Chapter 739: White Lotus County (Part II)
Chapter 739: Bailian County (II)
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Yongqi and his entourage, who stayed at the Chengdu Hotel, temporarily settled down. Although this is the first time to come to this important western town, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the three of them did not leave the hotel to visit, but obediently hid in the hotel to rest.www.biquge.info Before dinner, the local escort arranged by ZJ Media Group brought the other members who will act together tomorrow to the hotel to meet them. Naturally, Zhao Yongqi did not disappoint them, and directly set up a banquet in the hotel's restaurant, which was regarded as celebrating everyone's achievements in advance.
The spicy Sichuan cuisine made Zhao Yongqi, who is not very good at spicy food, sigh that it is delicious, and wrinkle his handsome face into a ball. On the contrary, Cheng He's mouth is full of oil, this foodie is really worthy of the name of a foodie, no matter what cuisine it is, it seems to be in line with his taste.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, when the genius was bright, the whole team had already begun to act. An off-road vehicle for guides, two commercial vehicles, a bus, a medium-sized truck loaded with supplies, and a satellite connection field broadcast vehicle sent by SC TV station to assist. The convoy of these vehicles had already left the hotel at the beginning of the morning and headed for a remote poverty-stricken county across the country, 300 kilometers away.
According to ZJ TV's plan, news about charity activities will be broadcast on the TV news tonight. If possible, it is best to have a live connection, so with the assistance of SC TV, there will be a live broadcast vehicle. To this end, SC TV station also specially dispatched three staff members who are responsible for operating the live broadcast car.
Each car has a driver who is familiar with the local road conditions, plus the ground escort and the pilot, as well as the personnel of the SC TV station, the members of the entire team have easily exceeded 30 people.
Zhao Yongqi and others sitting in the bus, after nearly eight hours of staggering, finally saw the small county town deep in the mountains on the steep winding mountain road.
"It's not an ordinary road. Cheng He thought about the mountain road he had just passed, with a mountain wall on one side and a cliff on the other, giving people the feeling that as long as there was a slight mistake, the whole car would roll down the mountain.
Xiao Baozi obviously also had the same idea as Cheng He, and she still had a little pale face, which could see the fear in her heart. At this moment, after listening to Cheng He's words, he nodded his head even more.
Zhao Yongqi was also a little scared at first, but he still admired the driver's driving skills more. Anyone who sees that on a sharp turn with only two lanes, turning around, and not even being able to see the road ahead, can still run at a speed of forty or fifty kilometers, especially when there are still cliffs around them, I am afraid that they will admire the courage and skill of the driver.
"Haha, the mountain road here is not bad, go a little to the south, there is a way into the town, then it is called a risk. "He looks like he is in his fifties, with dark skin and a wrinkled face, but his eyes are bright, and he looks very energetic.
"Uncle Ming, you often run here. Zhao Yongqi listened to Lei Ming's words and asked with interest.
"Hehe, I was born here when I was a child, but then I followed my family to Chengdu to earn a living. Lei Ming said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that this place is too poor and remote, this kind of place with beautiful mountains and rivers would be really comfortable to live in." ”
"Uncle Ming, tell us about this Bailian County. Xiao Baozi opened his big bright eyes, looked at Lei Ming, and said softly.
Looking at the beautiful girl, Lei Ming's resolute expression was also a little more relaxed, and he nodded with a smile and said, "There are about 30,000 people in this Bailian County. However, the vast majority of young people have gone out to work, and the vast majority of those who remain here are children, the elderly and women. The whole county is not big, and it is not comparable to those large counties in the central or eastern coasts. It is under the jurisdiction of a minority autonomous region, and 90 percent of the people living here are Qiang. If there's really anything to do here, it's the surrounding landscape. It's not that I'm boasting, the nearby mountains and rivers here, even if you compare them with the whole country, are all numbered. A few years ago, it was classified as a nature reserve, and now the government is also promoting local tourism resources, but it is too remote. As you can see, there is only one way to get in, and it is narrow and difficult to walk, so there are really few people who come here to travel. ”
Listening to Lei Ming's words, Zhao Yongqi couldn't help but nod secretly. Before, on the winding mountain road, you can clearly see that the scale of the county seat is indeed very small, and there are only four obvious roads in the shape of "well". However, the area around the small county town, which almost looks like a valley, can be seen in the lush jungle, and the scenery is indeed beautiful.
Lei Ming saw that the people in the car listened attentively, and immediately opened the chatterbox, and began to constantly introduce local characteristics, as well as some myths and legends, which can be regarded as a good promotion of his hometown.
As the vehicle had left the mountain road and slowly turned to a dirt road paved with asphalt, the outline of the small county town had already appeared in front of everyone's eyes. After more than half an hour's drive, about eight hours before and after, the entire convoy finally drove into the county seat. Until this moment, everyone knew why the TV station would let them rest for one night before setting off, after all, it would indeed be very risky to walk at night on such road conditions.
Just like Lei Ming once introduced, looking at the surrounding two or three storey, dilapidated houses, and the so-called main road with only two lanes, only enough for two vehicles to meet head-on, everyone has a general idea of the economic situation here.
Because it was close to three o'clock in the afternoon, although I didn't even have time to eat lunch, after asking Zhao Yongqi and the three of them for their opinions, the whole convoy still went directly in the direction of the primary school. After all, if it's late, all the children in the school should go home from school.
The primary school where the charity activities are carried out is not built on the side of the main road, but needs to be accessed through a small road that can only barely pass through vehicles. Obviously, the bus could not enter such a road, so the group simply parked all the vehicles at the intersection two or three hundred meters away from the primary school, except for the medium-sized truck that was transporting the supplies, everyone else got out of the car and walked to the primary school on foot.
At this time, the official shooting can be regarded as the beginning. The staff performed their duties, and Zhao Yongqi naturally played the role of the host, using the words he had just hearsay, to briefly introduce the small county town to the audience, and then shifted the focus to the school.
