Chapter 44 His Story
Shen Yanbai was sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle. At first, he didn't know where to put his hands. It was extremely dangerous to dangle around, until he tentatively put his hands on Jiang Zhongyu's waist.
Jiang Zhongyu paused and said, "Hurry up."
Only then did Shen Yanbai boldly grab Jiang Zhongyu's waist clothes without even daring to use too much force.The temperature of the skin seemed to alternate with each other through a thick layer of clothing. For the first time, Shen Yanbai felt hot, and the tip of his nose was sweating.
All the way up the mountain, the roar of the motorcycle was too loud at first, but later Shen Yanbai's attention was attracted by the scenery, but he forgot it.
On the bumpy mountain road, there are thick clouds and blue sky. The scorching sun is half hidden behind the clouds, and the dazzling light leaks out from the gaps, illuminating the already withered and yellow leaves to be golden. From time to time, the breeze blows, and there are leaves It rustled down, and the leaves were buried in the mud, which became the nourishment for the towering leaves in the coming year.
This is probably the best day since Shen Yanbai entered the Northwest. The wind is light, the clouds are heavy, neither cold nor hot, and the air has the fragrance of earth.
"Here we are." Jiang Zhongyu stopped the motorcycle, "This is not the top, but the road cars on it won't be able to go up. I'm afraid we have to climb for a while."
Jiang Zhongyu was ready for Shen Yanbai to refuse, but he didn't want him to be different today, so he agreed very simply: "Success."
"It's not like you," Jiang Zhongyu said after a pause, "Don't you hate walking this way the most?"
This kind of road is really not easy to walk, Shen Yanbai can even imagine that the soles of these boots will be full of dirt later.
But it would be nice if I could touch the clouds.
There is nothing in this world that can be obtained without paying.
Shen Yanbai ignored Jiang Zhongyu, and walked in the front by himself.
After Jiang Zhongyu parked the car and looked up, Shen Yanbai had already walked a certain distance, and he even turned around and waved at himself: "Hurry up."
It was a little hot, Shen Yanbai's cheeks were flushed, his forehead and the tip of his nose were sweating, but he was smiling.
Because he was laughing, even the wind blowing past became gentle.
Jiang Zhongyu almost trotted over, grabbed Shen Yanbai's shoulders, and pressed him affectionately towards his body.
Shen Yanbai rubbed his face against Jiang Zhongyu's shoulder, and pushed him awkwardly: "Go on your own."
Instead of letting go, Jiang Zhongyu hugged him even tighter, saying, "I'm worried about your slippery path, this road is not easy."
Shen Yanbai rolled his eyes silently.
But he didn't resist such physical contact.
It took them about 10 minutes to reach the top of the mountain.
Looking into the distance, the cloud is really close, as if you can touch it with your hand.
Shen Yanbai stretched out his palms and stretched out, but he could only touch the fog, but for some reason, he still felt a kind of softness, and the air seemed to have the smell of cotton candy.
Overlooking the mountain, there is a large piece of golden land, and winding paths connect this remote corner and meet the world.
Looking further away, the place where animals gather is like a small dot, moving slowly.
You can even hear the chirping of birds.
Shen Yanbai sat down.
Jiang Zhongyu leaned against him: "When I was young, it was not like it is now - there were few roads and no railways at that time. It was countless railway people who connected Hoh Xil to the outside world, built the sky road to the roof of the world, and finally became Hoh Xil in the world. .”
Shen Yanbai fiddled with the grass beside him, staring at the vast land in the distance, who did not know how many years of vicissitudes it had carried.
"When I was young, it was more yellow sand and Gobi..." Jiang Zhongyu's thoughts seemed to be dialed back a long time ago, "At that time, I only saw my dad once in a few months, and I went to the top of the mountain with the children in the village to see , because the adults said that if you stand tall, you can see them."
"But the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is too far away from Suojia. In fact, you can't see anything at all." Jiang Zhongyu closed his eyes, lay down, and sighed, "Children are easy to be deceived, thinking that this world is pure , like a fairy tale."
Shen Yanbai turned his head to look at him.Jiang Zhongyu spread his palms to support his forehead, his long black eyelashes were illuminated by the sun, casting a shadow under his eyes, and his pale thin lips rarely had a trace of blood.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to kiss him.
But Shen Yanbai didn't dare, the only thing he could do was lie down together.
When Shen Yanbai's head was about to touch the ground, Jiang Zhongyu quickly pulled the denim jacket that he had taken off earlier and placed it under his head.
Shen Yanbai: "...you move pretty fast."
Jiang Zhongyu smiled: "It's not convenient to take a bath at home."
Shen Yanbai said in a muffled voice, "I'm not as clean as you imagine."
Jiang Zhongyu chuckled, making it clear that he didn't believe what he said.
For the first time, Jiang Zhongyu felt a little ashamed of himself-it is a good thing to take a shower and love to be clean, but why does Jiang Zhongyu feel that he is disgusted here?
And Jiang Zhongyu is not a sloppy old man, he also likes to be clean.
It's just that sometimes he doesn't talk and do things as "refined" as he is-well, it's exquisite if it sounds good, but it's demanding and creative if it's ugly.
Unlike Jiang Zhongyu, you can sleep directly on the grass when it gets rough.
Shen Yanbai couldn't bear it, thinking that there might be insects biting the grass, or even being crawled over by rats, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Yanbai stretched out her hand to lightly pinch his chin, and said like gnashing her teeth, "I don't have to take a bath every day. Do you think I've been washing every day during this time?"
"This is because conditions do not allow it." Jiang Zhongyu exposed his true face with a single word.
Shen Yanbai thought in shame, when the conditions allowed before, he really washed every day.If it is summer, maybe you have to wash it twice a day.
So I had to quickly change the subject: "Tell me about it."
"what?"
"About your father," Shen Yanbai said, "You are clearly a Han nationality, why do you live here?"
Jiang Zhongyu opened his eyes at this moment, looked at him, and then smiled and said, "So curious?"
"A little." Shen Yanbai said, "Just a little."
Jiang Zhongyu had a lot of meaning: "Only a little?"
"En." Shen Yanbai pinched his index fingertip with his thumb and said, "That's all."
"My father was a railway soldier," Jiang Zhongyu said. "My father entered Qinghai three times to build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. My father was the third batch to come in. At that time, road construction technology issues such as plateaus and permafrost were not yet fully mature. So building the railway was a very difficult task. At that time, there were many families like ours who never went out after coming to Hoh Xil.”
Jiang Zhongyu squinted his eyes half-closed, looking at the clouds in the sky, as if he saw a long time ago: "After the first phase of the project was completed, the second phase of the project has not started yet, so they have been staying, just waiting for an order from the state. Get on with your mission."
"You should also know that many railway soldiers died and were injured in the first phase of the project. My father also suffered serious sequelae at that time, so he passed away before the second phase of construction began. "
"In 06, the entire Qinghai-Tibet Railway was officially opened to traffic, and the Tianlu Road was officially paved into Tibet, and during the construction of the second phase, there were truly zero casualties," Jiang Zhongyu said, "Sometimes I also think, If my father was born a little later, it would be great to catch up with a better era. It's a pity that he will never see it again."
When Jiang Zhongyu said these words, he was very calm, and even told the whole process flatly, as if he was telling someone else's story.
But Shen Yanbai didn't know why, it was from his calm and straightforward words that he felt the deep pain that had been hidden and buried for a long time.
So there was no whimsy or whimsy, but only distress and care.
Shen Yanbai covered the back of his hand with his palm, and said solemnly: "He can see it."
Jiang Zhongyu froze for a moment.
Shen Yanbai said: "His soul lives forever in this piece of Hoh Xil where he once shed his blood, so he must be able to see it."
You can see that the wind brings more news from the outside world, you can see the steps that the road connects the land, you can see the prosperity and development of the economy on the lofty plateau, and you can also see that the long-cherished wishes of generations have finally come to fruition. Now this magnificent reality.
