Chapter 88

Zheng Yun finally decided to put the car here first, and everyone continued to move forward.

He thought that since there is a road, there must be people, and he has driven so far on this road, and it is estimated that it is coming to an end.

Everyone was so hungry and weak, they walked for more than two hours, and their eyes suddenly brightened.

However, surrounded by mountains, a mountain village is located in it, and there are many cooking smokes rising from everywhere.

Chen Meng and the others couldn't help cheering a few times.

However, another terrible fact is before everyone's eyes. At the end of the mountain road is a [-]-meter-high cliff, with a hanging ladder leading directly to the bottom.

The ladder is made of wood, connected by ropes, close to the stone wall, almost straight up and down.

Everyone couldn't help secretly fearing that if the mountain road was wide enough, they would have to continue driving. If they reached this place, they would not be able to distinguish the road ahead, and [-]% of them would fall off the cliff and die.

"This ladder is not strong!"

As Zheng Yun said, he touched the ladder, and saw that the wood must be quite old, and many places looked a little rotten, and he didn't know if the rope was still strong or not.

There are also some ropes and other tools in the caravan, but it takes four hours to go back and forth. I am too tired and hungry, and I don’t have the strength.

Chen Meng was the first to experiment and went down the hanging ladder.

"Sure enough, he is a special soldier, and he has courage." Zheng Yun praised in his heart, seeing Chen Meng safely descending to the ground, he followed suit.

A bodyguard wanted to go down with him, saying that he would protect him. Zheng Yun thought that there would be too much force on the ladder and it would be more dangerous, so he didn't agree.

He was somewhat afraid of heights, and didn't dare to look down. He moved down step by step, and finally got down to the ground, sweating all over his body from exhaustion.

In the end, everyone got to the ground safely, as if they had gone through a test of life and death.

In fact, for everyone, passing the 100-meter hanging ladder is not a difficult act, but everyone is too hungry and exhausted.

The seven continued on their way and entered the village.

As you can see along the way, the villages here are all adobe houses, and occasionally villagers can be seen wearing the style of the 70s and [-]s that can only be seen in TV dramas, and they are all very dilapidated.

Seeing strangers coming, especially the clothes of Zheng Yun and others, were very special in their eyes, and the villagers came out one after another to watch the fun.

I saw that the villagers, no matter adults or children, had black, red, black and red complexion, which was very rough. They seemed to see some rare and exotic beasts entering the village, and they all showed very curious eyes.

Zheng Yun came to a middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle, where are you?"

"Fengming Village, where are you from? Are you from Tianhua City?"

Zheng Yun heard that his uncle's accent was very strange, but he could understand it. He didn't expect that such a place would have such a nice name as Fengming Village.

Tianhua City is [-] kilometers away from Haifeng City, and Zheng Yun passed by there before. He secretly rejoiced that the people here were not isolated from the outside world, and he knew Tianhua City, so he immediately asked them if there was a village chief here.

The uncle said yes and immediately helped to invite the village chief.

The village head is an old man in his 70s, who is described as skinny. During the conversation, Zheng Yun said that he came here for tourism and got here when he got lost, and asked if there was any way to get out.

The village head said that there is only one road above the hanging ladder leading to the outside world, and there is no other road.

Zheng Yun was depressed for a while, and then said that he and the others were very hungry, hadn't eaten for a few days, and wanted to buy some food.

The village head was also very enthusiastic, and directly brought Zheng Yun and others to their home.

When I entered the house, I saw that it was really dilapidated. The dirt floor, the kang, and the walls were not even painted with white plaster, and the place was not connected to electricity, so everything seemed very primitive.

The village head's wife died early. There are two sons, two daughters-in-law, two grandsons and a granddaughter in the family.

The two daughters-in-law listened to their father's instructions and immediately set up a fire to heat up the meal.

Although everything here is very dilapidated, the people here are so simple, which makes Zheng Yun very comfortable.

Zheng Yun learned from the chat that the ancestors of the local residents came here during the Tang Dynasty because they were said to have taken refuge. At that time, they heard a beautiful bird song, so they named it Fengming Village.

There are three villages here, with more than 1000 households and nearly [-] people, which are under the jurisdiction of Tianhua City and Yunshui County.

Because there is a large population here, the higher-ups have long wanted to build a road leading to the outside of the mountain, but due to various difficulties such as funds, it has been delayed and failed to start, so that it is still very blocked.

Zheng Yun didn't expect so many people here, so he was surprised and asked them if they usually leave the village.

The village chief joked that everyone can basically go to the county several times in their life, and they are not savages who don’t understand anything.

Moreover, in order to take care of their poor life, the county subsidizes 30 yuan per person per month for living expenses.

Zheng Yun didn't expect such a poor place to exist, and his heart was greatly touched for a moment.

He thought that he would be able to live for everyone here with just a little money, and he couldn't help but feel that the extravagance in the past was like a crime.

He blamed himself, and he thought that if he planned everything carefully from now on and didn't spend a penny randomly, it would be better to just die.

When the food came, I saw that it was corn tortillas, potatoes and beans stewed, but there was no meat.

Although Zheng Yun was very hungry, how could he eat without meat?I barely ate a pancake and I didn't want to eat it.

The village chief smiled and said, "Isn't it delicious? You people from the city must not be used to our food!"

Zheng Yun smiled embarrassedly: "Master, do you have any pigs and sheep here? I'll buy one and eat it."

The village chief laughed loudly and said that the custom in their village is that when foreigners come, they must be well entertained with good food and drinks. However, he saw that everyone was hungry before, so he would give them a simple meal first and then kill the pigs in the evening. Where can I buy slaughtered sheep?

After he finished speaking, he immediately asked his two sons to go to the backyard to tie up his own pig and prepare to kill the pig.

His two sons were very obedient, without saying a word, they rushed to the backyard, and after a while, they heard the howling of pigs.

At this time, a girl's clear voice came from outside, "Is Uncle Huang at home?"

Zheng Yun was startled when he heard it, isn't that voice Su Lingyin?Didn't expect to see her here.

Sure enough, the village chief's daughter-in-law greeted the girl one after another, invited her into the house, and called her Teacher Su.

Su Lingyin was also very surprised when she saw Zheng Yun, "You, why are you here?"

Zheng Yun got off the kang and said with a smile: "I still want to ask you, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing this situation, the village chief smiled and said, "Do you know each other? This Teacher Su is a teacher who came to support our school. He came here last winter and has been here for almost half a year."

Zheng Yun thought to himself that Su Lingyin, a master student who graduated from the United Nations University, came to work as a teacher in such a poor mountainous area. He couldn't tell whether he was moved or admired, and he was speechless for a while.

After more than ten seconds, he said that he and his group had lost their way and had come here by mistake.

Su Lingyin was also very happy. During the chat, she mentioned Zheng Yun's poem about an ugly girl, and she seemed to admire it from the bottom of her heart.

Zheng Yun smiled a little ashamedly.

Su Lingyin chatted with Zheng Yun for a while, and then discussed with the village chief about the school, saying that there are more and more students and the classrooms are too small, so they discussed expanding the classrooms.

The village head said that he would organize the villagers to build it later, and then told Su Lingyin that she must come over for dinner to kill the pig at night.

Su Lingyin listened, her smile subsided slightly, she looked at Zheng Yun, and said a little seriously, it is very difficult for the villagers here to go out of the mountains, even if they have money, it is not easy to buy things, these pigs and sheep are only killed in the New Year, Advise him not to let the village chief spend money.

When Zheng Yun saw Su Lingyin in the past, his face was filled with spring-like warmth. Now, even though he was only slightly serious when he saw her, it made people dare not resist what she said.

He immediately said that he would not eat meat anymore, Su Lingyin smiled and said: "There is someone here, you must want to see him!"

Zheng Yun knew it must be someone he knew well, so he asked curiously: "Who is it?"

"Wait!" After Su Lingyin finished speaking, she walked out quickly.

After more than ten minutes, there was a sound of hurried running, and a girl rushed into the room, but it was Jin Shuyuan.

This was something Zheng Yun never expected, before he could speak, she had already been kicked on the buttocks.

Jin Shuyuan laughed loudly: "Did you miss my sister and come to me?"

"Little aunt, are you crazy? Come here!"

"What the hell, it can't work!"

"Have you graduated yet?"

"I won't go to college anymore, and I will teach students with Sister Su."

"My god! You can actually teach students!"

He paused, put his palms together, looked up to the sky and worshiped Buddha, and said painfully: "God, help me, I'm crazy!"

"You still dare to speak English!" Jin Shuyuan laughed and punched him again.

The two were fighting, and Su Lingyin also came in, advising the two not to mess around in other people's houses.

After being seated, Zheng Yun hurriedly asked Jin Shuyuan why she came here.

It turned out that Zheng Yun stopped going to school much, and Jin Shuyuan and Su Lingyin gradually came into contact more and more.

The first topic of the two was naturally about Zheng Yun, and they both thought Zheng Yun was very interesting.

Later, Jin Shuyuan gradually realized that Su Lingyin was a really good person, and she regarded her as a best friend from the bottom of her heart, and she was almost inseparable from her.

When Su Lingyin finished her internship, bid farewell to Jin Shuyuan, and told her aspirations, Jin Shuyuan immediately decided to follow her to teach in the mountains, so she didn't even go to college.

In fact, for her now, she doesn't have much interest in continuing to study. If Zheng Yun hadn't been playing hard and soft at the beginning, she would have left school long ago.

After Zheng Yun heard this, he praised her for not going to college. It was more interesting to come here than to study.

Jin Shuyuan felt weird when she heard this, but couldn't tell the reason, so she beat him again.
