After the meal, Uncle Gu sat under the big tree and told everyone the story of his broken leg.

Many years ago, Uncle Gu participated in the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and it was also during the tunnel blasting that a collapse accident occurred. But that landslide was different from this one, and all that fell was rock. Uncle Gu was lucky enough to pick up a life, but one of his legs was broken by a stone.

After hearing this, Shanhe sighed that building a railway is not an easy task, not only to pay a lot of money, but also to pay a lot of labor. Everyone, whether an engineer or an ordinary railroad worker, had to leave their homeland, be separated from their loved ones for a long time, and come to a completely unfamiliar place where bridges and roads were built.

However, when the railway is completed and opened to traffic, when people enjoy the convenience brought by the road, how many people can think of the track under the train, how many people's hard work and sweat were built?

In the past, when science and technology were not developed enough and technology was not mature enough, the paving of every road meant the sacrifice of life. Every unforeseen accident threatens to bury a soul that can't return home.

As Uncle Gu was talking, he turned to the earliest railway in Heting County, which was the earliest railway in western China - the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

More than 100 years ago, the French government built this narrow-gauge railway in China, with a gauge of one meter and a total length of 468 kilometers. In that distant era, this meter rail was forged from a lot of white bones, a sleeper a life, a road nail and a drop of blood. At the time, the project was called one of the three most arduous projects in human history, and the French government announced that the death toll of the railway was 12,000, while the civil statistics were as high as 70,000.

More than 100 years later, this meter track has completely withdrawn from the stage of history and has become an indelible memory of the local people.

For locals like Shanhe, the affection for this meter track is profound. When she was young, her mother once took her to the provincial capital on a meter-gauge train. When she grew up a little, the meter-gauge train completely stopped operating, and Heting County became a place where there was a railway but no trains.

How many times, she still wants to take the meter-gauge train again, staggering through the green mountains and green waters, and take a look at the unique herringbone bridge that has experienced a hundred years of wind and frost, but in the end a qiē can only become a thought.

After Uncle Gu finished speaking, Shanhe felt as if he had a dream for a long time. I don't know if I miss the old meter gauge, or the years when my mother took her on the meter gauge train when I was young.

The worker who received the lunch box shouted "Who else did you have a lunch box that you haven't handed over?" If you don't hand it over, you won't have anything to eat tomorrow! ”

The project department requires the workers to wash their lunch boxes after eating, and then recycle them and send them to the bottom of the mountain.

Han Qianqian hates washing lunch boxes, before she came to Heting, where did she need to do this kind of rough work? Not only are the living conditions here very poor, but the food is not good, if it weren't for Jiangyu's presence, she probably would have run away a long time ago. At that moment, she couldn't help but say, "Why do you have to wash the lunch box?" Isn't it labor-saving and convenient to use disposable lunch boxes directly? ”

When Uncle Gu heard this, he immediately showed a little disdain, but he didn't show it too obviously.

Shanhe answered: "Because disposable lunch boxes are not environmentally friendly!" Workers have been living in the mountains, and if they use disposable lunch boxes every day, they will definitely leave a lot of lunch boxes in the mountains, and they will pollute the environment. ”

Han Qianqian sighed and gave Shanhe a cold look, "I didn't ask you again, what do you have to say?" ”

Shanhe shrugged, too lazy to see Han Qianqian, a woman with low eyes. Although Han Qianqian's action of chasing Jiangyu despite a qiē was very admirable to her, it was really flattering in other aspects.

Han Qianqian posted to Jiangyu again and said affectionately: "Ayu, how convenient a disposable lunch box is, and it's not expensive." ”

Jiang Yu avoided Han Qianqian's body without a trace, and said indifferently: "Miss Han, Shanhe has already answered your question." ”

Shanhe raised his eyebrows slightly, yo, this product actually called her Shanhe directly, not Miss Shan? Could it be because she called him Jiangyu before, so he still exchanged courtesies?

Han Qianqian was blocked back by Jiang Yu's words, and her face was a little unbearable, so she could only laugh dryly. While others were not paying attention, Han Qianqian glared at Shanhe suspiciously.

Uncle Gu smiled slightly and said slowly: "The Menghe Railway is located in the Ailao Mountains of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which is mainly composed of four major landform types: mountain ranges, karst plateaus, intermountain basins and river valleys. Due to the collision and extrusion of the Indian plate, the crustal uplift and river erosion are strong, and the terrain is undulating, forming a topographic feature dominated by high mountains and deep valleys and between mountains and rivers. In Heting County, the vegetation is dominated by tropical rainforest, river valley rainforest and rubber forest, with a forest coverage rate of more than 50%. We build railways with hard environmental protection targets, which do not destroy the water sources of rivers in the tropical rainforest, destroy forests, and leave residue and white pollution. ”

Shanhe's heart was boiling with enthusiasm, and his admiration for Uncle Gu and his railway engineers was raised to a new level.

Jiangyu said lightly: "The road is built to benefit the local people, not to destroy the mountains and rivers on which they depend." Mountains and rivers, do you say yes? He looked up, suddenly, and looked at her with a smirk.

Mountains and rivers: "......"

Why did she think his eyes were a little weird?

In the evening, Shanhe finally returned to the station of the project department.

The two old oxen had been slaughtered, the beef had been cleaned and ready, and when it was dark, all the workers came down to feast them on roast cows.

Summer is coming, and it's getting dark very late. It wasn't until nine o'clock that it was completely dark.

Several bonfires have been lit in the clearing, and more than 100 railway workers from the Heting section have gathered here, munching on roast beef and drinking cold beer around the fire.

The red fire light is reflected on everyone's face, warm and harmonious, casual and comfortable.

Uncle Ming and Ah Yong's roasted beef were brought over on a large plate, and beef bone soup was boiled, and the workers all showed happy smiles while eating and drinking.

Shanhe sat by the fire in a daze, from time to time with a long pair of tongs to pluck the burning firewood, sparks splashed, flickering and dimming, like stars shining in the night sky, and the fire made a beeping sound.

There were suddenly two more skewers of grilled beef in front of her, and the fat beef sprinkled with chili peppers and sauce was still bubbling on the surface, shiny, and full of aroma, obviously freshly roasted beef, which made people appetize at first glance.

As soon as Shanhe turned around, he saw Jiang Yu's face, and the beef skewers were handed to her by him.

"Thank you." Shanhe did not refuse, and took the beef skewers and feasted on them.

Jiang Yu also sat down beside her, picked up the tongs she had just held, and fetched firewood for her.

The beef skewers are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy and delicious, and the mountains and rivers are full of oil, and they feel that they are not enjoyable.

Jiang Yu saw that she didn't have enough to eat, so she got up and took five strings and handed them to her.

Shanhe raised his eyebrows, this guy is so attentive, I'm afraid it's still for the sake of re-ordering! She didn't break it either, and continued to eat meat. When she finished eating, she found that Jiang Yu's eyes had been staring at her. Under the light of the fire, his expression was much gentler than usual, and he no longer looked like a cold-faced Yama. This kind of Jiangyu seems to have a little more human touch.

"What are you looking at?" She touched her face, "Something on my face?" ”

Jiang Yu took out a tissue and reached out to wipe the oil from her mouth.

Shanhe was startled and avoided his hand.

"Don't move." He frowned, and inexplicably there was an irresistible momentum.

Shanhe's whole body suddenly froze, and he watched him wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth for himself. Shanhe felt that this kind of Jiangyu was too strange, which made her very uncomfortable. Isn't it just about re-ordering? He really took a hard time.

Shanhe was about to speak, when the sound of guitar playing suddenly sounded in the clearing. She was taken aback, and turned her head to look with everyone, and saw Tang Xu sitting outside the simple room, holding a guitar in his hand, and a microphone and megaphone beside him.

"Hey, hey." Tang Xu tested the volume of the microphone and said into the microphone: "Next, I will play a few songs for you." ”

Tang Xu plucked the strings, and the song "Those Flowers" flowed out from his fingertips.

"Wow! Tang Xu can also play the guitar. Shanhe was really taken aback, he didn't expect Tang Xu to play so well.

Jiang Yu said "um", "Tang Xu's guitar is very good, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he wanted to form a band with his friends to develop musically, but unfortunately his mother disagreed." ”

While speaking, Tang Xu had already opened his mouth to sing: "That laughter reminds me of my flowers, which are quietly blooming for me in every corner of my life." I thought I would always be by her side, but today we are gone. ”

His voice is pure and clear, and the treble section is a little hoarse, which is somewhat similar to Pu Shu's voice.

Shanhe looked at the others, and everyone put down the beer in their hands, stopped talking loudly, and quietly immersed themselves in the music, and a look of intoxication gradually appeared on their faces.

Such a beautiful night.

Such a clear starry sky.

Stars, campfires, beer, music, fireflies, just the right mix of them create a magical power that is enough to make one's heart tranquil and peaceful.

"Lalala, I miss her...... Is she still open...... They have been blown away by the wind and scattered to the ends of the earth......" The song continues.

Ami looked at Tang Xu in front of her with an obsessive expression, her eyes shining with admiration.

The amorous and romantic music genius was once a beautiful dream in the minds of many girls over flowers.

The expression of the mountains and rivers is a little ethereal, like a dream. Today is really a magical day, she pulled the most hated Jiangyu out of the soil, and the two of them can sit together and listen to music so calmly.

There were no disputes, no wits and courage, and no disagreeable eyes.

She thought that Jiang Yu might not be so annoying.

When she turned her head, she noticed that he was looking at her. The light of the fire shone on his right cheek, causing his left cheek to fall into shadow, but his eyes were as bright as the stars shining in the sky.

The mountains and rivers bent their eyebrows, revealing a shallow smile, refreshing and pure, refreshing and refreshing, like a cool breeze blowing in a summer night.

Jiang Yu's expression was soft, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, bending an arc that he had never had before.

They're all old, aren't they?

Are they still open?

That's how we went our separate ways......
