() At eight o'clock in the morning, two Santanas parked under the Lu family building.
There was no need to go to work on weekends, so workers who got up early passed by. They looked at Santana curiously and said hello to the three members of the Lu family outside the car.
"Good morning, Old Road!"
Jiang Jingdong was in high spirits and leaned out of the passenger window. Then he asked with some confusion: "Where are Shufen and Xiao Yang going?"
Lu Jiangan looked at Zhang Shufen and Lu Yang who had changed into casual clothes, wearing double-star shoes, a straw hat on their head, and carrying a liberation bag. In desperation, he had no choice but to step forward and ask shamelessly.
"Um... Secretary Jiang, mother and son said they are moving the factory. If they come back rarely in the future, they also want to climb the Golden Elephant Mountain with them, okay?"
"What's wrong with this?" Jiang Jingdong waved and joked: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome, we have prepared a lot of food, and we are in need of coolies!"
Lu Jiangan was relieved. Last night he had notified two old buddies from the militia team, both from the foundry and forging shop. One was Uncle Wang, the squad leader of the repair squad, and the other was Uncle Chen, the squad leader of the heat treatment squad.
After some communication, Zhang Shufen, Lu Yanghe and Jiang Jinghua sat together in Jiang Jinghua's car. Zhang Shufen went to the front seat, while Lu Yang, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yang squeezed into the back seat.
Jiang Yang, who was sitting in the middle, was wearing a Nike sports T-shirt, trousers and sneakers. When he saw Lu Yang coming in, he was very excited and asked questions.
Lu Yang answered nonchalantly while staring at the girl opposite who pretended not to care with a smile. He didn't look back until her ears turned red.
After going around the family area, they picked up Uncle Wang and Uncle Chen, and the two cars drove towards the factory area.
The Red Shipyard is a state-owned arsenal. It was once under military management. In the 1960s, the entire factory was organized at the regiment level. At that time, the factory director was called the regiment leader, the workshop director was called the battalion commander, the company commander, and the section leader was called the platoon leader. There were thousands of people in the factory.
The employees are organized into more than a dozen companies, and they not only have hundreds of rifles, but also high-definition machine guns and mortars. It can basically be said to be a quasi-regular armed force.
As the militia establishment gradually shrank in the 1970s and 1980s, there is currently only an empty militia company in the Red Shipyard. The large number of guns and ammunition that were once equipped have been collected and stored in the armory of the factory.
However, the Red Shipyard is a state-owned enterprise in the military industry after all. It has military training requirements every year. In fact, it has a lot of accumulated ammunition. It is not difficult for the factory leaders to use some.
When we arrived at the armory, the management section chief, who had received the news earlier, had already prepared weapons and ammunition, including three Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and half boxes of ammunition.
Jiang Jingdong quickly handed out the guns, one for him, one for Lu Jiangan, and the older Uncle Wang. The bullets were put together with him for safety, and they were distributed up the mountain.
Jiang Yang's eyes lit up when he saw the majestic rifle, and he kept insisting on getting one fixed. No matter how he tried to persuade him, it didn't work, so Jiang Jingdong had to talk to the manager of the management section and got him a Type 56 rifle.
A semi-automatic pistol that looks great when worn with a leather holster, but of course it has no bullets.
Lu Yang quietly touched his liberation bag. What a coincidence. He had previously obtained three May 1 pistol bullets from his second brother under the pretext of collecting them. At that time, Wei Zhiwen considered that he didn't have a gun either.
Nothing should happen, he is just lying in the bag at this time.
After being prepared, a group of ten people set off towards the foot of the Golden Image Mountain.
The two cars quickly drove out of the factory area and onto the dirt road. Soon they could see a small coal mine. Not far away was a village. It was not big. There were only a dozen families scattered along the dirt road, two of which had two houses.
Grocery store, this is Banpo Village.
Lu Yang looked at the village, thinking about his plan for Lu Weiyang. By the time he came back, the place would be completely different.
Along the way, Jiang Yang was very excited with the gun, but he seemed a little afraid of Jiang Yuan and did not dare to go over there. He only dared to harass Lu Yang.
Guns are a stimulant for men, so Lu Yang was naturally very interested, so he took it and played with it skillfully. Jiang Yang screamed and hurriedly gathered his attention to ask for advice.
Zhang Shufen was in the front seat of the co-pilot, and introduced Jiang Jinghua to the route warmly. Occasionally, she was worried that Jiang Yuan, who was being ignored behind, would talk to her.
At this time, Jiang Yuan would put down her reserve and answer twice in a gentle voice, attracting Lu Yang's smiling gaze.
There are fewer and fewer farmers along the way, and the dirt roads are becoming more and more rugged and narrow. Sometimes you are even walking on a dry river bed. It is not yet the rainy season in Jinxiang Mountain, and the river bed here will be filled by then.
At around nine o'clock, the two Santana cars finally arrived at the foot of Jinxiang Mountain and parked outside a wooden house. This was a lumberyard set up to obtain Jinxiang Mountain wood during the establishment of the factory. Although the logging was no longer done, management was hired from the local area.
The officers were always stationed at the wooden house and received wages from the Red Shipyard.
The caretaker in the wooden house came out when he heard the commotion and saw that the person who came had a face full of surprise and trotted over.
"Lao Lu, why are you here?"
"Old Director, long time no see!" Lu Jiangan smiled with a smile on his face. He hugged the old man's shoulders and hammered his chest hard, and then introduced to Jiang Jingdong behind him: "Secretary Jiang, this old director is from the lumber yard of the factory.
As the administrator, there will definitely be no problem putting the car here!"
"Hello Secretary Jiang," Lao Dong shook hands with Jiang Jingdong and asked, "Lao Lu, are you going up the mountain?"
"Yes," Lu Jiangan nodded and said, "Secretary Jiang wants to go for a walk. Is there anything dangerous?"
"What's the danger?" Lao Dong curled his lips and said, "Wei Laoer goes there once a month."
While they were chatting, others got out of the car and started taking out equipment and food from the trunk.
Jiang Jingdong said he had prepared a lot, and it was true. Not only did he have several boxes of food, but he also had several professional hiking bags, all with English labels.
Lu Yang looked at his hiking bags that he had only seen in the 21st century, and immediately sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, we are not from the same world as me...
Jiang Jinghua was in a good mood and acted as the administrator herself, distributing supplies to everyone.
"Xu Wei," Jiang Jinghua took the biggest one and asked to the crew cut in black: "How is your injury? Is it okay to carry the biggest one?"
"It's okay." Xu Wei took it.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yang both had small hiking bags and were weak in physical strength. Lu Yang and Zhang Shufen only had two satchels, and they only distributed some snacks and water that they could eat on the way.
Uncle Wang and Uncle Chen went to the wooden house and found two backpacks and two hatchets. They carried the most. Fortunately, there were two more people, and the supplies allocated to each person were much less than planned.
Lu Yang and Zhang Shufen only had satchels and few things, so they packed them quickly.
The hiking bag looked professional, but it was a lot of trouble to carry. Lu Yang saw that Jiang Yang was not moving, as if he was waiting for Jiang Jinghua to finish it before helping him, so he walked over and helped him adjust it on his back.
"Wow," Jiang Yang said with emotion, "Brother Lu Yang, you are so awesome! You move much faster than my mother."
"Lu Yang is a smart kid. This thing is quite complicated. I don't even understand it."
It seemed that Jiang Jinghua was playing this for the first time. He was in a hurry and hadn't finished it yet, so Lu Yang went up to help.
After these two were done, Lu Yang saw that Jiang Yuan had already put on the mountaineering bag, but was still adjusting the backpack system.
"I'll help you."
Lu Yang stepped forward and started to adjust without waiting for her answer.
Jiang Yuan glanced at Lu Yang and said nothing, but the two of them were so close that her breathing seemed to be quickening.
After everything was done, Jiang Jingdong took out three walkie-talkies from his car and sent one to each of Lu Jiangan and Jiang Jinghua.
After everyone was done, the group was ready to set off under the ten o'clock sun.
"dad!"
Lu Yang walked to Lu Jiangan and asked, "Are we going to the top of the mountain?"
The highest peak of Jinxiang Mountain is over 2,000 meters above sea level. It was already late at night when we set out there, so the strength of the team varied greatly.
"What Secretary Jiang means," Lu Jiangan replied: "You can climb as high as you can before dark."
"Xiao Yang, what's wrong?" Jiang Jingdong heard this and turned around and asked, "I heard that there are only some pheasants and the like, and the prey is boring."
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to spend the night up there," Lu Yang smiled and explained, "I should have known better to bring more clothes."
"Yes! It's quite cold on the top of the mountain. Us men are fine, but they women can't stand it." Lu Jiangan suddenly realized.
"this……"
Jiang Jingdong was also worried. It was too late to go back and get clothes at this time.
"How about we go to Yunzhai first," Lu Yang suggested: "When we get there and are energetic, we can go higher up."
Most of the residents on Jinxiang Mountain are ethnic minorities. The Yunzhai that Lu Yang mentioned is a Miao village below Fengyun Ridge at the top of Jinxiang Mountain. It has only a few households. Lu Jiangan has been there many times before, plus the Wei family
The relationship is good.
After hearing Lu Jiangan's explanation, Jiang Jingdong nodded in agreement, and the group began to climb the Golden Elephant Mountain.
Jiang Yang was obviously very excited, jumping up and down and running at the front. One moment he saw the big butterfly unique to Jinxiang Mountain, and he was startled to chase it. The next moment he saw a clear spring and ran to wash his face. He originally wanted to drink, but was followed by
Jiang Jinghua arrived and shouted sternly to stop.
Lu Yang and his mother were walking together, with Jiang Yuan in front of them. Looking at those graceful figures, he felt particularly happy and his steps were light.
An hour later, on a gentle slope, Jiang Jingdong, who was walking at the front, said he should rest for ten minutes.
Lu Yang looked at Jiang Yang who was slumped there and couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Jiang Yang, don't walk too fast, there's still a long way to go."
"Brother Lu Yang, it's okay!" Jiang Yang raised his head and said with a very concerned face, "My strength is good!"
"You kid also taught Jiang Yang a lesson. You didn't run very well last time. What happened?" Zhang Shufen stood up for the injustice and exposed Lu Yang's old background.
"What happened?" Jiang Jinghua asked with interest.
"It turns out that someone was halfway up the mountain, and his physical strength couldn't bear it anymore," Zhang Shufen said with a smile, "I finally reached Yunzhai and couldn't go up again!"
"Mom, this is called wisdom gained from every experience. Don't you think I know how to conserve energy now?"
Lu Yang said in a sweet tone, and quietly followed Jiang Yuan's gaze with his eyes. He saw that although she was looking at the mountains and forest, there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. The touching sight made him feel soft in his heart.
After resting, the group started on the road again.
There is a temple halfway up Jinxiang Mountain. This section of the road is built with stone slabs by devout believers, making it relatively easy to walk.
