Chapter 280 The missing treasure, getting to know Song Yan
Uncle Kong rarely smoked a cigarette with Zhu Xuefeng again. It is very simple to provide Zhu Xuefeng with these conveniences. Zhu Xuefeng has passed the review and is now considered a peripheral personnel. It was necessary to apply for a certificate. Uncle Kong also weighed it again and again and made sure that Zhu Xuefeng would not cause any trouble before providing this convenience.
"Don't worry, I promise not to cause you any trouble."
Zhu Xuefeng didn't have any other ideas. Xiangjiang must remain stable. This is the only window to the outside world in decades. The great people have made decisions long ago, and it is impossible for them to sabotage it. Besides, I am just an ordinary student participating in academic exchanges.
“Does the godmother have any needs? She wants me to help bring them back.”
“Don’t speculate about what needs she may have. Originally, my family has some foreign exchange. It’s all paid to the public, and I can’t help you, so don’t worry about it. It’s just a few dozen Hong Kong dollars in subsidies. It’s good to keep it for yourself to buy a few books.”
A few days ago, I was going to Xiangjiang. Well, go to your godmother's house and tell her, and Uncle Kong will know. The school provides a subsidy of five Hong Kong dollars per day, and provides thirty-five Hong Kong dollars, which is squeezed out by the school.
The current exchange ratio in China is 47.2:100, which is close to one to two. These subsidies are equivalent to about 17 yuan.
This subsidy is quite large. The current per capita income in Xiangjiang is only 100 to 300 Hong Kong dollars. Calculated at 300, it is only ten Hong Kong dollars per day. The school can subsidize five, which is very impressive. After all, food and accommodation are all provided. Responsibility of the organizer.
There was a deafening roar from the machinery behind him, and it didn’t take long for the cave entrance to be completely opened.
"Report, the cave entrance has been opened."
"Let a group lead in, survey the scene, count weapons, ammunition and other items, let Professor Deng and others go in to confirm the items, and report at any time."
Not long after, the team members reported again.
"Professor Deng said that the preliminary judgment is that they were looted from several ancient temples in the west. We have to go back and continue to study the details."
Uncle Kong nodded. There are many ancient temples in the west that are over a thousand years old. Most of them have royal backgrounds, and some are from imperial temples of two dynasties. There are always many rewards, accumulated over thousands of years, and of course there are many antiquities.
When I was plundering the Central Plains in my childhood, I raided temples whenever I saw them. Those ancient temples in the west definitely couldn't be escaped, but I didn't expect that there would be missing ones that I didn't have time to take away. It was a fluke.
"Inventory, load the vehicle, and take it back for further study. Other weapons and ammunition will be counted and transported to the foot of the mountain. They will be temporarily sealed until further orders."
"There are several boxes of silver coins. It is estimated to be no less than 10,000 pieces."
"Take it away with the cultural relics."
Although ten thousand pieces are not many, they are not too few. Fly legs are also meat. Uncle Kong finally smiled. In his eyes, Although cultural relics are important, they are of no use in national construction now, but silver coins can help the country.
A team of people were left behind to guard the weapons and ammunition in the abandoned barracks. Unexpectedly, there were so many weapons and ammunition in a cave. They could not be mixed with cultural relics, so they had to leave them behind. They took the cultural relics and silver coins and returned overnight.
"Xue Feng, this time you have made a meritorious service inexplicably. Tell me what reward you want."
Because of the harvest of silver coins, Uncle Kong was obviously a little happy. Sit in the passenger seat.
"These all belong to the state. I have no need or reward. Uncle Kong, tell me, there are only so many that were not transported away in my childhood, how many have been stolen by them."
Uncle Kong also fell silent all of a sudden. After many years of war, he knew very well how various places had been ravaged by small times. Not to mention national treasures, treasures and cultural relics, even countless folk medicines had been robbed.
Zhu Xuefeng also clearly remembers that throughout his childhood, there were countless museums, and the most displayed domestic cultural relics in each museum were stolen domestic cultural relics, from the distant Xia to the recent Qing Dynasty, endless.
Later generations have said that if you want to study the ancient Chinese civilization, it is most convenient to study in Xiaozhi. It is complete and systematic, including all aspects of Chinese civilization.
It seems that there are some things that must be tried.
…
"Xiao Zhu, you have to pay attention to safety in the front carriage alone. Professor Zhou and I will go there first. Remember to wait for us on the platform when we arrive at the station. Let's Let’s go out together.”
"Okay, director, don't worry. It's okay. I will take care of myself."
Now that we have boarded the train, two professors from the Radio Department have also arrived. The professors can enjoy sleepers. Zhu Xuefeng is only a student, and only I could buy a ticket, so I had to separate now. Director Jiang kept urging him, and he tried his best, but unfortunately, this student was not qualified to enter the sleeper berth.
Director Jiang was too embarrassed to abandon Professor Zhou and the others in exchange for tickets. He couldn't bear it for three days and three nights.
I have to sit and stay for three days and three nights. I don’t know how Fang Jiaming persists every time he comes to school. It’s too long. The people sitting next to him must also travel far away. The equipment was complete. He came up, took out the cup, sat down, and looked at the bag closely.
“You are on a business trip, right? There are so many people on this train.”
“Yes, long-distance buses also have standing tickets, and I don’t know where they stop before getting off. , if we stop all the way to Guangdong Province in one go,...
"I don't think so. There are so many stops along the way, and the tickets are probably for short distances. Who can stand for long distances and wait for tomorrow's train?" Is it more suitable? ”
“That’s what you said…. ”
Everyone chatted for a few words in a casual manner. It was regarded as acquaintance and greeting. If anything happened later, they would take care of each other. It was a kind of convention.
The train has moved, and no one is talking in the partition. Everyone is about the same, and they all start to sleep with their small bags in their arms. Zhu Xuefeng also follows suit and starts to close his eyes to rest, and before he knows it, he really falls asleep.
The train passed through darkness and said goodbye to daylight again. It stopped at an unknown number of stations, and the number of passengers around it also changed several times.
I passed another small station in a daze, and a group of people changed as usual.
"Comrade, please get up, I am sitting in this seat."
As soon as a passenger got off the opposite side, another one seized this rare opportunity to lie down and stretch out his tiredness. He didn't expect someone to come right away, so he could only murmur and get up.
Zhu Xuefeng was taking the opportunity to take out a steamed bun to solve his stomach problem. After finally solving it, he found that several people nearby were faintly swallowing their saliva. The steamed bun was deliberately left to cool down before being put away. I'm afraid that everyone will be confused after seeing the hot buns.
Maybe it’s because Uncle Zhang’s craftsmanship is so good that the extremely cold buns also attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Only the young man opposite who just got on the bus remained unmoved. He was dressed in military uniform and his eyes seemed to refuse. People are thousands of miles away.
The young man is very energetic. Although he is darker and thinner than ordinary people, his eyes are firm and he keeps looking out the window. Occasionally he is disturbed by the movement in the carriage, and then he has complicated emotions, and his face is also Like a knife.
It took him a long time to look away from the window, but his brows were still furrowed and his eyes occasionally showed complicated emotions.
“Comrade, please change your job and go home.”
The young man opposite raised his head and looked at Zhu Xuefeng, who was dressed as a student, so he put down his guard and nodded. . There are strict requirements for military personnel to change jobs. A complete set of procedures usually involves applying from the beginning of the year. After going through the process step by step, you usually have to wait until December of the end of the year or January of the following year before you can leave the army. Now it is the end of March, which is obviously abnormal. , Zhu Xuefeng couldn't help but become interested and took the initiative to chat.
The other party was not enthusiastic at first, and they seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but when the two gradually talked about life in the military camp and troop training, it was completely different.
Because of their shared experiences and common topics, the two of them started chatting together. Especially the story about Zhu Xuefeng reselling the southwest story he heard from Li Zhenhua made the other person feel that he had found someone to talk to. .
Every time I talk about military camp life, although the other party hides a lot, I can still clearly feel his fascination and yearning for military life. The current military service system is three years, but it is not mandatory to retire, as long as you You can stay as long as you want, unless you make a mistake.
As expected, the young man looked pained.
"Have you brought a cigarette? Let's go smoke a cigarette. There are too many people here, so it's not appropriate to smoke."
The two of them smoked, and the young man told himself with some pain. experience.
"I was actually demobilized early because I violated the regulations, not a job change."
Zhu Xuefeng was even more curious. This young man did not seem to be a naughty or troublemaker. Very calm, how could this happen?
It turned out that the opponent was named Song Yan, the former leader of a reconnaissance platoon in the southwest. During the big operation at the beginning of the year, he raided a certain village and successfully captured several enemies. But when he saw the enemy's bestiality at the scene Later, my mind got hot and I accidentally sent away the prisoner involved during the interrogation process. He was demobilized a few days ago.
Song Yan's expression was very painful, his eyes flashed a little, and he gritted his teeth.
"As long as I can remember, my family has only been me and my sister. My sister was..."
Song Yan choked up for a moment. "As soon as I saw this kind of scene, my brain got hot and I made a mistake. But if I do it again, I will do it again. I have no regrets."
In the end, I still straightened my body and looked at Determined, but with a somewhat sad expression. Zhu Xuefeng gently pressed Song Yan's shoulder and whispered comfort.
"I can understand that I might not be able to bear it when I encounter such a beast. Unfortunately, discipline is discipline..."
It took a while before Song Yan regained his composure.
"It's okay, it's over. We have to look back. I've been kicked out of the team. Don't you dislike me?"
"Brother Song, what do you mean? That is to say, in the army, this is considered a violation of discipline. In the past, it was considered as killing harm for the people. But in the future, you still have to learn to act according to the rules. If you have to report his crime, he probably won't be able to escape, right? Brother Song !”
Song Yan nodded, Zhu Xuefeng handed over another one, and they lit cigarettes.
"Brother, you are right. I was indeed impulsive at the time, and even my squad leader couldn't stop me. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have done it. I harmed others and myself."
"Brother Song, what are your plans for the future?"
Demobilization and job transfer are different. They also depend on the household registration. There is no work arrangement for agricultural household registration. Demobilization in cities and towns also has to wait in line to see luck. This will be cleared. But there was nothing.
"There is only my uncle's family in the village. It would be embarrassing for me to go back like this. Since the letter of introduction has not expired, I want to go to my comrades to see if I can find something to do."
During this period. Soldiers are respected wherever they go, and similarly, those who are sent away by the army will be despised. This Brother Song can't stay in his hometown anymore and wants to go out on his own.
"Let's see, Brother Song, if you can't find a way out, you can come to the capital and give it a try. I can't say for a formal job, but you should be able to find a job."
A real man, Zhu Xuefeng didn't mind helping. Besides, he also needed such a person. Zhu Xuefeng took out a pen and paper, wrote down his contact information and address, and handed it over.
Song Yan seemed to have his own ideas and did not show much enthusiasm for the capital.
"Let's talk about it. I'll go and see my comrades first. We can't even get a ration now. Let's talk about it later in the capital..."
But Song Yan still took the paper solemnly. Article, read it carefully several times, and then destroy it directly.
“It’s rare for a little brother to be sincere. I’ve made a note of it. If I have any difficulties, I will definitely come to you...”
…
Arrived in Yangcheng, Zhu Xuefeng stood on the platform, Song Yan turned around from a distance, waved his hand again, and disappeared into the sea of people.
"Xiao Zhu, let's go. Let's go out of the station together. There should be a car outside to pick us up."
Director Jiang and two other professors also got off the car and walked over with their luggage. .
There is no need to worry about the rest. It is all a collective arrangement. First, we gathered people from all over the country and held a simple meeting to emphasize the discipline of foreign affairs.
"After you arrive in Xiangjiang, you must obey Director Ding's arrangements. If anything happens, you must report to Director Ding in time. Director Ding has overall leadership responsibility for your team."
Director Ding is thin, with his hair combed back, neatly and meticulously, with some white hair in between. He is quite old, and his eyes are always scanning around people.
“Here are our country’s senior talents. I won’t say too much, nor will I restrict everyone’s movement and freedom. I just hope everyone will keep one thing in mind. We are here to conduct academic exchanges and better serve the country. "I don't want anything bad to happen. Since you can pass the review, I believe in everyone's consciousness. I hope everyone can cooperate with my work in the next few days and achieve success." Complete this mission.”
Everyone applauded enthusiastically and continued for a long time. After resting for one night in Yangcheng, we sent a car to the conference hotel. The journey was not short, about 200 kilometers. The desolation outside means that every inch of land in these places will be at a premium in the future.
I passed the Luohu Port smoothly and arrived at the checkpoint. The short-sleeved Xiangjiang policemen simply looked at the documents issued by the country and counted the number of people before letting me go.
The Xiangjiang police let all holders of domestic passes go without checking. This also led to a large number of cadres in some areas of Guangdong Province never to return. This is a digression.
Even if he sets foot on Xiangjiang, Zhu Xuefeng is also very curious about Xiangjiang during this period. He knows that this is an important period for the rise of Xiangjiang. The rapid influx of a large number of people has provided a large amount of cheap and affordable resources for the development of Xiangjiang. The dedicated labor force has promoted the rapid development of Xiangjiang.
As soon as I entered Yuen Long District, I encountered an extremely crowded crowd. Trucks loaded with these ragged people slowly moved towards the pass in the crowd. The Hong Kong River was everywhere in front and behind the truck. citizens.
They are swarming up, desperately throwing all kinds of packages at the truck, including food, clothing, and fruits. All kinds of packages are flying into the carriage like raindrops, and the people in the carriage are trying their best to accept every package. Goodwill.
This is a repatriation convoy. The citizens of Xiangjiang also spontaneously come to try their best to help their compatriots and show their love. The nostalgia is thicker than water.
