Chapter 37: Go to Xiangjiang for a monthly pass)(1/2)
Badaling has been renovated many times in 1980, but there are not many tourists.
The main reason is that transportation is not convenient and everyone is not financially well-off.
After leaving the train station, you will soon see a large castle with majestic momentum and solid architecture. This is the outpost headquarters of Juyongguan City - Chadao City, known as the "Key to the North Gate".
Then, I saw nothing else here. There were no maps or signs about tourism. There were just various promotional slogans:
"There has never been a savior, nor did we rely on gods and emperors. To create human happiness, it all depends on ourselves."
What about the 5A-level scenic spots we talked about?
Badaling has been an important military strategic location since ancient times. It is a mountain pass of the Jundu Mountain with many peaks.
People in the Ming Dynasty said: "The road divides from here and extends in all directions, so it is called Badaling. It is the highest in Guanshan Mountain."
In fact, this section of the Great Wall was not built by Lao Zhu, nor by Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, but by Emperor Hongzhi, who continued to build it even during the Wanli period, and did not give up treatment until the Chongzhen period.
After the Qing troops entered the Pass, the Great Wall's role was no longer evident, and then it began to gradually fall into disrepair.
Before liberation, the Great Wall was completely dilapidated.
Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lao Guo made a suggestion to the country in 1952: "Repair the Great Wall and open it to tourists."
This is a good suggestion. This suggestion is much more reliable than the discovery of Zhu Di's Changling Tomb. The most pitiful thing is Wanli, who blocked the knife for his grandfather.
Of course, compared to the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum, the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum suffered the worst fate. Six of the 12 mausoleums were stolen. For example, Emperor Qianlong's head was missing, and Emperor Kangxi is still soaked in sewage.
Badaling is really majestic, but there are not many areas that have been repaired and can be opened to the public. There are only four floors in the north and south. As for the eighth floor in the north, which has the highest altitude, it is not open yet.
In later generations, this was the watchtower with the highest altitude and the best place to overlook the Great Wall, also known as the Sun Viewing Platform.
The best place to watch the sunrise while wearing a military coat is here.
After returning from Badaling, it’s time to set off for Xiangjiang.
Shen Guanglin said goodbye to his younger sister Li Rong and younger sister Li Li, Su Youpeng said goodbye to his girlfriend Chai Jing, my mother and sister Su Yue, and Zhang Erleng said goodbye to Shunzi.
Don’t supporting characters deserve detailed introductions to their family situations?
They spent several days in the capital to prepare all kinds of materials, and then Shen Guanglin took Su Youpeng and Erleng on the southbound train.
Everyone is carrying a big bag. Shen Guanglin’s bag is full of various foods. Most of them are various beef products processed by his sister Li Rong. They taste good and taste like Mongolian dried beef, but a bit spicy.
, need to drink more water.
Su Youpeng's bag contained a large stack of pancakes.
Traditional Ludong pancakes.
It is not the kind of pancake fruit that became popular all over the country in later generations, with eggs, lettuce, crispy ham and bacon inside, but a genuine traditional whole grain pancake.
This pancake is so strong that it cannot be torn open. If you eat too much since you were a child and your bite force is too strong, your face will become square.
Erleng's bag was filled with money, which was their living expenses and payment for goods.
Er Leng is actually not stupid, at least not stupid, he just looks a bit fierce and a bit bold.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He did not grow taller due to the intense stretching, but he developed muscles laterally. He needs to be explosive and impactful. He ranks second in the family, so he is called Erlang.
Practicing martial arts, like practicing gymnastics, is a kind of exercise that prevents people from growing taller.
The three of us are no longer just fledglings, but this time we went to the international metropolis of Xiangjiang, which made us a little excited.
What would a capitalist world look like?
In Erleng's words, I heard that the women there don't even wear clothes and run around the streets with their buttocks naked every day.
vulgar!
They asked Teacher Shen this question, and Teacher Shen laughed and said nothing.
The three of them took a sleeper class this time, but it was a hard sleeper. They were on the four o'clock train.
Of course, I entrusted the young lady to find connections to buy the tickets.
The three of them happened to occupy one side of the berth, and the three on the other side looked like they were on a business trip and looked like officials.
Mao suit, reading pen, and black-rimmed glasses, this kind of look is too common.
One of the two groups is middle-aged and elderly, and the other is young. They have no common language, so there is no need to communicate more.
The two groups ignored each other, and the carriage became quiet.
Although the train they took was a green train, it was also a Z-shaped high-speed train, with a speed of up to 80 per hour.
It is more than 2,300 kilometers from Beijing to Yangcheng, and it takes almost two days on the road.
The train just clanked along the railway line. The three of them had lunch before boarding the train, so they didn't feel hungry. They took out a deck of playing cards and played a game of landlords to kill time.
Soon, it will be late at night and the train will turn off its lights.
As the leader, Shen Guanglin naturally slept in the lower bunk. He asked Erling, who had the money, to go to the upper bunk, while Su Youpeng slept in the middle bunk.
The train enters and leaves the station, enters and leaves the city.
The flickering lights reflect people's faces and their hearts.
Shen Guanglin has never taken a train many times since he was a child, especially this kind of green train.
From birth to now, this is probably the third time.
The first time was when he was escorted from Jinling to the capital by a young lady; the second time was when he accompanied the two sisters to climb Badaling a few days ago; this time taking the train from the capital to Xiangjiang was the third journey in his life.
In the middle of the night, while I was half asleep, all the middle-aged and elderly cadres opposite seemed to get off the bus, and it seemed like new people were coming up.
Nowadays, you need a work permit and a letter of introduction to take a sleeper berth, and the people who can get on it are extraordinary.
Shen Guanglin didn't care who the other person was, he just felt that the other person seemed to have laid down and then sat up again.
"Brother, brother, can you get up for a moment?"
The person who spoke was a girl, and she was telling Shen Guanglin to get up.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Guanglin finally fell asleep, but was woken up by someone.
Through the night light in the corridor, I can see the general situation clearly. This is a young girl, and it is she who is calling me.
Did he occupy her position?
It's impossible.
I checked the tickets before I got on the train. Besides, the tickets were exchanged by the conductor. If I made a mistake, they would surely remind me.
"Brother, the bed here is also the lower bunk, but this bed smells like cigarette smoke. I really can't get used to the smell. Can we change seats?"
Be sick!
I slept well, you woke me up just to change positions?
"The middle and upper bunks opposite are all empty, why don't you sleep there?" Shen Guanglin also suppressed his anger.
"My ticket is for the lower berth. If I sleep on the middle berth, wouldn't I lose money?" The girl was also full of truth.
"Then come here. We can sleep together. If I don't leave, I'm afraid of smelling the smoke." Shen Guanglin had no intention of giving up his seat.
"rogue!"
Then,
The girl called the police.
Shen Guanglin was stunned. He looked at his watch. It was already past 2 o'clock at night. What are you fussing over?
"Comrade conductor, he is acting like a hooligan!" The girl actually pulled the conductor over.
"Tell me what's going on." Those who can sit on the sleeper berth are all "powerful" people. They must be handled well and it is best to avoid doing things that offend others.
The train conductor thought that Shen Guanglin climbed into the girl's bed in the middle of the night. When he came over, he saw that was not true. The girl had just exchanged a ticket and her seat was vacant.
After boarding the sleeper berth, you need to exchange your ticket. For those who are afraid of sleeping, the conductor will provide a wake-up service one stop in advance.
"How did I know what was going on? I was in a daze, and she wanted to get into my bed, and then she said I was being a hooligan." Shen Guanglin stated the "facts."
Su Youpeng and Erleng also woke up at this time. Teacher Shen is really not a human being, guarding such beautiful sisters as Li Rong and Li Li and still messing around with each other outside.
"Who said I was going to sleep in his bed? I told him I wanted to sleep here, but he refused to get out of the way and still wanted to sleep with me. He must be a gangster! Do you know who my father is? Let me tell you... "The girl threw out a set of Li Gang's theories.
"Girl, there is something wrong with you. I am not your father, so why should I spoil you?"
"You!" The girl was furious and wanted to hit someone.
"Don't think I don't know how to hit women. I've seen many Mary Sues like you. When your teeth fall out, don't blame me for not being gentle enough."
"Comrade, comrade, if you have something to say, let's talk to you. What's going on with you?" the train conductor stopped Quan Wuxing.
"Comrade police, how do I know what's going on? In the middle of the night, I was sleeping soundly in my own place. She asked me to get up and told her to sleep with her. I said if you want to sleep, just come up, and that's it. ."
"Is that so?"
"Well, yes, yes, we will testify." Xiao Su and Er Leng nodded together.
"No, my bed stinks. Why do you want to change places with him?" the girl said confidently.
