It was at this time that Zhang Hongcheng thought of something.
The subject prepared motion sickness medicine in the Chinese medicine pills he prepared for himself.
After swallowing four black pills the size of rice grains, Zhang Hongcheng felt warm all over. Sitting on the bus again, he no longer felt like vomiting, but just wanted to sleep.
Zhang Hongcheng originally thought that the bus drivers in Northeast China were already very awesome as they could drive on ice.
But when I got here, I found out that almost all the local bus drivers have "God's foresight" and can easily drive the bus around in the jungle without any road signs.
Half of the people on the bus were picking their throats toward the outside.
The medicine made by Chu Miaohong was very effective. When he woke up, he found that the shuttle bus was slowly approaching Puwen Station.
Puwen is a small town on the way to Banna. The so-called shuttle bus station is actually a big thatched shed with a wooden sign outside.
Everyone has to change cars here.
Zhang Hongcheng sat in the big straw shed for a long time before he recovered.
It was already past six in the afternoon, and the bus to Jinghong, Banna would not arrive until the next morning, so everyone was looking for a place to stay overnight.
Behind the big straw shed was a forest, and under the forest was another shed, but the straw on the shed had been lifted up.
There were mosquito coils lit in the shed and dozens of bamboo beds placed there.
The person in charge of this place charges 20 cents per stall, and many people complain that it is too expensive.
But the administrator was too lazy to argue with everyone, and they could stay there or not anyway.
If you don't want a bed, a bamboo stool in the shed will do, five cents each.
He doesn't care about what happens outside the shed.
Zhang Hongcheng walked around and finally went to a small guesthouse in the town.
Those are a few small bamboo buildings.
There are beds on the floor in the room, and several people can sleep in one room.
Zhang Hongcheng moved in with a letter of introduction and spent 36 cents on accommodation.
There was no special canteen in the small guesthouse, so the waiter cooked a pot of rice himself with several kinds of vegetables, and just sprinkled some salt on it before taking the rice out of the pot.
Everyone who lives here takes their bowls and chopsticks back to their room to eat.
There are too many mosquitoes in the kitchen.
Living in the same room with Zhang Hongcheng were two male comrades, who were educated youth from the Yunnan Provincial Construction Corps.
When they heard that Zhang Hongcheng came from the Northeast Construction Corps, they seemed very curious.
I talked to Zhang Hongcheng for a long time.
It was also from them that Zhang Hongcheng learned that the main task of the educated youth in the Yunnan Provincial Construction Corps was to plant rubber.
Although the educated youth in Yunnan Province had a hard life, they were in good spirits and their tone was full of pride.
"Those foreigners are so ruthless. They have to pay ten tons of rice for one ton of rubber..."
The nights here are a bit unbearable, mainly because of the many mosquitoes and the stuffy heat.
We chatted until a little after nine o'clock, and the three of them went out to take a shower twice.
It wasn't that the three people only wanted to flush twice, but the waiter locked the faucet after 9:30 in the evening.
Soon, the room was filled with the smell of medicated oil, making it even more impossible to fall asleep.
I lay there in a daze until about ten o'clock, when another person moved into the room.
Zhang Hongcheng and the other two looked at the man who was walking quietly under the kerosene lamp with curiosity.
The man was about forty years old and obviously not an educated youth.
Listening to the waiter who was woken up so late, his tone was quite gentle, and he even opened the lock of the iron box on the faucet, it was obvious that this man's identity was somewhat unusual.
When the man came back from washing up, the two educated youth took the initiative to chat with him.
Zhang Hongcheng felt that the man's accent was somewhat familiar. After chatting for a while, they found out that they were from the same region (city).
The man's surname is Cheng, and he is the instructor of Jinghong Fire Brigade.
When fellow villagers meet, they chat until they wake up at the moon.
The next morning, the four of them checked out.
Zhang Hongcheng and Lao Cheng were enthusiastically invited by two educated youth to board a passing truck from the Construction Corps.
The truck smelled of rubber, which was a bit unpleasant.
The drivers of the Corps are even crazier than the shuttle bus drivers. They drive trucks and drift in the dense forest.
The people in the truck were getting up and down, chatting and laughing, without feeling carsick at all.
But you can't stand up in the truck bed at will, because the truck is going at such a fast speed that it is easy for your head to hit the branches and leaves above you.
The two educated youth would sometimes reach out and pull off a few unknown fruits from the leaves on the roof of a passing car.
The fruit cannot be eaten; it is meant to be thrown.
River bends or streams can be seen everywhere in the dense forest. Whenever the two male educated youth passed by such places, they became energetic.
The fruit whizzed straight towards a piece of rotten wood on the river bank. After being hit several times, the "rotten wood" turned around in panic and sank into the river bend.
It turned out to be a crocodile.
This creature and the python are known as the two overlords of the southern rainforest, but after the educated youths entered the rainforest, they both stepped down from the top of the food chain.
The pig dragons are very glad that their meat is not tasty and full of parasites.
The truck roared past with its horn blaring, causing a dozen crocodiles to flee into the water in panic.
Zhang Hongcheng had only seen artificially bred crocodiles in short videos before, but he couldn't take his eyes off this wild crocodile.
He didn't think about eating meat or anything, he thought about belts, leather shoes...
The speed of the Corps truck was four or five times that of the shuttle bus. At noon, Zhang Hongcheng, whose butt was swollen from the shaking, finally saw Jinghong, the center of Xishuangbanna.
What catches the eye are several neat rows of banana trees and a sea of phoenix flowers.
The Phoenix tree blooms in May, but in Banna, April is the first month for them to bloom.
Flowers are blooming and people are gathering. People wearing bright ethnic costumes are crowding the streets.
