The cold wind howled in the sky, and flakes of goose feathers tumbled down from the lead-gray clouds, covering the whole land and mountains in a silver garb.
Youzhou is located in the north of Taixia, and for Youzhou in winter, for some days, all vehicles in the sky will lose their effect, the harsh and strong northwest wind will make it difficult for the airship to move in the air, and the cold and low temperatures in the high altitude may freeze the wings and engines of the aircraft, at this time, the vehicles on the ground are very valuable.
"Whew" The whistle at the front of the train emitted a white mist, in the mist, the melodious whistle resounded throughout the mountains, with the two railroad tracks from the "squeak" vibration, the snow on the pine trees closest to both sides of the railway fell one after another, for a stubborn train running in the mountains, such a scene, like someone on both sides of the railway scattered snowflakes to welcome the arrival of the train.
At this moment, in the dining car car near the front of the train, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy and an eight- or nine-year-old girl were lying on the two seats, their blue eyes widened, and the whole person was clinging to the double glass of the carriage, staring with excitement at the snowflakes falling from the pine trees outside the train.
For children, all this is very interesting, and the scenery of large expanses of snow falling from the pine trees can only be seen in the carriage near the front of the train, and if you are behind the train, you can only see the pine trees shaking off the snow along the way.
At this time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was past noon, so there were relatively few people in the dining car, except for these two children lying on the window of the dining car, there were not many other people, but in the place where the two children were half a train car, the position of the bar counter in the dining car car, there were also seven or eight adults gathered, these seven or eight adults ordered a glass of wine alone, and then they were gathered together, listening with relish to a person holding a wine glass, his hair and beard were gray, and he looked sixty or seventy years old.
But an old man who seemed to be quite energetic was talking about something.
"The Republic of Horn, you must not have heard of this name, but back then, this name was very famous in the Weii subcontinent, because the people of the entire Republic of Horn are enthusiastic glider flying enthusiasts, in the holy war, when the Weiyi subcontinent has not fallen, many of my friends and I served in a glider base in the Cernes war zone, responsible for logistics, I still remember, the head of our base is called Holson, that is a colonel, you would never think, one day, Who did I see in that base?"
the old man took a big sip of wine, and his cheeks were red.
"Haha, you didn't see that person, did you" A person next to the old man asked in disbelief, "That person also served in the Cernes war zone, everyone knows this" The person who spoke did not say the name of that person, but his respectful tone let everyone present know who that person was referring to, and that person's name had become a legend and monument for the entire human race in the Third Holy War, and almost everyone knew it.
"That's too low," someone shook their heads in disbelief.
The white-haired old man put down his wine glass and smiled calmly, "There are not too many things in the glider base on weekdays, especially engineers like us, I was sleeping in the dormitory that day, and the door was kicked open from the outside, and the herald of the base sent an order from Colonel Holson, asking us to gather in the No. 1 hangar of the base, saying that it was time to win glory for the Republic of Horn, hearing this, I put on a piece of clothing and rushed towards the No. 1 hangar of the base as fast as I could, When I arrived at Hangar 1, I saw a Chinese teenager in Hangar 1 and asked us for a strange modification."
As the white-haired old man said slowly, the eyes of the people around widened and showed excited looks, and when the old man proudly took out a treasured recruitment propaganda card, the people around him were boiling.
The conscription propaganda card was sandwiched in a special silver clip, and the two sides of the conscription clip were transparent crystal plates, through which the handwriting and contents of the conscription propaganda card inside could be seen.
On the front of the postscription card, which had become a little old, someone wrote a strong line of handwriting in Chinese I salute Zhang Tie to the Terran warriors who fought side by side with me in Sernes The slight commotion at the bar of the dining car did not affect the two children who were intently observing the scene outside the window, the train was passing through the reckless snowfield, and suddenly, in the white world, startled by the whistle of the train, a flame jumped in the snowfield not far from the train tracks, and it was very conspicuous "Firefox, firefox, that's a firefox with two tails," exclaimed the little girl and the little boy.
But the fire fox in the snow field was extremely vigilant, and in the blink of an eye, the fire fox disappeared from the sight of the two children.
"Go tell Grandma, we saw Firefox" As she spoke, the two children got out of the seats in the dining car, then held hands and ran to the back of the dining car.
It was only a moment of effort, and after passing through seven or eight carriages, the two of them pushed open the door of a train compartment at once.
"Grandma, grandpa, just now St.
Regis and I saw the fire fox, the fire fox is exactly the same as what grandma said, it has two tails, and it runs fast in the snow" As soon as he rushed into the box, the little boy opened his mouth first.
"I also saw the fox sweep away all its footprints with its tail as it ran, so smart," the little girl added.
Compared to the outside, the box is more warm, a brass candle oil tincture exudes a mild heat that makes the box warm like spring, in this box, there are only two people, both of them are sitting on the sofa by the car window, grandpa is looking down at a map, grandma is thoughtful tilted her head, looking at the scenery outside the window.
"Is it" Hearing the words of the two children, she turned her head when she looked at the grandmother outside the window, smiled at the two children, reached out and touched the little heads of the two children, and said gently, "In the legend of Taixia, those who can see the firefox in winter will definitely have good luck, and Regis and Ente are indeed the lucky angels of our family."
"We're going to tell Mom and Dad that they didn't know that St.
Regis and I had just seen the Firefox," the two children laughed happily, and in the blink of an eye, they ran out of the box again, closed the door of the box, turned around and ran to the next box, and chattered.
"Judging from the map, there are still more than a hundred kilometers, as long as you pass through this mountain, you should arrive at Heiyan City" Grandpa put down the map in his hand, raised his eyes, and looked at the wife opposite him who had been baptized by the years, but was still elegant and beautiful in his heart, "I heard that this Heiyan City in Youzhou is completely built according to the Black Flame City on the Weiyi Subcontinent, Dinah, you may meet a few acquaintances and students you knew before" "Maybe" Teacher Dinah smiled slightly, a bunch of gentle wrinkles suddenly piled up at the corners of her eyes, looking a little kind, Teacher Dinah, who is already in her seventies, because of proper maintenance, the whole person looks like a woman about fifty years old, except for a little fatter, a little more graceful, a few more strands of silver in her brown hair, and the elegant and intellectual gentle temperament on her body has not changed at all.
Grandpa suddenly remembered something, and suddenly became interested, and the whole person's body leaned over to this side, "By the way, I heard that person is also from Black Flame City, Dinah, have you ever seen that person when you were in Black Flame City before?"
"I said that person was my student, do you believe it?"
"Hahaha, how is it possible, we have been in Taixia for so many years, and we haven't heard you talk about it" The man laughed and shook his head, thinking that his wife was joking with him.
The smile on Dinah's face did not diminish, but she turned her long gaze back to the window.
Some things, she has only buried in her heart for so many years, and has never talked about it with anyone, although she has never seen that person again, but she is also silently paying attention to that person, and all kinds of news about that person will always reach her ears, and will be talked about by the people around her, mentioned repeatedly, as if it has been a myth.
Thinking of the last meeting with Zhang Tie, even if decades have passed, a different kind of warmth will still spring up in Dinah's heart.
Promise the teacher that you will always be the proudest student of the teacher The man did But Dinah also regarded this pride as a precious gift, a pure and beautiful agreement, hidden in her heart forever, only she knows, and only she can taste it.
Over the years, Dinah has been living in Guizhou, Taixia, and is also a teacher in a school, but this year, Dinah has retired from school, so she has time to see what this black and hot city is like in Youzhou during the school winter vacation.
This black flame city in Youzhou has been haunting Dinah's heart for many years.
And her family knew her thoughts, so they simply accompanied her to Youzhou as a long-distance trip.
For all these ethnic minorities living in Taixia, Heiyan City in Youzhou is a legendary city, where openness, tolerance, and vitality will make everyone who comes to Heiyan City unforgettable.
Two hours later, the train arrived at the Black Flame City Railway Station, from the moment she stepped off the train, Teacher Dinah couldn't help but get excited, because the train station in front of her was exactly the same as the one in Black Flame City in her memory, just like the newly renovated Black Flame City Railway Station, out of the train station, there was also a street called "Liujin Street" from south to north outside the train station, not only the name of the street, but even the light poles on both sides of the street were exactly the same as the previous Black Flame City The memory in my mind, at this moment, slowly coincided with everything in front of me, and everything in the city in front of me seemed to be like a dream, so illusory and so real I remember that the man seemed to have worked in a grocery store near the train station.
A few days later, the light snow began to clear, and the entire Black Flame City was lively again "Grandma, ah, there's a grocery store here."
The sound from the door made Zhang Tie, who was wiping things with a burlap cloth in the grocery store, wearing a green coat and a small hat, and a guy dressed up and playing in his true colors, turned around suddenly.
Two children ran in through the door, while their grandmother followed them.
All of Zhang Tie's movements froze at once, because he saw those beautiful blue eyes again, like blue mountains The man who walked in through the door froze at once, and that person, as always, did not change in the slightest Zhang Tie scratched his head After staring at each other for a moment, both of them laughed at the same time Leona's brother, Dinah's teacher,
