Chapter 243 Seeing a mountain is not a mountain

After the car started, Zhao He took a look at the navigation and suddenly felt a little numb.

"Master Chen, it takes seven hours to drive from here to Dahuai Village?"

“Is there no high-speed rail or train or something like that?”

Zhao He's words made Chen Hai laugh.

"Look at what you said, Mr. Zhao. We are going to a designated poverty alleviation village."

"Do you know what a designated poverty alleviation village is?"

“It’s the poorest and most remote place in our country.”

"The road to their village was only repaired last year. Otherwise, we couldn't drive directly there and would have to walk along a mountain road."

Upon hearing what Chen Hai said, Zhao He immediately shut up with a complicated expression.

Netizens in the live broadcast room immediately started discussing.

“Just listening to the introduction, I can feel the intensity rising.”

"What this uncle said is very true. We city people are used to taking high-speed trains, so we think there are high-speed trains everywhere. But in fact, there are not many cities with high-speed trains, let alone those remote villages. It's good to have a road at all."

"I come from the mountains. It took us more than two hours to walk from the village to school. The roads were all mountainous. There were no shortcuts or transportation. We had to walk."

"To get rich, you must first build roads. I can only say that our leaders have a longer-term vision than we do."

At this time, Xu Wen and Zhao He finally realized that the rural area they were visiting this time might be different from what they had imagined.

But Chen Hai is a taciturn person and won't take the initiative to find topics to talk about.

Generally, he would answer every question you asked, so you could hardly get any useful information from him.

Because they got up too early, Xu Wen and Zhao He soon fell asleep in their seats.

However, the seats of this Jinbei van obviously cannot be laid flat, so the two of them could only sleep with their heads half leaning against the window.

But they will not sleep well like this, after all, people's heads are not completely in contact with the car window glass, so when they go over speed bumps or somewhere else, the bump will lift their heads up first and then hit the glass heavily.

Although this is not painful, it will still wake people up from their sleep.

Xu Wen and Zhao He were so sleepy that even after being woken up many times, they would not open their eyes. Instead, they quickly adjusted their state and fell asleep again.

When netizens in the live broadcast room saw this scene, they started to complain.

"They can even fall asleep like this. I really admire them."

"Xu Gou's sleep quality has always been good, please don't doubt Xu Gou's ability to sleep."

"Let them sleep a little longer. Anyway, they probably won't have time to sleep when we get there."

"Their current state reminds me of when I was in college and I used to take this kind of van from one city to another. It's really nostalgic."

"It seems that these two people will have to recall the past in the next few days."

Just as netizens were speculating like this, the car suddenly jolted violently.

The two men's heads first suddenly lifted up, and then slammed heavily on the glass window!
This time the glass window made a loud noise, which scared Chen Hai who was driving.

However, Chen Hai was experienced, and as soon as he saw the postures of the two people, he knew what had just happened.

Chen Hai said with a smile: "Two leaders, why don't you hold on for a while, we will be there soon."

"Even if you really want to sleep, don't lean your heads against the glass window. If the car window is broken by you, we won't be able to continue on the road."

The two of them were also awakened by the collision just now.

After hearing what Chen Hai said, the two rubbed their heads and did not continue to sleep.

They looked out the window, took in the scenery on both sides of the road, and couldn't help laughing.

Xu Wen was even more inspired to write poetry and began to recite it aloud.

"I see how charming the green mountains are, and the green mountains should see me the same way! What a beautiful poem!"

Netizens in the live broadcast room were speechless. With Xu Wen's expression, those who didn't know him would think it was a poem he wrote.

Chen Hai, who was driving, had a cigarette in his mouth and laughed.

“Leaders are leaders, they have culture.”

"We are different. When we see the mountains and water, we are not in such a good mood."

Zhao He asked doubtfully, "Why? The environment here is so good, shouldn't you be happy?"

Living in a place like this, where the air is fresh, I think it can prolong your life, right?

"Longer life?"

Chen Hai was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.

"It's useless to extend your life."

"It is because of these mountains and waters that the people in the village die early."

When talking about things he was familiar with, Chen Hai immediately opened up.

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about Dahuai Village."

"More than twenty people have died in the past five years."

"Some died of fever, some were bitten by poisonous snakes, some drowned in rivers, and some fell into cesspools and drowned."

"You city people may not see these mountains and waters very often, so you may find them strange."

"But rural people like us have to deal with them every day, and we really love and fear them at the same time."

After hearing what Chen Hai said, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

I don’t know when it started, but whenever city people talk about mountains and rivers, the first thing they think of is whether the scenery is good or not.

But that’s not what rural people think about.

What they were thinking about was whether the road was easy to travel on, whether there were any poisonous snakes on the mountain, the flow of the river, and whether flash floods would occur if it rained.

Why is it that the first thought of every person in remote areas is to get out of the mountains?

Actually, it’s because of this reason.

Nothing is convenient in the mountains.

There is almost no transportation, water, electricity, communications, medical care, or commerce.

Who would want to stay in a place like this?
As we were talking, the road ahead changed from a flat concrete road to a bumpy gravel road.

The van suddenly shook violently.

The photographer couldn't even stabilize the lens, and the entire live broadcast screen was shaking.

The barrage in the live broadcast room instantly filled the screen.

"Oh my god, this photographer is not good enough, buy him a gimbal!"

"Oh my god, this live broadcast is almost making me vomit, I can't watch it at all."

"Very good, very real, I, who was watching the live broadcast, actually got motion sickness."

Even netizens couldn't stand this level of shaking, let alone Zhao He and Zheng Yue who were sitting in the car.

Both of them were typical city people, and after a while their faces began to turn pale and they felt like vomiting.

Xu Wen found that the two were about to vomit, and quickly said to Chen Hai: "Old Chen, stop the car and let them vomit."

Chen Hai said "oh" and quickly stopped the car.

As soon as the car stopped, the two men and the photographer opened the door and started vomiting violently on the side of the road.
