This kind of driving experience is the first time Chen Xin has encountered, she has only heard such things on the forum before, many people think it is a lie, but after experiencing it personally, I know that if you don't get off the car, it is impossible for a heavy-duty long-distance bus to drive through this section of the road full of deep potholes.

"The brick factory's big truck crushes the road like this, and no one cares?"

"Why doesn't anyone take care of it? After more than a month of repair, it will rot again, and the local treasury has no money, and the brick factory is still a big taxpayer here, and if it is shut down, the tax revenue will be gone, where will the money come from? Anyway, those cadres will not take this road. ”

"It's also because it's raining, so it's a little better if there's no water. Some time ago, I heard that the brick factory also thought of some ways to mix crushed stones with coal slag, but when it rained, the car was pressed again, and it was open. ”

Chen Xin carried her bag and followed the people in the car along the side of the road cautiously forward, and the long distance behind them was wading through mud puddles at turtle speed.

I walked for more than 20 minutes to walk this mile, and I also encountered a series of incidents such as car skidding in the middle.

After getting in the car and walking for another hour, she finally arrived at the county seat she was going to.

said that it was a county seat, so small that it was not as good as a village and town in her impression. There are two major roads in the whole county, which are crossed diagonally. She directly found the best guest house in the county, and when she went in, she felt a rare feeling of regret spreading.

Luckily, you need to spend the night here, and the next day you can go to the attractions and go straight from the attractions to another city at night.

The county seat here is just a necessary transit, and there is nothing to introduce, and this is the first time she has seen what a national-level poverty-stricken county is.

The so-called state-level poverty-stricken counties that I used to know, the building of the county party committee and county government was quite similar, but this county government building did not look like a government office at all, the old red brick small second floor, hung a few signboards and door numbers, but the flower bed in front of the small building was very good, I heard the sister of the guest house say that the small garden did not invite people, and the cadres in the government took care of it in their spare time.

Chen Xin casually glanced at the noodles at the front desk when she was eating them, and she didn't take it to heart.

Early the next morning, she went out to catch the car, walked a little faster, and almost collided with someone.

"Lesbian, be careful, did you hit it?"

Chen Xin was stunned, this "lesbian" felt so strange, she had basically never been called like this. However, seeing that the other party was wearing an ordinary black Chuck jacket and ordinary black large-framed glasses, his attitude was very gentle, and he looked like an old cadre, Chen Xin was also relieved.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to catch the car and hit you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're okay, right?"

The man smiled and said that it was okay, and then looked at Chen Xin, saying that she didn't look like a local, and asked if she was here for a tourist?

"Yes, I heard that you have an ancient village on the mountain here, which is very distinctive, so I came over to take a look. ”

When the man heard this, he was very interested, and said that he was going to go that way too, and asked Chen Xin if he would like to take a ride.

Chen Xin was a little hesitant, she thought that people she didn't know would be either traitors or thieves if she didn't know anyone else! But looking at this person, she didn't look like a bad person, and she didn't know if she could trust the other party.

"Director Chu, the car is ready and ready to go. ”

As he was talking, a person ran out of the side door of the government compound next to him, glanced at Chen Xin in surprise, and spoke respectfully to the old comrade.

The county magistrate said that he planned to go to the provincial capital again, and this time he would ask Director Chu to bother more when he went to Xixiang. ”

"Secretary Huang, is there anyone else who went to Xixiang this time besides me and Township Chief Tong?"

"No more. ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, Director Chu sent another invitation to Chen Xin. Chen Xin thought about it, agreed, and followed them into the parking lot behind the government compound.

I went to Saigo and drove an old-fashioned jeep, which was 60% new. The driver was a young man in his thirties, and when he saw Chen Xin coming in with Director Chu, he glanced at Secretary Huang a little blindly.

Secretary Huang didn't understand what Director Chu was thinking, but he had an advantage that he wouldn't talk much, so although he added someone temporarily, he also helped Chen Xin put his luggage in the car with a very gentle attitude.

Tong Xiangchang is about the same age as Director Chu, but the whole person looks a lot more vicissitudes, especially the lines on the eyebrows have been deeply imprinted, and it looks like they are wrinkled anytime and anywhere.

Tong Xiangchang had a loud voice, and when he saw Director Chu bring a female comrade he didn't know into the car, his eyebrows became heavier.

"Director Chu, we're going to Xixiang, what is this female comrade doing?"

She also went to Saigo, just along the way, and took it with her. ”

Hearing that it was brought by the way, Township Chief Tong didn't say anything, he still knew that he was kind to others, and they were in this poor and remote place, and they passed by once a week, and the long-distance buses along the way passed by, but there were only two shifts a day, and if you missed it, you had to wait for a day.

Township Chief Tong came to the county this time to ask for help. He was talking about the village all the way, and Chen Xin listened to a few words, as if because of the problem of water sources, the villages of two different nationalities opposed each other and fought in groups. Both villages belong to Xixiang, and in addition to these two ethnic minorities, there are three other ethnic groups in Xixiang, and the situation is very complicated. If this matter is not handled well, it is likely to make a big fuss, and it is still a trivial matter to be blamed and punished by the superiors at that time, and it is a big problem to hurt people's lives.

Chen Xin didn't open her mouth very well, pricked up her ears and listened all the way, and she was also analyzing quickly in her heart. It should be because there was not much rain some time ago, and then the river was cut off, and the village downstream looked up when it was wrong, and when I saw the village, I found that they actually built a dam to stop someone, and now it will not work, and the two sides have injured a few people in the fight. Fortunately, there were also young people on both sides who knew the law and helped each other to dissuade the villagers, and they promptly notified the township cadres.

The head of Tong Township went to see it before, and also persuaded the village to knock down the dam and release the water, but the people disagreed, saying that if the water was released, they would have no water to use, and the grain and trees on the mountain would die.

This side is already poor, and a little food is the life of a family, and to take water in their hands is to take their lives.

Originally, under the persuasion of the township cadres, it had gradually calmed down, but one night the people who were keeping vigil on the other side of the village caught a villager downstream, and the person still had pesticides in his hand.

"The man said that the pesticide he was holding in his hand was not to poison the water source, but to poison the water rats, but everyone knew that there was no water downstream, how could there be water rats, so now this person is being locked up in the police station in the township, and we are also protecting him, if he is let out, he will definitely be killed. ”
