Eternal Sand Sea Chapter 25: Decision

I thought that this accident would take us away for investigation, but only Qian Jin was briefly questioned by the instructor and the people sent by the organization, as if what happened in the Huanglong Temple had never happened at all, perhaps because the crisis on Zhenbao Island was getting worse, and it was rumored that the Soviet big brother was going to use a nuclear strike against us, and he was suppressed lightly because he couldn't take care of it at the moment.

However, after this incident, the higher-level leaders also considered that the participation of outsiders would cause unforeseen consequences, so after a plenary meeting, they decided to withdraw our batch of educated youths from the production brigade.

It was a very honorable thing to participate in the construction of civil air defense, at least to contribute to the support of national construction, but I didn't expect to return home in such a way, everyone felt that their faces were a little unbearable, so people with different educated youth points were no longer as close as usual, and they each started small groups, this group of 30 people went back scattered and took care of themselves, and the comrades who followed them with the educated youth point wanted to return to Jixi Village, and Qian Jin disappeared since the repatriation conference, so in the end, only Brother Wei Guo, Qiangzi and I became a "gang of three".

"You said that we had such a good relationship with glasses before, and he didn't go with us." Hadron looked at the glasses that had gone away and muttered.

"This kind of sensitive time, the most important thing is not to stand in the wrong team, although everyone is the same production team, but the youth point is not together, if you go back and be beaten and reported that you are special, it will be difficult to mix the days in the team in the future." Brother Wei Guo is older and thinks more comprehensively.

I'm right, after all, Glasses is an activist who learns from Mao Xuan, and I can't guess what he's thinking, but the relationship is definitely not as close as before.

It is about 50 kilometers from Wuxi Mountain to Jilian Village, and it is a mountain road, no matter how fast our feet are, it will take two days to get there, and we can see that the closest place to us at this time is Biyang Town, so we decided to go to the town more than ten kilometers away from here to rectify and rest.

I wasn't in the mood to talk nonsense with Qiangzi along the way, the two of them chatted hotly, I would think of the little steel cannon from time to time, like a heavy punch on my chest from time to time faint pain, in addition to Lao Li Tou, Qian Jin also said that his life is not long, at most it will last for a month, unless you find the Yu Hengxing that you have never heard of, otherwise you can only wait for death.

Since we often walked the mountain road, and the road was basically downhill, we were not particularly tired, but we just rested twice on the road and came to the town in one go.

To say that the town is obviously much more lively than the village, you can see everywhere are 28 bars, and the shops are open next to each other, which is very different from the environment in the village.

We saw that there was an empty table in the noodle restaurant on the side of the road, and there were a few benches next to it, so we quickly sat down, and the butt was like falling into a sponge when it got on the stool, and the whole person was relieved for a while.

Qiangzi saw that the next table was eating noodles, and immediately reached out to the boss to ask for four bowls of noodles like theirs.

"There are three of us, you order four bowls of noodles?" I was a little surprised.

"No matter how busy the donkey of the production team is, I have to eat rations, and I am so hungry that I can't eat two bowls." As he spoke, he took out two chopsticks from the wooden tube and put them in his mouth.

Noodles are the fastest hot food produced under starvation conditions, and it didn't take long for the boss to bring four bowls of noodles with his arms, and the noodles contained some lard residue and rice onions, and the aroma was excited, and the most important thing was that there were a lot of noodles.

Brother Wei Guo and I ate more Sven, and the strong son was like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, and he couldn't eat enough and kept the chili sauce in the bowl that didn't want money, but he choked and sneezed on my face.

"I said Qiangzi, are you a starving ghost to reincarnate, no one robs you." I was so angry that I almost greeted his eighth-generation ancestors.

When the boss heard such a loud sneeze, he thought the gas stove had exploded, but he was so happy to see this scene that he quickly brought a sweat towel for me to wipe.

After taking two more mouthfuls of noodles, Qiangzi said to me, "It's too hot, it's too hot!" ”

I patted Qiangzi on the shoulder and said absolutely: "Brother, we still have a long way to go in the future, and the current conditions are not difficult, and they will only get better and better in the future. ”

Brother Wei Guo also added oil and vinegar: "You may not believe it when you say it, in Sichuan, where there was a great famine eight or nine years ago, not to mention noodles, wild vegetables have nothing to eat, and in the end I was so hungry that I could only gnaw on the bark, and the bark of the whole mountain was gnawed to the bottom, and the bark was eaten to eat cotton, and the cotton was stuffed into the stomach and could not be digested, and I couldn't pull it out. ”

This frightened Qiangzi, he looked at the remaining half bowl of noodles and touched his stomach, then put down his chopsticks and said that he seemed to be full.

I noticed that there were a lot of people around the right front of the noodle stall, and there were loudspeakers shouting there, and I asked the boss to know that this week happened to be the town's material exchange conference, and they all came to catch the market, so the town seemed to be a lot more lively in the past few days.

We had planned to grab a bite to eat in the town and rest for an hour before continuing on our way, but the lively exchange had successfully attracted our attention, so we decided to go to the exchange meeting first and then go back, if there were any practical things to bring back to others.

As we walked forward with the flow of ants and silk strings, the cries of all kinds of vendors became louder and louder, including the acrobatic troupe with colorful flags standing tall in front of the stage, the peddlers selling cattle, sheep, mules and horses, the Tibetan doctors wearing strange costumes selling deer antler velvet and tiger bones, and the craftsmen who blew candy and kneaded noodles.

Qiangzi was not interested in this, he tiptoed and asked us from time to time if there were any dried melon seeds sold in front of us, so that we would not be idle on the way back.

I don't have any special pursuit of food and clothing, I just want to see if there are any strange things here to buy one and give it to Fang Qing, but I haven't seen it more than halfway through this exchange meeting, so my pace has quickened, and I thought that I would go back after a casual stroll.

But when I came to the corner of the street, a shoulder slammed into my shoulder, it stands to reason that this flow of people is from the street to the end of the street and then leave from the sparsely populated road, although there are many people, but it will not bump into a full arms, and this person is facing my shoulder, as if a little more deliberate.

"I'm talking about you, comrade......" I was about to reason with the man in a dark blue tunic, and a tunica hat, but before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth directly.

"Do you want a ticket? Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xinjiang, and Nanjing all have ......" His hat was pressed so low that he could barely see his eyes, and a string of mustaches hung on his lips, and he looked left and right when he spoke.

It turned out to be an "old scalper" who scalped tickets, no wonder he would crash straight into me, it turned out to be a deal.

The destination we were going to was the production brigade, not to mention the train, not even Ikalus, so we waved our hands and said no.

This person was probably rejected a lot, so after hearing this, he turned sideways and walked forward again, without stopping for a moment.

"What did this man say to you? It's the same as an underground joint. Probably didn't hear him, so he leaned in and asked.

"Are you going to the capital or not? If you go, he'll take you with him. I replied as I walked, but after two steps I stopped, because the man had just mentioned a place: Nanjing.

Qian Jin said that to save Lao Li, he needed to go to Chaotian Palace to find a person named Chen Laogou, and Chaotian Palace happened to be in Nanjing.

At this time, I had already stopped my tracks, and after thinking for a moment, I turned back and found the old scalper.

"Comrade, how much is the ticket for Nanjing?" I asked in his ear.

He looked at me, then stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of me and said, "1 piece." ”

Although the price is not low, normally the train ticket from us to Nanjing is only 4 jiao, but the current ticket is not something that can be bought if you want to buy, and during this time, the work points have also been changed to dozens of yuan, so directly out of a three-way gesture.

"Okka?" The man asked as I gestured.

"What O'Ooka, I want three."

Unexpectedly, he waved his hand again and again and said no, no, at most, he could only get two, and the other one would take three or five days.

I couldn't wait for three or five days, I was thinking of taking advantage of this gap to find out if there was Chen Laogou's No. 1 person, that is, to see if I could save Lao Li Tou with a fluke mentality, and other educated youths had already returned to their hometowns for such a long time.

"Okay, just two, give you money." I was about to pay for it, but he pressed my hand into my trouser pocket, saying that there was no one now, and that we would trade it later in the evening.

He pointed to an alley not far away, and said that he would wait for me there at seven o'clock in the evening, and it would not be too late to get the ticket and give the money.

After that, I told Qiangzi and Brother Weiguo about it, and also told the reason why I wanted to go to Nanjing, but now there are two tickets, and whoever is willing to go with me will go to see it together, and if they don't want to go, the two of them will go back to the village first.

I thought they would all rush to go with me, but the reality slapped me hard and both of them were silent, you look at me and I look at you, and there is no intention of going.

"Okay, Brother Wei Guo, you and Qiangzi will go back first, I estimate that I will come back in two or three days, and when the captain asks, he will say that I am sick and recuperating in the town hospital." When I saw them like this, I said with interest.

Brother Wei Guo spoke slowly, saying that it was okay, he and the captain were old acquaintances and could help cover up.

Before I said this, I had guessed that he was very likely to go back, because he was more honest and habitually acted according to the rules, this time he accompanied the two of us to the town first, although he didn't say anything, but he had some concerns in his heart, and he said that he wanted to go back on a blind date when he was in Huanglongtan, and it is estimated that at this time his mind was full of thoughts about the daughter-in-law who had not passed the door.

It's the strong son that surprised me, I have been calling me a brother for so long, and I went to Lao Li Tou to help after the Red Star collided with the guest, but now it is like a sculpture there, which makes me a little angry.

"Qiangzi, you also have a position, honestly follow Brother Wei Guo back to the village, I just went to see the world alone, by the way, look at the beautiful lesbians in Nanjing, we are still good brothers when we come back."

These words more or less poked at his heart, and as soon as he heard the beautiful lesbian, he immediately stood up and expressed her determination:

"Huazi, it's not right for you to say this, what kind of friendship do we have, I was thinking that there are only two tickets, in case Brother Wei Guo also wants to go, I have to let him go first. Since my eldest brother is not going, then I must accompany him to the end. ”

Seeing him look like this, I was amused again, so I simply followed his words and said that it was decided, Brother Wei Guo would go back first, and Qiangzi and I went to get tickets at seven o'clock and went straight to Nanjing.
