Xiao Ping's first stop was a village called Wulin Village.

The village is located in a valley between two hills, and there are about 100 or so families. Because of the surrounding mountains, there is little land to cultivate, and there is not enough water nearby, so the villagers can only grow drought-tolerant crops such as potatoes and corn, so the conditions are very difficult.

These were all introduced to everyone by Fang Qiang, who was the guide, before he set off, and Xiao Ping also listened to them at that time. Although he was already mentally prepared, when he really came to Wulin Village, he was still stunned by the poverty situation in front of him.

There are dozens of dilapidated houses in the village, most of them are old brick houses, some even have thatched roofs, and as for the buildings with more than two floors, there are only two in the whole village.

Just like Fang Qiang said, almost all the strong laborers in the village have gone to work outside the mountain, and those who remain are old, young, sick and disabled. There is still more than a month before the Spring Festival, and the young people who went out to work have not returned. The people in the village are old and small, which makes people feel that the village is even more dilapidated.

What surprised Xiao Ping even more was that the children here were dressed very thinly. Many children look like they are not yet old enough to go to school, often wearing only a few single clothes, and even wearing open-toe sandals on their feet. You must know that it is already winter in the road, and the temperature in the mountains is much cooler than in the plains. Even Xiao Ping has put on a sweater, and it is impossible to say that these children are not cold.

Looking at the poverty of Wulin Village, Xiao Ping's heart was not very comfortable, and even Zhao Xue became silent. As for the kind-hearted Li Wanqing, her eyes were even more red, and she immediately organized everyone to start distributing the charity materials she brought.

Wu Youcai, the head of Wulin Village, has already received a call and has begun to summon villagers to the barn at the entrance of the village to collect charity materials. At this time, some villagers had already gathered in the threshing field. They all watched expectantly as Xiao Ping and the others moved things down the truck.

Li Wanqing, with the cooperation of Fang Qiang and Wu Youcai, began to distribute charity materials to the villagers who had already arrived. Considering that the targets of this operation are relatively poor. Therefore, the materials prepared are mainly daily necessities, hoping to solve everyone's urgent needs.

Each household receives a uniform amount of rice, flour and cooking oil. In addition, there are 200 yuan in cash, so that each child will also get a set of school supplies and a brand new down jacket.

Maybe in Xiao Ping's eyes, this little thing is nothing at all. But in the eyes of the impoverished villagers of Wulin Village, the foundation's move is definitely a big deal. Many villagers were moved to tears after leading the charity materials. Xiao Ping was behind Li Wanqing to help hand over things, and seeing the grateful expressions of these villagers, he felt for the first time that doing charity was such a meaningful thing.

And Zhao Xue next to her was not idle. She took out all the snacks she had brought with her and distributed them to the children in the village. Seeing the satisfied expressions on the children's faces as they ate their snacks, the girl couldn't help but smile happily.

Of course, the situation on Zhao Xue's side could not escape Xiao Ping's eyes. Looking at the girl's happy smile, Xiao Ping couldn't help but sigh that this little girl was indeed quite kind, and he knew her a little better.

Wulin Village has a small population, but after a little more than an hour, the distribution of charity supplies came to an end. Although Wu Youcai tried his best to keep everyone to stay for dinner, Li Wanqing still politely refused the kindness of the village chief and continued to march deeper into the mountains. As for everyone's lunch, just eat some dry food in the car and it will be solved.

Continuing deeper into the mountains from Wulin Village, the road is even more difficult. The original road was potholed. But it can still be seen that it is an asphalt road, but from Wulin Village onwards, it is completely dirt road. Maybe it was raining just a few days ago, and the road was muddy. There are many places where there are ponds of unknown depth.

In order to ensure the safe passage, Xiao Ping didn't dare to be careless, he was eating dry food with bread in his mouth. At the same time, be cautious in your direction and avoid obstacles on the road ahead that seem dangerous.

Just when Xiao Ping was engrossed in the direction of the side. Suddenly felt a light in his mouth, and the bread he was holding had been taken away by Zhao Xue beside him.

didn't wait for Xiao Ping to speak. Zhao Xue was already frowning and said: "Look at you as an adult, what kind of bread you look like with a loaf in your mouth, even I feel ashamed for you! I'll hold it for you, and if you want to eat, you can talk!"

In fact, if there were no other two people in the car, the girl would not only not help Xiao Ping get bread, but would even seize this opportunity to laugh at him. However, now that there are "outsiders" present, Zhao Xue unconsciously maintains his image.

Xiao Ping is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and he knows that Zhao Xue has a good intention, so he won't say anything. He concentrated on bypassing the big pit in front of him, and then motioned to Zhao Xue to eat bread himself.

The usually brutal and willful girl seemed very gentle at this time, and carefully put the bread to Xiao Ping's mouth and let him take a bite. When he swallowed the bread in his mouth, Zhao Xue intimately fed Xiao Ping water, without taking the two colleagues in the back seat in his eyes at all, as if she and Xiao Ping were a couple in love.

Although this meal was shabby, it made Xiao Ping rarely experience Zhao Xue's gentleness, and it also had a unique style.

The road was difficult, and the convoy moved more slowly. In the evening of the same day, Xiao Ping's group drove more than 20 kilometers and ran to two villages.

It was too unsafe to travel at night in such road conditions, so everyone stayed in the village and continued to the next village early tomorrow morning to distribute supplies.

In order not to cause trouble to the villagers, Li Wanqing was responsible for all other aspects, including eating, in addition to staying overnight at their house. The staff of the charity foundation are so strict with themselves, which also touches the village chief. The village chief is an honest old man, and he doesn't know what else Lu Dao can say to express his feelings, but he rubs his hands vigorously and says, "How does this make it, how does this make ......"

Although the local conditions were not good, everyone was tired all day, so they all slept soundly that night. The next morning, when the big rooster in the village reported the dawn, Xiao Ping and the others got up and prepared to leave.

In the next few days, Xiao Ping and his people have been running around the mountains, sending charity materials to several villages. At the same time, Li Wanqing and others also identified a place to build a health and medical station, and when the health and medical station here is completed, the surrounding villagers will have some headaches and brain fever, so they will not have to travel long distances to the county health center to see a doctor, which can bring great convenience to their lives.

As time went by, more and more villages were assisted by Xiao Ping's people, and only the last small village called Yangshan Village was left unvisited.

Yangshan Village is located deep in the mountains, and the road conditions here are so bad that the trucks can't drive at all, only Xiao Ping's pickup truck and the Land Rover off-road vehicle can continue to move forward.

Haoyangshan Village has a small population, and with the capacity of a pickup truck, it can load all the charity supplies. And in such bad road conditions, the power of modified pickup trucks has also been officially reflected. Although it still carries hundreds of kilograms of cargo more than the Land Rover, it is better in terms of climbing and off-road ability. On several occasions, even the Land Rover got stuck in the mud and relied on pickups to pull it out.

The pickup truck was driven by a man in his thirties, he was the owner of a company, and the couple were both very enthusiastic about charity, and this time the two of them came together to do charity. Seeing that Xiao Ping's pickup truck was so powerful, he couldn't help but move his mind. I have asked Xiao Ping where he modified the pickup. Just wait for the end of this charity action, go to the car repair shop belonging to Ye Dexiang and renovate the Land Rover.

The pickup truck and Land Rover made their way down a bumpy dirt road, stopping at a suspension bridge at the end.

The suspension bridge is located over a river valley flanked by towering cliffs and a rushing river flowing through the valley bottom. Although it is the dry season of winter, the river is still very abundant, and the rushing water is really scary to look at.

As a guide, Fang Qiang got off the station at the head of the bridge, pointed to the winding path on the opposite side and said to everyone: "Yangshan Village is on the opposite side of the bridge, and it will take less than half an hour to walk along that road." ”

Although Yangshan Village is almost here, Fang Qiang told everyone last night that the car can only drive to the suspension bridge, and the next road will have to rely on walking.

Although the population of Yangshan Village is not large, because it is the poorest village on this trip, Li Wanqing also deliberately prepared some more supplies. According to the prior arrangement, everyone had to carry some of the supplies into the village here, and then take the villagers out to carry some of them, so as to complete the work of the last leg as soon as possible, and rush back to the village where they stayed last night before dark.

Everyone had known about this arrangement for a long time, and at this time they came to the pickup truck and began to help each other carry the charity materials.

As the most powerful member of the team, Xiao Ping has the most things on his back. Two bags of rice and a strip of flour, and two barrels of cooking oil in his hand. If it weren't for the fear of reciting too much and arousing the suspicion of others, Xiao Ping's back could at least double the number of things he carried. The others also carried their charity supplies on their backs and walked towards the suspension bridge one after another.

Although everyone has worked very hard in the past few days, because Xiao Ping personally sponsored a batch of health oral liquid to this operation, so that everyone involved in this operation can take two bottles a day, so everyone's physical strength and mental state are maintained well. Even if they carried a lot of things, no one felt particularly tired, and everyone's steps were quite brisk.

Anyway, there is only one path leading to Yangshan Village, so there is no need to worry about getting lost, so Xiao Ping took the lead, followed by Zhao Xue with several sets of study supplies and a large number of snacks.

The two had barely walked on the drawbridge when a man emerged from behind the bushes on the other side of the drawbridge. Xiao Ping saw this person's appearance clearly, and immediately involuntarily changed his face. (To be continued......)
