Xiaoping Town is called a paradise by the locals, because entering Xiaoping Town must pass through a natural karst cave up to 800 meters, there is a Yin River in the cave, the bottom is not visible, only the sound of water is heard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe small stream that runs through the town from east to west flows from the Yin River.

The two ends of this hole are spacious, the middle is narrow, the middle can only be used for a passenger car to pass, it is to set up cards at both ends outside the hole, and the vehicles here are allowed to go that side. Although there are more than a dozen lights in the cave but the visibility is poor, the left side of the terrain is high is the passage, the right side is the Yin River, the protective embankment on the side of the passage is said to be built after the liberation, before the liberation, people often have to stumble and fall down the Yin River incident when they walk through the hole.

Gu Yongjun carried Jianxin and Aimin, and Cat Ear carried Tu Bamei and Chunfang, and several people rode all the way to the entrance of the cave without seeing the fifth child. Jianxin went to the card to inquire, and the person on duty said that he didn't pay attention to whether a few children had entered the hole. After a brief discussion, the men decided to walk through the cave, which was close to dusk, with less visibility and owls and bats in the cave at night.

"They are just a few children, and they are still taking Sissy, it is impossible for them to run outside the cave, right? It's such a long way. After entering the cave, Jianxin questioned it.

Tu Ba Mei hated the old five teeth, she said: "We didn't see them all the way down below, didn't the old sentry say that they saw them coming to the cave?" Hurry through the hole to find it before it's dark, don't talk nonsense, make your heart go up and down. ”

The group continued to move forward, and on the road at the other end of the cave, Lao Wu carried Gu Xi on his back, with a schoolbag hanging from his neck, and four girls accompanied him. Walking to the T-junction in front, several people were dumbfounded.

There are terraces in front, asphalt roads on the left, and cement roads on the right. Which way are we going? ”

"Don't make a noise, I'll think about it." The fifth child looked around and left, and his heart was a mess. It was the first time she walked out of the cave and out of the town, before she thought that Hong Kong was close at hand.

"Fifth sister, I want to go home, I miss my mother." Gu Xi's voice brought out a crying voice.

"When I get to Hong Kong, I'll buy you a lot of delicious food and beautiful clothes, and I'll buy them for my mother." Lao Wu coaxed her and said.

Twelve-year-old Gu Donglian stood at the T-junction and didn't know where to go, she didn't know at this moment that fate would push her to this T-junction again twelve years later, making her face a difficult choice again.

"Go this way." After some consideration, Lao Wu's chin turned a little to the left, because she felt that the asphalt road looked more advanced than the cement road, and she analyzed that Hong Kong should be on the high-end side.

The fifth oldest of the several people, in order to take care of the younger sister below, she and the sixth were both eight years old when they were studying. After deciding on the way to go, she bent her waist down slightly, arched Gu Xi on her back, and then encouraged her companions, "Hong Kong is in front, it will be there soon, work hard, follow me." ”

"How far is it......" After walking for a while, a fat girl couldn't walk, and the tall girl before asked Lao Wu, "Gu Donglian, you said that Hong Kong is full of gold, is it true?" Lao Wu was very dissatisfied with her questioning, "Of course it's true!" When we arrived in Hong Kong, we no longer had to study, and we didn't have to be afraid of exams. Not only is there gold everywhere, but the trees are also full of eggs, which can be picked with a stretch of hand, and you are not human! ”

Further ahead is Tianwan Town, which is also a town, but Tianwan Town and Xiaoping Town are not the same. Because Xiaoping Town is located in an arsenal, there are college students assigned by the factory every year, so Xiaoping Town is more like a condensed version of a small city, and the town's people's clothing taste and building facilities are not comparable to other surrounding towns.

Tin Wan Town is full of low-rise houses as far as the eye can see, and it is more than 108,000 miles away from the dream of Hong Kong, just like being in the countryside. In disappointment, a younger girl couldn't help crying, and as soon as she cried, Gu Xi's "wow" also cried.

At this time, the twilight was falling, and there was no end in sight, and the fifth child began to panic a little in her heart, she raised her eyes while coaxing Gu Xi.

There was a brick house on the side of the road in front, and a simple shed was set up at the door, and half a rag curtain was hung on the shed, and there were faint people inside. The tall girl instigated the fifth child to inquire, and the fifth child led the crying Gu Xi over, and looked into the curtain, where a peasant woman sat in front of the stove with her back to them and bowed her head to add firewood to the stove. Lao Wu smelled the sweet potato in her nose, and her stomach, which was already tired of eating sweet potatoes, began to squirm, and she was so hungry that she was so hungry that she was close to her back after walking such a long way.

"Auntie." Lao Wu swallowed his saliva, "Do you know how far Hong Kong is?" ”

The peasant woman turned her head with a confused expression (note: ignorance).

The fifth child turned back to his friends in frustration and returned in vain.

"Fifth sister, I'm hungry ......" Gu Xi cried for his mother first, which would cry and cry out for hunger.

Lao Wu and her friends discussed using books to exchange sweet potatoes with peasant women, and she mobilized them to stop reading anyway after going to Hong Kong, so it was useless for them to take out the books in their schoolbags as waste paper and exchange them for peasant women.

"What about yours?" The fat girl asked the fifth, "Aren't you changing your books?" ”

Lao Wu reached out to pull the strap of her schoolbag, and his mouth was straightforward: "We can't change it all at once, we will exchange your first, and Hong Kong will have to walk for a day to arrive." ”

Her own books don't move to change someone else's, the fat girl is not happy to pull the strap of her schoolbag, the fifth child is angry, pulls the strap of someone's schoolbag in front of her, and at the same time reaches out and pushes her, and threatens her, "If you don't give it, I won't take you to Hong Kong." ”

"Woo woo......" the fat girl cried as she tugged at the strap of her school bag.

"Forget it, let's go back......" The tall girl retreated, and the other two looked at the fifth child with a hesitant look on their faces.

Lao Wu pointed to the tall girl who proposed to go back, "You are shaking the morale of the army, I shouldn't have taken you out if I knew it!" ”

The girl and the fifth child quarreled, and when they quarreled, Gu Xi cried even more fiercely, and the other girl with a crying face was also making a fuss, and Gu Yongjun's voice came faintly.

Gu Xi's crying stopped, and he raised his teary eyes to look at the road - in the twilight, Gu Yongjun pedaled towards them.

"Eldest sister, woo woo......" Gu Xi broke free from the fifth child and ran towards her desperately.

"Don't run, beware of falling......" Gu Yongjun was so anxious that he kicked a few feet, and when she was about to get to her, she jumped out of the car, Gu Xi ran over crying and hugged her thighs tightly, crying a lot. Don't cry, don't cry, go home with the eldest sister. Gu Yongjun picked up Gu Xi in one hand and put it in front of the car and let her sit sideways, "Eldest sister will take you home, don't cry." ”

"Big sister." Lao Wu hooked his head and came over, Gu Yongjun pushed her angrily, "I'm too lazy to talk to you now, just wait to go back and see how Mom cleans you up!" ”
