The car departed on time, and the journey from the county seat to the previous Zhiqing Point by car was not close, and it took more than three hours, but with Wang Hu and the dog baby on the way, Luoyang was not lonely this journey.

Along the way, they talked about a lot of past events, and some of them even Luo Yang had already memorized Mohu, but when Wang Hu mentioned it, Luo Yang's mind instantly thought about it one by one as if he had put it back in a film.

Finally arrived at the place, got out of the car, and after the car drove away in front of him, Luo Yang looked ahead, and he could see the small black spot on the empty plain in the distance, this black spot was the educated youth point that Luo Yang had stayed in the countryside for several years.

Looking ahead, Luo Yang's heart had an indescribable feeling for a while, excitement, expectation, remembrance, and ......pain.

"Luoyang, it's too late today, the Zhiqing Point is now abandoned, there is nothing, come with me first, go to my side for a night and wait for tomorrow to come and see?" On the side, Wang Hu opened his mouth and said, Luo Yang nodded silently, and followed Wang Hu in another direction.

Wang Hu's ranger's hut is actually Wang Hu's home before, this place Luoyang has been to several times before, when he saw this hut, many buried memories in his heart poured out.

The hut is not very big, one in front and one behind, the front is for living, and the back is for putting sundries or something.

On the left side of the hut is a small vegetable field, which can be used to grow vegetables and grains in the long winter in the north, and after harvesting, the vegetables can be dried to make pickles, pickles, etc., or stored in the cellar for winter.

Dinner was eaten at Wang Hu's place, although Wang Hu now eats the imperial grain, but the salary of the forest ranger is not high, and the sister-in-law has no job.

So Wang Hu in addition to the daily patrol work also have to pick up the old line of hunting, of course, now hunting is not as good as before, before the mountains and forests of the things hunted casually no one cared, but since last year there have been new regulations, many things can not be played, even if you want to fight is sneaky, Wang Hu as a ranger can not know the law and break the law, so at most when patrolling happened to hit a rabbit, get a pheasant or something.

"The Reborn Financial Giant"

As for the grain, there is a quota, the Great Northern Wilderness is not as good as Yanjing, there are basically more coarse grains and less fine grains all year round, plus the salary of forest rangers is not high, and it is a big problem for three people in the family to eat grain, so Wang Hu's family rarely eats fine grains. Besides, Wang Hu's wife's belly is getting bigger these days, for her body and the child in her belly, the good things in the family are left to her wife, and it is also a lot of money to go to the hospital to give birth, so she saves more and more, which is also the reason why the dog baby has not eaten white flour steamed buns for a long time, and she will be happy to see it.

Ordinary people always think that being a hunter is a very good profession, hitting the prey to eat a mouth full of oil or something, in fact, the life of the hunter is far from as good as imagined, the real hunter is also hungry and full, especially after the heavy snow falls in winter, the job of hunting is almost impossible to do, there is no harvest without prey, and you can only eat the old book.

In addition, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are just to say, as soon as the later generations heard about the hunters and fishermen, they thought of the big fish and the big meat desperately made, in fact, this point of view is wrong, not to mention the difference between the hunted things and the breeding, this meat is not mentioned with oil and water, and it is old and firewood, and it really has to rely on seasonings and ingredients to make it delicious. To describe it in a bad sentence, I saw the thief eating meat and not seeing the thief being beaten, which is not rough.

Luo Yang brought a lot of dry food, all of which were white-flour steamed buns he bought when he got on the train, after all, he had been here for many years and knew what the situation was like here.

In order to entertain Luo Yang, Wang Hu deliberately cut a large piece of bacon left over during the Spring Festival, and then added dried vegetables and dried mushrooms made by himself to cook a big pot, originally according to Wang Hu's intentions, he also planned to go to the forest to see what else he wanted, but Luo Yang refused, after all, he knew Wang Hu's family conditions, plus the sky was about to get dark, and it was not an outsider who didn't need to do this.

It was dark early in the woods, and the journey was tiring, so the two chatted for a while and then lay down to sleep.

Luo Yang slept on a makeshift bed with a door panel, a new mattress and hay underneath.

Lying on the bed, smelling the familiar fragrance of grass, the tired Luo Yang quickly fell asleep, but he woke up in the early hours of the morning, and he couldn't sleep anymore.

Outside, the rustle of the wind could be heard, and from time to time there was the sound of unknown birdsong.

Luo Yang got up, put on his coat and walked out of the house, took a breath of the slightly cold air outside, and stood in the open space outside the wooden house, looking up at the brilliant galaxy.

Looking at the sky blankly, Luo Yang's heart was quiet at this time, how long had he not felt like this for a long time, and Luo Yang couldn't remember it clearly.

I don't know how long it took, Luo Yang, who was quiet here, was pulled back to reality by the sound behind him, and when he looked back, it was Wang Hu.

"Brother Huzi."

"What? Can't sleep? ”

Luo Yang nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Wang Hu, then lit one himself and took a deep breath: "I won't hide it from you, Brother Huzi, after I go back, I often dream of the scene in front of me as soon as I dream, the Great Northern Wilderness, the Educated Youth, the Black Land, and the Forest...... There are also former comrades-in-arms of educated youth...... There are so many places left for me that I will never forget in my life. ”

Wang Hu patted Luo Yang's shoulder and didn't say anything, but he understood the meaning of Luo Yang's words in his heart.

"Wait until dawn to go to the Zhiqing Point to have a look?"

Luo Yang shook his head: "Zhiqing, let's go later, let's go and see the red flag first, this time I came back mainly to see their ......." ”

"It's okay to take a look, and when you're done, I'll let go of it, and I'll accompany you later."

"Thank you, Brother Huzi."

"Thanks, shouldn't this be." Wang Hu said, took a few puffs of cigarette and turned back into the house, leaving Luo Yang alone outside the house, he sat in front of the door in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After waiting for dawn, the three of them had a simple breakfast, and after sorting out the things to bring, Luo Yang carried the bag on his back, accompanied by Wang Hu and the dog baby, and walked towards the other end of the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After walking for about half an hour, the forest in front of me became sparse, and the soil on the ground was slightly different from the previous forest, and the signs of fire could be clearly seen.

In this somewhat sparse forest, there are also young grasses and saplings growing, but these grasses and saplings can be seen in a few years, and in many places you can see blackened dead branches and broken trees.

Walking further, after walking for nearly half an hour, there were several graves standing in a clearing in front of them, these tombs were very poorly built, the grave bag was a slightly raised mound, and the tombstone was not a good monument, it was a long stone strip made of coarse granite and then erected.

When he saw these graves, Luo Yang's footsteps suddenly stopped, his face was covered with tears, and his hands trembled slightly involuntarily.

Zhou Hongqi, Jiang Aiguo, Ma Xiaojun, Liu Lan, He Yuanjun .......

As far as the eye can see, a familiar name is engraved on the tombstone, each name represents a once fresh life, but they left this world at the best moment of their lives, at this moment, Luo Yang seemed to see them standing in front of his eyes, smiling at himself, greeting and greeting ...... cordially.

"I ...... I've come to see you....... Luo Yang said softly in a hoarse voice, he walked forward slowly, squatted down in front of Zhou Hongqi's stele, gently stroked the dust on the tombstone, and the big tears couldn't help but fall.

At first, he sobbed softly, and soon it became an irrepressible cry, Luo Yang cried so sadly, as if he had poured out all the things that had been buried in his heart at this time.

Looking at Luo Yang's appearance, Wang Hu sighed, he didn't go up to disturb Luo Yang, just waited quietly, and after a while Luo Yang's mood stabilized a little, he took the tools he brought and stepped forward to help clean up.

Luo Yang, Wang Hu and the dog baby also came to help, and took a while to clean the grave, remove weeds and dust, and after finishing it, Luo Yang took out the things he brought from his bag one by one, including the flowers he had specially picked just now, the pastries he had bought in advance from Yanjing, the good wine he had brought along the way, and some other items he had brought with him before coming.

One by one, these things were placed in front of each tombstone, Luo Yang poured wine in all the cups, and finally picked up a glass in front of him, stood up and sprinkled it on the ground, and muttered in his mouth: "I came to see you, I originally wanted to come early, but I never came, I didn't think that so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, I came late, don't blame me." ”

"Before coming here, I have been to see your home, and I have been taking care of it all these years, you can rest assured over there, as long as I am Luoyang, your family will definitely not need food and clothing, your parents are my parents, your brothers and sisters are also my brothers and sisters, I will always take care of their ......."

As he spoke, Luo Yang filled his wine glass with wine, raised his hand to the sky and drank it cleanly, then knelt down towards the grave, kowtowed three times, and continued with a whimpering voice on his knees: "Originally, I should have been here with you, but back then, I ...... I became a deserter...... ”

Luo Yang cried and said a lot of words to the grave, these words had been held in his heart for too long, too long, and as he spoke, he drank wine, as if only alcohol could make him feel better now.

"Dad, what's wrong with Uncle Luo?" More than ten meters away, Wang Hu sat on a tree stump, and there was a dog baby standing on the side, and the dog's big round eyes looked curiously at Luo Yang, who was crying and talking and pouring wine into his mouth, and looked up and asked his father in confusion.

"Uncle Luo is tired and bitter, don't bother Uncle Luo, just let Uncle Luo cry well...... Wang Hu said softly, the dog baby didn't understand the meaning of his father's words, but he understood that his father didn't let him disturb this crying uncle, and the ignorant dog baby leaned quietly on Wang Hu's side, obediently and didn't ask anything more.
