Chapter 088: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Country
Zheng Yun finally decided that the car would be put here first, and everyone would continue to hurry.
He thought that since there was a road, there must be people, and he had driven so far on this road, and he estimated that it was almost the end.
Everyone was so hungry and weak that they walked for more than two hours, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
But I saw that surrounded by mountains, a mountain village was located in it, and there was smoke rising from everywhere.
Chen Meng and the others couldn't help but cheer a few times.
However, another terrible fact is in front of everyone's eyes, at the end of the mountain road is a 100-meter-high cliff with a hanging ladder leading to the bottom.
The ladder was made of wood, connected by ropes, and was attached to the stone wall, almost straight up and down.
Everyone couldn't help but secretly fear that if the mountain road was wide enough, they would inevitably continue to drive forward, and if they arrived at this place, they would not be able to distinguish the road ahead, and ninety percent would fall off the cliff and die.
"Is this ladder sturdy?"
Zheng Yun said, touched the ladder, and saw that the wood must be not short, and it looked a little rotten in many places, and he didn't know if the rope was still strong.
There are also some ropes and other tools in the RV, but if you want to go back, it will take four hours to go back and forth, and I am too tired and hungry to have the strength.
Chen Meng preemptively tested and went down the hanging ladder.
"Sure enough, he was born in special forces and has guts. Zheng Yun praised in his heart, seeing Chen Meng go down to the ground safely, and then go down himself.
There was a bodyguard who wanted to go down with him, saying that he wanted to protect him, but Zheng Yun thought that there were too many people and the ladder was too strong and more dangerous, so he didn't agree.
He was a little afraid of heights, and he didn't dare to look down, so he moved down step by step, and finally went down to the ground, so tired that he was sweating all over.
In the end, everyone reached the ground safely, as if they had experienced a test of life and death.
In fact, for everyone, passing this 100-meter suspension ladder is not a difficult behavior, but everyone is too hungry, the body collapses, and when they get to the bottom, their hearts are beating wildly.
The seven men continued on their way into the village.
Along the way, the villages here are all adobe houses, and the occasional villager can be seen, dressed in the style of the sixties and seventies that can only be seen in TV dramas, and they are all very shabby.
Seeing that some people came, especially the clothes of Zheng Yun and others were very special in their eyes, and the villagers came out one after another to see the excitement.
I saw that the skin of those villagers, whether adults or children, was black, red, black and red, and very rough, as if they saw some rare beast entering the village, and they all showed very curious eyes.
Zheng Yun came to a middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle, what kind of place are you?"
"Fengming Village, where are you from, from Tianhua City?"
Zheng Yun heard the uncle's accent very strange, but he could understand it, but he didn't expect such a place to have such a good name as Fengming Village.
Tianhua City is three hundred kilometers away from Haifeng City, Zheng Yun had passed there before, he was secretly glad that the people here were not isolated from the world, and he knew Tianhua City, and then asked them if there was a village chief here.
The uncle said yes, and immediately helped to invite the village chief.
The village chief is an old man of about 70 years old, described as thin, and after talking, Zheng Yun said that he came here to travel, and he got lost before he got here, and asked if there was any way out.
The village chief said that there was only one road above the ladder leading to the outside world, and that there was no other way.
Zheng Yun was depressed for a while, and then said that he was very hungry, had not eaten for a few days, and wanted to buy some food.
The village chief was also very enthusiastic and directly brought Zheng Yun and others to their home.
When I entered the house, it was really broken, the dirt floor, the earthen kang, and the wall were not even brushed with white ash, and there was no electricity in this place, everything looked very primitive.
The village elder's wife died young, and the family has two sons, two daughters-in-law, two grandsons, and one granddaughter.
The two daughters-in-law listened to their father's orders and immediately cooked a hot meal.
Although everything here is very shabby, the people here are so simple, which makes Zheng Yun very comfortable.
Zheng Yun learned from the chat that the ancestors of the local residents are said to have come here during the Tang Dynasty because of refuge, and heard a very nice birdsong at that time, so it was named Fengming Village.
There are three villages, more than 1,000 households, nearly 10,000 people, under the jurisdiction of Tianhua City and Yunshui County.
Because of the large population here, the above has long wanted to build a road here to lead to the outside of the mountain, but due to various difficulties such as funds, the construction has not been delayed, so it is still very closed.
Zheng Yun didn't expect that there were so many people here, so he was surprised and asked them if they usually went out of the village.
The village chief joked that everyone can go to the county several times in their lives, and they are not savages who don't understand anything.
Moreover, in order to take care of their poor life, the county subsidizes 30 yuan per person every month for living expenses.
Zheng Yun didn't expect that there would be such a poor place, and his heart was greatly touched for a while.
He thought that he would spend a little money to live for everyone here, and he couldn't help but feel that the luxury of the past was like a crime.
Self-blame is self-blame, and he thinks that if he does everything carefully from now on and doesn't spend a penny, it would be better to die.
Waited until the meal came up, but saw that it was tortillas, potatoes stewed beans, but there was no meat.
Although Zheng Yun was very hungry, how could he eat without meat?
The village chief smiled and said, "Isn't it delicious? You people from the city will definitely not be used to our food here!"
Zheng Yun smiled a little embarrassedly: "Uncle, do you have any pigs and sheep here, I'll buy one to eat." ”
The village chief laughed out loud, saying that the custom of their village is that when outsiders come, they must eat and drink well, but he saw that everyone was very hungry before, so he would deal with it simply, and then he would kill pigs and sheep at night, where would he buy it?
After he finished speaking, he immediately asked his two sons to go to the backyard to tie up their pigs and prepare to kill them.
His two sons were extremely obedient, and without saying a word, they rushed to the backyard, and after a while, they heard the sound of pigs howling.
At this time, a girl's clear voice came from outside, "Is Uncle Huang at home?"
Zheng Yun was stunned when he heard it, wasn't that voice Su Lingyin, I didn't expect to see her here.
Sure enough, the village chief's daughter-in-law greeted the girl one after another, invited her into the house, and called her Teacher Su.
Su Lingyin was also surprised to see Zheng Yun, "You, why did you get here?"
Zheng Yun got off the kang and said with a smile: "I still want to ask you, what's the matter with you?"
Seeing this, the village chief smiled and said, "Do you know? This teacher Su is a teacher who came to us to teach, he came here last winter, and he has been here for almost half a year. ”
Zheng Yun thought to himself that Su Lingyin, as a master's student who graduated from the United Nations University, actually came to such a poor mountainous area to be a teacher, and he couldn't tell whether he was moved or admired, and he was speechless for a while.
It took more than ten seconds for him to say that his people were lost and had gone here by mistake.
Su Lingyin was also very happy, and during the chat, she mentioned that Zheng Yun had said the poem describing the ugly girl, and she seemed to admire it sincerely.
Zheng Yun smiled a little ashamedly.
Su Lingyin chatted with Zheng Yun for a while, and then discussed the school with the village chief, saying that there are more and more students now, and the classroom is too small, so they are discussing expanding the classroom.
The village chief said that he would organize the villagers to cover it when he turned around, and then said to Su Lingyin that he would kill pigs at night and invite her to come over for dinner.
Su Lingyin listened, her smile narrowed slightly, she looked at Zheng Yun, and said with some seriousness, it is extremely difficult for the villagers here to go out of the mountains, even if they have money, it is not easy to buy things, these pigs and sheep are only killed during the Chinese New Year, and persuade him not to let the village chief break the bank.
Zheng Yun used to see Su Lingyin with spring-like warmth, but at this time, although she was only slightly serious, people didn't dare to resist what she said.
He said that he would not eat meat at the moment, Su Lingyin smiled and said, "There is another person who is also here, you must want to see it!"
Zheng Yun knew that it must be someone he was familiar with, so he asked curiously, "Who?"
"You wait!" Su Lingyin finished speaking, and walked out quickly.
After more than ten minutes, a rush of running sounded, and a girl rushed into the room, but it was Jin Shuyuan.
This is something Zheng Yun never expected, and before he could speak, he had already kicked her in the ass.
Jin Shuyuan laughed loudly: "Are you missing your sister and come to me?"
"Grandma, are you crazy, come here!"
"Oh, no!"
"Did you graduate?"
"I didn't go to college, so I came with Sister Su to teach students. ”
"My God!
He paused, clasped his palms together, made a posture of looking up to the sky and worshiping the Buddha, and said painfully: "God, help me, I'm crazy!"
"You dare to speak English!" Kim laughed and threw another punch at him.
The two were fighting, and Su Lingyin also came in and persuaded the two not to mess around with others.
After taking a seat, Zheng Yun hurriedly asked Jin Shuyuan why she came here.
It turned out that Zheng Yun didn't go to school much later, and Jin Shuyuan and Su Lingyin gradually got in touch.
The topic of the two at the beginning was naturally about Zheng Yun, and they both thought Zheng Yun was very interesting.
Later, Jin Shuyuan gradually realized that Su Lingyin was really good, and she regarded her as her best friend from the bottom of her heart, and she was almost inseparable.
When Su Lingyin finished her internship, said goodbye to Jin Shuyuan, and said her ambition, Jin Shuyuan immediately decided to follow her to the mountains to teach, so she didn't even go to college.
In fact, for her now, she doesn't have much heart to continue studying, if it weren't for Zheng Yun's combination of soft and hard, she would probably have left school a long time ago.
When Zheng Yun heard this, he praised her for not studying in college, and coming here is more interesting than studying.
Jin Shuyuan heard this strangely, and couldn't say the reason, so she beat him again.
