Xu Ningyan was woken up only when the radio sounded in the carriage.

Seeing that she was awake, Gu Zhiyuan also sat up and asked Xu Ningyan to wash up first.

Xu Ningyan took the teapot, toothbrush, toothpaste, and towel to the car connection.

It's still early at this moment, and there aren't many people going to the toilet.

She pinched her nose and went to the toilet first. After washing herself, she went to Gu Zhiyuan.

After Gu Zhiyuan finished washing, he took their lunch boxes to the dining car and staggered back after a while.

I packed two large lunch boxes of white porridge, four large steamed buns, some pickles, and two boiled eggs and placed them on the table.

Xu Ningyan woke up after a night's sleep and felt better. In addition, the environment in the soft sleeper was better and the smell was not that bad, so she finally had an appetite.

After finishing a lunch box of porridge, a steamed bun, and eating a boiled egg, Gu Zhiyuan took care of the rest.

After dinner, there was nothing to do, and there were many things that couldn't be said on the train. The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Xu Ningyan pretended to take out the mathematics, physics and chemistry books from the bag, but actually took out the mathematics and physics books from the space: "Anyway, being idle is idle. , tell me the topic!"

Gu Zhiyuan smiled, took the book, and asked calmly: "Tell me, which question don't you know?"

The whole morning was spent on the topic.

At noon, I packed a lunch box of hot soup and stir-fried vegetables, ate the dry-baked pancakes and meat sauce that Xu Ningyan brought, and then packed my luggage and prepared to transfer.

Half an hour before getting off the train, the conductor came to inform them and enthusiastically told them how to transfer.

When the train arrived at the station, the conductor helped them get their luggage out of the train. Without waiting for the two to thank them, he turned around and got on the train.

After struggling for another hour, the two of them boarded the train to the Northwest Military Region.

The further northwest you go along the way, the more desolate it becomes.

There is less and less green, and more and more Gobi and barren mountains come into view.

The sun was scorching the earth at noon, and the hot wind blew sand in through the car window, blowing sand and dust all over people's heads and faces.

At night, the temperature suddenly dropped. The car windows were closed tightly, and I still felt cold even in my single clothes.

Fortunately, both of them were sleeping berths and had quilts to cover them. It was really cold, and they still had that brand-new military coat.

All he ate was noodles and steamed buns, which made Xu Ningyan, a southerner who couldn't think of anything without eating some rice a day, feel miserable in his stomach.

After finally arriving at Ganzhou Station, their destination, Xu Ningyan really breathed a sigh of relief.

It was already afternoon when we arrived at the station. Although Ganzhou Station was large, there were not many people coming down, so it looked empty and a bit desolate.

Before leaving, Gu Zhiyuan had already sent a telegram to the military region here, stating the arrival time.

Sure enough, when I got off the train, I saw two people in green military uniforms standing very conspicuously on the platform, holding a sign in their hands with several large characters written on it: Comrade Xu Ningyan.

Gu Zhiyuan signaled Xu Ningyan to follow him, walked over and said hello: "Hello, are you from the Northwest Military Region? This is Comrade Xu Ningyan, and I am her fiancé Gu Zhiyuan. We have received an official letter from your military region. , came from Jingshan County to cooperate with the investigation!"

As he spoke, he took out the letters of introduction between the two of them, as well as the official letter.

After carefully checking the letter of introduction, the two men in green uniforms looked at Gu Zhiyuan without any trace, and then saluted: "Gu Zhiyuan, Comrade Xu Ningyan, we are here to pick you up from the Northwest Military Region, please get in the car with us!"

After handing back the letter of introduction and official letter, he helped take the luggage.

Gu Zhiyuan took a step back and let go of their hands: "Can you two also show your IDs, please?"

The two men in green uniforms were stunned for a moment and frowned. Did they not believe them?

But when I recalled the company on Gu Zhiyuan's letter of introduction, it became clear, and he showed his ID very cooperatively.

After both sides checked each other, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

The man in green military uniform took the luggage and led the way while introducing the situation: "Our car is outside. After we get on the car, we still have a hundred kilometers to go to the military area. We won't leave tonight. We are in our military area." Rest one night at the guest house in Ganzhou and set off tomorrow morning!"

Afraid of misunderstanding between the two, he explained: "The road is not easy to walk. If we set out now, it will take five or six hours to arrive unless something unexpected happens. Moreover, there are wolves at night. If we encounter a sandstorm, it will be even worse, so in order to To be on the safe side, we’ll set off tomorrow morning.”

Gu Zhiyuan nodded: "I'm causing trouble for you!"

The two men in green military uniforms said seriously: "This is what we should do!"

There was a jeep outside the station. After getting on the jeep, it drove not long before we arrived at the guest house of the military region in Ganzhou.

There is a sentry at the door of the guest house. Before entering, you have to check your identity and register before you are allowed to enter.

Walking inside, you will find a rare two-story building. There are a few rare trees planted in front of the building. There are not many people inside. In addition to the green military uniforms and reception staff coming and going, there are also a few ordinary people dressed up sitting under the trees at the door. While chatting, there were several children playing and giggling not far away.

When they saw the jeep driving in, they all looked over.

Gu Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan got off the car and were taken to the front desk to go through the formalities.

The room is quite sufficient. There is a single room for each person, and it is arranged opposite the door. If anything happens, you can hear hello.

Two men in green military uniforms helped move their luggage into the room and told them that there was a bathhouse for bathing and a canteen for dinner in the evening. They could get tickets for bathing and meals at the front desk with their keys.

The cafeteria is open from six to seven in the evening, and there is nothing to eat after that time.

The same goes for taking a shower. The hot water runs out after [-]pm.

Breakfast is at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and departure starts at seven o'clock. We will meet at the door then.

After explaining this, the two green military uniforms took their leave.

The two of them packed their things a little, and the first thing they did was to take a shower.

After all, after being on the train for several days, not only the clothes but also the person were sour and smelly.

After grabbing a change of clothes, an enamel basin, towels, soap and other odds and ends, the two of them went to the front desk and each received a bathing ticket. Following the guidance of the front desk staff, they exited the gate and walked 50 meters to the right. Just turn left.

The bathhouse is divided into men and women, Xu Ningyan went straight into the women's bathhouse.

There was no one in the bathhouse at this time, so Xu Ningyan was alone after entering.

It was empty and you could see rows of hot water taps with no partitions, which meant that if there were a lot of people coming to take a shower, everyone would have to be honest with each other.

Xu Ningyan randomly chose a faucet inside and opened it, and hot water came out.

After taking a shower and washing her hair, Xu Ningyan soaped it three times before she felt it was clean.

After changing into clean clothes and coming out, he saw Gu Zhiyuan standing not far away, looking at the sunset on the horizon, wondering what he was thinking.

Judging from the posture, he had already washed himself and had been out waiting for a long time.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned around and saw Xu Ningyan's hair still dripping with water. He took the enamel basin she was holding and motioned for her to dry her hair first.

The two of them walked slowly towards where they lived.

When they arrived at the gate, the few people dressed as ordinary people tentatively said hello: "Comrade, are you also asked by the military region?"
