subtle trapping

Spring is shining, but in a moment.

Li Xia and his engineering team entered the western mountainous area, the situation was more complicated than they imagined, the dangerous and steep hills trapped all the people in the mountain, the underdeveloped traffic made people feel unbelievable, it was like being trapped The outside world is generally isolated.

When the engineering team went to investigate, the more people walked inside, the more silent everyone was, with gloomy eyes. The leaders of the town followed the engineering team, nodding and bowing along the way, as if the engineering team were living bodhisattvas. Cigarettes, although that kind of cigarettes look like a very low-quality brand, usually the people in the engineering team would never smoke the brand.

But Gu Gong accepted it, and the mayor's face was wrinkled with joy, as if he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The only link connecting the two mountains is a very simple bridge. But this spring, when the tide rose, the bridge was broken, and people in the mountains could not get out. The special order from above, the moment the plane landed, every Everyone is aware of the importance of this mission.

There are three villages in this small town surrounded by mountains, and the conditions in each village are almost the same, rough houses, low earth houses, and some blue brick houses, but relatively few.

The members of the engineering team lived temporarily in the village, and the village head arranged dozens of them to a few families with better accommodation conditions. If they couldn’t accommodate them, they lived in tents. They are very enthusiastic, knowing that these people are here to build roads and bridges for them, and almost took out the best things at home to entertain them.

Although the language is not very good, and there are some obstacles in communication, but the simplicity makes people feel sore eyes. Chang Le ran out and secretly wiped tears on the edge of the earth wall outside.

Lixia and Chang Le huddled together on the earthen kang at night when they were sleeping. The earthen kang was hard, and Chang Le couldn't get used to sleeping. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. After a while, he turned to his side and asked, "Brother Gu, have you slept yet?"

Li Xia closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Going to sleep soon."

"Oh," Chang Le originally wanted to chat with Li Xia, but thought he had woken Li Xia up, felt quite sorry, and whispered, "Go to sleep."

It rained at night, the drizzle fell on everyone's sleep, and fell on every place in the mountain, moistening everything silently.

When I woke up in the morning, the air was exceptionally good. The engineering team went into the mountain for investigation. Everyone was carrying heavy equipment. The mayor led a special person to open the way ahead. The reason why we needed to find a special person was because of the deep mountain. There are all kinds of wild animals in the old forest. If you are not familiar with the road, you may get lost in it, and they have to go to the deep mountains for surveying and mapping.

Chang Le was very curious about seeing wild animals. He carried the surveying instrument and looked around every day, but he couldn’t see anything. The elder brother who led the way said in crappy Mandarin: “It’s very dangerous. That's good."

Chang Le didn't care, and said with a smile: "Hey, it's okay, aren't you holding a shotgun?"

The eldest brother tightened the shotgun behind his back and said, "If you can't kill, don't kill. If you kill, there will be retribution. The mountain gods are watching."

Chang Le paused, was speechless for a while, scratched his head in embarrassment, and continued his surveying and mapping work, but it didn't work out. After a few days, when they went deeper, they really met , the eldest brother saw marks on the ground at first, and asked them carefully if they could not go inside. Li Xia asked what was wrong, and the eldest brother pointed to the marks on the road.

Because of the rain, the soil in the woods is a bit soft, and the marks on it are very clear. Li Xia looked at those messy marks, and felt a little unreasonable worry and doubt in his heart, "What is this?"

The eldest brother said: "It is likely to be wild boars, and there are more in this area."

Several people in the engineering team were a little nervous, but Chang Le felt very excited, and kept pulling his elder brother and said, "Is the wild boar powerful? Is it big?"

Li Xia looked at their small team, only a dozen of them, and thought about calling Mr. Zhao, but he took out his mobile phone, deep in the mountains and old forests, there was no signal without accident, so he made a decisive decision to tell everyone not to go there. After walking inside, although Chang Le wanted to go deeper, she also understood Li Xia's approach.

The summer in Dashan seems to be particularly fond of rain. It rains almost every few days, and the progress of the engineering team is delayed. During the ten days or so of being here for nearly half a month, the progress of the survey work is very slow. Li Xia made Gu Gong a pot of tea and brought it over. Zhao Gong was flipping through a thick book with hand-made drawings scattered on the table.

Mr. Zhao looked at the continuous rain outside and said, "Do you have any ideas about this project?"

Li Xia thought for a while, organized his language for a while, and then began to speak in detail slowly, the rain was murmuring outside the window, and the two of them talked for a long, long time in the low and low room.

Because of the rain, I couldn’t work, and because the Internet in the mountains was intermittent, my mobile phone couldn’t read it, and the project couldn’t continue. Everyone was very impatient. Chang Le even started playing the only game on the mobile phone that didn’t require the Internet, Tetris and Snake. Li Xia was reading a book as usual.

The farmer they lived in had five children, three daughters and two sons. Both daughters were married and married to the next village. The eldest son and his wife went out to work. , recuperating at home, in addition to two old people, there is a youngest daughter and a daughter-in-law in the family, but the basic labor is gone, and the eldest son's house is left, so he lives in Lixia and Changle.

The youngest daughter only went to elementary school. She is about fifteen or sixteen years old. She helps her parents with work at home and maintains a basic livelihood. When she meets these engineering team members, she is very shy and her Mandarin is not good. She dared not talk to Lixia at first They communicated, and every time they ate and called, they looked timidly at the door.

Thanks to Chang Le's natural ability to deal with people, he was careless and heartless, and after a few days, he became familiar with them. Every time the little girl came to call them for dinner, she shouted: "Brother, it's time to eat." Putonghua There is a local accent in it, but somehow it makes people feel simple and cute.

During the rainy days, Chang Le and Li Xia stayed at home, and the little girl could not go outside to work. When Chang Le was tired from playing games, he helped the little girl peel beans and chatted with her.

"How old are you this year?"

"Sixteen." The little girl said timidly.

"Does it often rain here in summer?"

"It was okay before, but this year... more." The little girl said.

……

It's raining, and there seems to be no end.

After a few days, the weather finally cleared up. Chang Le had never felt that he loved work so much. He ran out carrying the surveying equipment, feeling like the pet that had been kept in captivity for a long time was finally released from the cage.

Mr. Zhao divided the personnel into several surveying and mapping teams, and gave special orders to wait for the good weather and seize every opportunity to complete the task as soon as possible.

But unexpectedly, something happened this time. Lixia followed Mr. Zhao this time, because someone in the other group caught a cold, so Chang Le had to go with that group. As a result, Chang Le's group encountered a wild boar in the mountains. At that time, the big brother who led the team said that there were wild boars, so we should change the route, but the team leader wanted to finish the task as soon as possible and go back to hand over the work, saying that he would not be so memorized, so he should not encounter it.

As a result, it was too late to withdraw when he realized something was wrong. The team leader who led the team used anesthesia at the beginning and never thought of killing him, but one of them was frightened. When the big brother who led the team said to leave quickly , As a result, the man accidentally stabbed the wild boar with a knife. As a result, the wild boar became furious and kicked the man over, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Mr. Zhao couldn't speak stably when he knew that he was angry, so he reprimanded him severely, and quickly called the satellite phone and asked someone to come over to pick it up. In the past few days, the person who led the team had changed, and the whole group realized that this mountain was far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface, and there were dangers lurking everywhere.

Chang Le had nightmares at night, and suddenly jumped on Li Xia, dragging Li Xia and not letting go, waking Li Xia up, and the two of them didn't sleep well for most of the night. Yan's little daughter-in-law looks aggrieved.

Li Xia waved his hand, "It's alright, alright, you and I will team up."

The survey team has been here for two months. Although the project has lagged a little before, but it has made up for it. At any rate, it has not fallen behind much. The project has entered the most important stage. The engineering team will have meetings almost every now and then. Mr. Zhao started to work It is very detailed, and the requirements are also high. Every day, the people below are forced to continue to modify and complete, which makes everyone complain.

At the meeting, Chang Le was criticized by his master for being useless, which made Chang Le very frustrated, wondering if he had entered the wrong profession, Li Xia said: "It's not that you don't know his character, he has a straight temper and speaks straight, If he really thinks that you did a bad job, he will throw the notebook out on the spot and let you explain slowly, you should think about it, right?"

Chang Le raised his head and asked Li Xia, "Brother Gu, have you ever been scolded so badly by Mr. Zhao?"

Li Xia smiled, "Yes."

Chang Le was taken aback, "?"

Li Xia thought to himself, it's more than miserable, that scolding blood sprayer, wished to die on the spot, wished to overturn the table on the spot, waved his hands and said, I quit, what the hell.

But he didn't. He survived the most embarrassing and difficult times. Chang Le asked Li Xia one day, why?Have you ever thought about giving up?

No.

This is Li Xia's only affirmative answer. He has never thought of giving up. He always feels that if he can't even bear this bit of hardship, what will he do in the future? He never feels that life favors him too much, and he doesn't even feel a little pity .

Perhaps God's greatest pity and preference for him was to allow him to meet Lu Jinchu, but he lost him in the end.

Where is he now?How are you doing?Do you remember yourself?

Lixia doesn't know.
