The three of them walked slowly down the mountain, with the skills of Yang Luo and the ghost fox, they had to be careful when walking. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)

There was a desolation as far as the eye could see, so many mountains and deep depressions, not a single river, not even a stream or a small lake, and all the water was only rewarded by heaven. In such a barren land, I really don't know how the people living here have survived from generation to generation.

Yang Luo and the others finally walked down and happened to see a few little girls who were carrying water. In a low-lying area like a small pond, there was a little muddy rainwater, and the little girl scooped the water into a plastic pot little by little. After returning home, it will settle for a period of time before it can be used to cook and feed the livestock.

The ghost fox frowned and said, "Can you drink such water?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "If you can't drink it, you have to drink it." ”

Yang Luo walked over and looked at a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, very thin girl squatting there scooping water. Her head was shriveled and yellow, apparently malnourished.

Yang Luo squatted down: "Girl! What is your name? ”

The girl raised her head and said a little shyly, "My name is Ma Lian." ”

Yang Luo nodded: "Who are the people in the family?" ”

Ma Lian said while scooping water: "Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, sister, brother, sister, a total of eight people. ”

"Can I go to your house?" Yang Luo asked.

Ma Lian nodded silently and did not speak again.

Yang Luo stood up and glanced at several other girls, the eldest was only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was ** years old. The little faces were pitch black, and the hands holding the scoops were covered with dirt.

Yang Luo's psychology was sour, and when he looked at them, he couldn't help but think of his daughter who had only met once. Children are always the gentlest weakness in the hearts of parents. When it comes to children, every parent is full of warmth and doting, they are the treasure in the palm of their parents' hearts, holding them in their hands for fear of falling and holding them in their mouths for fear of melting. But in this poor and backward ravine, children are a heavy topic. Since childhood, they don't know what a computer is, what a mobile phone is, what a game is, or what an amusement park or zoo looks like. All they know is the mountains, the soil, the crops, and the fields. They began to worry about their livelihood at a very young age, they began to help their parents with farm work at a very young age, and they knew how to feel sorry for their parents and siblings at a very young age...... Despite their efforts, they often don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes.

The old man looked at the children, and his eyes contained helplessness, helplessness, and hatred for his own incompetence.

Ma Lian is 17 years old and a senior high school student at Dahua County No. 3 Middle School. Her grandfather is old this year, her family's conditions are the worst in the village, the family has little land, her mother is not in good health, she takes medicine all the year round, and his father only relies on that little land to support the whole family. But this child is competitive, has excellent grades since childhood, is relatively strong, can bear hardships and stand hard work, at the age of ten began to help others carry stones, as long as someone wants to build a new house, she will go over to help, in order to earn some money. Such a big stone, the foreman said that it could not be smashed, and if it was broken, he would have to pay for it. She was only ten years old, and she held the stone with her little hands, and carried it step by step with her belly. ”

Hearing this, the ghost fox hurriedly twisted his head to the side, raised his hand and wiped it from the corner of his eye.

Ma Lian smiled quietly when she heard the old man's words: "It's nothing, I can endure hardship." When I am admitted to university and find a job after graduation, my father will not have to work so hard, my mother will be able to go to the county hospital for medical treatment, and my younger siblings will be able to have money to study. ”

Yang Luo clenched his fists with both hands and took a deep breath: "If I can't let the people here be fed and clothed, and the children can afford to go to school, I, Yang Luo, will never leave here." ”

This is the second time that the old man has heard Yang Luo say such things, and he has no expression on his face, but he sighs in his heart.

"The living environment here is harsh, even the shrubs are difficult to survive, we can only grow crops in the cracks of the stones, rice is a luxury for us, the only thing we can eat, the only thing we can eat is drought-tolerant crops like corn and sweet potatoes. Sometimes it doesn't rain for a long time, and the corn harvest will be drought and lost. When the rain comes, the corn on the steep slopes is washed away, and it often lodging in patches, and after a month of rain, there will be no grain harvest in many places. No matter how hard the villagers work and save money, there are still often three or four months of the year when there is a shortage of food. And it's good to be able to eat corn, and some families don't even have corn. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations once visited the area, and they said that it was the most uninhabitable area outside of the desert.

More than 10 years ago, the prime minister came here, and after learning about the situation, he launched a poverty alleviation movement in a hurry. The roads were built at that time, and the electricity was also built at that time. However, due to too many natural constraints, to this day, the lives of ordinary people have not changed at all. It's not that we are not industrious, it's not that we are not enterprising, it's just that in such a harsh natural environment, we can't fight nature. ”

The ghost fox looked at Yang Luo and asked, "How do you want to help them?" Is it to give them all the money? ”

Yang Luo smiled, with a powerful momentum on his body, and his eyes flashed with confidence: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, it has not been shown for more than ten years, I can only say that the government is going in the wrong direction." It is estimated that they have been trying to find a way to deal with water and agriculture, but if they want to develop agriculture here, it is a dead end. ”

The ghost fox said, "You are so confident? ”

Yang Luo smiled: "There is no water here, we can dig a well or build a canal in the mountain to use those depressions to store water." It's okay if you don't have soil or trees......" Pointing to the mountains, "There are mountains here, and the so-called water is the water to eat the water, and the mountains are the mountains." Those stones may be worthless in the eyes of others, but they are all money in my eyes. In particular, the geography here, such a unique and magnificent natural landscape, is enough for people who like to travel and take adventures to come here with a lot of money. ”

Ten days ago, Yang Luo and Ghost Fox came to a village called Poma, and the primary school there was the only school in several nearby villages. The old man's name is Huang Dekui, and he is the only teacher in several villages here.

When Huang Dekui heard that Yang Luo had come to build Hope Primary School, he was moved to tears. Later, Yang Luo said that he would go to a nearby village for a walk, hoping that he could be a guide, Huang Dekui didn't say a word, and gave the children half a month's vacation.

Huang Dekui thought that Yang Luo and Ghost Fox were a couple, so he came here to fund Hope Primary School, and by the way, he took a look at the scenery here. After more than ten days of contact, Yang Luo and he talked about customs and customs, and nothing else.

When he was at the top of the mountain, Yang Luo said that he worked hard to make money for the people here, which made Huang Dekui very moved, but he was only moved. Just now, when I heard Yang Luo say that the people here must be fed and clothed, so that the children can afford to go to school, he just smiled. Because for more than ten years, the state and local governments have made great efforts here, but they are still very poor and have not improved at all. No matter how rich Yang Luo is, he can't change the one here.

Now hearing Yang Luo's words, the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly became very bright, and he grabbed Yang Luo's hand excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Comrade Yang Luo! You're so right. At that time, the government sent several exploration teams to explore the groundwater, but there was no result for more than a year. Later, I also thought about building a canal on the mountain, but the money allocated above was used to repair roads and lay cables, and there was no money to repair the canal. Agricultural experts have also been there, but nothing can be grown here except corn and sweet potatoes. After saying that, the old man cried with a headache, and the old man continued with tears: "Mr. Yang! Help us, it's really poor here. I don't care about anything anymore when I'm old, but those kids can't be hopeless. ”

Yang Luo felt that Huang Dekui's hand holding him was very tight, as if he wanted to transfer all the strength in his body to him.

"Don't worry, I Yang Luo will definitely be able to do what he says."

The ghost fox, the female devil who kills people without blinking, has red eyes, and she can't hold back her tears.

"Let's go, they're done with the water."

When Yang Luo and the others walked into the village, they saw that the adobe houses looked like they were hairless, and the sick dog was lying there, and there were cracks on their bodies. More often than notch, it was built of thatch and wooden blocks, with people living on top and livestock on the bottom. A real "airy", a house that is really in close contact with nature.

Outside an adobe house at the head of the village, a middle-aged man in his forties squatted in the corner of the wall smoking a dry cigarette, wearing shabby clothes that were hard to discern the color, and a group of children playing on the side.

When they saw Huang Dekui, several children shouted for the teacher, but their eyes kept looking at Yang Luo and the ghost fox, looking very excited, jumping up and down for a while, and laughing for a while. Obviously, strangers rarely come here.

Yang Luo was led by Ma Lian to her home, which is also an adobe house, and the outside wall has been beaten by decades of wind and rain, but you can still vaguely see the handwriting of the Communist Party of China.

When I entered the house, I saw that the roof was very broken, and it would leak on rainy days, and there was a basin on it to catch water. The middle of the room is separated by planks, and each room has a bed made of planks. Yang Luo glanced at it, this was the real home with four walls, and there was not even a bench in the house.

Yang Luo turned around and came to the kitchen, saying that it was a kitchen, that is, a low stove was built in the backyard, and a wooden stake stood around it, on which was plastic sheeting. In one corner, there are a few sun-dried winter melons and potatoes and a small bag of cornmeal.

Yang Luo looked at Ma Lian: "Where do you live?" ”

Ma Lian pointed to the right side of the kitchen, where there was a house made of a few planks and plastic, no, it should be a shack.

Yang Luo walked in and saw that it was very large, and the bed was covered with exposed cotton wool, some dirty quilts and mattresses.

Yang Luo lifted the quilt, and where was the bed below, there were a few big stones. Yang Luo felt panicked when he sat on it, and he really didn't know how Ma Lian slept here.

Ma Lian said with a smile: "Our four sisters and brothers all live here. ”

Yang Luo didn't say a word, stood up and walked out. Out of Ma Lian's house, I didn't expect that there were many people standing outside, and all the old people in the village came to watch Yang Luo and Ghost Fox, two outsiders.

An old woman in her seventies walked over behind the crowd, and Ma Lian saw the old woman hurriedly walking over to help.

"Grandma! Why is grandpa not at home? ”

The old woman grinned, revealing her bare teeth: "Go to your grandfather Zhao's house in the east of the village." After speaking, he looked at Huang Dekui, "Teacher Huang, these two babies are really good-looking, they are relatives of your family." ”

Huang Dekui was a little embarrassed, and Yang Luo smiled: "Grandma! I am Mr. Huang's distant nephew, and I haven't been in touch for many years, so this time I came to visit him and take a look at the scenery here. ”

The old woman smiled and said, "There is no scenery here, except for the mountain and the pit." ”

Yang Luo smiled slightly, his eyes kept looking at a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and what shocked him was that the girl was still holding the baby in her arms and was breastfeeding the baby.

Ma Lian said softly: "That's my classmate, 16 years old this year, and the doll is almost a year old." We don't have money to go to school, so we can only get married, and those who marry have babies early. Ma Lian said very calmly, but Yang Luo could feel the unwillingness in this girl's heart.
