Chapter 62: If you don't reach the Great Wall, you're not a hero

Yan Jiecheng rested at home for two days, and got up early in the morning on the third day.

Today, I made an appointment with Lao Xie and them to climb the Great Wall.

If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and they must not miss the Great Wall when they come to the capital on a business trip.

The Great Wall of Sijiu City is famous for Yanqing Badaling, Changping Juyongguan, Huairou Mutianyu and Miyun Simatai Great Wall.

As the head of the Great Wall, Badaling is the essence of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, its terrain is dangerous, the construction is majestic, and it is the military strategic place of Gongwei Lingjing since ancient times.

Yan Jiecheng and the others naturally chose Badaling.

At eight o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the meeting point at the foot of the mountain.

From a distance, the Badaling area is a lofty mountain, deep ravines and dangerous ravines, quite a husband and a man can not open the feeling.

Lao Xie and the others are wearing relatively new clothes today, and they are very clean.

But by this time, the trouser legs were already covered with dust.

After all, Qianmen Avenue is still a dirt road today.

Not to mention other places.

"It's a good one-man to be a pass, don't open it. It's really a strange horse, winding and magnificent. ”

Lao Xie looked at the winding Great Wall and couldn't help but sigh excitedly.

In Yan Jiecheng's view, the Badaling Great Wall is still very desolate, and there are very few tourists today.

It can't be compared with the future generations at all.

He looked at this dilapidated scene and suddenly thought of a joke in the afterlife.

Do you want to tile the Great Wall.

In addition to Yan Jiecheng and them, there were also some scattered people.

These people, there are all kinds of things.

There are people like Yan Jiecheng, wearing shorts and undershirts.

There are also those who wear trousers and shirts like Lao Xie and them.

There were also some older ones, wearing robes.

Yan Xie Cheng saw that everyone was carrying a kettle, so he didn't remind him of anything.

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile: "Don't look at it, what are you waiting for, climb." ”

Brother Liu smiled: "If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero." A few of us have no problem, but I'm afraid that Lao Xie will be strained in the back. ”

Yan Xie Cheng said with a smile: "Lao Xie's family has a sister-in-law, and it is normal for diarrhea. Brother Liu, don't you want to be even more up. ”

"That can't be."

A few people talked and laughed and climbed up.

When I was halfway up, I met a pair of foreign men and women, and the blonde ones looked like European and American seeds.

The man is in his fifties, and the woman is in her twenties, and the clothes are very cool, and the granary is half exposed, which is not something that ordinary people can grasp at a glance.

Trekking poles, backpacks, and sneakers look very professional and rich at first glance.

In these days, foreigners are still relatively rare, but after all, this is the capital, and it is not unusual.

For a hundred years, foreign affairs have always been a top priority, and everyone is very curious when they meet foreigners.

But he only paused a little and looked at it a few more times.

Didn't dare to come forward to say hello, when passing by.

Yan Jiecheng originally thought it was a father and daughter, until he heard the foreign man and woman chatting.

Man: "Do you know how long the Great Wall is?"

The woman smiled, looked at him and said, "I know, just like I know how long you are." ”

Yan Jiecheng was silent in his heart.

If you don't blow it, you can die, why can't you go to heaven like this, what's the use of looking long, you're fifty or sixty years old, I don't know if you can use it.

Yan Jiecheng didn't have much to do, just touched the wall battlements, and sighed in his heart: Sometimes the tall and sturdy stones and the city bricks that have endured hundreds of years of wind and rain can't compare to the faces of some people.

After climbing for two hours, sure enough, Lao Xie couldn't do it, first of all, he couldn't hold on, and a few people sat on the steps to drink water and rest.

Lao Xie drank a few sips of water, looked at the city wall, looked at the lookouts and shooting ports on the battlements, and sighed: "Only when you see this city wall with your own eyes will you understand how resolute our determination to resist foreign enemies is." ”

Brother Liu said with a smile: "Lao Xie has to worry about the country and the people when he comes out to play, and he has the style of Mr. Xiwen."

If you want me to say, there are countless stones here, one of which weighs two or three thousand catties, and it is carried up this steep mountain step by step by countless shoulders and countless successful hands.

It is much more difficult than us to build railways, and it is these craftsmen who should be admired the most.

In the past, these people were all lowly people, and they didn't even have a name.

It's still good now, the salary is high, the people are respected, and the work is energetic. ”

Brother Zhang also came from Jinmen, and a colleague from Lao Xie explained with his colleagues: "Liu Gong, what you said is also ha."

But our Xie Gong, I don't know, he is different from us from these schools.

He was born as the commander of the Siye Engineer Company, and I heard that he had a small life, so when he saw the Great Wall, he naturally thought of Jin Ge Iron Horse, which was different from what we thought.

Isn't it thanks? ”

"Hey, I'm really telling you, I just saw this Great Wall, and I remembered the days when I used to build trenches."

Yan Jiecheng was not surprised, it had only been a few years since he had been fighting Xiao Ri, and he had wrestled with Xiao Ri everywhere.

After the break, several people continued.

Finally, at noon, we climbed to the top.

A few people are as tired as Erha, but fortunately there is a tea stall on the top, which is run by an old man.

A bowl of herbal tea costs five cents, which is not cheap, but fortunately, the salaries of several of them are not low, so Yan Jiecheng is the lowest, but he can accept it.

A bowl of herbal tea went down to my stomach, and I suddenly felt cool.

Yan Jiecheng had a mind and looked at the old man's tea stall.

It's very simple, a simple table with four folding stools, two vats for tea and a pair of flat stools, that's all.

I found out through conversation.

Every morning, the old man got up early and carried everything to the mountain with a flat pole. Wait until the afternoon is sold out and go down the mountain.

Yan Xie Cheng saw the old man in his 60s. Then he asked, "Isn't this tiring?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "What are you tired of?" Isn't it just climbing a mountain, I climb every day, and I've been climbing for almost 30 years.

Besides, the tea on this mountain sells well. I make a net income of three dollars a day, isn't it better than you go to work? ”

Yan Jiecheng: Hehe, you are connotating me.

"Hahaha, Xiao Yan has been hit."

Lao Xie smiled when he saw this scene.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you. You have more than 50 yuan a month, which is much better than most people. ”

Yan Jiecheng rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "You people don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, you all get a salary of more than 100 yuan, and laugh at me as a small worker with 50 yuan." ”

Brother Liu hurriedly said on the side: "Who dares to laugh at our Yan leader, see if I don't beat him, is it Team Leader Yan." ”

Yan Jiecheng: Destroy, I'm tired, I don't want to love anymore.

Lao Xie patted Yan Xie Cheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid should be content, after all, you are still young, I was still carrying the old sleeve when I was seventeen years old." ”

Listen, is this a comforting word? It's clearly showing off.

Besides, what's wrong with the old sleeve, even he, Li Yunlong, has to carry it from the old sleeve.

Several people drank two bowls of herbal tea and ate some food that they had brought with them. Ascending high and looking into the distance, they each expressed the pride in their chests.

That's when I was ready to go back.

As the old saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain, but hard to get down.

After some hardships, several people finally ended the day's journey, and finally walked on their legs.

Before leaving, I made an appointment to go to the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth tomorrow. Anyway, Yan Jiecheng had never been there in his previous life or in this life, so he should have gone down.
