36 A highway for one

The jeep was jolting in the desert, and seeing that the car was bumpy and bumpy, the driver was at full speed.

In the car, Kang Liancheng talked about the process of getting to know Lu Li's father Lu Yifu, recalling the past green years, which made the corners of the eyes of people who were almost forty a little moist, especially when he knew the news of Lu Yifu's death, the neighboring desert, this sadness was even stronger.

"Governor Kang, I ......"

Kang Liancheng took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corners of his eyes, he is a person who has dedicated his life to the cause of the construction of the motherland, their generation is pure people, because they are soldiers of China, they have something clean in their eyes, and they have the character that their generation adheres to.

"Don't call me Governor Kang, call me Uncle Kang! Your father still entrusted me to take care of you, for so many years, he didn't tell me your address, just told me that one day you would come to the desert, hey, your father is a tough man!"

After Kang Liancheng finished speaking, Lu Li was even more puzzled about his father's life experience, in the small earthen house, the first time Lu Li saw him, he was an emaciated old man who could no longer be emaciated, he lived very shabby, ate very shabby, and even died, he died so shabby.

Therefore, Lu Li wants to understand him more and more, although since he was born, he has never come to see him, although ......

"Uncle Kang, why is my father a stubborn person?"

Lu Li sat in the jeep, the desert outside the window was windy, the wind blew a piece of wind and sand, and the wind and sand blew the sand dunes and headed towards the Gobi Desert.

Speaking of Lu Yifu's stubbornness, Kang Liancheng has a deep understanding.

When Kang Liancheng was working as a cannery worker in Lan City, Hanxi Province, Lu Yifu once passed by him, because he was a comrade-in-arms, he stayed in Lan City for a day, and the next day he led the expedition into the desert.

After Lu Yifu entered the desert, the raging Saha Desert soon stopped, except for a small sandstorm in the spring, there was no such big sandstorm as 27 years.

And, from the moment Lu Yifu entered the desert, he was never heard from, just when others thought that he died to stop the furious sandstorm of the Shaha Desert, after four years of absence, Lu Yifu actually came out of the desert!

After Lu Yifu came out, his appearance instantly caused a sensation all over the world, because he was the only one who entered the Saha Desert, which even satellites could not visit, and he still came out alive!

So, people gave him a nickname, the Desert Explorer!

However, after Lu Yifu came out of the desert, he was not invited to Shengjing to attend the welcome party held for him by Huaguo, nor did he be invited by Kang Liancheng to be the deputy director of the cannery. He just hurriedly sent a child to his hometown and then returned to the desert.

At this time, Kang Liancheng, who was already a cannery factory in Lancheng, also took leave to visit him on the edge of the desert, and the two of them drank in an earthen hut where the wind could not blow.

Kang Liancheng said: "Brother Lu, come with me to the cannery, now the workers are very popular, not to mention that our canning factory is state-run, and we will also have a retirement salary when we are old." ”

Lu Yifu saw his old comrades-in-arms, he drank too much, he said that he could not leave the desert, he reached an agreement with the desert, he would exchange his life for the peace of China, if his life was not valuable, he would exchange the lives of his children and grandchildren for the peace of China.

Kang Liancheng thought that he was reluctant to leave the desert because his wife died in the desert, he was unwilling to leave the desert, he did not want to let his wife's soul feel lonely in the desert.

Therefore, Kang Liancheng left later, he didn't ask Lu Yifu what he saw in the desert, because he knew, if he asked, Lu Yifu would not tell him, it was a secret he kept, and he was unwilling to answer even when the leader asked him.

Therefore, Kang Liancheng was later promoted to the head of a district in Lancheng because of his outstanding work, then the mayor of Lancheng, and finally the current governor of Hanxi Province. After becoming the governor, Huaguo has been preparing for the Ancient Tea Horse Road in recent years, and Hanxi Province is the starting point of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and Kangliancheng has been busy.

I haven't come to visit Lu Yifu for nearly two years, but I didn't expect him to pass away quietly.

People die by fate, Lu Li knows that it is all in the past, and now, he has replaced his father's class and also came to the desert.

Seeing that Kang Liancheng had been in Hanxi Province for most of his life, Lu Li suddenly wanted to ask him a question, yes, this question had puzzled him for a long time.

"Uncle Kang, can I ask you a question?"

Lu Li looked at Kang Liancheng and asked, Kang Liancheng nodded, don't say one question, even ten questions he allowed him to ask.

"Why did Huaguo build a road to the Hasha Desert? There are no cities, no factories, and no people, so why would Huaguo spend so much money to build such a good road here?"

That's right, Lu Li was curious about this question from the first day he came to the Hasha Desert, he had always wondered if there was any purpose for the construction of this road, whether Huaguo or Hanxi Province had found something in the desert, so they built this road to the desert, and then wanted to do something.

If that's the case, Lu Li Ke will really think about his town, and he doesn't want to be a scapegoat.

Speaking of the road in front of him, Kang Liancheng laughed: "Lu Li, don't you know! This road has been under construction for almost twenty years. The reason for building this road in the first place was very simple, that is, your father didn't want to go anywhere, he had to stay in the desert, but your father made a lot of contributions and sacrifices for our country, so ......"

That's right, I'm afraid that the reason for the construction of this road will make no one believe it, this road is because Lu Yifu wants to live in the desert, so in order to satisfy his food and accommodation, the Chinese leader at that time slapped the table and said: "We must not let such a hero treat such a hero, a soldier who does not seek fame and fortune and does not care about remuneration, we must not let him chill!"

Therefore, since Lu Yifu wants to live in the desert, then Huaguo will directly build him a road from the desert to the border city, which is specially built for Lu Yifu alone!

At that time, the Chinese had to build the road directly to the earthen house where Lu Yifu lived, but because according to the United Nations, their border was to stop at the desert, so the road could only be built along the border.

It's just that the Huaguo Highway at that time was not so wide, and the current spacious highway was widened on the basis of the original, and the reason for the widening was because Huaguo wanted to open the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and this is the starting point of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, so this highway was listed as a national highway.
