430. Rebirth

In August, the Mongolian Plateau has a pleasant climate when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the sun on the plateau is no longer so blazing, but the heat is gentle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The autumn breeze is cool, and the sky is high and the clouds are light. This season is the best time of the year in the riverbank grassland, and every autumn afternoon, Shandan, who has returned to his hometown, will follow his mother into the fields to see the fruitful crops, feel the joy of harvest, and the freedom of the high ground that day.

Shandan has been studying, since going to university, the opportunity to return to the grassland in the autumn is becoming less and less, and the occasional return to the hometown must be in a hurry, and it is not easy to have leisure time to feel this freedom and leisure.

Now back to her hometown and the grassland, but carrying the fatal pain, she silently walked out of the house alone, pacing to the large field in front of the village, the sunflowers all over the mountains and fields shook their heads proudly in the autumn wind.

After the land contract, the farmers' enthusiasm for production has increased significantly, but the Mongolian Plateau is an arid zone, coupled with overgrazing and man-made land reclamation in previous years, the natural environment is getting worse and worse. Relying on the sky for food could no longer satisfy people's desire for land, and the sky could not bring rain, so everyone began to consider the use of groundwater, so the well drilling team appeared.

On the dry riverbed, wells more than 50 zhang deep are one after another, and the engines of four-wheeled vehicles "rumble" day and night to pump groundwater for irrigation. The groundwater level of the riverbank grassland has increased from the original number of zhang deep to more than ten zhang deep today.

But farmers and herders only know that the depth required to drill wells is getting deeper and deeper, but they do not understand that the water level has dropped seriously due to the uncontrolled pumping of water day and night.

The blue sky, the white clouds, and a neatly arranged flock of geese flew across the sky between the clouds, occasionally making one or two calls for relatives and friends.

Even the geese know that Qiu Shen needs to return to the beautiful and warm south, but, Autumn Breeze Xiao Xiao, my beloved, where are you?

Letting the tears flow down her cheeks, she walked onto the fields and meadows they had walked together.

All the good things of the past are still clearly presented in the memory, and that lovely person can never come back. The road ahead, only her thin and lonely figure remains.

She looked up at the sky from time to time, hoping that in that mysterious and distant place, there was her lover, who could sense her longing and reluctance.

However, everything is irretrievable and powerless. At this clear point in time and space, her mind and consciousness were clear, and she understood that all pain and sorrow were useless and useless. But how can I not be sad?! She was so helpless and helpless.

The mother sat on the big kang at home, looking at the child in the field in front of the door, she did not leave the lonely and sad figure of Shandan at a glance, the vitality and vitality have been withdrawn from the child, she knew that the child was so hard to calm her sorrow, strengthen her nerves without putting pressure on her parents and relatives, but how could she not understand the pain of the child? She also knew that it took time to wash away the pain, to give the child time to relieve the sorrow, no one can help the child, only she herself can slowly resolve the pain of the broken intestines.

Erlian couldn't help but go out and walked silently towards her sister, this person who has always been strong and capable, what kind of sad situation is she in now?

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Shandan knew that it must be his sister who didn't feel at ease to come to see her.

Wiping the tears from his face, Shandan didn't look back. Erlian walked beside her, "Sister, you have to think about it, don't hold it in your heart, you're afraid that your body will get sick, you can cry if you want to cry, you can say it if you want to say it, don't care about other people's opinions, I know you have to spill out those sadness and pour out the bitterness in your heart." ”

"Alas, it's useless to cry and laugh, I can't collapse, I still have Xiaoyu to raise, and my parents need to support the elderly. I can't be so selfish and only care about me, you see that Da is as sad as my mother, I can't give them peace of mind when they are old and old. My original intention was to wait for us to get better, and then to draw you together to make things better. Alas, people are not as good as heaven, and this wish may not come true, but I must not be a burden to your difficult life, and I must not add another burden to your elderly parents. Believe me, my sister is still the sister who can't be defeated. Shandan barely smiled.

"Sister, I believe in you!" Erlian cried.

"It's okay, cross the river and take off the shoe, if you can't die, you can live well." Shandan sighed.

"You still have ours, our days are slowly getting better, we will help you raise Xiaoyu, don't worry too much. Erlian took her sister's hand and cried.

"Let's walk along the river, we haven't had a chance to walk the way we did when we were children in years. It's not the same as when we were kids, you can see that the river is dry, the grass is sandy, and there are no more birds or animals. Shandan deliberately diverted the topic, and his sister's own life was also very difficult, people in their early thirties had wrinkles, their skin was swarthy under the scorching sun on the plateau, and they were 1.7 meters tall, so thin that a gust of wind could blow them away.

Erlian is also extremely filial to her parents, pulling two dolls alone, without money, raising a few sheep for daily expenses. But every time the New Year is celebrated, I must come to help my mother clean up, and buy all the physical objects for the New Year's festival for my parents.

Shandan felt very distressed about his sister, and he wanted to get better, so he lured his sister out of the land and came to the city to do some small business or something, and he would no longer be so guilty. It seems that it is also difficult, her heart is full of guilt and pity, how can she add more burden to her sister who is already sorrowful? She would rather bear all the pain by herself.

The dry riverbed is full of rocks and piles of mud dug out of wells, much like the homes of marmots, and the riverside is covered with cans of artemisia, which grows in an extremely dry environment, and has a smell of artemisia, which is not eaten by livestock, and grows lush and green, which seems to add a little vitality to the bare riverbed.

The wilderness by the river is full of black plastic film that flies in the wind, which is the mulch that is covered on the cultivated land in order to preserve water when sunflowers are planted in the spring, and the ones fly like monsters in a disaster movie.

The two of them slowly walked towards the reservoir and the small dam, which was once the place full of mystery and wealth when they were children.

Walk through a small forest and see a small dam that is already overgrown with weeds. Climb up to the reservoir dam, the dam is still there, but it has lost its function of storing water, and besides, the Mongolian plateau does not get a few rains a year, where does the water come from to fill the reservoir? The dry reservoir is full of crops, and it seems that the crops are growing well.
