Chapter 188 Slums

What He Xiaoxi really focused on was not this.

It is certainly not out of bad intentions for the Lu family to set up eyes and ears in the West Village.He Xiaoxi can be sure of this, otherwise Lu Youcai wouldn't know, and wouldn't tell anyone if he knew.

He Xiaoxi still has confidence in the character and family style of the Lu family.

She just remembered the friendship between her and the Liu family in her previous life.Her friendship with the Liu family began when she never left Shuidong Village.

Unlike other villagers, the Liu family showed extraordinary kindness towards her.Especially Mrs. Xinlin, the fourth daughter-in-law of the Liu family, has always taken good care of her without asking for anything in return.

Even if she went to a neighboring city later, she still often received help from them.

After reliving the whole life, looking back, I saw the abnormality.

He Xiaoxi stared at Lu Youcai, did this person ask Aunt Xinlin to take care of their mother and child?

probably.

In this world, even biological parents can't give unconditionally to their children, let alone neighbors?
At that time, the eldest brother of the Lu family was no longer there, and the uncle of the Lu family was criticized because of the composition of her natal family, and she and the uncle of the Lu family passed away one after another.

Mrs. Lu was suddenly hit by the loss of her spouse and son, and she was suppressed by Yan's mother and daughter. She guarded her daughter and lived alone.

The resources of the Lu family should only be available to this person at that time.It should be this person who will tell the Liu family to take care of him.

Being stared at by He Xiaoxi blankly, Lu Youcai was very shy.

His face flushed red, and his eyes blinked non-stop.Scratching his ears and cheeks, he looked like a little monkey.

He Xiaoxi laughed out loud at his appearance.Rubbing his nose and turning his gaze to the side.

Lu Youcai's purpose is to make people happy, and it doesn't matter why they are happy.If letting him pretend to be a monkey can coax people well, he doesn't mind pretending to be a monkey.

The rest of the journey went very smoothly.This road is familiar to the brothers of the Lu family. Although there is no wide and flat road in later generations, there are no accidents.

He Xiaoxi had never traveled this road in the early days. Although she often traveled between the two cities in her previous life, she used the railway instead of the land route.

In the evening, they walked to a river.The sun was already almost setting below the rolling hills to the west.

Lu Yougui stopped the mule cart slowly.He Xiaoxi didn't know the reason for the stop, and asked, "Is it there yet?"

"It's almost here, we're already in the east of the city." Lu Yougui replied.

It's still in the east of the city, so why can I see the mountains in the west of the city?He Xiaoxi was a little puzzled.But figured it out quickly.

There are no high-rise buildings in later generations.Everywhere is empty, without any shelter.

When waiting for future generations, especially after the rapid development began after the 90s.There are tall buildings everywhere.Thinking about seeing the mountains west of the city like this is impossible.

He Xiaoxi greedily looked at the rare beauty in later generations.

He Xiaoxi's appearance made Lu Youcai very happy.What Xiaoxi likes is what he likes.I feel that bringing Xiaoxi to Haicheng is really the right decision.

It would be even more perfect if Xiaoxi could forget about seeing the skirt showing her thighs.

Lu Youcai jumped out of the car and reached out to help He Xiaoxi get off.

"The bridge is too narrow, so be careful when crossing."

He Xiaoxi had also heard of this bridge. It only had a few horizontal slabs, and there were no guardrails on both sides. It was very simple.

The river is not very wide, not even one-fifth of the width of the Qingquan River in Shuidong Village, and the water is not deep.

There is only a shallow layer of water at the bottom of the river, and there is no water pollution. Standing on the bridge, you can clearly see the fish and stones at the bottom of the river.

But the bridge deck is nearly four or five meters high from the water, and there are wide gaps between several horizontal boards.People walking on the bridge deck can see the sparkling water below through the gap.

Even people who are not afraid of heights will feel dizzy walking on the bridge.So people often fall off the bridge.

Because of frequent accidents, the bridge will be demolished and rebuilt in a few years.

The Lu brothers were in front of the car, each leading a mule and walking slowly forward.The main purpose is to prevent the mule's hooves from getting into the gaps in the bridge deck.

Once the mule's hooves get stuck in the crevice, the mule will go crazy due to the pain.An accidental car crash is possible.

In addition, pay attention to keep the cart in a straight line, and prevent the wheels from sinking into the gaps in the bridge deck or crooked into the river.

Once the wheels sink in, the bridge deck is too narrow, and there is no place to lift the car up.Not to mention the trouble, it is also prone to danger.

There is a three-point risk for sailing and riding a horse.It was not easy for the Lu family brothers to do this small business of selling sauce and vinegar.

Today's productivity is low, and the country and localities are poor.Many of these bridges, which are full of potential safety hazards, are still in service.

The three of them crossed the river carefully, and He Xiaoxi and Lu Youcai boarded the mule cart again.

They're going into town before dark.Because we have to line up for loading tomorrow morning.

Haicheng is relatively more prosperous, but He Xiaoxi is a person who came back from a more prosperous later life, so these are really nothing to her.

Not all cities are prosperous.There are also areas where poor people live.

The mule cart passed through a patch of low, shabby houses.These houses are not as good as the mud and thatched houses in He Xiaoxi's village.

There are all kinds of materials, most of which are broken wood boards and external walls sandwiched by branches.

The roof is covered with asphalt felt, and the asphalt felt is pressed with broken bricks and tiles to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

Each house is not big, and there is no courtyard.The dilapidated houses that look like pigeon cages are crowded together, very messy.

Seeing a mule cart approaching, a group of children surrounded the cart and watched, chasing the mule cart.

He Xiaoxi knew that the people who lived here had escaped from the famine in several nearby provinces and cities and settled here.

They are at the bottom of the city, doing jobs that the most difficult and tiring locals are unwilling to do, and supporting their families.

Of course, there are also some thieves who are unwilling to contribute and engage in activities such as stealing and robbery.

He Xiaoxi and the others didn't want to cause trouble, and they didn't want to stay here. They drove the mule cart and wanted to leave this area as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a figure rushed over from the slant, rushed straight into the front of the car, and fell to the ground.

A group of people across the road came running after the man.

Both He Xiaoxi and Lu Youcai nervously stood up on the cart.

He Xiaoxi's only thought is: It's broken, and if you meet Pengci, it's still a gang of Pengci!

Fortunately, it was dark and there were children running with the car.Lu Yougui was not driving fast because he was afraid of bumping into the children.

As long as this person is not seriously injured, he shouldn't blackmail them too much.

However, before they got out of the car to ask how the man was injured, the man quickly got up and plunged into the poor house by the roadside.

Those who followed him were blocked by mule carts.By the time they got around the mule cart and chased after him, the man had long since disappeared.

There is no planning at all in this place where the poor live.Illegal buildings are everywhere, and the roads are even more twists and turns.

People who don't live in it have difficulty getting in and walking after dark.Not to mention going in to find someone?
After the man entered, he didn't have to run at all. He found a place to lie still, and these people couldn't find him.

Seeing that they had lost him after being chased, the group of people who followed them gave an unlucky "Bah".

One of them looked them over, looked at their clothes, and picked his chin.

"You caused us to chase someone away, how can we pay for it, please tell me?"

This is to see that they dress like foreigners, trying to make up for the losses inside the bank.

 Slums, every city in the world has such places, not only in mainland China, but also in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.There are also foreign cities.

  In recent years, our country has made remarkable achievements in eliminating the gap between the rich and the poor. (* ̄3 ̄)╭
