Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1621, worthwhile trip

The train that Mr. Wang and Mr. Li took traveled westward. Taking the train, the two of them saw the high loess slopes in Shaanxi and saw the desolation of the Gobi in Gansu.

After arriving in the Western Regions, I also saw the snow-capped mountains like a saint and the vast grasslands and oases moistened by the snow-capped mountains. There is a clear dividing line between the oasis and the Gobi. Where there is water, there is a vibrant oasis, full of greenery. , where there is no water is an endless desert.

Such a huge and sharp contrast gives people a huge visual impact, and people can't help but sigh the majesty of the heaven and earth.

After arriving in Yili, countless flowers formed a beautiful sea of ​​flowers on the vast grassland with rich water and grass. In the sea of ​​flowers, the huge flock of sheep was like white clouds, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattered, and the herdsmen sang loudly, melodious and desolate, It reveals the thickness and joys and sorrows of the grassland nomadic tribes.

The endless grassland is connected with the blue sky and white clouds. It is midsummer, the blue sky and white clouds, from a distance, you can see the snow-capped mountains of the Tianshan Mountains, surrounded by white clouds, so holy, people can't help but wonder worship.

When the train entered the river area, the two old people couldn't help being deeply shocked by the richness and vastness of the river.

The endless wilderness is vast and boundless, and there is a large area of ​​no man's land, where wild camels, wild horses, donkeys, etc. are in groups and are free.

Whenever you sit on the train at night, you can hear the howling of wolves one after another. Under the full moon, you can see giant wolves howling at the moon on the top of the mountain, which makes people shudder.

And when they arrived at the towns in the river, as far as the eye could see, there were vast fertile farmlands, stretching as far as the eye could see, and the fields were square and dotted with stars, stretching to the end of the line of sight.

Steam machines were walking in billowing black smoke. On the wide concrete road, four-wheeled carriages were busy non-stop. There was a very long convoy of business travelers. Hundreds of four-wheeled carriages full of goods stretched along the road. superior.

In the sky, the eagle let out bursts of chirping sounds, bathed in sunlight and flew towards the sky, gradually turning into an invisible black spot.

Although the two old people have not read books, the scenery they saw along the way still made them very addicted. This is going to be buried soon, and it is definitely worthwhile to have the opportunity to see the great mountains and rivers of Ming Dynasty. .

"This trip is really profitable. I have stayed in my hometown all my life, and I thought that the whole world is similar to our Kaifeng."

Old man Li sighed again and again, now he is very glad that he came to this river with old man Wang, so that he can see the beautiful scenery along the way and experience a different kind of landscape.

"Haha, I just said that we should come out for a walk. If we don't come out and take a look, we thought that the whole world is similar to our hometown."

"Looking at the scenery along the way, even if this immediately puts me in the ground, I have no regrets."

Old man Wang also nodded. The two old people originally wanted to come and see their sons and children, but they didn't expect the scenery along the way to be so beautiful, like a scroll, so beautiful and intoxicating, it was an eye-opener. .

"Tsk tsk, look at the fields here, the fields are so square and flat."

"How much grain does this have to bring out!"

Old man Li sighed as he looked at the incomparably vast fertile land in front of him.

Although Kaifeng, my hometown, is also a plain area, the fields are divided into very small pieces, with one sitting on the right and one on the right, and the shapes are also different. It is not like the fertile fields in front of me. It is square and neat, and it looks pleasing to the eye. .

Look at the wheat in the field again. The heavy ears of wheat bend the stalks. The golden field is full of joy of harvest. When the wind blows, it looks like golden waves stretching to the end of the field of vision.

He has planted the fields all his life, and what he likes to see most is such a harvest scene.

The severe drought here in Henan is sure to lead to no crops, but the area in the middle of the river has ushered in a bumper harvest.

"It is said that the grain produced in the Hezhong area is enough for our entire Ming Dynasty. I always didn't believe it before, but now it seems that this is absolutely true."

Old man Wang also nodded, looking at such a field makes people feel relieved.

The train moved forward slowly, getting closer and closer to the town.

Dragon Head Town is here, Dragon Head Town is here~
"arrive!"

When Old Man Li and Old Man Wang heard this, they immediately became excited. They carried their packages on their backs and came to the door of the car. When they looked outside, they could already see a bustling town.

The outskirts of the town are vast fields and a large number of pastures and farms. You can see a train transporting cattle, sheep and horses at the railway station. A large number of livestock such as cattle, sheep, horses and pigs are constantly flowing through the prescribed passages. After being caught on the train, these livestock will be transported to the customs to supply a huge market.

Then there are patches of factory areas, a large number of factories are extremely busy, and four-wheeled carriages come in and out, constantly transporting raw materials or finished products.

The most central place is the town that was first built, and you can still see the city wall, but the original town can no longer accommodate the growing population and more needs, and you can already see part of the city wall It has been completely dismantled and integrated with the outside area.

The two old people got off the train with their packages on their backs, and looked around in a daze, not knowing where to go.

Fortunately, the staff of the station held tin horns and continued to direct, followed the crowd to the exit.

At the exit of the Longtou Town Railway Station, Master Li's third son, Li Sanwa, was leading his family of more than [-] people, all young and old, to welcome his father's arrival.

The same Mr. Wang's son, Wang Laosi, also brought his family of a dozen or so members to welcome his father, Mr. Wang, at the exit.

"I don't know how the old man is doing?"

"His body can't stand the train ride for several days."

Li Sanwa waited anxiously.

It has been eight years since I immigrated to the Hezhong area, and I haven't seen my father for eight years.

Originally, Li Sanwa thought that it was impossible to see her father again in this lifetime. After all, Hezhong and Henan were too far apart, and it was too difficult to go back and forth once.

Who knew that this time, the old man actually said that he would come to the Hezhong area to see himself while he was still healthy, which made Li Sanwa burst into tears immediately.

I should have gone to see Mr. Li by myself, but now it is Mr. Li who came to see me. Thinking about it, I feel that I am not filial.

Raising children to guard against old age, raising myself up, but the result is that the immigrant went to a place thousands of miles away, and there is a bowl of water in front of the bed of a filial son, and I can't even do a bowl of water.

"Dad, don't worry, taking the train is not tiring, and what Li Ye bought for grandpa is still a sleeper."

Li He on the side, dressed as a scholar, is about to go to Beijing Imperial University of Technology to study. Originally, he decided to stop by to see his grandfather, but now his grandfather is coming directly to the Hezhong area.

"What do you know, your grandpa's waist is hurt, he's often sore, and he's not in good health. I'm worried about him. He's on a long trip."

When Li Sanwa heard this, she immediately reprimanded Li He head-on.

When Li He was reprimanded, he could only stop talking. In his mind, he also recalled the time when he was with his grandfather in his hometown when he was a child. And I love her too much, never willing to scold a few words, let alone beat her.

"It's here, it's here!"

At this time, Li He's elder brother Li Ying hurried over and said excitedly.

"Come, come~"

As soon as Li Sanwa heard this, she looked towards the exit, looking carefully, trying to find the familiar figure of Dao.

It didn't take long, and the confused and bewildered Master Wang and Master Li came out together. The moment they saw Mr. Li, Li Sanwa couldn't help shouting out excitedly.

"Father~ Daddy~ here, here~"

Li Sanwa was as excited as a child. Even though she was already a grandfather, she was still extremely excited and happy when she saw her father, Mr. Li.

"Grandpa, grandpa~"

Brothers Li He and Li Ying shouted excitedly as they waved their arms.

On the other side, Master Wang's son and grandson were also extremely excited at this moment, shouting constantly.

Originally walking, Mr. Li and Mr. Wang, who were a little confused, heard the voice and looked up. When they saw their son and grandson and the big family, they laughed happily and walked faster.

"Tsk tsk, old Li, that's Li He, no matter how grown up he is, he's still so handsome, and he's a scholar again. From now on, he'll be great."

"Haha, your grandson is not bad either. He is tall and big, exactly the same as you were when you were young."

"Haha~"

Mr. Wang and Mr. Li came to the exit talking and laughing.

"Dad~"

Li Sanwa waited at the exit with his family, and the moment Mr. Li walked out, Li Sanwa immediately knelt down respectfully and shouted.

"Grandpa~"

Then the two brothers Li He and Li Ying knelt down in unison behind them, and seven or eight women knelt beside them, all of whom were their wives and concubines.

"Grandpa~"

Then, a group of children of Li He and Li Ying also knelt down in unison and shouted in unison.

On the other side, the same is true for Mr. Wang's family. The old and young of Mr. Wang's family also knelt down to Mr. Wang in unison.

"Haha, get up, get up~ all get up."

"He is a grandfather~"

Mr. Li smiled all over his face, and when he looked at the people kneeling on the ground in front of him, his smile became even wider.
