Chapter 742

It's hot. It doesn't matter whether there is a quilt or not. Xu Qing and Li Changting came here in a carriage with everything from clothes to grain.

Stay outside, two people can't enter the space at the same time, have to leave a person to watch outside.

It's cool in the evening here, but there are many mosquitoes. Fortunately, Xu Qing had been prepared before he came here. Xu Qing bought a lot of mosquito repellent incense, and they went into the space respectively. After dinner, they fell asleep.

A night without a dream.

As soon as it was light, Xu Qing woke up when he heard the crowing of chickens outside. He went into the space to wash and began to prepare breakfast.

At this time, the little Dragonfly did not wake up, but when Xu Qing had almost prepared his breakfast, he was awakened by the fragrance that floated from the kitchen to the bedroom.

It's another busy morning. When it's ready, it's already bright outside.

After staying overnight, Xu Qing left two kilos of his own noodles to thank the owner.

The couple had been told by the village head that they could not accept the money from the guests. Originally, they "forced" them to stay. If they collected more money, they would be forced to buy and sell.

However, the food was given by the guest, and the couple refused. But the guest was resolute and didn't accept it. It seemed that he was unhappy. After thinking about it, the couple accepted it and gave back some dried fruits.

Seeing that the guests were very interested in their dried fruits, the couple were also relieved.

The village head had to know that the guests woke up and came over with their own steamed buns. However, he had to know that the guests had already had breakfast. He could not help but feel sorry that he was late.

Xu Qing got to know the situation with the village head. He knew that because their village was located in a deep mountain, it was not convenient to get in and out, so there were few traders willing to come here.

"But it's much better now. Since we dug up the mountain in front of us, the peddlers who came by car didn't have to cross the mountains. Our village has been getting better and better. Ten years ago, we were a famous poor village in ten li eight townships..." Speaking of the past, the village head is very emotional.

"Dig up the mountain?" Xu Qing's eyes widened when he looked at the place where he came.

When she entered the village, she felt a little strange. During that time, there was a section of road between the cliffs. She thought it was formed naturally, but unexpectedly it was dug out by hand!

The village head was filled with emotion when he talked about the road. Originally, the former village head suggested that we move the village, but many people were reluctant to move. Later, they thought whether we could dig a road at the lowest place at the junction of the two mountains. As a result, this idea was approved by most people in the village.

I'd rather dig mountains than move.

So we all worked hard and spent five years digging up the mountain road a little bit, digging out a road more than five meters wide.

But one year, because of heavy rain, the debris on the mountain collapsed and blocked the road. Fortunately, it was not serious. Later, after the debris was removed, fruit trees were planted on the soil walls with fruit dew on both sides.

Now at first glance, the cliffs on both sides are covered with vegetation, as if they were formed naturally. No one would have thought that they were dug up by people.

Xu Qing sighed that this is the real version of "Yugong moving mountains"!

Out of curiosity, she and Li Changting specially went back to visit.

I didn't expect that the villagers were so wise that they dug two ditches on both sides of the road. In this way, the rain washed down, so that the mountain road would not be flooded and the wet road would be wasted.

In order to build the road, the village also spent nine cows and two tigers, and after the road was built, it brought us countless benefits.

It's more convenient for them to visit relatives in neighboring villages. Even women from other villages are willing to marry here, not to mention the vendors who come to collect and sell goods.

In the next ten years, the population of the village has also undergone a qualitative leap, and the villagers who have tasted the benefits feel more and more that their hard work in the previous five years is worth it.

Xu Qing found that although the people here are poor, they are so poor that they have ambition. Instead of being insensitive because of the oppression of life, they have the strength to admit defeat. Everyone dreams of a better life.

Because of the village head's enthusiasm, Xu Qing then tasted all kinds of dried fruits, pickles and mountain delicacies made by the villagers.

Xu Qing recruited four people as usual and went to the next village without stopping.

At the end of the day, she visited five surrounding villages, leaving only two villages too far away.

Xu Qing originally wanted to go back to her home. So many people were enough for her, but they all came here. It's a pity that she didn't visit the last two villages.

Although it was a recruitment, it was more like a trip. The scenery along the way was beautiful.

So on the third day, Xu Qing and Li Changting rushed to the last two villages, which were the farthest and most remote from the town.

It's not easy to walk on the road. It's almost noon when we arrived. It's a coincidence that Xu Qing caught up with the historic moment of the two villages.

The first time I saw fights between villages, Xu Qing was silly, but what she didn't expect was that the way these people fought was quite civilized.It's a bit similar to SUMO in a certain country. When two men are not armed, they will win if they overturn each other first.

The arrival of Xu Qing and Li Changting is not a good time, because the two villages have a dispute over the ownership of a water source.

It turned out that there were two springs on the mountain, one on one side of the two villages was just right. As a result, one of the springs stopped flowing after the natural disaster, and the only one left was this one. So the dispute began on whether the water flowed eastward or westward.

Xu Qing saw the people in the two villages fighting with each other, one by one fighting red in the face. He watched the men take turns to fight. In the end, one of the villages won by a small margin of two.

Another village, of course, is not satisfied. It's unlucky to think that they will lose. It's hard to think about excuses. They just open their mouths.

In the end, no one would agree with anyone, and they would return to the first way to deal with the problem. A village would take one day to take turns.

Xu Qingting is very strange. It's not how malicious she is. It's surprising that the two villages can use this solution.

There's a saying that it's not called "bad people come from poor mountains and evil waters". If we change it to Changxi village, we can't avoid bloodshed. It's not like there's no such thing as fighting and killing each other during natural disasters.

People here can maintain a sense of rationality, in a village where there is no universal education and many people can't read big characters.

Then Xu Qing learned that although the two villages occupy the East and west sides of each other, because they are the only two villages within a few miles, the men and girls in the village have no choice but their own and neighboring villages.

So there are a lot of families who lead to intermarriage between the two villages.
