The brakes had been repaired, but Youya was so frightened that she still didn't fully recover when she restarted the car.
Zhou Zichen called Wang Ziqi. Someone must have done something like this today. The first thing Zhou Zichen thought of was Li Yao or Guan Xiaowei.
Among the people Zhou Zichen has offended, these are the only two who are so capable. As for Han Xuwang, even if they wanted to, they would not dare to do such a thing because they have no way to finally resolve the consequences of these things.
.
When Wang Ziqi heard that Zhou Zichen encountered such a thing, he immediately became angry, shouted that he was going to investigate, and then hung up the phone on Zhou Zichen.
Wang Ziqi investigated very quickly and soon found out that Xu Huaming was actually involved.
Zhou Zichen had already left Jiangdong City when he learned the news, so he had to wait until he returned to settle the score with Xu Huaming.
The journey to Chuanzhou was a bit long, and Zhou Zichen was driving most of the way.
The original plan was to drive to the destination, but when we arrived in Sichuan, we discovered that it snows in winter, especially in the mountains, and the roads are too slippery to drive up.
After some discussion, the two decided to walk into the mountain.
The destination this time is Damang Mountain. In recent years, the country’s policies have been good and many villages living on the mountain have been relocated. However, some of them have not been relocated due to various reasons.
The mountain road is difficult to navigate, and people who have never been there can never imagine how people on the mountain usually go up and down the mountain.
"How far is it?" Zhou Zichen looked at the sky, which was almost getting dark. It gets dark early in winter, and now it's past five o'clock, and the sky has already started to get dark.
Youya was a little out of breath. Although Zhou Zichen carried most of the things on his back, the long climb was still too much for Youya, who had been living in the city.
"It will take another two or three hours to get there." You Ya was also a little anxious. It would be dark in an hour at most. Although they had prepared flashlights, it would be difficult to walk this way after dark.
What scares Youya the most is that there are mountains everywhere, and after dark it is even harder to see your fingers. It is inevitable for girls to be afraid of the dark.
Seeing that You Ya was very tired, Zhou Zichen said, "We won't be able to make it before dark anyway. Let's take a rest first. It doesn't matter if we walk slowly."
You Ya knew that Zhou Zichen was worried about her, and she couldn't help but feel a little sweetness in her heart. Along the way, Zhou Zichen had taken care of You Ya in every possible way, and You Ya hardly had to worry too much.
In the past, Youya took good care of herself when she was out. She never asked anyone to take care of her. Even when walking on mountain roads, she was no worse than ordinary men.
But with Zhou Zichen, Youya might be able to do many things by herself, but Zhou Zichen took care of her and did most of the hard work. The mental comfort was more profound for Youya than the physical one.
"Okay!" Perhaps because she was used to listening to Zhou Zichen's arrangements along the way, Youya agreed immediately.
Everything on the ground was wet, so Zhou Zichen prepared a piece of waterproof cloth and kept it in front of the strap, carrying it in a small bag.
Zhou Zichen found a slightly cleaner place and spread the cloth: "Sit down for a while and take a rest. We will continue on our way."
The two of them rested for four or five minutes. You Ya looked at the sky and said, "Let's keep walking! It will be hard to rush when it gets dark."
"Okay!" Zhou Zichen saw that Youya had almost rested. He stood up and put on his backpack. Most of it contained gifts for the villagers. Although there were only about 20 households on the mountain, many young people went out to work.
, there are only a few dozen people in total, but each person prepares a small gift worth dozens of points, which still has some weight.
Youya also carried her backpack. Most of her bag contained some clothes. It was much lighter than Zhou Zichen's backpack, but it still weighed more than ten kilograms.
Zhou Zichen asked You Ya to go ahead. It was getting dark. These days, Zhou Zichen also knew that You Ya was afraid of the dark and was always afraid of something behind her. Walking behind her could also make You Ya feel more at ease.
The slippery ground made the two people move slower and slower. Every step must be taken cautiously. If you are not careful, you may fall.
"Slow down, don't slip!" Zhou Zichen looked at Youya who was walking quickly in front of him and reminded her.
Youya turned back and said with a smile: "Although my physical strength is not as good as yours, the mountain road I walked...ah..."
Just in the middle of Yuya's words, her feet slipped and she fell backwards, and she couldn't help but let out a scream.
Zhou Zichen rushed forward and grabbed you, just in time to grab the clothes on Youya's chest: "Are you okay?"
Zhou Zichen helped You Ya well.
"It's okay!" You Ya said and glanced at Zhou Zichen's hand grabbing her chest. Although he wore more clothes in winter, Zhou Zichen's force was not small, and he even pulled down his inner clothes.
Zhou Zichen let go of his hand: "As long as it's okay!"
But Zhou Zichen's hand just let go, and You Ya frowned, as if she was in pain, couldn't stand still, and rushed towards Zhou Ci.
Zhou Zichen quickly hugged You Ya again: "What's wrong? Is your foot hurt?"
"It seems so!" Youya was held in Zhou Zichen's arms and wanted to stand up, but the bursts of pain in his feet prevented him from standing up, so he had to put his arm around Zhou Zichen's shoulders and lean on Zhou Zichen's arms.
"You hold my back, and I'll look at your feet!" Zhou Zichen said and bent down, and You Ya held Zhou Zichen's back.
Zhou Zichen pulled up Youya's trousers and found that Youya's ankles were now swollen, and she would definitely be unable to walk. He didn't know how to set bones: "Your feet are swollen. If you continue to walk, it will definitely get worse. I can't carry it anymore."
you."
Zhou Zichen stood up as he spoke, hung his backpack on his chest, and then squatted down: "Come on, come up."
You Ya was a little worried about Zhou Zichen, but now that she couldn't walk, she couldn't help but blame herself: "It's all my fault."
"How can I blame you? The road is indeed too slippery!"
Zhou Zichen took off his scarf and handed it to You Ya: "Bring an extra one so you don't get cold when you walk. If you don't exercise later, you won't catch a cold."
You Ya took the scarf and looked at the cold breath that kept coming out of Zhou Zichen's mouth. She couldn't help but feel heartache: "How about we find a place to rest here for the night?"
Zhou Zichen didn't care, but even if Zhou Zichen could bear it, You Ya couldn't bear resting for a night in this barren mountain. They didn't bring a tent.
"We'd better rush to the village first. We don't have anything to keep warm and it's easy to catch a cold!" Zhou Zichen carried You Ya on his back and continued moving forward.
You Ya lay on Zhou Zichen's back and looked at Zhou Zichen's back. Although it was just an ordinary back, in You Ya's eyes at this moment, Zhou Zichen's back looked unusually tall. The hand holding Zhou Zichen's neck
I couldn't help but tighten it.
Although Zhou Zichen was carrying a heavy load, You Ya and all the bags together weighed more than two hundred kilograms, but when he arrived at the village, he arrived at the village an hour faster than originally planned.
All the people in the village gathered together. The village chief had already received a call from You Ya, so he had been waiting for the two people. When Zhou Zhi arrived, the village chief and his people were ready to come.
"Reporter You, there is something I haven't told you. Aunt Wang left and treated more than 300,000 yuan. She didn't pay a penny. Two days before she left, she gave the kindhearted person who helped him treat his illness an injection.
I made a phone call and insisted on being discharged from the hospital. I left on my own bed. I always wanted to see you before I left.
But she didn't let us tell you the news about her." The village chief is Wang Shixun, a middle-aged man in his forties who originally worked outside. Later, he felt that there were too many old people in the village and all the young people had gone out.
He came back with his wife and children and became the village chief. He was also able to take care of the elderly in the village.
When Youya heard Wang Shixun's words, she was stunned and her eyes were a little red: "When did it happen?"
"It was buried on the mountain behind a month ago," Wang Shixun said.
"I'm going to see her old man tomorrow." Youya said and looked at the dark back hill.
Aunt Wang is a widow in the village with a daughter, but her daughter's family conditions are not good, so she doesn't want to trouble her daughter, so she lives alone in the village.
A year ago, I suddenly suffered from severe stomach pain. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that it was stomach cancer.
Given the conditions in Aunt Wang's family, the cost of a hospital check-up was heartbreaking, and even less money for medical treatment.
Aunt Wang's daughter was hiding outside the hospital crying, trying to raise money. She happened to be seen by You Ya, who came to Sichuan to interview the medical situation. After a few words of comfort, she learned about Aunt Wang's situation, so she reported it.
Later, a wealthy businessman saw the news and was willing to pay for Aunt Wang's medical treatment.
Because of this incident, Youya also started to get in touch with this village, and the column she worked on also started from this village.
Wang Shixun led the two of them to his home, which was a two-story red brick house.
Wang Shixun's wife had already prepared the meal and had not touched her chopsticks. When Zhou Zichen came in, she was still reheating the food.
"You haven't eaten yet. We originally thought you would arrive at five or six o'clock. The food is already cold. Let's warm it up and eat it. I'll call the doctor in the village for you." Wang Shixun said to the two of them.
I poured two cups of boiling water and rushed to find a doctor. Youya’s foot injury had to be treated.
After Wang Shixun left, he told Zhou Zichen about the situation in the village.
This village is called Xiaogang Village, and the people here are all surnamed Wang. It is rumored that this village is descended from a group of tombkeepers, but this is also a legend. There are mountains behind it, and no one has seen any big tombs.
This village has not been moved. The main reason is that it cannot move up or down. There are many villages like Xiaogang Village in Sichuan Province. There are also some villages with more difficult conditions than Xiaogang Village. There are not even roads. The move has not been completed. At least there are still some villages here.
There is a dirt road up here, so if Xiaogang Village wants to relocate the whole village, it will take at least several years or even more than ten years.
The most serious problem in Xiaogang Village is that there are many elderly people left behind. It is inconvenient to do anything in the mountains. The young people have gone out to work. The elderly people cannot go out to catch a market. They have to start walking in the morning.
, having to come back late at night is unbearable for young people, let alone the elderly, so there are several elderly people in the village who have not been down the mountain for several years.
Zhou Zichen was also sighing after hearing this. He really didn't know the difficulties here unless he had seen it with his own eyes.
