The next morning, Yao Yayao and Li Zhiqiang, an employee of Noah's Company who led the way, set off by plane.

Li Zhiqiang is also a former graduate of the school, and he is loyal and good at handling social relationships. During the last Hanzhou, Yao Yayao and he were extremely familiar with each other and got along well with each other.

Yao Yayao traveled lightly, a small trolley case and a laptop bag. Li Zhiqiang has a lot of luggage, several large bags. There is so much baggage that you have to check it in.

Li Zhiqiang said that the transportation in the mountains is inconvenient and the materials are poor, so he is also responsible for sending some supplies to other former colleagues on this trip.

The plane flew for nearly three hours and arrived in a small, low-profile city in a central province. The two then got into a booked daily rental off-road vehicle and continued to rush deep into the mountains.

Yao Yayao, who has never stepped into other provinces in his life, went out for the first time, and he felt a little excited in his heart. In the SUV, he looked out the window curiously, and he didn't get tired of looking at it.

Of course, reality soon taught him how to behave.

The path is getting harder and harder, more and more bumpy. Yao Yayao, who has always disliked sports, was soon stimulated by the rugged roads in the mountains.

Later, Yao Yayao was a little groggy, and only vaguely remembered what he saw with his last eyes, in addition to the mountains and mountains, as well as those bumpy mountain roads with nine twists and eighteen bends.

When Li Zhiqiang woke up Yao Yayao who was napping, Yao Yayao initially thought that he had arrived at his destination. However, it didn't.

The five or six large and small bags on the off-road vehicle have been unloaded and placed on the side of the road. Then, the car slipped back the way it came.

Yao Yayao felt a little lost. Because there is no big road in front of you, only a sheep intestine path in the dense forest. Motorcycles may be able to drive, but cars can't.

Li Zhiqiang said: "The car cannot reach the final destination directly. We'll have to walk for about an hour before we get to the base. ”

Yao Yayao was a little stunned on the spot: "So much luggage, hundreds of pounds, just you and me, how to carry it?" ”

Li Zhiqiang showed an unfathomable smile. He opened one of the bags and pulled out a lockbox made of aluminum alloy. I opened it and took out the contents of it.

The appearance of the lockbox seems to be very advanced, but what it takes out makes Yao Yayao fall through his glasses. is so serious, and what is properly protected in it is just a bamboo broken hat.

It looks a little dilapidated, the traces of age exposed. The only thing that is a little special is probably the looming one above, the traditional "10,000" character in red paint. This word, written by the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, seems to be swayed at will.

Li Zhiqiang took out some stickers prepared in advance and pasted them on each suitcase. On the stickers, they took a carton pen and wrote the number respectively. He took out another rainproof oil blanket cloth, covered all the bags, and pressed a few fist-sized stones that he picked up casually. Then, finally, he put the broken hat on top solemnly. Tie it casually with a rope so that it doesn't get blown away by the wind.

Yao Yayao was stunned throughout the whole process. Li Zhiqiang suddenly said:

"It's a bumpy road, so why don't you put your handbag and suitcase here?" Let's travel lightly, it's four o'clock, we have to go fast. ”

Yao Yayao said blankly: "Put it all here?" What should I do if I lose something? ”

Li Zhiqiang smiled: "This is already the hinterland of the Taro Xiang tribe... Their own people have strict laws, and they dare to steal or rob here, and if they are caught, they will have no arm in public... If you make a bow to the female overlord, the eunuch for a lifetime will be determined from now on... ”

Yao Yayao was surprised: "The public information on Du Niang, I didn't talk about this... ”

Li Zhiqiang smiled: "They are more civilized and subtle. WELL, IT IS CALLED A SOLEMN WARNING TO OUTSIDERS THAT THEY NEED TO RESPECT THE LOCAL FOLK CUSTOMS AND CUSTOMS, AS WELL AS THE LOCAL SECT JIAO BELIEF MATTERS, AND DO NOT CROSS THE LINE TO CAUSE DISPUTES, OTHERWISE THEY WILL BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES. ”

Yao Yayao understood a little: "Heavy rules to control chaos, strict rules to convince the public... It seems to be pretty good, but it's actually protecting everyone. ”

Li Zhiqiang said: "There are many left-behind children here, but human traffickers never dare to cross the border to abduct people here... Those who dared to come were left behind, and they could never go back. ”

Yao Yayao raised his eyebrows: "It's probably because the green grass on the grave is three feet high, right?" ”

Li Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "That's right." ”

Yao Yayao asked, "That's probably not going to throw things casually... But we have all our luggage here, how do we take it to the base? Go to the station and call some people to come and get it? ”

Li Zhiqiang shook his head: "You didn't see this hat?" This is Mr. Wan Qingsong's hat, and the local villagers know it. Later, if they pass by and see it, they will help us move to the station for free, and ensure that we will not lose even a small piece of paper... Teacher Wan is here, and his personal reputation is very great. ”

Yao Yayao was leisurely fascinated: "A broken hat is actually hidden, such a magical summoning power... If one person can do this, then he can probably be regarded as a demigod-level big man, right?! ”

Li Zhiqiang nodded slowly, sighed and said: "The ordinary people in the mountains know what is right and wrong, good and evil. They also know the grace of a drop of water, and the truth that a spring reciprocates each other... On the contrary, it is the beautiful urban home of human beings, those megacities that have a false appearance, under the beautiful shell, now there are many moral degradation, and there are many sins under the night... ”

Yao Yayao hesitated for a moment, and finally took his laptop bag with him and hit the road. Although he saw that Li Zhiqiang's own laptop bag was very casually mixed in the pile of suitcases.

Li Zhiqiang smiled and said nothing.

An hour later, the two reached the foot of a large mountain.

From a long distance, Yao Yayao saw this somewhat special mountain. Because, it is a very pure stone mountain.

Most of them are moss of different sizes and half-possessed strange rocks, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other. Green vegetation and tall trees above the peaks are scarce.

Some tall tower-type wire frames can be faintly seen on the hill. Other than that, there are no traces of human buildings.

Yao Yayao remembered what Bu might have said, about Teacher Wan Qingsong's seclusion in the mountains, and couldn't help but search desperately with wide eyes. Later, I remembered that people lived in a natural cave, which was naturally difficult to find with the naked eye.

At the foot of the Stone Mountain, there is a large flat land that has been artificially leveled. There are many man-made buildings here, but most of them are no more than three stories high.

Soon, Yao Yayao saw the villa manor at the foot of the mountain that Bu might have said. It is Jiangnan style, Athenian chic, occupies a lot of land, but there are no walls.

A few hundred meters away from the villa is the destination of Yao Yayao's trip: a huge building in the shape of "Hui".

This building has a memorial arch-style gate building mark, and the name on it is: "Qinghua University Alumni Association Stone Mountain Cultural Poverty Alleviation Base".

After a long journey, Yao Yayao, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was in no mood to walk around the scenery at all. As a southerner, the first thing he wanted to do was to take a shower in the rest room of the station, and then lie down on the big bed for a while.

The Yingpan room is similar to the decoration layout of a four-star hotel, clean and hygienic, spacious and bright, and the hardware is very good.

Something magical happened soon. Half an hour later, Li Zhiqiang came to him and told him that all the luggage had been sent to the reception hall at the entrance of the base intact by the local enthusiastic villagers!

Yao Yayao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He usually likes to read all kinds of news on "Today's Headlines", and what he sees is that in some places, if the truck accidentally overturns on the side of the road, then in some nearby villages, almost all the people in a village, will beat gongs and drums and come over collectively to "take the sheep by the hand".

How can the horizontal comparison between people's hearts in different places be so different?!

Perhaps, the last peach blossom source in the world is now only available in some deep mountains and old forests, right?

From this point of view, perhaps Wan Qingsong and his wife have indeed made the right choice in life. At the very least, they have succeeded in avoiding all kinds of deceitful struggles in the world.
