The black horse's trail left a trail of bright red blood on the dirt road, and the black horse stood quietly panting, not realizing that his new master would have to leave forever.

Judging from the scene, we don't know if the dark horse was frightened halfway or other unknown reasons, after the defenseless Chen Jing fell off the horse, his head happened to touch the hard object on the ground, and the galloping black horse dragged Chen Jing, whose life and death were unknown, to run all the way back to the Tianshan Commune.

This young intellectual, who had left his hometown and traveled thousands of miles to Tianshan Commune to support Xinjiang's education cause, died in such a tragic way at the age of 24, leaving behind a young wife and a posthumous son.

The Tian family of Quang Non Commune has also been having a bad time recently, and the four brothers and sisters are facing a situation of separating their families and setting up their own doors.

In order to take care of Pang Jie's widow, Guangren Commune decided to let Tian Kunrong, who is very skilled in cooking, come to the commune as a canteen master to cook a big pot of rice, and Mrs. Tian as a cook.

The commune specially vacated two adobe houses next to the canteen for Tian Kunrong's mother and daughter to live with Mrs. Tian, and the three grandmothers and the fetus in Tian Kunrong's womb moved into the office space of Guangren Commune.

The ingenious Zhang Huayin sewed clothes for the neighbors of Quang Non Commune, and did not have to go to the production team every day to work hard to earn labor, and he could exchange a lot of eggs, wowotou, milk and so on with his skillful strength.

The cautious Zhang Hua is a calculating person, she does not want to let the eldest uncle and the younger brother-in-law's family share the fruits of her labor, so she took the initiative to split the family, and the family of three moved to the third production brigade in the northernmost part of Guangren Commune, and the couple worked as tailors.

His wife, Zhao Xing, was too weak and sick to go to the farmland to earn work, and Tian Kunshu alone could not support the family.

Tian Kunshu heard that he earned more work in the county seat than in the commune, so his family of three also left the Guangren commune and went to the county seat to work as a coolie to earn work.

In less than a year, the four brothers and sisters of the Tian family went their separate ways and lived their own small lives.

Tian Kunhe, who stayed in Quang Nhon Commune, looked at his worried wife with a sad face, and then looked at the adobe house that had been washed away by the flood.

He obeyed Wang Ling's arrangement, and with the help of the production team, he rammed a thick adobe house with loess in the open space next to Wang Ling and Buick Polati's house.

In addition to following the production team to transfer livestock, according to the arrangement of the production team, Tian Kunhe actively participated in the labor in the field to earn work.

Holding the agricultural tools issued to him by the production team--- Kantuman is a farm tool that looks two or three times larger than the hoe used to hoe grass in his hometown, which is cumbersome and inconvenient, and is the only agricultural tool with Western characteristics for the people of the Second Production Brigade of Quang Non Commune.

In the early morning of this day, after watering the corn at night, Tian Kunhe gnawed two nests, and without resting, he went to the compound of Guangren Commune to find a carpenter Han, and borrowed his tools to make a rectangular wooden shovel and an oval wooden shovel similar to the shape of an iron shovel.

Carrying two wooden shovels to the house of the team leader Wang Ling, he told Wang Ling that there is a kind of shovel in his hometown, which is easy to use and easy to do.

He asked Wang Ling to take two wooden shovels to the wheat pile in the production team's drying field, and use two wooden shovels to raise wheat, Wang Ling used it and grinned.

Wang Ling's eyes lit up and he looked at the tall Tian Kunhe, "Xiao Tian, the melon seeds in your head are bright enough, this is much easier to use than Kantuman, I heard that there are many farmers in Urumqi who use this family, and it is the first time I have seen it in our Guangren." ”

In view of the fact that there were not many iron cantomans left in the previous years of the production team, Wang Ling took out two discarded cantomans and sent them to the blacksmith shop in Yunus, the village entrance, and asked him to make two shovels according to the mold of the oval wooden shovel made by Tian Kunhe.

Yi Lixian and the members of the Tianshan Commune buried Chen Jing in this hot land at the foot of Wusun Mountain, and he wiped away his tears and continued to continue the "school on horseback" alone.

In the area east of the Tianshan Commune, the Galasu Commune was established, and Rong Mao, a young man from Shanghai, took over the teaching of school-age children and teenagers there, and established the Galasu Primary School, which was also a school on horseback.

In addition to riding horses to teach children scattered in different places, Elixian and Rong Mao of Galasu also undertook the work of "eradicating" the illiteracy of farmers and herdsmen.

In the alpine pasture of Tianshan Commune, more than a dozen yurts of the production team are scattered across the vast expanse of grassland, surrounded by lush pine forests, as well as gurgling forest streams, large clouds within reach, and horses, cattle and sheep roaming the grassland, making Yi Lixian fall in love with this beautiful and boundless grassland.

Seeing that there was no trace of crops in the endless grassland, I knew from chatting with the herdsmen of the commune that although the Tianshan Commune is close to the Wusun Mountain, and the snow on the mountain makes the water and grass abundant here, it is not suitable for farming due to the insufficient soil temperature and the short frost-free period.

A few years ago, the commune tried to grow rapeseed, but the alpine climate was unpredictable, and the hail and the sudden fall of June snow caused the crops to be lost, and it became the pasture of a single nomadic people, all of whom were herders.

Yi Lixian decided to set up camp in Tien Shan Commune, but living in Diwozi for a long time was not an option, and he had to start by improving his living environment.

Tianshan Commune is at the foot of Wusun Mountain, with an obvious alpine climate, and just now it was still empty, and in an instant, there was a downpour or hail the size of a pigeon's egg.

Especially when it rains heavily, even if a waterproof dam is made of black soil at the entrance of the nest, it has become common for rainwater to pour into the nest, and the bedding is often soaked and floated by the rainwater poured into the nest.

The clever Elixian looked at the dense pine forests on Mount Wusun and the ground beneath his feet, and thought, why not build a house with local materials?

In winter, you can live in a nest, but in summer, you can build a wooden house to solve the problem of rainwater pouring into your house, and Eli Xian also considered the idea of building an adobe house with tamped earth walls.

However, when he proposed to the secretary of the commune, Selik, to build an adobe house, Selik picked out the ground under his feet with his hands on the spot, and saw that there was no sticky black soil on Selik's hands, and Elixian realized that his idea was really naïve.

The Tianshan Commune is black soil, unlike the yellow earth that can be seen everywhere in Guangren Commune, and even the two offices of the commune were built by the People's Liberation Army guarding the border by the Muzart River in the northwest border of the motherland.

When Elixian told Selik that he could build a wooden house with pine, Selik smoked a cigarette and thought about it for a while, and then relented.

The work of building a log cabin began in full swing, and Eli Xian, the designer of the wooden house, took the first step to go to the mountains to cut down pine logs.

Less than three months after arriving in the Tien Shan Commune, Yi Lixian and the men at the foot of the Tien Shan Shan cut down pine trees in Wusun Mountain, and then loaded the logs on the wagon and pulled them back one by one.

Standing in the wooden houses with the scent of pine wood, young Elixian was moved to tears, which would henceforth be his home.

After returning from a meeting in the county seat, Selik was so excited that he told Yi Lixian that another group of young people from the border had come from his mouth (in the mainland), and that the Tianshan Commune and the Galasu Commune had allocated several intellectual youths, and I heard that there were two or three female comrades.

He had to build a wooden house for his comrades, so Elixian led a team to drive the carriage to Wusun Mountain, and cut down some pine wood.

This time, only one wooden house was built, and the scale was small, and Selik arranged for Yi Lixian to arrange for two Kazakh members to go.

The three guys took turns pulling with a chainsaw, and after a long time, they finally sawed enough raw materials to build a wooden house.

They cooperated in carrying the heavy logs down the hill and loading them onto the wagon, each of which the two members drove back.

Elixian rode back alone on horseback, and for the sake of convenience, he was about to take a shortcut back to the commune, but just as he waved goodbye to the members, the brown horse accidentally stepped on a snake in the grass, and the venomous snake instinctively reacted and bit the horse's hoof.

The brown horse was frightened by the attack of the snake and ran away, and the unsuspecting Elixian fell off the horse, and the back of his head touched a small rock with a not very smooth edge, and he fell unconscious and bled profusely.

Seeing this, the two Kazakh members quickly lassoed the frightened horse with a rope and rescued Yi Lixian from under the horse.

Secretary Selik put Yi Lixian in the carriage and rushed to Zhaosu County Hospital overnight, but fortunately, he found that the rescue was timely, and Yi Lixian did not have the tragedy of Chen Jing's eldest brother, and he received nearly fifteen stitches on the back of his head, leaving a long earthworm-like scar.

Rong Mao, the principal of Galasu Commune, and two young teachers under his command also began the teaching task of "school on horseback".

One of the beautiful female teachers Qin Min is a young man from Hunan, in the day and night with the Shanghai branch teacher Rong Mao, mutual love, the two held a wedding in the simple nest, the following year gave birth to the eldest son Rong Fan, and then daughter Rong Yu and the second son Rong Cong were born in the grassland under the Wusun Mountain.

Tian Kunhe and Ji Yue'e of Guangren Commune also gave birth to the eldest son Tian Miao, the second son Tian Sui, and the third son Tianzhuang one after another.

At the end of the year Pang Jie died, Tian Kunrong gave birth to a posthumous son, but before she could choose a name, she died halfway, and the ill-fated Tian Kunrong was heartbroken again.

Tian Kunshu, who became a member of the county handicraft association, and Zhao Xing's second son Tian Liu and daughter Tian Tao were also born one after another.

Tian Kunpeng, a member of the 3rd Production Brigade of Quang Non Commune, and his wife, Zhang Hua, were born as a tailor.

Yi Lixian at the foot of Wusun Mountain lived in Tianshan Commune for three years, and also met Xiao An, the woman of his fate, who was a young man from the same township.

On the day of his wedding to his wife, who was five years younger than him, Yi Lixian, a 24-year-old bereaved family member of the martyr, rode a tall horse and took his wife to the Gedeng Monument in the west of Tien Shan Commune to hold a simple and solemn wedding.

No one attended this simple wedding, only the sky and the earth, the blue sky and white clouds testified, and the Gedeng Monument that has stood in front of me for more than 200 years.

This giant granite boundary monument with a height of 2.95 meters, a width of about 0.83 meters and a thickness of 0.27 meters on the east bank of the Sumubar River on the Sino-Soviet border is the only imperial pen of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in Xinjiang.

The full name is "The Monument of Pingding Junggar Le Mingge Mountaineering", and the two sides of the monument are engraved with four kinds of inscriptions in Chinese, Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan.

Although the stele has been eroded and stripped by wind and rain, the inscription is mottled, but the overall stele is intact, this stele that will not make a sound silently tells the ancient "yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned in the end", and it also proves the unification of the motherland.

After the hot-blooded boy Yi Lixian and his wife stood in front of the stele to pay homage to the stele, the young man on the side held hands and hugged the mottled stele, and recited aloud 210 words such as "Cui Wei of Gedeng Thief Solidify His Fortress and My Master Solid Self-Destruction ......", he seemed to see the ancient Jin Ge Iron Horse and the beacon fire and smoke of the territory.

After the young newlyweds recited the inscription, Yi Lixian was already in tears, and he knelt in front of the monument with a "plop" sound, facing the east, which was the direction of his hometown in Shandong.

Yi Lixian roared loudly in his thick Lubei dialect: "Lord--you defended the country and died on the battlefield in Korea, Er Xianda inherited your mantle, left his hometown to teach and solve his doubts in the frontier, Master, you can close your eyes under the Nine Springs." ”

The empty valley echoed for a long time, "You can close your eyes, you can close your eyes, you can close your eyes." The echo is so clear and long-lasting.

The pace of time hurried and stumbled, and in the blink of an eye, in 1968, Yi Lixian's eldest son Yi Yuxin was born in Tianshan Commune.

For the three brothers Tian Kunhe, Tian Kunpeng and Tian Kunshu of Guangren Commune, life is becoming more and more difficult.

Compared with when he came to Quang Non Commune, although he built two large adobe houses and Tian Kunhe also raised three sons and one daughter, life became more and more difficult, and a heavy mountain weighed down the three brothers.

But Tian Kunhe always remembered the six words that his mother, Mrs. Tian, made the three brothers remember: boil slowly, get confused.

The father who already has three sons, one daughter and four children, Tian Kunhe, who has just passed the year of establishment, always believes that good days will always come, and before everything gets better, he will always experience some uncomfortable days, which may be very long, or maybe just wake up.

For Tian Kunpeng, the second eldest of the Tian family, happiness always has to sacrifice his life to find it, but misfortune will be as pervasive and unguardable as a poisonous snake.

Since he was a child, he was born cowardly, and in the face of an increasingly difficult life, Tian Kunpeng did not have the tenacity of the eagle striking the sky as expected by the elders who named him, he always wanted to retreat, and his heart began to retreat, whether he could still live.

Tian Kunpeng and his wife, who are good tailors, have been sewing clothes for their neighbors a few years ago, and they have been getting into trouble for themselves over the years.

On this day, Tian Kunpeng, who was physically and mentally exhausted, dragged his heavy footsteps towards his adobe house, and more than a dozen black eagles (crows) fell on a poplar tree on the side of the road, barking at him non-stop, just like Tian Kunpeng's bleak and miserable state of mind at the moment.
