"What do you mean, old village chief?"

After listening to the old village chief's words, Mu Yanbing was stunned, "What do you mean by evaporating and disappearing in the world?" ”

"The county seat of Nalin is not very far from the village, and in one day, you can come back." The old village chief said calmly: "Sanmaozai's father, after going to the county seat, there has been no news back. A few months later, Sanmaozai's mother was not at ease and went to the county seat to look for a few days. But there was no news at all. ”

"Later, there was really no choice but to call the police. But after some investigation, the police found that Sanmaozai's father did appear in the county, and according to some clues, they found a rental house on the outskirts of the county, and in the rental room, a body that had long been decomposed was found......"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Mu Yanbing was suddenly taken aback, and her pretty face turned pale, "Could it be Sanmaozai's father?" ”

"Ugh." The old village chief nodded, and said with a sad face: "The police notified Sanmaozai's mother to go to the autopsy, anyway, the clothes worn by the deceased are indeed Sanmaozai's father's ......."

"So what the hell is going on? Why do people die when they are good? Mu Yanbing asked excitedly.

"After the analysis of the police, it was speculated that Sanmaozai's father died of carbon monoxide poisoning because he lit a fire in the rental house to keep warm."

The old village chief let out a long sigh.

"Oh, I see." Zuo Jian nodded and said: "Sanmaozai's father, when he went to the county seat, it should be after autumn, just entering winter, due to the cold weather, he chose to light a fire in the rental house to keep warm, but he didn't know that coal will release carbon monoxide when burning. ”

"Well, Mr. Zuo is right." The old village chief nodded, sighed and said: "Our village is surrounded by mountains, and in winter, every household burns firewood and lights a kang to keep warm. ”

Mu Yanbing fell silent.

This incident made her deeply realize how ignorant the villagers of Narin Village were.

Using coal for heating can easily cause carbon monoxide poisoning death, and the most terrible thing is that carbon monoxide is a gas that is colorless and odorless, and it is not easy to detect at all, and when the human body inhales a certain amount of carbon monoxide, it will produce dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other reactions, once you do not realize that it is carbon monoxide poisoning in time.

Once the carbon monoxide gas is inhaled excessively, the human body will gradually weaken its limbs and enter a coma, and at this time, even if it is realized that it is carbon monoxide poisoning, there is no way to save it.

The atmosphere in the room fell silent as the old village chief's story was finished.

"That's ...... so"

After a while, Mu Yanbing spit out a few words with difficulty, "I finally know why the villagers of Narin Village are so eager that a teacher can stay in the village." ”

"Yes, Mr. Mu."

Hearing Mu Yanbing's words, the old village chief nodded and said with emotion: "Nothing can be without knowledge and culture!" Especially in modern society, although I don't go out much, every time I go out, I can find that there are more new things. ”

"Especially in the county, there are many things, not only have I not seen them, but I have never even heard of them. Looking at the people around us, using things that we don't understand at all, saying things that we don't understand, like listening to a book from heaven, do you know what kind of feeling we have in our hearts? ”

"It's inferiority!"

The old village chief's words became heavy, "It is precisely because of the inferiority complex and what happened to Sanmaozai's father that the villagers of Nalin Village have become even more complacent and dare not leave this land." Sometimes, I couldn't sleep at night, so I lay in bed and thought that if we villagers of Narin Village continued like this, sooner or later, it would become history. will be forgotten by the world. ”

"Old village chief, you're right."

Zuo Jian threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, looked at him Zhengse, and said, "But have you ever thought about whether you have become even more afraid to leave here after the incident with Sanmaozai's father?" You can't waste food because of choking, and sometimes, you think in your heart, it's useless, you have to go out. Be confident, bold and brave. ”

"The strong face difficulties, while the weak face difficulties and immediately retract their heads. In fact, when you really go out and integrate into this society, many years later, when you look back, you will find that it is actually very simple. ”

"Mr. Zuo, what you said is very reasonable."

Hearing Zuo Jian's words, the old village chief did not have a trace of unhappy expression, on the contrary, he agreed with Zuo Jian's words very much, knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand, he stared at Zuo Jian and said: "But one thing in front of us is that we go out and have no food." ”

"Especially those of us who don't know a word, after arriving in the county, we can only rely on selling our strength to do odd jobs for a living, Narin County is a well-known poor county in China, frankly speaking, there are not so many construction sites in the county, and there is no need for so many workers."

"So even if we go out, we can only end up in an awkward situation. As for doing a small business, it is even more life-threatening for us villagers, from ancient times to the present, for hundreds of years, there has not been a single villager in Narin Village who has made a big business. Coupled with the simplicity of these people's hearts, I am worried that if I can't do business, I will be deceived by others. ”

Zuo Jian nodded and admitted the old village chief's words, which made sense.

Today's Naryn Village, indeed, is in a very awkward situation. Even if the government is willing to resettle these villagers, these villagers do not dare to relocate to the county seat, and they live in isolation in Nalin Village, a village surrounded by mountains with inconvenient transportation.

For the villagers of Nalin Village, televisions, air conditioners, smart phones, computers, etc., which are not only unheard of, but have not even seen of them.

And there are no resources here that are worth exploiting.

I want to make these villagers rich, I want Nalin Village to develop, I want these children to be able to sit in spacious and bright classrooms and learn like children in big cities.

This is indeed a very difficult thing to do.

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Zuo, the environment of Narin Village is like this. Both of you are cultural people, and if there is a way, I hope that you can come up with a solution for the more than 100 villagers in Narin Village. ”

The old village chief looked at Mu Yanbing and Zuo Jian with a sincere face, and said with emotion: "As the village chief of Narin Village, I see the situation in the village in my eyes and take it to heart, and I want to change the situation in front of me, but I am powerless and don't know where to start. You are all from big cities, and you are cultural people, and you know a lot more about what you have seen and heard than I am a bad old man. ”

"I hope you can help the villagers of Narin Village!"

Saying that, the old village chief stood up, bent down at Mu Yanbing and Zuo Jian, bowed deeply, and said, "My old man doesn't have anything of value to give you, so he can only salute you......"

"The old village chief doesn't want this."

Seeing the old village chief put on such a solemn posture, Mu Yanbing and Zuo Jian were taken aback, Zuo Jian hurriedly stopped the old village chief, and said with a wry smile: "Old village chief, in fact, we are just ordinary people in the big city, although we may have seen and heard more things than you, but we may not be able to come up with any solutions." ”

Without any certainty, Zuo Jian didn't dare to rashly agree to the old village chief's request.

This is not a child's house, and he can agree to it casually.

Therefore, Zuo Jian can only be temporary, and he can stabilize the old village chief with words first.

Zuo Jian didn't notice Mu Yanbing next to him, if he noticed her appearance, he would definitely not have stabilized the old village chief first, but would have hinted at Mu Yanbing first.

Mu Yanbing's cherry lips were clenched, whether it was the old village chief's request or the incident of Sanmaozai's father just now, it gave her an extremely strong shock in her heart.

Especially when she saw an old man with a wrinkled face and a age that was completely capable of being her grandfather's generation, bowing to herself, she was shocked in her heart, and it was conceivable that she didn't think so much about it impulsively, and said: "Old village chief, don't worry, we will definitely do our best to help the villagers of Nalin Village!" ”

In Mu Yanbing's view, these poor people are indeed very much in need of others' help. Otherwise, they will truly become outcasts of the times. For a lifetime, I will not be able to get out of Nalin Village and the mountains, and I will not be able to enjoy the benefits of the development of science and technology in modern society and people's lives.

Hearing Mu Yanbing's words, Zuo Jian held the old village chief's hand, stiffened, turned around, and looked at Mu Yanbing with tears and laughter.

Girl, aren't you bent on demolishing your uncle's platform?

"Do you mean it really? Mr. Mu! ”

The old village chief's cloudy eyes suddenly shot out a light of surprise, and he stared at Mu Yanbing, as if he was afraid that she would regret it.

"Hmm...... That's right, I mean really. ”

At this time, Mu Yanbing also noticed that Zuo Jian was glaring at him vigorously. After her mind sobered up from the shock, Mu Yanbing suddenly realized that she seemed to be a little too impulsive just now, but the words were also spoken, facing the old village chief, she was really embarrassed to say, sorry, I was a little too impulsive just now.

This matter should be discussed slowly and in the long run...... If you really say it, where will you put your face?

In desperation, Mu Yanbing had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "That's right, old village chief, I'm serious, but this matter is more difficult, so we need some time to plan slowly......"
