There is no doubt that the news that the young man brought us is the most true.
When he took us to a village to stop, Yu Chunan and I got off the car and had a look. We were very sorry.
The village is located at the foot of the mountain. There is not even a concrete road. It is full of mud roads.
As soon as the car stopped, many children in dirty clothes came from different places and looked at us curiously.
I looked at the village. Many of them are old mud brick huts, very ancient. Occasionally, there are two-story buildings, but not many.
Yu Chunan and I looked at these children with vegetable color and immediately took out something to share with them.
The little guys are eating snacks, smiling, and in a moment, even the farthest children are playing.
At this time, the driver from the village with a 60 year old man came to us quickly.
"Welcome, welcome." As soon as the old man came up, he immediately said to us excitedly, "I didn't expect that there would be any noble people to come to our place to help. It's really rare. Thank you so much."
His Putonghua is a local dialect, which is not standard, but I barely understand it.
"Ms. Yu, this is village head Yang of this village. I'm very excited to hear that you've come here. Usually, this village is too remote. No one will come here to help them." The driver explained to us.
I nodded and gave village head Yang a friendly smile: "village head Yang, it should be. Don't be too polite."
"There's a noble man coming. Go and sit down at home. Have a common meal first, and then talk about it slowly." Village head Yang immediately warmly invited us to his home.
I just wanted to know about the situation here, so I agreed.
As village head Yang walked into his house, his house was clean and tidy. Instead, he built a two-story building. Next to it was an old style house, which was used as a kitchen. As soon as we went in, he ordered his wife to cook.
He gave us tea from the mountains and sweet potato slices and wild fruits from his own harvest.
We sat down and talked. Through the conversation, I learned that this village is the local famous "orphan village". The two neighboring villages are very poor villages. There are almost no middle-aged men and women in the village. They are all old people and children. Most of these children are poor
They were orphans, all dressed in rags and unkempt. After village head Yang explained later, I realized that there were so many orphans. It turned out that there was a huge debris flow here. At that time, many young parents rescued their children and ran back to rescue valuables
I couldn't run out and was drowned for the most part.
Of course, some of these young parents are forced to make a living and have already gone to other places to work.
What we can see now is that there are all kinds of dilapidated faces, which make people's nose sour.
After we had a chat, I suggested that we take a look outside. Village head Yang readily agreed.
The village is not big. It's next to the nearby village, and it's not too small. We walk slowly and watch.
"Aren't these children in school?" I asked, looking at the little guys jumping behind us.
"Well, yes, most of them didn't go to school. Only a very small number of parents who moved out or built houses on the other side of the school could go to school." Yang Cun sighed.
"Why?" I asked, puzzled“ Because there is no school near here. To go to school, we have to run dozens of miles on the mountain road. In addition, there are too many people in the school to take so many children. Moreover, we can't stay and run back and forth. The children can't stand it. Some children who have the chance to go to school have just run for a few days
After that, I don't want to go at all. It's not safe to run back and forth because it's too far away. " Yang village head very helpless reply way.
"But now we are all implementing nine-year compulsory education. In principle, children have to go to school." Yu Chunan's eyebrows were fixed and his face was solemn.
"Even so, it's quite difficult to go to school on the mountain road for tens of miles. In addition, there is only one school in this area, so it's hard to arrange it." The old village head sighed and kept shaking his head.
I was silent.
Maybe there are few outsiders in this village. The children are always excited and around us“ Mr. Yang, I want to build a hope primary school here to solve the problem of children going to school in nearby villages. Where do you think it is more suitable to build it? " My eyes look at the towering peaks around me, and the sky with the bright mirror floating on them
He asked.
"Really? That's great. " Yang village head a listen, eyes shine, all over the face are suffused with joy of red halo, repeatedly excited to say, "as for the place, there are several, I take you to have a look."
"Yes, Mr. Yang, you should choose the best place to take Ms. Yu to have a look. It's a great thing. The children have hope." The young driver immediately urged village head Yang.
"Good, good." Village head Yang was very excited and took us to one side.
"It's not very spacious here. It's not easy for children to plan ahead."
"It's not good here. It's backed by a mountain. The quality of the mountain is relatively loose and unsafe."
……
Village leader Yang even took us to see several places, which were denied by us.
Finally, he took us to a flat place in the back. I looked around and immediately said, "it's good here."
"Well, it's good, but there's a peculiar smell here all the year round, which is bad for children's health." Yang village head listened to some embarrassed to say.
When I heard this, I was very surprised and wanted to ask.
All of a sudden.
Accompanied by a mountain breeze, there was a pungent smell pouring directly into my nose. I immediately covered my nose.
"Ah, what's that over there?" At this time, Yu Chunan pointed to the other side of the mountain and asked in astonishment.
I smell speech to follow the direction of her finger to see, see in the mountain side a black bad smell of smoke is slowly rising from the chimney, slowly spread.
With the mountain wind, the black smoke gave off a bad smell, which was indescribable strange.
"Mr. Yu, let's go." Yu Chunan suddenly realized something and pulled me away.
I followed her closely. I could still smell the pungent smell after walking a long distance. I was very surprised. I didn't know what it was.
"Village head Yang, where did the smoke come from?" We came to a place where there was no smell at the foot of the mountain before we stood still. I asked immediately“ Ah, it's said that there are some factories built there. The smell comes from the smoke, and the smoke is made by those factories. " Village head Yang pointed to the mountain side and said sadly, "originally, the environment here was very good. Since the factories were built there, we often smell these bad smells. Sometimes we feel dizzy after smelling too much."
