Chapter 461 Dam Village

Soon after leaving the county seat, the lush mountain forests blocked the road.

Pack your bags and pick up your sticks, and Luke leads the way.

It is only a few tens of kilometers in a straight line, but in reality, it takes more than three hours to reach the destination.

Before setting off, everyone had already made preparations, but in fact, only an hour after entering the mountain, Shang Tiejun felt that his body was exhausted, and he had to stop the team to rest.

Facing Shang Tiejun, who was sweating profusely and panting, although Hu Yan was not tired, it could be seen that he still felt embarrassed about his miserable situation, and went up to twist his ears and complained that he usually lacked exercise, which was too embarrassing!

With a shake of his head, Shang Tiejun said helplessly. "Hey, I said, I'm walking on a mountain road now, how can it be the same as the big road I walk on weekdays......"

Luke walked over and said with a smile. "This is normal, the first time I walked this kind of mountain road, I couldn't even hold on for an hour and I couldn't stop and rest, the mountain road is not as flat as the ground, and the body consumption is very large!"

Taking out a towel to wipe his sweat, Shang Tiejun asked. "Hey, wouldn't it be faster if you walked alone?"

"I'm used to it, I weighed seventy kilograms before I came, and now I'm only fifty-five kilograms, but I feel that my body is better than before, and my endurance has improved a lot, otherwise I can't survive in the mountains, not to mention that sometimes it's still sunny days here, but it rains heavily in an hour......!

Listening to Luke's introduction, Fu Zhengyi, who was dragged by Sophia to sit on the side of the road to rest, saw that the reporter George and the bearded photographer didn't even sweat much, so he gave them a thumbs up.

Reporter George was a little puzzled, but the bearded photographer understood what he meant, and picked up the camera hanging on his chest to take a picture of him and Sophia, but Fu Zhengyi immediately raised his hand to cover his face, so he shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "I've been working with George for many years, and this kind of mountain trail is nothing, but if you need to live in this kind of place for a long time, you can't stand it......"

Since Shang Tiejun still needed to rest for a while, Fu Zhengyi asked about the specific situation of Luke being taken away by the Aoki County Public Security Bureau before, and after learning that the two policemen also walked into the mountains on foot and took Luke out, it was a little strange that the local public security had an unimaginable sense of responsibility.

"What a sense of responsibility, it's not money that is causing trouble!"

Saying that, he raised his hand and made a 'twisting money' gesture, Liu Dahai pouted. "Half of the fine of 3,000 yuan will be handed over to the county public security bureau, and the policemen who go to the police can also get a reward of several hundred yuan, so there will be people who are willing to go into the mountain, otherwise they will not be willing to do this work if they are killed......"

Shang Tiejun was stunned. "Isn't it?

"What's not, it's like this in remote areas, except for those serious criminal cases that must be policed, otherwise there are not many mountain roads in the jurisdiction, how can it be the police of the county public security bureau who are dispatched, not the police in the town?"

Shang Tiejun slapped his thigh and said angrily. "These bastards! Wearing a police uniform is really embarrassing to the police, the Education Bureau is making them accomplices, if you hadn't solved the problem with a phone call, wouldn't Luke have to pay a fine to get out?"

"There's no way, there are so many establishments, many areas are deep in the mountains and old forests, and the police need to consider safety when they go in, otherwise they can't afford the pension alone, and there is no way to deal with it like this, and the provincial department can only turn a blind eye ......."

Since it was a private discussion, Fu Zhengyi had no scruples, and asked Liu Dahai directly. "Financial allocations, fines from the traffic police department, and case-handling funds in economic investigation, can't so many normal channels be satisfied?"

"No, the financial can only meet the basic salary, if you want to have good welfare, you can only think of other ways, this side is not better than the east, the development of the economy itself is very slow, if you don't do a little crooked, you can't even make a difference, the detection rate required above is on the table, and no one dares to touch the high-voltage line......"

He is in the system, and Shang Tiejun has also heard of some things, so he couldn't help but nod when he heard this, turned his face and asked Fu Zhengyi. "Justice, if the matter about the abduction and trafficking of women and children is completed, do you think we can consider getting rid of it?"

"How even? You are not flamboyant enough? If you are a little more serious, you should ask how much you want to win over, what do you want to do......

Thinking about it, isn't it death to give bonuses to all public security?

Shang Tiejun smacked, and stopped talking.

Forty minutes later, the group continued on the road under Luke's leadership, and the winding mountain road continued under their feet, wading through streams, over ridges, through dense forests, and over two seemingly dangerous but actually solid suspension bridges, barely reaching the dam before dark.

It is a township, but from a distance, it is a small village built on the hills, and the smoke of cooking is rising from the wooden houses and adobe houses scattered among the terraced fields, and Luke, who was found by the children playing, was sent to the village chief's house in a cluster.

In the shamia, you will not get a good harvest by planting anything.

Therefore, it is impossible for the mountain people here to get together to build houses and live.

The fire was lit, and although the slightly damp firewood raised the temperature in the room, it was followed by choking smoke and flying soot.

Luke was accustomed to this kind of life, and sat cross-legged on a rattan mat, briefly told the villagers who had gathered around him about his ordeal, and then began to talk about the meaning of letting the children go to school again.

The hospitable villagers are enthusiastic and enthusiastic, but the food brought over shocked Hu Yan, who is used to eating Western food, if it weren't for Shang Tiejun's stubborn head to carry the bowl and move the chopsticks, it is estimated that Hu Yan would rather be hungry than touch the black-looking dishes and chopsticks.

Boiled bamboo shoots in water, cold wild vegetables, roasted sweet potato leaves, there is no meat and fish, and some are just a little lard taste.

Before he came, Fu Zhengyi really didn't believe that this dam village would be poor like this, but now that he was eating the rustling rice and chewing the food with only a little salt, he realized that what he saw was real.

After the meal, the villagers brought their own rice wine, and the faint aroma of the wine spread in the hall.

Drinking rice wine with Xichuan's unique kimchi, Fu Zhengyi felt both ridiculous and sad.

He dragged Luke out and asked him what he was going to do.

"Actually, I was blown away by a former township, because I persuaded a family to send their child to school, but I didn't expect the child to fall down the mountain and break his leg because of the slippery road in the rain......

"Why is this happening? It's not your fault!"

"It's also a mountainous area over there, and if the children don't go to school, they can help the family cut some goose grass and chop some firewood, which is more or less a laborer, but because of me, his family not only has less help, but also needs to borrow money from everywhere for the children's treatment, so it's understandable that they are angry......

At this point, Luke scratched his head a little embarrassed, looked up at the moon peeking out of the clouds, thought for a moment, and added. "Also, the child needs to leave home two hours before going to school, not only has to cross a mountain, but also needs to cross a river, as long as the rain is heavy, the river can't be crossed, so no matter from which point of view, unless the child lives in school, there is really no way to guarantee safety......"

On the way here, Fu Zhengyi already had a draft, so he asked when he learned that Luke not only wanted to let the children in the mountains go to school and acquire knowledge, but also hoped that these children could master some survival skills through his teachings. "Luke, if you were to build a Hope Elementary School in Aoki County with you as the principal, would you be willing to stay here for a few more years?"

"Formal school?"

Seeing Fu Zhengyi's affirmative nod, Luke grabbed his hand and said in surprise. "That's great! The classroom here is a dilapidated building, and as long as it rains, I have to take the children out quickly, because I am worried that one day the house will collapse and something will happen......

Luke's palms were full of calluses, Fu Zhengyi had seen his personal information, knowing that he was highly educated in Germany and had a stable job, but because of his travel to China, he had the idea of coming here to teach, and he broke up with his girlfriend who had been talking for several years, and came here alone, living a poor life completely different from before, just because of good thoughts, because of forbearance, because of a promise!

"Fu, although I am very grateful that you are willing to build a school here, but I am neither qualified to apply for a work permit nor be qualified to be a principal, what I am doing now is to awaken the expectations of the mountain people for their children, so that they can agree to send their children to the school to learn knowledge......

"Don't worry! No matter what the documents are, someone will help you get them right, all you need is to choose a good school site and wait for the construction team to come and start work!"

Patting Luke on the shoulder, Fu Zhengyi walked into the hall under his suspicious gaze, and asked after calling Shang Tiejun out. "Are you interested in setting up a construction company here?"

Shang Tiejun was happy at first, but then he had a bitter face. "Build a house, I won't......"

"It's okay, I'll find someone who understands architecture and knows how to build a house to partner with you, how about starting with building a regular elementary school?"

Knowing that Fu Zhengyi was not joking, the overjoyed Shang Tiejun hesitated for a moment before rubbing his hands and saying. "Justice, but, but I don't have much money to invest in it......" (To be continued.) )
