Chapter 143 The Long Way Home (Part 1)

"Is this...reached?"

Pan Meifeng was dizzy when she took the train and felt that the train had finally stopped. She stood up in the carriage. She felt a slight swelling under her feet and almost fell.

"Not yet!" Zhou Xiaoshan quickly grabbed her arm: "Be careful."

"How long have we been on the train? It feels like we have walked tens of thousands of miles on the road, as if we have arrived at another planet. Do you think this is not a military sub-district, and we still have to continue taking the train?" Pan Meifeng was confused, her eyes crossed the platform outside, and looked at the layers of mountains in the distance, looking at the distance with a little fear.

This strange place in front of me was so different from what she imagined when she came.

She had made mental preparations and would go to a poor mountainous area. But in fact, after the car, she gradually moved away from Hong Kong, and saw that they were all old buildings and pedestrians wearing the same styles that could not distinguish between men and women. There were few cars along the railway, and occasionally one or two were seen, which were also worn-out trucks for transporting supplies.

It's so poor that it's just this impression.

Looking at it, the mainland gave her the feeling that it was as poor as Africa she guessed.

This is in the relatively prosperous Guangzhou. Since the train arrived in Zhaoqing, it entered the mountainous area. All we saw were low wooden tile houses, and even thatched huts that were almost only available in books. It was not an elegant antique building, but a dilapidated house that was about to fall. The thatch on the roof had not been replaced for a long time, and the color was dark, as if it was about to rot.

The farmers who were farming on the slopes of the mountains were worn out and patches were everywhere. The farmer's face looked tired, and there was no such thing as she imagined as fighting against the sky and the earth.

Her passion is gradually fading.

The fear of unfamiliar environments and the huge gap between imagination and reality made her regret participating in this distant journey. If it weren't for the familiar Zhou Xiaoshan being his companion, Guan Fei and others were also next door, and everyone often chatted in the aisle to relieve her boredom, so that she could relieve her irritability. She was worried that she would really not be able to help jumping off the train suddenly, and even if she was walking, she would have to rush back to Hong Kong immediately.

The train was very slow and shaking all the way. There were too many stations along the way, so I often stopped to get on and off passengers. Every time I stopped, I stayed for at least a quarter of an hour, and the most for more than half an hour. The next night, in order to avoid a train, I drove to the diversion channel and stayed for more than two hours before returning to the original route and boarding the road again.

When I arrived in Kunming, I waited in the waiting room for more than two hours and then took another train.

A total of 1,800 kilometers of roads, which normally only takes one and a half days to arrive. But they changed cars back and forth, and walked around the road for three days and four nights, and all their energy was exhausted.

She really didn't have the strength to continue to tossing on the road.

She was anxious and excited about Zhou Xiaoshan and the others. She was in different states. She had no expectations for the military sub-district.

This is still in the mainland, they are so poor, and relying on domestic support of military sub-districts will only be worse, right?

My mind was so funny. How could I be so stupid that I believed Zhou Xiaoshan's words, and I took the train a few thousand miles away to see what places he had fought and lived in.

This is the stupidest decision I have ever made!

Pan Meifeng had no strength, her brain was still in a state of chaos, she didn't lift a piece of luggage in her hand, and she leaned against Zhou Xiaoshan, and was helped by him and walked off the train carefully.

"Lao Guan!"

"Shengguo! You guy scared me, why did you run to Chuxiong?"

As soon as her feet fell to the ground of the platform, she saw a man with dark skin rushing towards her, which scared Pan Meifeng. Before she could scream, she heard Guan Fei scream, stepped forward a few steps, hugged the other party tightly, and both sides patted each other's back hard, feeling very excited.

It turns out that this is the political commissar they called, and it seems that he was named Zhang Shengguo.

"If I hadn't picked you up, who would have run so far? There was still a big deal waiting to be dealt with at home!" The man named Zhang Shengguo was dark, thin and tall, smiling, and waved his hand behind him, "Why are you still standing there? Come and help the commander and the others move things!"

"Good!"

With a shout, dozens of strong men with strange clothes and buzz cuts came up. They grabbed their luggage from each other, carrying or carrying it on their backs. In less than a few minutes, they were all equipped on several iron frames.

Being down to earth, Pan Meifeng's strength has recovered a little bit, and was startled by their decisive actions, and her confused brain suddenly woke up. She looked back and forth at the strange costumes they were wearing, very surprised.

The outfits of these people are in the same style, and you can tell at a glance that they are uniforms. The surface of the clothes is green and black. She still recognizes her lack of military knowledge, which is called camouflage.

In addition to watching camouflage uniforms worn by European and American troops on TV and movies, this is the first time she has seen camouflage uniforms on domestic troops.

Unlike the fat green uniforms of the People's Liberation Army in the mainland, these people wear camouflage uniforms, including cuffs, waist, and trousers. This outfit sets off their lively actions. After moving, they are arranged in a row according to their height and are uniform in their uniform manner. Although they do not have a collar badge, they look particularly strong.

Speaking of trouser legs, she looked down and was surprised to find that the soldiers were not wearing military green rubber shoes, but thick high-tube cowhide boots!

Very stylish!

At this time, she suddenly discovered that Li Qing and other guards following Guan Fei had changed into the same style of clothing at some point.

This is their military uniform!

She quickly understood, approached Zhou Xiaoshan's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Are these your people? Are they all soldiers?"

"Yes! These must be soldiers from the guard squad!" Zhou Xiaoshan stared at these soldiers excitedly. Several guys standing at the head of the team and winking at him were Qian Qun and Shu Cheng, who were in the guard squad before. Although the others were new faces, they thought they were newly recruited soldiers from the guard squad.

The other party was in a neat line. He and several other former guard soldiers who returned from Hong Kong wanted to reminisce about the past with their comrades, but were afraid of violating military discipline. They could only suppress their excitement and followed the other party from afar, so excited that their palms were sweating.

"You commander is so generous. The clothes and shoes he sent them are very exquisitely crafted and look so handsome. But this one is not cheap. It may cost two or three thousand to buy in Hong Kong!" Pan Meifeng regained her vitality and said in a low voice with bright eyes.

"That's right, it's a few hundred for US dollars. Unfortunately, I've been in Hong Kong and I don't have mine. This military uniform is so impressive. It looks much better than the British military uniform. When I go back, I'll get one right!" Zhou Xiaoshan stared at his comrades enviously, wishing he could fly back immediately with wings and get one on.

The other former guard squad soldiers who returned were also envious, and their scorching eyes made the other party raise their chins and feel extremely proud.

"You are not a member of the guard squad now, are there any?" Pan Meifeng was eager to try it out, and she wanted to see Zhou Xiaoshan wearing this handsome military uniform immediately, and was worried that she would not have the share.

"It's not only the guard squad, the entire army has this kind of new military uniform!" Zhou Xiaoshan said proudly, then pushed her, "Don't stand there, leave!"

"oh!"

Only then did Pan Meifeng realize that she followed Zhou Xiaoshan and dozens of people left the platform.

Perhaps it was the first time that locals saw these soldiers’ outfits. Passengers getting on and off the bus gathered curiously, standing not far away and pointing at the sight.

Compared with the large number of imitation green military uniforms among ordinary passengers, as well as the uniforms of either blue or gray, the People's Army's uniforms are more grand in the crowd. The young people are passionate and impulsive, and they are very proud of their faces. Under the crowd's onlookers, the guards are more excited and stomp their feet harder when walking. The high-tube boots at the bottom of the cow tendon were stepped on the concrete floor, making neat steps, and dozens of people actually walked out of the pace of the large army's march.

"These guys! I asked why they had to change their combat boots every six months, and I thought they were working hard for training. It turned out that they were busy showing off in front of others all day long!" Zhang Shengguo was in a warm conversation with Guan Fei, but was alarmed by the increasingly louder and neat steps behind him. When he looked back, he couldn't laugh and cry. Then he raised his face and shouted, "What are you doing? You are too energetic and have no place to play, right? If you walk in sync, you will startle the ordinary people, so just walk back on foot!"

After being trained by him, the guards were sluggish and no longer pursued unified steps, but instead walked in a simple way.

However, the scenes that made the crowd still attracted many tourists to follow them all the way. They talked about their camouflage training uniforms, and the crowds gathered but continued to disperse, which was actually a trend.

This is because they did not wear collar seals and hat badges, otherwise the sensation would have caused even greater.

The situation here attracted the attention of the station. Several police officers from the station police station with blue public security uniforms ran over and immediately understood the scene. They also belonged to the insider, but because they didn't know much about confidentiality, they thought this was a special force, so they immediately maintained order, separated the crowd, escorted them all the way out to get off the station, and boarded the waiting vehicle outside.

Pan Meifeng sat down on the bus and breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't expect that the scene of people in China was so curious and surrounded by hundreds of people made her feel very nervous. She always lowered her head and did not dare to face it.

"This bus is good, and it's not bad at all compared to Hong Kong! I know where the money you earned is used." After sitting down, she looked around the car, stretched with satisfaction, then woke up and quickly pulled the curtains.

Zhou Xiaoshan sat down next to her sneakily, his clothes were bulging, he turned his body to block the other people's sight, and proudly took out a military uniform from the clothes.

"Wow!" Pan Meifeng's eyes immediately shone when she saw it, and she screamed and wanted to reach out to grab it.

"Shh! Don't shout! This is what Li Qing asked them for just now, and secretly stuffed it to me when people were not careful. Don't attract the wolf." Zhou Xiaoshan hurriedly put his finger on his lips, asking her not to alarm others.

"What's the wolf here..., I'll go, Zhou Xiaoshan, you are not authentic! When did you steal a new military uniform and sneakily prevent us from seeing it? Say, where did it come from?" Fang Xiao, who was sitting behind, heard a vague sound, and looked suspiciously, immediately screaming madly, asking Zhou Xiaoshan to quietly change into a new military uniform to completely go bankrupt.
