As the name suggests, the village is located in the valley, the village is not large, the number of households is not more than 100, the population is less than 300 or 400, it is a village that will not be marked on the county map, located alone in the mountains.

After all, the flat land area on the mountain that can be used to grow crops is very small, and the grain produced by the whole village every year is only enough for the whole village to continue to eat.

The most important thing is that the transportation between the village and the outside is not convenient, and it takes at least half a day to walk from the mountain village to the nearest town.

Therefore, even if the dolls in the mountain village reach the age of going to school, they have not gone to school, the road is too far is one thing, although that little tuition fee is nothing in the eyes of people in other places, but for the villagers who can not eat enough all year round, it is a big burden, so the dolls of each family in the mountain village have been wild with them for a few years when they were young, and when they are in their early teens, the female doll wants to find a mother-in-law to marry out, and the male doll has to carry a hoe to accompany the adults in the family to go to the ground to eat. In fact, the ancestors of the mountain village have come over like this for generations, and the villagers don't think it's a big deal.

The villagers work in the mountains all year round, and the outcome in exchange is nothing more than a starvation not to death, starvation is not to die, perhaps it is the only life belief that has been passed down by the ancestors of the mountain village for generations, to live, is to starve not to die, very direct, very simple.

However, there was one person who was not happy. He has always been very worried about the current situation in the village, after all, in his opinion, it has been more than 30 years since the founding of New China, but why are the villagers in this small village in his hometown still living so poor? New China has been established, isn't it true that the toiling masses can turn over and live a good life?

This person is the village party secretary of the mountain village, and every household in the village, whether young or old, men and women, has to shout with respect when they see him: "The old branch secretary." ”

The same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and not all of them will be completely bound by one heaven and earth. Even though the villagers of the mountain village have become accustomed to this way of survival in the mountains, there are still people who have a little curiosity about the world outside and take action to do so. This person is the old branch secretary when he was young, or the old branch secretary is more appropriate when he is young.

The old branch secretary is actually an orphan in the village, and his parents died early, so the burden and involvement on his body when he was young was much less than that of other villagers.

That's it. One day, the young old branch secretary stood on the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance, and he suddenly wanted to know the road of Lu, the world outside the mountain. What would it look like?

Then, the next day, the young old branch secretary put away his already thin bag and carried it on his shoulder. walked out of the backing village in a hurry, after all, he was young and vigorous, even if he was ready to open the village and go to the outside world. Sure enough, the villagers were almost unanimously opposed to the decision of the old branch secretary, and the older generation persuaded the young old branch secretary to go out of the village even if the family conditions were not good, but he was willing to work hard, dig out more grain from the ground, save a little bit of his own money to exchange for some savings, and there was hope that he would be able to say that he would be able to talk about his daughter-in-law, and he would be able to live a peaceful and stable life in the future, so why go to the village to toss blindly?

In the eyes of the villagers, outside the village, outside the mountains, the world is actually similar to the Longtan Tiger's Den, the elders in the village always like to use a word when educating the juniors, that is, "duty", the ancestors have lived like this in this village for generations, and our next generation has to live like this, which is called keeping duty! And the young old branch secretary's behavior of walking out of the village at that time was a typical example of not doing his duty.

In this way, with the disapproval and accusations of the villagers, the young old branch secretary walked out of the village.

At that time, the land of China can be said to be turbulent, many forces competed, and the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression reached its seventh year, but the people of the land of China still could not see the dawn of victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, and the arrogance of the Japanese was still extremely arrogant on the battlefield in China.

Then, the experience of the old branch secretary is wonderful, he just left the village and walked out of the mountains not long after he was first inexplicably arrested by the Japanese to repair the turret, and then a local Eighth Route Army guerrilla team went to the turret, and actually rescued the young old branch secretary by the way, and in this way, the young old branch secretary became a guerrilla soldier of the Eighth Route Army;

A year later, the Japanese surrendered, another year later, the Liberation War began, the young old branch secretary first followed the troops to the Guanwai, and then followed the troops back to the Guannei, and then crossed the Yangtze River, and waited until the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains were red, the young old branch secretary took the initiative to apply for restoration back, his idea was very simple, the battle was over, the outside of the world has also seen, it is time to go back to their own small mountain village to farm and live, the people turned over and became the master, everyone's good days will come soon.

After the last day, the organizational relationship continued to change, and the old branch secretary returned to the village where he came out and became the village party secretary, and he did it for 30 years!

Thirty years, the old branch secretary is really old, the reckless young man who walked out of the backing village with high spirits in the past has now become a rickety old man.

The old branch secretary's love for the mountain village is true, and the love for every villager in the mountain village is also true, otherwise, if he had continued to stay in the army, he would definitely have a better future, but he still gave up his future and returned to this mountain village instead, because he felt that his roots were here, and the wanderer would always have to come back.

The old branch secretary watched the generation of people in the village grow old, watched the generation of people in the village grow up, and after returning to the village, he relied on the introduction of the organization, the old branch secretary married an aunt, but the mother-in-law went three years ago, and the old branch secretary and she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, but the old branch secretary can also see it, in his opinion, the children in the village are actually his own children, and he can hurt the same.

The old branch secretary enthusiastically helped every family in the village, and there was no family in the mountain village who did not say that the old branch secretary was good, and the old branch secretary used his 30 years of warm protection in exchange for the respect of everyone in the village. And the integrity and selflessness of the old branch secretary are indeed very convincing.

However, after so many years, the old branch secretary has never understood what the village was like when he left, and why is the village still like this now? Everyone is still living in poverty, and the dolls can't even go to school.

Still poor!

Since the death of his wife, the old branch secretary has completely lost the fetters of the family, took out all his few savings, and begged the leaders of the town and the leaders of the county with a thick face, the face of the old branch secretary is still very useful, because many of the comrades-in-arms of the old branch secretary are now in high positions, and they still have correspondence from time to time, which is also clear to the leaders of the town and the county, after all, comradeship is one of the most inseparable feelings in the world. The old branch secretary is not really an ordinary village sesame official.

Therefore, the leaders of the town and county managed to sow a batch of medicinal seeds to the old branch secretary, which could be planted on the hillside without occupying arable land, and could be sold for money after the harvest, which increased a lot of income for the villagers and allowed them to establish a school in the village.

In this way, the old branch secretary paid the deposit with his life savings, brought back the medicinal herb seeds back to the village, and now, another year has passed, on the slope of the mountain, the medicinal herbs are growing gratifyingly, and after a while, they can be harvested and taken outside for money.

No, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the old branch secretary plans to go to the slope where medicinal herbs are planted today, and a large number of villagers have gathered around him, everyone has to accompany the old branch secretary to take a look, after all, it seems that as long as these medicinal materials are collected and then sold again, the money will come, and these ordinary villagers are not happy and happy, and the old branch secretary said that part of the money from the harvest of medicinal materials this time was used to hire teachers to teach the dolls, and the rest was divided according to the labor, and he didn't want a penny himself. The villagers praised the old branch secretary for his benevolence and righteousness.

In this way, the old branch secretary took a group of villagers behind him to prepare to go to the back hillside, and happened to meet Gu Yuekai, who had just come back from leading the dog outside, Gu Yuekai was carrying a bound roe deer on his shoulder, with a sincere smile on his face.

"Yo, Kaiwazi, have you gained something again today?" The old branch secretary smiled and patted Gu Yuekai's shoulder.

Gu Yuekai also smiled honestly, pointed to a wolf dog at his feet and said, "Old branch secretary, isn't it all the credit of my wolf dog?" This roe deer was lucky, and it happened to meet this wolf dog of mine, so it was only the share of being caught. ”

The villagers know that the dog next to Gu Yuekai is actually not like a dog, but a bit like a wolf, but very docile, since he was a child, he was adopted by Gu Yuekai as a dog and raised.

"Old branch secretary, come to my house tonight to drink two sips, with roe deer meat and wine, fresh." Gu Yuekai remembered that the old branch secretary was very good to him since he was a child, so he also treated the old branch secretary as his own parents, and if there was anything good, he would not forget to honor the old branch secretary.

"Okay, I'll take the villagers to the back mountain to see the medicinal herbs first, and I'll go to you at night, hehe." The old branch secretary smiled heartily.

"Okay." (To be continued......)

PS: The original world is more laborious to write, this is the first chapter of the opening book, and then Xiaolong believes that he can write a little different horror feeling for everyone.

Well, let me also explain, this is not Gu Yuekai's dream, Xi Cheng and others will also appear later, you can guess what kind of identity other people are in the village.
