If the old man's hoe hits Zhang Li, not to mention that he will be killed on the spot, he will at least be seriously injured, everything comes too suddenly, if he is an ordinary person, it is too late to save Zhang Li, fortunately, the person next to Zhang Li is Lin Tao, I saw Lin Tao turn sideways, and suddenly hugged Zhang Li's waist, and then pulled his arm hard, and suddenly hugged Zhang Li to his side, and the whistling hoe just hit Zhang Li's body.

When the hoe landed, Lin Tao kicked the hoe with his toes and directly kicked the hoe out of the old man's hand.

"Old man, if you have something to say, why do you come up and kill you?"

Lin Tao's face turned cold, and he stared at the old man and asked.

The old man looked to be in his sixties, wearing a black linen pants on his lower body, the pants were not worn out, and there was a large patch on his buttocks, and his shirt was also a white linen shirt, but the white had been worn as light gray, and his face was wrinkled and looked like he was seventy or eighty years old.

I saw him staring at the two of them with blazing eyes, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" What are you doing on our side? ”

Lin Tao still hugged Zhang Li, who was trembling, and did not let go, and explained to the old man in a loud voice: "Didn't you already say it just now, the lady next to me is the director of the municipal government office, and I am from the provincial capital, and the main purpose of coming with Director Zhang this time is to carry out poverty alleviation work for Yongquan Village." ”

"Poverty alleviation?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then understood what Lin Tao meant, and snorted coldly: "I don't need you to pretend, we are doing very well, we don't need to alleviate poverty, if there is nothing else, please leave immediately!" ”

Lin Taoxin said that he really responded to the sentence 'poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people', and he came to help them improve their lives with good intentions, who knew that the other party didn't appreciate it, and even fought a lot, which is simply unreasonable.

"We finally climbed up from the bottom of the mountain, and you won't even let us into the village? Why don't you let us in and have a drink? ”

"Not welcome!"

Lin Tao's face turned a little colder, and he said in a deep voice: "Call your village chief over!" ”

The old man stared at Lin Tao playfully, "I'm the village chief!" ”

Lin Tao: "......"

"Lin Tao, let's go, let the people of this kind of ghost place fend for themselves!"

Zhang Li came to her senses at this time, and said to Lin Tao with an angry look on her face.

Lin Tao said: "Since you have come up, you have to go into the village to have a look, otherwise what a pity!" ”

"What do you see? No matter how fate is gone, do you see how fierce the people here are? ”

"It's okay, I'm here, I won't let you have an accident!" Lin Tao smiled and comforted, then looked at the old man again, and said, "Since you are the village of Yongquan Village, you should look like a village, right?" We came to Yongquan Village to alleviate poverty, why did you drive us out of the village? We didn't do anything to harm the interests of your village, did we? ”

The old man stared at Lin Tao and Zhang Li cautiously several times, frowned and said, "Aren't you in the same group as those people a few days ago?" ”

Lin Tao was surrounded by the clouds and mountains of the old man's question, and asked in confusion: "What kind of people?" I don't even know what you're talking about, Director Zhang and I just arrived in Yongquan Village, and we were stopped by you before we entered the village, we are both coming to Yongquan Village for the first time. ”

The old man asked questioningly, "How do you prove it?" ”

Zhang Li hurriedly took out the work from Kun's bag and handed it to the old man, saying, "This is my work card from the municipal government, which can prove my identity." ”

The old man took it and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "I can't read, but there is a red five-pointed star seal on it, I understand this, it is from the official family." ”

Handing back the work card to Zhang Li, he believed in the identities of the two a little, with an apologetic smile on his face, and said: "I'm really sorry for the two, don't blame me for being nervous, a few days ago there were a few gravediggers, and there was a lot of movement, which seriously affected the life in our village, and the mountains were buried with our ancestors, so we naturally wanted to stop them, so we clashed with them, resulting in several villagers being injured......"

"And this kind of thing?"

Zhang Li's eyes widened, her face was incredible, and she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and said, "I'll let the police from the town police station come over to investigate." ”

"No need, these people are unreliable, our village can guard this land by ourselves!"

Lin Tao said: "Village chief, we are not all the way with that group of people, and the purpose of this time is indeed to help the poor in Yongquan Village and make the villagers live a better life." ”

"I'm sorry I misunderstood you just now!" The village chief grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth blackened by dirt smoke.

When Lin Tao saw it, he took out a cigarette from his body and handed it to the old village chief.

The village chief took it rarely, put it in his nose and sniffed it, showing a look of enjoyment, and then carefully put the cigarette in his pocket.

"It's all for you!" Lin Tao smiled and handed over the remaining half of the box of cigarettes.

The village chief smiled: "How embarrassing is that? ”

"It's okay, I'll buy it again when I go down the mountain!"

The village chief took the cigarette, put it in the pocket of his shirt like a treasure, and then warmly invited the two into the village.

Lin Tao chatted with the village chief as he walked to the village, "Village chief, how many families are there in this Yongquan Village now?" ”

"Counting those who went out of the village chief and went to work in other places, there are still 53 households."

Lin Tao nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Are there any young people in the village?" ”

"Yes, there are, but there are not many of them, there are almost 30 young people in the village who choose to go to the city to work, our village is too remote, the living conditions are not good, and the young people in the village are not willing to stay in the village."

Lin Tao thinks this is understandable, after all, now that science and technology are developed, society is also progressing, how wonderful is the world of flowers outside, how many young people can stay in the mountains and endure loneliness?

The three of them chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the door of the village chief's house.

The village chief's house was also a mud house, with a mud fence on the outside, and two mud houses inside the wall, one for him and his wife, and the other for his son.

"The two of you, please, the home is too simple, I hope you don't dislike it."

"Old man, who's coming? Is our grandson back? ”

As the three of them walked towards the wall, they heard an old lady inquiring from inside.

"It's not the little rabbit cub, it's the big leader of the city who is here."

Zhang Li hurriedly smiled: "The village chief is joking, I'm not a big leader, and I'm also a miscellaneous person in the city." ”

At this time, the village chief's wife walked out of the mud house with steps, and when she saw Lin Tao and Zhang Li, she showed a kind smile on her face, and said, "The two leaders are invited to come inside, let's eat at our house at noon, but there are no good dishes." ”

The old village chief said with a grin: "The distinguished guest is here, kill one of our old hens." ”

As soon as the old lady heard that she was going to kill chickens, she suddenly felt a pain in her flesh, the old hen was able to lay eggs, but she still obeyed the meaning of the village chief, and was about to get a knife to kill the chickens, when she was stopped by Lin Tao, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't be busy, we came up this time to help the poor in Yongquan Village, you finally raised some chickens, if we killed the chickens because of our arrival, then wouldn't we cause you trouble." ”

After a pause, Lin Tao glanced at Zhang Li with a smile and continued: "Director Zhang and I are not picky eaters, so you are welcome." ”

"That?" The old lady looked at the old village chief.

The village chief grinned and said, "Come on, then you will be wronged." ”

The four of them entered the mud house in turn, and the room was very small, except for a small hall and a small bedroom in the back room.

There was a dilapidated counter in the hall, and there was nothing left except for a table with missing corners and three chairs.

A porcelain basin was placed on the table, and a few green vegetable leaves floated in the clear soup in the basin, and there was no other food.

The village chief smiled awkwardly and said to Lin Tao and Zhang Li: "I'm really embarrassed, I didn't know that the two of you were coming, it was too shabby." ”

Zhang Li smiled mildly and said, "Village Chief, don't say that, we didn't come up to rub your big fish and meat, just to fill your stomach." ”

Lin Tao stood aside, looked at a pot of clear soup and little watery food, and smiled bitterly in his heart, "I'm afraid it's hard to fill your stomach." ”

After eating a simple lunch, the old lady went out to do farm work, while the old village chief stayed behind to chat with Lin Tao and Zhang Li.

After pouring tea for Lin Tao and Zhang Li, the old village chief smiled and said, "This is the tea grown by my family, you can taste it." ”

Lin Tao picked up the cup, sniffed the heat, and couldn't help nodding and exclaiming: "It's good tea, it smells fragrant." ”

"Isn't it?" The old village chief smiled proudly: "The soil here is very fertile, and anything can be grown well." ”

Lin Tao listened to the words of the old village chief, his heart moved slightly, and he instantly had a good idea in his mind, but he couldn't put it into practice for the time being.

"What do the villagers lack most now?" Lin Tao held the teacup and asked the old village chief.

The old village chief smiled bitterly: "You have also seen it, our village chief is like this, what is not lacking?" ”

Lin Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, I wanted to get more living supplies for the villagers, but this mountain road is difficult to walk, and the materials are really difficult to transport." ”

The old village chief nodded and said, "Yes, let alone carrying things, it is very difficult to walk normally." After a pause, he sighed a little distractedly and said, "I haven't been down the mountain for years. ”

Zhang Li was curious: "Village chief, why don't you go down the mountain and go around?" Now the living conditions at the foot of the mountain are very good. ”

The old village chief showed a wry smile again and said, "I'm old, where can I still walk on that kind of difficult mountain road, and I will lose my life if I am not careful." ”

Lin Tao listened to the words of the old village chief, and then thought of an idea he had thought of before, and was suddenly inspired, looked at Zhang Li, and asked, "If you take a cable car from the bottom of the mountain to the head of the village, do you think it can be realized?" ”

Zhang Li was slightly stunned, glanced at Lin Tao, frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "It should be no problem, but the cost is a bit big." ”

The subtext is to build a cable car for more than 50 villagers in Yongquan Village, which is really not cost-effective.

Lin Tao smiled incomprehensibly when he heard this, and a complete planning map appeared in his mind.
