Chapter XXXI

There is not much difference between the climate of the south and the north in 317 and August, the green grass near the airport, and the white clouds and blue sky overhead are almost the same as the north, visually they do not feel the difference between the north and the south for a while, only a sense of novelty in a foreign land.

After six or seven hours of flight, at about one o'clock in the afternoon local time, the thunderstorm and their smooth arrival at the airport in the southwest city of K.

This is not strange to Lei Zhenyu, the most recent time in last winter when he went to Hainan, he also went to Kunming, but that time was completely for fun, and today in the meaning of coming here is completely different, just as he stepped on this plane with both feet, a sense of responsibility and mission fell on his shoulders unconsciously.

"Zixiao, how do you and Han Yuling live, do you live separately or together" On the way to the hotel, Lei Zhenyu asked.

"What are you talking about, what are you talking about, what are you talking about, you can say anything" Han Yulian said a little embarrassed after listening to Lei Zhenyu's words.

Although she also worked in the city, it is not unusual for boys and children to live together as boyfriend and girlfriend temporarily, and she has also discussed this problem privately with the little sisters in the village, and basically agrees with this phenomenon, if she has a boyfriend, once the other party puts forward this request for premarital cohabitation, she thinks that this request is also acceptable, and it is better to take care of each other than to be alone. But now the situation is different, the newcomer and Lei Zhenyu have just known each other for a long time, and they are their bosses, she doesn't want to leave a very casual mark on others all of a sudden.

"Okay, you arrange it yourself, I have my own room, from now on, Han Yuling will arrange our daily life problems, Zi Xiao will help from it"

"Mr. Lei" Han Yuling blurted out, just now she was still called Zhenyu, but now she has become Mr. Lei, it may be that Lei Zhenyu's explanation just now made her feel that this is the boss arranging work for her, that is to say, her work from now on, she has become a formal employee under Lei Zhenyu.

"Can I do it?"

"It's okay, let's do it"

Zixiao also followed Han Yuling diligently, and with little effort, the accommodation problem was settled, they lived in three rooms, Lin Zixiao and Wei Bicheng lived in one room, and Han Yuling and Lei Zhenyu each had one room.

The next day, several people found an off-road vehicle at a rental price of 400 yuan a day and began their good deeds of poverty alleviation in the southwest.

Out of K City, along the Canglan River all the way to the west, the driver and part-time guide took them day and night to the most remote and impoverished areas. Because the driver said that there was an extremely poor village there.

The southwest of August is still the season of the rainy season, the humid air makes several people feel a little uncomfortable physically, the body is itchy, the climate reaction of the plateau is gradually manifested in their bodies, although it is not so strong, but in the appetite has made them have not eaten for a few days, and accompanied by gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by water and soil adaptation, along the way a few people just diarrhea medicine do not know how much to eat, all of them seem so exhausted.

"How can you still hold on, if you want to go home, you will be given travel expenses, and if you want to go back and do something again, I will give you the start-up capital"

In a small township close to the boundary of Guizhou, they have to stop and rest for a day, the car must be maintained, people should also have a good rest, food should also be stored, the driver said that the road ahead is getting more and more difficult to walk, the standardized highway is the end here, in the way to the inside is completely mountainous dirt road, this road is rarely driven by motor vehicles, people in the mountains in and out of the cottage have to rely on livestock and foot strength. In addition, it is the rainy season now, the roads are muddy, and it is difficult for motor vehicles to travel, and they cannot advance dozens of kilometers in a day. According to the driver's words, even the wires have not been connected, and now there are still nearly 200 kilometers of cottages that rely on pine lighting to light up, and this road driver is also the first time to come, what kind of road conditions will be in front of him, and what kind of problems will occur. This is still an unknown.

This is a remote town where Han, Yao, and Miao ethnic groups live together, with hundreds of families and different houses scattered in a spacious col without any planning, and a stone road winds through the town, dividing the town into two parts, north and south.

Along the street, you can see that some important departments such as banks, schools, town governments, and mobile companies are all distributed in the stores of a few buildings along the road. All kinds of ethnic snacks can be found everywhere, and some are right on the doorstep of residents.

Lei Zhenyu and they came to a small restaurant with local ethnic characteristics. Under the introduction of the owner of the restaurant, they asked for a banana chicken and a few bamboo tubes of rice.

Lei Zhenyu looked at his haggard faces and asked.

"Zhenyu, this kind of experience can't be bought by others with any amount of money, as long as you have confidence, I will follow to the end, even if it is sacrificed here, it will not be in vain" Zi Xiao smelled the rice fragrance emitted from the bamboo tube, and said with a serious and serious expression.

"What are you talking about, good things make you talk so badly, let you go to the front line or let you blow up the bunker, Lei don't listen to them, just go forward according to your plan" Han Yuling slapped Lin Zixiao's hand with chopsticks and said in a stern tone.

After Han Yuling came out of K City, she completely undertook the work of the logistics manager of this team, this girl has a lot of ideas, and she didn't ask Lei Zhenyu for some things at all, thinking that the food and medicine she ate along the way were all handled by him, and he also bought a notebook and a few pens, and wrote down the accounts handled clearly, which made Lei Zhenyu a lot easier.

Lao Wei only cared about tasting this Yaozhai banana leaf chicken soup and didn't care about anything.

"How are you, Old Wei, do you have any ideas, don't eat all the time" Lei Zhenyu asked Wei Bicheng, who was drinking chicken soup.

"Yes, Zhenyu, did you say that we can become the village chief when we get there, and how can this plan be implemented if we can't become the village chief immediately?"

"Your brain, didn't I say it before I came, nothing can be thought out so thoroughly, a plan is a plan, and the specific way to do it has to wait for the place to be decided according to the actual local situation, one thing is for sure, the money will definitely be spent, and it will definitely not be spent in vain, it will definitely bring results"

"Then ask me, how do you decide what to do with us?"

"Come, take a bite of chicken soup for the smooth progress of our plan," Lei Zhenyu picked up a soup bowl in front of him and touched it with everyone, and drank it all.

After a night's rest, the next day Thunderstorm led his companions on their way in the drizzle of the south, which is only found in the rainy season.

The muddy mountain road is potholed, the road surface is narrow, there are not a few pedestrians along the way, and those who see are carrying baskets or leading donkeys, and the light rain and misty weather can not enjoy the landscape of the south, the off-road vehicle just swayed from side to side for two more days, and finally when it was almost noon, they saw a few pillars of cooking smoke rising in the air between the mountains and forests not far ahead, and the images of houses were faintly seen between the gaps in the trees.

"That's it," the driver stopped, pointing ahead with his finger ahead.

Several people craned their necks and looked forward in novelty, and their faces showed a look of excitement.

"Let's go straight in," Lei Zhenyu said.

"It's only here, don't you see that there is a mountain stream in front of our car?"

A few people noticed that there was a wide canyon in front of them, nearly a thousand meters away, and two fist-thick steel cables bent and drooped to connect the two mountains, and then they saw a man riding from the opposite cliff in an iron basket made of finger thickness, slowly sliding towards this side.

Thunderstorm they not only broke out in a cold sweat.

"How did the cattle we saw on the road come over?" asked Lei Zhenyu, looking at the canyon hundreds of meters deep, with some puzzlement.

"You look to the left, there is a path down the hill to the stockade"

A few people looked in the direction the driver said, and sure enough, more than a hundred meters to the left, a gap could be seen between the sparse trees, and a person was driving an animal down carefully, and it was also difficult to walk to see the posture.

At this time, the thick clouds have torn a crack from it, and a strong light erupts from the crack, reflecting the heat in the valley more densely, and the houses that I saw just now are also instantly shrouded in mist, and at this time, the person who slipped over from the mountain has come out of the iron basket, and the person who came is carrying a basket on his back, dressed in a Han costume, but wrapped in a thick cloth on his head, making it impossible to judge whether he is a Han or an ethnic minority for a while.

The visitor looked at the car that appeared in front of him and these well-dressed young people, and looked at everything in front of him with amazed eyes, and his wrinkled face looked very old, like an old man in his seventies.

"Are you going to the stockade?"

Without waiting for Lei Zhenyu to ask first, the old man had already put down the backpack on his body and took the initiative to ask, speaking Mandarin very fluently, without a little taste of local dialects.

"Yes, we are going into the village, you are a fellow countryman in this village," Lei Zhenyu replied to the old man's words and asked politely.

I already knew from the driver's mouth that most of their Yao people speak Zhuang, and some people can speak Chinese, but the accent with Zhuang language makes it difficult to hear clearly.

"Where are you from the distinguished guests, are you the leader of the state, I am the village chief here, you can call me Uncle Han"

"Hello Uncle Han, it's a coincidence that we met you, we came here to do something for your village, and we were about to go to you."

Lei Zhen hurriedly walked over and held the old man's hand, with a kind and warm feeling in his heart.

"Welcome, I don't know what you want to do, can I help you, come to the village" The old man said and put on his back basket again, and with the thunderstorm, they came to the zipline, "It's the first time to come, I haven't used this thing, I'll show you"

The old man leaned down and put his legs into the basket first, then grasped the rim of the basket tightly with one hand, grabbed the other ropeway with the other and pulled it back, and the basket slid forward. After walking for a while, the old man slid back again, and when he came up, he said, "You can only pass one person at a time, I'll help you go here first, who will come first?"

The old man's folds showed that he was glad to have guests in his stockade.

"I'll come first" Lei Zhenyu said that he was about to go down to the basket, and when he was about to go in with his legs, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly returned to the ground and said to Han Yuling: "Xiao Han gave the money to the master, and he was happy to patronize it, but the money for the car has not been given yet,"

Lei Zhenyu's money pocket has always been in Han Yuling's hands, and they took out another 100,000 yuan to carry with them when they were in the provincial capital.

"What are you busy with, when you go to the stockade, you are saying, I don't want any money," the driver said.

His words stunned everyone.

"Are you from the stockade?" Zi Xiao asked.

"It wasn't now," the driver said with a relaxed smile.

Seeing that they still didn't understand what they meant, the driver said again: "I was very moved by listening to your thoughts along the way, I have decided to join your team, count me as a member, I don't have much ability to leave myself and the car in the team together, so that it will be convenient for you to go out of the mountain and enter the mountain in the future, just for me to eat."

Everyone was still stunned, and it took a while for Lei Zhenyu to come to his senses, and he stepped forward to pat him and said: "How can this work, thank you brother, if you don't dislike it, you will stay here first, or in the form of a chartered car, do you think it's okay?"

"Hah, I didn't say that"
