It is clearly late spring, but there are only dots of green on the vast wasteland, which stubbornly declares that this is not a restricted area for life.
If the simple desert makes people feel despair, then the stubborn green in front of them makes people feel distressed...
"Zhou Yan, will your afforestation and agricultural poverty alleviation at Anxin Shopping Mall be extended here?"
Zhou Yan pressed the intercom button: "There is a poverty alleviation project near Mizhi..."
The further east you drive, the darker it becomes. Although the star-like reflective road signs on the highway give pedestrians some comfort, the ravines in the distance keep swallowing the courage of pedestrians.
Fortunately, during the May Day holiday, not many people were traveling.
In the dark night, everyone walked together. When they arrived at the highway exit, the pedestrians who walked with them all pressed their horns in unison, both to celebrate and to pray.
Bon Voyage.
When we arrived in Mizhi County, it was already the time when the lights were on. Although there was nightlife here, both the street lights and the neon lights on the streets were a bit dull.
Although he had to rush to his girlfriend, Feng Jun was still half a host after all. After settling in, he patiently found a hotel with a fairly good reputation and acted like a landlord.
In the evening near May Day in the northwest region, the cool breeze was blowing, refreshing and pleasant. However, as soon as the two dishes were served, fine beads of sweat appeared on classmate Feng Jun's forehead.
Qin Ruoshu, who was sitting next to Zhou Yan, touched Zhou Yan gently and pointed at the slightly anxious Feng Jun with his eyes.
"Brother, is it a little hot? Ask the boss to turn on the air conditioner!"
God damn it's a little hot.
Feng Jun is a mute who eats Coptis chinensis, so he can't express his pain, so he can only smile: "It doesn't matter, I must have been in a hurry just now..."
"oh……"
Zhou Yan slowly picked up his chopsticks and enjoyed his dinner slowly and methodically.
Of course, during the meal, Zhou Yan did not forget to trouble his cousin and sprinkled dog food from time to time...
"Honey, open your mouth..."
Qin Ruoshu rolled her eyes at Zhou Yan, seemingly complaining that he was causing trouble for Feng Jun, but seeing that her husband-to-be didn't seem to give up, she had no choice but to open her mouth and move closer.
"ah……"
After spreading dog food for half an hour, Zhou Yan "awoke from a dream" and looked at Feng Jun with an "apologetic" face: "Cousin, are you planning to visit your sister-in-law tonight?"
"Well..." Feng Jun nodded weakly.
"I'm really sorry, otherwise you could go first..."
Feng Jun declined again and again, but still settled the bill and left in advance.
After dinner, Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu went back to the hotel to sort out the photos of the day and send them to Moments.
Less than ten minutes after the photo was uploaded to Moments, Zhou Yan's computer began to "cough" violently, and friend requests in Waibo Moments began to flood.
Compared with this, Qin Ruoshu's side was much quieter.
Zhou Yan still didn't turn on the phone, but just said: [While traveling...]
Feng Jun did not return home all night.
The next day, before dawn, Qin Ruoshu's cell phone rang...
"Hey, cousin, what's the matter?"
"Hurry up and get Zhou Yan up and have breakfast!"
"That Zhou Yan has already gone out..."
Whenever he visits a new place, Zhou Yan likes to scout out the local delicacies or special snacks in advance.
However, there are actually many local specialty snacks in Mizhi, especially at breakfast time: millet porridge made from local specialty millet, chopped buckwheat noodles made with buckwheat and added with mutton sesame seeds, similar to pimple soup but the method is completely different.
Zip Jie'er, the "Big Internet Celebrity" bowl sitter...
Feng Jun seemed to know Zhou Yan's "problem", so when Zhou Yan rushed to the breakfast restaurant, the tables in front of Feng Jun and Xu Wenjing were already filled with delicacies that Zhou Yan had already explored.
"Brother, sister-in-law, thank you!"
"Hurry up and eat. I'll take you to your sister-in-law's house in the morning!"
Zhou Yan, who was eating with chopsticks, stopped and smiled strangely: "Brother, you are blatantly trying to fight against the autumn wind!"
"You're not short of money," Feng Jun said without a trace of embarrassment, "My wages in the past few months have been used to buy property. You can bear it first..."
"By the way, how far is my sister-in-law's home from the county seat?"
"The straight-line distance is more than twenty kilometers!" Feng Jun glanced at his girlfriend, and seeing Zhou Yan's relaxed expression, he added another blow, "It will take more than two hours to walk!"
"knew……"
After more than half an hour, Zhou Yan Zhou Yan finally saw that it would take more than two hours to walk a distance of 20 kilometers.
Zhou Yan, who has rich life experience in the dungeon, has traveled all over the world. It can be seen that the roads in northern Shaanxi that travel through thousands of ravines are still a bit scary.
Zhou Yan is considered an experienced driver, and he has also raced on the battlefield, but facing such a road, he is still frightened.
Fortunately, the two vehicles we brought this time were pure off-road vehicles with four-wheel drive. Although the seats may not be as comfortable as those of cars, there is nothing to say about their passability or off-road reliability.
This is not the first time that cousin Feng Jun has come here, but facing such road conditions, he is still a little numb. The speed is controlled very low, and he always drives on the inside of the mountain road for fear of accidentally falling into a deep ditch.
Every time they passed a dangerous section of road, the four of them would stop to rest and put their lost souls back into their bodies.
After more than an hour of stumbling, the two cars drove into a small valley.
"Husband, look, the cave dwelling!"
"Boss," Zhou Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "we are the family members of classmate Feng Jun, don't make a fuss...and we probably have to spend the night here tonight."
"Isn't that good?" Qin Ruoshu was a little confused.
Zhou Yan pulled the handbrake and looked across the valley at the cave dwellings on the opposite hillside. Most of the doors and windows were showing signs of aging, and there were very few new cave dwellings.
"Just don't dislike other people's old bedding at night!"
Before the two cars entered the valley, a large group of villagers, old and young, had already gathered at the entrance of the village, waiting to watch the fun.
Such an enthusiastic battle really made Qin Ruoshu a little flattered.
When the car approached, Xu Wenjing put down the car window, stuck her head out, and said hello to an acquaintance.
"Second uncle, my partner and their family members, come over to watch and interview!"
"Ernie! Your partner is doing well!"
Xu Wenjing smiled shyly: "Is my eldest sister here?"
"Just arrived!"
Although Feng Jun already knew the situation at Xu Wenjing's home, seeing that his girlfriend was uncertain, he still reached out and held his girlfriend's catkins.
After the two cars drove along the winding path on the hillside for more than ten minutes, they stopped in front of a small farmyard built with branches.
A Poussin with some ideas had parked in the small courtyard. When he heard the sound of the car engine, a little boy ran out of the cave dwelling.
"Second aunt is here!"
"Hey, Tongtong, do you miss your second aunt?" After Xu Wenjing got out of the car, she picked up the little boy and spun him around in the air.
Hearing the voices in the yard, everyone from the Xu family, old and young, came out of the cave dwelling.
"Yo! Xiao Feng is here!"
"Uncle, auntie!"
After saying hello, Feng Jun looked back and glanced at Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu, who had already gotten out of the car and were approaching with gifts.
"Uncle and aunt, let me introduce to you. This is my cousin and his girlfriend. They came here on a business trip. After knowing that you were nearby, I followed them here!"
