Chapter 12 Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people
(Sorry, late.) I www.biquge.info thanks to the rewards of "Game Games" and "Book Friends 160831214524746". )
Lin Xu has grown so big, and he has been to the farthest place so farth, that is, in elementary school, his parents took him and his sister to Hongdong Big Locust Tree Park to play. Because Hongdong County is on the other side of the city, across the city from their Fen County, it was farther than going to the city.
The scope of Lin Xu's usual activities can be said to be very small, except for going to school, that is, going home. In the past, in addition to doing homework on weekends, I stayed at home and watched TV, and rarely went out to play. To play is to go to Guan Wentao to play, and sometimes he goes to the fields outside the village by himself. Climb trees and catch birds, or go to the ditch to play in the water.
Since I started practicing martial arts, I have spent most of my spare time practicing martial arts, and I have rarely gone out on weekends recently. When I was dating Guan Luoxue, I took a spin and played, but the scope was basically limited to Guancun. On one occasion, he rode far away and ran to the boundary of the nearby Beima Village.
Anyway, the outside places he has been to are very limited, and he has not even visited a few villages in the township, only to the neighboring Wu Village, Xiaochai Village, Beima Village, Zhuangtou Village, and the villages where the relatives' homes are located when he visited his relatives during the Chinese New Year. The nearby towns and villages had only been to Gu'an Town, which was closest to their Guan Village, with their parents during the market. As for the neighboring counties, I went to Hongdong when I was in elementary school, but I never entered the county seat. In addition, that is, I have been to the city, and it was also when I was in elementary school, and my parents once took their brother and sister to the city zoo to play.
This time I went to Hukou Waterfall, which is the farthest so farthest, even farther than that time to Hongdong Big Locust Tree Park. And this time, I have to pass through two other counties, Xiaoning County and Ji County. So he was very excited and looking forward to this trip.
Heading west, he drove past the intersection of Gu'an Town, where he had never been before. While driving, I couldn't help but start looking at the villages and scenery on both sides of the road. But after looking at it for a while, I also found that the scenery on both sides of the road in their township was similar. But there are still some novelties, but I am also quite interested in watching it.
Li Feiyan turned on the radio in the car and listened to a radio station playing music. When you hear a song you like, you will hum along with it. Parents and sisters in the back row also talk and smile from time to time and point out the scenery outside the window.
After driving for more than an hour, they finally got out of the confines of Fen County and entered the boundary of Xiaoning County. The most obvious change is that the terrain has become higher and has begun to enter the mountainous range, and the road is relatively steep and spiraling, and there are more curves and ramps.
Xiaoning County and Ji County are both in mountainous areas, and there are many mountainous areas. Large mountains and small hills, of varying heights, one mountain after another, and relatively few flat areas. Because it is located in the west of their Fen County, the people on their side mostly call these two places Xishan. The two places are basically connected, and they speak in similar dialects, which is often confused by their people. The dialects of these two places are also very different from theirs, and they speak very quickly, and it is usually difficult for those who are not used to hearing them to understand for a while.
These two places are mountainous, but there are also many mines, and coal resources are very rich. The so-called backing on the mountains to eat the mountains, because of the mining in these two places, there are also many people who have made a fortune, and there are many coal bosses. Although it is a mountainous area, on the whole, it is more rich than them in the plains of Fen County.
In Lin Xu's Wuxiang Middle School, there are many students from other places in Xiaoning County, all of whom are very rich, and they usually spend money lavishly. I heard that in order to go to Wuxiang Middle School, everyone's family paid a lot of money to the school. However, among these students, there are not many who really study well, and there are often fights and brawls, and the fights are very fierce.
The so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and the people in the mountains are originally more fierce and aggressive than the people in the plains.
Because of the abundant coal resources in Xiaoning County and Ji County, they are naturally not poor mountains, but can be called treasure mountains. But in ancient times, coal was not taken seriously, and it was not burned at that time, so those who did it did not make money. There are many mountainous areas, there is less land that can be cultivated and planted, and even fewer good fertile land.
But this is the case with human beings, the more difficult and harsh the environment, the more resilient and physically strong people can be bred. Throughout ancient and modern times, the places where strong soldiers have been sent out in history are often places with difficult living conditions.
In Xiaoning County and Ji County, it is only in recent years that many people have become rich because of mining, and the conditions have been greatly improved. But because it used to be a place of poor mountains and bad waters, the human nature in the mountains that has been cultivated since ancient times is difficult to change, and many of them are still brave and ruthless.
Lin Xu had heard from his classmates in Xiaoning County before, saying that because of the mine dispute, there had been a large-scale armed fight, and the beating was serious, and there were even fatalities.
Anyway, according to the few Xiaoning County classmates he had come into contact with in school, most of them were indeed hot-tempered and often did things with others without saying a word. And these out-of-town students are also quite grouped, and they are all very rich, but basically no one is easy to provoke in school.
There are many mountainous areas, so the living environment is naturally relatively poor, and there are few places where villages can be gathered. After Lin Xu drove into the boundary of Xiaoning County, he could also clearly find that the density of villages here was much less than that of them, and there were often no people for several miles, only the continuous peaks and ravines on both sides. However, the mountains are high and the forests are also dense, it is close to summer, the peaks on both sides are verdant, the mountain flowers are in full bloom, and there are many good scenery that you have seen all the way.
After moving forward for a few more miles, after turning a corner, Lin Xu suddenly found that the traffic in front of him had slowed down. A little further, I saw that many cars in front of me stopped and did not move, and it seemed that something had happened in front of me to obstruct the traffic and get stuck in traffic.
After driving forward for a while, Lin Xu was forced to stop. Then he rolled down the half-opened window completely and looked out. But because there were a lot of cars in front of me, and there were some big trucks pulling coal, I couldn't see what was happening in front of me for a while.
After frowning, he could only retract his body helplessly and wait patiently, and couldn't help but say to Li Feiyan and his parents behind him with some worry: "I don't know what happened in front? If it is blocked for a long time, we may not be able to go back today." ”
Li Feiyan said: "Maybe there was a car accident or something like that?" After a pause, he said, "It's okay if you can't go back, let's stay for one night and go back." ”
Lin Xu leaned his head on the seat and sighed, "I'm afraid that if we are directly blocked here until it gets dark, we won't be able to go." Then he looked in the inverted mirror and said, "The back is blocked one after another, and we can't go back if we want to turn around." ”
Li Feiyan smiled and comforted him: "Okay, let's wait! If it doesn't disperse in an hour, let's make other plans." ”
Lin Xu thought about it, nodded without answering, and waited patiently. If you really have to wait, he is also a very patient person who can sit still.
It was only later that after hearing the sound of someone talking in front of him, he couldn't sit still. From the conversation with several people who were also blocked in front of him, he learned that this place was blocked, and it turned out that there was not an accident like a car accident ahead. It's because someone in front of you has set up a private checkpoint to collect tolls, and someone in front of you is unwilling to pay, and the two sides quarrel and confront each other, so they are blocked there.
