Before dawn, the exile party was about to depart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Commander Li transferred three crawler tractors, hung up the trailers, and asked everyone to pile up luggage, grain, seeds, farm tools, tents, and sundries.

The warehouse of the pioneer regiment has a set of "combined cultivators" that are originally equipped with steam tractors, and Commander Li also generously said that he can let the exiles take them away.

Everyone was overjoyed, and under the command of Luo Shili, they hurriedly dismantled this stupid and stupid complex thing into parts and put it on the drag.

Yuan Wending drove the steam tractor out of the warehouse, hung up a set of oversized climbing plows, and set up a tent on it to serve as the exile's car.

It was the first time Jin Tong had seen this kind of 110-horsepower big guy, the huge iron wheel and chimney were simply a locomotive, and there was a kind of rough beauty.

All members of the judicial police team and several members of the security team of the pioneer regiment were escorted with the team; Ashku and two patrol officers drove three sets of climbing plows belonging to Jin Tong to follow behind; One by one, the exiles were crammed into the tents of the big ploughs.

Jin Tong sat on the upside-down copper basin and asked Luo Shili, if the combined cultivator is really easy to use, why is it idle?

Luo Shili unveiled everyone's doubts. Originally, due to the limitation of steel performance, in order to ensure strength and wear resistance, this combined cultivator used a large number of multi-layer composite steel plates, and the weight was seriously exceeded; And the design is immature, which leads to complex use; In addition, the traction efficiency of the experimental product is extremely low, and only high-horsepower tractors can drive it, and the internal combustion engine used by the pioneer group now has insufficient horsepower, so this cultivator can only be idle.

"This is the graduation project of one of my senior brothers, who became the deputy manager of the design department of Xingliao Machinery Factory." Luo Shili said enviously.

These words aroused everyone's reverie, just like a chattering study hall would suddenly fall into a mysterious silence, and at this moment a melancholy mood made them lose the desire to speak.

The colorful future that was once thought to be within reach has been reduced to a black and white illusion.

Jin Jing sat opposite Jin Tong, dozing off and nodding from time to time. The climbing plough was dragged by tireless iron oxen and advanced across the vast snowfield......

The tent curtain was rolled, and the snow powder raised by the northwest wind poured in, and they shrank from the cold, but no one wanted to lower the tent curtain. From the mouth of the tent, it is always white......

White earth.

White mountains.

White river.

White forest.

The convoy did not stop for a day, and at noon everyone ate the hot nest head placed next to the steam boiler.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Martin shouted, "Look! Big smoke bubbles are blowing! ”

The wind howled like a ghost howling wolf, and like thousands of mad cows, they chased after the big climbing plough like a demonstration.

The sky was getting darker, the wind was getting more and more urgent, and the dancing snow flakes were like curtain walls, blocking the low-hanging clouds.

The heat on his body quickly dissipated, and the exhaled heat formed patches of hoarfrost on his chest, which gathered into ice cubes, and everyone's beard, eyebrows, and eyelashes were covered with layers of frost.

The tent curtain was lowered, and everyone clung to the tent to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't help laughing.

Wu Rui whistled a banned song, and I don't know who it was, but he sang it in a low voice and to the melody.

Then, a second and third person joined...... Naturally, small choruses were formed.

"Go, friend! Let's go for revenge!

Let's go, friend! Let's go to battle!

The oppressed people are all brothers and friends.

Do we have the strength? Yes!

Are we determined? Yes!

Pick up the knife, gun, pen, and scythe!

Defeat the robbers and fight for freedom.

The light beckons! ”

Jin Jing suddenly exclaimed, "Uncle Ashku, what should they do?" Can the horse get lost? ”

Wu Rui and Jin Tong poked their heads out of the tent, but they couldn't see Ashku's figure.

There were no signs on the road that could confirm the itinerary, and the tractors of the pioneer group led the team in front, stopping and stopping, and the convoy turned into a turtle speed.

It's darker, the snow is heavier, and the clouds are thicker. Martin seasonally beckoned everyone to get out of the car and take a walk, "I just had a 'big smoke bubble' that froze off two toes!" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone jumped out of the car, held on to the wooden pole on the plow, and staggered forward against the wind.

The cold wind was like a needle, piercing the bones, and the snow particles hit the face, and I couldn't open my eyes. The wheezing of the tractor and the sizzle of the plough pressing against the snow merge into an unbearable melody. Jin Tong couldn't help but worry about what to do if the tractor broke down?

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Ashku and two patrol officers gradually loomed in the rear, connecting the three climbing plows and regrouping them according to the pattern of the three sets of Russian vehicles, so as not to get separated. Three horses trekked with the people.

The direction of the wind is also evil, constantly shifting. Everyone had to adjust their posture at any time, sometimes facing the wind from the side, sometimes with their backs, and sometimes walking backwards with their padded jackets tightened.

In just five minutes, Jin Tong felt pain in his brain, and his ten fingers were frozen and he couldn't bend. The wind was looking through the cracks, and he was obviously wearing a thick cotton jacket, cotton pants, and a dogskin hat, but it was as if he was not wearing clothes.

Night fell quietly, and the tyrannical smoke bubbles gradually weakened somehow.

Everyone got back into the car and picked up speed. The tractor advanced at full speed, the wind and snow were left far behind, and the wasteland was so quiet!

The convoy ran for two days and two nights like a migrating tribe of deer hunters. No one can tell how many long detours they have taken during this period. If it weren't for Lin Qian, a former member of the United Geographical Society, who took the initiative to provide advice, I don't know how much time would have been delayed.

At dawn on the third day, flat ice fields appeared.

It was as if the world's largest lake was frozen in front of the eyes, and the tractor's tracks and steel wheels could only grind two white marks on the ice.

The convoy stopped. Lin Qian took the geological compass and carefully compared it with the rough topographic map issued by the Reclamation Bureau, and confirmed the location.

They finally entered the ghost swamp, and beyond the vast expanse of ice was a blanket wasteland.

There is no such horror as the Oninuma is, it is hibernating.

Lu Tianxi suddenly shouted: "Full of the Great Demon King!" Where are you? Come out! ”

The demon king didn't appear, Wu Rui kicked him in the ass, "Young ghost shouting ghost scream!" ”

An exile, Mao Zhigang, suddenly pointed not far away: "Look there! ”

A stake of log split from the middle was driven into the ground and stood diagonally.

The crowd walked over curiously. Wu Rui brushed off the snow on the wooden stake, which was a tombstone. On the rough and flattened surface of the axe, the handwriting carved by the knife was eroded by wind and rain, and it could only be vaguely recognized...... Die from this" three crooked words.

"There, there's another one!" Jin Jing spotted the same hoodoo, and she was the first to retreat towards the tractor.

Jin Tong whispered, "Let's go, don't disturb their rest." ”

The convoy set off again, and when the ice disappeared, the tractor was bumpy and undulating. The crowd discovered a frozen river that had never been recorded on a map.

Well, this is the end.

Snow was cleared by the river to clear a small piece of clean flat land, and everyone unloaded luggage, food, tents and other sundries.

Captain Fang seemed to have lost interest in the speech. After asking everyone to sign a document and press their fingerprints, he shook hands with Wu Rui to say goodbye.

"It's good to do it yourself." There was a hint of pity in the words.

Bailiff Li took care of the exiles a lot along the way, and at this time he only said goodbye quietly and amicably.

Ashku hugged Jin Tong warmly and whispered in his ear: "On the way here, I saw several packs of wolves. I'd better leave you two guns. ”

Jin Tong's heart tightened, "Thank you, uncle!" But will you be in trouble if you lose your gun? ”

"Ha, Xinlu doesn't have so many rules, they all spend their own money to buy and then reimburse." Ashku patted Jin Tong on the back.

"That'...... Can't let Uncle break the bank, how much is a gun? I'll have to make it up to you. ”

"Of course you have to give money! Twenty yuan for one piece, with 100 rounds of ammunition. Okay, don't hug it, they look weird! ”

Taking advantage of the chaos of unloading, Jin Tong asked his sister for forty yuan and handed it to Ashku.

Ashku whispered, "It's pressed between the two layers of quilts of the climbing plow." ”

Jin Tong nodded.

According to the regulations, Ashku, as the head of the pavilion, would come to the penal colony every winter to check and register those who were still alive.

After the unloading was completed, the three tractors left the camp that was still in chaos with the captain of the square and the bailiff team, the security guard of the pioneer regiment, Ashku and two patrol officers.

"See you next year!" They said goodbye to Ashku.

The convoy disappeared into the distance, and Jin Tong held back the excitement in his heart, untied the three horses, and tied the reins to the tree. Only then check the climbing plow.

Two hunting knives were hidden between the two layers of quilts on the first plough.

The second one had nothing, and the third one had guns and bullets hidden. Those are the two rifles produced by the "Huangen Machinery Factory", half-new, not old, without bayonets, looking like the appearance of the German G98 Mauser, fixed double-row magazine, rotary rear pull bolt machine.

There was also a cardboard box containing a hundred rounds of pointed-nosed rifle ammunition. Jin Tong loaded 5 bullets from the top shell mouth one by one.

Daqi pursues military national education, and the military training for admission is very strict. Although the control of civilian gun ownership has become stricter in recent years, there is still shooting training in secondary school physical education classes. There are no middle school students who don't know how to use guns.

Wu Rui was startled when he saw the rifle, didn't say anything, and gave Lu Tianxi a look.

Lu Tianxi couldn't wait to pick up the other one and start loading it too. After loading the bullets, he pulled the bolt and jokingly aimed between Yuan Wending and Martin, who were responsible for surveillance.

Yuan Wending knelt on the ground as soon as his legs were weak, "Big brother! Don't kill me! I didn't see anything! Didn't see anything! ”

Although Martin didn't kneel, he was also trembling and sweating. He heard that this gang of people is playing rebellion, and they can do anything to kill people and set fires.

Jin Tong put the gun on his back and said with a smile: "What about you acting in dramas?" Who are you killing? Yuan Wending, don't go to fetch water yet! ”

Lu Tianxi lowered the muzzle of the gun and said with a hippie smile, "What's the matter with the two brothers, I'm playing with you." ”

As if they had been pardoned, they carried pickaxes and baskets to the river without looking back.

Wu Rui and Jin Tong looked at each other and smiled.

Lu Tianxi handed the gun to the other students who were greedy and passed it on. After the addiction, Wu Rui began to assign work to everyone.

At this time, it was just noon.

In the wilderness, twenty-four exiles, a little girl, two prisoners with one year left in their sentences, three horses and five dogs take the first step in a long march.
