Ji Conan and the others went to the village committee, Xiao Yan was the person in charge of the project site, and Lao Yan was the deputy and the person in charge, and they had already arrived there and sat there respectfully waiting. After they received a call from Lao Tan of the county branch in the morning, they arranged things at home early and waited for them in the office.

The entire village is dotted with farms and houses scattered all over the hillside, with farmhouses between farmlands and farmland between them, and an improvised road winds through the village.

The morning sun shines on the whole village, looking golden and very pleasing to the eye. Ji Conan thought to himself, this place is good, living here for the elderly, it is a good choice, there is no competition, and there is no need to worry about the position, as long as you keep it in the middle, write novels, drink coffee, it is a very comfortable life.

He thought, more importantly, that in the future, when the child grows up, he has his own career and pursuits, and he lives in a poor rural area, as long as he has the Internet.

It is a place where you can breathe fresh air, drink clean water, have no war, no plague, no blood and tears, no separation of loved ones, no matter what, it is a paradise. However, many people do not know how to cherish life, and they are always trying to make more people fall into misery. These people either belong to the devil or belong to the devil's disciples.

They came today to help Xiao Yan and Lao Yan elect and set up a drinking water project management committee. This is a request from the head of the unit, somewhat similar to the task force, which can be disbanded after completing the task.

But what else is it going to see? If you can do it, you can do it. No, forget it.

Lao Tan and Ji Conan of the county branch met with these two project leaders in Guizhou, but Togo and Shen Jing did not meet, so they first introduced them, and then put forward their requirements straight to the point.

Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed, but Lao Yan was cheerful and expressed his willingness to do it immediately. After exchanging views with Xiao Yan, he went to inform the villagers' representatives that there was one quota for each household, and they quickly went to the office of the project site to gather.

The requirements were announced. was nominated immediately, and one of them, Yan Bo, got the most votes. Finally, with a few others, a total of five members were elected to the management committee, and one of them was a woman, who was Yan Bo's woman. Yan Bo's woman will not be bad. Yan Bo is a good person, and he is very good at calculating others, and he will never suffer. However, for comprehensiveness, it is a little worse, and for the master plan, it is not very good. If you talk about organizational skills, he's not bad, and it's okay to convene people to participate in events, and they can easily handle it, that's right.

The management committee immediately put into work and proposed to Lao Tan to buy some water pipes, because the construction was about to be put into construction, and there was no water on the site of the new pool, so it could not be operated. Lao Tan immediately said: "This can help solve it, do you have any other requirements?" ”

Yan Bo said: "So, when will the cement arrive? ”

Lao Tan said: "Centralized purchase, we signed a contract with the cement plant, according to the progress of the project, at any time, the first task is to excavate the earth and prepare sand and gravel." ”

Yan Bo understood this very well, and immediately nodded yes. Xiao Yan and Lao Yan couldn't interject.

Xiao Yan was silent and asked him which pool of water he was going to drink, and he said: "Of course, the closer the better, so that you can save the water pipes and save the limited money to do more things." ”

Everyone nodded, thinking that Xiao Yan is shrewd, worthy of being a cultured, willing to use his brain, and willing to study, but not ordinary, he can come up with good ideas at critical moments, and he really applies what he has learned, so that knowledge becomes alive and becomes productivity, which is amazing.

When Lao Tan asked where Lao Yan was going to drink. Lao Yan said: "You don't have to worry about this, we live uphill, the water comes from above, of course we have to build the pool higher than the house, and the new pool there is in charge of our management committee." If it's convenient, I still drink the water near my house, but the address of the pool may be a bit low, and the pressure of my water is not enough, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can ensure that most farmers have enough water. The minority obeys the majority, sacrifices personal interests, seeks welfare for everyone, and benefits everyone is what village cadres should do. ”

When everyone heard this, they applauded. It's really impressive. Ji Conan thought about it, people will say that it will also hurt people. The old secretary died unjustly in vain, and he didn't know which bright devil sued him.

After the meeting, they returned to the county seat.

The county and the countryside are negligible on the map, and the plane distance is a little bit, but when I got to the field, I found that the difference was too far, and it took more than half a day to walk, and when I was desperate and couldn't see a glimmer of hope, it was almost the time, and at this time I would deeply understand the hardships of life, and even walking, it became so heavy.

Because I am new to the city, I still have a feeling, and I did not choose to be in the farther mountainous area, otherwise, I would need to walk for a day to reach the county seat. It is unimaginable that it is too big to return to the state and county. The big is in the mountains, and I don't know how many bends and rivers I have to go through to reach my destination. The mountain road is bent, built according to the mountain, the lines are very beautiful, the arc is just right, the road is built on the basis of the mountain, the road is very beautiful. This is God's precious gift to the mountain people. In the city, the roads are straight, without twists and turns, just like crosswords in the grid, which is a kind of game, which seems to be a bit mechanical and rigid, without change, and not very beautiful. After a long drive, you might even go fishing. The roads in the mountains look the same, but if you look closely, there is a real difference. There are changes to make it beautiful.

The reason why people in the mountains are reluctant to enter the city is very simple, that is, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, which is an indisputable fact. However, sometimes, you have to go to the county seat, which has no choice but to go, under normal circumstances, it is by car; Or on a motorcycle, or on foot. Walking is the hardest part, and you have to climb mountains and mountains.

It's not easy to get by car, you need to take a winding road, and the vertical distance is not much, but the curve distance is very far.

The next day, I looked at the water pipes with Yan Bo and others, compared the prices, and then bought some of them for construction.

This is what he proposed, and it stands to reason that he opened a commissary, which had some inventory, and some of the people in the village found some small puddles and bought pipes, which could be connected to their homes. He opened a store, and the store didn't prepare some water pipes, which really made people anxious. He must go to buy the goods when they are not sold out, so as not to run out of goods when they get it, then it will be troublesome, and the customer can't be left empty-handed, right? There are still some water pipes in his warehouse, but he is reluctant to take them out, he still thinks in his bones that this is an external project, it is someone else's concern, everyone's business, everyone's business, everyone's business, you can't take your own things out, I'm afraid that everyone will die.

Because of this, he is careful everywhere. Ji Conan faintly felt that this village was a bit complicated, although they all had the same surname, but each person's heart had its own account, first satisfy their own selfish desires, no matter what frost others were.

Yan Bo often goes to the county to buy goods, of course, he knows some ways to buy goods, and knows which shop has credit, good quality and low price, and does not cheat people, so he buys in which one, and the goods purchased are not much, and it does not hurt his muscles and bones. Let's try it out and see if it's a good idea. Yan Bo is in charge of managing the supplies. Together, they found a pickup truck to transport the water pipes back to the village.

Because the pickup truck can't fit so many people. In mountainous areas, dual-purpose vehicles are very popular. Villagers can't avoid dealing with agricultural materials, engaging in production, and need more time to manage their farmland.

In addition, it is necessary to deal with the affairs of agriculture and agriculture more carefully, which is not something that outsiders care about and do, but what every villager has to do, so they often take a car into the city and then return, so that the traffic in the mountains is developed, and the driver can also profit from it, talk to support the family, or even live a well-off life, so that the life is nourishing.

So Ji Conan and another member of the management committee took another car back to the village. The man's name was Yan Erduo, and he said, "Yan Bo is a human trafficker. ”

Ji Conan asked curiously, "How do you know?" ”

"There is nothing that the old and young masters in our village don't know."

Xu Erduo said, "This kid has a bright brain, he talks about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, and people choose him to manage water conservancy projects, because the village is complicated." The hearts of the people are not in harmony, there are no good deeds, but there is a big basket of bad deeds, and he is called 'fighting poison with poison'. ”

He smiled and asked, "Is it true?" ”

"Of course it's true." Xu Erduo said, "This kid made a fortune by abducting and selling women. Just near the office of the project site, he opened a commissary there, relying on an iron mouth, and Xiao En Xiaohui won people's hearts, including the project officer, Xiao Yan and Lao Yan, all of whom were won over by him, so that they could be sheltered by all sides. If nothing else, it is to open a store at the project point, and most people don't even think about it. This kid has a doorway. Feed them so well that he can meddle in anything. He abducted and sold women, not plainly, but nominally as a 'red master'. ”

Ji Conan was very curious and asked, "'Red Master'?" ”

He said: "'Red Master' is a matchmaker, introducing people to people, and matchmaking. He used this name to look for suitable girls everywhere, and the nearby towns knew him, and he introduced girls, or divorced women, to distant places through layers of relationships, in the name of marrying far away, but in fact, there was no return, but some people thought he was doing good deeds, and they were very respectful to him. thinks that he has the ability to take them out of the poor mountain village and towards the sunny road of happiness, and live a happy life from then on. ”

Ji Conan was surprised, I really can't see it!

Xu Erduo continued: "This kid, just by abducting and selling women, at least has this number in his hand. Ji Conan looked at him and mysteriously stretched out five fingers. He asked, "Is it fifty thousand?" ”

He shook his head, and Ji Conan then guessed: "It's 500,000?" ”

He shook his head again, Ji Conan didn't dare to guess anymore. I can't imagine how many women this scumbag has harmed. It ruined the happiness of this woman's life, destroyed the beautiful life plan, disrupted the plan, and made people collapse. Some films and television reflect the tragic fate of abducted women. This phenomenon really happened around Ji Conan, who used to always think that it was artistic processing, and it was made up behind closed doors at home, but in fact, it was still terrifying to hear the real story. This guy is really harmful! I really hope that they can return to their hometowns, reunite with their families, and live a happy and contented life.

Xu Erduo said: "The mountains are high and the roads are long, and with their protection, how many of us peasants know the law, so we have to accept our fate." There are also reports, but the case-handling personnel are here, but they just go through the motions, and after eating and taking them, they can't do it. I couldn't twist my arms around my thighs, so I had to forget it. ”

The car began to go uphill along the winding mountain road, and it was so loud that you had to listen carefully to hear what Xu Erduo said. Fortunately, Ji Conan's hearing is good, and his hearing test results were so-so before, and he listened to Xu Erduo without much effort.

He continued: "Yan Bo is evil, God is fair, give them two girls, but there is no son, his father is an only son, his grandfather is an only son, he is also an only son, this time, even if he is the last in his generation, although he works overtime day and night, he can't get a pension." In our place, if you can't give birth to a son, it's not easy to raise your head, everyone thinks that he is useless, he is cut off from his children and grandchildren, and he must not do good deeds, this is heavenly retribution, God is punishing, and he should reflect on it and accumulate good deeds, so that he can hope to be passed on to future generations. ”

Ji Conan said: "Don't you like girls more here? ”

He said: "You are talking about the south, where there are more ethnic minorities, and we have fewer here, and the south, that is, Jiangnan, in some mountainous areas above six kilometers, are basically ethnic minorities, and the Miao and Tujia people are the most. We have the most Han nationality here, and they are still patriarchal. Investigate and ask us what kind of race we are. How do we know. The investigator said: "Just go to the Tujia family, there are many preferential policies, and the doll can get extra points in the future." We thought about it, this is the truth, and we registered as a 'Tujia'. Actually, our ancestors migrated from Koto. I don't know what nationality it is. ”

Ji Conan smiled, so it was. Obviously, everyone doesn't pay attention to the election and registration, what nationality it is, who to choose, it's very casual, because if you don't vote, others will also choose. My will has never been respected, so being afraid of exercising my rights is also a formality, a false thing. Over time, it becomes difficult to believe that people can be selected who will truly serve the people. The hopes of the villagers rested on their conscience, which was the most unreliable.

As he was talking, the car suddenly stopped, and Yan Bo ran over angrily and slammed the car door open. When Xu Erduo saw this, his face turned green, he got out of the car in a panic, and looked at Yan Bo timidly, not knowing what Yan Bo was going to do.

Yan Bo didn't say a word, and when he saw Ji Conan, he immediately became respectful, Ji Conan felt that something was wrong, but in front of him, an outsider, Yan Bo was not good. What is it?
