  Chapter 23 Road collapsed

  When Jiang Xiaobai woke up, he felt his head dizzy, and there was no strength on his body. It was obviously summer in July or August, and he actually felt a little cold on his body.

   "Water." Jiang Xiaobai felt his throat hoarse as soon as he opened his mouth.

  "Xiaobai...comrade Xiaobai, you are awake." Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's voice, Li Siyan spoke in a choked voice, with a happy face.

   "Water, get me some water to drink." Jiang Xiaobai tried to sit up while supporting her body, but fell on the bed again.

   "Don't move and lie down, I'll get you water." Li Siyan hurriedly helped Jiang Xiaobai to sit down, and then went out to pour Jiang Xiaobai some water.

  Jiang Xiaobai held the white porcelain jar and drank the tea jar for half of it, only then did he feel better, and then he had the energy to focus outside the window.

   "When is this, and how long have I slept?" Jiang Xiaobai asked, shaking his head in confusion.

   "It's 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and you have slept for 12 hours." Li Siyan was also a little hoarse, not as sweet as before.

   "For so long, help me get up and see, how are we all? We are all in the rain, are there any sicknesses after we come back?" Jiang Xiaobai said that he was about to get up from the bed, and Li Siyan hurried over to help.

   "Except for you, the big guys are fine. After sleeping all morning, everyone went out to work in the afternoon."

  Li Siyan put another dress on Jiang Xiaobai, and Li Siyan helped Jiang Xiaobai out.

   Jiang Xiaobai's face turned red, well, his feelings are in bad health.

  I opened the door and saw noisy in the yard, and saw Li Siyan helping Jiang Xiaobai come out of the house, and everyone immediately surrounded him.

   "Brother Xiaobai, you are awake."

  "Brother Xiaobai, how are you doing?"

  "Brother Xiaobai, have you taken any medicine?" said each and every one of them.

   "Well, I'm fine. I simmered the meat tonight, opened two bottles of wine, and called everyone who helped me last night. The big guy has a good meal."

  When I was so helpful last night, I couldn’t say that I didn’t.

   "Okay." Wang Xiaojun responded, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai hesitantly and said, "There is one more thing."

Seeing Wang Xiaojun’s face, Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said: "Okay, come in and say, other people should prepare to cook and cook; they should go and invite people, remember that they must all be here. If you don’t come, give your name. Write it down, and deliver a copy when the dish is ready."

  At this time, the countryside is poor, and many people have the habit of giving each other food.

   "Okay, Brother Xiaobai." Zhang Yanmei responded and led people to cook, and Wang Xiaojun followed Jiang Xiaobai and Li Siyan back to the house.

   Originally, Wang Xiaojun wanted to support Jiang Xiaobai by himself, but seeing Li Siyan next to him, he did not reach out.

  "Take the medicine first, and discuss the matter after the medicine is finished." After entering the house, Jiang Xiaobai said before Li Siyan spoke.

After taking the medicine, Li Siyan went out.

   "Did something happen?" Jiang Xiaobai asked, looking at Wang Xiaojun's somewhat gloomy face.

   "Well, it rained heavily last night, and Taoshan's road collapsed after going to the village." Wang Xiaojun nodded and said in a deep voice.

   "What's the matter?" Jiang Xiaobai was also taken aback. He sat upright after sitting on the bed.

   "There is only one road to Taoshan behind our village. It was a road that was opened a long time ago, but in recent years there have been very few people who have gone to the back mountain. There is no one to repair slowly, and the road conditions are naturally bad..."

  Jiang Xiaobai listened carefully. He has never been to Houshan. He just heard people say that there is a road to Houshan. Later, when the city youth went to build the road, he did not go.

  Naturally did not understand the actual situation of the road. Yesterday it was rainy. On the way back, he was worried that the road back to the village would collapse, but he did not expect that the road to the back mountain would collapse.

  And now I heard Wang Xiaojun say that it should be difficult to repair. If the road can be repaired by a simple leveling, Wang Xiaojun would not be so solemn.

  When I went out just now, I heard the noise in the yard, as if to mention some road. I thought they were chatting, but I didn’t expect that the road to Taoshan behind the village had collapsed.

"The road from Hongtupo to Zhaipo is a stone-paved trail. It turns out that when we repaired the road to Taoshan, this section of the road was mainly flattened. This section of the road was originally narrow. This time, we cut a section of the road in the afternoon. It collapsed directly, leaving only a small intestine path on the side of the mountain to pass through."

  Wang Xiaojun said dullly, this Taoshan is the raw material for their canned yellow peaches. If you can't go to Taoshan, the canning industry needs to stop.

   But if it is to build a road, it will take at least a month for them, and if you drag it for a month and a half, I don’t know how much things will be delayed.

  Moreover, many mature yellow peaches on the mountain will also go bad.

   "Well, can we repair the road? Do you need any equipment, is it dangerous?" Jiang Xiaobai thought for a while and asked.

   "If you build a road, you don't need any equipment, we can repair the road, but if we people repair it, it will take too long," Wang Xiaojun paused and said again.

  "As for the danger? It must be there. The road up to Taoshan is the steep road from Huangtupo to Zhaipo, and now there is only a sheep intestine trail..."

   "Are there any other roads?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.

   "There is no other road, there is only one road." Wang Xiaojun said. When the road up the mountain was leveled, he also went to see it, so he knew everything.

   "Let's do it, while it's still early, let's go up the mountain and you take me to see." Jiang Xiaobai forced to get off the bed and said firmly.

  Wang Xiaojun wanted to persuade, but looked at Jiang Xiaobai’s appearance but did not say anything. Everyone of them now counts on canned yellow peaches.

   "I'll go too, I'll accompany you little white brother." Wang Chao doesn't know how to cook, he is not familiar with the village, and has nothing to do.

  So when he saw Jiang Xiaobai coming out, he hurriedly followed. The others were busy and didn't notice the disappearance of the three.

   "Brother Xiaobai, or I will carry you on my back." Liu Aiguo said, looking at Jiang Xiaobai's weakness.

   "No, my body is vacant. It's fine if I sweat during activities." Jiang Xiaobai also felt a little energetic as he walked.

  The three of them walked along the back of the village towards Taoshan.

  It should be said that the straight-line distance from Taoshan to the village is not too far, but there are many slopes and steep roads to go up the mountain, which makes it particularly hard to walk.

  At this time, the youth courtyard was already lively.

  I have long heard that urban youths have very good food. They have wine and meat for every meal. Now urban youths invite to eat. Of the 20 villagers who helped yesterday, none of them did not come.
