Chapter 3: The Lost Soul Slope
When the team climbed to the highest peak, through the car window, it was impossible to see the shape of the trees below the mountain and the surrounding environment, and these places were surrounded by white mist rising in the sky one after another. Although it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was gone, and the people in the car had only one feeling: heavy smog and full of gloomy.
The driver first parked the car on a slightly open road, and the other driver got out of the car with a large wrench to check the tire pressure. He slowly circled around the car, knocking the wrench here and there, and the sound of hitting the tires was heard far away, and the sound of "knock knock" echoed in the valley. Another driver sitting in the cab is adjusting the effect of braking. Many people took the opportunity to get out of the car to move their bodies and deserted. As a woman, Yang Jiewen was inconvenient to be too public, so she had to sit in the car and wait for the car to start.
After checking the tires and adjusting the brakes, everything was in good condition, and the car started to go downhill again.
Zhou Tangrong saw that Yang Jiewen was a little in good spirits, so he said to her: "Mr. Yang, this trip has made you suffer, and you will definitely lose a lot of weight when you go back, but don't let Lao Wang not recognize it." ”
After speaking, he laughed, and Yang Jiewen also smiled awkwardly and said, "That's the best, I can buy less diet pills to eat, I can get it." ”
Zhou Tangrong said apologetically: "Mr. Yang, I have a lot of responsibility for your trip this time, and I should have discouraged you from making the trip." I didn't expect you to be so resolute in your stance, and they all ran away from it, and your persistence made me feel more confident. Mr. Yang, the environment in this place is much worse than you think! ”
Yang Jiewen admitted that she had been bewitched by Zhou Tangrong from the beginning, and there was a trace of remorse in her heart. But now that the mentality has been adjusted, Zhou Tangrong and their families have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of their lives, and they can enjoy their old age in peace. But why do they have to organize such an organization, is it because they are "idle" and playing? Or thrill-seeking and having some fun? No, to understand them in this way is to be cognitively inadequate and narrow-minded, they are people with firm goals and lofty ideals, and their driving force is the poor children from the poor areas.
The car was clearly accelerating little by little, the driver masterfully grasping the steering wheel, and the branches of trees whizzing past on both sides of the car. Pine needles and branches slap on the window glass as if someone had struck something with a leather whip.
The speed of the car is getting faster and faster, and the frequency of the driver stepping on the brakes is also increasing, and everyone does not know how many kilometers the car has gone downhill, and through the window, the outside is still smoky, and the person seems to be floating in the air.
The car is estimated to have walked on a smooth mud road, the people on the car have obviously felt that the wheels are slipping, fortunately, the driver is experienced, at this time, he is only responsible for grasping the steering wheel, not to touch the brake plate, a local staff member stood next to the driver, one hand pinched the iron pillar next to him, maybe he was telling the driver what the distance of the mud road is.
Suddenly, the whole body shook violently, and the right rear wheel made a "click, click" sound. Not good, Wu Liangjin of the traffic bureau said, the tire has a problem, it seems that the situation is very dangerous, if the tire problem is on the driver's side, the driver can also gamble, slowly step on the brake plate to brake, and when the speed drops to a low level, the backing is to be. But the problem is that the sound is obviously coming from the right side, on the side of the cliff, as long as the driver takes the slightest inappropriate measures, the car will be destroyed and killed, causing a catastrophe.
Zhou Tangrong also began to get anxious, and hurriedly asked what the situation was? Wu Liangjin comforted him and said: "Don't panic, according to my experience, it should be a stone embedded in the tire, this situation is more serious than gas leakage, if you can't stop the car in a short time and remove the stone, the stone will burst the tire, and the consequences are unimaginable." ”
The driver is indeed a good hand. I saw that he kept starting to light the brakes, and comforted everyone and said, don't panic, this is just a small problem, we usually encounter it, but it will be solved soon.
The car is still sliding rapidly, the people in the car are holding their breath, Yang Jiewen doesn't even dare to breathe, how can such a journey not torture people's minds. Yang Jiewen thought, just ask God to let us go, even if it is not for ourselves, it should be for those children in this mountainous area!
The car is about to make a big turn. At this time, the driver began to make a desperate bet, only to see him raise his hands and feet at the same time, one foot slammed on the brake, and the other hand pulled the handbrake lever, and the car stopped after a violent tremor.
The driver hurriedly ordered his colleague to go down to inspect it, but he sat motionless in the cab and did not dare to move, and one of his feet was firmly on the brake plate. The driver opened the door behind the car and persuaded everyone with a smile: "You guys go down and exercise your muscles first, and the small problems of the car will be solved immediately." Let loneliness and boredom be thrown out of the clouds. ”
The car hovered almost half a meter away from the cliff, and the driver and the entire front of the car were suspended in mid-air. Fortunately, the big turn is a steep slope, and the driver is taking advantage of this limited space distance to gamble, and he really won the bet, otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.
The car walked on the road for three and a half hours before coming to a place called Jinma Village. The village here also means township. To everyone's surprise, the stockade was located in the northwest of a slightly flatter valley, and to the south was an open channel with a concrete-steel arched bridge. The bridge is old and dirty, and the stone railing has a few stone slabs broken at the waist, and it is missing.
There is a health center and the township government close together, and the streets are narrow, but they can still pass through the passing vehicles. Most of the people walking on the street are not tall, with regular blue coats and some costumes, the men wear black turbans, sometimes showing silver gold threads, and the women mostly have their hair coiled in the center of the top of their heads, tied in knots, and put on a plastic or wooden comb, and there are few hair that is disheveled.
Most of these women are wearing black cloth shoes or barefoot, and the clothes and skirts are unrecognizable for a while, but the skirts look very beautiful, with multiple layers of colors superimposed in turn, I don't know why there is black cloth wrapped around the legs?
The local education committee directly asked the driver to drive the car into the courtyard of the township office. The township government had already received a call from the higher-ups, so it didn't take much effort for us to be taken over.
It is said that there is only one guest house and less than twenty beds, which is starting to disappoint everyone. Although he didn't say it, the displeasure was written on his face.
This incident surprised Zhou Tangrong: after thousands of calculations, he didn't calculate that this would be the case here. Everyone is going to sum it up, try to arrange the personnel to live in the guest house, and the rest will go to the car to squeeze in for one night.
Zhou Tangrong knew that some of the entrepreneurs who were encouraged to come here had begun to express their dissatisfaction: they were here to do good deeds, but they did not say that they had to take such and such risks first, and then they had to toss their bodies and not be able to rest well.
The local township government was also embarrassed, so they suggested that everyone go to fill their stomachs first, and then they continued to think of other ways.
Yang Jiewen was very cold to the eating habits of the locals, and only swallowed a few bites of rice at noon, and did not dare to touch the dishes at all. Because the smell of choking peppers has made her all her organs rise up to "make a revolution".
Yang Jiewen said to Zhou Tangrong: Director Zhou, you ask them, I can't touch the chili pepper, the clear soup is fine, and the others really don't have the appetite to swallow.
Director Zhou Tangrong then counted the number of people in the team who did not eat chili peppers, accounting for 85%, which shows that everyone has been hungry today. Only the driver and Zhou Tangrong and a few other people can eat spicy food, so that when cooking for a car of us, there is no need to put chili peppers in the kitchen, and several local leaders prepare their own chili sauce during the meal.
But they still pointed at these dishes, and they were extremely disappointed. The main point is that I can't help but make the word "spicy" weird. The township government called the two cooks to reprimand them and asked them to apologize to them. Although the two did so, the eldest in their hearts was reluctant. According to Zhou Tangrong's description in his book "Journey to the West", the two people complained that the southerners were too squeamish and pretentious, and they kindly stayed to cook and delay time, and they were also criticized by the leaders in person, and they apologized in front of everyone, and their faces were lost.
Yang Jiewen realized that they had wronged these two chefs at that time, but it was true that this dish was still spicy to everyone's bones, and this Yang Jiewen herself had a deep understanding and would not talk nonsense to this day.
Solved the problem of eating, and encountered the problem of accommodation again. There is only one guest house here, and all the rooms in this guest house are only about twenty rooms combined, so at least half of the people will not be able to find a bed to stay in tonight.
But there is still a way, the people of the township government contacted a local who had run a "winery", and quickly sorted out three offices in the gap between Yang Jiewen and their meals, and the locals did not lack wood, and there was no shortage of wooden beds.
But the other party did not expect that none of these members would stay up until dawn in these three offices. At first, it was said that it was due to the harassment of rats, then cockroaches and geckos fighting on the walls, and even more exaggeratedly, someone touched the severed tail of the gecko on the bed sheet. Some people also reported that it was too close to a mountain, and the harassment of the night crying eagle was the main reason. One person fled, two responded, and then a room full of people ran to the car, and then the second room and the third room followed the chain reaction.
The next day, the group had to receive the most solemn welcome ceremony from the central school in the township in the morning. According to Zhou Tangrong himself, this time, led by the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Education Bureau of the two sides, their Chongai community organization signed a twinning ceremony with the central school to help the poor and the poor.
