Some people miss it, and some people hope to forget it forever.
It is unbearable to look back at the monstrous water of the Yellow River, the arduous trek due to hunger and cold, and the human tragedy of exchanging children for food...
During the New Year period, Zhao Xin was still busy, sending batches of people away and bringing them back again. During this period, he himself disappeared for more than ten days, and no one knew where he went.
More than a hundred people at the power plant finally calmed down after seeing an extra remittance on their bank cards that was the same as the number agreed on in the trust document. They all shouted to work hard for a hundred days, and they must be there.
Complete the host installation before the end of March.
In the wilderness south of Jurgen Military Fortress, a grass-green monster like a flat square box emitted black smoke and rumbled across the black field, shocking the soldiers guarding Jurgen City.
Chin and eyeballs.
"My dear, what kind of animal is this?"
Zhu Dagui, who had returned with the hunting team, was sitting on a horse-drawn sledge, picking up his newly dropped chin, and heard a refugee next to him exclaiming in surprise.
"Brother Dagui, what kind of fodder does this beast eat?"
"Eat oil."
"Eating oil? Damn it, there's not enough grass on the ground for it to eat! I've grown so big that I only got a bite of oil when I came to Beihai Town."
The young man looked back at the roe deer and wild boar loaded on the sledge, and his mouth began to drool again.
Zhu Dagui looked at the young man's appearance and laughed and cursed: "I ate meat for three days in a row during the New Year. Why are you hungry again now?"
"Brother Dagui, as you say, there is no time when you have enough meat."
Fan Tong was sitting in the armored vehicle, feeling shaken, and the two bowls of porridge he drank for breakfast were churning in his stomach. Liu Sheng, who was in the driver's seat, was full of excitement, and the motorcycle handlebar steering wheel made the armored vehicle turbulent.
It is extremely comfortable to operate, and the four TNPO-170 periscopes can provide excellent vision while driving.
"Da Liu, please slow down, I can't stand it anymore!" Fan Tong covered his mouth and shouted loudly.
"What? What did you say? Louder!"
Damn it! Fan Tong was so angry that he kicked Liu Sheng in the back. But there was a bump that followed, and Fan Tong's head hit the roof of the car. The hand covering his mouth loosened and he squirted.
Liu Sheng's head...
The armored vehicle finally stopped. Fan Tong opened the back door and ran away. After a while, Liu Sheng, who was wearing a helmet, got out of the car and gave chase. Poor Fan Tong couldn't outrun Liu Sheng, and was finally grabbed and killed.
He was pinned down by Liu Sheng.
"Da Liu, I was wrong!" Fan Tong immediately admitted defeat.
"What's wrong?"
"I should just drink two more bowls of porridge in the morning."
"!!"
After begging for mercy, Fan Tong finally got into the driver's seat and drove the armored vehicle across the wilderness amidst Liu Sheng's yells and curses.
In early February, Fan Tong proposed to Wu Ping'an that he wanted to leave the power plant system and join the Beihai Navy. He shuddered at the thought that after the equipment was put into operation, he would have to start his three-shift life again.
This is also an inspection. Wu Anping would never agree to changing to another position. Later, Fan Tong approached Zhao Xin. Of course, Zhao Xin was happy, so he asked Fan Tong to go to Fuldan City and give Liu Sheng the job first. Work as an assistant. While familiarizing yourself with the army's organization, you can lose weight through training.
With the expansion of the population in Beihai Town, there are now three primary schools, and the school in Whale Bay is the third. In view of this, Beihai Town Technical School has opened several new majors, all of which are designed around positions related to power plants. .
In mid-February, the ice on the Wusuli River had just begun to loosen, and the azaleas had not yet sprouted their green leaves. Liu Sheng, Fan Tong, and Wang Yuanfang led a cavalry company across the still-frozen Xingkai Lake toward Balke Village. let's go.
He is going to pick up the bride. After the wedding, Liu Sheng will prepare for the Western Expedition.
Originally, Zhao Xin wanted to take Shen Xuan and A Miao with him, but he couldn't get away from the affairs on the island country, so he had to give up. Anyway, Liu Sheng would have to hold a banquet to bring the bride back.
More than twenty days later, Liu Sheng and his party finally arrived at the village on the banks of the Balk River.
At this time, Balk Village was as lively as a large gathering. Men, women, and children from various tribes for dozens of miles around came out in full force to entertain the newlyweds.
When they saw Liu Sheng wearing a fish skin suit, they all screamed in surprise.
"This groom is too tall!"
Hezhe people have an ancient custom of setting off river lanterns at night whenever they hold a happy event. In this ceremony to pray for God's blessing, they also select candidates who are qualified to accompany the groom and the bride during the wedding ceremony.
According to custom, the bride and groom put down the lanterns first, and then, regardless of gender, anyone who wants to take advantage of the fate of the bride and groom and seek peace and success in the future can put down a river lantern to enjoy the glory and happiness. If the river lanterns set off can catch up with the river lanterns of the bride and groom, they will become the most glorious bridesmaids.
This is the luck that everyone desires. Old people say that being the best friend can increase your life by ten years.
Fan Tong was also idle, so he followed the example of the Hezhe people. He first made a skeleton with wicker sticks, and then covered it with a layer of hemp paper. After that, he also put a layer of tanned fish skin on it and put it inside. Just put on the fish oil twister lamp.
The wide river bank was crowded with people of all ages, both adults and children holding river lanterns of different sizes and colors in their hands. When Wang Yuanfang saw the river lantern in Fan Tong's hand, he almost laughed.
This guy actually hit a big warship and came out, it was solid and hard. The men, women and children around looked at the big thing in Fan Tong's hand and they all wondered what this guy hit.
"Your lamp is too big!"
"What's wrong? You can't be so confused? I call this technological advantage." Fan pointed at the river lanterns in the hands of people around him and said proudly: "They are all no match for us."
Wu Xiha's father, Saharian, and his surname Zhang came to the river early. They stood in a wedding boat that had just been launched. In front of them stood Liu Sheng and Wu Xiha, carrying a two-dragon play-bead lantern. , which opened the eyes of the onlookers.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Xiha learned this from a Henan woman when she was in Beihai Town. It took her two months to learn how to make it vivid. Now this lamp It took her three days to build the river lantern.
The fish oil twist in the dragon lantern was lit, and the red fire reflected the horns, tails and lifelike claws of the two dragons, as if they were about to swim into the water if they let go. The rare and strange girls around were chattering.
They were discussing and praising Ushiha's craftsmanship, just like a group of noisy magpies.
Suddenly, Qiji's wife from Balke Village crowded over and shouted: "You little girls, stop chirping! Look at other people's dragon lanterns, just learn to tie one when you marry a man tomorrow. Today is serious.
You need to put up the river lanterns and get some good luck, otherwise, be careful about marrying Nomudi tomorrow!"
This has aroused public outrage. Are these little pepper-like tribal girls easy to mess with? Nomudi is a well-known swinger. Isn't Qiji's wife a waste of people?
As soon as someone shouted, the girls gathered around her, pulling her arms and legs, and insisted on throwing the fat woman into the river.
Fan Tong and Wang Yuanfang couldn't understand Manchu. When they saw a group of girls carrying a fat woman and about to throw it into the river, they couldn't help but look at each other and couldn't figure out what was going on. Wukambe, who came with them, looked at them haha.
laughing out loud.
Fan Tong quickly asked: "Old Wu, what are they doing?"
Wukambe smiled and said: "It's okay, the women are joking."
Just as they were talking, the crowd by the river suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers. When the girls who were playing heard the noise, they quickly let go and threw the fat woman onto the sand, and also quickly took it away.
He picked up his own river lantern and ran over.
Before the ceremony of setting the river lanterns began, they had to offer wine to the gods. Saharian and the shaman in the village dipped their fingers in the wine bowls and threw the wine into the sky and the Balk River, where the bright moon was reflected.
Wang Yuanfang pulled Wu Kambei beside him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Sacrifice to the gods and let the gods open the way for the river lanterns, and have a smooth journey!"
As everyone cheered in unison, Liu Sheng and Wu Xiha put the two dragons playing with beads lanterns into the Balk River. Immediately afterwards, people on the river bank rushed to follow the newcomers and put the lanterns in the direction. In an instant, the river surface was like a pot boiling, and everyone
Various river lanterns, colorful and colorful, move along with the river.
The most conspicuous of these river lanterns is Fan Tong's large warship lantern. There are actually three fish oil lamps burning on it, which are bright and bright. Riding Duchen, he knocks open one river lantern after another and follows the river westward.
, and soon approached the river lantern with two dragons playing with pearls.
"Wow! That's amazing!" A group of young men and women looked at Fan Tong and said to themselves that this river lantern built by Han people can actually run so fast!
"Here, this big brother, can you teach me how to make a river lantern like yours?"
Facing a group of chattering young men and women surrounding him, Fan Tong was extremely proud and smiled naively. Now that Wu Kambei was not around, he couldn't understand what they were saying at all.
Little lights flashed on the Balk River, like stars in the night sky descending on the earth.
The single drum and harmonica were played, the elderly people gathered around Saharian, and the shaman drank festive wine. Guests like Fan Tong and Wang Yuanfang, who had come from afar, were treated as honored guests and invited to Saharian.
Come and have a drink together.
On the smooth beach, under the bright moonlight, the young people danced the fish dance to the rhythm of Kongkanji, and the singing of "Imakan" soared and filled the night sky.
"Alala Hehenina, Alala Hehenina, the beloved 'Imakan' is sung to the most beautiful Jiamuta, and the most beautiful flowers are dedicated to the kind-hearted Jiamuta. Which star is the most beautiful in the sky?
Bright? Hada Etenkota. Ah Lei Lei Ah Lahenina, how can Hada Etenkota be as bright as the river lights? The cuckoos can't compare to the beautiful Jiamu Pagoda. How can a pair of love lamps be so beautiful? They are always bright.
The eternal light shines on the end of the world..."
Wu Xiha has never been so happy, and has never been so aware that she is going to be a wife. When she was a child, she had experienced many scenes of setting off lanterns in the river to worship gods, but at that time she was just joining in the fun to bless others. But today,
Everyone came to bless her.
She looked at the tall Liu Sheng accepting bowl after bowl of toasts from others, and her heart was filled with pride. When did she fall in love with this big man?
The first time I saw him fight that tiger? Or was it the chance encounter on the Wusuli River the next year, when I gave him his beloved laser gun? Or was it the first time Liu Sheng doted on him and let him sit on his shoulder to watch?
lively?
Every moment of their relationship over the past two years has flooded through her heart, and Ushiha is now filled with happiness and joy.
Needless to say, Liu Sheng had decided to stay in this time and space and spend the rest of his life with this girl who was hanging around him like a little tail all day long. Those past events had already disappeared with the experience of the past few years, and he looked at them with a smile.
Looking at Wu Xiha, I thought that this girl would be my wife tomorrow. Things in the world are changing and it is really unpredictable.
On the other side, the old shaman from Balke Village saw Fan Tongyi holding a bowl of wine with his head up. He smiled and advised: "Young man, the crickets have a strong stamina after drinking. Be careful not to get up tomorrow."
After listening to Wukambe's translation, Fan Tong just giggled. This amount of wine was really nothing to him. When he was at the power plant, Fan Tong was nicknamed "Fan Yitong", which meant he had a barrel of wine.
The old shaman asked someone to fill up the wine, and then asked: "Young man, where is your home?"
Fan Tong thought for a moment and said, "Old man, my home is far away from here. It's on the bank of the Yangtze River."
"I know the Yangtze River. I heard someone say it when I was young." The old shaman twirled his beard and said, "The Yangtze River is a white dragon, the Yellow River is a yellow dragon, and the Heilongjiang River is a black dragon. These three dragons are three brothers."
Fan Tong and Wang Yuanfang listened to Wu Kambei's translation and laughed in unison: "What the old man said is good! Let's do another bowl for this!"
Just as the joyful "Imakan" brings the people along the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers into a festive and joyful moment, and just as the starry river lanterns flow along the Balk River to the Ussuri River, far in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, the Cossacks
The legion's muskets and sabers have been polished to a crisp, and hundreds of river sailing ships are ready to go.

After vigorously suppressing the rhubarb smuggling trade, they made the final determination to attack the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins of the Qing Dynasty and completely turn them into the territory of Tsarist Russia.
Suvorov, the corps commander appointed by the Queen, arrived in Irkutsk at the end of January. This veteran and renowned Tsarist Russian general spent two months carefully inspecting the route from Irkutsk to
Based on the combat readiness of various places along the Yaksa route, a combat order was finally issued in mid-March: the time to launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty was set at the end of March, that is, after Heilongjiang thawed.
As for Zhao Xin, who was in Beihai, after seeing off another group of miners heading south to Kyushu, two unexpected visitors suddenly alerted him, causing him to suddenly turn his attention from Mongolia in the west to his neighbor in the north.
This triggered a series of incidents, which caused the Northern Navy's strategy against the Manchus to change again and again!
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, on behalf of His Majesty the Queen and His Excellency Governor Ivan Jacobi, I would like to express my sincere respect to you!"
"Is it you?"
In Zhao Xin's office in Beihai Town, Serdan, who was ordered to rush back from Fuldan City, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw two familiar faces in front of him.
Isn't this the Emorgen and Bartelsang whom he met in Deleng last year? He immediately thought of another one, the co-leader Acton.
The two guys wearing badger fur coats and mink hats saw Serdan as soon as they entered the door, but at first they were mainly chatting with Ukanbe and did not pay attention to Serdan who was pretending to sleep beside him.
Two Saurons, no, two Tsarist and Russian Tungusians bowed respectfully to Zhao Xin, then took out the letter from their arms and handed it to Chen Jishan.
These two people came over the mountains from the direction of Vladivostok, almost taking the same route as the clear monk. When they were stopped by the guard at the outpost, the guy named Aimorgen took out a letter
, claimed that they were from a neighboring country in the north and requested to meet Zhao Xin. After the North Korean Navy searched and questioned the two men, it was finally determined that the two were envoys sent by Tsarist Russia.
Zhao Xin did not say anything after learning about it. He was very curious, how could Tsarist Russia find him? What did they want to do?
Could it be a matter between Bitterleaf Island and Okhotsk? The other party came to ask for prisoners and sailing ships?
After some consideration, he decided to meet these two people to see what medicine they were selling in their gourds.
