Chapter 15 Where Is the House?

When Xia Zhi walked to the front, he was stunned when he saw Zhou Zhengan.

"Zhou Zhengan?"

"From now on, you have to call me Captain Zhou. I am the captain of the Sixth Brigade. You all go with my team."

Zhou Zhengan said seriously with a straight face.

Xia Zhi nodded immediately. It was much better than he expected to meet an acquaintance and work under Zhou Zhengan.

Just when he wanted to ask Liu Qianjin for a favor, whether Liu Qianjin could be assigned to the same group as him, he heard Zhou Zhengan call out the names of Liu Qianjin and Liu Zhiyan.

"Don't worry about others."

Zhou Zhengan whispered as he passed by Xia Zhi, with a smile on his face.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Zhou Zhengan is such a good person.

Just because of what Zhou Zhengan did today, she will definitely treat this friend well in the future.

Liu Qianjin and Liu Zhiyan were very happy to see that Xia Zhi did not separate from them. They also established a deep friendship along the way.

But when they saw the carriage, Liu Zhiyan was still a little dumbfounded.

"What is this?"

"Don't look at it, it's a carriage. We don't have so many cars in our brigade. All the tractors are used for farming. How can you sit in it?

Okay, you should be glad that you didn't have to walk there.

We are still hundreds of miles away from the farm. Hurry up and get on the carriage. Don't waste time."

Zhou Zhengan directed everyone to get on the carriage and did not give Xia Zhi more preferential treatment.

This made Xia Zhi feel more relieved.

She was also afraid that Zhou Zhengan would give her too much preferential treatment and attract criticism from others. There are too many jealous people these days.

The one who drove their carriage was unexpectedly Jiang Yifan.

When Jiang Yifan saw Xia Zhi, she smiled and greeted him.

"Xiao Xia, we meet again."

"Comrade Jiang, we meet again."

"So you are also from the Sixth Brigade."

But no matter what, this is Zhou Zhengan's friend. It is said that he is also Zhou Zhengan's good friend and childhood friend. She and Zhou Zhengan are friends, so there is no need to show displeasure to Jiang Yifan.

Although Xia Zhi still has some opinions about this Jiang Yifan.

Jiang Yifan is too greasy and a bit smooth.

To put it bluntly, he is the kind of oily person who has mixed up in society.

But who made him Zhou Zhengan's friend.

"I am from the Sixth Brigade.

All the reclamation areas here are partly affiliated with special units, and the other part is composed of you educated youth and your families."

"Be prepared, the place you go may be completely different from what you imagine."

Xia Zhi didn't say anything, but smiled and nodded. Yes, she had been to the place they went.

When she went there that year, she almost cried when she arrived at that place.

But how miserable could it be if she went there a year earlier?

No matter how hard it is, it is just a dugout.

Seeing the girl's indifferent expression, Jiang Yifan smiled. These young intellectual women from the city have not experienced the wind and frost of this frontier, so they are probably still immersed in fantasy.

Just like when he came here, it was much worse than now. At least there are dugouts now.

Where did they have any dugouts at that time?

At that time, all you could see was the barren Gobi Desert.

There was no one to be seen, but wolves appeared from time to time, and even fetching water almost fed the wolves.

Anyone who saw a barren saline-alkali land and reed beach, and no shadow of a house could be seen.

It is estimated that people's beautiful dreams would be shattered.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhiyan and the others obviously did not have that idea at all.

The young intellectuals sitting in the carriage were full of passion at this moment, just to build the frontier and dedicate their youth.

Xia Zhi said nothing, but covered his head with a scarf.

And pushed Liu Zhiyan.

Liu Qianjin didn't have a scarf, so he couldn't even cover his face.

"Wear the scarf."

Liu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, and when she turned around and saw Xia Zhi's face tightly tied with a scarf, she almost burst out laughing.

Even if he was a masked hero, he at least showed his eyes, but this guy had the scarf tied tightly from head to neck.

"Xia Zhi, the scarf is not tied like this, I'll teach you."

And she kindly lowered her voice, after all, Liu Zhiyan now regarded Xia Zhi as her friend, and she didn't expect Xia Zhi to do this.

To be honest, if she didn't regard Xia Zhi as her friend, she would feel embarrassed.

Xia Zhi shook her head.

"You'd better tie the scarf like me."

Xia Zhi also said in a low voice, mainly because he didn't want to attract Jiang Yifan's attention.

They didn't know the environment here at all. Once the wind blew, sand and stones flew everywhere, and they could swallow two kilograms of sand.

Not being a local, he didn't know the climate conditions here, and didn't know that a veil was a must-have item here.

But unfortunately Jiang Yifan still turned his head, obviously noticing that the two of them were talking in a low voice.

Jiang Yifan's eyes showed some understanding, Zhou Zhengan really protected his child.

"Xiazhi's veil is really not worn like this, and it's not appropriate to wear a veil in such a cold day. We should wear a wool scarf now."

God knows that the temperature has dropped to this level now, even the breath you exhale when you talk is white.

What Xiazhi wanted to say was swallowed back in an instant.

Don't think that there is no flying sand and rocks in winter, the wind in this winter can still kill people.

Before he could speak, a gust of wind started to blow.

Xia Zhi hurriedly hugged his head and shrank down when the wind started to blow.

…………

After half an hour, when the gust of wind passed, everyone in the carriage stared at Xia Zhi.

Liu Zhiyan spit out a mouthful of sand from her mouth, and then used her hands to dig the sand out of her ears and nostrils.

She couldn't even curse.

Finally, she knew why she had to use a scarf in the winter.

She hurriedly searched in the luggage on the carriage and pulled out her own scarf and wrapped it around her head. This time, she followed Xia Zhi's example and wrapped it tightly from top to bottom.

Then she put a wool scarf around her neck.

Anyone who wore a scarf started to move at this moment.

Xia Zhi closed his eyes silently. Anyway, the carriage was not moving fast, and he couldn't escape these ten hours.

He might as well take a nap.

He walked for more than ten hours in a daze, and when Xia Zhi opened his eyes, he heard it.

Jiang Yifan's voice came from the front of the carriage.

"Everyone get off, everyone get off, we've arrived."

He opened his eyes quickly.

He jumped off the carriage quickly. His legs were numb from sitting for so long. He rubbed his legs to stretch them, and pulled his small bag off the carriage and put it on his shoulders.

Everyone was stunned. In front of them, they could only see a pile of soil covered with a layer of salt and alkali flowers.

There was no shadow of the house.

"Comrade Jiang, where is our dormitory?"
