Chapter 243: My Old Town

"Why are there so many mountains in this area?" Sitting in the passenger seat, Zeng Liu grabbed the armrest next to him, felt the bumps and tilt of the body, and asked Chen Xin nervously.

They weren't nervous, because they were driving on a slope right now, and the whole body was tilted at least 15 degrees, and it felt like they were about to slide down.

Chen Xin is not nervous about this, he is very confident in the grip and side-slope traffic ability of his car, even if it is a 30° slope, the car will not slide down, let alone only 15° now.

However, Chen Xin still answered Zeng Liu's question and explained to her: "Because this area belongs to the eastern extension of the Dabie Mountain Range, and the main peak of the Dabie Mountain is in this area, it is normal to be mountainous, otherwise the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Revolutionary Base Area would not have been established here, and Liu Deng's army would not have advanced into the Dabie Mountain during the Liberation War." ”

"Is this also Dabie Mountain?" Of course, Zeng Liu knew the name Dabie Mountain, in fact, the county seat where she was originally located was also within the scope of Dabie Mountain, but she didn't expect that it was all out of Hubei Province, and it was still within the scope of Dabie Mountain.

"What's so strange about this, Dabie Mountain covers Hubei Province, Henan Province, Anhui Province, Wuhan in the west, Nanjing in the east, is a large mountain range, but not a mountain!" As an online writer, Chen Xin will not think that Dabie Mountain is as simple as a mountain like ordinary people.

"I know that! But—ah! Zeng Liu was saying something, but the body suddenly shook, and all the words she wanted to say were swallowed back.

The shaking body returned to level, and it turned out that the shaking just now was that they had passed the slope and re-entered the gentle section.

Interrupted like this, Zeng Liu did not continue to discuss the topic of Dabie Mountain with Chen Xin, but asked him instead: "Mr. Chen Xin, is your hometown in Dabie Mountain?" Where we're going is also in the mountains? ”

"It's me, not us, I'll put you down in the next shelter." Chen Xin reiterated this before explaining: "Strictly speaking, my hometown should be regarded as the remnant of Dabie Mountain, but you are right, the place I want to go to is indeed in the mountains. ”

Hearing Chen Xin say this, Zeng Liu bit his lip, not knowing what he was thinking.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "Then are we going to continue east?" ”

"Yes, continue to the east, after passing through this county, it can be regarded as entering the area where my hometown Shuzhou is located." As Chen Xin spoke, he called up the map on the console and explained the next itinerary to Zeng Liu: "Now we are in Yuexi County, I will pass through the county seat, if there is a shelter there, I will drop you down there, and then I will continue to the east and enter Shuzhou County along the provincial road." ”

Zeng Liu looked at the map that Chen Xin had called up and the route marked with red lines on the map, and suddenly asked Chen Xin on a whim: "Mr. Chen Xin, what if the population of Yuexi County also migrates like the county seat we passed through before?" ”

"Then I will take you to Shuzhou County." Chen Xin glanced at Zeng Liu, not knowing what she was thinking, but still gave an affirmative answer.

After getting Chen Xin's reply, Zeng Liu nodded and didn't say anything more.

————————————————————

Things do seem to be going in a bad direction, and Chen Xin, the county seat of Yuexi County, still hasn't found an official shelter that is still in operation.

This made Zeng Liu's hearts suddenly cast a shadow, and they were more and more optimistic about their future.

Chen Xin didn't think there was any problem with this matter, Yuexi County is also the same as the two counties in Chen Xin's road in Hubei Province before, not to mention the mountainous area, there is no other mode of transportation in the county except for the road, in today's environment, it is not impossible or very strange to move the population out.

As for his hometown of Shuzhou County, Chen Xin is not very worried about being relocated, because Shuzhou County has a railway.

As long as rail transport is not cut off and supplies can be imported in a steady stream, then the refuge in the area will be able to operate without the need to take into account migration.

After all, migration can ensure that the majority of people in a given area will survive, but it will also put a lot of pressure on the moving area, so the state will not easily move the entire population of an area unless it is necessary.

So although Zeng Liu and the others seemed very nervous and worried about their future, Chen Xin didn't care about these things.

All he could think about now was to hurry through this last leg of the journey and arrive at his hometown to pick up his parents.

Therefore, Chen Xin did not continue to delay in Yuexi County, where there were no people, but drove directly through the city towards his hometown.

In Chen Xin's memory, the village where his relatives are located is not too far from Yuexi County, and it used to take only half an hour to drive there, and even now it takes less than a day to walk there.

Walking on the road that he felt gradually familiar, Chen Xin's mood also became a little excited and expectant.

Although he and his parents had not seen each other for a long time before, he could call or contact in other ways before the disaster, and Chen Xin could know the situation of his parents at any time.

This made him more and more eager to see his parents now, so that the speed of the car was also driven faster and faster by him, so that Zeng Liu on the side had to remind Chen Xin to slow down.

was reminded by Zeng Liu, Chen Xin slowed down the car again, and said sorry to her: "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited." ”

"I can understand that if it were me, I would be very excited." Zeng Liu's words were a little sad, although she had not experienced the separation from her parents and family, but her parents and family had all stayed in that county seat.

Chen Xin nodded slightly, only adjusted his mood before saying: "I will go to see my parents first, the last message they gave me before the disaster is that they live with my relatives in the village shelter, I hope that it is not relocated, otherwise we will have to walk another day into the county seat." ”

"Mr. Chen Xin, don't you want to go to the county seat?" Zeng Liu looked at Chen Xin and felt that he seemed to be a little repulsed by the county seat.

"No, I still have to go to the county seat, at least I will send you to the county seat." Chen Xin didn't explain anything, just replied simply, and then concentrated on driving again.

Zeng Liu was thoughtful, but she didn't say anything more, so she fell silent.

The road from Yuexi County to Chen Xin's hometown was not long, and although the mountain road was rugged, it took Chen Xin three or four hours to reach the nearest town to the mountain village where his parents and relatives lived.

To Chen Xin's surprise, he was ready for the town to be empty, but there was a shelter in the town that was still in operation.

And what especially surprised Chen Xin was that there were several times more people in the town than he remembered, and there was even a feeling that there was more than one shelter.

Chen Xin's car entered the town, and was naturally discovered by the people in the town, and everyone looked at the two unusual tracked RVs vigilantly, and quickly called the town's police.

"Hello comrade, where did you come from?" After Chen Xin stopped the car, the police quickly came to the car window, and when Chen Xin lowered the window, they asked him.

"I'm from Hunan Province." Chen Xin answered the police's questions, and in order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Chen Xin also took the initiative to explain: "My hometown is also here, and I came back to pick up my parents." ”

"You drove here from Hunan Province? In this environment, you can actually drive the car over, which is also a good ability! When the police heard Chen Xin say that he was from Hunan Province, they immediately showed a look of surprise and admiration at him.

Chen Xin didn't say much about this, just smiled, although it was indeed not easy to walk along the way, and his arms were broken when he practiced by himself, but there was no need to talk to the police about this kind of thing.

"My family is from XX Village, what is the situation there now? I remember that before the meteorite fell, my family told me that there was a shelter there. Chen Xin asked the police about the situation of his relatives in his hometown, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

When the police heard Chen Xin's inquiry, they didn't think anything was strange, but they just thought for a moment and replied, "XX Village? Oh, and the situation seems to be okay over there, the county will transport supplies to the town every month, and then the town will deliver them to these villages in batches once a week. To be honest, these village shelters are a little more comfortable than the ones in the town, there are too many people in the town. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xin finally put his mind at ease, and a big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground, what he was most afraid of was that something happened to his hometown village, or simply the people in the village were moved.

After relieving himself, Chen Xin couldn't help but be attracted by another incident mentioned by the police, so he asked curiously: "Why are there so many people in the town?" I remember there weren't so many people in the town before, right? ”

"You remember correctly, there used to be more than 20,000 people in the town, and most of them were still in the countryside and various villages, and there were really not many people in the town." The policeman nodded, and then explained to Chen Xin a little helplessly: "But in order to prevent disasters, the country moved all the population of coastal cities inward, and Anhui Province is next to Zhejiang Province and Su Province, and a large part of the population of these two provinces has moved to our Anhui Province, and they have been resettled down, even if we have more than 50,000 people in this broken town, we have built three shelters, and we are also very busy." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but shake his head and sighed as well, and then asked the police: "Then if I want to go to XX Village now, is the road still passable?" ”

"The road is impassable, but if you go up along the river, you can still get to XX Village, with the appearance of your car, no problem." The policeman glanced at the tracks under Chen's new car and gave him a thumbs up.
