In Sichuan Province, on an unknown mountain road, a group of people lined up in a long line and headed towards the mountain.
This mountain road has existed for a long time and is the only way for villagers in Taohu Village to go up and down the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a winding earthworm.
The road itself is narrow and can only accommodate two adults walking side by side.
The long team that is marching at this time is not from Taohu Village. Most of them are young adults in their twenties and thirties. The oldest is no more than forty or fifty years old. Their clothes are not luxurious, but they do not look like ordinary mountain people.
Dress up, many of them even wear glasses.
Glasses are not uncommon in the city, but not many in the mountain villages have them. It’s not that they are expensive, but they are just that for mountain people who face the loess every day and are reluctant to light a lamp at night, they are not commonly used.
To things like glasses.
In addition to the dress, what is even more special is that there is a middle-aged man being carried by a young man, and another young man is carrying a wheelchair. Obviously, this wheelchair belongs to the man on the back.
After carrying it for a while, the person in front can no longer carry it, so he passes the wheelchair to the person behind him, while the person behind him passes the wheelchair to the person further behind.
Shi Tiesheng was carried on the back of a male student and was no longer as embarrassed as he was at the beginning.
They originally wanted to visit Yanjing first, and then start from Yanjing and walk all the way south. However, after spending two days in Yanjing, Yu Hua and the others found that the previously scheduled itinerary was too dense and they did not want to spend time in every place.
There was too little time, and most of it would be wasted on the road. I couldn't have fun at all, so I changed my mind temporarily.
They first deleted three-quarters of the places they wanted to go on the previously planned route, and were also considering deleting some of the remaining quarter.
Later, there was no plan anymore. Everyone just showed their hands and voted on where they wanted to go, and the minority obeyed the majority.
Of course, as the leaders of this tour group, Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu gave Shi Tiesheng a privilege.
When everyone voted to choose the next destination, Shi Tiesheng had veto power, which meant that as long as it was a place that Shi Tiesheng didn't want to go, no matter how many people wanted to go, it wouldn't work.
Shi Tiesheng has never used his veto power before, and this visit to Sichuan Province was decided by a show of hands.
When the car came out of Rongcheng and passed by Shanglou Mountain, Xu Zechen mentioned that there was a school donated by the Deep Space Company on Shanglou Mountain.
Xu Zechen didn't mean anything when he said this, he just mentioned it casually, but Yu Hua and the others looked at Shanglou Mountain and became interested in the school inside.
Although going up such a mountain is very tiring for ordinary people, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome. Yu Hua said that he wanted to go into the mountain to see the school. Of course the students had no objection.
As for Shi Tiesheng, Yu Hua suggested that everyone take turns carrying it.
Upon hearing this proposal, Shi Tiesheng, of course, refused to do it. Yu Hua simply said, "If you don't do it, then exercise your veto power. We will follow the rules."
Yu Hua knew Shi Tiesheng too well, and it was impossible for Shi Tiesheng to use his veto power on this matter.
Finally, Shi Tiesheng nodded and agreed.
At first, Shi Tiesheng was very embarrassed, but later he gradually accepted it.
Yu Hua walked behind and said with a smile, "I have gained experience this time. Next time before we go into the mountains, we will find two thick sticks and some ropes, tie the sticks to the chair, and make a temporary one for Tie Sheng."
It’s definitely much easier to carry a sedan chair than carrying it like this.”
Shi Tiesheng looked at the mountain road ahead and sighed, "Is there still a mountain to come from behind? Let's not worry about it, okay?"
Yu Hua waved his hand and said, "What kind of trouble is this? I will take you to climb Mount Everest when I have the chance."
Wang Xiaobo joked at the side, "It's okay to climb Mount Everest, but it's too cold. You need to wear thicker clothes when going there."
Bi Feiyu also laughed: "Others may have to wear thicker clothes when going, but Yu Hua doesn't need to. He has thick skin, and his face can hold up to others' three-layer cotton-padded jackets."
A few people joked like this, and the students who were traveling with them all wanted to laugh, but they could only hold back their laughter.
Chen Mobai, who was hanging at the back of the team, couldn't bear it anymore, so he opened his mouth wide and let out a few breaths, his smile was also covered up.
Yu Hua did not continue to bicker with Bi Feiyu and turned to ask Xu Zechen, "Zhechen, I didn't ask you just now, how did you know that there is a deep space-funded school up here?"
Xu Zechen smiled and said, "I had the idea of ​​supporting teaching before, so I took a list of the schools that Deep Space has funded."
"How can you remember so many schools? Your memory is as good as your teacher's." Bi Feiyu said with emotion.
Xu Zechen shook his head and said, "No, I just paid special attention to this Taohu Village Primary School. I thought at the time that since I wanted to support teaching, I naturally had to go to a remote place with difficult conditions. Among the schools funded by Deep Space, some of them have difficult conditions.
There are quite a few, but not many like Taohu Village."
Although Taohu Village is located in the mountains and is very remote, it has a large population of two to three thousand people. Although there are roads leading up and down the mountain, they live an almost isolated life.
Although Lichao Village has a population of 3,000, it is actually not very far from the foot of the mountain, and the villagers often go out to market.
But this is not the case in Taohu Village. Before the slings were repaired, it would have taken a day less to go up and down the mountain one way.
Now Shen Kong has built a suspension bridge for them, which can save a lot of walking, but it still requires a long walk to get there, and it's not even in the center of the village.
If you want to get to the center of the village, you still have to walk for nearly two hours.
In the past, when the suspension bridge was not repaired, most people would not go down the mountain within two or three months.
The situation of primary schools in the village is more complicated. There is one primary school, which was originally a wooden house, with two substitute teachers and two to three hundred students.
Yes, although Taohu Village is remote, there are many students, which is very different from schools in other places.
If it weren't for the large number of students here, Shenzong probably wouldn't have funded the schools here. Shenzong pays special attention to efficiency when doing these things.
Unless under special circumstances, Deep Space will not invest resources in schools in remote areas with few students. Because resources are limited, they must be allocated rationally so that more people can receive help.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Maybe it is not very user-friendly to focus on efficiency, but this is the purpose of Deep Space Company.
In fact, in the early days, Taohu not only had a primary school, but also a junior high school. However, it was stopped after it could no longer be run, and those who wanted to go to junior high school were sent to the foot of the mountain.
There are two to three hundred students in the primary school. It stands to reason that there will not be too few people in the junior high school. But in fact, when Taohu Junior High School was still there, there were only ten or twenty students admitted every year. The three grades combined were less than
Forty, and it decreases every year.
"Hey, we're almost there." Bi Feiyu suddenly said.
Everyone looked up and looked forward, and could already vaguely see several private houses.
But there is a canyon between them and the houses, and they need to cross the suspension bridge first.
Looking at the exposed suspension bridge, Wang Xiaobo worriedly asked, "Is this suspension bridge easy to walk on with people on its back?"
Bi Feiyu glanced at the suspension bridge. This bridge was simpler than they thought. The distance was not long. It looked like only about thirty meters. The width was less than one meter. It was paved with wooden boards underneath and ropes on both sides.
Made a network.
If you walk normally, there shouldn't be any danger, but if you carry someone on your back, it will be somewhat worrying.
Just as Shi Tiesheng was about to say something, Bi Feiyu had already walked over and picked him up from the student's back, and said very proudly, "What's the matter? I'll take you there right now."
Then Bi Feiyu carried Shi Tiesheng directly onto the suspension bridge, walking quickly along the way, and reached the other side in less than half a minute.
Everyone was worried when they saw Bi Feiyu walking so fast. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when he had completely passed by.
Yu Hua was so frightened that after she came to her senses, she stood here and cursed, "Bi Feiyu! If you want to die, don't hold others back!"
Shi Tiesheng, who was lying on Bi Feiyu's back, shouted with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Feiyu is very stable, and even if he really misses, I will support him. I will not suffer any loss. This kid will definitely live longer than me."
"
In fact, Shi Tiesheng was also in a panic when he was on the suspension bridge just now, but when he actually walked over, he felt a sense of excitement and felt that every cell in his body was active.
In the mountains in March, some green has appeared on both sides of the bank. From time to time, some unknown animals will make sounds in the woods, and two or three birds will fly out of the woods and fly around the suspension bridge.
, Shi Tiesheng just saw the bird hovering under his feet, and he felt as if he had grown wings.
He even had a scary thought. If he really fell, it would be nothing. At least it was more interesting than other ways of death. He felt the beauty of this mountain forest before he died.
However, if that were the case, it would be a pity for Bi Feiyu and a pity for not saying hello to Ximi and the others.
After everyone crossed the suspension bridge, Yu Hua was still cursing, Bi Feiyu didn't reply, and Shi Tiesheng kept comforting Yu Hua.
After walking for a long time, we finally reached the first private house.
Before they reached the door, an old man came out of the house wearing a coat and looked at the group of them blankly.
After approaching, Yu Hua smiled and said: "Hello, uncle, is this Taohu Village?"
The old man nodded, "Where are you from?"
"We are teachers and students of the school. Our school is organizing voluntary teaching activities. I heard that there is a primary school in Taohu Village, so I wanted to come and have a look." Bi Feiyu opened his mouth and made up a reason.
When the old man heard that he was here to support teaching, his attitude changed a little. He smiled and said, "The school is in front, and classes are taking place now. I will take you there."
"How far is it, sir?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "It's not far. It won't take long."
When they heard that it wouldn't take long to arrive, everyone was relieved. They had heard Xu Zechen said it was far away before, and they were mentally prepared to go a long way. They didn't expect that it was almost here.
"Uncle, this is the only main road in this village. Can we just walk inward? Just tell us and I won't bother you to take us there."
"Don't worry, I'll take you there." The old man took off his clothes, put them on, and walked in front to lead the way.
It was hard to reject the warm hospitality, so Yu Hua and the others said nothing more and followed the old man away.
The old man said he would be there in a moment, but Yu Hua and the others understood that it should only be a few minutes, or at most ten minutes.
But what they didn't expect was that this walk lasted nearly two hours, and they didn't rest for a moment on the way.
What impressed Yu Hua and the others the most was that this old man looked sixty or seventy years old, but he didn't look tired even after walking for nearly two hours.
Moreover, the old man seemed to be very popular in the local area, so he took Yu Hua and the others directly into the principal's office of Taohu Primary School.
"Gawa, we have a guest."
The principal was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was working at his desk. When he heard the old man's voice, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Uncle, why are you here?"
After saying that, the principal saw Yu Hua and the others standing behind the old man, "Who are these?"
Bi Feiyu used the same rhetoric again, "We are teachers and students of the school. The school has volunteer teaching activities. I heard that there is a primary school in Taohu, so I came to take a look."
This reason made Principal Li Dahai feel very strange. Normally, there were volunteer teachers coming, but they were usually notified in advance.
There are also students who come to have a look, but never on this scale.
However, the dress and temperament of the people in front of me do look like students and teachers in a university.
"Excuse me, which school are you from?"
Bi Feiyu and Yu Hua looked at each other and finally decided not to lie, "We are from Jinling Art Institute."
Li Dahai didn't react for a moment. He was still wondering if there was a school called Jinling Art Institute in the city, but soon his eyes widened, "Are you..."
Bi Feiyu smiled, pointed at Yu Hua and said, "This is Yu Hua."
According to experience, when they are a group of writers together, if Yu Dong is present, then Yu Dong’s name is best used; if Yu Dong is not present, then Yu Hua’s name is best used, so Bi Feiyu directly reported Yu Hua’s name
name.
Sure enough, Li Dahai knew Yu Hua, "Are you Teacher Yu Hua?"
Yu Hua smiled and said: "I am Yu Hua, the person who identified me just now is Bi Feiyu, the tall man next to him is Wang Xiaobo, and the cripple being carried is Shi Tiesheng..."
Li Dahai wanted to pinch his thigh to make sure he was not dreaming, but he felt that this action was too cowardly, so he held back.
He has lived for more than 40 years and never thought that he could see so many famous people in Taohu Village.
When Deep Space Corporation funded Taohu Primary School earlier, Li Dahai was grateful and longed for Yu Dong to come to their school. After all, there were examples of Yu Dong visiting other schools.
However, he also knew that Taohu Primary School was too remote and it would not be easy to come there. There was a high probability that Yu Dong would not come.
But Yu Dong didn't come, but Yu Hua and the others did.
Li Dahai never thought that these people in front of him were liars, because he couldn't imagine what so many people with outstanding temperament wanted to deceive them after traveling across mountains and rivers to their Taohu Village.
