Chapter 64: Deep in the Mountains
After that, Wu Zhihong also played the video to Forging Feng and a few of them to watch, Yuan Muye made a rough estimate after watching it, not counting Lan and Li in the video, at least five travelers went up the mountain with them.
This is a serious problem, because now they have only found Lan Yuxuan and Li Chengqi, which means that the rest of the people are either all lost in the mountains, or they are infected with this strange disease like the two of them and their lives and deaths are unknown.
Considering the seriousness of the situation, the local relevant departments immediately organized personnel to go up the mountain to search, because Lan Yuxuan and his group had clearly proposed in the video that they wanted to explore Qianqian Village, so the searchers set the search scope in the mountainous area near Qianjin Village from the beginning.
So they approached a local guide to inquire about the specific route to Qianqian Village...... As a result, I asked a few guides, but no one had heard of the place of Qianqian Village?!
Later, the staff learned through the local civil affairs department that it was indeed a place called "Qianqian Village" more than 40 years ago, but later for unknown reasons, the villagers of the village were collectively moved out of the mountains and settled in the county seat. I don't know where this group of young people learned that there was such a place before, and they had to go to the mountains to find it.
As a result, when the staff found the villagers of Qianqian Village, who had moved to the county to live before, they found that their average age was over 80 years old.
I don't know why, these old people have a very strange place, that is, they all have no children, and they all belong to the lonely old people who are supported by the government. And none of them can listen to the name of "Qianqian Village", and whoever wants to mention it is like asking them for half their lives.
Unable to ask anything from these old people's mouths, Wu Zhihong and the others had to find another way, and finally found a herb dealer, saying that his grandfather had been to that village and could tell the approximate location.
With an approximate location, a rescue team of fifteen people set off three days ago for the small village lost in the mountains. And the hospital also invited experts in infectious diseases from the province to consult to see what viruses Lan Yuxuan and Li Chengqi were infected with.
When things came to this point, Wu Zhihong and the others hadn't thought about inviting people from No. 54 to come over, because don't look at their small place, but they are still very professional in the field of search and rescue, after all, they have travelers here all year round, so they are not lagging behind other places in this regard.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the rescue team lost contact with the rescue headquarters at the bottom of the mountain the day after entering the mountain, and they tried all the communication equipment but could not contact the rescue team.
In this way, the situation has become even more serious, the missing person has not been found, and the rescuer who went into the mountain to rescue himself has lost himself again! Just when the local leaders were anxious to send another rescue team into the mountain, an old comrade who had been retired for many years heard about the incident, and he immediately called the local "number one" and asked him to quickly withdraw the rescuers of the second echelon from the mountain!
Although this veteran comrade has been retired for many years, his status in the local area is still quite high, first, because he has indeed made a lot of contributions to the local area during his term of office, and second, because he is also old enough, and he is already over 90 years old this year, and no one knows better than him about the situation in Dibao County several decades ago.
The reason why this veteran comrade insisted that the leaders of Dibao County must withdraw the second echelon from the mountains was entirely because of an incident more than 40 years ago...... Although so many years have passed, every time he thinks about it, it still makes him shudder.
This old comrade's name is Ji Shengli, and he was a civil affairs cadre in Dibao County back then. One year, because of his work, he had to go to a place called Qianqian Village deep in the mountains to do research.
The location of this Qianqian village is remote and the transportation is inconvenient, and the people in the village have to walk dozens of kilometers of mountain roads to get out of the mountains...... Sometimes it is cloudy and rainy and even unable to get out of the village, so if the people in this village usually do not have any fatal events, they basically will not leave the village, and there are even many people who have not even registered because it is inconvenient to go out.
Ji Shengli went to the village mainly to survey the number of people in the village, if there were more black households, he wanted to apply to the leader, to see if he could coordinate with various units to help those villagers register first.
At first, Ji Shengli thought that this Qianqian Village was at most far away, and the road was more difficult to walk, and after he finished the population census this time, he would see if he could find a way to repair the road in and out.
His idea was very good, but the fellow who took him into the mountain smiled and didn't say anything when he heard it, and when he walked down the way, he found that it was too unrealistic to want to build a road for Qianqian Village, and the amount of work was huge, so it was not very cost-effective. It's better to move the entire Qianjin Village out of the mountains directly!
Ji Shengli's first feeling when he came to Qianqian Village was that it was too backward, not to mention any electric lights and telephones, and there was no electricity...... The whole village can only rely on the sky to eat, the whole village is full of food in good years, and when the year is bad, the whole village has to go into the mountains to dig out mountain goods.
Because Ji Shengli is a cadre from the county, the village chief received him with the highest grade in the village. But Rao is like this, Ji Shengli glanced at the food on the table and still couldn't eat a bite. It's not that Ji Shengli picks his mouth, but that the food on that table is really hard to swallow......
At that time, people's living conditions were not very good, and even eating meat in a county town with a better economy was a luxury, let alone in such a backward place as Qianjin Village.
When the people in the village have no money to buy meat and want to eat meat, they have to go into the mountains to get some game, and over time they eat more and more vigorously, what kind of flying in the sky and running in the ground...... Except for the four-legged table and stool that they didn't dare to eat, there was almost nothing left that they didn't dare to eat.
The meat dishes on the table would be fine if they were really pheasants and hares, but they were only plates of snakes, insects, rats and ants, which made Ji Shengli, who was used to eating normal food, really unable to eat...... But after all, this was people's hospitality, so he had to bite the bullet and eat a few bites of wild vegetables and mountain fungus.
Ji Shengli thought that after he explained his intentions, the people in the village should be very supportive of his idea, but what he didn't expect was that when he proposed that he would apply to his superiors to relocate Qianjin Village collectively, all the people in the village stood up against it.
The village chief said directly to Ji Shengli at that time, "Cadre Ji, I know you are kind, but we have been living here all our lives, and you suddenly said that we should leave our homes and live elsewhere...... We certainly don't want to. Yes, our conditions here are far worse than those in the county, but we have long been accustomed to this kind of life, so we don't feel much bitterness at all. ”
