Chapter 84: Extremely Poor Huanglu Township
Sunday.
Early in the morning, Zeng Zhiguang drove a seven-seater SUV to pick me up.
After receiving Han Xiaoyue's notice yesterday, he called me and asked me, and I said that there were six people in Linxian County, the provincial capital, and the rural road in the master's hometown was difficult, so it was most suitable to drive an off-road vehicle.
I packed the prepared items into two backs and put them in the trunk, Zeng Zhiguang saw that I got two large backpacks, and said that this is not a trip for several days, why do you bring so many things.
I said be prepared, Zeng Zhiguang smiled and didn't say anything.
The off-road vehicle drove all the way to the school gate and picked up Liu Wenya, who was standing on the side of the road waiting, but she still didn't go home to live.
According to my reminder, she was really wearing sportswear today, tied her hair up, and looked particularly youthful and beautiful.
We then went to King Zheng's shop, where Gouzi and Zhou Wu had been waiting for a long time.
Driven by Zeng Zhiguang, a group of six of us, set off towards Linxian, the provincial capital.
There were a lot of people, and several people chatted and laughed all the way, and I found that Liu Wenya was a little familiar, and she chatted very happily with King Zheng and a few other men.
The dog rarely spoke, and smiled stupidly, and he sat in the last row next to me, telling me that he hadn't spent a long, long time with so many people, and that he had basically been alone for a few years.
Loneliness is the most uncomfortable loneliness!
I patted the back of the dog's hand and smiled at him and said that with our brothers and sisters with him in the future, he would not be lonely again.
The dog smiled at me gratefully, he was very close to me, because the current dog is me for more than ten years!
After an hour's drive, the off-road vehicle entered the provincial capital, but at this time it was raining lightly.
In the car, the atmosphere is still warm, there are two teasing comparisons between Zhou Wu and Zheng Wang, and there is never a lack of laughter, the two of them sandwiched Liu Wenya in the middle, Zhou Wu looked at Liu Wenya several times, and asked her if she had a boyfriend?
Liu Wenya shook her head and said no, Zhou Wu pointed to the bridge of his nose and asked, "Do you think I can do it?" Both are handsome, suitable to be your boyfriend, right? ”
Before Liu Wenya could answer, King Zheng cut off, looked at Zhou Wu with disdain, and said, "Gao, it is indeed high; But handsome, I didn't see it; Rich, it is completely insulated from you! ”
Zhou Wu clenched his fists, with an expression of wanting to fight.
Liu Wenya sneered, turned around and told me that your two brothers are very funny.
I said yes, the two of them were teases sent by the monkeys.
The whole car laughed.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the off-road vehicle drove into Linxian County, and Zeng Zhiguang drove the navigation into Huanglu Township, the township where the master's hometown is located.
Before I came, I had a detailed understanding of Huanglu Township, which is the poorest township in our province, located in a large mountainous area, separated by a large river that divides Huanglu Township in half.
The side where the master's hometown is located is just behind the two rivers, and because the local population is sparse, there are basically no people from other places who enter it, so no bridges have been built, and if you want to cross the river, you have to take the boats of the local residents.
Arriving at the opposite shore by boat, we walked two kilometers forward to the foot of the mountain, where the master's old house was in the depths surrounded by mountains.
I can't use the Internet or hacking techniques to find out which mountain the old house is on, because there is no Internet connection in the mountains.
According to official information from Huanglu Township, there are no more than 50 mountain people living in the mountains, but some rangers also live in the mountains.
When I told everyone about these situations, Liu Wenya was the most excited, saying that she had grown so big and had been to many famous tourist attractions, but she had never seen what the situation was like in the mountains.
Zhou Wu said that he had seen it, and the depths of the black coal kiln in L County were also mountains, and when it came to the black coal kiln, Zhou Wu was not ashamed but proud, and he held his head high to solve the doubts of the dog, saying that the people who could stay in the black coal kiln and come out safely were not small characters.
"Haha, this is blowing again."
King Zheng laughed and said: "Zhou Wu, you don't fucking brag, do you want to burp, you said as if the people who have been in the black coal kiln are big shots." ”
Zhou Wu said Isn't it not, and straightened his chest even higher.
The two of them made a fuss along the way, and the off-road vehicle drove forward for nearly half an hour, and the three-meter-wide concrete road was no longer there, replaced by a somewhat muddy and uneven mountain road in the rain.
The further we went, the more difficult the mountain road became, and several times the wheels got stuck in large pits, and we had to push a few of us forward.
Fortunately, the rain is not heavy, otherwise we will be drenched in soup, I have a lot of items ready, but I didn't prepare rain gear when I saw that it was not raining in Xihe City.
"Damn, what the hell is this!"
In the later period, even Zeng Zhiguang, who was driving, began to complain, the road section was getting narrower and narrower, and there were more and more potholes.
Zeng Zhiguang looked at the navigator and said depressedly that we had driven for nearly an hour on this mountain road, which was originally less than seven kilometers.
It can be seen how difficult it is to walk on the rugged mountain road.
Approaching 12 o'clock at noon, we finally arrived at Huanglu Township through the mountain road.
Entering the township, several of us were completely stunned!
It was the first time I had seen such a dilapidated township, on the narrow main street, where our cars were just passing, and we sat in the car, looking ahead, all we could see was a few pedestrians.
The streets are potholed, low adobe houses on either side, some with cobwebs on their windows, dark wooden doors locked from the outside, and mottled eaves peeled off their paint.
In the township, the bustle and bustle are completely isolated from the rest of the world, and there are basically no stores on the main street, only three small supermarkets and two pharmacies.
Except for the owner of the shop, who looked depressed because of the cold business, we passed a long street, and the total number of pedestrians we saw was not more than 100.
Occasionally, a hungry and scrawny dog or two would pass through the street.
Poverty, decay, people go to empty houses, lifeless!
This is the real status quo of Huanglu Township!
Seeing Liu Wenya's sigh, she saw a child looking at us with a runny nose, and saw that the child was dressed in tatters, dirty, and his hair was curled together because of dirty.
Liu Wenya said distressedly, oh my God, why is there such a poor place in the world.
Even my dog and I, who had picked up garbage, were shocked by the poverty of Huanglu Township, and almost every localist we saw here was even more sloppy than when we picked up the garbage.
If you haven't been here, you can't imagine such a picture of poverty, even if you think about it.
Zeng Zhiguang drove the car and said with a sigh: "No wonder, no one wants to come to Huanglu Township, and the people in the township can go out, I'm afraid they have already left." ”
I said yes, and at this point, we arrived at the end of the road in the SUV.
There is a wide dam with no buildings around it, and our vehicle is the only one parked at the dam.
In the distance from the front of the dam, you can see a wide and fast river, and behind the river is a group of mountains that are misty in the rain.
On the left side of the dam is a small path, prompted by a dilapidated sign, to enter the large mountainous area and walk from here.
We couldn't drive, so we got out of the car, and King Zheng and King Zheng each carried a backpack with belongings.
Before leaving, Zeng Zhiguang found the nearest family, gave an old man 100 yuan, and asked the old man to help us watch the car to prevent the naughty child from scratching the car paint.
But when leaving, Zeng Zhiguang gave the old man another 200 yuan, and in the old man's grateful, our group walked towards the path.
Walking on the road, the lively atmosphere we had in the car was gone, and everyone was thinking about the extreme poverty in Huanglu Township.
