Under the guidance of the young man, they soon came to Shashan Village, which was more than ten miles away from Puzhou City.

Shashan Village is very small, and it is a bit of a village to lift it, but it is actually a gathering point formed by a group of homeless people gathering in a place that is so barren that no one wants it. There is a small river in front of the village, and a very simple single-plank bridge is built on the river with wooden planks, and people walk on it "squeak" loudly, and they are really afraid that it will break if it squeaks.

Carriages and horses can not enter the village, a group of people have to get off the carriage and walk in, facing this very individual single-plank bridge only dare to cross one by one, for fear that people will go up too much at once and trample it off. When Yu Mingbo walked on it, his mouth kept chanting: "Don't break, don't break, don't break!" ”

The village is composed of about 20 thatched houses, all of which are small, low and very old and dilapidated, many of which have been twisted and twisted, one next to the other, and they are very close to each other, and I am afraid that a strong wind blowing through these dilapidated houses will be blown down, and then one after another will collapse in a chain reaction.

I didn't feel much of a distance just now, but now that I entered the village, it was really bad. Qiu Lin, Zheng Yang and Wen Qixiao, their masters and servants often walk in the people, it's good that they have seen a lot, especially Wen Qilun and Yu Mingbo, the masters and servants, have been staying in the imperial city, even when they go out to travel, they are all relatively prosperous places, and they are used to seeing prosperous scenes, how can they have ever seen such a scene, they are all shocked and incredible, and the shock in their hearts is really indescribable, and I really can't imagine that there is such a poor place in this world.

Qiu Lin, Wen Qixiao and Zheng Yang walked in the front, and everyone else followed, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking. Especially Qiu Lin and Zheng Yang, their brows have been locked tightly since they were outside the village, and the more they went inside, the more ugly their faces became. They are all a generation born under the red flag and raised under the banner of the party, who have been influenced by the great socialist ideology and carried forward the inheritance of the core values of socialism.

The group stopped in the middle of the village, and the young man was brought up by Zheng Yang's men, who asked, "Is this here?" ”

The boy lowered his head any longer, and replied in a low voice, "This is it." ”

Zheng Yang said loudly: "Didn't you eat? I can't hear it, be louder. ”

The young man was frightened by his voice, and immediately said loudly: "This is it!" ”

Since they appeared outside the village, the people in the village have already noticed them, after all, this village is small and poor, and the villagers are all homeless people, usually no one wants to come here, let alone a group of people in beautiful and bright clothes, everyone stood not far away and looked at them curiously, looking at them, seeing that they all had ugly faces, they didn't dare to come forward to ask them what was wrong. It wasn't until the young man was brought to the front and asked by Zheng Yang that someone finally stepped forward boldly.

An uncle in his fifties dragged an inflexible leg, limped up to Zheng Yang, and asked cautiously, "Everyone, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Zheng Yang asked, "Is this kid from your here?" ”

The uncle replied, "It's from our village, his name is Ah Hai." You guys, what's the matter? ”

Zheng Yang: "This kid came to steal our things last night and was caught by us." ”

When the uncle heard that the young man was caught stealing something, he was so angry that his hands trembled, and he asked him, "Ah Hai, is what he said true?" ”

The young man's head was so low that he was about to touch his chest, and he didn't dare to say a word, and a tear fell.

Seeing his reaction, the uncle knew that this was the truth, and said hurriedly: "What did we tell you, why didn't you listen, we have hands and feet and can always think of a way to get through......"

Before the uncle finished speaking, an old woman came out of a thatched hut, trembling and trembling under the support of a woman, and shouted as she walked: "Ah Hai, my Ah Hai ......" The uncle saw her come out and hurriedly dragged her inconvenient legs and limped forward to help her, she approached the young man and reached out and touched his thin sallow face, and continued: "Why are you stealing? Do you take our words as wind in your ears? You just need to go to work with peace of mind, you don't have to worry about other things, we will find a way for ourselves. ”

The boy knelt down with tears in his eyes, crying, "Mother-in-law, I just want to buy you something to eat." You don't have to hide it from us anymore, the three of us are working and still have something to eat, but how long have you been eating wild vegetables? There is only a few leaves of clear soup and little water, and there is no rice and noodles in a few leaves, you adults can still boil it, but Ah Bao and Ah Qing are still children, and it is the time to grow tall, how can they survive if they eat like this. ”

The mother-in-law hugged his head into her arms and cried, "Silly child, my silly child! As if thinking of something, he let go of the young man, walked to Zheng Yang, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Lords! Please, let this child go! He didn't mean to steal your things, there was really no way to take this road, good people have good rewards, so let your lords be kind! ”

When the villagers saw their mother-in-law kneeling down and kowtowing and pleading for mercy, they also knelt down one after another, and the pleas were overwhelming......

Zheng Yang hurriedly wanted to help his mother-in-law up: "Everyone get up!" Get up! ”

But the mother-in-law couldn't afford it, and said, "Everyone, let this child go!" We promise we won't steal again. ”

Qiu Lin saw that Zheng Yang wanted to help but didn't dare to be too strong, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help his mother-in-law, and said, "Mother-in-law, you get up first!" Don't worry, we don't mean to embarrass this kid, if we want to do anything to him, we won't bring him back, wouldn't it be more convenient to send him directly to the government? ”

The mother-in-law was much more relieved when she heard that they would not embarrass Ah Hai, and she was helped up by Qiu Lin. Qiu Lin turned to all the villagers and said, "Get up too!" Don't worry, we won't embarrass this child, nor will we embarrass you, we are here to understand your situation, and if we can help, we will help. ”

These villagers usually suffer from the difficulties of others and live in great difficulty, and when someone suddenly says that they want to help them, they can't believe it, and they are stunned for a moment and don't know what to do to react.

These villagers are really the same as the boy said, there are about 40 people, all of them are old and weak women and children, more precisely, it should be a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, the old, the young, the weak, the weak, the crippled...... I really can't find a few labor that can be used. The land is barren and there is no food to grow, there is no one to find a job, and there are a bunch of people to take care of and feed, it is really difficult for these few people who still have some ability.

Qiu Lin saw their reactions and continued, "Next, I need someone to take us to see the actual situation of your entire village. ”

Qiu Lin assigned the work of Li Yi and Meng Xi, Zheng Yang's two subordinates assisted them, Wen Qixiao hurriedly asked Liu Cheng and a few of them to help, and a few of them took the task and left.

Qiu Lin took the lead in checking around the village, and the uncle accompanied her. Zheng Yang followed her side as usual, this kind of thing Qiu Lin has experience, and it is generally better to leave it to the Cloud Mist Pavilion to deal with in the end, he just needs to cooperate with her. As for Wen Qixiao, they are just studying and learning from the side.
