Traveling Together
After nearly seven hours of train travel, they finally arrived in Kunming. At around four in the afternoon, they left the Kunming train station and went to the bus station to change buses. Because they had already learned about the ticket purchase strategy on the Internet, the border management department of Yunnan directly banned all buses that went directly to the border. Even cars that went directly to the border cities were not allowed to pass. Therefore, they could only use a trick to move to the border area step by step.
Their first step was to Dali. When they arrived at Dali, the sky was completely dark. It was already 10:30 p. m. They wanted to continue to change trains overnight, but all the night trains had stopped. They had to buy tickets for the next morning's departure to Lincang City.
When they were ready, it was already past 11 o'clock at night. Because Yunnan was nearly two hours later than Beijing, it was the time when Dali's nightlife reached its peak.
Playing was a common hobby of almost all young people in this era, and Dali had always been a tourist city. Although it was the end of the year and there were not many tourists, it still could not stop the instinctive activities of those businesses. Although the city was not decorated everywhere, it was difficult to feel the depression after the disaster in the northern cities.
Food was not completely banned here because Yunnan had many special dishes that were not suitable for national food reserves. Perhaps it was because the government had imposed absolute restrictions on many common and popular foods, which made Yunnan's most unique food even more popular.
There were many things that the general public did not dare to eat before, but now they appeared in front of the general public. Moreover, because of the extreme lack of other foods, it further caused the relative popularity of specialty foods.
For example, the " three squeaks " in Yunnan had become the most unique and most expensive food in Yunnan. It had also become a food that only the bravest people dared to eat.
When Lin Fang knew that there was such a special local snack, she insisted on trying it, causing Yue Hua Yang to look at her with surprise. Because he felt that she definitely didn't understand what the three squeaks meant.
So Yue Hua Yang used her phone to search for the popular science knowledge of " three squeaks ". Lin Fang's face turned red and white after reading it, so scared that she no longer dared to think about this dish. They walked around the food stall for a long time. When they looked at the things that were either insects, poisonous snakes, or strange animals and plants, Lin Fang chose left and right and couldn't choose anything. Of course, there were many people like them who were just spectators. After all, there were many things that they didn't dare to eat. In the end, she had to go somewhere else to choose a few kebabs and a few roasted wild vegetables to eat. She avoided those insects, poisonous snakes, and some strange animals and plants.
Yue Hua Yang really didn't want to hurt her feelings, so she didn't say a word if she could. Who knew that she was full of praise for the meat skewers and insisted on asking the owner what kind of meat the meat skewers were made of, because this special taste was something she had never tasted before.
The shop owner looked at the food on their table and refused to say anything again and again. This made Lin Fang even more curious. In the end, it was Yue Huayang who said this to Lin Fang, and she stopped asking.
He said,"Don't ask. The more you know, the worse it will be for you in the future. You might even become a vegetarian."
She stammered,"This…this can't be human flesh, right?"
Yue Hua Yang laughed and said,"Even if the boss had 10,000 guts, he wouldn't dare to sell human flesh."
She asked,"What is that?" Tell me quickly.
He said,"You can eat it without worry. It's definitely wild game in the field."
Lin Fang saw that Yue Hua Yang had also eaten a few skewers. It didn't feel strange at all, but seeing that they didn't reveal the mystery of what it was, Lin Fang guessed that there were several strange food types, such as cats, birds, and even weasel-like animals. She even thought of rat meat, but she quickly ruled it out because she felt that rats were not easy to catch, and there was very little meat on them. Besides, few people could accept eating rat meat.
As Lin Fang had already developed a grudge against meat, she did not eat a single piece of meat during the rest of the meal. She only chose to eat some plant-based food. When everything was over, they found that the prices here were only about eight times that of the previous year. The overall price of the goods was much lower than that of the densely populated areas in China. This surprised the two of them a little, but it made the shop owner feel that he had increased the price. In the end, he even gave them a few skewers to show that it was "fair".
The two of them shopped together until it was almost one o'clock in the evening. At this moment, it was already the 11th day of the first lunar month after the New Year. The taste of the New Year had long faded after the great disaster. The Lantern Festival was probably not very good in such an atmosphere. It made no difference whether it existed or not, because many people lived a life where they did not know what the future would be like. Or rather, life in the settlement had completely worn out their fighting spirit. Some people lived the most basic life of security. They had lost interest in living outside because the outside world could not even provide the most basic food security, which greatly restricted the freedom of movement of many people. Of course, this was beneficial to the disaster areas that were still in turmoil in the early stages. It was also an indispensable guarantee of stability.
After midnight, they found a hotel and stayed there until dawn. They went to the bus station to take the bus to Lin Lun area. When they arrived at the bus station waiting hall, Yue Huayang saw Liu Zhengqin lying on the seat in the waiting hall. Liu Zhengqin was looking at a minority woman who was dressed in Chinese clothing. This woman looked to be over forty years old, but her colorful clothes and headwear would still easily attract the attention of outsiders.
Lin Fang felt that Yue Huayang was slightly strange, so she followed his eyes and looked in that direction. At first glance, she felt that she did not know him at all, but she felt a little familiar. When she continued to look at him carefully, she suddenly realized that he was the wretched man in the train. His eyes moved away from the older minority woman and looked at her. He stared at the two of them and did not move. The moment she met this person's eyes, her eyes were instantly filled with disgust. She even snorted heavily.
Her dissatisfied snort did not interrupt the other party's gaze on them. In fact, the other party even moved his body because of this snort. He quickly sat up straight and stood up with a special smile on his face. However, in Lin Fang's eyes, this kind of smile seemed particularly wretched. However, she soon found that Yue Huayang's face also showed the same smile. Soon, he walked away from her by a body's distance. Then, the two of them hugged each other heavily and patted each other's backs a few times. They also began to talk excitedly.
Liu Zhengqin: Brother Hua Yang! I thought you had been working in Guogan for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here.
Yue Hua Yang: Brother Zheng Qin! I was stuck on the road as soon as I went out and only came here now? I just don't know why you're here?
Liu Zhengqin: " You know my family's situation too. We really can't afford a wife in our country. I'm going to buy one from Kokang or just stay in Kokang to develop my career!" You don't know that your brothers have made a fortune in Guogan! They've only been separated for a few days, and they're already wives. They have a house and land. I'm so envious and jealous…Sigh!
Yue Hua Yang: What did you say? My brothers also went to Kokang?
Liu Zhengqin: You don't know? Two of your brothers have become company commanders, several platoon leaders, and even the worst of them is a squad leader. They have more than a hundred soldiers under them, and the land they have conquered is as big as a township. Think about how much assets a township has. Even if the Kokang government took the majority of the money, the remaining 10% was still a huge amount. They had all made a fortune. If I had followed them out earlier…Sigh! Let's not talk about this anymore.
Yue Hua Yang,[Are they all bold?] And he even became a soldier?
Liu Zhengqin: " Yes, yes. They arrived at Kokang on the night of the second day of the second lunar month, which is the early morning of the third lunar month. It was just in time for the Kokang government to recruit soldiers. They started off with a reinforcement class and soon developed into two companies. Now, I heard that they were preparing to set up a battalion-level unit." They had all become successful. Right, if you rush over, you might very well become the battalion commander. When the time comes, you have to take care of your brother!
Yue Hua Yang was still in shock. As for what he said after that, he didn't hear it clearly. Just because he didn't hear it clearly didn't mean that Lin Fang didn't hear it clearly. Lin Fang's initial suspicion slowly turned into confusion, and then shock. Because in her impression, he was unattractive and even a very dull person most of the time. He actually had the potential to become a battalion commander directly. She felt that her previous advantage had instantly disappeared. At the same time, she was proud of the man she had chosen.
When she first heard that he was going to take her to Kokang, she thought that he was just going to buy a permanent piece of land in the Kokang area. Then, the man would farm and the woman would weave and live a idyllic life. She did not expect him to have such potential. She had never heard him mention it before. Perhaps he did not even know about it before. Because all of this could be seen from their conversation and his expression.
At this moment, Liu Zhengqin also noticed Lin Fang. He saw that the two of them were together, but he didn't know what their relationship was, nor did he know how to address Lin Fang. Therefore, he could only nod at Lin Fang as a greeting.
Lin Fang walked forward and nodded at Liu Zhengqin. Then, she pulled Yue Hua Yang's clothes and pulled him out of his shocked state.
After that, Yue Huayang introduced Liu Zhengqin, saying that he was a fellow villager he knew. Liu Zhengqin.
Liu Zhengqin hurriedly added,"They've known each other since they were young, and they've been playing together since primary school and middle school."
Lin Fang said,"Hello, Brother Liu."
Yue Huayang nodded and introduced Lin Fang to Liu Zhengqin. He said that Lin Fang was his girlfriend.
After that, Liu Zhengqin kept calling her sister-in-law, which made Yue Huayang and Lin Fang feel very strange. He was clearly older than them, whether it was the marks carved by time or his actual age, but he still insisted on calling them, Brother and sister-in-law.
The bus to Lin Cang began to check tickets. Coincidentally, the three of them were going to that place, so they began to travel together.
As the car drove, Liu Zhengqin explained everything he knew about Guogan to Yue Huayang. In the end, everyone in the car began to discuss Guogan, so more and more information began to enter their ears.
It made their hearts go up and down with the ups and downs of courage.
