Zhang Zhuxun transferred from Shenyang to Erdaobaihe, and then chartered a car with a young couple who were traveling to Changbai Mountain. The young couple got out of the car at a scenic spot halfway to take pictures.
The driver was a little curious. When he asked Zhang Shuxun, he only said that he was traveling and didn't say any other words. After chatting for a while, the driver felt that it was boring, so he said no more.
An hour and a half later we arrived at Yingshan Village in Changbai Mountain. round body
Zhang Zhuxun got out of the car and paid. The driver didn't waste any time and drove away as soon as the door was closed. Zhang Zhuxun, who was standing at the side and behind, was almost covered in snow, but luckily he hid quickly.
Looking at the car driving away, Zhang Zhuxun gritted his teeth and gave a middle finger to the butt of the car that was speeding away.
Because Zhang Zhuxun set off early, the journey was uneventful and he did not encounter any plainclothes or other public officials.
Zhang Zhuoxun tidied his clothes, walked into the village, and knocked on the door of the village committee.
Within a few seconds, a hoarse question with a strong local accent came from inside, "Who is it?"
Immediately afterwards, the door opened. The village party secretary, who was wrapped in a thick black cotton-padded jacket, looked Zhang Chuxun up and down and said, "Young man, are you looking for Sei? Come in and warm yourself up inside. It's very cold outside."
Zhang Zhuoxun smiled and handed over a box of Yuxi cigarettes and said: "I won't go in. I heard that there are veterans in your village who can lead people to the snowy mountains. I came here to travel and I just want to find someone to take me up the mountains. .”
The village party secretary grinned, took the cigarette and put it in his pocket. He turned around, closed the door, and led the way, "The young man is an open-minded person. Haha, I'll find someone for you. That young man is always working hard. Just two days ago. I brought a group of people back from the snow-capped mountains and have been resting in the house for the past two days."
Zhang Zhuxun followed the village party secretary to the door of a house. The village party secretary knocked on the door and shouted twice, "Shunzi! Get up, it's time to work."
No one answered inside.
The village party secretary knocked again, and some of the snow on the door beam was shaken off, and then human voices came from inside.
With a clang, the door was opened from the inside, and a hairy, thorny head poked out from the crack of the door. He asked sleepily, "What are you doing?"
"Hey, you bastard, why don't you get a good night's sleep in broad daylight." The village party secretary yelled, dragging Zhang Zhuxun to the side and said, "This young man asked you to take him into the mountains, so why don't you? You’ve been idle for a few days, are you almost getting calluses under your butt?”
Shunzi glanced at Zhang Zhuxun with squinted eyes, then opened the door a little further, "Come in."
Zhang Zhu thanked the village party secretary, stuffed two whole sheets into his hand, watched him walk away, and then followed Shunzi into the house.
As soon as he entered, a warm current mixed with an inexplicable strange smell hit his face. Zhang Zhuxun almost choked from the fumes. It was dark inside, with a table lamp on the table lighting up.
Zhang Zhuoxun turned his head and saw the switch on the wall, and clicked it.
When the light came on, it flickered for a moment before settling.
He took a step forward and kicked something by his feet. He looked down and saw that it was an ashtray made of half a glass beer bottle. Zhang Zhuxun knocked it over with his kick. The tobacco ash inside flowed out, and a few drops were still there. It splashed on Zhang Zhuxun's military boots.
Hey, Zhang Zhuoxun frowned in disgust. To be honest, if this guy wasn't a key figure in the original plot, he would have left long ago.
He raised his eyes and took a closer look. Well, he, the guest, was still standing, but the host had already gotten into bed and fell asleep, almost snoring.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a snoring sound like a train, a rumble, and a thud.
Zhang Shuxun curled his lips speechlessly, sat down on the only chair in the room, then took out a wad of money from his wallet, shook it with one hand and made a "squeaky" sound, and suddenly he snored. Disappeared.
Zhang Zhuoxun crossed his legs again and counted the bills one by one. The crisp rubbing sound made Shunzi, who was huddled in the quilt, feel extremely itchy.
Finally, I couldn't help but poke my head out and saw the bulging wallet on the coffee table. I lifted the quilt and jumped out of the bed. I rubbed my paws and laughed twice. "What's your name, boss? When do you plan to go up the mountain?" ?”
Zhang Zhuxun didn't say anything, he just shook the money in his hand, waved it in front of Shunzi's eyes, and then put it back in his wallet.
Shunzi froze in mid-air with one hand unable to stretch, smiled coquettishly, then realized something, turned around, picked up the white porcelain cup on the coffee table, poured a cup of hot water, and respectfully pushed it in front of Zhang Chuxun. , "It's freezing cold today, please drink some hot water to warm yourself up first."
Zhang Zhuxun's eyes caught a glimpse of the light brown tea stains at the bottom of the cup that had not been cleaned. The corners of his mouth twitched and he didn't even want to say anything for a moment.
Shunzi also dug out a bag of peanuts from the cardboard box under the coffee table, with red dates and melon seeds mixed in.
Zhang Zhuxun estimated that this was the best thing he could have on hand to entertain guests. He took one, peeled it off, rubbed off the skin, and threw it into his mouth. "I want you to take me up the mountain tomorrow. You should be able to walk the road from Lake Agassi to the border post, right?"
Shunzi was obviously taken aback and asked, "What did you do at the outpost?"
Zhang Zhuxun didn't answer his question. He took out all the complete cash in his wallet. He didn't count it. Anyway, it should be over ten thousand. He placed it right in front of Shunzi and said, "This is the deposit, the balance will be paid later."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and compared numbers.
"How about it? Do you want to do it or not?" Zhang Zhuxun looked at him with a faint smile.
Shunzi grabbed the money and counted it with a bang. His face turned into a chrysanthemum smile. He finally suppressed it. He looked at Zhang Zhuxun seriously and said, "Go ahead, boss, if you have any requirements, just tell me."
"readily."
Zhang Zhuoxun curled his lips, stood up and walked out, "Find me a place to live first."
He didn't want to stay in this doghouse-like room for half a minute.
Shunzi put on his coat and went out to inform the village party secretary first. Then he found a house with red tiles and bricks in the village for Zhang Zhu and paid Zhang Zhu to settle down temporarily.
I don’t know what Shunzi said to that family. The family entertained Zhang Shuxun with a very sumptuous meal in the evening, and their eyes looked at Zhang Shuxun with enthusiasm.
Zhang Zhuoxun attributed this to the fact that people here are generally more honest, warm and hospitable.
After resting for a night and having breakfast the next day, Zhang Zhuoxun bought a horse. He and Shunzi put their equipment on their backs and headed for the snow-capped mountains, plunging into the vast expanse of white.
Looking around, the white sky quickly engulfed the two figures.
The scenery of Changbai Mountain is very beautiful. Even if Zhang Zhuoxun had no intention of admiring it, he was shocked by the distant sky and majestic peaks all the way down, and some inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
The horse stood on the top of the mountain. Zhang Zhuxun, who was sitting on the horse, suddenly realized what the poem said, "It's cold at high places."
Suddenly, there was a kind of pride that only belonged to the sons and daughters of the world, riding alone and traveling to the end of the world with swords. Their thin figures blended into the vast world, like sand and gravel. Even if they were as small as dust, they still had the power to create the world.
It was not difficult to walk up the forest area. In less than four hours, the two of them arrived at the "Agaixi" lake.
Zhang Zhuxun had the experience of exploring snow-capped mountains before, so this time he basically traveled lightly, so he didn’t find it difficult.
The two replenished their energy by the lake and took a short rest before getting back on the road.
Before leaving, Zhang Zhuxun couldn't hold it back, so he took out his camera and took a photo of the beautiful "Agaixi" Lake. The entire Changbai Mountain was reflected in the calm lake water, and Zhang Zhuxun took it into the small lake. camera.
It's, well, magical.
Shunzi also asked him if he wanted to take a photo with Hu. Zhang Zhuoxun smiled and shook his head.
﹉﹉﹉
Along the way, Zhang Zhuxun took the map he found from Shunzi and marked some key places in detail to make it easier for him to come back next time.
After passing a dangerous sloping hillside, Shunzi looked at the mountain in front, smiled and said loudly, "There is a deserted village not far ahead, and the outpost the boss is looking for is there."
Zhang Zhuoxun also looked at it. To be honest, at a glance, there was nothing but snow. He didn't know how Shunzi recognized it.
He didn't say much, and just marked it on the map according to the speed and distance traveled.
Continuing to walk upward, as far as the eye can reach, some dilapidated wooden houses suddenly appeared in the white snow. The rusty and black iron doors were painted with white paint as the background, and the words "The territory of the motherland is sacred and inviolable" "Ten big red characters.
Shunzi saw that Zhang Zhuxun's eyes were fixed on those words, so he explained: "This is the former supply station of the snow mountain. Later, several outposts were moved to different places, so this place became deserted. Several outposts on the snow line The station is empty now. If the boss wants to go, I will take you to see it tomorrow."
Zhang Zhuxun nodded.
The night on the snow-capped mountains also looks blue.
Shunzi said he would make do at the outpost tonight and then go down the mountain at dawn tomorrow.
Zhang Zhuxun had no objection.
The iron lock on the door had been broken long ago. The two entered the house, shook off the snow on their bodies, and laid out their sleeping bags.
Shunzi found some dry firewood from somewhere and made a fire, then took out the compressed biscuits and toasted them a little before starting to nibble on them.
Zhang Zhuoxun took out two large boxes of self-heating hot pot and two round cans from his backpack and threw one to Shunzi for his sake.
Then, with Shunzi's stunned gaze, he magically took out an iron shelf and a small iron basin from his backpack, heated the hot water, poured the canned food and self-heating hotpot vegetables into the small iron basin, and put them on Hot pot ingredients, a simple pot of Malatang is born in just a moment.
The fragrance fills the whole room, and just smelling it makes you feel warm all over.
Shunzi swallowed hard, and the biscuits in her hand suddenly lost their flavor.
"Old...boss, can I borrow your basin?" Shunzi stuttered, holding back the red spots on his face.
"sure."
Zhang Zhuxun poured Malatang into the empty box of the self-heating hot pot, and generously lent the empty small iron basin to Shunzi.
Shunzi took it and thanked him. He imitated Zhang Zhuxun and finished it. He rubbed his hands expectantly and stood by the fire.
