Huang Wei and I drove to a town in the west, where the crowd was chaotic, the surface was calm and stable, and I didn't know what the situation would be inside.
It's the same as before, we were going to the mountains to pick up a few stones, and then helping others sharpen knives in the town, and when we had saved some money, we planned to open a shop and buy some tea or something. Huang Wei was very cooperative, and he didn't think about the diameter of those fortunes, mainly because he didn't want to fall deeper and deeper into nothing.
In the past few years of China's Cultural Revolution, there has been widespread poverty on the southwest border, and many Yunnan people have come here to beg for a living and support their families. At the same time, the black market is also bustling, and drug trafficking and tomb robbing have also set off a heat wave.
"Sharpen the knife, it's been sharpened for so long, and there are few boys." Huang Wei complained.
In fact, I have this kind of thought in my mind, I have been sharpening my knife for ten years and eight years, and we are still sharpening my knife, and our lives are still miserable. It is often said that the zone full of risks is always the most tempting. If you can't afford to take the risk, you will always lie on the basic hardship, and if you have enough, you will fall.
After eating Chaos that day, a mysterious impulse arose in my heart, and that was to play with my life.
That night, we were both lying in bed, neither of us saying a word, and I was thinking about the good old years, but I was so embarrassed that the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. So I thought about it in my heart:
At the end of the year, the cold window is ten years, and the road ahead is blank.
How many years have you been lost, and you can't help it?
Even if you are a cultural person who has studied hard for ten years, you will inevitably suffer from the ups and downs of fate, a good youth, no opportunity, even if you have the ability to pull out the mountains and cover the world, what is the use? How many people in the world have been ordinary for a lifetime because they can't meet a good opportunity.
Huang Wei also said: "If you want to talk about ability, we are not worse than anyone else, if you want to talk about hard work, we are not less than anyone else, and what makes us different from others is an opportunity, an opportunity to show yourself." "Maybe one day in the future, we will laugh at the present and mess up with life.
In this way, the two of us took the usual hard-earned money and were ready to do a big job, since God did not arrange opportunities for the two of us, then we will create them ourselves, we will give ourselves opportunities, and we will show ourselves the space.
Due to the lack of money, it is impossible to buy all the equipment, so you can only buy a few commonly used ones. I bought a few random things, ropes, factories, candles, knives, etc., and as for expensive things such as gas masks and shotguns, I had to give them up. Of course, due to our inexperience and incomplete equipment, the only place we could go was the hollowed-out cemetery and pick up a few pieces of junk that no one wanted.
Everything was ready, and we both started to go. Listen to the wind of others, in the west of the border, there is a river, people call it Qingshui River. The source of the Qingshui River comes from a village in Xitui, Yunnan Province, where it is called the sister river. The river flow is not very wide, but it is very urgent, I heard others say that this river is a sister mountain in Yunnan called the sister river that flows out, so the name of the sister river. Because the water flow is extremely clear, the naked eye can clearly distinguish the fish eggs and cobblestones at the bottom of the river, so it is also called Qingshui River.
Qingshuihe has a village not far from the Sister Mountain, called Gravel Village. The people of the gravel village have lived by the mountains and water for generations, and what is even more puzzling is that cultural relics are sometimes unearthed along the river, so the flow of tomb robbers there has entered a heat wave. There must be a lot of bizarre cemeteries over there, and there should be some harvest where you go.
In this way, Huang Wei and I decided to go to the western boundary of Yunnan to break through, maybe we could find any heirlooms on the sister mountain, and it became an instant hit.
Sister Mountain is a bit of a remote village, a poor village, and although it is not troubled by war, it is too remote to cause poverty. There are no roads, so you can only rely on foot. Due to the rapid poverty in the later period of the Cultural Revolution, there were many people who broke the law.
Sister Mountain doesn't know where it is, we can only rely on asking people to get there, because the area is remote, so it is estimated that it will take ten days and a half to travel, and along the way, we don't have a lot of entanglements, we can only ask to walk through.
Stepping out of the Burmese border and crossing the Qingshui River Bridge, we embarked on the road to Yunnan, although we are both Yunnan people, but we are extremely unfamiliar with these areas, and we don't know anything about them, because there are so many primitive villagers and villages in the western border of Yunnan.
The primeval forest that was not invaded by the war is not worse than the forest of **, and it is better than that. Thinking of the ** forest, my heart began to flood with thoughts about Xiaomei, thinking of her shy and kind face, my heart was completely chaotic.
The reason why the primeval forest here is more dangerous than the forest is because the forest has been inhabited by hunters, and the places where hunters live are often much less dangerous, and the primeval forests where these hunters are sparsely traced, not only are there strange beasts, once they are attacked by fierce beasts, they cannot be rescued by hunters, so the probability of survival is very small.
Of course, just in case, we prepared watermelon knives and bows and arrows in advance, and if we can't afford foreign guns, we can buy domestic goods, and when we encounter a crisis, we can also fight.
The western border of Yunnan belongs to the alpine mountains of China's border region, where the farmers are more traditional, with primitive thatched houses and bamboo houses, and the people here rarely cultivate and work, because the land here is red, there is not enough chemical fertilizer, and the crops cannot grow at all, so many people live in a primitive way.
Hunting and fishing are very common here, and there are few businessmen or migrant workers, drinking home-brewed wine and smoking home-grown grass tobacco, and everything is still peaceful here.
I originally asked Huang Wei to go home first to report his safety, but I learned that Huang Wei's family had nothing left and everything was turned to ashes. The reason why Huang Wei came out to wander accounted for a large part, I was afraid that Huang Wei would remember the sadness of the past, so I had to hold back my homesickness and didn't dare to mention it again.
