Chapter 260 The Road(1/2)

 "Can we walk this far?"

"It's okay. Let's walk along the road first. It will be much easier when the road ends and reaches the mountain."

The matter has come to this, there is no other way, everyone still has to follow him.

There is a total of seventy miles from Yuanxi County to Shuangshui Village, and there is a Hengduan Mountains barrier between the two.

Of course, it is called by such a name, not the famous Hengduan Mountains at the top of the mountains in the southwest.

It is a total of forty miles from Yuanxi County to the Hengduan Mountains.

Later, I was driving in the car and listening to music, and I arrived in a short while.

But now, the average person can walk ten miles per hour, which is four hours.

Climbing through the Hengduan Mountains, there are also Xiashan Village, commune, and Guan Village, and finally you can reach Shuangshui Village, which is another thirty miles.

It takes seven hours to walk alone at this level of difficulty. Who can stand it?

Otherwise, if he was angry, he would not be sent to the commune and asked to go to the county town to collect it. The journey alone would make a man cry.

Don't compare the city people with the dealers below. There is no comparison between the two.

People in rural areas would be terribly worried walking this way, let alone those who have just come down from the city. Let me give you a try by walking this way.

Whoever has nothing to do will be fine after walking this seventy-mile road.

Walking such a long distance all of a sudden would be extremely tiring for anyone, let alone this educated youth who had just come down from the city and had never experienced such a crime. It would be even more unbearable.

After a while, I felt tired and uncomfortable. Some people couldn't help but ask, "Brother Du, when do we have to arrive?"

"No hurry, it won't take long. Okay, you are tired from walking, come up and take a break in batches, two at a time."

"Ah, thank you very much, Brother Du."

Everyone suddenly became happy, finally being able to take a break without having to walk on their own.

Competing with each other for this rare opportunity, the two girls soon got into the car to rest first.

Someone is wearing a watch, and everyone is planning to rest for twelve minutes, so that they can take turns to rest once an hour.

Du Yun saw this and comforted him, "It's not that I don't want you to rest, but if you can't even survive this journey, let alone live in this rural area, you'd better go back as soon as possible."

A group of people nodded to express their understanding. As for what they thought in their hearts, that was another matter.

Du Yun doesn't care about them, which can be regarded as his sincere words. After all, you can't handle such a trivial matter, and it will be impossible to do farm work.

So this is not a show of force, it is really for the benefit of these educated youths.

A group of people followed him, feeling tired and uncomfortable. The further they walked, the worse they felt.

Doesn’t this mean going to Shuangshui Village? Why haven’t we reached it yet?

Someone couldn't help but ask about the situation. Du Yun smiled and explained, "Walk slowly and wait until you reach the end of the road."

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and they had reached the end of the road, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. They finally saw some signs of reaching their destination, and they could have a good rest.

"Brother Du, we are all here, how far is it?"

"It's almost over the mountain."

"Still have to climb over the mountain?"

Everyone wailed even more. Who would have thought that they would have to climb this mountain? Thinking about it gave them a headache.

"Don't worry, there is a tunnel on the mountainside ahead. You can cross the mountains through the tunnel. Otherwise, we have to go around this mountain and the road will be longer."

Du Yun explained that he did not dare to say where it would end.

They couldn't hold on anymore, and giving them an endless goal made them even more desperate.

It's better to tell them in stages, give them small goals one by one, and let them achieve them.

Wait until the end to let him know where the destination is.

Okay, everyone has said that, so what if they feel unhappy, they still have to get over it.

Du Yun then comforted him and said, "After we cross this mountain, let's take a rest and eat something."

When they heard about eating, everyone nodded, feeling that this was not bad, at least they could rest for a while.

After crossing the mountain, everyone was eating on the roadside. Some people looked at the village below the mountain and couldn't help but ask, "Have we arrived at Shuangshui Village? Is it the village below?"

Xiashan Village is at the foot of the Hengduan Mountains, only a few miles away from them and looks very close.

Du Yun also wanted to say, this is your destination, the long march of thousands of miles has finally come to an end, but the fact is that it has only just been halfway completed.

The road ahead is easy to walk, but the back is full of rugged mountain trails. Compared with the front, it is only a little more than half completed, less than two-thirds.

"It's almost here, we'll be there in two or three villages."

"Ah, it's still so far away."

Everyone was stunned and couldn't bear it.

Seeing that it was not yet dark, they were rushing on their way in the dark.

After walking for several hours, I am already exhausted and even more uncomfortable. Who wants to walk dozens of miles further?

A group of people were confused at that time and almost started a riot. They looked at him with anger and wanted him to find a place to rest.

"It's useless for you to look at me. The order I received was just to take you back."

"Then we can't spend the night in the village at the foot of the mountain and wait until tomorrow to leave?"

"I don't know anyone in Xiashan Village. Even if I do, do you think we can find a place for all of you to stay?"

Thinking that this was impossible, everyone was helpless, but they had to accept it.

They were unfamiliar with the place, so what could they do if they didn't listen to Du Yun? They couldn't find a suitable place, so they could only follow Du Yun's advice on where to live.

They were feeling depressed, and Du Yun smiled and consoled them, "Let's get to the commune first. I'll ask Director Xu if we can stay overnight in the commune, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

Everyone wanted to say that they couldn't stand it now.

However, in this situation, it is impossible to say anything. I can only grit my teeth and persevere, trying my best to hope that I can finally reach the commune to rest.

Gritting my teeth, I mustered up my last strength and walked forward. It was just getting dark now, it was not very dark, and I could still see the road clearly.

We have to take this opportunity to go further, try to reach the commune in the shortest time, and then find a place to rest.

After finally arriving at the commune, Du Yun looked around and found that there was no resting place here.

There is no way, who is still staying in the office in the middle of the night.

The pace of life is so slow now that no one rests in the commune.

Even in the future, there will only be a few people on duty at most. Is it possible that there will be someone waiting for you to handle some business?

Is it possible? It’s simply impossible.

Things in the commune can be done clearly during the day, and there is no such thing as night time.

In this case, they can only grit their teeth and head to the village.

"Ah, no, I have to go back so late."

Now everyone stopped working and clamored for a rest. They were really tired and couldn't bear it and didn't want to leave anymore.

They walked sixty or seventy miles along the way. Except for a limited time when they rested on the carriage, they spent most of the time measuring the land with their feet. They were already tired and uncomfortable.

I thought I could rest when I came to the commune, but when I arrived I found that there was no place to rest, and I had to rush on this dark night. Who could bear it?

They have never been treated like this before. They don't agree with anything, they shout that they must rest, and they are determined not to take a step forward.

Du Yun didn't know what to say about this, and said with a cold face, "I can't help it. We can't stay outside all the time. If you are willing to lie on the street all night, I have no problem. I will spend the night with you here."

One night."

Everyone was helpless. Of course they couldn't stay outside. Although their families had not been well-off since they were young, they were not at the stage of living on the streets.

What's that?

They had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree, dragging their exhausted bodies back to the village.

As for what they are thinking, that is another matter. No one wants to rush in the middle of the night.

Isn't there nothing he can do now?

Everyone gritted their teeth and felt tired, groping hard on the mountain road, hoping to reach Shuangshui Village Hotel to rest as soon as possible.

In the current situation, unless they reach Shuangshui Village, they will have no choice but to sleep on the streets. They know which one is more suitable.

They soon arrived at the Jar Village, and then walked forward. They were very happy to look around, at least they could see the hope of arriving.

Finally, they no longer have to keep walking forward when they reach a place. Now they only need to reach Shuangshui Village in front and can rest there.

Du Yun has made some calculations, and it stands to reason that he should arrive soon after dark.

They are just educated youths. You also know that they are all a group of guys who are indifferent to their limbs and grains. Their walking speed is naturally slower than that of the villagers, and their endurance is incomparable.

The villagers could walk the seventy miles in one breath, but they rested several times, which was incomparable.

Du Yun yawned helplessly and carefully looked at the road ahead, for fear of something going wrong.
