290: C290 The Hometown of His Comrades

C290 The Hometown of His Comrades

At noon, Ye Fei and his group ate in the county town. After lunch, they continued on their way.

Ye Fei asked Xie Haifeng in surprise, "Isn't Luo's Village only about a hundred kilometers away from Huhai? Why haven't we arrived after walking for an entire morning? I think you're driving pretty fast."

"Mr Fei, you're talking about a straight distance of more than a hundred kilometers. Although Luo's Village isn't very far, the road isn't very smooth. There's still a mountain road ahead. We'll arrive at about two or three o'clock in the afternoon."

Xie Haifeng said in front of them.

Soon, the van reached the mountain road. Tiehdan saw the scenery outside and his eyes gradually lit up. He pointed at the scenery outside the window and pointed at the familiar scenery for everyone.

Ye Fei looked out the window. He had not been to the countryside of Hua Country for a few years. From the scenery on the roadside, although they had entered the mountain area, however, the countryside was basically a two-story building. The courtyard was fed with chickens and ducks. Planting grapes, gourds, and other plants looked like a field. The fence in front of the door was covered with small yellow flowers. It had the taste of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan Hill."

The scenery was much more beautiful than the city. The air was clear. Ye Fei could not help taking a deep breath.

The only flaw in the beauty was that Ye Fei saw that there were only a few people in the countryside. Even if there were people, they were old people and children. Not to mention adult men, even adult women were rarely seen.

"Why are there so few people in the countryside now? Why can't I see the labor?"

Ye Fei asked curiously.

"All the young people have gone to work in the city. The only ones left are the children and elderly who stayed behind to guard the city."

Xie Haifeng replied casually.

"What about farming? If no one grows crops, won't the crops be cut down?"

Ye Fei continued to ask.

"How much is the grain now? One kilogram? Planting those things is not enough money. Nowadays, most of the land in the countryside is contracted to people. If someone planted it, they planted it. If no one planted it, then it would be desolate. In any case, our country doesn't lack food now. A few days ago, when I saw the news... Say... There's so much food in the granary that we can't put it down. "

Xie Haifeng seemed to have come from the countryside as well, so he was very familiar with the matters in the countryside.

" Oh."

Ye Fei answered and did not continue on this topic.

After entering the mountain, the road became more and more rugged. In the end, it was impossible for the narrow mountain road to even fit into a car.

But fortunately, there were no cars in the mountain. Although they walked a little slower, it was not a big deal.

Luo's Village was a very remote village and was also very poor. According to Tiehdan, although the village had electricity, there was still no tap water. If one wanted to eat water, they would need to use a water cart to pull water from the well.

Ye Fei was very surprised when he heard that.

However, Xie Haifeng waved his hand and said, "This is nothing. It is a village with a radius of a few hundred kilometers in Huhai. There are no truly poor people. You have never seen a truly poor place. That is a truly poor place. The village was extremely isolated. Just looking at it made one's heart ache. I don't want to go back for the rest of my life. "

Ye Fei couldn't help but think of Lau Manman. She came from a really poor place. He didn't know how poor her hometown was.

After walking for about an hour, the car stopped outside a village. Xie Haifeng said, "This is Luo's Village. It can't be wrong."

"You really know this place. It's really hard on you."

Ye Fei looked at Xie Haifeng.

"Back then, I came here with a friend to collect ancient goods."

Xie Haifeng did not elaborate and did not say it clearly.

The so-called collection of ancient goods he said was not really to collect things. He also came here with the grave robbers to investigate and see if there were ancient tombs or the like.

Ye Fei glanced at the village. Although he didn't know Feng Shui, his insight was amazing. He could already feel that there wasn't any outstanding aura in Luo's Village. He guessed that Xie Haifeng had run around for nothing.

Under the big pagoda tree at the entrance of the village, Ye Fei saw a child squatting and playing with stones.

This child was very beautiful. He had big eyes, curly hair, but his skin was a little dark. The clothes on his body were very tattered. At first glance, he looked like a foreign child.

Seeing Ye Fei and the others stop the car and walk over, the child raised his head and took a look. He looked very afraid of people and ran away quickly.

"What's wrong with this child?"

Ye Fei asked in surprise.

"This place is not poor, but I don't think the men in the village can get a wife. I think the mother bought the bride from Vietnam, which is why she gave birth to such a beautiful mixed-blood. There are a lot of things like this, I'm not surprised. "

Xie Haifeng said.

Ye Fei didn't say much and asked Tiehdan to lead the way home.

After entering the village, Ye Fei found that this Luo's Village was the same as the village he had encountered along the way. There were still some differences. There were very few young men in other villages, because they had all gone out to work. However, they could see a few young men swaying and wandering in the village. They sat under the wall and basked in the sun.

Their faces did not have much spirit. Their dark circles were very heavy, and they looked like they had not slept well.

Ye Fei didn't think too much about it. He followed Tiehdan to a two-story building.

This two-story building looked pretty good on the outside. The tiles and paint were all new. There was also a solar water heater on the second floor.

This building was built a few years ago by someone. Tiehdan's family used to be a well-off family in the village.

"Mom, Mom, I'm back!"

When Tiehdan returned home, his tears rolled down his face. He rushed home and shouted.

Ye Fei followed him into Tiehdan's house and found that the yard was not as bright as the outside. The yard was dirty. Chicken feces were everywhere. The weeds were very deep and full of a ruined smell.

Tiehdan rushed into the house and saw a man lying on the bed, sleeping.

That was his late father, Xu Jie. Tiehdan walked around the house and could not find his mother, Luo Feng, but his footsteps woke Xu Jie up.

Xu Jie opened his eyes and saw that Tiehdan had come back. He immediately sat up and scolded, "You little brat, why did you come back?"

"Where's my mother?"

Tiehdan didn't answer and waited for Xu Jie to ask.

"You dare to sneak back here? Are you going to kill our whole family?"

Xu Jie was a cripple. He immediately got off the bed, grabbed the walking stick beside the bed, and hit Tiehdan.

"Stop!"

Ye Fei walked in and took Xu Jie's walking stick away.

Xu Jie's body tilted and fell on the bed. He waited for Ye Fei to scold, "Who are you? I hit my own son. What does that have to do with you?"

"I am Tiger Head's comrade, Tiehdan's uncle. If you hit Tiehdan, of course I would care."

Ye Fei said coldly.

"Tiger Head's comrade? You are the one who called Luo Feng's money?"

Xu Jie's eyes became heated. He rubbed his hands together and said with a flattering smile, "Just nice. I had calculated that these two days would be the time to transfer money. I did not expect you to personally send it over. Sorry to trouble you."1

As he spoke, Xu Jie stretched out his hands. His meaning was very obvious. He wanted money.

Ye Fei had never seen such a shameless person. He wished he could kick Xu Jie away. But he still took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. "This money is not for you. It is for Tiehdan's mother, Luo Feng. Where is she? If you can't see Luo Feng, you won't get a single cent!"

" F * ck, my mother has gone out. I'll call her back right now! "

Xu Jie was stunned. His expression was a little awkward, but when he saw that Ye Fei was very determined, his eyeballs rolled around. He supported himself with the crutch and went out.
