Chapter 387

shata.

Under the leadership of the guide of the scenic spot, Ye Zhou and his party are walking along the Xiata Ancient Road to the depths of the Xiata River Valley.

Today is a good weather, although the temperature is still very low, but the weather is fine, according to the weather forecast, at least one or two days will not choose a snowy day, so Ye Zhou decided to finish on this day, and Chen Hao had given him a long time ago. A long hike on the agenda.

He also wanted to stay in the camp, drink tea and look at the documents, and open a new simulation by the way, but Chen Hao seemed to have predicted his thoughts long ago, and sent the itinerary plan to to his desk.

At the end of that plan was a line written by someone himself.

"The scenery of the Xiata River Valley is excellent. You can walk more and see more, and exercise properly."

Ever since, Ye Zhou had no choice but to obey orders.

However, after actually walking on the ancient Shata Road, he also discovered that this is indeed a very worthwhile thing.

Although the grass has withered and yellowed, it is warmly yellow; the dark green pine forest hides the snow that has not yet melted, coupled with the clear sky and dark blue distant mountains, it is indeed of great benefit to people's spiritual recovery.

At the very least, walking in such a beautiful scenery, the pressure in his heart is almost reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ye Zhou thought to himself, if there is really a san value index in this world, then his current san value should be in a state of soaring --- if he recruits a few more pigs to cut trees with him, Maybe it can go up even faster.

"After we cross the Tekes River later, we will officially enter the non-tourist area. The road behind is usually only used by professional hiking enthusiasts. There will be many encounters in summer, but now this season, It's probably just us."

While the guide was leading the way, he introduced the surrounding scenery to the group. Hearing his words, Ye Zhou asked curiously:
"Will it be dangerous?"

The guide shook his head and replied:

"It used to be a bit dangerous. The main danger was getting lost and losing contact. But in the past two years, this problem has disappeared. The 4G signal is covered. As long as your mobile phone has power, you can walk back with the navigation on."

"There is still 4G in this place? Can you still turn on the navigation?"

"Where can't I turn on the navigation? Leader, if you turn on your phone now, you can see the ancient Xiata Road on the map. According to the markings on the map, it is actually at the same level as the village road."

Ye Zhou smiled and didn't do anything, but Ye Lan turned on his mobile phone to verify, and the result was just as the guide said, the trail running through the entire valley was marked as a village road, and some camping rests were even marked near the road point.

"It's amazing. But building a base station in such a no-man's land is a bit of a waste, right? How many tourists are there in a year?"

Hearing her words, the guide replied with a smile:
"This is not a no-man's land. Leader, don't think we can't see people now, but in fact there are still some small-scale settlements on the mountain --- they are not villages, but some residents who have not moved out. .”

"They generally make a living by grazing, planting, and providing tourists with some simple accommodation and meals. They can also earn a lot of money during peak seasons, so they don't move and no one forces them—it's just as good as they can live on their own! "

Ye Zhou nodded slightly, and continued to ask:
"How many such residents are there?"

"A dozen or twenty households. I don't know how to count them. I don't have much contact with them. There are only three or four households. There are only old people left at home. When I pass by, I will stop by and ask. If they lack daily necessities and the like, I will bring them there the second time."

"They're all old people. They're the same age as my parents. If they can help, it's a big deal. Leader, are you right?"

Looking at the guide's sincere eyes, Ye Zhou replied:
"Yes. There are not many people who are willing to help these days. What did you do before? What about the children of these old people?"

"I'm a postman! I'm also a postman now, no matter it's a temporary job, I work when I have work, and rest when I don't have work. When I'm free, I work as a tour guide to earn some extra money--this can be said Bar?"

"There's nothing you can't say, it's human nature."

Hearing Ye Zhou's answer, the guide breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to answer:

"You said those old people's sons and daughters-in fact, there are only two families. In three families, the sons work outside and only come back once or twice a year; in one family, both daughters are married, and I heard that they have just settled down there. Well, we'll be moving there in a few months."

"Anyway, they are considered empty nesters."

"That's not too difficult. I thought it was the kind without children."

The guide sighed slightly and replied:

"Leader, there are situations like what you said, but to be honest, such an old man can't last long."

"It's not that I can't survive. Now that this place has been developed into a scenic spot, it's not difficult to ask for a living, but when the children are gone, the old man's spirit will be lost, and life is meaningless."

"I have been working as a postman here for seven or eight years. When I first entered the industry, I often

Speaking of this, the guide stopped suddenly, and Ye Zhou immediately understood what he meant.

In his eyes, he probably shouldn't say such so-called "negative" things in front of a leader like himself.

"It's okay, just say it directly. Don't worry, we are all technical people. The more you talk, the more we can do."

After hesitating for a moment, the guide finally spoke.

"Hey, it's really nothing. This kind of thing happens everywhere. It's just that when I saw it, I felt panicked."

"At that time, when I went up the mountain to deliver letters, I often saw that there was no smoke from the fire in some houses. As long as this happened, I immediately called the nearby police station to deal with it."

"Don't say I wasted police power or something, I really dare not go to see it myself--I was scared. The first time I was still a stunned young man, I saw that there was no smoke in the house of a herdsman who had eaten, so I pushed it away. Just go to the door to see, the result."

"As a result, the old lady died on the dining table for several days."

"Go up and push it with your hand, and your face is glued to the table."

"I'm really sorry for that scene, let's not talk about it."

"Anyway, after the development of tourism, these orphans and widowed old people moved and resettled. This kind of thing is much less. When the electricity is connected and the mobile phone signal is connected, I have never seen it again."

Ye Zhou hummed, and suddenly asked:

"Is it because you haven't seen it, or is it really gone? Are you telling the truth?"

"It's really gone. At most, life is a bit more difficult, but that kind of extreme thing has really never happened-there is usually a mobile phone at home, and if you have any problems, you can call the emergency contact."

"It's difficult, how difficult is it?"

"The main reason is that there is no food - it's not that there is nothing to eat, it must be enough. It's that the old man has poor hands-on ability. Sometimes he cooks a pot of rice casually and eats it for several days. I used to bring them some canned food occasionally. sort of, and it turns out, hey, they won't drive."

"Later, I learned how to be good. If I want to buy something like ham sausage, I can cut it with a knife and peel off the package. It's much easier than cutting and cooking by themselves."

Hearing his words, Ye Zhou almost blurted out to say "ham sausage is not nutritious", but in an instant, he swallowed it back.

Talk to them about nutrition?It's really ridiculous.

At least there is some fat and protein in the ham sausage. At least this is near a relatively well-developed scenic spot. What about other places?

In more remote places, where resources are scarcer, are there still people who can't even eat?
Unbalanced development is an objective fact, but to completely change this situation requires excessive, almost completely unreturned, and extremely inefficient resource input.

Population migration is a relatively good solution, but in the face of such a complex cultural environment, it is an almost impossible strategy.

Therefore, in the final analysis, it still depends on productivity development and technological progress.

A long way to go.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou said:
"Take me to the homes of the elderly you mentioned. Anyway, it's on foot. It's the same wherever you go."

The guide glanced at Wu Ping beside Ye Zhou, and after seeing the latter nodding, he agreed.

So, half an hour later, a group of people came to the door of the first simple brick house that the guide said the left-behind elderly lived in, but what they saw made everyone a little dazed.

The gray-haired old man was sitting at the door wiping tears.

The guide hurried forward to ask in local dialect. After a while, he turned back to Ye Zhou and said:

"She said her son didn't want her anymore, and she couldn't get through the phone."
