split sky ride

Chapter 2 - "Fēi"

Carrying a big hiking bag and dragging the suitcase, Chen Fei stayed in place for a while. After pondering the electronic map, Chen Fei was about to set off according to the walking navigation prompts. As soon as he lifted his foot, he heard someone shouting.

"Hey, I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, save money to buy roads!"

"Robbery, men left and women right, neither men nor women stand where they are."

"Be serious, robbery!"

Then there was another burst of giggles.

Chen Fei looked around, and saw a row of small heads lined up on the mountain ridge not far away, looking at him winkingly.

It turned out that a group of brats were doing the trick.

"Ali, Amir, Mauri, you guys are getting nervous again. There was the sound of a gyroplane just now. Who's here?"

A nice woman's voice came over, and the heads of those mischievous ghosts disappeared in the blink of an eye, just like a mouse seeing a cat, they all scattered like birds and beasts.

"Hello!"

Chen Fei took the initiative to say hello loudly.

"Are you...the new teacher?"

A young girl appeared in Chen Fei's field of vision, with long hair tied in a ponytail, standing on the other side of the mountain ridge, looking graceful.

"No, I'm not a teacher." Chen Fei quickly waved his hand, pointed to the direction indicated by the electronic map, and continued, "I'm going to the 911 air base."

The 911 aircrew base that warned about the "Three Jumper" two-seater rotorcraft on the public radio channel is exactly his destination.

"Isn't it?"

The girl was obviously a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mood, looked Chen Fei up and down, and asked, "My name is Shen Fei, Shen from Three Points of Water, Fei from Fangfei."

In the Kushi mountainous area of ​​Hindu, the most common ones are the native Patans, or the Ta people and Temuri people, and the foreigners from the northeast are the least common, and they are even more minorities than the minorities.

"Hello, I'm Chen Fei, Erdong Chen, right and wrong."

After traveling thousands of miles to the Kushi mountainous area in Xingdu, he unexpectedly met Chen Fei, a compatriot, and his mood immediately improved.

At least here, I am no longer alone.

Moreover, both of their names have the homonym "fēi", which can be regarded as fate in a sense.

"That's right, fellow townsman, nice to meet you, Chen Fei!"

The young girl climbed over the mountain ridge and walked towards Chen Fei with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

When the fellow villagers saw the fellow villagers, their eyes were full of tears, and a sense of intimacy emerged spontaneously.

His surname is Chen Mingfei, he speaks fluently without stuttering, his words are correct, his pronunciation is standard textbook-level, and he has black hair, black eyes and yellow skin.

Chen Fei thought that the other party had mentioned "the new teacher" just now, and then contacted those little kids pretending to be the king of the mountain, so he tentatively asked: "Shen, Miss Shen, are you here...to teach?"

Shen Fei nodded, and said with a sweet smile: "Yes, I am an elementary school teacher here, teaching general subjects, and also serving as the principal, school doctor, chef, and nanny. I have to do everything here. Not a place to talk, come with me!"

She immediately led the way for Chen Fei.

Chen Fei took a sneak peek and found that the girl's face, which was in her prime, left more or less traces of mountain wind and sunshine.

A young woman volunteered to teach in this remote mountainous area full of Pathan and Ta people. Impulse and passion alone were not enough to persevere.

Chen Fei said emotionally, "It's really not easy!"

"Some things have to be done, don't they?"

Shen Fei has no complaints and is still very optimistic.

At this moment, the two just climbed over the mountain ridge and saw a large courtyard surrounded by cement and stones.

There are several simple houses, both classrooms and dormitories.

The front yard is poured with cement, a basketball hoop is set up, and there are two table tennis tables also made of cement. There are several vegetable fields in the back yard. The green growth is very gratifying, and several trees of different varieties are scattered. In the meantime, you can still see a warm shed, next to the sheep pen and poultry house, the sounds of bleating and rattling are intertwined, making people feel comfortable and peaceful.

The light of civilization shines on the world, but not every corner has the same brightness. There are always some remote places, as if going back in time, looking as if they were isolated from the world more than 100 years ago.

Shen Fei pointed to those carefree children who were welcome to play, and said in a relieved tone: "Look, there are still them here, I'm not alone."

These lovely children are the motivation for her to persevere. They are a little skinny and a little bearish, but in class, they all listen carefully to the lectures, and their painstaking efforts are not in vain.

"Apart from those students, are you alone?"

Chen Fei looked at this small farmyard full of life.

In this desolate mountain, the yard is like a paradise.

"Myself!"

Shen Fei nodded affirmatively, and then said: "Although it is not convenient, the locals are very enthusiastic. By the way, there is also the 911 air base. I often go there to buy things, and they will also deliver some things for me. Do you still want to go to 911? It’s getting dark soon, and the road is probably not easy to walk, there are wild wolves and bandits, why don’t you stay here for one night first, and I’ll find a student to take you there tomorrow?”

"Wild wolves? Bandits?"

Chen Fei couldn't help opening his eyes wide. How could these students and a female teacher be able to stop those vicious guys.

Shen Fei stuck out her tongue, and said playfully, "Don't worry, I don't have anything valuable here, bandits never come, they won't rob the school, as for wild wolves, those locals will regularly beat wolves and throw their bodies away In the vicinity, the wild wolves dare not come over, and I still have a gun, a Type 95, a second-hand replica, but it’s pretty good.”

The 95 gun family with relatively small recoil is always a bit old, and it is indeed suitable for women with little strength to control. The lethality and accuracy are guaranteed, and it is more than enough to deal with emergencies such as bandits and beasts.

Shen Fei looked Chen Fei up and down, and said, "Have you thought about it? I still have a spare room here!"

"Thank you, I don't need it anymore, I'm in a hurry."

Chen Fei shook his head, because there was too much delay on the road, he had to complete the report today, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

"All right!"

Shen Fei didn't try to persuade him to stay again, but waved at the little boys running wildly in the small yard.

"Amir, bring me my gun, and two magazines, and a sack of bread."

The name "Amir" was just one of the few brats who tried to "verbally rob" Chen Fei just now.

"Okay, teacher!"

One of the little boys slapped his backside with his heels, rushed into a room in a hurry, and soon ran out with a black and shiny 95-type automatic rifle on his back, holding two full guns in his arms. Magazines for bullets and a plastic bag full of bullets.

Chen Fei's eyes were a little straight.

Following his gaze, Shen Fei guessed why Chen Fei was surprised, smiled, and said: "Every household here has guns, and guns and ammunition are necessities of life. Children have touched guns since they were young and know how to measure them. Don't worry!"

In Chen Fei and Shen Fei's hometown, it would be unthinkable for an underage child to rashly swagger through the market with a murderous weapon.

After receiving the Type 95 automatic rifle and the magazine from the little boy Amir who ran all the way to the front, Shen Fei passed it to Chen Fei and said, "Take it, I borrowed it from you, it can be used for self-defense, and it is also a token." , you should know how to use it? This is the insurance, this is the speed machine, this is the trigger, remember the insurance, be careful of fire, take the bread with you on the road, I made it with my own hands, it tastes very good.”

"Yes, it will work, thank you, what about you?"

Chen Fei reacted immediately, and hurriedly took the gun and the magazine, including the gun and the magazine, a total of 90 rounds of ammunition. He would not be afraid to meet a small group of bandits and wolves, and it could indeed guarantee his personal safety.

"I've got a small revolver and some grenades."

The warm-hearted little villager Shen Fei shrugged.

As the only school within a radius of [-] miles, it is actually very safe, not to mention the local people are tough, if there is an emergency, they will not sit idly by.

The 911-type automatic rifle obtained by the 95 Air Force Base is not only for self-defense, but also a thought. Seeing it is like seeing a native hometown, or there is a small peach wood carving fish hanging on the muzzle.

There are many tattered AKs in the local area, and the original factory will not have them at all. With the passage of decades, the internal stress has been released, and the gun body has been deformed. High, the vitality of this old gun is extremely tenacious.

As for the feeling of playing, there are almost no accurate replicas, and there is a mahogany fish attached to the muzzle sight, which is the only one.

Locals know who the gun belongs to as soon as they see it.

"Thank you, Teacher Shen, I will return the gun to you as soon as possible."

Chen Fei thanked again.

When meeting for the first time, he can lend himself a gun for self-defense. He has to remember this favor.
