At the beginning of November, when the north had entered a cold winter with decaying vegetation, the first batch of Chinese technicians from the steel plant to go to the monkey country cooperation project set off.
Li Deyuan and his group did not wait for the monkeys who went to the capital for training to come back, but a group of 11 people went to the project cooperation site to do preliminary preparations, and the blast furnace and other equipment to be sold to the monkey country are still being disassembled, and it is expected to be shipped to the port for loading in January.
In the report written by the people who were sent to investigate before, the local climate and environment and other characteristics were pointed out, and the northerners were estimated to be unaccustomed to the water and soil, so the main factory decided to send a team to go over and plan a living area for the Chinese personnel with the monkey side, which was convenient for centralized management and beneficial to long-term work.
The deputy factory-level leader who led the team walked by plane, and Li Deyuan and his little soldiers were naturally treated as a train hard sleeper. Wearing a coat on the train, to Wuhan coat can not be worn, and when you arrive at the end of Nanning Station, simply wear a shirt to get off the car, the temperature of 267 degrees is very comfortable.
The train from the capital to Hanoi is an international intermodal service, and it goes directly to the capital of the monkey country on Monday and Friday. Ning had to stop for a few hours, and he didn't pay attention when he got on the train, and Li Deyuan found that there was a national emblem the size of a basin on each carriage on the platform.
The advance team of their group of steel factories and more than a dozen passengers who were going to the monkey country did not leave the station with the flow of people who got off the train, but underwent the first exit inspection on the platform, and the customs, police, and railways jointly wore uniforms and compared the passports, certification letters, letters of introduction, and other relevant documents and documents of these people who went to the monkey country one by one.
After the inspection of the steel plant, it was active in a separate area marked out on the platform, with a small waiting room, and a table tennis case, which was depressing because there were only rackets and no balls! Looking for a sister in a railway uniform in the waiting room to ask for a ball, the girl turned over for a long time and finally said very shyly: "The ball is gone, I haven't bought it yet." ”
When I was notified to get on the train, there were about five cars left, a soft sleeper car and two hard sleeper cars, plus a dining car or something. Ningshi, I didn't see the outline of a city in a lot of lights, which is a little regrettable.
When it was almost midnight, the car stopped, and a joint team in uniform came to check passports, documents, tickets, etc., and told Li Deyuan that they should not sleep, and they would go to the border in a while, and they were ready to change cars.
The car drove much slower than ever, and when it stopped again, I could see clearly through the dim light on the platform that it was "by virtue of?" Xiang" stop sign, three steps one five steps one, the platform is full of martial arts? The police and the police, there is no longer the most ordinary wagons selling things at domestic stations.
The conductor told the people on the train one by one that they should stay on the bunk without walking around, and sure enough, the joint uniform team came to check the documents again, and this time they also used a flashlight to shake the photos and faces on the passports one by one, plus the martial arts with real guns outside? Police, make everyone nervous, this is really going abroad.
Li Deyuan's heart was beating quite fast, and he was inexplicably hot, and he wanted to pull up the window and ask the little soldier below, is there a bullet in the gun? But before he could act, the conductor closed the curtains with a bang.
The car started slowly, the big guys are going abroad for the first time, the train sat down for a day and a night, although it was a sleeper, it was also very tired, but this time it was a night train, and the curtains were drawn and I couldn't see the outside, and one by one I was very excited, and this sleeper car was Li Deyuan and their ten people, and asked the conductor, saying that it would take more than two hours to stop, so they simply played poker and got up.
Only Li Deyuan did not participate in the noisy crowd, he stood at the car window, through the gap in the curtains, staring at the dark night outside the window, his heart churned, a kind of unknown thirst for the future could not help but make him restless.
I don't know how long it took, there was a shaking of the clang, the train entered the station, and the conductor came to inform everyone to get off the train and not to leave any items, then I realized that I was going to change the car and enter the monkey country.
Is this the same? Boarding the station, this place is already the boundary of the monkey country, a three-story small building is wrapped in yellow lights and cannot see the original color of the building, and the passengers who get off the train have to gather here to pass the customs.
In the south. When Ning got out of the car and waited, the people who went to the monkey country were basically familiar with each other, except for Li Deyuan and them, there were more than a dozen Chinese travelers, five white-skinned foreigners, all guessed that these foreigners were old Maozi, and everyone nodded to each other, which was regarded as a greeting.
In the designated hall to line up to get the form and fill out the form, pay the medical examination fee, and then sit on the bench and wait, almost no one spoke, the whole process is also very simple, the staff of the monkey country I saw, all of them were listless, and they were waiting to send the gang back to sleep in the middle of the night.
And Li Deyuan and his group have joined another guy here, Monkey Guotai? The former steel factory sent to pick up the station, introduced himself as a translator, surnamed Li, this time Li Deyuan did not call people Ah Li or anything, and the local custom was called Mr. Li.
Mr. Li and Ah Huang are obviously much less talkative, and their attitude is also very cold, they are smiling when they talk to you, and when they turn their faces, their faces are the same as rubber. The roof of this hall is very high, and there are not many people who are deserted, and a chill gradually comes through.
Li Deyuan: They all thought that this was getting hotter the further south they went, in the south? Ning got out of the car and wore a shirt, but it would be obviously cold goosebumps on the back of the spine, cold and cold, asked Mr. Na Li, and replied without saltiness: "It is now the rainy season has just ended, the dry season has not yet begun, the day is hot and the night is cold." ”
Fortunately, they are all trains on the coat, the fur coat and down jacket do not need to be turned out, and the sweater is still effective, but after a while, these northern men found that wearing sweaters does not work, this kind of cold is different from the dry cold in the north, and it can't be carried!
In the winter of the north, the wind blows against the ground, and the exposed skin is a stinging feeling, but as long as there is food in the stomach, the cold feels blocked from the skin, and at this moment on the border of the monkey country, before the official step in, this kind of penetrating chill will give everyone a dismount.
I finally waited for the notice to get on the train, and sure enough, it was replaced by a smaller train than the train I took when I came, and the carriage was obviously smaller in size, Li Deyuan and Mr. Li accosted each other, and they said that this was a narrow-gauge train, and it was a railway line left by the French, so before entering the monkey country, it was necessary to change the train.
The soft sleeper car is really not flattering, it is very simple, the most strange thing is that there is only a pillow without any cover, thanks to the fact that everyone is wearing a coat, it is a night shift to wear a coat and nap, there are two guys with liquor in their bags, and the customs of the monkey country did not fall, and ten people took turns to blow the bottle, let Mr. Li take a look, this guy smelled the smell of the special liquor, and resolutely pushed it.
After a few sips of liquor, his body warmed up, his bones were itchy, the narrow-gauge train was swaying, and he couldn't sleep well, Li Deyuan saw that it was almost dawn outside, so he simply sat up and watched the scenery.
By the same? Climb to the river? The inner part of the road is almost entirely in the mountains, and the hills that are tightly wrapped in the jungle are rarely rocky, and as far as the eye can see, the high and low are all the kind of emerald green, occasionally flashing a puddle of white, and the water is calm.
The leaves outside the window were like mats stretched out, almost clinging to the train, and before I could see the veins on the leaves, the train was like rushing into the sky in an instant, and the jungle was looming in the clouds and mist, and the iron bridge was stirred by the passing wheels to make a rhythmic sound of clicking, and the clouds covering the valley were almost awakened by the sound, and drifted slightly.
When the fields appeared like glass windows that had been divided, the thin clouds in the sky had been rendered by the rising sun like a newly rendered red veil, the high and low houses replaced the green mountains, and small white figures wearing hats flashed in the fields.
Li Deyuan is still intoxicated with this exotic scenery like a child who has discovered the New World, Mr. Li came out of nowhere and told the big guy to pack his luggage, river? The inner is coming.
