Chapter 391 Going to the Countryside 2
Isn’t there an oxcart?
Without the ox cart, what would happen to their luggage?
Do they have to carry it all the time?
Uncle Ge: "The road to our village cannot be driven by an oxcart."
Everyone: "..."
How bad is the road? Even a bullock cart can't walk on it?
Everyone’s faces turned pale, they had to carry their own luggage.
Still a girl with short hair: "Uncle Ge, how long does it take to walk from the Educated Youth Office to your village?"
Uncle Ge: "I can walk there in two hours. As for you... …”
He glanced at everyone and sighed: "It will be good if we can reach the village before dark."
Everyone got off the train at five o'clock in the morning and worked as tractors for three hours. It is now almost eight or nine in the morning. .
There are at least ten hours left before dark.
Isn’t this looking down on them too much?
The faces of several young people turned red and they were very unconvinced.
Old Man Ge spoke again: "Have you had breakfast? Do you have any food with you? If not, hurry up and buy something to eat, and then prepare food for the road. If you are hungry, your speed will be slower."
< br>The young people really felt hungry. They had almost eaten all the dry food they had brought with them on the train.
After all, the weather is hot and dry food cannot be stored for a long time.
Liu Fang asked: "Uncle Ge, is there a place selling food nearby?"
Old man Ge said: "There is a state-owned hotel three hundred meters away from the Educated Youth Office."
Liu Fang: "Please wait for us for a while."
She turned to Liu Heng and said: "Second brother, you guard and salute, I will buy some steamed buns and come back."
A The girl said, she knew Liu Fang, her name was Jia Hongmei: "Liu Fang, bring me two steamed buns."
As she said that, she took out the food stamps and money from her bag and handed them to Liu Fang.
Several other people also begged Liu Fang to buy steamed buns for them.
Liu Fang readily agreed.
Although these people did not come from the same place as she and Liu Hiiragi, they had communicated with each other along the way, knew their names, and got to know each other, so it was easy to help them carry things.
The steamed buns are not heavy.
Only one of the girls named Lou Manman gave Liu Fang more food stamps and banknotes: "Well, buy me two meat buns."
Liu Fang nodded in response. Down.
The girl with short hair is named Zhang Weihong, and she said: "I don't need to buy steamed buns, I still have dry food."
Liu Fang walked to the state-owned restaurant, and after a while, she bought back a large bag of steamed buns.
Everyone gathered around, received their own steamed buns, and started eating.
Zhang Weihong took out a dry steamed bun from his bag, lowered his head and gnawed it.
Old man Ge sat aside and continued to smoke cigarettes. When he saw that everyone had finished eating the steamed buns, he stood up and said to everyone: "Let's go."
Everyone picked up their luggage and followed Old Man Ge.
Half an hour later, several young people could no longer walk. Their luggage weighed down their backs.
But no one helped them, so they could only grit their teeth and persist.
Old man Ge looked at everyone and shook his head.
Suddenly, he saw a figure with ease in his sight.
The young man is in good health and has great strength.
Old man Ge praised in his heart.
The person who was praised was naturally Liu Heng. He not only carried his own luggage, but also shared part of Liu Fang's luggage.
After walking like this for another hour, everyone almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
They finally understood why Old Man Ge didn’t drive the bullock cart.
This road is all mountainous, the roads are very narrow, and some places are even very steep. It's strange that an ox cart can drive.
Now, in front of them is an iron cable bridge that can only accommodate one person walking.
The two iron locks were covered with wooden boards and were dangling. There was a cliff below, which looked extremely scary.
Even if there are ropes on both sides for them to hold on to, they dare not walk.
A few people were just stranded by the Iron Lock Bridge. Old Man Ge looked at the sky and said, "If you don't cross the bridge, you won't be able to reach the village before dark today."
A young man named Xiang Ming asked in a trembling voice: "Uncle Ge, can't we take a detour?"
Old Man Ge: "There is only one way to the village."
Everyone: "..."
Jia Hongmei: "I, I don't dare to walk. This bridge doesn't look safe."
Others nodded in agreement.
Old Man Ge: "It's safe. I've been walking for decades and nothing has happened."
No one dared to leave, and Old Man Ge couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Then don't go to our village, just go home."
No one made any move.
It's impossible to go back, but they really don't dare to leave.
Liu Heng asked Liu Fang: "Do you dare to leave?"
Liu Fang shook his head.
Liu Hiiragi: "I will move my luggage over first, and then come back to take you across the bridge."
As he said that, in the eyes of everyone's shock, he took the luggage and rubbed it for a few times. We crossed the chain bridge when we got off.
That speed...
It's just amazing.
Old man Ge nodded with satisfaction.
This kid is really good.
Liu Hao put down his luggage and walked back across the bridge. He stretched out his hand to Liu Fang: "Take my hand and I will take you across the bridge."
Liu Fang immediately put her hand into Liu Heng's palm.
Liu Heng pulled Liu Fang onto the cable bridge.
Although the bridge is shaking, my brother’s hand is steady.
The fear in Liu Fang's heart became less, and she was pulled by Liu Heng across the chain bridge.
On the other side of the bridge, the young man named Xiang Ming took a deep breath, walked a few steps forward, and came to the iron chain bridge.
Two people successfully crossed the bridge, proving that the bridge was indeed safe.
Don't be afraid, walk faster, you will be able to cross the bridge soon.
Xiang Ming mustered up all his energy, stepped on the bridge board of the cable bridge with one foot, and quickly followed with the other foot.
He stepped carefully, but not slowly, and quickly crossed the chain bridge.
After Xiang Ming, two boys, Li Jianshe and Huang Xiaocheng, also mustered up the courage to cross the chain bridge.
The remaining three girls were picked up one by one by Liu Heng.
Old man Ge glanced at Liu Heng appreciatively and led them to continue walking on the mountain road.
This walk lasted eight or nine hours. The main reason was that several people were not strong enough and had to stop frequently to rest.
By the time they arrived at the village, it was already dark.
Most of the villagers in the village have already rested.
Old Man Ge brought them to two stilted buildings not far from each other and said to everyone: "You will live here from now on. One building for gay men and one building for lesbians."
Everyone thanked Old Man Ge. Climbed up their respective bamboo buildings.
There are only two rooms on the second floor of the Bamboo House, one is a bedroom for everyone and the other is a living room.
The three boys were so tired that they threw their luggage aside and climbed onto a bamboo bed each.
Soon, the three of them were snoring.
Liu Heng was also very tired.
Although he has cultivated his internal strength, it has only been practiced for a few days, and his internal strength is very small and cannot fully nourish his body.
He walked such a long way today, climbed mountains and crossed bridges, and had to carry a heavy salute on his back. His physical strength was very high.
Liu Hao walked to the remaining bamboo bed, sat down, and began to practice.
