Chapter 228 Changbai Mountain is not too far away
The woman's words stunned the three men in the room.
Jiang He was also stunned.
It's only been 81 years, and there's already this kind of business?
There are definitely no ladies in the bathhouse.
For a moment, no one said a word, and everyone stared at the woman who came in.
The woman looked to be under thirty years old, with a good figure and simple clothes.
I have to say, in this era, people wearing these gray clothes and handmade cloth shoes really look like they belong to a good family at first glance.
Although she doesn't have heavy makeup, a short skirt that can't cover her butt, or long white legs, she is more seductive than that.
The three men stared at each other, making the woman a little nervous. Then she smiled and said, "You're away from home, thousands of miles away, and the money was won playing cards. You don't have to worry about not being able to report it when you get home. What's there to be embarrassed about? Just be straightforward."
Jiang He couldn't help but let out a cold breath.
What she said made so much sense that I couldn't refuse it.
Then she saw that the three people hadn't said anything yet, but there was already light in their eyes. She stamped her feet slightly and said, "You, you have to pay more!"
Seeing that no one had moved, the woman looked at the several hundred yuan on the table and felt reluctant to leave. Finally, she couldn't hold back her tears and said, "I know you look down on me, but who would be willing to do this if they had any other choice?"
The woman was crying. Her elderly family member was bedridden, her husband had broken his back, and her child was still young...
I've heard this a lot in my previous life. Who doesn't have a gambling father, a sick mother, a brother who goes to school, and a broken heart?
But in this day and age, if someone still does this secretly, then there is an 80% chance that it is the truth.
What Jiang He and the others are troubled about now is not whether they look down on others or not.
But on the other side of the plywood next door, there were Shen Wanqing and Chunyu.
Chunyu doesn’t matter, she is more manly, the key is that there is Shen Wanqing.
Jiang He coughed lightly and stood up: "I'm going to that room and chat with them!"
Jiang He walked out as he spoke, and Cheng Feiyu also wanted to get up, but his butt felt a little heavy.
Liu Er also wanted to wake up, but was stopped by Cheng Feiyu, and whispered: "I fell asleep, I don't know anything!
You and Jiang He are good brothers, help me cover it up!"
Cheng Feiyu, a second-generation rich man, has never eaten good pork, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
This woman is definitely not as pretty and has a good figure as Shen Wanqing.
But she comes fresh.
These days, you don't have to worry about getting sick.
Because our country has completely eradicated this infectious disease with its great organizational capabilities, any subsequent resurgence was probably caused by transmission from abroad.
Including AIDS, which was brought in from abroad in the late 1980s. The first case appeared in Beijing and then spread at an alarming rate.
As soon as Jiang He entered the house, Chunyu was lying on the edge of the kang, covered with a quilt and snoring loudly.
Shen Wanqing listened to the noises of the woman next door and couldn't help but snorted: "I knew Cheng Feiyu was not a good person."
Jiang He thought, isn't it a bit shameless of you to blame Cheng Feiyu?
But men are all brothers, and they have to be supported.
Jiang He said: "Cheng Feiyu fell asleep, listen, he is snoring!"
After listening carefully, I indeed heard the sound of Cheng Feiyu snoring in his sleep.
Shen Wanqing always felt that something was wrong, but Jiang He had already hugged her and said while chewing her: "Be quiet, don't wake up Lao Cheng, if he catches us..."
"Just arrest him, I have nothing to do with him!"
"That wouldn't look good on my face!"
For this kind of thing, men can make up any lies and make any ridiculous promises.
When Jiang He returned to the room, the woman had already left and all the money on the table was gone.
Jiang He was stunned: "Fuck, hundreds of dollars, you gave it all to them?"
Liu Er said, "It's not easy for them either."
Jiang He was so angry that he cursed, "You guys are so fucking generous! A few hundred yuan these days is almost a year's salary for an ordinary worker. In the future, it would be equivalent to hiring a lady for tens of thousands of yuan."
Once you spend this money, not everything will work.
I stayed there for one night and wanted to go directly to Changbai Mountain from Chuncheng the next day.
If you want to go to the Changbai Mountain area, Tonghua area is a must-go place, but after asking around, Jiang He was completely dumbfounded.
Transportation is not very developed now. If you want to go to Tonghua, the straight-line distance is only 300 kilometers.
But if you take a train from Spring City, you either have to go around Shenyang or Yanbian, neither of which is close, not as close as going from Daxinganling to Spring City.
And when we arrived in Tonghua, we had to take a bus, which was a shaky journey for two days. When we got off the bus in a town, our legs were weak.
In the towns on the Changbai Mountain side, commercial activities are more developed, especially the various mountain specialties, which have formed a market and are no longer limited to supply and marketing cooperatives.
Generally speaking, life in the mountains on the Changbai Mountain side is actually better than that in the Greater Khingan Range.
If compared with the outside, it is a level higher.
It’s just that these days, everyone is poor, just in different ways.
If you really want to be stubborn, let alone in the 80s, even in the 90s, there were still places where people couldn't afford clothes or shoes.
It was not until 10 years later that the lives of the elderly, children, and poor people in remote areas really improved.
Looking back at 10 years from now, it is only 80 years, but it is so far away that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Even in 15, in the southern mountainous areas and along the national highways, you could still see some cement walls with signs asking for support, 2000 yuan per month.
I don’t know if they are really asking for this or if they are scammers. I have never made that call, so I just want to briefly talk about this phenomenon.
"Rivers, rivers, has the Dajiang arrived? Has the Daxing of the Greater Khingan Range arrived?"
At the bus station, a man stood on a horse-drawn carriage, holding a whip and shouting towards where the bus stopped.
"Here I come, here I come, I am Jiang He!"
Rivers stand out from the crowd.
The man jumped off the carriage and came over, punching Jiang He as soon as he got up: "You're finally here, kid! I've been waiting for you for two days!"
This man is Lao Jin’s son Da Jin. I met him when I was hunting wild boars at the Forestry Bureau and we got along very well.
Even if we have only met a few times and had a drink together twice, when we meet again thousands of miles apart, we feel especially warm.
Da Jin warmly invited everyone to get on the carriage, and we still have to drive for a while.
At the crack of the whip, the chestnut horse broke into a trot.
There was an egg-shaped copper bell hanging on the horse's bridle, which made a clanging sound when the horse ran.
On both sides of the road, which is not easy to walk on, are the steep Changbai Mountains.
They are both mountains in the Northeast, so I am not unfamiliar with them.
But from time to time, you can still see cement watchtowers and other things on the mountainside, which were left behind by the Japanese devils.
The Tonghua area at that time was the largest region in Northeast China. Because it controlled the important area of North Korea, its status was even far above the three major provincial capitals and Jinzhou in Northeast China.
The Japanese invaders plundered a lot of forest and mineral resources here, built a lot of artillery towers, and many heroic figures of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression emerged.
Unfortunately, the enemies they faced were too powerful and they were isolated and helpless, so they all became heroes.
While admiring the beautiful scenery of Changbai Mountain, Jiang He asked, "Brother Jin, why did you send a telegram from so far away? What's the matter? What did you find in the mountains?"
Da Jin looked at Jiang He deeply and said with a smile: "Let's talk about this matter after we meet my father. It's hard for me to explain."
Jiang He narrowed his eyes.
This is no small matter.
