Chapter 302: Cumbersome Red Star Rain Comes(2/3)
"But it's not too late now. I hope your legs won't feel uncomfortable at night."
Then he took out a piece of candy from his bag and gave it to Zhou Xiaobai and said: "Recover your strength quickly, otherwise we will really have to spend the night in the wild. There may be a wolf at night. Be careful that it comes and eats you."
"
Zhou Xiaobai complained in her heart that he didn't help her carry her things, otherwise she would have been able to persist further.
Hurrying slowly, we finally arrived at the "Guantou Commune" at the foot of the mountain before dark.
Nowadays, there is no such thing as a tourist attraction, and there are also some relatively young trees on the mountain.
The big trees were cut down and burned when steel was being made. Without the protection of the big trees, there would be no large animals.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, today's villagers have no need and no one will go up the mountain to waste energy.
Xu Damao took out the letter of certification. The village chief saw that they were from the army and quickly helped arrange accommodation and dinner.
As long as you have a place to live, don't worry about good or bad things.
After finishing the meal, Xu Damao insisted on giving the money, and everyone pushed for a while before the village chief accepted the money.
He also took away their only pot of hot water. Xu Damao didn't care, but Zhou Xiaobai didn't.
Sure enough, the smell doesn't stop after taking off the shoes. Jiefang shoes are not differentiated between men and women. No matter who wears them for a day's walking, they won't feel much better.
Zhou Xiaobai's feet indeed had a lot of blisters. Who could bear the smell if she was asked to wash them out first?
Hearing Xu Damao say this about her, Zhou Xiaobai rolled his eyes in anger.
Xu Damao returned to his room and brought the silver needle and medicinal powder.
"How about you fix it yourself, or let me prick it?"
Zhou Xiaobai: "Can't it be done without breaking it?"
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't break. Then wait for me here tomorrow. I'll call you when I come back."
Zhou Xiaobai looked at the new pink blisters on the soles of his perfect feet and stretched out his feet with his eyes closed.
Xu Damao used a silver needle and thread to pop the blisters, then sprinkled the medicine on the blisters, ignoring her nervousness the whole time.
After feeling his feet leave the warm palm, Zhou Xiaobai opened his eyes.
But Xu Damao had already gone back to his room and took off his shoes.
"vomit"
After walking for a whole day, I still have the same kind of rubber shoes. They are not as good as anyone else's, and they smell like stinky feet.
After cleaning up, I bought some deodorizing powder from the system store and sprinkled a layer inside my shoes.
This will ensure that your shoes will quickly eliminate the odor and will not stink again tomorrow.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to send it to Zhou Xiaobai.
But when he knocked on the door, he obviously heard a very nervous voice inside.
"Who is it?"
"Here, open the door and I'll give you some deodorizing powder for your shoes, otherwise your shoes will still be so smelly tomorrow."
After waiting for a while, the door opened, and Zhou Xiaobai stood at the door with a red face.
Xu Damao: "I'll give you this and sprinkle it inside your shoes. Not only will the smell disappear, but it will also be less likely to smell tomorrow."
Zhou Xiaobai took it and was still thinking, this guy is still a bit humane and understands the embarrassment of people with smelly feet.
Xu Damao left after giving him the things. As he walked, he said, "Young girl, you will be embarrassed when you grow up like a radish?"
When Zhou Xiaobai heard this, the emotion she had been a little touched all of a sudden disappeared, and her teeth were itching with hatred.
She was woken up by Xu Damao early the next morning, and she looked like she hadn't slept enough.
But she saw that Xu Damao didn't intend to wait for her and kept packing her things.
Zhou Xiaobai immediately became energetic, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and put on leggings together.
Then the two of them said goodbye to the village chief and headed into the mountains without even eating.
The village chief also offered to help them find someone to lead the way, but Xu Damao declined.
When something was caught on his lower back, accidentally or unintentionally, the village chief saw his hand and snatched it away.
After leaving the village, Zhou Xiaobai asked: "Why don't we eat at their place?"
"Although it tastes a little bit worse, it's better than going to the mountains and having nothing to eat."
Xu Damao: "Where does all this nonsense come from? How can I still starve you? Walk faster and I'll have breakfast on the top today."
After being scolded for a few words, Zhou Xiaobai pouted and followed him.
Now that I had just woken up, I was full of energy, so the two of them went up the mountain very quickly.
On the way, Xu Damao saw some dead branches and picked them all up, but his speed was still very fast, far ahead of Zhou Xiaobai.
When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Xu Damao found a fairly flat place and stopped.
He built a stove around a stove with stones, lit the fire with dead branches picked up from the road, and finally took out lunch boxes for two people.
Separately add water to a box of lunch meat and put it on the fire to heat.
Zhou Xiaobai's eyes immediately lit up when she saw that there was still meat. To be honest, if she hadn't been too hungry last night, she would never have been able to eat that meal.
It seems that he also knew that he didn't like those things, so he didn't have breakfast in the village.
If Xu Damao knew what Zhou Xiaobai was thinking, he would definitely tell her that you are overthinking.
After a while, the water boiled. Xu Damao tore up the Huoshao he bought yesterday and put it in the lunch box. It was a simple meal.
Zhou Xiaobai felt very comfortable and happy after eating this meal, and then he patted his belly proudly.
But she reacted immediately. She looked at Xu Damao with a slightly red face and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he didn't pay attention.
After packing up their things and covering the fire with soil, the two people arrived at the top of Qipantuo Mountain.
In January 1942, a memorial tower was built at the top of Qipantuo where the five warriors jumped off the cliff. With the strong support of the border district government and the hard work of the construction workers, the three-story "Three Martyrs Memorial Tower" was basically completed at the end of September of that year.
The majestic "Three Martyrs Memorial Tower" inspired the revolutionary people's determination to resist the war, and at the same time attracted the hatred of the rulers of the country, who always wanted to destroy it. In September 1943, during another major sweep by Japanese imperialism, the "Three Martyrs Memorial Tower" was destroyed
"It was destroyed by the bombardment of enemy mountain artillery.
In order to inherit and carry forward the heroic achievements of the Five Warriors, the people of Yi County rebuilt the memorial tower in 1959 and named it the "Langya Mountain Five Warriors Memorial Tower". Unfortunately, it was destroyed again due to an earthquake in the late 1960s.
The majestic Taihang, the Xiaoxiao Yishui, and the majestic momentum. Two thousand years ago, Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom bid farewell to the warrior Jing Ke who went to assassinate the King of Qin here. Two thousand years later, five soldiers of our army came to this place where the remains of the warrior are engraved.
With his own blood and life, he wrote more glorious poems.
The heroic spirit of heaven and earth remains awe-inspiring for thousands of years, and the heroic spirit is endless and will last forever!
Then the two of them went down the mountain together, and hurriedly and slowly arrived at the county seat of Yixian County at dusk.
After resting in place for a night, we headed straight towards Baiyangdian. Along the way, cars and boats sometimes came here.
Baiyangdian is known as the "Pearl of North China", also known as "West Lake in the North" and "South of the North"
At the same time, it is also the largest freshwater lake on the central Hebei Plain and is rich in products, including rice, fish, shrimp, lotus root and reed mats.
Since the place is so big and there are a lot of fun and delicious things to do, the two of them stayed here for several days without even realizing it.
The best picking season for water chestnuts and lotus seeds has passed, but they still have a unique flavor when boiled or cooked into porridge.
However, lotus roots are being collected at this time, and the fish and shrimps are relatively plump now, so Xu Damao and the others are in a good mood.
There are various large, medium and small boats here, but they are too busy to handle them themselves, let alone rent them to them.
At this time, the letter given by Zhou Shou played a big role. After the village chief saw the letter, he and the villagers made adjustments.
Xu Damao and the others finally rented a row of bamboo rafts (the unit may be a row), and the two of them started having fun.
At first I followed others to pick lotus roots, then I went fishing and catching shrimps, and at night I watched others digging reed mats.
It can be regarded as a traditional specialty produced in Baiyangdian. Its reed mat is soft and white with beautiful patterns.
At this time, the people's livelihood in Baiyangdian depended first on fishery and secondly on reed production, so the reed weaving industry flourished.
Weaving mats and foiling is the main business of housewives, and in their hands the humble reeds come in many varieties and shapes.
The uses are different, including kang mats, storage mats, thatch mats, packaging mats, and ceiling mats.
Reed curtains mainly include door curtains, curtains, fence curtains and many other varieties.
Since there are no electric lights and they are reluctant to light oil lamps, people here do this by moonlight or on cloudy and rainy days.
Every day two people go out to play on a bamboo raft. On this day, Xu Damao, who was driving the bamboo raft, suddenly felt that it was very similar to a song.
I couldn't help but started singing.
Xiaoxiaozhupai in the middle reaches of the river,
Walking along the banks of towering green mountains
The eagle spreads its wings and flies,
Even if it's stormy.
