Yan Zhu was helpless about Li Yan's behavior of climbing up the pole, who told him to have a good face, and put on a bold appearance to send out an invitation.

Although it's just a polite word, if people take it seriously, you can only pinch your nose and admit it.

Successfully pitted this old classmate, Li Yan was secretly happy in his heart, he didn't want to take advantage of anything, but planned to let Yan Zhu be his guide.

Old classmates who haven't seen each other for many years meet, there are many topics to talk about, and forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the two got off at Dongping Railway Station.

Standing at the door of the railway station, Li Yan entered the live broadcast room and shouted to Mai: "Is Ma Tao Lao Tie here?" The anchor's current location is Dongping County Railway Station, with the change of dynasties, Beitang Town is now under the jurisdiction of Dongping County, and my next destination is Beitang Town. ”

Ma Tao, the county magistrate of Funing County, has always had a wish, that is, he wants to go back to his hometown to see, and he soon came up: "Thank you Xiaoshuai anchor for completing this wish for the old man, the old man is grateful!"

After posting the comment, he directly rewarded a big sword as a thank you gift.

Yan Zhu, who was on the side, leaned over half of his body and asked in surprise, "Are you still playing live broadcast?"

"No way, life is difficult, earn some pocket money. ”

Li Yan casually said perfunctory, and moved the phone away without a trace, so as not to be discovered by the other party.

There are many private cars soliciting customers at the entrance of the railway station, which can go to various towns under the jurisdiction of Dongping County, and under the leadership of Yan Zhu, the two got into a Jinbei van.

seems to have some friendship with the driver, after Yan Zhu got in the car, he chatted with the driver without saying a word, and Li Yan pointed the mobile phone lens out of the window, so that the audience in the live broadcast room could feel the modern scenery more intuitively.

If other anchors do the same live broadcast, they will definitely be scolded to death by the audience, but Li Yan's live broadcast room is different, the audience is full of curiosity about anything modern and wants to see everything.

It took nearly 50 minutes from Dongping Railway Station to Beitang Town, and the surrounding landscape has changed from high-rise buildings in the county town to red brick and cement houses, and occasionally one or two European-style villas can be seen.

As a former head of the family in Funing County, Ma Tao deeply feels that compared with his time, the people now live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about food and clothing.

After getting out of the van, Yan Zhu hesitated for a moment, his expression was slightly embarrassed: "Li Yan, the main purpose of my coming back this time is to visit my grandmother, who is hospitalized in the town hospital. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Yan suddenly understood what he meant, Yan Zhu was definitely going to the hospital for a while, and it was not appropriate to take him as an old classmate.

Nodding, Li Yan said: "Then you go and get busy first, I'll find a hotel to settle down in first, and I'll send you the address later." ”

In a small place like the township, there is no decent hotel, Li Yan casually found a hotel that looked relatively clean and hygienic, and decided to spend the night here first, and then go to Majia Village tomorrow.

Soon it was time for lunch, and Li Yan was about to go to a fast food restaurant to deal with a casual meal, when Yan Zhu's phone call asked him to go to his grandparents' house as a guest.

Within a few minutes, I saw Yan Zhu riding an electric donkey to the door of the hotel, but looking at his expression, his face was sad and preoccupied.

Maybe he encountered something troublesome, Li Yan didn't ask much, and sat on the back seat of the electric donkey.

Yan Zhu's grandparents are natives of Beitang Town, living in a large courtyard, which covers an area of more than 200 square meters, and from an economic point of view, this yard alone is worth a lot of money.

The process of urbanization is accelerating, many towns and villages are engaged in development, and the price of land is rising, and the land of this old house is definitely worth more than 780,000 yuan.

Seeing Yan Zhu's elderly grandparents, Li Yan looked puzzled, wasn't his grandmother hospitalized in the town hospital, why did she go home?

After casually asking, Yan Zhu told Li Yan the truth that his grandmother had advanced stomach cancer, and even the hospital in the provincial capital had no surgery, and basically sentenced the old man to death.

Since death is not far away, instead of living in a hospital full of the smell of disinfectant all day long, it is better to return to your own home, which can be regarded as a return to the roots.

No wonder Yan Zhu looked sad, Li Yan could feel it, he had a very good relationship with his grandparents, and grief was inevitable.

According to the hospital's report, the old man's body will last for another three or four months at most, and Yan Zhu has decided to put down his business first, live here during this time, and accompany his grandmother to complete the last journey of his life.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, hearing, inquiring, and seeing, Li Yan got the true biography of Li Shizhen, and naturally saw that the old man had run out of oil, and even if Bian Que Huatuo was alive, he was powerless to return to the sky.

Patting Yan Zhu on the shoulder, Li Yan comforted: "Look at it, death is not as terrible as imagined, but I just went to another world." ”

Rubbing his sour eyes, Yan Zhu suddenly asked, "Do you say that there is really a hell in this world?" I was so scared of ghosts before I mentioned them, but now I hope that there are really ghosts in the world, so that even if my grandmother is gone, she will exist in another way." ”

Li Yan had been puzzled by this question in the past, but since he became the anchor of the live broadcast room in the underworld, he has an accurate answer.

"The underworld does exist, the legendary Meng Po and Black and White Impermanence are real people, and after death, ghosts will go to the underworld to be reincarnated, which is equivalent to the continuation of another life. ”

Hearing him say it so surely, Yan Zhu only thought that Li Yan was comforting himself, and didn't take what he said to heart.

During lunch, Li Yan casually chatted about Majia Village, and learned a major news from Yan Zhu's grandfather.

As early as a few years ago, the outbreak of avian flu in Majia Village was serious, and many people died of the disease, plus last year's flash flood and mudslide, most of Majia Village was submerged, and now there are almost no people left in that village.

Li Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He rushed all the way here to help Ma Tao County Order fulfill his last wish, so that he could feel at ease in the underworld, but if he told him the real situation, how could he settle down?

After eating lunch, Li Yan said goodbye to Yan Zhu, changed his original mind, and went to Majia Village that afternoon.

As Yan Zhu's grandfather said, the entire Majia Village has been devastated by avian flu and flash floods and mudslides, and the area near the foot of the mountain is in ruins.

When the mudslide first broke out, it was the middle of the lunch break, and many people were swallowed up by the mud and rocks before they could react, and the scene was very miserable.

Some families have not even survived the disaster, the population of the village has plummeted by one-third, and with the addition of young and middle-aged people who have gone out to work, there are now only a few dozen elderly and weak women and children left in the village.

Looking at the rubble, Li Yan felt very uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, he thought that Ma Tao was qualified to know the truth.

Online again, Li Yan said with a heavy heart: "Ma Tao Lao Tie, I have arrived at Majia Village, the land standing at my feet was originally supposed to be the Ma family ancestral hall, but it was washed away by the flood on the mountain the year before last, and the economic conditions in the village are not very good, so I am unable to rebuild the ancestral hall." ”

I thought that Ma Tao would be extremely sad, but after he was silent for a while, he said in the comments: "Everything is fate, Xiaoshuai anchor doesn't know, as early as when the official was in charge, Majia Village became rich by logging, many villagers were carried away by wealth, and cut down large areas of mountains and forests, and there was a landslide at that time, but I didn't expect future generations to learn a lesson, and now they repeat the same mistakes......"

There is actually such a thing, Li Yan walked to a high place, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and sure enough, he found that the grass and trees were sparse.

In recent years, the state has attached great importance to the protection of mountains and forests, and does not allow arbitrary felling, and if there are no legal restrictions, I am afraid that these villagers will be even more unscrupulous to cut down trees and sell them for money.

Li Yan suddenly remembered that he had studied political philosophy in high school, and that the connection was universal, and that some natural disasters were not caused by man-made, such as the mudslide, if it had not been over-cut, how could it have today's tragic consequences.

cut down trees and sold them for money, built luxury villas, bought private cars, and as a result, a mudslide and everything returned to before liberation, and some people even took their lives, is it worth it?

With the help of the mobile phone lens, after seeing the bleak scene around him, Ma Tao hated iron and said: "If you don't have children, you can't even keep the ancestral ancestral hall, it's really a shame to lose our face, and I also ask Xiaoshuai anchor to help these shallow juniors in Majia Village!"

"Ma County's order is too high, and he looks down on Xiaoshuai. Li Yan smiled bitterly twice and said: "Xiaoshuai is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself, although he has a little spare money on hand, but if he wants to revitalize a village, it is as difficult as the blue sky!"

Ma Tao also knew that his request was too strong, but after all, he was the ancestor of the Ma family, and he couldn't bear to see his descendants live so miserably.
