Walking in the sand ditch and writing prose stories

Shagou, a small natural cooperative in Shaba Village, Liulin Town, Huixian County, Gansu Province, is located in the southwest of Liulin. It is also ten miles from Luobazhuang to Shagou. Chao Luo, director of the Quality Inspection Center, is from Shagou, Sichuan. Because the local wanted to celebrate the third anniversary of the late adult, he invited Chao Luo. Chao Luo is hosting today, so he asked me to accompany him to Shagou after he signed in this afternoon.

After half past two, we set off. Chao Luo told me to go from the mountain behind Barrow No.2 Factory, and turn down the mountain to the sand ditch. He has been there several times, so he knows the way around. The two of us walked and talked. Although the road up the mountain is tortuous and the road surface is wide, although it is not hardened, it can be seen that people come and go very frequently and the road is very flat by the wheels. In the roadside fields, Huang Chengcheng's rice stalks are scattered, two or three farmers are moving rice, and three girls are parked by the roadside. It takes about half an hour to walk to a village called Wenjiashan. Located halfway up the mountain, the terrain here is relatively flat, and people are not dense, scattered on the roadside. At the foot of our factory, the sound of the machine turning day and night has long been out of sight, and the cars running on the ditch bottom road are out of sight. Looking around, you can only see people in the mountains, then there are ups and downs, countless dark blue hills, and gray clouds in the distance. I can't help thinking of Du Fu's poem "Colorful Clouds lave? My mind is free and easy, and birds fly back and forth in front of my nervous eyes. " . Once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see that all the other mountains look short under the sky. "I can't help but think of what magnificent poems Du Fu would write if he looked at the mountains and countless peaks at his feet!

Go straight up, walk out of the village and see a family's yard. There are three houses with civil structures in the southeast of this house, which are very shabby and look like they have been for a long time. There is no courtyard wall and the front is wide. I saw a red Li Xia, which looked familiar. This reminds me that it may be the military scientist Li Xue who worked with me in No.5 Factory and engaged in machine maintenance. He gave a few enthusiastic shouts and came out as expected. Greet us to come in and sit down for a while. However, because Luo Chao is going to Shagou as a host, time is very tight. I really wanted to go in and sit for a while, but I didn't go in because of the tight time. But I think, when I come back early, I must sit at Xue Lijun's house for a while and catch up with him. I asked him the way, and he said, if you go up from here, you'll get to Shagou, don't turn right, or you'll get to Luogou. We walked from the path in front of his house.

The path gradually became a path for cattle and sheep, without any trace of anyone walking. Maybe it rained a few days ago, and there are many footprints of cattle and sheep in the mud. Obviously, people seldom see footprints. We walked towards the mountain ahead. How can I tell through these clouds? Just ahead, Shimada Hanzo is half exposed in the clouds. There are large bushes everywhere. We walked along the path of cattle and sheep. In this endless green, we could see clusters of small red fruits, golden chrysanthemums and white cotton. Chao Luo walked for a long time, and then he told me that he was wrong. He went the wrong way. He should cross the mountain. He pointed to the mountain peak in the east. However, there is a long way to go, and there is no broader road ahead. In front of me, there are traces of cattle walking. Is there any way to go in the direction he pointed? I looked at the winding trees not far ahead and thought they were traces of the road. I said, as long as the general direction is right, don't look back. You can see the outline of the tree is obvious. It must be the road. Which direction should we go? Soon it was covered with dense bushes, and there were no traces of cattle and sheep. I can't walk any further, so I have to go back and follow the path of cattle and sheep to the mountain ridge. I tried to find a way on the ridge, but I was disappointed. The eyes are full of listed peaks, trees and shrubs, drowning us in the forest. Neither of us can see the road ahead. After a few steps, there is no road. Go back and move forward. Chao Luo said that there was a thatched cottage in front, and there might be a road, but it was submerged by bushes after a few steps. Finally, walking down the southwest ridge, you can see endless peaks and winding canyons, and you can't see other people's villages. Because the sky is overcast and the peaks are covered with gray clouds, I think of the place where the Tang Priest walked into the clouds and monsters in The Journey to the West. Later I learned that this place is called Luojiagou. The sand ditch is at the bottom of the ditch in the southeast, but we went to the southwest. At this time, in the dense forest, I saw a path, so I walked with Chao Luo, and the cobwebs among the trees kept on my neck and face, which was very uncomfortable. Spider webs tell me that people seldom leave here. Turned a mountain pass. The grass was covered with traces of cattle treading, so we had to follow the traces of cattle and sheep to the bottom of the ditch. I have been seeing traces of wild boar turning the grass upside down for food. It suddenly occurred to me that I was in Chengxian eight years ago, and a Ni Gong told me to take a stick on the mountain road, so I asked me what I was doing with a stick. What is a big man afraid of walking in broad daylight? He said that the ravines in Longnan are deep and the forests are dense, so he always gets lost. If he walks with a stick and bumps into the front, the snake under his feet will hide far away. Otherwise, you will be bitten by a snake if you accidentally step on it. Because people don't hurt insects, and insects don't bite. This kind of experience, because it is rarely used, is generally forgotten. Now, walking in the lonely pine forest makes people feel uneasy. Although people have killed some wild animals in recent years, such as wild bears, wild boars and muntjac are almost extinct, the remaining half may not appear when we are unlucky. At this point, I think what Ni Gong said is really a proverb on the road, which makes sense. Luo Chao may be a little timid, so he asked me what to do if I met a wild boar. I told him it would be scary, as long as it didn't hit a bear. Here, we not only feel the vast, profound and terrible beauty of Qinba Mountain area, but also deeply feel its occlusion and backwardness. Going down to the bottom of the ditch, Lao Luo finally determined the position of the sand ditch. He pointed to several people at the foot of the mountain in the distance and told me that it was a sand ditch. We just walked a long way, so we went down. Walking in the dense forest, I turned another mountain bend. I finally saw a family. We were walking in the street when someone happened to come out. As soon as we asked the man, he enthusiastically replied that he would follow the road to the sand ditch. At this time, I also went to the village road, and the road surface was widened. It seems to be newly built, and the road is covered with blue-white gravel from the mine. I asked the man what this place was, and he said it was Liangshan.

Ten minutes later, we finally arrived and saw several families on the sunny slope of Bangou, namely Shagou, the hometown of Chao Luo.

The old man said, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and wear a straw hat."

Chao Luo said that they didn't pay much attention to the third anniversary of the old man's death in Sichuan. Huixian, on the other hand, pays great attention to the third anniversary. On this day, a banquet will be held to entertain relatives and friends. His hometown has settled here, but his accent has not changed, but his custom has changed. He acts according to the custom completely. People here have no courtyard walls, and people can be seen coming and going all over the yard. When we entered the main room, I saw several memorial tablets written in yellow paper on the uphill table. There are many people in the room. When the owner of this house saw Chao Luo and me, he ordered tea. They're going to the cemetery. I think I'll invite someone first. Hardly had we reached the fireplace behind the house and sat down when someone called for dinner. We started at half past two in the afternoon and arrived at the house at five o'clock. Chao Luo was hungry, so we helped ourselves. His hometown is tomorrow, and today his family will hold a banquet to entertain the people who help in the village. Shagou people are very rich now, because this area is close to the mine and depends on local resources to get rich. In recent years, many people have gone out to work, and people here have begun to migrate to towns and counties. The roads on Zhuangzi have been widened, and the roads are open to traffic quickly and conveniently. There is no shortcut (sidewalk) to Barrow on the opposite mountain, and there are fewer and fewer young people in the village. In their words, "those who have the ability to work far away have bought buildings in the county, and it's over!" We are old, weak, sick and idle. "I talk to them while eating. Just smiled and asked, "Did you get rich by mining?" A woman next to her casually said, "What is money? "? Mining blasting will collapse the house, nobody cares! "

Think about it! There are many mines here. Call the company, the actual private boss contracts the operation, the cost is very tight, the welfare of those who work for themselves is not engaged, and it is unlikely to give back to benefit the place! We talked over dinner. Soon, the master came back from the grave. When giving us a toast, we warmly suggested that Chao Luo stay at his house tonight. After eating, we saw some yew on the hill behind his house. Chao Luo originally wanted to dig some yew with his villagers. None of them is his favorite. I saw that the tomatoes in the main house were red, so I grabbed one and ate it. When I got to the yard, I noticed the geographical location here. Here, I personally feel that it is surrounded by mountains, and it is really a feeling to come straight to the point and list the peaks. The mountains are very close, and the peaks are steep, high and big, pressing tightly in front of the village, which makes people feel depressed. Chao Luo saw that it was getting late, so we went back. While eating, I asked several women around me. They told me that the street had been flooded with mugwort for two years because no one walked. Summarize the difficulties of the route and dare not blindly take shortcuts. It's a pity to think that I can't sit at Xue Lijun's house for a while.

The detour is through Liangshan and Shaba and down to a factory and mine platform. We went to a factory talking and laughing, and Chao Luo went to the laboratory to check the class. I know he will check it, because the laboratory in No.1 factory is far away, and generally Chao Luo doesn't check it. Tonight, they will never dream of his inspection. I only know that Zhou Peipei Fei Taohong is in the laboratory of a factory. I spent more than seven years with these two people in No.5 Factory. Last year, the fifth factory stopped, so I went to the second factory. The two of them went to the laboratory of the first factory, and Zhou Peipei became a chemist. Fei Taohong was promoted to director. I think Fei Taohong must have gone home early. Maybe Zhou Peipei won't go to work tonight. I accompanied Chao Luo around the sample preparation room, sample preparation room and weighing room, and only the people taking samples were there. On the way back, I thought Fei Taohong would call me tomorrow and regretted that I didn't call her and told her secretly. I never take part in their work. Besides, I also think that Chao Luo should be inspected.

When we arrived at Tianba, the night was already very tight. The car of the boss of the group company passed by us, and it suddenly occurred to me that the company had rehearsed a literary program for a month today and was going to perform in the mine tonight. Maybe the company leader also went to see it and came back. I told Chao Luo that when the bosses got off the bus, they should pull you up. Luo Chao said with a strong Sichuan accent, "I didn't see it. If I see it, I will stop. " . I know Chao Luo is telling the truth. Generally, bosses don't take workers in their cars casually. On such a dark night, Chao Luo and I were walking on the road, and the bosses didn't even think that Chao Luo would be on the road. What about me? The bosses don't know each other. Even if they pass me in broad daylight, their car won't stop to pick me up. The mountains on both sides are dark, high, dangerous and ferocious, and the lights in those mines are on. This section of the road is familiar, and we will arrive at the factory soon after ten minutes.
