Wu Xiaojun looked at the lesbian in front of him who was cracking melon seeds and humming a tune, and asked directly, "What is the name of this eldest sister?"

The female comrade raised her voice full of resentment and said without looking back, "My surname is Wang, my name is Wang Ying, and so are you students. If you don't go home on such a hot day, why go to our remote mountain den, you are asking for trouble."

【】”

Wu Xiaojun smiled bitterly and said, "This is an organizational arrangement. It has caused trouble to the elder sister. I hope that the elder sister will take care of me."

Wang Ying said, "You two with delicate skin and tender flesh, you have never been here before. You can't compare with us who have been basking in the sun for many years. I'm not trying to scare you. If you don't survive for three days, you won't be able to stand it anymore. You will definitely go back crying. You really shouldn't."

Come."

Wu Xiaojun's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "What on earth does this person mean? It seems that he is extremely unwelcoming and looks down on people. According to this, the road ahead is Death Valley. I don't believe that the suffering she calls can be so painful."

Where to go? I have never suffered anything since I was a child. If I want to go back, there is no way. I know that there are tigers in the mountains, but I prefer to go to the tiger mountains. I want to see how you treat the guests from afar and what kind of special courtesy you will receive. Here

How far does poverty and backwardness go?"

The car quickly drove out of the county town, turned north, and meandered along the rugged, narrow, and bumpy mountain roads. The bumps were quite severe, and the two people bounced off their seats from time to time. The stiff seats made their bones ache.

It was hard to say anything, so they just looked at each other helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Last winter, this spring, and even today, God seems to be deliberately punishing the creatures growing on the earth. The stingy drops of water are reluctant to fall, and the sun is allowed to shine unbridled on the vast earth, baking the hot and barren hills and mountains.

The mountain road was already badly damaged and uneven. After months of exposure to the scorching sun and constant traffic from passing vehicles and pedestrians day and night, it was overwhelmed and scarred. Wherever the vehicles passed, there was smoke, dust, and turbidity. The four people could not help but wonder.

If you dare to open the car window, the interior of the car is like a steamer, almost like taking a sauna inside. Sweat flows all the way, and your whole body is like a ball of fire.

Through the car window, you can still see traces of most of the cave dwellings that have been abandoned in the mountains of various sizes. On the hillsides on both sides, except for the wheat stubble left by the fellow villagers, which looks white in patches,

There was no green leaf to be seen, and there was almost no scenery to enjoy.

Wu Xiaojun had lived in the plains for a long time, yearning for the mountains. As he bumped along the bumpy and difficult roads in other places, he silently experienced the hardships of life in the mountains and his helplessness in the face of God's malicious punishment. It was inevitable that he would feel a sense of loss and melancholy.

Along the way, several people in the car were in a state of sultry agitation and high tension, each with their own thoughts and no interaction, words or communication. The atmosphere was extremely dull, almost suffocating. Unknowingly, the car reached a building.

At the top of the mountain, we immediately followed the narrow path halfway up the mountain and made two turns before starting to drive down.

Wu Xiaojun's heart tightened. He looked through the car window and saw a mountain road where only two cars could pass side by side. It was like a white line winding on the mountainside, dividing the mountains into large and small ones.

There are two sections, the upper and lower sections. On the right side is a steep valley seven or eight meters deep. Some very vigorous rattan trees grow out of the gaps between the teeth. Their lush branches and leaves are quite energetic, adding some green color to the barren mountains and ridges. Once

If he fell, he would definitely be shattered to pieces. Wu Xiaojun suddenly felt dizzy and frightened. He was so scared that he didn't dare to look or think.

The car was going down, and suddenly a large truck going up the mountain appeared in front of it, blocking the way. The two cars were about to collide in an instant. Wu Xiaojun was shocked, closed his eyes, and thought it was all over. Bai Lingyan screamed and raised her hands

He covered his head, and his upper body lay tightly on Wu Xiaojun's legs. The driver, Xiao Li, was experienced, quick-eyed, and calm. He turned the steering wheel violently, and the car immediately deviated from its original direction and passed the truck. The car was slightly injured.

It was nothing serious. Everyone finally escaped a bad luck, which scared Wu Xiaojun so much that he broke into a cold sweat. The beads of sweat crackled like exploding beans and kept falling down. He lamented that the road ahead was slow, long, and bumpy.

Ups and downs.

After a thrilling period, the suspense in Wu Xiaojun's throat slowly calmed down. Bai Lingyan was like a frightened bird, trembling all over with fright. She never dared to stand up and raise her head. Wu Xiaojun sat neither on the right nor on the right side, gently.

He pushed and said, "Stop lying down and get up. My legs are numb from your pressure. Fortunately, I escaped from the disaster. I have come down the mountain safely and am walking on a relatively gentle road."

.”

Bai Lingyan slowly raised her body, her face was white, and her forehead and temples were soaked with sweat. She said shyly, "I was scared to death. My heart was pounding. I was stunned by the sound of my head just now, and my mind was blank."

, don’t know anything.”

Wu Xiaojun smiled and said, "It's just a small episode, maybe nature is playing tricks on people, making a little joke. The frightening moment has passed and we are walking on the road. You see, it is much better here than in the mountains. There are patches of green in the canyon.

Crops, the corn will soon sprout in that field, and the soybeans and sweet potatoes will grow vigorously, making it look like a pastoral scene in midsummer."

Bai Lingyan looked out the window and said excitedly, "The natural conditions in the mountains are not good, and agricultural production depends entirely on the weather. If the weather is good and the rain is sufficient, the crops in the mountains are often better than those in the mountains, because the terrain is low and prone to flooding.

.When there is not much rain, it is naturally much better down the mountain than on the mountain. The foot of the mountain is convenient for the accumulation of a small amount of rain. Besides, many places have built water conservancy facilities. A little watering can still sustain a small drought and will not affect the growth of crops.

It has caused too much impact. It is rare to have a long drought without rain like this year, and it is really rare to have this green space."

Wu Xiaojun smiled and said, "Listening to what you said, you know a lot about rural areas and agriculture. You know a lot."

Bai Lingyan said, "What's the point? I'm also a real rural person. Our family is from Beimeng County on the south bank of Qinghe River. The topography here is not much different from ours. I guess you are not a local, let alone a mountain person.

, don’t know much about the situation in the mountains.”

Wu Xiaojun said, "Yes, this is my first time to have close contact with mountains. I grew up on the vast plains of Pingdong. I am not used to traveling and seeing. It seems necessary to seek out the joys and sorrows of life in the mountains.

Customs and customs.”

While he was talking, the car drove into the town government courtyard unknowingly.

The town government is located halfway up the mountain, backed by a rocky mountain about 200 meters high. In front of it is a large river filled with large and small pebbles of various colors that have dried up. The small courtyard is not big, and there is a courtyard in the middle with an area of ​​about thirty

The water in the square meter rockery fountain has been dyed black by the soot flying in the air. The three-story office building has been built for some years and looks old and plain.

Wang Ying looked tired and cursed, "In this damn weather, I almost fumigated my mother to death on this trip to the county town. Finally, I arrived at the station. I have to take leave and go home for two days. Two classmates, get off the car."

Bar."

The two of them picked up their luggage and hurriedly got out of the car, and followed Wang Ying directly to an office with the sign of the Basic Education Group on the second floor of the town government office building. The office conditions in the room were quite simple, with two tables, two wooden chairs, and a

There was a long wooden board with chairs and a floor fan, and there was no drinking water facility. There was no one in the room, and Wang Ying didn't talk to the two of them. He plopped down on the chair and started to puff and blow in front of the floor fan.

.

Wu Xiaojun and Wu Xiaojun rode in a classic car for more than two hours, and their whole bodies seemed to fall apart due to the bumps along the way. They put down their luggage and went to the bathroom to wash their faces. After returning to the house, they casually sat down behind the table, blew in the lingering wind, and calmed down.

, and soon felt much more comfortable.

About twenty minutes later, a short man with a dark face came from outside. He was wearing a plaid short-sleeve top, a pair of large trousers, and a pair of slippers. He was a middle-aged man in his forties.

The man made people feel uncomfortable and quite awkward. As soon as he entered the door, he looked at the two of them with raised eyebrows and asked with a serious and unhappy expression, "Xiao Wang, what do they do?"

Wang Ying saw him coming in, rolled her eyes, and said with a look of grievance and complaint, "Secretary Zhang, this hard work almost tortured me to death. Who can bear the scorching heat on a hot day? Let's make an agreement first.

I'm going to take two days off to rest and recuperate."

Secretary Zhang snorted angrily, "Xiao Wang, you can take a break if you want. What are you talking to me about? Why did you go to the county today?"

What Wu Xiaojun and the others are looking for is the secretary of the town Youth League Committee. What kind of person is this secretary Zhang? Seeing someone so cold and ruthless, speaking in a harsh and harsh tone, without any human touch, is this what people call a door that is difficult to enter, with a face that is difficult to enter?

Isn't it an ugly bureaucracy style? The two of them didn't know who he was or what he did, so they just sat quietly and listened to them talking without saying anything.

Wang Ying said angrily, "I can't explain clearly the tasks assigned by the Youth League and County Committee, what nonsense are the students of Pingxi Medical College doing, and the investigation on the situation of students rescued by Project Hope?" He stood up suddenly with a fierce look.
