One hundred and seventy-three. The monster of the village with the three surnames
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the winter vacation is in a blink of an eye.
That's the most exciting thing.
But this doesn't seem to have much to do with Ai Xiaohai, even if it's winter vacation, some of him is busy. First of all, I have to go to the poor mountainous area where Yu Xiulai's classmate lives, and as soon as I come back, I will soon go to Coco Island.
Vincent and Lukes are very efficient, and they have already helped Ai Xiaohai complete all the formalities for leaving the country, and now, they only need to wait for the Costa Rican sheriff Gvares, who is stationed on Coco Island, to nod his head.
As for going to Yu Xiulai's hometown, Ai Xiaohai didn't have to worry about those preliminary preparations at all.
Deng Mengmeng and these girls carefully asked Yu Xiulai what was lacking in the primary school in his hometown, and then according to the map, they purchased as many items as they lacked and needed most.
The Iveco 11-seater van belonged to the "Tianzi Group", so there was no problem with using it, and they didn't even have to worry about the fuel cost, and it was driven by a 50-year-old Master Fan.
When Ai Xiaohai heard this, he shouted on the spot, how to calculate his fuel cost? It's a pity that no matter what he called, no one paid attention to him......
There were a total of 9 people, including Master Fan.
Deng Mengmeng, Xu Yunqi and that Yu Xiulai took Ai Xiaohai's car.
Yu Xiulai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was dark and thin, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses that almost covered half of his face. Nowadays, almost all young people who wear these old styles of glasses are extinct.
It was the first time to carry out such an activity alone, which made Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi, who were sitting in the back seats, excited and like two chirping little sparrows. As soon as I got on the road, I kept discussing there, constantly asking this and that.
Yu Xiulai is an honest child, and they answer whatever they ask.
He lives in the mountains of Zidong County, more than 2,000 kilometers away from Xinan.
As soon as Ai Xiaohai heard it, he knew that he had been fooled. More than two thousand kilometers? Theoretically, it can be driven in two days, but how long does it take to drive every day? Fortunately, as soon as he protested, Deng Mengmeng told him that Xu Yunqi and a classmate on Iveco behind him had obtained a driver's license, and everyone could change it, which reassured Ai Xiaohai.
But people sitting in the car will also be constantly consumed, waiting for the destination. will also be tired enough.
Yu Xiulai's hometown is called "Three Surname Village". Locally, it's because there are only three surnames in the village. Yu Xiulai told them that the village with the surname Sanjia is very beautiful, but it is also very poor and backward. It's in the middle of a mountain. The traffic is seriously inconvenient. The car couldn't drive in at all. Hence almost isolation.
"The car won't get in?" Ai Xiaohai hurriedly asked, "Then how do we get in?" ”
"You can only stop nearby, then follow the trail and go over two more hills. Every month, we would go out to the nearest town to sell mountain goods. When you come back from buying daily necessities, you can climb over the top of two small hills in more than an hour, and then walk to the town, which is about two hours. Counting the time spent selling and buying things, I usually leave the village in the morning and return home before dark. ”
Hey, hey, have fun. Ai Xiaohai glanced at Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi in the rearview mirror with bad intentions, and sure enough, he saw fear and worry on their faces.
Over the mountains and on foot, Yu Xiulai has been used to it since he was a child, Ai Xiaohai Dragon Spirit Bead Protector, they are not a big problem, but what about the others? Being pampered in the city is a completely different concept from going to the gym to exercise.
Yu Xiulai didn't notice the strangeness of the two girls in the back seat, when Ai Xiaohai said, "It's great that you can be admitted to university with such living conditions", Yu Xiulai said: "Yes, this is thanks to Teacher Lao Cheng and Teacher Xiao Cheng......"
Thirty years ago, a family surnamed Cheng returned to Sanshi Village.
There is a reason why we say "return". According to the elderly people in the village, seventy or eighty years ago, when the family had a descendant, they left the village of the three surnames where their ancestors lived, and went to the outside world to seek a living, but they never came back.
By the generation of Mr. Laocheng, it is already the fourth generation of those who have started a family. The fallen leaves returned to their roots, and they finally returned to the village of the three surnames.
Although Mr. Lao Cheng is a lame man, he is educated, and as soon as he returned to the village with the surname of San, he re-established the school that had long been abandoned with the support of the patriarch, and was responsible for the education of the children in the village. His only dream is to train a college student for the village of the three surnames.
But until his death, he did not realize this dream. His daughter, Mr. Xiaocheng, took over the baton of her dreams.
Two generations and thirty years of hard work finally made their dreams come true, and the village with three surnames produced the first college student ever: Yu Xiulai. And he was admitted to Xinan University, a nationally renowned university!
When he received the admission letter, the patriarch ordered a big feast, and everyone should open the ring to drink freely, celebrating the proudest day of the whole village of the three surnames. On that day, even Mr. Xiaocheng, who usually doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, was drunk.
Hearing this, Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi's eyes turned red......
In this era, college students are not uncommon, but in a poor mountain village, it took two generations a full 30 years to train a college student.
It sounds incredible, but in many places, things like this are happening...... They don't have spacious and bright classrooms, they don't have experienced teachers, they don't even have the teaching materials to keep up with the rhythm, and even the teachers don't know what to test, let alone guess the questions. Computers and the Internet, this kind of modern tools that can get twice the result with half the effort are even more insulated from them. They can only continue to grope in failure after failure.
Therefore, Yu Xiulai is the greatest pride of the entire village of the three surnamed villages!
"The patriarch kept calling me Zhuang Yuanlang that day, saying that in the past, he was going to wear red and hang colors to celebrate in the streets." Although Yu Xiulai said this with a smile, he was obviously sad: "He told me, Xiulai, you are the first champion of the third surname village, and you will go out in the future, don't come back." But no matter where you go, don't forget Teacher Xiaocheng. No matter where you go, every New Year's Eve, you have to kowtow to Teacher Lao Cheng three times. ”
There is a "champion" in the village of the three surnames, and the mountain people there are not the same as those on TV, counting on him to come back and lead the villagers out of poverty, a "champion" will not be of much help to the village with the three surnames in the mountains.
They are just proud of Yu Xiulai, proud of the village with the three surnames, and proud of themselves.
For no other reason, it's that simple!
After hearing this, Ai Xiaohai also sighed.
Probably felt that this topic was a bit heavy, Yu Xiulai quickly shut up and changed the topic: "By the way, this time when you come to our three surname villages, you must take a good look, although we are poor, but very beautiful, surrounded by mountains, and the mountains to the west are a large primeval forest......"
The words "primeval forest" suddenly stimulated Ai Xiaohai. This kind of place often contains the most needed things for the Dragon Spirit Bead:
The essence of a powerful creature!
In the Huyan Naxi Primeval Forest, he obtained the powerful essence of the marsupial lion, the big one-horned rhino and the snake queen in one go, making the dragon spirit bead advance by leaps and bounds. What secrets will be hidden in the primeval forest of Sanshi Village in Zidong County?
Yu Xiulai introduced them to the magnificence and magic of the primeval forest, and when he was elated, Ai Xiaohai suddenly asked, "Is there a monster?" ”
The two girls in the back laughed out loud: "Monster? Ai Xiaohai, have you watched too much TV? What kind of monsters are there in this world? ”
What do two women understand? Ai Xiaohai muttered in his heart, there are not only monsters in this world, but also many monsters that are unimaginable to humans.
"Yes, yes!" Unexpectedly, Yu Xiulai actually said something like this: "There is really a monster in our primeval forest, and this monster has existed for many, many years. According to the older generations, the monster is about two meters tall, can walk upright, has infinite strength, moves extremely fast, and can also use weapons......"
"Using weapons?" Ai Xiaohai couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Of all the creatures he encountered, he had never encountered one that could use a weapon.
Yu Xiulai nodded very seriously: "This monster has appeared twice, once a hundred years ago, once eighty years ago, each time it was night, the first time it appeared, its roar shook the earth, someone quietly looked through the crack in the door, and found that only half of its body could be seen, and it could be seen carrying a huge wooden stick." It walked around the village, smashing things with sticks, and when it was daybreak, it was gone. After dawn, the people of the village came out of their homes in fear and found that the well and the ancestral hall had been smashed by it. And what's even more frightening is that a large grinding disc made of more than 800 catties of stone has been moved! ”
"And then?" Ai Xiaohai hurriedly asked.
God, the stone grinding disc of more than 800 catties has been moved? What a strength that monster must!
"We followed the trail and found that it disappeared in the western mountain, so we speculated that the monster had run into the primeval forest, but no one dared to continue to chase it." Yu Xiulai said: "More than eighty years ago, it was the last time the monster appeared, and its roar was even louder, and it was still dragging something. After dawn, we realized that the big stone millstone was gone! ”
Ai Xiaohai's heart was beating when he heard this.
The last time it appeared, it could only move the big grinding plate, but twenty years later, it was actually able to carry a large grinding plate of more than 800 gold over the mountains and mountains? What a powerful force this is?
Animals walking upright? Gorilla? Who has ever seen a gorilla more than two meters tall?
Legendary savages? It's possible, but if there really are wild people, this power is too rebellious, right?
Ai Xiaohai imagined for a moment that although he was also infinitely powerful, it was absolutely impossible to carry an object of more than 800 catties over the mountains and mountains. (To be continued......)
