On the eve of the Spring Festival, except for tourists who will come to Huigu Agricultural Sightseeing Park for fishing and leisure, the company has nothing particularly important.

Shen Xiangcheng explained the company's affairs to Jiang Wei and Liu Yang, packed his luggage and drove to Lingshui County.

The red Scoo was too ostentatious, and Shen Xiangcheng used a domestic white off-road vehicle that the company bought some time ago.

The distance of more than 300 kilometers is a high-speed road in the first half and a provincial highway in the second half. Shen Xiangcheng set off at seven o'clock in the morning and knew that he would arrive in Lingshui County at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Shen Xiangcheng knew that he was really bold.

If you hadn't come here in person, you wouldn't have been able to appreciate the poverty of Lingshui County.

It is a huge county, and the main road and Pipa Town have not been built well, just a cement two-lane road.

At a glance, the county seat is built against the back of the mountain, and no building exceeds six floors.

There is no way to believe that this county is a county under the first-tier city of Suzhou and Hangzhou, but it is more like a poor county in the west.

Along the way, there are rolling hills, which are not covered by vegetation and are all bare gray rocks.

Under the mountain col or on the plain close to the border of Jiangcheng, you will see one or two points of farmland here and there, and everything else is barren.

The most terrifying thing is that on the side of the road into the county, there are cemeteries along the road, and it is rare to see pedestrians on the most prosperous street in the county.

Dead City!

It is very appropriate to use this adjective to describe Lingshui County.

Shen Xiangcheng wanted to book a hotel in a county on the Internet, but unfortunately none of the clients had a hotel in Lingshui County.

In winter, the weather gets dark early, so you can find a place to live before you can talk about it.

Off-road vehicles have attracted a lot of attention in the county, and the depressed old people in the houses along the street stick their heads out to look at the city, where there are almost no young people coming back, let alone cars. The only means of transportation that relies on mechanical propulsion are also tractors.

Old people, old people are all old people, and the picture is very weird.

Shen Xiangcheng was just a girl after all, and she was terrified in the car, so she quickly closed the window tightly.

On a small street in the center of the county, Shen Xiangcheng finally saw the word accommodation, and Hyatt Regency was written in a faded copper-plated font on it.

The streets are lined with small banyan trees that do not shed their leaves in winter, bringing a touch of life to the desolate winter.

Of course, the accommodation cannot be like a hotel in a big city, but a four-storey dilapidated residential building.

Hearing the off-road vehicle in the small courtyard of the hotel, Shen Xiangcheng packed his luggage and got out of the car.

Dark wood-colored doors and windows, terrazzo floors. The environment in front of him makes Shen Xiangcheng feel like he has come to the eighties of the last world in the movie.

I looked at my phone, and it was okay, there was a signal.

The hotel only had a dim incandescent light on, and a middle-aged woman sat drowsy at the counter.

Shen Xiangcheng rolled her eyes to observe the surrounding environment, then walked to the front desk and gently knocked on the table, "Hello, is there still a room?" ”

The middle-aged woman looked at Shen Xiangcheng and smiled excitedly. She danced with her hands and gestured at something, and her mouth cooed.

Lingshui County and Jiangcheng City are only more than 300 kilometers apart, and the accent should be about the same, but unfortunately Shen Xiangcheng couldn't understand what she was saying.

The middle-aged woman looked a little anxious, slapping the table and roaring.

This slap on the table startled Shen Xiangcheng and hurriedly took two steps back.

"Okay, okay, Ah Li, don't slap the table, I know." An old voice came from the room behind the front desk.

Then, an old lady bent down and walked out of the inner room, she said with a smile: "Don't mind, this is my daughter-in-law, Ah Li, her ears are not very good, and her brain is also a little wrong." ”

Shen Xiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief, at least the old lady looked a little more normal,

"Hello, I'm here to stay, do you have a room here?"

"Yes, yes!" The old lady asked Ah Li to give up a place and sit at the front desk by herself, "Girl, how many days will you stay?" ”

"Let's stay for two days first, how much is one night?" Shen Xiangcheng said and took out his ID card from his bag.

"Thirty-one nights, a deposit of twenty, you give eighty." The old lady said as she took out the slip from the drawer and began to fill it out.

Thirty-one nights?

This is the cheapest hotel Shen Xiangcheng has ever stayed in, and she said with some uncertainty: "I want a single room, not living with others." ”

"Don't worry, there are private rooms."

You don't have to look at it to know that you can't swipe a bank card here, so Shen Xiangcheng handed over a hundred yuan bill.

The old lady looked for 20 yuan and said, "The accommodation is on the second floor, room 201." ”

After the formalities were completed, Shen Xiangcheng dragged his luggage to the second floor.

The hotel has been simply renovated, but through the decayed carpentry boards, Shen Xiangcheng can still see the fallen plaster and decaying steel bars inside, this house looks some years old, it should be the building of the late eighties and early nineties of the last century.

Said to be a hotel, in fact, there are only more than 20 rooms on the second floor, and the stairs to the third floor are sealed by wooden boards, which should be a residential area, and there is another place to enter from downstairs.

Room 201 is not big, only a few square meters. Fortunately, there is a bathroom inside.

There was nothing in the room except a bed, a dresser, no TV let alone internet.

And the bathroom...... There was a sink and a yellowed squatting urinal with no shower.

Shen Xiangcheng put the luggage on the ground and touched the quilt and sheets with her hands, and she didn't know if it was because of the cold weather or the room was dark, and the quilt was a little wet.

Shen Xiangcheng secretly complained to herself, it was really a bad environment.

Fortunately, there is an electric blanket under the quilt, which can remove the moisture from the quilt.

After a day of driving, I was also tired.

The weather was already dark, and Shen Xiangcheng didn't have the courage to wander around this small county town with a weird atmosphere looking for food. She also believes that there are no night snack shops in this county town.

Fortunately, I was prepared.

Take two slices of bread out of the suitcase and mix them with cold milk for the day's dinner.

Shen Xiangcheng sighed, looked at the dilapidated room, and couldn't help but doubt his judgment.

Is this place really capable of growing fruit?

Can this kind of place really take Huigu a step further?

This time she came to Lingshui County to inspect the actual environment here, and if she allowed, she would immediately invest here and plant in time for spring ploughing.

Now it seems......

The gap between imagination and reality is too great.

opened WeChat, Shen Xiangcheng still reported safety to An Lin.

"An Lin, An Lin, I have arrived in Lingshui County, and I have already found a place to live, but the environment here is ...... I'll take a video of you. ”

Shen Xiangcheng made a crying face, and then took a video of the room to An Lin.

An Lin replied: You are a girl who says to leave, no matter how bad it is, you have to ask me to accompany you! Stay safe and stay connected. (To be continued.) )
