A doctor who travels through two eras

November 1961, 1

On the Liyang Mountain in the northwest corner of the urban area of ​​Shuo County, Jinbei District

Lin Sanqi was leaning on a wooden stick, his whole body wrapped up like a dumpling, with a dog-skin hat on his head and a scarf wrapped around it, looking like a fleeing peasant.

As he was walking, he suddenly stumbled and fell directly on the hillside.

"Comrade Sanqi, are you okay?"

When the people around saw it, they quickly gathered around to show concern.

Lin Sanqi raised his head and shook his hands: "I, I, I'm fine... Damn it, you, why is the wind so strong in northwest Shanxi? It's so strong... It makes people unable to stand..."

Dean Shen walked in front of the team and looked back at Lin Sanqi, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog. He felt extremely contemptuous:

"Hurry up and stand up. Look at yourself. Among our team of more than 100 people, who has such poor physical strength as you? Look at the other PLA comrades, who are carrying 100 to 80 kilograms of supplies on their shoulders? Are they exhausted?"

Everyone around laughed when they heard it.

Hu, the political commissar of the Jinbei Military Region, said with a smile:

"It's no wonder that Comrade Lin Sanqi is a young man from the capital who enjoys the best life and has never suffered since childhood. Unlike us, we climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands during the 25,000-mile Long March, so we don't feel it is so hard or tiring now."

Dean Shen took the opportunity to sit down on the ground:

"Old Hu, don't say anything good about this kid. He is useless. He is not even as good as old guys like us, let alone the comrades in the People's Liberation Army. When I go back, I will urge him to exercise well and not hold everyone back."

Lin Sanqi lay on the ground, thinking that he should be more restrained when going out with Yin Lianyi in the future. After fighting for several nights, his legs were weak and no amount of Chinese medicine could make them back to normal.

I just traveled back to 1961 and rushed several hundred kilometers to Shanxi. Then I had to climb the mountains. It would be strange if I didn't collapse from exhaustion. It seems that I will have to eat a lot when I go back, and stuff them into my mouth like chewing strange-tasting beans.

"Hu, Political Commissar Hu...how long will it take us to reach the Jingde Temple?"

Lin Sanqi thought to himself that in 2013 he took a car along the winding mountain road to get up there, and the whole journey took less than an hour.

As a result, we have been climbing the mountain for 5 hours, but still haven't seen the shadow of the dilapidated temple. How long will it take to finish climbing?

Political Commissar Hu looked at the mountains and felt a little embarrassed, so he looked at a local villager guide nearby.

"Fellow villager, how long will it take us to reach Jingde Temple?"

The fellow hurriedly nodded and bowed: "Leader, hurry up, if you let me go, I will be there in at most another hour."

Lin Sanqi wailed, "It's over. What takes one hour for my fellow villagers will take at least three or four hours for me."

Upon hearing this, Dean Shen quickly stood up and patted his butt:

"Okay, let's go. It's already noon. It's good enough if we can reach Jingde Temple before dark. Do you still want to camp in the wild? Be careful of wolves. The wolves in northwest Shanxi ate human flesh before liberation. They are more vicious and fierce than the wolves in Changping."

When Lin Sanqi heard this, he glanced at the 100 golden troops. They were all wearing green uniforms and had real weapons on their backs and waists. Not to mention wolves, even ghosts would be beaten to shit.

"Uncle Shen, you can't scare me. If it were just the two of us, I'd still be scared. But now that there are so many PLA soldiers here, the wolves will probably run away when they see us from afar. Otherwise, they'll just be delivering food to us."

Political Commissar Hu was a local boss, and he laughed when he heard this:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, let's climb as fast as we can."

Lin Sanqi also stood up by leaning on the wood: "Then climb."

Captain Xu of the Golden Army also laughed and said:

"Comrades, Lieutenant Colonel Lin can't climb anymore. Let's sing a song to encourage him!"

"it is good!!!"

"Get ready to sing!"

“As the sun sets in the west, the clouds turn red; the soldiers return to the camp after target practice; the red flowers on their chests reflect the colorful clouds; happy songs fill the sky; Mi so la mi so, La so mi do re, happy songs fill the sky~~~”

Dean Shen laughed and said to Lin Sanqi:
"This song, Returning from Target Practice, was just released this year. As soon as it was released, it was well received by the officers and soldiers. Look at how vigorous and energetic these respectable and lovely young people are."

Lin Sanqi nodded heavily:
"The Gold Corps has a very difficult job. They fight in the worst environment and the most difficult conditions. We should all learn from them." Lin Sanqi wanted to join the Gold Corps because they have to search for gold in the wild. They have rich experience in prospecting and are professionally qualified.

If gold can be mined smoothly, then finding a coal mine should be a piece of cake, right?
Three hours later, the villagers finally shouted in surprise:

"Here we are, here we are, at Jingde Temple."

Lin Sanqi, who was already exhausted, got up quickly as if he had a last burst of energy when he heard this. With the help of two young PLA soldiers on his left and right, he quickly climbed to the top of the mountain.

Dean Shen, Political Commissar Hu, and Captain Xu were already at the temple gate. When they saw Lin Sanqi coming up, they quickly waved:
“Is this the temple?”

Lin Sanqi quickly took out a stack of photos from his backpack and pointed them at the temple gate. The photos were taken by Lin Sanqi with his mobile phone in 2013, and deliberately photoshopped in the style of the s.

"There is a stone archway in front of the temple gate with flame patterns on it. Yes, it is this archway, exactly the same. The temple gate is built of stone, and the words 'Jingde Family Temple' are written on it. Hey, this plaque seems wrong."

Dean Shen grabbed the photo and compared it:
"Everything else is correct. It's okay that the wooden plaque is wrong. Maybe someone replaced it in the middle. There is a temple behind it. Let's go in and compare it."

The Jingde Temple in 2013 is definitely different from the Jingde Temple in 1960.

After all, the Jingde Temple was renovated in 2013 and used as a tourist attraction, so it is well protected.

There was not even a single monk or Taoist priest in the Jingde Temple in front of him. The temple was overgrown with weeds and looked dilapidated. It was obvious that no one had been there for a long time. Even the roof of the temple had collapsed a lot.

Dean Shen and his colleagues were comparing photos. Lin Sanqi had just been here in another era and had a very similar impression of the place, so he looked at it with his eyes and concluded in his heart that this was the Jingde Temple he was looking for.

"Uncle Shen, Political Commissar Hu, Captain Xu, I think this Jingde Temple is almost certainly here. I have a stack of photos here of the surrounding mountains. Please compare them."

Although the overall landscape of the mountains and rivers has not changed in the past 60 years, many details have changed.

For example, the mountains around us now are all bare, the tops of the mountains are exposed, and there are very few trees and vegetation.

In 2013, the mountains were all covered with forests. It is obvious that later generations paid more attention to environmental protection.

A mountain with trees and a mountain without trees look different to the naked eye, just like a chicken looks different when it is featherless and when it is feathered.

Everyone dispersed with their photos in hand to compare them with the surrounding mountains.

Lin Sanqi stood on the top of the mountain and looked down. There was a huge canyon at the foot of the mountain, with an area of ​​at least two to three hundred square kilometers, but it was different from what he saw in another era.

In 2013, at the foot of this mountain were two huge coal pits, very, very deep and very, very spectacular.

After a while, Captain Xu of the Golden Army came over:
"President Shen, Political Commissar Hu, Lieutenant Colonel Lin, based on our judgment, this should be the Jingde Temple in Lieutenant Colonel Lin's photo. You see, the mountain in the photo is the mountain opposite. There is a gap here, which is the gap between the two peaks over there. They all match up."

Lin Sanqi had an idea in mind and was not surprised at all.

Dean Shen was a little excited after hearing this: "Xiao Qi, this is it. Where is the huge open-pit coal mine you mentioned?"

Lin Sanqi pointed down the mountain and said:

"If I tell you that at least 300 square kilometers at the foot of this mountain is all coal, and the deposits are very shallow, would you believe it?"

Dean Shen and Captain Xu looked at each other and saw the word "disbelief" in each other's eyes.

If these hundreds of square kilometers were all open-pit coal mines, that would be an astonishingly huge amount of wealth. It would be impossible for it not to have been discovered over the years.

Hu Zhengce looked at the guide next to him:

"Fellow villager, what is the land at the foot of the mountain called in your area?"

"Replying to the leader, we call this place Antaibao. There used to be a fortress camp to defend against the Tartars in the northern frontier. Later, I heard that when Li Zicheng rebelled, he fought a battle with the Ming army here.

At least 10 people died on both sides in that battle, and everyone thought this place was unlucky. In addition, the land here could not grow crops, so there was not even a village here, and even caravans did not go through Antaibao. "

Lin Sanqi laughed when he heard it:

"That's right, we can't grow crops. Haha, because the high coal content in the coal soil will cause the soil to become too acidic, affecting the ability of plants to absorb nutrients, so crops can't be grown well. It seems that we have found the right place!" (End of this chapter)
