My girlfriend who has been running for ten years is getting married tomorrow

Chapter 30 The blizzard that night saved my life (3)
"Which point are you looking for?"

Xiao Meng said: "The lower half of a wooden stake at the big bend is blackened, and the coordinates are written on it with a signature pen."

"Fuck! That's a temporary pile that was laid when the water pipe was pulled, and there has been an error for a long time!" Old Liu spread out the blueprint, made a few gestures with a ruler, and clicked a place outside the drawing, "Probably in the At this location, there is a concrete pile of [-] to [-] centimeters. A steel nail is embedded on the pile. The steel nail is engraved with a cross code. The coordinates on the cement pile are written in red paint. All the data here are based on that pile. As a benchmark, you have to find that pile."

It was only then that I remembered that there was indeed a concrete pile and a path beside it, and I had only been there once.Later, the piling team introduced new coordinates at the construction site, and everyone gradually forgot the existence of the original coordinate piles, and the path was also buried by grass, gravel and snow.

A simple low-level mistake, all the hard work in the morning was in vain, and the depression in my heart that could only be expressed in a thousand words turned into a fuck.Old Liu looked at me helplessly, and I understood what he meant, whether everyone wanted to or not, we had to do this kind of work that didn't belong to us all over again in the afternoon.

Compared with our hard work, it is more important to get the project money smoothly, but sometimes I can't figure it out: you have to pay for a meal at a restaurant, you have to pay for an apple at a street stall, and you have to pay for a needle at a counter in a shopping mall. The money is delivered with one hand, why do we even take our own hard-earned money in such a fucking low voice when we do projects for these bastard grandsons?

"I said hello to Mr. Gu of Party A yesterday. This year, as long as a worker comes to my house to ask for wages, I will chop off his signature hand." Old Liu stood up, resting his hands on the table, A murderous posture.

I know that he is just bragging, he is no longer a desperado who can't lose.

Looking at the dejected people, I started to have a headache again, took off my high snow boots and socks, and dried them next to the brazier.I sat on the bed and continued to read the blueprints. Xiaomeng took my mobile phone to read the novel. After resting for an hour, I snatched the mobile phone and said, "Let's set off later, finish work early and go home early."

I looked up when I went out, the sky was overcast and the clouds were a little low, but that seemed to be the case for the last few days.Same as in the morning, we drove out for a few kilometers first, then got out of the car and walked into the wild.In order to speed up the efficiency, we brought a total station, two prisms, two people for each prism, a tripod support, and a nail pile.

Xiao Meng picked up the total station and said, "You are not in good health. I'll go find that concrete pile!"

"Can you do this?" I asked.

"You taught me last time, I should know..."

Xiaomeng is indeed more studious. He used to like to tinker with various construction machinery. He is proficient in tower cranes, excavators and trucks. This year, he is interested in optical measuring instruments.But he has only learned a little bit, and has very little operating experience, not to mention coordinate calculations, and he is clumsy even in setting up instruments.The terrain around the concrete pile is quite complicated, and I don't feel at ease for this daredevil to go into the snow alone. At the beginning of the year, I issued a military order to his old mother, "Come to work happily, and go home safely".

I carried a [-]-kilogram total station on my back, took the walkie-talkie, and waded into the white snow field alone.The thick snow covered my calves, and I trudged around for half an hour, but I couldn't find the damn concrete pile.I was sweating profusely from walking, my back was wet, my mouth was dry from the heat, and then I was blown by the cold wind, and I went from the stove to the ice cellar in an instant.

"Gong Lu, have you found it?" A colleague called from the intercom.

"Not yet," I replied breathlessly, "the snow is too thick to recognize the previous terrain."

"You have traveled so far, can you still observe it?"

I looked back, and their figures were faintly visible in the distance, so I said: "It's okay, the instrument is aiming far away, how can your naked eyes compare with brother's clairvoyance?"

While waiting for me to find the coordinate post, a few of them chatted on the intercom, first cursing the owner who imposed the task, then complaining about the weird weather, and finally discussing the arrangements for going home this year with great interest.Some want to beat up the unlucky kid in the family and take them out to eat KFC, some want to add a car to the family, some want to build a modern kitchen for the family, and of course, there is a cheeky one who wants to eat KFC. Fucked in bed with wife ten times before giving up.

"Just blow it up..." Everyone laughed.

In fact, the crowd is not so happy.Those who want to beat the child are worried that their son will be estranged from themselves; those who want to buy a car just don’t want to lose face to relatives; After getting out of bed, he had always suspected that his wife was having an affair with another man.

"What about you, brother?" Xiaomeng asked.

I said, "I have to get back what I lost."

"Sister Yaoyao?" He asked.

I just laughed and carried the instrument on my shoulders and continued to move forward.Having experienced a serious illness, my physical strength was exhausted in the morning rush. At this time, I felt like I was wearing a pair of iron boots, and every step was heavy.Sometimes I didn't pay attention to the pits under the snow, and I stepped on it, and the whole person fell down with a plop, with ice and snow scum all over his face, and the brackets, instruments, walkie-talkies, calculators, paper and pens were scattered all over the place.

What made me even more disturbed was that my eyesight was also abnormal. Looking at this white snow field for a long time, my eyes were dry and sore, with tears oozing from time to time.I suddenly lost my judgment on the distance. The snow under my feet was like a piece of white paper. I couldn't tell the height of the snow layer, nor could I see the shadow on the ground. of another world.

I even had to squat down and touch the snow to find my own footprints.

Looking around again, the sound of the wind became fierce, and the fine snow slag on the ground was rolled up, and the originally clear world suddenly became turbid.I searched my pockets all over my body, but I couldn’t find my light filter glasses. I guessed that I accidentally lost them when I fell down, and Xiaomeng’s call came from the intercom: “The sky is going to change in the Gobi Desert, let’s Get out!"

"Can you see me?" I replied.

"I can't see it, the visibility is too low!"

I stumbled up to a nearby high ground and tried my best to look into the distance, but the world a hundred meters away was blurred, and Xiaomeng and the others were at least one kilometer away.Every angle around is the same, I can't tell the direction, I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where they are.

"I'm lost," I said.

"Can you follow the footprints back?"

"Many places are frozen, and no footprints can be found."

Everyone chattered about their ideas, the intercom was messy and intermittent, and the last worker interrupted: "Xiao Meng, hurry back to the car and honk the horn vigorously. If Lu Gong can hear you, go against the wind. If you can't hear it, go with the wind."

Others objected: "This is not very good, the wind direction here is constantly changing, and besides, our position and Lu Gong's position are not necessarily in the up and down wind direction, what if they are parallel?"

Ten minutes later, Xiao Meng had returned to the car. He said, "Brother, I will press and hold the horn for one minute now. Listen carefully to see if you can tell where I am. No one else is allowed to speak for the time being."

The intercom suddenly fell silent. I tried to hold my breath and listened to all the sounds around me. After a minute passed, I only heard my heart beating like a drum and the howling of the cold wind.

"Did you honk?" I asked.

"I've been pressing it, can't you hear it?" Xiaomeng's call came from the intercom, as well as the piercing whistle.

"Press again!"

I pinned the walkie-talkie to the epaulettes of my military coat, and put my hands together to listen to it. This time, I vaguely heard the sound of the car horn coming from the gap in the cold wind, intermittent, fluttering, seemingly absent.But I couldn't get excited at all, and I was even more confused, because I couldn't tell whether it was real or my hallucination.Even if it is real, I don't know where it comes from, and the cold wind blows wildly in this endless snow field.

"Hurry up and go back to the construction site, find someone to burn a few fires, make them more prosperous, and show me the direction, I can't find my way back." I anxiously gave instructions on the intercom.

"I'll drive back!" Xiao Meng replied, and the sound of the car engine starting immediately sounded.

However, until nine o'clock in the evening, the night had already fallen, and only the cold light reflected by the white snow was left around. There was still no progress at all, and the intercom was full of noisy quarrels between men.This is a situation I have never encountered at the seaside before. There is a kind of panic of being abandoned by the human world. I can only face the raging cold wind, wrap my body in a military coat, and desperately maintain the last bit of body temperature.

I took out my mobile phone to call Ling Yiyao, but either there was no signal at all, or I couldn't get through, and even the fucking text messages always failed to be sent.
