About four o'clock, we returned to the train station, wanted to find something to eat and nowhere to go, closed everywhere, because did not eat lunch, hungry, as a result in a remote alley, indiscriminately ate a bowl of burnt wheat paste, took the luggage, got on the train but to Nanguan Station, there are several kilometers there. I asked the student to take a rickshaw and take the luggage to Nanguan Station. I walked with Xiao Tan and his wife, who knew that the rickshaw did not reach Nanguan and said that it was stationing, trying to deceive her that she was a foreigner, and she still had a little guts, she remembered what we said: "Get off when you see a few words at Nanguan Station, otherwise don't get down." The enrollment said: "I didn't get to Nanguan Station", I just didn't come down, let alone pay, and the driver knew that he couldn't be cheated, so he finally pulled to Nanguan Station.

We were also really worried, afraid that the admissions would go to the wrong place, and we were relieved until we saw the admissions. As soon as I got on the train, found a seat, put away my luggage, and the four of them dozed off crookedly, I didn't dare to sleep too deeply, soldiers, still with a little vigilance. With the dull sound of wheels, people also took a hypnotic pill and took a nap in a daze. After the train left Chu Province, it passed through Yue City, Chang City, Zhu City, Heng City in Hunan Province and Liucheng City in Gui Province to enter Puyang Province, and finally arrived at Guicheng, the capital of Puyang Province on the evening of the third day.

After getting off the bus, I had to take the car to go forward, buy a ticket to Zhan County, Nanzhao Province, rest at Jinzhu Station, and get on the bus at dawn. At that time, the car was seriously short of fuel, and there was a big stove behind the buttocks, and the steam generated by the coal boiler was used as the power, and the car was driven on the zigzag winding mountain road due to insufficient power, and it went very slowly, and arrived at Anshun at noon, and arrived at Zhenning at nine o'clock in the evening before staying. At noon the next day, we arrived at Guanling, it was the day of the street, there were more agricultural products, people came and went, the hustle and bustle, the enrollment felt very novel, we bought a few packs of cakes made by the Miao people and some cooked food, and tasted the taste.

The Miao people wore their self-woven and self-made black clothes, plus full of makeup, which opened the eyes of the admissions, and she also curiously touched their makeup and accessories, because of the language barrier, she stretched out her thumb and smiled. The student bought a refined and beautiful ribbon, and he still played with it when he got to the car. This ribbon was taken by the rebels.

Out of Guan County, the road is even more rugged, and when climbing the big slope, the passengers have to get down and push the cart uphill. Spend the night in Qingxian County. The next day, the car went up the hill and down the mountain, walking back and forth in a zigzag or spiral shape, once the steering wheel was wrong, the car would roll down the mountain, and everyone was sweating for safety. The driver, a model driver, tall and burly, about forty years old, said that he had been running this road for more than 20 years, knew everything along the way, and had never had an accident.

When we had lunch in Puxian, we invited this hero driver to dinner, and he also sat with us. He said that he also served in the army when he was young, and after leaving the army, he drove until now. He loves to smoke, and I gave him two packs of cloud cigarettes, and he was very happy. Thanks to his careful handling and cautious driving, the road was bumpy but very smooth. We rested for an afternoon in Pu'an County, settled down and went for a walk on the streets.

Puxian is a small county town, with ancient streets, low wooden houses, many restaurants, an ethnic store, not many types of food, things are more expensive, and I had a delicious ethnic dinner here. Tomorrow is going to enter Nanzhao Province, people in the mountains for a day, also very sleepy, go to bed early, do not feel that the east is white.

Today's distance is far, so early departure, we hurried to Panxian County for lunch, most of the streets in Panxian County are pasta and the like, the four of us eat egg fried rice, buy some oranges and other fruits on the car, in the afternoon will leave Puyang Province into Nanzhao Province.

At the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou, we found that the colors of the land in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are completely different, Puyang Province is loess on this side, and Nanzhao Province is red soil on the other side, forming a natural boundary between the two provinces. The car soon entered the territory of Nanzhao Province, the first county is Fu County, the car passes through the street, the street scene is roughly similar to Puyang Province, the strange thing is that adults and children have a smoking gun, smoking grass leaf smoke, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, so unhappy. The place name is Fu County, but there are no agricultural products, it is said that there are many underground iron mines, and there is also a lot of coal, which may be the origin of Fu County. Overnight stay in Fu County.

From Fuxian to Zhanxian, the road is relatively flat, and the car runs smoothly, but as long as it goes uphill, the big stove on the back of the car may not have enough "strength", and the car is always snoring and panting. At five o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived in Zhan County, temporarily ending the labor of taking a long-distance bus. After a few days of tossing in the mountains, the sand came all the way and was gray and gray.

We bought a train ticket from Zhanxian to Chuncheng at seven o'clock, and there was still an hour and a half before we got on the train.

It is a small station, but because it is a transfer station for cars and trains, there are many small shops on both sides of the street, which has not changed much from when I was in the 4th Artillery Division (1952). There is a kind of green pear pulp on the street, which tastes sweet and can quench thirst, and the enrollment likes to eat it, and Xiao Tan's wife also loves to eat it, so she bought more than ten packs each. After wandering the streets for a while, I didn't have any more interest, so I went back to the waiting room of the station to rest.

The train is coming, get on it on time, there are many people on the train, and it is a great thing to have a seat. The car was still the same, there was boiling water and washing water on the bus, and the supply of the wheels stopped soon after rolling out of the station. This is a kind of small rail train, the carriages are small, overcrowded, the order is a little chaotic, and you don't dare to take a nap. When you arrive in Spring City, you can buy a bus ticket and get the West Station, and it is not easy to take a bus through the city, which is quite crowded.

The West Railway Station is the old station of Chuncheng, which is the main station leading to the east, west, north and south during the Anti-Japanese War, and there are many hostels and restaurants nearby, and there are many pickpockets. Therefore, you must be vigilant when you go out and go to bed late to prevent accidents. We had to wait an extra day to get a car to Sishi, so we took the opportunity to visit several famous scenic spots in Spring City.

While we are free, we will go to the Spring City Scenic Area "Big Garden" for a visit. In 1951 I went to the "Great Garden" once when I was in the infantry school, and today I am a good guide.

You can go directly to the "big garden" by bus, and the ticket is 5 yuan. The Grand View Garden is located on the shore of the Hongchi Pond, the scenery is beautiful and charming, and the world's first long couplet attracts us. The long couplets are carved on tile-shaped wooden boards, repainted, and brightly colored, and are hung on both sides of the gate of the Daimyo Building, which is very spectacular. The full text is as follows:

Five hundred miles of Dianchi Lake, rushing to the bottom of the eye. Draped in the shore, the joy is boundless! Look: Dongxiang Shenjun, West Lingyi, North Winding, South Xiangsu. Masters of rhyme, why not choose to win, take advantage of the crab island Luozhou, comb and wrap the wind and fog sideburns. More reeds, embellished with some green feathers. Don't be disappointed: fragrant rice around you, ten thousand clear sand, nine summer hibiscus, three spring willows.

Thousands of years of past, into the heart. Drink the wine and sigh who is the hero? Think: Han Xi Lou boat, Tang Biao iron pillar, Song waving jade axe, Yuan cross leather bag. Great and great, painstakingly moving mountains, as much as possible to draw the bead curtain, can not roll up the twilight rain and clouds. The remnants of the monument were broken, and they were all paid with the smoke. A few wins: a few pestles and sparse bells, half a river fishing fire, two lines of autumn geese, a pillow of frost.

The legend of the long link was made by Mr. Beard in the Qing Dynasty. In the 14th year of Guangxu (i.e., 1888), the Governor Mr. Cen asked Mr. Zhao to engrave it (the original text of the couplet is not punctuated, but is referred to the notes of newspapers and periodicals). There are a total of 180 characters in the two couplets, each one is one zhang and five feet long, two feet wide, and the black background is gold.
