On impulse
It’s really not easy to find a piece of flat mud on the bank of the river valley. There are sands and rocks everywhere, even a whole block of tens of meters in diameter, but it is more difficult to find pure yellow land. Zhang Feng and Chen Huishan have brought them. The tent, however, cannot rest on the beach or on the big rocks. In that case, it must be frozen at night.
After climbing the slope to one side along the river bank for about fifty or sixty meters, Zhang Feng finally found a suitable place to support a tent on the edge of a forest of mixed trees. He used a portable folding shovel to trim it a bit and figured it out. A piece of flat land about seven or eight square meters, then Zhang Feng took advantage of the sky to be dark, so he directly collected materials from the base in the miscellaneous tree forest and cut a lot of branches back.
In winter, most of the branches are dry, and you don’t even need to chop them with a scimitar. In half an hour, Zhang Feng has assembled a large pile of firewood, including two thick wooden stakes. Obviously It is a tree that has been dead and dried.
At this moment, Chen Huishan also opened the package that the two of them had brought, and then spread a piece of canvas to lay out all the food, basically some ready-made cooked food, as well as canned food, ham sausage, etc. Of course, the most indispensable is Liquor, it's winter. Both of them liked this bite again, and it was very useful to bring white wine.
Clean up the surrounding dead branches and leaves, then set up a bonfire and use a simple stand to hang up the kettle to boil boiling water. The two of them sat on the edge of the fire and made a fire. They had climbed the mountain for so long, and both of them already had something on their bodies. She was sweating slightly, but Chen Huishan sat here to rest for a while, and the mountain breeze blew again. At this time, her body was already cold, and she was more comfortable by leaning on the fire.
After pouring two glasses of wine, Chen Huishan and Zhang Feng touched lightly, and then slowly drank the whole cup of soju, with a wisp of cool ** flowing into the throat, as if a fire suddenly ignited in her stomach. With a hint of warmth on her body, she gently shook her head and stroked the hair on her forehead behind her ears. Chen Huishan said, "Why don't you set up the tent first?"
Zhang Feng said: "The tent is mainly for sheltering from the wind and cold, but it cannot change the cold and dampness of the ground, so it won't be too late to set up the tent later, learn more, and you will be able to suffer less if you go out alone in the future."
Chen Huishan glanced at Zhang Feng with her eyes, and then turned away from the topic, saying, "I will go out with me these two days. It won't delay you anything, right? You are in a mixed system, and you are very busy during the New Year. If you want to treat and give gifts, don’t delay you."
Zhang Feng chuckled lightly and said, "Have you ever seen me give gifts to others? Besides, I am a small sesame mung bean deputy secretary, who gave me gifts, they did, and we don’t lack that stuff. You said, based on the prospects of our pharmaceutical company, is it necessary to throw away our principles for a little profit?"
Chen Huishan tilted her head and glanced at Zhang Feng, and said, "You are biased by what you said. Doesn't that mean that if there is no pharmaceutical factory, you will be a corrupt official?"
Zhang Feng pondered for a while and said: "It's really hard to say. If you don't even care about the most basic food and clothing, I believe no one will have the mind to do things for the people. If you pay, you should be rewarded, and the income should be. It is equal to the status and status. If the governor is doing the work of the governor and holding the salary of the migrant worker, the governor will definitely not do well. He needs the treatment corresponding to his status and status, which cannot be obtained through normal channels. Other resources to redeem."
Chen Huishan shook her head, obviously disagreeing with Zhang Feng's point of view: "Human nature is greedy, and desire is hard to fill. There is a saying that is very image, and people are not enough. As long as there is a chance, anyone will fight for more power and treatment. Or other things that you think are worth fighting for, in short, fame and fortune."
Zhang Feng said: "So, you and I are no exception? Then you say, are you pursuing fame or fortune?"
Chen Huishan pondered for a while before she said: "Fame and wealth do not seem to be the most important thing to me. I think that money can be spent as long as it is spent. But more fame is for the benefit of serving and chasing fame. Isn't it for profit in the end? Of course, there are some people who put names more importantly, and they do not deny that some people put names more important than fate."
After a pause, Chen Huishan continued: "What I pursue should be something between fame and fortune, more like a kind of life, or an attitude, I only hope that I can live and make myself comfortable. Life, do what you like every day."
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "This is probably a kind of fame and fortune, but this kind of desire is not easy to achieve."
Chen Huishan smiled bitterly: "Yes, people live, it is impossible to live only for themselves, always take into account the feelings of the people around them."
Zhang Feng took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette, lit the fire, and then consciously raised the fire a little bit larger, saying: "After the fire is removed, the ground will almost burn. It’s hard to burn. Although it’s not as good as the fire kang in the countryside, it’s better than the wet and cold ground. It’s guaranteed to get a good night's sleep."
Chen Huishan took out the stainless steel lunch box from the bag, rinsed a few packs of fast food noodles with boiling water, and handed Zhang Feng a lunch box, saying: "I use this cushion to cushion my stomach, so my body won't be cold anymore," and then he caught it. Zhang Feng's topic: "You seem to be familiar with camping in the mountains. Did you often camp before?"
Zhang Feng said: "Well, before I joined the army, I actually came to these places often. Although there was no camping in the mountains during the cold winter and twelfth lunar month like today, it was commonplace in the late autumn. Sometimes I was blocked by the rain and mountain torrents. It’s normal in the wild, and slowly learn how to live in the wild more comfortably.
Chen Huishan said: "Have you ever been a soldier?"
Zhang Feng said with an "Um" and said: "The army that went to the military academy at university, the total number of years before and after the school is more than five years, and only returned from the army more than two years ago, and then he was in the Zhou'an county government. So I haven’t been to this place in the past few years. I used to collect medicines, but now I can’t buy anything on the market? There are fewer and fewer opportunities to collect medicines by myself.”
Chen Huishan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the mindset of being an official is getting more and more serious, and she doesn't have much interest in medical skills."
Zhang Feng said: "Then you are wronging me, isn't it my credit for our cleanliness?"
Chen Huishan rinsed the used lunch box with hot water, and then brought the cooked food that had been cut up and prepared to drink with Zhang Feng. However, Zhang Feng waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, make the fire a little bigger. Put all the branches on, and I will cut some more wormwood."
The wormwood in winter is basically dry, and there is no weight in the hand. This slope is almost full of wormwood, so it is very easy to collect. Zhang Feng felt the dark and used the fire to collect it. Yu Guang, it took another twenty minutes to collect a large pile of wormwood, and then, together with Chen Huishan, moved the fire to the end of the nearby river valley.
After the ground was cleared, it became dry, hard and hot. Zhang Feng quickly set up the tent on this ground, then spread the collected dried wormwood on the ground, and then covered it with a thick canvas. Only after opening the bedding luggage, it was actually two sleeping bags and two thick blankets. The fire was just outside the door of the tent.
Zhang Feng asked Chen Huishan to bring the prepared cooked food. The two sat on the floor, eating and drinking, and a layer of warmth came through the bottom of the buttocks without much effort. It was really comfortable. Seeing Zhang Feng put the shotgun At the convenience, Chen Huishan couldn't help but asked a little curiously: "Is there any danger at night?"
Shaking his head, Zhang Feng said: "It's okay, just in case, in this cold weather, except for wolves, there won't be anything close at night except wolves. They are wolves, and now they are so few and pitiful, they are all mountain people. It’s not always possible to meet them, most people don’t even have the chance to see wolves in their lifetime.
Chen Huishan said, "Are there wolves in this Nanshan?"
Zhang Feng said, "Not only are there wolves, but there are also tigers and leopards. It's just that we rarely see them in the shallow mountains. Our family also collects a few catties of tiger bones, which is the leopard that was killed in Dongyu River. I didn’t think that at that time, but now they are all precious treasures.” Thinking of this, Zhang Feng felt a little distressed. If he didn’t dispense the medicine himself, he would pack up a few treasured medicinal materials in advance. He was ruined by his father, together with the medicine shop.
Although Chen Huishan is a PhD in pharmacology, her knowledge of Chinese medicine is not as good as Zhang Feng's. She asked strangely: "A tiger bone is a tiger bone. How could it be left by a leopard?"
Zhang Feng laughed and said, "Where are there so many tiger bones in the world that are easy to use? The tiger bones that are made for you in the drugstore are probably full of dog bones. Leopard bones are actually top-grade tiger bones. The so-called tiger bones are not necessarily tiger bones. Otherwise, the tigers in the world are afraid that they would have long since become extinct."
"Dog bones? Don't you say it is so permeating, OK?" Chen Huishan actually got goose bumps on her body.
"It's okay. It's normal." Zhang Feng shook his head slightly. There are many proprietary names in Chinese medicine. Outsiders heard it inexplicably, they are actually very common and common things, but changing the name makes you feel amazing. This is related to the naming principle of herbal medicines. In the naming of Chinese herbal medicines, many names are based on medicinal effects or uses, not entirely on appearance.
"What do you do at home?" Zhang Feng turned the topic and suddenly asked about Chen Huishan's family. The jump in this sentence was a bit too big. Chen Huishan was taken aback for a moment before reacting, but already subconsciously replied: "Home What does it have to do with me? I have broken with them."
"Broken?" Chen Huishan's reaction still exceeded Zhang Feng's expectations. Although she was not very happy, it was obviously not the look he had imagined. Her heart became more and more strange. She didn't know what happened to Chen Huishan afterwards. There was such a big prejudice in the family that he didn't even mention it. He still thought that something unfortunate had happened.
Chen Huishan might have drunk a few glasses of wine, and the chattering box was opened. There was nothing to hide from Zhang Feng. In fact, from the beginning, he never thought of deliberately concealing himself: "Well, bye, run away from me. From the moment I came out, I stopped treating the Chen family as my home, and I won’t have anything to do with them in the future."
Zhang Feng said: "Tell me, what is going on, it makes you so resentful."
Chen Huishan poured a large cup of shochu into her throat, and a blush appeared on her face like Baiyu. She looked at the more moving heart and soul under the firelight, and took a long sigh and said: "They took me I was locked up at home and not allowed to go out, and all my belongings were hidden. I couldn't even make a phone call. I got a bunch of people around me every day to persuade me to get engaged and get married. I was going crazy!"
Zhang Feng was startled when he heard this. This kind of thing is really incredible for someone with a personality like Chen Huishan. Although he is a very traditional Chinese in his bones, after all he grew up in the United States and was affected by subtle influences. It was the mother's indoctrination, and I guess I would never consider myself a Chinese.
Adhering to the bottom line of morality in my heart is not about accepting it. Chen Huishan's return to China is more about the relationship between her father and her daughter, and she has no other demands. On the contrary, the family has a heart to use her, and it is estimated that there is a sense of superiority. Right? Chen Huishan needed to feel comfortable in her heart before she saw a ghost. In order to get her to marry the family, she even used this method, fearing that the only little affection in her heart would have been wiped out.
Zhang Feng's understanding of Chen Huishan, apart from the memory of his previous life, was learned from chatting all night on the lawn of the pharmaceutical factory that night. Out of his understanding of Chen Huishan's character, he felt that this approach, similar to house arrest, was absolutely It was something Chen Huishan could not bear. Maybe people didn't have this thought in mind, but Chen Huishan had to leave without saying goodbye when she realized that her freedom might be threatened, and she still sneaked away. , It is not impossible.
Zhang Feng has never been in contact with things in the big family, but there are only things you can't think of in this world. There are no things that don't exist. He will not have the slightest doubt about Chen Huishan's IQ, since Chen Huishan can be put under house arrest. He made his judgment and escaped penniless. Even if he comprehend the mistake, he would not be too far behind.
Zhang Feng said: "Then when you escaped, why didn't you even bring a penny with you?"
Chen Huishan said: "Except for the clothes on my body, I can't find everything else. Where did the money come from? Oh, I climbed the window from the third floor and slipped down the drain. It’s a blessing that I didn’t fall to death. It took a few hours to walk to the railway station. The only luck was that the train from the platform did not check the ticket during the Spring Festival, and I sat all the way to Xinyang."
Zhang Feng said, "Did you eat or drink all the way?"
Chen Huishan said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense, you don't even have a penny, what to eat and drink? Although there are a lot of people on the train and the air is not good, there is one advantage. It is not very cold, otherwise I will not insist. Those who came to Xinyang had to be frozen, so that I took a few tablets each when I came back."
Zhang Feng smiled bitterly, recalling the situation where the office doors and windows were wide open and Chen Huishan squatted at the door with her arms in her arms. She suddenly understood that most of it was smoked by the smell of the train, and thought, thanks to this girl for a year. Four Seasons insists on taking a cold bath every day, and I am afraid that she can't bear it for another person, but two nights a day without eating, drinking or sleeping is enough for her.
Chen Huishan poured herself another glass of wine and flicked it twice. When she found that the bottle was empty, she stuffed the empty bottle into her bag and took out another bottle of wine. These were old packages that Zhang Feng cheated from Tang Zhenjun. High Moutai is said to be very rare, but Chen Huishan recently became addicted to it. "Do you know who they are looking for? Humph, the son of Beiyuan Provincial Party Committee Deputy Secretary Tan."
Zhang Feng was unexpectedly moved when he heard this. He knew very little about the members of the provincial party committee. After visiting Sun Yan, he slowly left his mind. The deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, Tan Zhenjiang, came from the public security system. He came out, in charge of political and legal work, and now concurrently serves as the secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, and has considerable contacts in Beiyuan Province.
And because of his origin in the public security system, he has an inextricable relationship with the Zhou family. From Chen Huishan’s voice, it’s not difficult to tell that the Tan family is not an ordinary big family in Beijing. By analogy, you can find this with Chen Huishan. Gateway, what kind of family background does the Chen family look like in Beiyuan? Zhang Feng had a faint guess in his heart and hesitated: "Secretary Chen Jingyuan of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, it's you..." Chen Huishan nodded and said, "Well, that's my dad. I heard them talk about you."
Zhang Feng wiped his forehead, and said to his heart what is going on. Chen Huishan, a dare lover, had known him a long time ago.
Chen Huishan glanced at Zhang Feng with slanted eyes, and smiled lightly: "Are you a little scared?"
Zhang Feng insisted: "What is there to be afraid of? Isn't it the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? I don't steal, snatch, pay or accept bribes. I don't violate the law or discipline. Maybe I haven't had the opportunity to deal with them in my entire life. Afraid."
Chen Huishan chuckled and said, "With your teacher as the backer, in Beiyuan Province, no one dares to embarrass you."
Zhang Feng was a little stunned when he heard this, and he was secretly surprised. Does Chen Huishan actually know the identity of Yu Mei? "
Chen Huishan shook the wine glass, leaned her lips together, and said with a drink, "Actually, I knew Yu Mei when I was very young. It's just that it's too long. I'm afraid she doesn't remember me anymore. After all, I knew Yu Mei. When I left China, I was just over four years old, and she was only eight years old. She was in elementary school, right? If my mother is still there, Yu Mei must recognize me, yes, my mother has left me."
Zhang Feng's mouth twitched. Following this trajectory, in the memory of that lifetime, Chen Huishan and Yu Mei have always maintained an excellent relationship. Maybe it is also because of this reason? Moreover, in retrospect, the reason why Chen Huishan came with herself should also have a great relationship with Yu Mei.
At this time, he couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf and be stupid, and Zhang Feng showed a slightly surprised look: "Is Teacher Yu's house very good?"
Chen Huishan gave an "um", she didn't doubt Zhang Feng pretending to be fake, and said, "Don't you know at all?"
Zhang Feng said, "I know that Yuan Hongbing is the eldest grandson of the Yang family, and the provincial party committee secretary Yang is the second uncle of Yuan Hongbing, but I don’t know the situation of teacher Yu’s family. What you said is not that Secretary Yang of the provincial party committee will give us medicine. Is the factory backing up?"
This time it was Chen Huishan’s turn to be stunned: "Director Yuan is from the Yang family?" She knew that Yu Mei’s husband was Yuan Hongbing, the director of the Provincial Transportation Department. Such a young main office level is indeed not something ordinary people can sit on. However, he never thought that Yuan Hongbing was actually a member of the Yang family, and he was also the nephew of Yang Bokang, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.
Although Chen Huishan was born in officials like the Chen family, she grew up overseas in the end, and her time with Chen Jingyuan was even more limited. Her mind was also quite repulsive to people and things in officialdom, and she occasionally heard a few words. I didn't care too much. It was very accidental to know Zhang Feng, and to understand Yu Mei because of other sources, he naturally didn't have much impression of Yuan Hongbing.
Zhang Feng nodded affirmatively: "Yuan Hongbing follows his mother's surname. I don't know why it is."
Chen Huishan's expression was a little sad, presumably she could guess some inside stories, and after a sigh of relief, Chen Huishan answered: "Yu Mei's father used to be the secretary of the Beiyuan Provincial Party Committee, and their family... In fact, there are only a few generations left. The next lone seedling is now the head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee. Do you think this kind of backing is hard enough?"
Although Zhang Feng had known it for a long time, he was appropriately surprised. However, the little information about home that Chen Huishan revealed made Zhang Feng really a little surprised. There is only one seedling left in Yu's home? He had never known this information before, and even in the memory of that life, it seemed that there had never been such information.
Nodded lightly, and said: "It's hard enough! Plus it's in Beiyuan Province again, you can basically sit back and relax!"
Chen Huishan smiled and said: "So I said, it is difficult for our pharmaceutical factory to make money, alas, it's a pity that our family..."
When Zhang Feng saw Chen Huishan’s words, his expression quickly fell, and he quickly persuaded, “Don’t pay too much attention to this matter. From my point of view, Secretary Chen may not have such thoughts. As Secretary Chen, You don’t have to marry the Tan family."
Chen Huishan waved her hand swayingly: "You don't understand this, the Tan family, the Tan family, alas, actually, I don't understand it either!"
Seeing this, Zhang Feng knew that Chen Huishan was drunk again. Drinking so much alcohol in a stale mood would be extremely harmful to the body. Zhang Feng sighed, took out a small ceramic bottle from the small medicine pouch he carried, and poured it out. A wax pill was peeled and fed to Chen Huishan, then she put away the wine bottle and everything, and said, "You lie down and rest for a while."
Chen Huishan took advantage of the situation and grabbed Zhang Feng's neck and said, "Dare you talk to me about your partner?"
Smelling Chen Huishan's body scent mixed with the smell of wine, and then hearing this soft and greasy sentence, Zhang Feng felt that he had the urge to transform into a werewolf.
