Zhou Xiangyang, who stayed in the hospital for one day, finally had his fever subsided on the second day. However, he still looked very weak, and he would definitely not be able to follow everyone on the road tomorrow.
Therefore, Li Jianren simply asked Zhou Tao to continue to accompany Zhou Xiangyang in the guest house. Under the leadership of Yuan Tianxiang, Li Jianren embarked on a new trip with Lao Chen and others.

An off-road vehicle and a group of 5 people left the county and started heading towards the goal.
1. In the beginning, the road was relatively smooth and spacious. After driving about 56 kilometers away from the county town, the road began to become bumpy and bumpy. From the initial driving speed of 60 yards, it can now only be controlled within 40 yards.
These are all pretty good, but the key point is that it used to be an asphalt road, but now it has completely turned into a dirt road. Occasionally, there is a big hole, and if you can't avoid it, you will almost fly up.
This is still the case when an off-road vehicle has good performance. If you really drive a car with a relatively low chassis, the chassis may be scratched.
The mountains in the distance gradually became clearer. They were lush and green, and the scenery was extremely beautiful. If the road hadn't been difficult, Li Jianren would have had the leisure and elegance to enjoy it.
It's a pity that even his physique is a bit overwhelmed, so how can he still have that leisure time.
"Mr. Li, if we drive another two or three kilometers, the car will no longer be able to drive. We can only walk there. I see that the hillside is relatively steep, and it will be difficult for the car to drive up it. And the road over there is very narrow.
, one careless wheel may tilt into the ditch."
Yuan Tianxiang pointed to the hillside not far away and introduced the situation there to Li Jianren.
"The Langtou Township we are going to is in that mountain valley, and there is only one road to go. There are about 5 or 6 kilometers of hillside roads. You need to climb over it to see over there."
5 or 6 kilometers may not sound very long. But this is a hilly road, and the road is narrow and uneven. It will probably take less than two hours to climb over it.

Now that we have come this far, there is no reason to retreat.
Li Jianren took a deep breath and said to Liu Quan who was driving: "Drive over there, find a place to park over there, and then we can walk over there."
"Mr. Li, actually riding a motorcycle is more suitable for this kind of road. When people in their hometown go out, they either walk by themselves or ride a motorcycle. However, after all, there are only a few families with motorcycles." Yuan Tianxiang continued to introduce.
The situation here.
Five minutes later, the car finally stopped. Li Jianren also opened the door and got out of the car. At the same time, he also looked at the hillside road that looked like a trail.
"Director Yuan, why doesn't the county repair the road here? It's only 56 kilometers. Logically speaking, it doesn't cost much. I don't think the county doesn't even have this kind of money!" Li Jianren proposed.
doubts.
"Mr. Li, I don't know how many times I have reported to Langtou Township that they want to build this road, but they have always asked me to wait. As for the reason, it is very straightforward. There are at least 78 such roads in the entire county.
Everyone is thinking about building roads.
But with only a small amount of financial funds, we can only leave other roads to be built for you. Each township will definitely not be happy. Everyone wants to build their own side first, but as a result, every meeting has to be held for this road construction matter.
Noisy for a long time.
Their village has also calculated that if this road is repaired, it will be a road that can be connected to cars, and the high hillsides will also have to be leveled, otherwise it will be too steep and accidents will happen easily. Calculated in this way, everything will be done.
At least 5 million is needed.”
Li Jianren understands what Yuan Tianxiang means. For some counties, 5 million is really nothing. But for a poor area like Yixian, it is a big expense. What's more, there are many such roads.
.To repair them all, it will cost at least 340 million.
If Yi County can squeeze out 340 million in funds, then it cannot be called a poor county. Therefore, this matter is really a problem for them.
Li Jianren didn't say much, but silently remembered it in his heart.
If you want to be rich, you must first build a road. If the people of Langtou Township want to get out, this road must be renovated. Otherwise, it will take several hours to get out of the township, so how can we develop the economy.
Everyone cleared their cars and walked around without any luggage. Only Liu Quan was carrying a large bag filled with cash.
Looking at the winding road ahead, Li Jianren waved his hand and shouted: Let's go! Then he took the lead and walked towards the front, as if he wanted to go all the way.
Yuan Tianxiang, who was following behind, wanted to stop him, but shook his head and said nothing.
Such a road cannot be completed in one go. You need to take your time and walk one step at a time. Like Li Jianren, if you walk two or three miles at most, you will start to have back pain.
I can't bear it anymore.
However, if he hadn't been given a try, he would have thought it was so light. Therefore, Yuan Tianxiang didn't say much, but slowly followed behind, hanging from a distance.
Lao Chen and the other three people quickly followed. This kind of road was nothing to them. When they were soldiers, a training session was dozens of kilometers away. But here it is not even close.
5 kilometers is just child's play.
Sure enough, after walking for nearly half an hour, Li Jianren began to put his hands on his hips and slowed down. Yuan Tianxiang gradually caught up and followed Li Jianren.
Li Jianren was a little embarrassed. He was still a young man after all, but he couldn't compare to a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old. This made him feel embarrassed.
p
So he gritted his teeth and increased his speed again. Unfortunately, after walking less than 500 meters, he couldn't hold on anymore. He was so tired that he bent over and gasped for air.
The clothes on his body were already wet, and the sweat on his forehead began to drip down. He quickly opened the bottle cap of the mineral water in his hand and took a few sips to suppress the heat in his heart.
"Mr. Li, you can't pursue speed on this kind of mountain road. You have to take your time, otherwise you won't have the energy to meet." Yuan Tianxiang, who followed, finally began to persuade.
Li Jianren didn't answer his words, mainly because his chest was still heaving and he really didn't have the energy to answer him.
He looked up and found that he hadn't even finished half of the way, but it had already taken him nearly 40 minutes.
At this speed, plus the downhill climb, it is estimated that it will really take two or three hours to cross this hillside. At this time, Li Jianren truly realized how hard it was for the people of Langtou Township to make the trip.
Li Jianren stood there and did not continue walking. He planned to take a short rest before continuing.
"Director Yuan, what do they mainly rely on in Langtou Township?"
Yuan Tianxiang saw that Li Jianren was not moving, so he also stopped.
"As the saying goes, you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and you rely on the water to eat the water. Langtou Township is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Most of the villagers rely on the herbs, fungi and wood on the mountains to survive. Of course, some people grow them at home.
Land. And those with connections went out to work.
Including our provincial capital, there are some people from Langtou Township there, who mainly do physical work. This township only produces two or three college students a year, so there is nothing to hope for."
"So are there any enterprises or the like in the village?" Li Jianren asked again.
"There are no enterprises. There is only a wood processing factory and a purchasing station that specializes in purchasing medicinal materials and mushrooms. Of course, sometimes there are a lot of game, especially hares and wild boars. Here
Quite a lot. If you're lucky today, I'll treat you to fresh roasted hare."
Yuan Tianxiang was cheerful, as if thinking of the delicious food, he couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Li Jianren looked at Yuan Tianxiang's happy appearance and felt a little moved by his open-mindedness.
"Okay, Director Yuan, you are here to treat us to lunch today. We are just waiting for your hare to be barbecued. If the taste is not authentic, we will have to settle the score with you! Let's go, let's move on.
!”
After taking a short rest, Li Jianren took steps again and walked uphill.
This time he learned a lot and no longer blindly pursued speed, but followed Yuan Tianxiang and walked forward slowly and step by step.
What's more, I did save a lot of effort than before. Although I walked slowly, I no longer felt tired.
