lice, a piece of white flowers, all lying on the hair, can not be combed down at all, and the basket can not be removed, and will soon mature into lice that will suck blood, so a woman will fight with lice and lice in her life.

Hair is oily like a brush that has just been dipped in ink, and once you brush your hands, it will be greasy to the point of stickiness.

A cleaner woman will use water to sip her hair, and a sloppy woman will use her own saliva to soak, and her oily and shiny hair will be attached to her scalp neatly, looking clean and neat, but she doesn't know that it is the real gold and jade.

The traditional custom of the people of the Mongolian Plateau is that the body hair and skin come from the essence and blood of their parents, and they do not cut their hair in their lives, and the women of all ages have long hair, the young ones have a long braid, and the old people have a big bun coiled in the back.

If you don't take a bath, you don't wash your hair, and your clothes are naturally not washed. Besides, most of the people are wearing old sheepskin jackets and leather trousers, some with hair facing inside and some hair facing out, no matter how they are worn, of course, they have not to be washed.

A person has a few clothes in his life, and it is conceivable whether it is the base camp of small creatures?

When Shandan was very young, he went to his grandmother's house and saw his mother scratching lice on his shirt and sweatshirt for his grandfather.

My mother and a few aunts used a rolling pin to roll out their undershirts on the kang table, and they heard the sound of "beep horn", which dared to be comparable to the strings of cheap firecrackers set off during the Spring Festival.

Although Shandan also washed his hair when he was a child, he was naturally surrounded by lice, and his mother used a bowl of water to give Shandan and Erlian a bowl of water at a sky-high price, and the lice fell into the bowl, like a chicken falling into a pond, and slowly died in the constant fluttering.

At that time, pig pancreas was used to wash hair, that is, the pig's pancreas and a small comb were used to grind it until it became a pancreas that could be washed.

The family kills a pig at most during the New Year, so there is only a piece of pancreas for the family, and no one is willing to waste it, so the children take turns to wash their heads once a few months with pancreas, and they usually keep it like a baby.

The matter of bathing began after the reform and opening up, and under the vigorous preaching of the township health workers who went to the villages and households, people began to realize the importance of hygiene to human health. The point is that there is no room that can be used for bathing, and there is no tap to get water from the sewer.

So, according to local conditions, each family bought a big zinc iron basin, added half a basin of hot water to sit in to wash, and the rest of the family went out, leaving only one bather at home, drawing the curtains and locking the door. When they started to take a shower, they were too shy to look at their bodies, as if they had snooped on some secret that they shouldn't see.

Gradually, everyone is also used to taking a bath after a while, the water is groundwater, inexhaustible, and the days are slowly getting better, and everyone has soap, shower gel, and shampoo.

With the improvement of hygiene, the small creatures that have eroded the people of the Mongolian plateau for many years have gradually become extinct.

After Shandan went to university, he went to a public bathhouse for the first time to take a bath, and he almost died of shame!

She followed a classmate to the bathhouse, looked at the naked women, panicked and blushed.

Seeing that everyone was calmly busy with each other, and no one paid attention to her, Shandan slowly took off his clothes and found a secluded corner to wash with a towel.

In the middle of the bathhouse is a large pool of five meters long, bubbling with white gas, oxygen is obviously not enough, and there is a circle of people around to scrub and wash, and each person has a basin from the pool to scoop water out of the pool.

There were two shower halts in the corners, and the water was pouring straight down, and a group of people were huddled into a pile to grab the water.

Shandan looked at the scene where everyone was fighting for me, and felt very ridiculous.

A layer of mud was rubbed off the bodies of seemingly beautiful women! Roll of mud spun and fell to the ground, and the water on the ground washed the dark gray concrete floor covered with layers of human skin.

Today, Shandan is just as comfortable in and out of the school's only public bathhouse. Two cents at a time, wash once a month. Every time you take a bath, the refreshment of the body will bring physical and mental pleasure to Shandan.
