My historical mission 1

We were ready to set off early the next morning. Lao Hu said that Chifeng City in Inner Mongolia is 500 to 600 kilometers away. If we ride more slowly, we can get there in about two days. It will be difficult to walk further in, and we have to walk for three days no matter what. It's sunny. I checked the weather forecast and it won't rain in the past few days, but I'm ready with a raincoat.

We bought food at a deli before leaving the city and took it to eat on the road. We had three brand-new motorcycles in a row, which were very eye-catching. The fat man was so beautiful. When we got to a place with few people, he even shouted,"I He and Lao Hu also knew his character and ignored him.

The journey went smoothly. We arrived in Chifeng City at noon the next day. We entered the city and found a hotel to stay. However, the road after that was not very good. I didn’t know if I could find a hotel. Now I’m in the city. I could take a good rest here. After lunch, we went back to the house to sleep. Since I was used to sleeping, I opened a single room for myself. Lao Hu and Fatty always slept in the same room, so the two of them It's funny to say that they opened a twin-bed room. The backyard room was enough, so they had to sleep in the same room and use the free room as the living room.

After sleeping all afternoon, I felt relieved. In the evening I ordered a local Mongolian meal, mostly beef and mutton. Because we had to ride early the next day, we stopped drinking. After we were full, I went to Hu Bayi’s room and looked at the route map with them. We had plenty of time, so we decided to walk slowly. , if you have a place to stay, you must stop and rest. After the discussion, we each went to bed to regain our energy before going on the road.

The next morning, I filled up the car with gas and set off again. The scenery along the way was really good, and I couldn’t see anyone even for a long distance. At noon, I found a shade place to eat the delicacies I bought on the road, and then I lay down under the shade of a tree for a while and then set off again. Because the days are long in summer, I was able to ride until it got dark around 7pm. Then I found a village. It was a very small village with no hotels or anything like that. I went to the village chief and told him. After a while, he arranged for us to stay in a villager's house that had a vacant room, and gave us enough money for the room fee. The owner of the house was very enthusiastic and arranged dinner. I got up early the next day and had breakfast at his house before leaving. Although the mountain road was difficult to walk, it was still OK for a motorcycle, but you had to concentrate on riding to avoid falling into a ditch. It was only on the afternoon of the third day that we arrived at Ganggangyingzi Village, the village where Lao Hu and others went to the countryside. On the way, we also saw the Liberation Truck pulling people wearing uniforms. Because everyone was taking a rest just after lunch time, there were still many people enjoying the shade on the edge of the avenue.

We stopped the car, and Lao Hu and Fatty took off their helmets and started looking around. At this moment, a middle-aged woman who was sitting on the roadside looking after her children stood up and walked toward us. He looked at Lao Hu and Fatty carefully. Fatty, she might think these two look familiar. After watching for a while, she shouted in surprise, Brother Hu, Brother Fat, are you guys? Lao Hu and Fatty heard the sound and looked over. Lao Hu recognized it first. Isn't this a swallow? Yanzi, yes, I am Lao Hu. We are back to see the villagers. People who were watching from a distance all gathered around.

Lao Hu immediately took out the milk candies from the bag in the car and distributed them to the children who were gathered around. At this moment, Yan Zi's father also came out. When he saw Lao Hu and Fatty, he stepped forward and gave them a hug. You two boys left. After all these years, I just wanted to come back and have a look, so I walked quickly into the house. Lao Hu and Fatty had stayed at Yanzi's house when they went to the countryside. When they came back this time, they entered this hospital again. They were also very emotional.

Yanzi's father opened the door as far as possible and let us push the car into the yard. Then he pulled us into the house. He sat on the pit and held Lao Hu's hand, very happy. Lao Hu and Fatty looked around. Uncle, please renovate your house. It's much better than before.

Father Yanzi was very happy when he saw his previous children coming back to see them. He arranged for Aunt Yanzi to kill chickens and make more delicious food. When the children came back, they had to eat good food no matter what. When Lao Hu saw that many villagers were surrounding Da Yanzi's house, he took out all the gifts he had brought before and he and Fatty gave them to each family one by one. Those who didn't come were sent home, so that everyone in the village knew. Lao Hu and Fatty specially brought gifts to the old village chief's house. The current village chief is the old village chief's son. The old village chief started to get confused as he got older, but he still rarely recognized Lao Hu and Fatty. He arranged for Fatty Lao Hu just like he did with the educated youth many years ago. The village chief said that his father was remembering the past. of things...

When they returned to Yanzi's house, Aunt Yanzi had already prepared the food. Father Yanzi, the village chief, and the three of us gathered around to prepare for the meal. Lao Hu and Fatty introduced me to them, saying that I was the boss they met in Beijing and that I was here to play with them.

The dishes are all rural characteristics, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork stewed with vermicelli, mixed with side dishes from their own small garden. They are all served in big pots and taste great. What he drank was the millet wine brewed by himself in the countryside. Lao Hu also brought out the Moutai he brought from Beijing. Yan Zi’s father only had a taste, and then he still drank his own millet wine.

Everyone was chatting while eating. Old Hu talked about some things about his time as a soldier. Fatty started to brag again, saying that he made a fortune in Beijing. He was thinking about the villagers, so he came back to have a look. I didn't interrupt much. He only said a few words when he talked about me. Most of the time I listened and then ate. Seeing that the wine was almost finished, Lao Hu turned to the old things in the village. Lao Hu said that foreigners now like the things left by the Chinese ancestors, and some inconspicuous porcelain bottles are valuable, and then took Let’s take the drinking bowl as an example. If this bowl was left by our ancestors, it would be worth hundreds of dollars. Yanzi's father and the village chief were very moved after hearing this. Lao Hu asked Yanzi's father and uncle, when we went to the countryside, we saw many families in the village who used porcelain bottles and bowls picked up from the river. If we could If you get it in Beijing, every family in the village will get a lot of money.

Yanzi's father and the village chief didn't say anything after hearing this, and then sighed and said, if you had come a few months earlier, there would still be a lot of old things in the village, wouldn't it? There was an earthquake a while ago, and there was an earthquake in the mountains that was said to be from the Liao Kingdom. The Queen Mother's Tomb. An archaeological team came to the village, and they used grain tags to go door to door and collect all those things.

When Lao Hu and Fatty heard this, they were both dumbfounded. They thought to themselves that what the archaeological team had done was really amazing. They didn't even leave any soup for our third brother.

After that, no one was able to raise their spirits anymore, and they all lowered their heads and drank. After a while, Lao Hu seemed to have remembered something and asked Yan Zi's father,"Uncle, I remember if there were any rumors about the Eastern Army Fortress over there in Yerengou." Yanzi's father said, my second brother went there with others, but he never came back. He also looked for it, but he couldn't find it. He didn't see anyone alive or dead, nor a corpse. The old people in the past used to say that there were savages there, and those savages were cannibals. Why do you want to see them? I say, it’s better not to go. You see, your life is so good now, and you are all riding these big motorcycles. , don’t look for danger.

Just as Lao Hu was about to say something, I interrupted,"Uncle, we came here just to see everywhere. I grew up in Beijing and have never seen the forests in the Northeast. I just wanted to go and see it. Besides, I study traditional Chinese medicine and want to go into the woods to see if there are any good old medicinal materials. After hearing what I said, Father Yanzi said to me, there are a lot of good medicinal materials in our woods. If so, you can go and take a look. He pointed at Lao Hu and Fatty, these two guys used to Often go to the woods.
