Chapter 682
If you don't go to the Great Northwest, you don't know what it means to be wild and rough.

If you don't go beyond the Great Wall, you won't understand the vastness of the world and the vastness of the heavenly dynasty.

When Luo Xuan went out this time, he went to the commune in the name of going to Xijing, the capital of Shaanxi Province, to inspect the cosmetics filling equipment, and issued a "Travel Certificate".

Then Luo Xuan took the shuttle bus to Suimi County.

With his "Identity Certificate" and "Travel Certificate", he registered a room at the "State-run Suimi County Passenger Station Guest House".

After a while,

Luo Xuan excused that the train was about to leave, and went to return the room.

In this period, there is no such thing as an hourly room.

And like the people in this kind of state-run guest house, they don't care what reason you have or what reason you use to check out.

Anyway, as long as you open a room, you have to pay for the whole day.

The most important thing is to return the deposit to the passengers in full.

After checking out the room, Luo Xuan came to the cargo yard of the Suimi County Railway Station, and found the driver of the coal truck pulled by those gangsters.

Then quietly got on one of the coal carts.

After two days and two nights of ups and downs, Luo Xuan finally arrived at Wusheng Banner in the north, a place called Xuejiawan.

The vastness of the Northwest is beyond most people's perception.

Xuejiawan is already 400 miles north of the Great Wall.

This place belongs to the real Beyond the Great Wall.

Here, you can appreciate what it means to be frozen for thousands of miles and snow for thousands of miles.

Standing on the wasteland and looking around, it is really the sky covering the four fields, the sky is blue, and the fields are vast.

The snowflakes blown by the north wind are flying all over the sky, making it difficult to distinguish the south, east, north, and west, let alone the slightest trace of human habitation or signs of life.

As far as the eye can see, there is only the never-ending cold wind howling on the plateau.

In addition, the surrounding fields were very quiet, within a radius of a hundred miles, there was not even a trace of green.

Not even a few dead grasses can be seen.

Where did the cattle and sheep come from? !

Luo Xuan bid farewell to the kind driver who sent him here, and then carried his heavy luggage.

Along the wasteland, the two vague axle marks staggered towards the direction indicated by the driver.

Not long after, Luo Xuan could only hear the roar of a motor coming from behind him.

"Woo, woo--"

Before Luo Xuan had gone 10 miles, a dilapidated "GAZ" passenger car slowly caught up.

"Hey, fellow, what do you do?"

The window of the car was opened a crack, and a man with a puffy face in a cotton hat that covered his ears stuck his head out of the window, "Old man, where are you going?"

Luo turned around and yelled vigorously, "I followed the villagers, and I came out to go to the coal mine to go to the 'Dayezhai'! On the way, I got out of the car and peed, and then separated from the villagers."

The wind was shrill, and the conversation between the two was intermittent in the cold wind inside: "Listen to your accent, fellow, are you from Bashu?"

The man yelled to stop the bus, then leaned out of the window and asked, "How many of you are here?"

Luo Xuan also yelled back at him, "I'm from QXN! This time, there are more than 20 fellow villagers who came out with me."

The man asked, "So they are from the neighboring province of Bashu. No wonder the accent is similar to ours. Where are your fellow villagers?"

Luo Xuan shook his head: "I don't know! Ever since I got separated from them, I've been walking and walking north, but I can't find them no matter what."

"Or, why don't you just follow us to dig coal!"

The man opened the car door, and then brought two people to Luo Xuan's side, "Anyway, I only want to make money when I travel thousands of miles.

Whichever coal mine you go to do wild fasting, you will also get the wages to go back to support your family.How are you?Come with us. "

The man spoke in a tone of asking for Luo Xuan's opinion.

In fact, when Luo Xuan was talking to the man in front of him, his two companions had already quietly stood behind Luo Xuan.
"Well, it seems like this is the only way to go now. Otherwise, what else can I do?"

Luo Xuan asked the man: "Brother, what is the salary of the coal mine you are going to? Is it far away?"

The man grinned: "You guys are from the inland, so you don't know how big the Northwest is. Since it's a coal mine, how can it not be far away? But don't worry, the coal mine we're going to pays enough wages!"

While talking, the man stretched out his hand and pulled Luo Xuan onto the car: "In the mine we went to, people provide food and shelter. Every meal is full of fat meat that is as thick as two fingers and the size of a palm! "

In the process of pulling Luoxuan, the man used strange strength: he pulled forward twice for a while, and pushed back for a while.

——He was testing, wanting to see how strong Luo Xuan was!

If you meet a person who can't eat anything and can't do anything.

This guy, the custody will kick Luo Xuan out of the car without hesitation!
As for whether the other party will be frozen to death or starved to death in this icy world, the man doesn't care.

Fortunately, when Luo Xuan arrived in the coal truck to cover the border, he had already left the bedding in advance and left it in the dirty truck compartment.

When getting off the car,
Luo Xuan didn't forget to grab soot from the carriage and put it on his face, and smeared several layers of black ash on his neck.

Now I have a lot of soot on my body.

Then the water vapor melted by the wind and snow all the way, then reconcile
Now Luo Xuan's body is all black and sticky, as if he just fished it out of the mine.

Wait until you get in the car,
It was only then that Luo Xuan realized that the car was already full of people.Because these farmers who came out of Bashu and Nanyun provinces for "Daye Zhai" carried a lot of luggage.

So it can only be squeezed into a small passenger car with about 20 people, which seems extremely crowded.

Fortunately, people don't pay much attention when they go out, so Luo Xuan set up camp in a small area in the corridor, which was kindly moved by others.

The people in the car seemed to have lost much interest in chatting at this time.

The scenery outside the window is barren, which is completely different from the hometown where they grew up.

It is said that in this desolate and empty desert, if you travel by car for a long time, many people will gradually have hallucinations and even lose self-control.

As a result, their will completely collapsed and they went crazy.

The man who is the leader obviously understands these things.

He stood up, clapped his hands and yelled at everyone, "Fellows, don't sit still! Come on, let's talk about how much money you plan to make when you go back next year?"

These people who can not hesitate to abandon their wives and children, leave behind their elderly parents, and travel thousands of miles.

Which of them didn't take a huge risk to come out to "play wild fast" because the family was poor and didn't eat the next meal?
Now hearing what the man said, someone in the carriage responded, "I want to save 200 yuan to go home!"

The man smiled and said, "Then can you tell me what you plan to do when you save this money to go back?"

The man counted with his fingers: "My family has owed the production team a total of 73 yuan and 6 cents over the years. When I go back with the money, we have to settle the collective debt first."

"With the rest of the money, I plan to buy 10 pairs of chickens and two kid goats, one male and one female."

The man's face was full of longing for a better life: "I still have to take my father to the big hospital in the county for a good physical examination.

I want to put on a good-looking dress for my mother-in-law. Since she married me, she is not afraid of the jokes of the big guys. I haven't even bought a vest for her! "

Others also said, "My family's suffering is probably heavier than that of Yang San and you!

I have to save at least 300 yuan to treat my parents' illnesses and pay off the famine in the production team. "

For a while, everyone in the carriage was talking about their own plans and dreaming about their dreams.

The dilapidated GAZ was leaking everywhere, and it wasn't much warmer in the car.

But the group of hard-working people in the carriage discussed very enthusiastically and dreamed very warmly.

The man clapped his hands: "Small! Your hopes are too small!! Let me tell you, the coal mine we are going to has a very good profit!

The wages he gives us are so high that they can scare you to death! "

"As long as we do a good job for others, let's save you 4 yuan after one more year, it will be an easy thing."

The man smacked his lips and laughed, "This is all the money you saved after eating and drinking in other people's mines, taking out and occasionally going to 'release water'!"

Listen to what the man said.

The carriage suddenly boiled up: "Wow, isn't it? Can you save so much money?"

"Save 4 to 5 yuan a year? Those public officials on the street, both of them have latte jobs, and they can't save that much."

"Brother Yang, you won't lie to us that we haven't seen the world and talk nonsense!"

Hear this,

The man was displeased, "Which one is talking nonsense? Er Huo! You have to know, what kind of job are we doing? We are going down the well to dig coal!"

"You also know how ugly it must be to do this business in our hometown? It is said that you did it because you died in your previous life and were not buried."

The man patted his chest and promised, "Don't compare the small coal mines in your hometown with the big coal mines here!
The coal seam here is thick, if you say it, it will scare you to death!
How much is a shovel, and how much is a shovel. Do you still worry that you can’t save a few hundred dollars in a year? "

Hearing what the man said, there were some people in the carriage who had better brains and started counting with their fingers on the spot: "The workers who go down the well belong to high-risk industries.

Calculated according to the wage standards of workers in 9 types of areas and 23 levels of special industries, it is 53 yuan and 5 yuan a month. Hey, Yang San and Zhu Dawa.

Speaking of which, if we save a little, we can really save about 500 yuan in one year! "

The man laughed loudly: "That's right! It's better that you have a good head, Jian Teng! You'll be able to settle the account after a while, and you'll be shrewd."

As he said that, the man stretched out his hand and poked Luo Xuan on the shoulder, "Hey, brother, you are so lucky! You got separated from the fellow villagers on the way, and you still met us.

Why don't you come and tell the big guys, how much money do you plan to save to go back? "

Luo Xuan scratched his head: "I want to earn the entire coal mine."

The man was stunned: "I think you are a cauliflower snake, wanting to swallow a buffalo; ants want to breed a pangolin, right?"

Luo Xuan chuckled: "I married the daughter of the person in charge of the coal mine. Doesn't that mean that the coal mine is mine?"

"Hahaha--"

In the carriage, bursts of laughter suddenly sounded: "Hahaha, this little brother is quite interesting."

"That's right, our fellow countryman, how dare you think about it"

The man also laughed, "What are you talking about? The coal mine we're going to work in is a decent public unit anyway! It's not the person in charge of the coal mine, it's his own.

Even if you marry his daughter, the coal mine will not fall into your hands! "

That coal mine is a public unit?

What a liar!
It is clear that some lawbreakers have bribed and corrupted some people.

Then, in a deserted and uninhabited place, I opened a kiln without permission, and started that kind of "non-white" coal kiln business!

If it's really a state-run coal mine, they won't have to worry about not being able to recruit miners, okay?
On the contrary, only this kind of shady coal mine will be cheated and cheated, and will use all means to lure people to dig coal for it!
But this matter, I can't say now: it's not just the bearded man and his accomplices who won't let me go.

What's more important is the group of people in the car, they will not believe what they say, the truth.

People have a kind of fluke mentality: the gang in the carriage are hard-working people, and they have traveled thousands of miles to come here to work.

Along the way, they didn't know how much travel expenses they had borrowed and how much board and lodging expenses they had posted.

If I jumped out at this time and said, it is a private kiln, I can't go there
These people in the carriage, they have invested so much money and energy into it.

How could it be possible that they would change their minds just because of a single word from themselves, and thus go back home willingly?
After waiting for them to go back, what kind of face should they use to face their relatives?
Could it be that they explained to their family members: on the road, they heard a guy say that it’s fine if they can’t go to that coal mine? !

Impossible to think about.

therefore,

Anyway, they have to be fooled and deceived before they wake up, so they might as well say something lighthearted and cheerful.

at least,

This is also a good way for everyone to pass the inner torment and loneliness of the journey.
The small passenger car was driving on the deserted plateau, just like a small black ant crawling hard on the silvery white sandy beach.

On the plateau in the northwest.

It seems that the mountains are not as steep and steep as the mountains in the southwest.

But in fact, if you pay attention to it a little bit, you will know: there is nothing unusual on the surface of this plateau.

But in fact, the land here occupies an extremely large area, but because of the lack of reference objects, it gives people an illusion of "nothing more than that".

If people really want to go down for a walk, these seemingly inconspicuous plateaus, not to mention the ruthless snowstorm and low temperature, can kill people at any time.

Just talking about the vast area it occupies, it takes at least one day and one night for a person to walk out of a plateau!
The bus squeaked and babbled like an asthma patient, breathing white or black thick air.

In the middle of the night, we drove forward for several hours.

This finally arrived at the destination: Doujiapan Coal Mine.

And the reason why this broken car was driving in the middle of the night at the risk of car crash and death.

The first reason is that it is very dangerous for a passenger car to spend the night in the wild.

If there is an engine failure, the people in the car will definitely turn into popsicles the next day.

Another more important reason is probably out of the need for confidentiality.

It can be seen that this Doujiapan coal mine
I'm afraid it's really dark enough!
