Hello 1983

Everyone wanted to wash their hands and faces, but after searching around, they couldn't find a container for water.

After a whole morning in the sun, I was really thirsty. As soon as I told the old man, the old man went into the house, and after a while, he took out a wooden barrel.

It was indeed filled with water, but it was turbid and had a strange smell. Not to mention drinking it, even washing hands felt dirty.

Everyone couldn't help but remain silent, their impression of this world was somewhat deeper.

The old man probably also felt a little embarrassed, and after gesticulating for a while, Xiao Wu helped translate. It turned out that it was not their turn to dig a well in the village.

When the well is dug, you can drink sweet water.

While speaking, the old man was still licking his rough lips, full of longing for his affectionate feelings.

Everyone's heart seemed to be hit hard by something. The girls finally understood how extravagant it was for them to use water like that when they were stationed in Longteng.

No wonder the aborigines at that time looked at them strangely.

In this desolate land, water is the source of life. Without water, even the most basic survival cannot be guaranteed, let alone development.

Liu Qingshan proposed to eat here at noon, but the old man showed embarrassment: There are dozens of people, he really can't afford it.

It was Xiao Wu who talked with the old man, then took out a small box from the car and handed it to the old man.

The old man opened the carton, and inside were small round iron boxes, flat and not much bigger than a fingernail.

Everyone knows it too, isn't this cooling oil?

The old man accepted it carefully, and then happily went to the house to ask the woman to cook.

Can this thing be exchanged for food?

Everyone couldn't understand, so they all asked Xiao Wu.

Only then did I know that a coup had just occurred in this country, the political situation was unstable, and the currency system collapsed, so Xiao Wu didn't give money, but exchanged things.

Cooling oil like this is very popular in the local area, and a small box can be exchanged for a goat.

There are ten boxes of cooling oil in the carton, so it is no problem to change a meal.

While waiting for the meal, everyone walked around the small village. There was really nothing to see, it was so dilapidated that everyone's mood became a little depressed.

On the other hand, the four young people in the Beyond band were obviously more adaptable. They distributed the candies they brought to the little kids, and then danced with them.

Gradually, small stools also joined them, and they were obviously more popular than the four lads.

Everyone also gradually changed from spectators to participants, and had some communication with these little kids, and they made gestures without knowing the language.

"Don't you guys go to school?" Amao asked the teenage children around him.

A guide translated it, and the kids shook their heads in a daze, and one of them asked something.

"What did he say?" Amao was curious.

"He is asking, what is the school?" The guide also shook his head, and then added: "How can you go to school if you can't even eat?"

Everyone was speechless for a moment, and suddenly there was a sorrow in their hearts.

"It would be great if the dragon came. I heard that they have mutton for every meal." A little boy said, the corner of his mouth involuntarily drooled.

Now, the dragon has become the envy of the surrounding tribes.

Because the people of the dragon can draw water from the ground, grow food, and things that can glow at night, as well as many novelty items that they have never seen before.

Therefore, dragons have become the greatest expectation of these tribes, because they represent hope.

Everyone finally knew that the Longteng resident was so popular and the things they did were so meaningful. They were the real sowers in this land.

When it was time for lunch, the corn paste exuding a strange smell and the boiled mutton made these singers feel unpalatable.

Look at the host's family again, but they are eating extraordinarily sweet.

Around, there are many little children, looking at this side pitifully.

Obviously, the food that is hard to swallow in the eyes of everyone is a rare delicacy in the eyes of these children.

Squatting on a small stool on the ground, he stuffed a piece of lamb chop into the dirty little hand of a little boy.

Then she gulped down the corn porridge, feeling astringent, and her tears fell into the thick bowl in pairs without disappointment.

Chapter 776 Where is this going?

When we continued on the road in the afternoon, everyone became much quieter.

Of course Liu Qingshan knew the reason, but he just went with the flow, and he could even have used a truck to load food and water for everyone to consume on the road.

But he didn't do that. Some things can only be felt more deeply if they have experienced them personally.

For these singers, after suffering, no matter how much wealth they have in the future, they will not be flustered, let alone lost.

Instead, more money will be invested in more meaningful causes.

For the singers, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

When it was dark, everyone was camping in the wild, and the tents were prepared.

As for meals, they had to distribute the canned food they brought, and each person gave out two dry corn tortillas.

The night was not peaceful, and there were even terrifying roars heard.

Ask Xiao Wu, and he knows it's a lion's roar.

When the group arrived at the tribe of Evera, they were exhausted and forced to support themselves.

Evera, the former little pirate, now looks like a chieftain, with a beard, and looks much more mature.

He also knew Liu Qingshan and greeted him very respectfully.

In the past few years, with the help of Long Teng, Efuya's tribe has successfully merged some small tribes around it and developed into a large tribe with 10,000+ people.

Life has also been greatly improved. Although it is not as good as Longteng's residence, compared with those ordinary villages, it is at least comparable to a township.

A lot of land has been reclaimed here, and potatoes and corn are planted in large areas, which can ensure that the people in the tribe will no longer go hungry.

In this chaotic country, there are very few tribes that can achieve this.

That's why Evera's power has snowballed, growing bigger and bigger, and has become the most powerful and reliable ally of Longteng's garrison.

In the next step, their goal is to merge all the tribes in the middle of these two places into one.

As for whether the villages and tribes in the middle will agree, I guess they are eager to do so.

It's just that the speed of expansion should not be too fast, otherwise, the supply in all aspects will not be able to keep up.

Efuya led the guests directly to his home, and then asked his three wives to pour water for the guests.

Liu Qingshan didn't feel a smile on his face: This kid has three wives.

Wang Gong, who was preparing to build the power station here, also rushed over with a few people. Seeing Liu Qingshan, Wang Gong was also very excited.

He is an ordinary technician in China, but here, he enjoys the highest respect from the natives.

This kind of respect even surpassed the chiefs of those tribes, which greatly benefited Wang Gong, and he was full of energy when working.

Liu Qingshan asked about the construction of the power plant. Most of the equipment was imported, and only some infrastructure facilities, such as cement, were produced locally.

Then there is the fuel for the power plant in the future, and a large-scale coal mine has also been explored here.

While talking, Evera's wives poured tea for everyone, took a sip, and felt extremely sweet.

Everyone suddenly had an urge to cry: it was the first time that tea was so delicious!

"Boss, I'm going to donate the proceeds from this record." Maria has been thinking about this issue all the way, and now she has finally made up her mind.

When I was in the United States, there were also some organizations and institutions that organized charitable donations for Africa, but Maria did not participate.

Now that she finally had a personal feeling, she felt that she had to do something.

Liu Qingshan looked at Maria's firm eyes, and nodded with a smile: "Thank you, but you don't need to donate so much, just donate a well."

No matter how many donations, it is still water without a source. If they want to completely change the living situation here, they have to rely on themselves.

The idea of ​​donating a well quickly aroused everyone's interest, and the little stool was the first to announce:

"Then I'll donate a mouthful too, hee hee, it's the best if you don't forget the well digger when you drink water."

As a result, her enthusiasm suffered a blow, Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his hand at him:

"How much money you have saved now, I will see if it is enough to dig a well. If it is not enough, I will sell you to the chief. It is probably enough."

With the rise of the Longteng resident, many chiefs now want to marry another Huaxia girl as their wife, so they are very popular.

On the one hand, this is a show of favor, on the other hand, there is also the meaning of marriage in it.

After learning that a motorized well would cost at least more than [-] yuan, the little stool's face immediately collapsed: She really doesn't have that much money.

"Shall we donate a well together?" Oda suggested.

This was a good idea, so everyone got together in groups of three or four, and finally got together ten wells.

This money can only be asked Xiaowu to pay in advance, and then everyone will give it to Xiaowu after they go back.

"Then I will represent the local people first, thank you everyone!"

Xiao Wu clasped his fists in all directions, it seemed that he really regarded himself as a member of this land.

Efuya also understood, and thanked him too, but was stopped by Liu Qingshan: "These wells are not drilled in your territory, so don't be too happy."

"The villages we passed along the way need it more than you here."

Evera didn't take it seriously at all: "Haha, Liu, those places will soon become my territory."

This kid has a lot of ambitions, but if he wants to develop in this land, he can't do without ambition.

Just like that Chief Adu, who eats a lot of food and thinks about marrying more wives all day long, such a person must not have much promise, and sooner or later he will become someone else's dinner.

Everyone chatted happily, and Efuya ordered people to kill cattle and sheep, and began to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

While waiting for dinner, everyone also ate warm goulash with potatoes and a few roasted whole lambs.

After asking, I found out that the chefs who processed the food were all my compatriots, specially hired by Evera.

Just as they were having a lively meal, they saw a large group of people entering the courtyard of Evera's house, making noise.

Liu Qingshan recognized that the woman in the front was the director Wang Chunying of the Longteng Residential Health Center.

She was holding a baby in her arms, and there were a few nurses beside her, who were arguing with the people around them in the local dialect.

Those people included men and women wearing headscarves, and they seemed to be begging for something.

Looking at that appearance, it seems that he respects Wang Chunying and others very much.

That's right, in this land, the medical staff are all respected, and even the forces that are hostile to each other will not harm the medical staff on the battlefield.

"Sister Wang, what's going on?" Liu Qingshan got up and said hello.

Seeing Liu Qingshan, Wang Chunying was overjoyed: "Mr. Liu, when did you come? I haven't seen you for several years!"

Her voice was relatively loud, and the little baby in her arms burst into tears.

This is still a baby, only a few months old.

While shaking her arms to coax the child, Wang Chunying said to Liu Qingshan angrily: "I am leading the medical team to see a doctor, and this family sent me here."

"At first I thought it was because the baby was sick, but it turned out that I was asked to circumcise the baby girl."

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, holding the child in one hand, and pointing at the men and women in front of her with the other:

"I've told you that girls are not allowed to be circumcised in the future, so why don't you listen, have you been kicked by camels?"

Most of the doctors are sharp-mouthed, and Wang Chunying trained the family in front of her to nod repeatedly.

In the past few years, Dr. Wang has been running around in various villages and tribes all year round. There are countless people alive, especially the local women. Because of circumcision, they are particularly prone to danger during childbirth.

Wang Chunying's medical team has saved countless puerpera and babies. They are like the incarnation of angels in white clothes here, and they are affectionately called "the source of life".

So even after being reprimanded severely by her, the family still nodded and bowed, not daring to be dissatisfied.

After Wang Chunying had given enough training, the male owner of the family said with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "Doctor Wang, if you don't perform circumcision, you won't be able to get married in the future."

It is the most difficult thing to change the traditional concept. Obviously, what Wang Chunying said just now is all in vain.

Wang Chunying has given birth to too many local women, so she hates circumcision, but after all, the child belongs to others. She can reason and persuade, but the final decision is still in the hands of others.

"It's hopeless, I don't care!" Wang Chunying had no choice but to angrily stuff the child in her hand into a woman's arms.

When Wang Chunying turned around, everyone noticed that there were big teardrops falling down from her eyes.
