Chapter 7: The Dangerous Wilderness
――Teacher Ren, something happened to Du Ruo, are you at home?
Ren Yan hurriedly put down the baby, grabbed out of the house in a few steps, and in the wind and rain, the old foreman stood outside the door with his whole body [***], "This muddy boy, relying on a little physical strength, insisted on going to the slope protection, and hit the mudslide, not with fast legs and feet, but I was afraid that I would be invited to the ghost gate by Lord Yan, but it didn't matter, let the stone rub a little, broke a little skin, and refused to rest, and others were jumping from the immortals more than ten miles away at this time." ”
Ren Yan hurriedly put on a raincoat, asked the family next door to take care of the baby, put the hot day's meals into the thermos bucket, and walked out of the house with the basket in the wind and rain. It turned out that he had been trapped in the most remote road maintenance site in the depths of Bashan for more than a month, and now there were three or four families living in a row of low bungalows built by the mountain. There is no shop, no TV, no recreational room, seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, and you have to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads to buy in the market town outside the mountain. When you open your eyes, you will see a green mountain that is taller than a mountain, and when you close your eyes, you will see a stream of water that is louder than a stream. It seems that Du Ruo's life in the past few years has not been smooth, and he has been living in dire straits all year round, and he is also passing the time in the sorrow and sorrow of his wish.
Ren Yanshu felt that his nose was sour, and his eyes full of mountains and rivers couldn't help but get wet. Ren Yan suddenly remembered that when she was able to get out of bed a little after giving birth, she walked hard in Du Ruo's house full of calligraphy and paintings, and saw that the four walls were full of calligraphy and paintings, and the corners of the house were full of pots of bonsai with great ingenuity. Ren Yan's heart was suddenly broken, and the irritable arrogance in his chest fell out of his chest, and the gloomy clouds that blocked his brain also dispersed with the wind. In this mountain like a cultural desert, although he encountered the difficulties of life one after another, and was burdened with gossip with a poisonous tongue, he walked on the journey of literary and artistic creation without regrets, and adhered to the long march of cultural learning without violence. It seems that his hard work in those years was not in vain, and it was a good thing to associate with him at that time, risking secular prejudice and flying short-lived.
When Ren Yan knew the leader of the small station, he was very elegantly holding a frame of care and love, bulging his eyes as if looking at a visitor from outside the world, saying that Du Ruoqing was better than blue, and there was a way to go to the black, and he would not give up without falling his nose and swollen face; There is an ambition to drill into the pile of books, not to drill out of a golden house, and not to look back. Ren Yan sighed with pity, saying that Du Ruo was actually not easy, and paid several times the price unimaginable to ordinary people, Du Ruo loved painting and reading outside of eight hours, and he was a monster who didn't know how many bowls of dry rice he didn't know, but he took 10,000 steps back and said that he was not better than those young workers in the station who were good at fighting, gambling, and getting sick.
When Ren Yan knew a large group of workers, some of them were empty-eyed, their eyes were long on their foreheads, they didn't go to work in the blue sky, and they didn't sleep in the middle of the night. There are also those who have been tightening their trouser belts for several months, holding banknotes, but they bring dozens of liquor, and bring strings of game, saying that they are the same people who have wine in the present and are drunk in the future, and they are sorrowful and sorrowful; Others belong to the king of the stove, whose pot has a fishy smell, and he will drill into whom's house, but his mouth is full of money like dung, and benevolence and righteousness are worth a thousand gold. After coming in twos and threes, they all shouted that Du Ruo was a great virtuous tiger who became stupid and was now quite like an ordinary person; Du Ruo hid in the mountains and wilderness, depressed, not because of poetry and wine, often drunk and annoyed by the soul, and then guessed the boxing, cleared the customs, punished according to the number of Jingu wine, poured yellow soup violently, ate all the face, let people chew their tongues behind their backs, poke their backbones. Ren Yan saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, Du Ruo was still so confused, so cocooned and self-bound, twenty-seven or eight-year-old people, being left idle and scattered in this big ravine without sound, light and shadow, with desolation, with loneliness as a companion, with no success in the family business, no hope for the career, and so he couldn't get along with himself, spending the good time on idle teeth, talking about idle articles, and breaking the jar so much, he looked down on himself, threw stones into the dung pit, and splashed all the disgusting feces and urine on his body.
When Ren Yan knew a group of little sisters, they put surprise on their faces and confusion on the corners of their mouths. said that Du Ruo is a fool and a fool, look at the virtue, look at the stupidity, carry half a bottle of vinegar to beg for food, take a dog stick to the gatehouse, a frame of two hundred and five poor and sour, a look of despair that has never met a talent, and it is very high, and there is still this marriage, people really have the blessings of cultivation in their previous lives! Ren Yan sighed slightly, saying that people really can't look good, and they really can't wear colored glasses to look at people, and they can't stay on the old yellow calendar in the past. Du Ruo has a strong sense of dedication and courage, and wants to achieve a career and realize his personal ideals. At that time, when we looked at the paintings he painted, it was like sticking Buddha characters on the palace of Hades, and ghosts painting peach charms; Look at others all day long, the god is not guarded, silver-like wax gun head. But hasn't he been down-to-earth all these years, step by step, how difficult it is, although he is still blowing the trumpet in the clouds for a long time, and I don't know where it is a sound; The wooden boat in the Pacific Ocean is at the end of nowhere. But whoever has front and back eyes, who gives birth to a flower braincase that can know the past and present lives, has this ambition, and has this perseverance, it is better than a bastard who supports his stomach and stomach!
Ren Yan walked out of seven or eight miles with muddy legs, the wind and rain were still blowing, lightning and thunder, the raindrops were thunderous and thunderous, and the torrential raindrops were violently knocking on the mountains, the streams of the mountains were full of silt, mixed with mud and sand and grass and trees overflowed in all directions, and the waterfalls of thousands of weather were hanging in the mountains and rivers, and the green old pines were dancing in the wind, and then the rivers in the hills were also full, and the waves of rolling dirty foam were rushing in the low-lying crops. The towering mountains outside the sky have been looming in the rain curtain, a burst of mist embraced, the four wild mountains are cloudy, and the clouds are blue.
Ren Yan hurriedly walked past a mountain mouth, and the immortal jumping rescue site was in front of him. Under the cliff wall facing the mountains and peaks, the red flags are unfurled, and the machines are roaring, reflecting the huge placard of "carrying forward the spirit of five stresses, four beauties, and three loves, and forging ahead bravely for the rejuvenation of the country through science and education", the rescue locomotive is lying on the temporary track spraying blazing water vapor, the tall rescue crane stretches out a giant arm like a giraffe, a Dongfanghong bulldozer, a Jiefang brand dump truck, and a series of imported excavators keep bulldozing, transporting stones, and digging mountains, one by one carrying a dustpan, a pair of carrying baskets, Groups of people wielding pickaxes shuttled endlessly to pick up soil, fill pits, and excavate, and the voices of people, machines, and trumpets sounded in one piece, and the sound shook all over the world. Sure enough, it collapsed again, and now a steep cliff collapsed on the railway line, and the trains from north to south were lying on the tracks that were only a few miles away. Ren Yan knows that the flood season between July and August is the most dangerous and hardest time for these road maintenance workers in the mountains, in the era of sweeping away all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, preparing for war and preparing for famine for the people, the Sichuan-Han line is completely built by the battle of the sea of people, so the line next to the dangerous peak of the cloud cliff is often collapsed when it is washed by heavy rain. When Ren Yan was still working as a propaganda officer in the work area, he wrote about the heroic deeds of a road maintenance worker who sacrificed heroically for rescue.
Ren Yan saw at a glance that the old and young of the three or four families at the construction site appeared on the construction site with shovels, and they were all sweating and dragging their tired bodies to fight under the cliff. Ren Yan's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help but speed up her pace and walk towards the muddy cliff. A few sharp-eyed people on the construction site suddenly seemed to have discovered a new world, shouting Du Ruo while dancing. Some say look, Painter Du's wife is here, the big beauties in the city send food to the road maintenance workers in our mountains, I really hurt the glaucoma for most of my life, and now I see it when I open my bald head; Some people say that Du Erzhuzi is a bachelor who has been boiling for so many years, and now he finally takes out a white egg from the black chicken nest, and the bitter sweetness is coming, with such a beautiful wife living under one roof, I am also willing to stay up for a few more years and live a few more years of life; Some people also say that you puppies say, you eat and support, your mouth is itchy and you won't go to the tree to grind, there are Bodhisattvas at home, but you go to worship other people's Guanyin, do you look at Du Ruo and say that his wife is beautiful, and he wants flies not to bite the eggs that are not sewn. Du Ruo has been sharpening a sword for ten years, and he wants to become famous and start a family in his dreams, but now he finally has a positive result, is it easy? If you chew maggots with no skin and no face, you are not afraid of chewing off your chin and smashing your feet. So laughter and laughter spread on the hot construction site.
Du Ruo was uneasy for a while, took Ren Yan's basket in the eyes of everyone's envy and admiration, and the two walked to the bottom of the cliff sheltered from the wind one after the other. Ren Yan propped up the raincoat again, put it on Du Ruo's head, and tightly grasped the four corners of the raincoat with both hands, so as to prop up a space to shelter from the wind and rain, so that Du Ruo could have a hot breath to eat. Du Ruo was emotionally excited, his eyes flashed with joy, a warm current that had never been felt before rippled around his body, and his heart was like a drum, "Don't be like this, let it go, you just finished your confinement and stood alone in the rain, which is not good for your health!" ”
Ren Yan held her head high, trying not to let tears overflow the corners of her eyes, and her heart was more hot like a pot of boiling soup. Since returning to the city, she has never heard a good word, nor has she seen a good face, all day long is not for work and tired, or for life to copy and fight, a little pride in working in the city has long been eroded by the trivialities of the day, a little kindness in the city life has also been tossed by the poverty year after year, "You eat well, after eating and resting for a while, you haven't closed your eyes for a day and a night, I'll go up for you to do it for a while!" ”
Du Ruo's eyes flashed in disbelief, gobbling up the rice bowl, and for a while he suspected that something was wrong with his ears, and Ren Yan had been dating for many years, when did she speak to herself with such gentle and beautiful words, she had always been a tall and straight face, and the words she said seemed to come out of the ground coldly. Du Ruo wiped his mouth suspiciously, swallowed the rice grains in his mouth, lowered his head and got out of the raincoat, and saw Ren Yan calmly put away the raincoat, her red face was covered with fine water droplets, and her black hair and silk scarf danced in a black and white pattern in the cold mountain wind. Often cold light pierces people's eyes, and there are a few smiles on the corners of the mouth of the often cold-spoken iceman. Du Ruohu was stunned in doubt, and for a while he suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes, until Ren Yan took out the gloves he put in the raincoat and picked up the dustpan he was leaning against under the cliff, then he walked a few steps with confidence and stopped Ren Yan, "Go back, your son has no one to take care of, this is hard work, you are a female teacher with flowers and bones, you will not be able to bear it!" ”
Ren Yan smiled faintly, a wisp of blush flew up her cheeks, but her heart was as sweet as a piece of candied fruit, and she took a step back a little unnaturally, "It doesn't matter, I'm not as fragile as you say, and I'm not a female teacher anymore, I can still do this bit of hard work!" ”
"Who said that, you are a female teacher in my mind, and you are a god in my heart like seven fairies. I don't care what others do to you, in this land, I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance; No matter how you have come over in the past few years, in this square day, you will never be allowed to lose face! Du Ruo swore that his neck was stiffened, his eyes widened for fear of loss, his face was loyal and loyal, and two eyes full of hope stared at Ren Yan's face fiercely.
"Okay, I know, I swear by the curse when something happens, I don't stand here in a good manner, haven't I debunked your Western scenery, I can't be when I am a vase on your desk, I can't be a goldfish in your goldfish tank, don't do some work, you have to take care of me, I don't feel at ease in my heart!"
Du Ruoyu hesitantly moved out of the way, and followed behind in a foggy manner. The two had just walked up the cliff, and the little young worker on the spot first shouted enthusiastically as if he had found Angel, "Sister-in-law Du, come here!" Then the little young worker in the station also seemed to have discovered something strange, and shouted passionately, "Sister Ren, come here!" All the young workers in the rear work area seemed to have discovered the fairy sister, and shouted all over the mountains, "Teacher Ren, come here!" Ren Yan's heart was shocked, tears of joy burst out of her eyes, and the bottom of her heart stirred up a warm current of respect and love like a rushing tide. Du Ruo's expression also changed greatly, his eyes were damp with a layer of empathetic gloom, and his anxious steps became extremely firm. Looking at Ren Yanxian smiling uneasily at the people she knew or didn't know around her, a delicate and weak image came into people's eyes, and the shoulders that rarely carried the burden clumsily carried the dustpan all the way in the mud. Unexpectedly, Ren Yan has been gone for two or three years, and she has already lost a little respect and face in the dung heap, and she has already made a big joke in the work area, but there is still such a charisma in the work area, and it is still so confusing, people still hold her in their hands as a rose on Bashan, as a Lingzhi grass to save souls in their mouths, and worship her in their hearts as a female teacher who enlightens knowledge.
However, when they walked to the cliff in full swing, Ren Yan was careless, his body staggered, and he fell to the ground, and the two dustpans were like balls that were thrown, and they went straight to the bottom of the cliff. Du Ruo was taken aback, and grabbed Ren Yan's tumbling body. The frightened people on the cliff snatched down one after another, grabbed the grip of the hand for a while, dragged the foot of the foot, and pulled Ren Yan up with a gossip. Looking at Ren Yan standing in the middle of people like a mud monkey, her white and red cheeks were sticking to the mud that was up to an inch thick, her long black hair was dripping with yellow muddy water, and her fashionable clothes were all stained with mud. The people looked at each other on the ground, then laughed out loud, and then they all rolled their backs and burst into laughter. Ren Yan's face turned red, her eyes lowered in embarrassment, and she couldn't help but laugh when she was young. Ren Yan walked out of the crowd in shame, and suddenly found that the cliff wall washed by the heavy rain began to loosen, the cliff head had begun to roll down miles of dirt unobtrusively, and the cliff had begun to sound the sound of clattering branches unpleasantly. Everyone's expressions changed suddenly, and they all glanced at each other, and Ren Yan ran to the cliff desperately, shouting with all his life's strength: "The mountain is about to slide, everyone run!" "The people who waved their arms on the cliff and split the earth immediately felt that it was dangerous, and suddenly threw the pickaxe and the basket and ran down the mountain forgetting their lives; The people who were buried in dredging under the cliff suddenly felt that it was in danger, and immediately took the shovel and the shovel on their back, and rushed to the opposite cliff in fear. Ren Yan ran up to the cliff out of breath, shouting to the people who didn't hear the shouts to run; Ren Yan climbed into the cab in three steps and two steps, and shouted to the driver who did not see the danger to leave. When the huge cliff was empty, Ren Yan breathed a sigh of relief, called Du Ruo, who was also looking for people on the four roads, and ran to the mountain opposite the cliff.
Who knew that before he had run a few steps away, Du Ruo suddenly fell to the ground with grinning teeth, and the injury that he had gotten up early had flare-up, and his ankle was in pain like a bulging tumor. Ren Yan hurriedly turned back, picked up Du Ruo without saying anything, got up and fell to the ground and ran down the cliff. Du Ruo lay on Ren Yan's back in a state of anxiety, listening to the rolling sound of the cliff behind him getting denser and denser, the sound of pine trees breaking louder and louder, and a large area of dust and mist also shocked him, and he was so anxious that the green tendons on his head burst out, "Put me down, you run quickly, otherwise you won't be able to run alone!" ”
"Don't say it, save some trouble, and don't pick a time to find death!" Ren Yan snorted, and a nameless fire jumped up in her heart, as if she had a thunderbolt on a sunny day, these days she endured humiliation and pretended to smile, and the resentment of suppressing the annoyance of saying soft words all poured into her face, "I owe you, didn't you say that I am your wife, don't you worry about death, so as not to pay off the debts in the future, and be embarrassed to live in the world!" ”
Du Ruo was angry for a while, desperately broke free and rolled to the ground, his face was white in indignation, and he pointed at Ren Yan's nose with a trembling voice, "What do you mean, say it clearly, how can I recruit you, provoke you, I can't help you, such vicious words can be spoken!" ”
"You didn't recruit me, you didn't provoke me, you didn't live with me, I was cheap, my life was bad, I had no eyes, and it was not good to be a mandarin duck with you!" Ren Yan looked up at her face angrily, the visible resentment and grief spread on her face, and the tears of humiliation in her eyes flowed down again.
"It's really a dog who can't change his surname after walking thousands of miles, I still have your surname changed, or this kind of father who doesn't love his mother, or this kind of pig who doesn't gnaw and doesn't lick the dog, it's moldy for eight lifetimes, how can I have such a dead star as you in my life!" Du Ruo broke his liver and intestines, sat lame on the ground, and was very disheartened and lazy for a while, his whole body was like a piece of wood that had been cut off from branches and leaves, and he was bored like a piece of wood that had been cut off from its branches and leaves, and let Ren Yan sobbing and rushing across the railway line with his back on his back. The people who were out of danger on the cliff also ran down with shouts at this time, and they lifted Du Ruo with their hands and feet and ran towards the cliff.
A few people just ran to the cliff, behind the sky and the earth came from the sound of the cliff collapse, and saw that the mountain col of Fang Yuan was completely covered in a haze, hundreds of tons of soil rolled down from the cliff head hundreds of meters high with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and the sea, the sound of thunder exploded in the ears more violently than a sound, and the dust that rose to the sky was more intense than a burst in front of the eyes, the wind in the four fields was whistling, the rain and fog were misty, and the explosion was bursting, and the heaven and earth were like being in a darkness.
Everyone gathered on the hill in fear, and all their faces were filled with the horror of the rest of their lives. The leader gratefully shook Ren Yan's hand, "Teacher Ren, I really owe you today, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, and all the 100 people in the station will have to be buried here." Facts have fully demonstrated that backwardness must be eliminated, and only through development can we become self-reliant. Mankind is about to enter the 21st century, and we are still relying on manpower to rescue the emergency. Therefore, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and only when the mind is emancipated, reformed, and opened up, and the economy develops, can the country become rich and strong, and the people can become rich. The future and destiny of each of us are closely related to the future and destiny of the country and the nation. I heard that you got married, and I wanted to come and see it, congratulations, but I haven't been able to spare time. Our Du painter is really a talent, not only painting well, but also building a nest well, and he just brought back the phoenix that flew away in the work area. When to go to the work area to sit, what difficulties are reflected, you used to be a team of leaders who are still talking about you! The young man who entered the railway at the same time as Ren Yan took Ren Yan's hand affectionately, "Teacher Ren, come back, the work area has changed a lot in the past two years, and in the future, our family areas will be built in the second and third tier cities along the line, and these road maintenance sites built in the mountains will be removed." The leaders have put out all the long-term plans, the country has opened up to the outside world, invigorated the interior, and the national economy has taken the railway first. In the future, we will drive the road maintenance locomotive to work, sit in the spacious and bright cab and walk thousands of miles of railway lines, no longer have to be gray on sunny days, muddy on rainy days with our feet, and will never spend ten days and a half months to return home to the life of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl! The young people who entered the railway a few years later than Ren Yan also gathered around Ren Yan on the inside and outside three floors, "Teacher Ren, come back and teach us, I heard that you teach literature and art well, and you have taught a great painter." weloveyoumadly! (We really like you!) We are also studying correspondence courses, and we are at the University of Electrical Engineering, but it is difficult to pass the English test. Now enhance the vitality of the enterprise, smash the three iron (iron chair, iron rice bowl, iron salary) smashed badly, do not study sooner or later will be eliminated, in case of unemployment, not to mention that you can't find a target, even open your mouth to eat in the canteen is difficult to find. In the past two years, the third-line factories and mines built by tens of thousands of people in the big ravines have all been moved to the city, and the staff schools and specialized schools affiliated to the factories have also moved away, saying that they are for the purpose of readjusting, improving, rectifying, and enhancing the national economy, stripping the enterprises of their functions of running society, and improving the economic efficiency of the enterprises. As a result, I often can't even find a place to speak English. You are from a professional background, and your accent is pure, so you must be able to teach well! (To be continued.) Improve, strip the enterprise of the function of running the society, and improve the economic efficiency of the enterprise. As a result, I often can't even find a place to speak English. You are from a professional background, and your accent is pure, so you must be able to teach well! (To be continued.) )
