Chapter 6 Paradise

I rubbed my eyes, and found that the sand mountain had become small and small in the distance, and it was unknown whether it was me who was dazzled just now or whether the Buddha really stuck out his stone head and smiled at me. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The golden sunset slowly disappeared, even if Pang Zhi didn't want to camp, he couldn't do it, driving at night in the desert was looking for death, not to mention that the desert temperature at night plummeted, which could freeze people to death. After piling up the bags on the windshield to plug the gap, the five of us recorded sleeping in a group in the carriage.

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight rose over the horizon, the snow and frost had melted, and the rippling yellow sand began to flow on the rolling hills after the first wind blew. After hurriedly eating a biscuit, drinking a few sips of water, and setting off in the northwest direction again, the company commander on the road talked about the mountain market he saw yesterday in order to relieve our boredom.

He said that during his six years in Qinghai, he heard the most rumors about the temple among herdsmen, and according to legend, only after experiencing the trial of life and death of the devil, the door of the temple will be open for the lucky ones, as long as you walk all the way in the direction of the temple, you will see the same situation as the god world, where you can live a carefree life.

I pouted, and I have to say that this story, like most fairy tales, ends with a life full of happiness and joy. Maybe it's the herdsmen's pursuit of a simple and simple life, but after listening to it too much, I always feel ridiculous, it's just a mountain city, how can there really be a temple, as soldiers in the new era, Zhang Yuan and Qi Jianguo actually listened to it with relish.

Really convinced both of them.

Listening to the company commander telling the story, I couldn't help but sink into the recollection, how did the memory that suddenly appeared in my mind come from, I always feel very familiar, especially when I hear the story of the bald tail Lao Li, a strange creature that is half human and half dragon will appear in my mind, have I experienced it? And then I forgot?

I tapped my fingers, and calculated that every memory from reading to joining the army was coherent, and there was no gap, and suddenly, my head suddenly hurt, as if I had been electrocuted, and I couldn't help but secretly say: Is it someone else's memory?

But that's a bit of a, plus me, it's only five people around, where are the others? Just when I was thinking about it, He Miao, who was driving, hesitated and said: "Company commander, the road doesn't seem right, according to the itinerary, it should be close to the Great Salt Flat National Highway 305, but you see, this is still an endless desert, the diameter of the desert on the side of Zongma is only more than 200 kilometers, this morning we have walked nearly 100 kilometers, plus yesterday's distance, no matter how you say, you should be able to see 305 National Highway." ”

The company commander took out the compass in the drawer of the dashboard, his face suddenly looked bad, Zhang Yuan and they leaned over to take a look, and the compass pointer stopped there motionless.

"Will it break?" Qi Jianguo asked in a low voice.

Zhang Yuan shook his head, "It can't be broken, I deliberately replaced it with a new one before leaving, and I tried it, how could it be broken." ”

"Looks like he's really lost." The company commander sighed and threw the compass back into the drawer, rubbed his face and said: "Next, it depends on luck, no matter how bad things happen, let us encounter this trip, but don't be discouraged, our soldiers don't even have this concentration, what are we talking about defending the country?" If you panic, think more about the ancestors on the Long March back then, and see how they crossed the mountains and mountains. ”

I didn't panic, anyway, my mind was full of those inexplicable memory pictures, for a while and a half I didn't have the turn to want to get lost, looking at the yellow sand flying outside the car, the surrounding gray patch, as if out of the world, into another strange realm, want to exit is unrealistic, the way to come is gone, tire tracks are unconsciously covered by the flowing yellow sand, and no longer can find any track to follow.

Is it just walking aimlessly?

There are still two barrels of gasoline left in the back tank to use, and we hope to make it to National Highway 305 in the Great Salt Flats, where our supply depot is located. After driving for almost half an hour, stones of different sizes began to appear on the sand surface, and the sand under the wheels also began to rise and fall, the company commander realized something, and quickly poked half of his body out of the car window, set up a telescope to observe forward, and soon he retracted and said with a smile: "Chairman bless, revolutionary martyrs bless, the road ahead began to run out of sand and became hard ground, indicating that there is land ahead, there is an oasis, young men, we are about to leave this desert." ”

The company commander's words were immediately welcomed by everyone, and my hanging heart was relaxed.

After driving two or three kilometers, as the company commander said, the wheels left the soft and hot sand and drove onto the brownish-yellow hard soil, the wheels had a grip, and the speed increased significantly.

At this time, we looked straight ahead, that is, in the northwest direction, and a large mountain outside the Gobi Desert appeared and disappeared.

In the center of the area, a sparkling lake immediately caught our attention, and everyone including me was ecstatic, and before we knew it, the speed of the car had also increased considerably.

When entering a large poplar forest, a straight road stretched in the forest, and the company commander immediately became alert and motioned for He Miao to lower the speed, "There are people here?" ”

These words immediately aroused our vigilance, and we all opened the safety of the Type 81 rifle and held it in our hands. As the car slowly drove into the road with obvious artificial traces, a village outside the forest mouth immediately came into our eyes, this is a village with little cooking smoke, and we even saw many people planting crops on the hard and dry land, women washing rice and washing clothes by the lake, and many children chasing each other on the roadside at the entrance of the village.

Most of the clothes of the village people are linen antique, which is very strange in this era, most of the buildings in the village are made of rocks, and only the girder is used Hu Yang wood.

The company commander gently lowered his hand behind our backs, meaning that we should not ask first, but go over and see the situation.

If there are not too many doubts, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise here. When the car stopped on the side of the road, the movement caused was not insignificant, and the busy croppers stopped their work and stopped to look at our group.

"Be vigilant and take a look into the village." The company commander's hand was always on the holster at his waist and never left.

I looked at the scenery here curiously, inadvertently, looking at these villagers, I always felt that something was wrong, and the mountains behind the village were also shrouded in mist, and there was also a sense of déjà vu.

After entering the entrance of the village, the village was already silent, and more people turned their heads to look at our group of outsiders, and an old man came over at this time, with a smile on his thin cheeks, and said very politely: "Guests from afar, welcome to Longquan." ”
