He sat on the bed and opened his notebook, which contained some photos he took yesterday.
After watching it for a few minutes, Han Qi deleted most of it.
There are too many flaws, please reshoot.
Your career as a professional photographer should start here!
After tidying up his jacket, he looked at his face and hair on the phone screen, then picked up the camera and walked out. Seeing the children leaving in a hurry, Han Qi smiled and looked at the scenery in front of him.
Smell the fresh air.
The cold air passed through my lungs, and my mind suddenly became clear.
It's already very lively outside.
In a farmhouse, there are few people who get up as late as Han Qi.
Children were chasing and playing, and women were sitting in rows in front of the house, chatting and weaving. This was their way of making money. Although the efficiency was relatively low and the price was not high, it was still an income.
This kind of thing is quite expensive on shopping websites, but they sell it very cheaply.
Han Qi took a few photos, then went over and asked, "Can I take a photo of your weaving?"
The women didn't understand. A man who was about the same age as the young man came over to help translate, and then they realized that Han Qi wanted to take pictures for them. They were not shy, but enthusiastically asked Han Qi to take pictures for them. The youngest in this group was all in their forties.
A few-year-old ethnic minority woman was as happy as a child.
There is only one condition, and that is for Han Qi to remember to give them the photos.
Han Qi first took a picture of each of them, and then when they were busy again and no longer cared whether there was a photographer around them, Han Qi picked up the camera again and took a close-up.
Looking back, Han Qi saw Nan Yanzi's mother carrying water and walking on the rural road in the distance.
Han Qi hurried over and said, "Auntie, let me help you."
"No need, no need!!"
Han Qi understood this sentence and continued to ask a few more questions, but gave up due to her aunt's constant insistence.
Although he was carrying water, he didn't sweat on his head. He obviously had plenty of energy and didn't need Han Qi's help.
Nan Yanzi was not there either. It was not easy for him to communicate with the people here, so he walked out of the village and walked around, taking a lot of photos. The fruit forest behind the village was very large. But there were oranges nearby that could not be sold at a high price.
, now each knot is particularly full and the color is very beautiful.
Han Qi jumped down and observed carefully.
It's better than many oranges on the market.
Nowadays, there are more people in this forest. They are all girls over ten and under twenty. They are picking ripe oranges into bamboo baskets. Han Qi took a few more glances and heard someone using them in the distance.
In words he could understand he said:
"Young man, come and try two."
"You are?"
This is an old man in his fifties, wearing a thick purple suit jacket, with the style of an old cadre.
"I am the village chief here. Young men can do it. If you dare to go up the mountain, you are a good man. Haha, no outsiders have been to this mountain for a long time. The place is a good place, but the road is not easy to walk. It is mainly troublesome for students and children to go to school."
Han Qi grunted, nodded in agreement, and said, "Hello, village chief."
Nan Yanzi was also in the forest. When she saw Han Qi coming out, she ran over with an orange as big as Han Qi's two fists, jumping up and down with a beautiful smile.
"Are you awake? This is for you."
"Click."
Han Qi took a photo and took the fruit with Nan Yanzi's confused expression.
The uncle said with a smile: "We don't have anything else here, but the fruit is very sweet, and mango is the best. It's a pity that it's out of season."
Han Qi had eaten a lot yesterday, and it was indeed very sweet.
Han Qi took this orange and chatted with the village chief for a while, mainly to ask them if they had any idea of moving out. After all, it is not convenient to do anything up here. Children have to climb such a high mountain to go back and forth to school. Really
Very dangerous.
"Who wouldn't want to go out to live? But there is no money." The village chief had no choice but to sigh and said, "Although the government has given some subsidies, we still can't get the rest of the money. Every family is in need.
A family’s annual income of three thousand is considered good.”
"..."
Han Qi went out with 3,000 yuan, which was only enough for his living expenses for a few days.
We can't blame Han Qi for spending money lavishly. He goes out alone and has to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation. But people here don't worry about food and housing, but they worry about communication with the outside world.
They live in groups on such a high mountain. They are generally warm and welcome outsiders, but they are unwilling to have more contact with people in the city.
How can we truly connect this place with the outside world?
Han Qi began to think about this issue.
Children passed by Han Qi in groups. Some were quite old. They looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old. Han Qi nodded to them and asked the village chief:
"None of them study?"
"No, I'm worried about this too. People in the village feel that there is no way out from studying. It's better to stay in the village and help do something. After all, this mountain is so big and there are many places that can be cultivated." The village chief
Somewhat disappointed, "I can't help it..."
"You haven't studied yet?" Han Qi was surprised again.
"That's not entirely true. There are still two students. It's just that the mountain road is difficult to walk. They didn't start school until they were twelve years old, and now they come back once every half month."
After a while, the village chief had to do his own business, so Han Qi walked down the mountain by himself.
The food here has been harvested, and no one was seen.
He reached the edge of the cliff and looked down.
It was still cloudy and misty, and even with his eyesight, he couldn't see anything at the bottom of the mountain. He stared at the cliff for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Forget it, even if I want to help them, I don't know what to do, why should I miss them?"
What happens after you join civilized society?"
If Nan Yanzi hadn't told him about the rules in this village yesterday, he wouldn't have thought of connecting it to the outside world.
In 2022, China has become the second largest economy in the world, but there is still a place in the country without electricity, children are not allowed to go to school, and women are forced to kneel down to eat. Is this reasonable?
It’s already such a poor place. If we don’t let the children read some books, won’t we have to continue to be poor from generation to generation?
There is no future in studying.
Han Qi has heard in his life that studying is useless, but he has never heard that studying has no future.
Even to work in a factory, you still need to know a few words.
Without telling Nan Yanzi and the others, Han Qi went down the mountain on his own.
When he came up before, he was accompanied by someone, so he didn't feel bored. But now Han Qi is walking alone in the mountains and fields, passing through the clouds and fog, and a feeling of loneliness and exhaustion comes quickly... It is still a bit scary, after all, this is
All places.
On the way, I met an old man who climbed up from below, carrying a basket of coal, which was sealed with sacks to prevent the coal from falling.
He saw Han Qi coming down and asked with a smile.
"Handsome guy, please don't stay in the village for two more days?"
Only those who are willing to go down the mountain can understand Han Qi.
