Chapter 916: A Silver Lining

The mountain wind is wild and the mountain rain is majestic.

In such wind and rain, a bus flies between the mountains.

Like a young dragon, breaking through the rain.

In the car, Tian Zhaofeng, who had parked the off-road vehicle, lay on the window with his mouth open and looked out. Even if he got in the car himself, he still had an expression of disbelief, and murmured: "How can this fly? ? How can this fly?"

There is no propeller, no propeller, not even an ignition light, as if there is a void force firmly holding it in the air, Tian Zhaofeng only thinks it is absurd.

To be honest, right now Tian Zhaofeng suspects that this is a hallucination of death.

It is said that before death, people will have hallucinations, maybe they are actually falling from the top of the mountain right now.

Zhao Gaofeng smiled: "Don't talk about you, even I don't understand, what Mr. Nan is tinkering with now..."

What Nan Ming is now tinkering with is really a bit of black technology.

If Tian Zhaofeng can disassemble the engine of this car, he will definitely see that there is a watermelon-sized reactor at the engine position, which is the nuclear fusion device after miniaturization.

At the bottom of the vehicle body, sixteen microwave propulsion devices not much larger than the thermos pot were installed, allowing the car to fly smoothly close to the ground.

The first beneficiaries of nuclear fusion + microwave propulsion are Dabai and Xiaobai, and the real experimental device is this bus.

Among Nanming's cars, the previous Alpha was already the most comfortable.

If changing a car, the comfort level did not improve, or decreased instead, Nan Ming would rather bear the infamy and not change.

There are also some stretched limousines or customized luxury cars that are more comfortable, but these cars are usually too flamboyant and high-profile, and they don't meet Nanming's needs.

In the end, Nan Ming chose his new car, which is this lazy car.

The appearance is like a bus that can be seen everywhere, and it is not conspicuous anywhere, but the interior space is much more spacious and comfortable.

And precisely because of this car, Nan Ming decided to come to such a poor place, because for him, any terrain is like walking on flat ground.

However, the two people they were looking for did not go well.

The young hitchhiker named Zhao Zhuang volunteered to be a guide, and soon found a student named Wang Xiaowen among them.

Zhao Zhuang is actually Wang Xiaowen's classmate, and students from several nearby villages know each other. Although they have Chinese names, they are actually Yi people. Zhao Zhuang's name was given by a teacher when he was a child.

The caravan rose vertically, climbed hundreds of meters high, and almost 70-degree angle of the cliff, and under the cover of the rain, it stopped at the edge of the cliff.

Nan Ming and the others put on raincoats and entered the village on the cliff in the pouring rain.

Zhao Zhuang said that most of the Yi people in the vicinity live on such terraces or mountaintops, and almost all the cultivated land is on the cliffs.

Therefore, Nan Ming already had psychological expectations for this village, but Nan Ming and the others were still shocked when they saw Wang Xiaowen's home.

The courtyard wall has long since collapsed, and half of the people living in the small house are livestock and half are people. This kind of mixed living situation of humans and animals still exists.

There was nothing in the whole house, not even a stool, and it was full of the smell of livestock.

In one corner of the room was a basket of potatoes, their staple food.

Wang Xiaowen was still wearing white silk, it was obvious that someone in his family had just passed away.

Wang Xiaowen's two older brothers looked numb. Seeing them, Tian Zhaofeng guarded Nan Ming behind him as if facing a big enemy.

Under Zhao Gaofeng's guidance, Nan Ming saw the needle holes on their arms.

Nan Ming knew that drugs and AIDS were rampant in this land, but he did not expect that Wang Xiaowen lived in such an environment.

Tian Zhaofeng glanced at Zhao Gaofeng, the meaning was obvious, if you knew this was where you were going, would you still let Mr. Nan come?

Zhao Gaofeng did have some regrets, but since Nan Ming came, he would not leave easily.

Knowing the reason for Nanming and the others, Wang Xiaowen was shocked. He didn't expect that a private college he applied for at random would actually find this place himself.

Wang Xiaowen's father had just passed away, and he had been busy with his father's funeral during this time, and he didn't even know about the re-examination at Lazy Seminary. None of Wang Xiaowen's family members could speak Chinese. After learning about Nan Ming's intentions, they still showed grateful smiles and tried to prepare something, but Nan Ming declined, and took out the prepared materials and asked Wang Xiaowen to do the questions.

After asking him to finish the test questions on the spot, Nan Ming sighed softly. This Wang Xiaowen's grades did not meet the admission standards of Lazy Seminary.

Nanming and the others came here only for the most basic fairness. Even if the chance is one in a million, it is still an opportunity to change fate. If Nan Ming and the others didn't come, Wang Xiaowen wouldn't even have this one in a million chance.

Wang Xiaowen probably also knew that he had no chance, and never forced it, but was very grateful.

Maybe it's because of his daily living environment that he doesn't have much kindness, but once he encountered such kindness, he was very impressed.

Putting away the test paper, Nan Ming asked Wang Xiaowen, "What are you going to do next?"

With Wang Xiaowen's grades, even if he passed the re-examination, his grades were far from the standard for entering Lazy Seminary.

"I plan to go to Changxi to work as a security guard." Wang Xiaowen said.

There are not many capable jobs for young Yi people. Coal mining in Shanxi and cheap labor in Shenzhen are almost their only options.

However, some security companies like Yi youths. Most Yi youths who can go out and adapt to society are straightforward, serious and hardworking, and their salary expectations are lower than those of Han people.

Meeting is fate, even if he can't be admitted to Lazy Seminary, Nan Ming is considering whether to leave some money, at least to improve his life, and give him some traveling expenses to Changxi.

For a long time, Nanming's concept has been to help the disabled but not the poor, and to save the poor rather than the emergency.

But what he saw and heard this time really exceeded his bottom line, but Zhao Zhuang stopped him quietly.

Nan Ming was a little puzzled, Zhao Zhuang sneered in a low voice, "Boss, if you leave the money, I'm afraid it will be exchanged for drugs by his two brothers."

"Doesn't the government do anything?" Zhang Feilin felt a little ashamed and a little angry when he thought that his uncle was the leader in Zhao County, but under his rule, he saw so much poverty.

"Boss, you may think they are very pitiful, but do you know that the government has brought a lot of poverty alleviation projects every year. In the past two years, the government distributed several sheep to each family and taught them to graze in the mountains. As a result, these people He eats one a month, eats it up in a few months, and continues to be poor. His two older brothers are both AIDS carriers. Do you know why they are infected with AIDS? Because the AIDS country will pay for it! You think they are so poor ? The government subsidizes thousands of dollars every year, which is enough for them to live better, but they are all replaced by drugs.”

"Some people are poor because they live in a bad environment, and some people are poor because they deserve it." Zhao Zhuang smiled wryly, "Some people, you can't change them."

Nan Ming remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Are these people pitiful or hateful?

Chen Haocong took out a business card of his own and handed it to Wang Xiaowen, saying, "I may start a company in Changxi in a while, if you go down the mountain and can't find a job, come to me, at least I can give you something to eat."

In any case, after all, Wang Xiaowen is a person who wants to change his destiny, and he is brave enough to do it. Although he is not good enough, most of the people in this world are still mediocre. Nan Ming asked himself, if he was in such an environment, could he do better?

"Thank you, thank you boss." Wang Xiaowen was very grateful. Perhaps he felt that the business card Chen Haocong gave him was more precious than the qualifications of some lazy seminary.

But he didn't know what he missed.

The next step was to look for Chen Han. Zhao Zhuang still volunteered to be a guide. He took Chen Han's information from Chen Haocong and wondered, "This person is not Chen Han!"

"Huh?" Nan Ming was taken aback.

"Actually, Chen Han only came to our school a month or two before the college entrance examination. He is a Han, and he doesn't look like this...Xiaowen, do you have our graduation photo?"

"I'll get it!" Wang Xiaowen turned around and took out a graduation photo, pointing it to Nan Ming, "here, this is Chen Han."

Seeing that name, both Chen Haocong and Nan Ming were stunned.

He knows this person.

Li Huiyun.

Chen Han, surnamed Chen, first name Han.

Both Chen Haocong and Nan Ming knew Li Huiyun's feelings for Chen Wei. Perhaps in his mind, Chen Wei was more like his father, and Chen Wei hoped that he would become an upright man.

And Li Huiyun, under the pseudonym Chen Han, plucked up the courage to re-enter the school, intending to be admitted to Lazy Seminary.

Perhaps only in this way can he return to society openly, walk in front of Nanming again, and return to the world with Qi Minglai.

But then, where did he go?

"Ayun... Has he encountered any danger?" Chen Haocong asked worriedly.

He also had contact with this ill-fated peer.

If Wang Xiaowen's environment is very bad, Li Huiyun's situation may be even more difficult, but he still mustered up the courage to do so.

But why didn't he take the retest?

If something happened to Ah Yun, Chen Wei would be very sad, but the saddest one must be Qi Minglai.

Nan Ming thought of the boy who called him the boss, and felt quite emotional in his heart.

Ah Yun, Ah Yun, since you called me the boss, why didn't you come to me when you encountered a problem?

On the way to send Zhao Zhuang back, Nan Ming felt mixed feelings.

Today's encounter broke through what they thought and saw at the beginning, and it was almost unimaginable.

"Zhao Zhuang, are the people here so poor?" Nan Ming asked, "Isn't there anyone trying to change something?"

"When my brother went to work in Chuncheng two years ago, none of them could speak Chinese. Chuncheng is so big, so big. They have never seen such a big city with so many people. They are afraid that they will be separated, so they let their fellow villagers use Put yourself up on a rope and walk in a row. My brother said that when he saw everyone laughing at them and pointing at them, it was like watching a group of pigs. He said that he would never forget that feeling. No, he said that he must come back in a successful manner, and don’t let people criticize him like that again.”

"Where is your brother now?" Nan Ming asked, he was eager to know if Zhao Zhuang's brother changed his fate.

"In prison, I will be back in two years, just like my dad and my uncle."

Nan Ming didn't know what to say.

Can you jump out when the trajectory of everyone around you is going out to take drugs, sell drugs, be arrested, be forced to rehab, contract AIDS, go home and wait to die?

In this world, not everyone can resist fate and change the world.

Most people, not even themselves, can change.

"Is Great Liang really poor? No. We have a unique geographical environment and a very unique national culture. Alpine planting, alpine grazing, and national industries are actually promising. Although the transportation is inconvenient, the government has also demonstrated With enough support and determination, the ones who really closed this place are themselves."

"If it were you, what would you do?" Nan Ming asked.

"If I go out, I must work hard to make money, and then open a school in Chuncheng that is dedicated to helping our Yi children, teach them Chinese, teach them how to make money with their own hands, and teach them how to integrate into Han society. The hope of our people is not here, but outside. Only when our younger generation has enough knowledge and ability, can we change this place in reverse, because the closed force here is too stubborn and too strong. The adults here, all It sucks, there's only a baby and a glimmer of hope."

Nan Ming took a deep breath: "Student Zhao Zhuang, I wonder if you are interested in taking the re-examination of Lazy Seminary?"

"I?"

"Well, there is one more set of questions here anyway." (To be continued.)
