After several days of train travel, the train finally entered the border area, and the surrounding scenery also changed dramatically. From the green and lush woods that Li Jian first saw, now only grasslands remain, and

After walking on the grassland for half a day, even this little bit of green gradually disappeared.

The gray-yellow desert gradually began to appear in his eyes, and the yellow sand began to hit. Li Jian looked out from the car window and saw that the outside had turned into an unchanging gray-yellow world. As the breeze gradually picked up, the dim yellow

The sand dances with the wind and sweeps up to the sky.

The hills in the distance became blurred under such yellow sand. This was considered to be the boundary of the Gobi Desert. It was in such a barren place that the modern engineering corps forcibly carved out a desert.

An oasis in the midst.

The lives of frontier people have also undergone fundamental changes due to the emergence of these oases.

But even under such circumstances, there are still some people who misunderstand the Han people, and some people even still remain resistant to the Han people. This is also the fundamental reason for the frequent occurrence of violent terrorist attacks, but regardless of

No matter what, they cannot deny that it is precisely because of the reclamation of the Han engineering corps that the current Gobi Desert is more than just a Gobi.

They have been able to plant on the Gobi Desert, and it is precisely because of the efforts of several generations of the Engineer Corps that the environment of the Gobi Desert has undergone great changes, and everything is developing in a good direction.

However, the Gobi is too far away from the capital and inland, and there are vast grasslands and huge mountains in the middle. This is why most frontier people have never left the Gobi in their lives.

The yellow sand outside the window rose with the wind, and at the same time part of it was blown away by the wind. The part that was blown away headed towards the capital, seemingly arriving at the capital with greetings from the border people.

The citizens of the capital are becoming more and more sensitive to the smog weather. At the same time, their feelings towards the border areas, where the yellow sand from the smog comes from, are also quietly changing. In addition, in recent years, violent terrorist attacks caused by border people have become increasingly serious.

Incidents, inland people's understanding of the frontier is also changing.

People on both sides are experiencing seemingly unimportant changes in each other's senses at the same time, but if you look at these things from other angles, you will find that the serious consequences of these changes have begun to emerge.

Except for the yellow sand that flew towards the capital, the remaining yellow sand was like a kite with its string broken. Without the support of the force, it fell one after another. In Li Jian's eyes, it was like a kite.

It rained yellow sand.

In such a vast and rough place, even the mountain scenery has become wild and unruly, and the raging yellow sand is like the character of the frontier people, moving and falling with the wind, regardless of the consequences and the antecedents.

The surrounding dunes composed of yellow sand also gradually flowed in the movement of the wind. They were like a huge and turbulent river. As the breeze gradually picked up, the river seemed to suddenly come alive.

Just like before, he appeared in front of people.

Under the yellow sand, a little bit of green emerges with the movement of the yellow sand, like a small fish in the middle of this huge river, appearing on the water from time to time, swaggering across the city for tourists to see.

A glimpse of him.

But at the next moment, she shyly hid under the river, giving you a dreamlike feeling. Li Jian has never been to the frontier, and this is his first time there.

However, Li Jian has been to places that are the same as or even worse than those on the frontier, but he has never seen such scenery. Perhaps Li Jian has always been in a hurry, so he has never seen anything like this.

There are other places with views like this.

People who are in a hurry cannot see the beautiful scenery around them!

Li Jian did not feel sad because of this. If it were not for the special nature of this mission, Li Jian would not have gotten on the train. Perhaps Li Jian would never have the opportunity to see such a scene in his life.

Maybe when Li Jian is old, he will go out for a walk as a traveler to see the places he has been to before. After his identity and mentality have changed, are these places the same?

There will also be changes.

But Li Jian is not sure whether he will come to the border areas again. It's not because the border areas are bad. On the contrary, places that don't stick to one standard are what Li Jian likes.

But Li Jian is still unwilling to come to such a place, because he knows that under such roughness, something is growing secretly. Although the speed is not fast, it can still mature if it grows quietly.

And these things are what Li Jian doesn't want to see. Maybe Li Jian still hasn't adapted, but this is his choice. If there is still a chance, Li Jian will not come to this place again.

This time, his thoughts were dancing with the yellow sand outside. Outside the yellow gauze tent formed by the yellow sand, a row of strong figures suddenly appeared in Li Jian's eyes.

Li Jian could not see all their faces clearly, but just seeing such a figure was enough to have a huge impact on Li Jian's heart. It was Populus euphratica, and countless poets and poets praised it in their writings.

Populus euphratica.

In the eyes of others, this Populus euphratica is a majestic warrior, guarding the edge of the yellow sand all his life, resisting the attack of the yellow sand, and even after their death, they still firmly perform this duty.

But in Li Jian's view, these Populus euphratica do not want to be warriors one by one. If they are warriors, they are not warriors who block the yellow sand from the outside, but warriors who block the border people from the inland people.

.

That kind of warrior is not what Li Jian likes. In Li Jian's view, these Populus euphratica are like frontier people. They live tenaciously in such a place with extremely harsh environment, but they don't complain at all.

They didn't even feel the slightest bit disappointed.

They are like the pioneers of the frontier people. They bravely moved forward behind the yellow sand in ancient times, even though no one knew what was behind the yellow sand and how far the world of yellow sand was.

But they still chose to move forward resolutely. They wanted to see what was behind the yellow sand. They formed small teams one by one. They didn't need to bring too much equipment or make too many preparations. That's it.

When you think of it, move forward decisively.

They stood in rows in front of Li Jian, just like the figures of frontier people moving forward one by one. Such people are the real frontier people, who have the courage to explore, discover, and never do anything under any circumstances.

Back up.

This is the most noble quality that the desert has nurtured them and given them. With the support of this quality, the frontier people have lived in such a place generation after generation.

In ancient memories, if you want to come to the border area, you have to pass through a flaming mountain. Behind the flaming mountain is the border area. From such legends, you should know that in the distant era, the border area

The living environment is like this.

What can you think of behind the Flame Mountain?

Populus euphratica soon disappeared from Li Jian's eyes, but a city that was not grand, but was shocking enough appeared. In the desert, in the Gobi, there was such a city.

It's like digging out caves for living in the cliffs. On the yellow sand, people built a city, and the city is still growing gradually.

Even the natural yellow sand cannot change the growth of the city. The Populus euphratica forest in front is a gap that Huangsha cannot cross. And behind the Populus euphratica forest, there is a group of people with the same qualities. In this way, the Huangsha is

It is even more difficult to break through such a world.

Seeing the city in front of him, Li Jian suddenly felt in his heart whether his mission was worthwhile and whether the people here should be allowed to solve their problems on their own. Li Jian firmly believed that in such an environment, he could

A nation that still creates vitality will surely be able to solve more serious problems.

He didn't know how most frontier people looked at people like him who came from more prosperous and fertile areas in the interior. Maybe they would have disdain in their eyes, maybe they would have envy in their eyes.

However, in their eyes, there must be the same look towards what they have, that is pride.

The people from the frontier should be proud. They have to undergo more postgraduate entrance examinations than the people from the inland, and they also endure more hardships than the people from the inland, but they still live tenaciously.

Perhaps some of them have given up on the qualities they derived from their ancient ancestors and the land that raised them, but there are still more who are holding on.

For such people, Li Jian feels that his fight is necessary. It is very difficult to survive in such a place. It is absolutely impossible to survive in such a place.

Kind people again suffer undeserved suffering.

Li Jian looked out of the window and saw strange-shaped hills on the Gobi Desert outside. These were wind-eroded hills under the perennial wind and sand on the Gobi Desert.

They have the most unique style, and each hill is different. Among so many hills in the Gobi Desert, you will never find any hill with the same appearance.

On the hills, there are clumps of large or small, dense or sparse bushes. On the wind-eroded sand dunes, the water is extremely scarce, but even with such scarce water, it will also be more seriously affected.

evaporation loss.

But even on such sand dunes, life really grew. These bushes were like warriors. They fought in the most difficult environment, and they won. They were proud of the others.

Above the bushes, there is an endless sky. Only the sky in the Gobi can be called a truly clear sky. On days when there is no rain, in fact, most of the time throughout the year, there is no sky in the Gobi.

Rainy days.

In these days, the sky is like a huge blue gem. After you have seen it, you can no longer move your eyes. You can't help but follow her, and your body and mind are completely integrated.

Arrived in this sky.

As the train continued to advance, the time gradually came to ten o'clock in the evening, and the sun finally began to calm down after mercilessly ravaging the Gobi for a whole day.

And when the sun sets, the Gobi Desert shows its most beautiful brilliance as a winner after a tenacious struggle against the sun.

At this time, the sky and the earth turned into a dreamy and magnificent color. Li Jian had never thought that there was such a scenery in the world. When such a scenery appears in front of you, it is like a heavy hammer, hitting you directly.

It's on your heart.

Such a dreamy sky does not seem real, it is like a dream, like mountains and forests lingering in the fog, making you feel that this mountain is not a mountain, this fog is not fog, this is a fairyland.
