Volunteers and local villagers who had been in the mountain once before have been waiting at the entrance. According to them, the mountain road is not too long, but the most difficult thing is that there is a natural moat in the middle, with mountains on both sides, and a river about 50 meters wide in the middle. There is no bridge between the two mountains, only two steel cables. Anyone can enter the mountain, except helicopter, only through these two steel cables.

Although Li Mu had made preparations for it, he didn't know how hard it was until he followed these people into the mountain. The mountain road was not repaired systematically. The place that was a little gentle was almost hard soil stepped out by his feet, and the place that was steeper could see some traces of manual repair. But he only repaired the dens of his feet deeper and smoother so that people wouldn't climb The soles of the feet slide on the slope.

According to the guide, although the villagers in the mountain rely on this road to get in and out of the mountain, even if they are not sure of absolute safety, every year someone is injured on this road, with minor sprain injury and severe fracture. For the mountain people, if they fall on this road, they will not get out of the mountain in the first half of the year.

This is the first time in his life for Li Mu to walk on such a difficult mountain road. To tell you the truth, he is an old man in his early twenties. It's very difficult to imagine how the old people here can get out of the mountain.

Fortunately, there are also these soldiers who have been trained. They can ensure that each person can bear 15kg on this kind of mountain road. In addition to some equipment, some grain and oil prepared for the old man are also taken by them. Li Mu is not sure whether he can persuade the old man to go down the mountain. These grain and oil are a record. At least, they can make the old man not worry about eating any more 。

Li Mu's hometown is on the east coast. Although it's not an economically developed area, it's generally fair to say that the poverty he saw before was nothing more than living in a small way, thrifty, thrifty, and at most shabby. But when he was in the deep mountains in the southwest and was struggling on the mountain road that was not the road, he realized what it was called real poverty Poor.

Real poverty is the kind of reality that makes people fall into despair at a glance.

In the mountain where even bicycles can't walk out, Li Mu brings himself in. What he can think of is not only despair, but also despair.

To Li Mu's surprise, Liu Xin, who was walking with her, didn't seem to work so hard. Her movements were extremely neat, sometimes much more dexterous than her own.

At first, Li Mu was still surprised, but he was relieved to think of one thing. Liu Xin, a woman who has been to the South and the north pole and still wants to climb Mount Everest, should be a piece of cake. Compared with her, she is inferior. She really hasn't participated in that kind of challenging outdoor activities, and has no such experience at all.

A group of people climbed for an hour in the mountain road, and finally gradually climbed to the top. When they came to the top of the mountain, Li Mu first saw the two slides across the two mountains. The slides were steel cables thicker than his thumb, which were fixed on the top of both sides of the mountain. It happened that a villager was sliding a little bit from the opposite mountain with a lamb in his arms. Li Mu watched carefully while gasping for breath It is found that there are two side-by-side pulleys above the slide rope. Under the pulley, there is a fixed rope. When people cross the river, they tie themselves to the rope, and then drag the rope a little by hand to let the pulley move forward.

Before he came near, Li Mu had heard the huge surging sound, such as the opening of the sluice gate of the hydropower station, which was extremely loud. Under the surging sound, both of them had to shout out when they were talking next to each other. Otherwise, they couldn't hear clearly at all. When he came here and looked down, Li Mu could see the surging river water. The flow speed was very fast, and the mud was rolling. He watched Fear comes from the heart.

"President Li, this is the Nujiang River below," a volunteer from the province shouted in Li Mu's ear

Li Mu suddenly realized: "no wonder I always think I've seen this kind of situation. When you say Nujiang River, I remember that I've learned geography in junior high school."

The volunteer smiled and said: "in the eyes of the people outside the mountain, this is a rare scenery, but in the eyes of the local people, this is the mother river, and it is also the natural moat that blocks them from the outside world. This kind of slide is the town on this side of the slide, and there are more than ten primitive villages located in the deep of the mountain on the other side of the slide, which are shared by the mountain people with a radius of more than ten kilometers Even if they go out of the mountain, they can only go to the town where we just stopped. When they think of the county, they have to walk tens of kilometers. There is no bus here. There are people in the town who ride three motorized wheels to carry passengers, and there are also people who drive cattle and car passengers. Walking through those tens of kilometers, they are really out of the mountain. "

Li Mu nodded softly. A dozen villages used this slide to get in and out of the mountain. It's more than ten kilometers around. That is to say, the farthest village in the mountain has to walk more than ten kilometers to get there. A dozen kilometers in the flat land is nothing. But in such a big mountain, a dozen kilometers would take at least half a day to get there?

In this way, a day is not enough for villagers to go out of the mountain

Just thinking about it, Liu Xin waved to Li Mu at one end of the slide and said, "President Li, it's over the river!"

Li Mu used to play with the slide rope in the big mountain scenic area around Yanjing. The feeling of sliding down the mountainside with the slide rope hanging is particularly cool. To some extent, Li Mu likes the exciting feeling. But today, Li Mu is full of awe, tied himself up firmly, and then dragged the slide rope with his hands.As the height of the two sides of the mountain is similar, there is basically no drop between the two slides. So no matter entering or leaving the mountain, you can't slide down. You have to drag with your hands a little bit. Li Mu only knows how tired this thing is when he slides out. Although there is no height drop between the two sides of the steel cable, the steel cable is not straight. After people go up, the position of the steel cable is where they are Naturally, it was pulled down a little bit, so it was very hard to slide. At the foot of the foot was the rolling Nu River water. The water was turbulent, which made people feel empty.

Li Mu had only half slipped, and his two arms were extremely sour. When he finally slid to the opposite side, his arms were aching and unconscious.

Li Ziwei, a delicate woman, had been crying for ten minutes on the river for half of the time. Finally, she slipped over with her teeth in her mouth. Li Mu comforted her and sighed in her heart. No matter how much money people in the city make, many people complain about the pressure of life, hardship and social injustice every day. But compared with people living here, they are superior. I don't know How many times? I'm afraid that the greatest wish of the young people here is to walk out of the mountains.

The army took turns to slide across the river, and then went down for an hour under the guidance of the guide. When the public went over a mountain and stood at the foot of another mountain, the guide pointed to dozens of houses on the hillside and said, "that's Baofu village we're going to. It's about 20 minutes from here to the mountain."

People are relieved, more than 20 minutes, victory is in front of them.

The guide said: "there are more than 30 villagers in the village now, with a permanent population of more than 100, most of them are old, children, women and children, and some middle-aged workers with silicosis. Mr. Sun, who we are going to visit, lives on the east side of the hill."

Mr. Sun was originally called sun Xiaozhong, filial piety and loyal loyalty. Since ancient times, it has been said that loyalty and filial piety are not complete. I don't know what's the meaning behind the old man's name.

……

More than 20 minutes later, a large group of 20 people finally arrived at Baofu village. This village has been defeated. The whole village is full of thatched cottages, not even a brick house. For a slightly better family, three thatched cottages are very good. Some families even have only one narrow thatched cottage. What's the internal area from the outside No more than 10 square meters.

Baofu village has almost never been visited outside. Occasionally, there are people from outside the mountain, and all of them are young people who go out to work. This time, so many people from outside the village and more than a dozen soldiers in military uniforms shocked the whole village. Men, women, old and young people went out one after another and looked at these uninvited guests in horror. There is only one village head officially appointed in this village An old man in his sixties, who was chosen by all of us, was also working as a "village head". Seeing such a big battle, the old man was very nervous and asked Chen Chengwu, who looked like the chief. He spoke in local dialect. Chen Chengwu couldn't understand. At this time, the guide hurriedly went up to Chen Chengwu and said, "he is the village head elected by the village. His surname is Tian. Everyone called him Village head Tian, just now he asked you if the PLA had come to the mountain to arrest the fugitives. He said that 20 years ago, there were dozens of PLA soldiers who came to the mountain to arrest the fugitives. They searched the mountain for three days and three nights. "

Chen Chengwu hurriedly said to him, "explain to the old village head that we are here to see Mr. Sun."

The guide nodded, pointed to the east direction and said a few words to the village head Tian. The village head Tian was stunned, and then said a few words to him. After chatting for a while, they saw that the expression of the village head Tian was more and more surprised. Later, they seemed to be in a hurry, clapping their thighs and shouting a few words.

Chen Chengwu asked the guide, "what did the old village head say?"

The guide said: "the old village head said that someone had come to see him a few days ago and said that he was a hero who had beaten Japanese devils before. People in the village didn't believe him. I just told him that sun had beaten devils, and he was a flying tiger who flew a plane to beat devils in the sky. The old village head said that such an important thing. Why didn't he say that sun lived alone in the village For half a lifetime, no one knows that he is a great hero. If he had known it, he would have been offered up as an ancestor! "

Chen Chengwu sighed and said, "it's not too late to know. Just tell the old village head that we should go to see Mr. Sun first and come back to visit him later."

The guide said a few words to the old village head, and the old village head immediately replied two words. The guide said that the old village head would go together, and Chen Chengwu didn't object to it, so he called the guide to take you there.

When he came to the small hillside in the east of the village, Li Mu almost burst into tears when he saw the lonely thatched house. The thatched house was really broken. Its dark thatched roof had collapsed in half, revealing the rotten and broken wood inside. It seemed that a strong wind could blow it down completely. The door of the thatched house was even more simple, which was made up of several thatched houses The crooked branches were nailed at random. In order to keep the wind away, a fertilizer bag with urea written on it was pasted. It has been used for a long time, and now it is full of holes.

Before we got to the door, the old village head shouted twice with an accent that people couldn't understand. A moment later, the door of the dilapidated house was pushed open. A rickety old man with white hair and ragged clothes walked out of the door with a stick made of branches. When he saw a dozen soldiers in military uniforms standing outside, the old man was stunned, After a while, he even raised his right hand tremblingly. It took him a long time to raise his right hand to his ear with a little difficulty.At this moment, all people understand that the old man is saluting them
