Chapter 82: Summer Vacation
The summer vacation is long, during the college, once very much wanted to walk home once, quite strong, almost put into action, this is by the influence of the Red Army's Long March, the spark can start a prairie fire, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, or because of the influence of the great man, he once went deep into the countryside to investigate for 32 days, in the early days of the Great Revolution, wrote the famous "Hunan Peasant Movement Investigation Report".
Because only by walking can we really get in touch with the customs and customs of various places, can we truly appreciate the cultural environment of various places, can we truly see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and can we spy on the Red Army's growth from scratch and from weak to strong.
There is no walking, there is enough time, one of the summer vacations, from Guilin, to Guangzhou, to visit my sister, she is married, is her high school alumnus, lives in a rented house in Tianhe, Guangzhou, the two are engaged in computer sales, open a shop alone, to make a living, the income is good.
My sister was enthusiastic, and took me to visit the Hukou Fort and other scenic spots, on the fort, the cannon cast by pig iron, such as the tiger entrenched, the muzzle of the gun is directly facing the sea, there are rust traces left by the years on the surface, it is still difficult to hide the heroic wind of the year, it seems that you can see the heroic and unyielding figure of resisting the invasion, and the scene of the smoke is full of smoke.
Time has passed, the era of the great powers carving up China is gone, the new China is like a sleeping lion has woken up, standing proudly in the East, the banner of socialism is fluttering in the wind, unique, maybe it can be better, the premise is that the gun should be hard, this is the mission of my generation, maybe through my own efforts, I can strengthen the flagpole and add color to this banner.
The spring breeze of reform blows the earth, the achievements of economic construction have been reflected in the countryside, household appliances are popular, motorcycles are already commonplace, and the average rural family has one, replacing the previous 28-style bicycle, various modifications, a variety of uses, and become an indispensable means of transportation for the life and production of villagers.
At this time, the eldest sister was also married, and the brother-in-law had a motorcycle, which was borrowed to ride instead of the 28 bicycle, which was more labor-saving and lightweight, and more fast and fast. I haven't ridden it before, so it's easier to get started than learning to ride a bike.
The first time I rode a motorcycle, plus the throttle, I ran up, the wind blew in my face, my hair seemed to be fluttering, my clothes were rolled up and hunting, I felt infinite pride, and I had a feeling of blood gushing out of thin air.
Jiang Han is also in the mountain hydropower station, has a motorcycle, ready to experience the passion of speed all the way, experience the beautiful scenery all the way, and go to visit.
Enter the main road from the county to the richest, at this time the road has been rebuilt, all are flat asphalt roads, when the vehicles are not as many as now, the road surface appears to be relatively wide, the weather is very good that day, enjoy the feeling of cool breeze, unconsciously the throttle is added to the bottom.
The engine was spinning rapidly, making a continuous and rapid sudden sound, which seemed to be able to stimulate passion, simply throttle to the end, and did not let go, speeding all the way, and encountered a police car halfway, which seemed to disagree with my madness, suddenly accelerated, and did not let me catch up.
The young heart ignored the danger, and actually raced with the police car, and then remembered that there was always a moment of fear, not wearing a helmet, there was no effective protection on the whole body, in case of falling, what the consequences would be, I dare not imagine.
The road is under the feet, unimpeded, perhaps it is the dream of every young person, so only speed and passion can be interpreted, perhaps only young people have such a state of mind, and only young people can fully enjoy this heartiness.
When the main road turns into a mountain road, the road condition is much worse, it is still the same as the previous gravel road, the road has become steep and curved, and many places are sharp bends, and one side is often a cliff.
The sand and gravel road is maintained, and the maintenance method is generally that the maintenance workers hold a big broom in their hands, press the order along the road, and roll the vehicles to the sand on the side of the road one by one, and sweep it back to the middle of the road, which is often the thickest sand and gravel in the middle of the road.
Mountain people come and go, whether they are riding bicycles or motorcycles, generally do not easily walk in the middle of the road, because the wheels are stuck in the sand and gravel and it is easy to slip sideways, improper disposal, or not timely, the vehicle will lose balance and fall, especially when the speed is fast.
When I was in high school, I went back from a trip over the mountains, and I once fell down while riding a bicycle, and the female classmate in the back seat rolled on the ground, and I enjoyed the passion of riding a motorcycle, but I forgot about this stubble.
Carelessly, a careless motorcycle fell into the gravel, the wheels were blocked, and the side slid under inertia, and the direction was towards the cliff on the side of the road, uncontrollable, and could only watch the slide past.
In the valley under the cliff on the side of the road, strange rocks are craggy, and on top of a large boulder that rises from the protrusion, a small van with only the remains left is facing the sky on four wheels, I don't know if it was because of the erosion of wind and rain, or if it was on fire at the time, the body was as dark as a fire, and the twisted and deformed windows and doors were like the hideousness of a monster, as if with mockery, grinning at passers-by.
If you don't correct it in time and stabilize the body, you will fall down at the lightest, fall off the cliff at the worst, and rush into the river valley, and the end will be similar to the wreckage, which is enough to give birth to the consciousness of reincarnation and reincarnation.
At that moment, the heart has stopped beating, quietly waiting for the ending, the danger happened in an instant, and it was lifted in an instant, just when I felt extremely desperate, the wheels actually got rid of the sand, and it was right, I subconsciously grasped the direction, immediately braked and slowed down, and the motorcycle returned to normal driving, returned to the right path, and got out of the cliff, and a hanging heart was completely put down.
The hydropower station of Jianghan work, located in a remote mountainous area, is about the same scale as the dam head power station under the bath, the construction time is also about the same, the method is the same, in the era of lack of modern machinery, called on the people of the county, everyone holds high the "service for the people", "Yugong moves the mountain", "commemoration of Bethune" "old three", with its own cover, dry food, tools, gathered here, open the mountain to dig the road, build the embankment and dig the canal, and build it.
"High Gorge out of Ping Lake", how many miracles are born in this way, located in the middle of nowhere, inaccessible, rarely have the opportunity to see so closely, while climbing the stairs next to the embankment, while counting the progressions, about four or five hundred steps, the wide lake surface appears in front of you.
Turning around, looking down at the gate, the drop was so large that there was a feeling of dizziness, the water gushed out from the gate, and the huge roar seemed to shake people down the steps, and they felt even more dizzy and a little frightened.
People will win the day, perhaps only in that era, can be fully annotated, how much blood, sweat and even life have been paid, edified in the greatness of manpower, the soul has a sense of purification, perhaps this is also a kind of guidance, the guidance of life value positioning.
A large part of the reason why the recruit company wrote the most letters was because my cousin, who was studying at the normal school, published my letters to their class, and his classmates wrote to me one after another.
Among them, a female classmate of my cousin, whose name was the same as that of a boy, did not know the truth, and once called her brother in a reply, but she asked me to guess the gender, and the relationship deepened, and the correspondence continued. It lasted until she graduated and was assigned a job, and I was admitted to the military academy and became my first and last pen pal.
During the summer vacation, I had plenty of time, so I rushed to Yiyang to visit my cousin and cousins, and the feelings were deep, not only because of my father's affection, but also because we often had contact and contact with each other, including the eldest who was sent to my house, the second in the navy, the third and fifth in teaching and educating people, and the fourth in the police.
Yiyang is the hometown of the revolutionary ancestor Fang Zhimin, the great achievements of the martyrs are brilliant through the ages, a "Qing Poverty" is recited to future generations, leaving a huge spiritual wealth, the Guifeng that has been fought, the Danxia landform has its own peculiarities, and it has become a unique scenic spot.
One of the many impressions I made on this trip was to meet this pen pal whose name was like a boy and whom he had never met.
Arrived at Yiyang's cousin's house, they were still living in the countryside at that time, my cousin used his motorcycle, drove me from the countryside to the county seat, to find this pen pal, my cousin should be very familiar with this pen pal, the path is very familiar, after meeting, from the cousin's eyes, you can see some strange expressions, how specifically, what stories have been, maybe only they know.
In front of one of the doors, after the knock on the door, a string of pleasant young inquiries floated out, and after the cousin responded, the door opened, and a young girl appeared in front of him.
Dressed in a popular floral dress on a white background, with a fair face under shoulder-length short hair, delicate and white, it is really glamorous, although it is a cloudy day, but as soon as she appears, the sky seems to be a little brighter, and then I understand why my cousin's expression is different, and he must have pursued it for three years.
There are a lot of letters, but it is difficult to have words when we meet, the greeting is simple, the greeting is simple, the process is simpler, in order to highlight me, my cousin specifically mentioned that I am the commander of the probationary company in the military school, she doesn't seem to be interested in this, but I just met the pen pal, and I was really excited for a while.
The conditions are insufficient, no experience, nothing but happiness, if it is placed now, it will definitely meet for dinner to enhance understanding, at that time it was relatively simple, there was no such concept of communication, and the cousin's family lived in the countryside and was in a hurry to rush back, and soon said goodbye.
After this episode, I realized that the two do have some stories, and ideals always have to give way in the face of reality, this pen pal is assigned to a relatively remote rural school, and is trying to find a way to go to the city.
My cousin didn't have this ability, and his situation was not optimistic, so he was assigned to teach in another remote mountain village primary school, and the distance produced was not beauty, but the helplessness of reality, the family was not satisfied, the individual was not enthusiastic, and finally drifted away.
As a pen pal, there were a few letters later, between the lines, each other gradually polite, no longer as eager, perhaps after the meeting, less novelty, less mystery, since then the letters gradually fewer, after graduating from my military academy, soon she also changed schools, the correspondence was interrupted, no longer contact.
My cousin was teaching at the school at the time, and he also had a summer vacation, so he had plenty of time, so he took me to Guifeng to play, and the way of playing was very special, and he didn't buy tickets, he spoke with a local accent, and he rode a motorcycle to break in directly.
A morning when the air in the field is particularly fresh, take my cousin's motorcycle, comfortably walk through the country road, the rich Xinjiang Plain, the charm of the south of the Yangtze River is strong, the rice fields are fertile, one after another, as far as the eye can see, there are mountains in the distance, the lone peak is raised, the altitude is not too high, it is strange, it is Guifeng.
Danxia landform characteristics are obvious, it seems to be the whole of reddish-brown rocks, uneven, undulating, the rock is exposed, not an inch of grass grows, the years are polished, the common round and smooth, the wind and rain are eroded, there are sometimes potholes and nests, follow the mountain, sometimes towering and towering into a unique scene, sometimes the ravines stretch and stagger.
The vitality of the grass and trees is vigorous, sometimes growing, or scattered sporadically, the shrubs are low, the weeds are overgrown, or gathered into a forest, the years of siltation of sandy soil, gradually thickening and fattening, nurturing and growing, tall and straight, verdant and shady, covering the relics, hiding the cultural landscape.
The lonely peak stands tall and shows the steep and strange, the trees are full of quiet and beautiful, and the magic of nature is amazing.
Guifeng was originally called Guifeng, because the mountains and rocks overlap like turtles, so it was named, the later generations of literati to the turtle word is indecent, should not be viewed, damage the good name, with the homophonic "Gui" word instead, Gui originally refers to the ancient ritual vessels, highlighting the identity, the mountain is calm and simple, but there is a bit of Gui's charm.
Entering Guifeng, there are a lot of tourists, bustling, some are following the travel agency to organize a group, the tour guide leads forward, explains all the way, among the trees, there are stone steps winding, small traders and hawkers often appear on the roadside, selling drinks and snacks, as well as local unique handicrafts.
Enjoy the beautiful scenery, climb along the stone steps zigzags, under a cliff, the rock is naturally sunken, blocking the sun and wind and rain, an old man with a snow-white beard flowing, set up a fortune-telling stall, see tourists from a distance, greet warmly, there is an old woman not far away, put a fortune-telling stall, the same enthusiasm is abnormal.
In a few words, arouse interest, although I don't believe it, I can't stand the persuasion, I insist on everything to follow the fate, if I can calculate it accurately and then repay my wish in the future, maybe this is the experience they have accumulated, the ultimate goal is to increase their income, sit idle for a while, listen to some Qi language, whether it is spiritual or not, play again after many years, return a wish, as a heart knot to untie.
The status of the student, the allowance is meager, I can't afford to spend this money, my cousin has just joined the work, and the family situation needs to be improved urgently, so I don't dare to spend money at will, otherwise I won't be a teacher, and I won't buy a ticket to break into the scenic spot.
Go further, keep up with a tour group, follow up like a lively one, listen to some historical allusions and stories and legends, understand some of the ins and outs of the development of the origin, there is a rock adjacent to each other, down into a narrow road, the tour guide called this place called a line of sky, the origin of the name of the explanation, and the first line of heaven of Hangzhou Lingyin is the same.
Curious, I chatted with the tour guide about the legend of the sky, and after listening to me say it in such detail, the tour guide was suspicious, and quietly asked me if I was sent from above to make an unannounced inspection, which made me unexpected, seeing that she was so cautious, she didn't follow again, and my cousin praised me for my nonsense because of this matter.
The holiday is unrestrained, from the extremely tense and extremely strict management environment, to the relaxed and casual that is free and unrestrained, which is in line with the words of the sage, "one piece and one relaxation of the way of civil and martial arts".
On the way back and forth, take the train through the mountains, the hollow valley is deep and verdant, the idea of hiking once will always come to mind, how many beautiful scenery in the world, missed because of hesitation, how many opportunities, lost due to hesitation, and how much growth, because of gains and losses, and finally become dull.
