Chapter 622: The Mainstay
As a result, everyone sucked the noodles and made a sound like piglets.
After eating, Guan Zhiyong drove them to the Summer Palace.
"Although we can't go to Hangzhou to enjoy the snow on the broken bridge now, we can enjoy the snow scene comparable to the West Lake in the Royal Garden Summer Palace, although the scenery in the north and the south is very different, we should be content!" Guan Zhiyong, who was standing by Kunming Lake, said.
When Wanshou Mountain was covered with snow, and Kunming Lake formed a thick piece of ice, even the promenade in front of me seemed to see the smiling Gege coming, and the snow in the capital gave off all the flavor of history and royalty.
In the next few days, Guan Zhiyong took them to climb the Great Wall and be a good man!
The snow in the south, which melts as soon as it lands, moistens the earth and moistens the soul. The snow in the north, which is particularly tough and persistent, falls on the ground and quickly accumulates like a white silk quilt, covering the ground, mountains and trees, and the Great Wall, giving people a sense of solidity.
With no trace of heavy snow, you can imagine what a spectacular scene it is to fall on the Great Wall. Guan Zhiyong took them to the Badaling Great Wall, the Great Wall, like a prostrate python, and like a dancing ribbon, there is an awe-inspiring arrogance, and there is a fluttering refreshment, both noble and modest, both serious and gentle.
In winter, the reckless snow ridge, the jade dragon soars in spring, the atmosphere is magnificent, and the scenery is full of square inches. The mountains overlap here, and the situation is dangerous. The imposing city wall spirals north and south and extends among the mountains. The Great Wall stretches out on both sides according to the mountain situation, and the word "natural risk" written by the ancients on the steep cliff is precipitous. The military importance of Badaling's location is accurately summarized.
Lu Haosi stood at the edge of the battlement, on the enemy tower, looking at the vast snowfield.
"What do you think?" Guan Zhiyong stood next to her and asked softly.
"Northern scenery. Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, looking inside and outside the Great Wall, but the remainder; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging...... Only by standing here can we understand the greatness of the world. Lu Haosi said emotionally.
"Yes! After seeing the size of the motherland, it seems that Xiangjiang is even smaller. Lu Zhongfu echoed.
"When I saw the Great Wall, I also experienced it. The tragedy of leaving his hometown and defending his family and the country has realized the joy of life, the fear of death, the bloody battlefield, and the spirit of the horse leather shroud. One can imagine the fierceness of the battle and the hardships of the garrison. Guan Zhiyong pinched the city wall.
Lu Haosi's face was calm and waveless. said with some sadness, "The Great Wall is empty." Now the Xiongguan is still there, the country has been changed, and then the majestic pass. and could not stop the iron hooves of the enemy; And then the majestic spirit. It could not stop the heavy artillery fire; No matter how old a civilization is, it can't stop advanced technology. ”
"The Great Wall has always been regarded as a symbol of the Chinese nation, and it did play a considerable defensive capacity, but when we look back at history, we find that the Great Wall played a lot of jokes on us, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty built the magnificent Great Wall with the strength of the whole country, but the Qin Dynasty collapsed after only two years. It was not lost to the Huns outside the Great Wall, but to internal troubles, which began with the rebellion of two peasants, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. After that, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's army broke through the city. Guan Zhiyong stood at the battlement, letting the cold wind blow his clothes and hunting, and his mellow voice was very penetrating, resounding in his ears, "The Ming Dynasty was not a grassland hero destroyed outside the pass, but was defeated under the hands of another farmer Li Zicheng, and then Wu Sangui let the Manchu Qing enter the customs." When the Japanese invaders broke through the Shanhai Pass and marched into North China, it was when the civil war between the Communist Party of China was raging and the national strength was declining, so there was an opportunity for the Japanese invaders to take advantage of. Therefore, the defensive function of the Great Wall is negative, and it is often within the wall of disaster, when China is corrupt and weakened, the Great Wall cannot stop the invasion of foreign enemies, and when China is strong, we actually do not need the protection of the Great Wall, and surrender the army without a fight. Sure enough, it's the Great Wall!
It can be seen that it is better to govern the world than to prevent the world, and your own strength is the indestructible Great Wall. ”
"Well said!" Lu Haosi narrowed his eyes, and an elusive expression slowly appeared in his eyes, "The Great Wall in the snow can make people feel its arrogance and refreshment." However, arrogance without foundation is empty arrogance; Refreshment without principles is depraved refreshment. A strong army is the foundation of the Great Wall; The correct use of people is the principle of the Great Wall. With a strong army and the correct use of personnel, the Great Wall will be able to stand tall and will always be the mainstay of the Chinese nation. ”
"You think so!" Guan Zhiyong said in surprise.
"What are you happy about?" Lu Haosi looked at him stupidly, and he didn't know why.
"Nothing?" Guan Zhiyong waved his hand.
"Really?" Lu Haosi shook his head speechlessly.
"Let's go! It's getting late. Jiang Huifen said loudly.
Guan Zhiyong drove the Great Wall far behind, this trip to the Great Wall, I felt the pride and refreshment of the Great Wall, and felt the righteousness and pride of the nation. With this kind of arrogance, refreshment, with this kind of righteousness and pride, drift away. The most important thing is that she does not reject being a soldier!
Brother Yong, where did you see that people think like this?
&*&
When the snow melted and the road was good, Guan Zhiyong drove Lu Zhongfu and them back to their hometown to have a look.
A naturally formed village near the mountains on the outskirts of the capital, the road is very difficult to walk.
When Lu Zhongfu and Jiang Huifen fled from home, the elders on both sides were gone, and as for the relatives of the side branches, they had fled the war and so on, and they didn't know if they had all taken refuge and were safe. So go home and hopefully see your relatives.
The car was driving on a rugged country road, but fortunately it was a green jeep with a high chassis, which would have been lying on its stomach a long time ago.
The more the car drove to the mountainous area on the outskirts of Beijing, the more dilapidated the farmhouses on both sides of the road became, the country road was in too bad condition, no matter how high the level of the driver was that Rao was Guanda, the jeep was like twisting Yangge, bouncing all the way forward, from time to time Lu Haosi and the three of them would be thrown up, just a dozen kilometers away, stunned to let the Guanda driver drive out of sweat in the winter.
"It's a terrible road." Finally, Lu Haosi was thrown up with a bump, and he hit the carport with a bang, and couldn't help but say.
"Haosi is okay!" Guan Zhiyong glanced at her nervously.
"Luckily it's a canvas carport, it's fine." Lu Haosi waved his hand and said, "Brother Yong, you still look at the road conditions and drive." ”
The jeep was frozen through, but fortunately they had a good understanding of the cold and were thickly wrapped.
"Oh!" Guan Zhiyong nodded and said, "The situation in the mainland is basically like this, and poor road conditions are not a characteristic here. Bear with me! ”
"Hmm!" Lu Haosi simply responded, what else could he do if he couldn't bear it?
Finally, the car drove to the end of a narrow gravel road, and further on, the road was only two meters wide and narrow, full of potholes, barely driving forward, and it was easy to go wrong.
Guan Zhiyong pulled over, the so-called pullover, is only relatively speaking, the entire road surface, but about three meters five, no matter how far to the side.
Guan Zhiyong looked back behind him and said, "Grandpa Lu, grandma, the car can't move forward, if you barely drive, the car will strike." ”
Lu Zhongfu and the three of them got out of the car and looked around, and what they saw was extremely desolate, old-fashioned farmhouses, dotted with snow in the mountains and fields that had not yet completely melted, larger yards, and houses were difficult to see.
In the middle of winter, a piece of dry yellow emerges from the snow on the side of the mountain roadside, full of solemn atmosphere, coupled with the raging mountain wind, people can't help but feel sad, and a desolate meaning rises from the chest.
"Brother Yong, there is no village in front of here, there is no store in the back, is it safe to park the car here?" Lu Haosi asked worriedly.
Guan Zhiyong looked at the desolate Siye, frowning slightly, this wilderness is really not safe, but don't come back and find that the things in the car have been emptied. If there are two less wheels, or if the gasoline is gone, it will be difficult to carry the car home.
Guan Zhiyong thought for a while and said, "It's really not safe here, so let's do it!" You wait here, I will reverse the car, find a family, explain the situation to the villagers, ask them to help take care of it, and when I come back, just give a small payment. ”
Lu Zhongfu nodded again and again, thinking that this idea was feasible, so he said, "Then you go and come back quickly." ”
"You wait for me to come back." Guan Zhiyong got into the car, carefully turned the front of the car in place, drove towards the road from which he came, and drove away from Lu Haosi and them.
Guan Zhiyong drove about 500 meters and had a farmhouse courtyard. Guan Zhiyong parked the car outside the farmhouse's courtyard, got out of the car, first revealed his documents, and then explained the situation.
When the farmer heard this, he was immediately very enthusiastic and hurriedly responded. He also warmly invited the comrades of the People's Liberation Army to sit at home and warm up with a cup of hot tea. As for Guan Zhiyong's 10 yuan 'parking fee' to be handed over to the farmer, the villager refused to accept it anyway.
After refusing again and again, he finally followed Guan Zhiyong's wishes, and the fellow accepted ten yuan extremely reluctantly. Ten yuan is completely inappropriate for the local tyrant Guan Zhiyong, but for fellow villagers, it can play a big role in life.
The car was settled, and Guan Zhiyong carried a big backpack with four thermos pots, filled with tea, some dry food such as biscuits, and a bag of grain, pork, and vegetables.
Now every household is short of food, and this time when I go back, no matter who I live in, I don't want to eat other people's rations and cause them to go hungry.
However, it didn't matter, the next journey would be a major test of Lu Zhongfu's physical strength for the three of them.
Guan Zhiyong is trained for a long time, strong and strong, but he is not afraid, and these burdens on his body are small cases.
Lu Haosi is a delicate woman, although she exercises every morning, she doesn't know if she can cope with the next journey, and Lu Zhongfu is about seventy years old.
Guan Zhiyong regretted bringing them here, if something happened, how would he explain to Luo'er!
"That Grandpa Lu, grandma, why don't we find a chance to come again! I'm going to walk for three or four hours, and I'm worried about your second elder's body. Guan Zhiyong retreated.
"Look down on us, don't you? Rest assured, it won't hold you back. Lu Zhongfu said very confidently.
"It's all at the doorstep, how can you give up because of this little difficulty." Jiang Huifen waved her fist and said arrogantly, "Let's go!" (To be continued.) )
