Chapter 247 The Tunnel is Open
The jeep was speeding like a flash of lightning on the wide and flat highway. Inside the car, Qin Haibin was staring ahead intently, his hands firmly holding the steering wheel, his years of driving skills demonstrated to the fullest.
At this moment, he was fully concerned about the Xiaoyang Village mountain tunnel project, as if it was the most important mission in his life and he could not afford to delay for a moment and had to rush to help without stopping.
Jiang Chengyu, who was standing by, used his unique internal skills to save Xie Qinfeng, and had already exhausted a lot of his energy.
At this moment, he was sleeping soundly in the car like an extremely tired child. Luo Shaoqing looked at Jiang Chengyu's slightly pale but still resolute face, his eyes full of admiration.
He gently picked up a military blanket, his movements as gentle as the breeze blowing over flowers, and carefully covered Jiang Chengyu with it. The smile on his face was full of love, as if he was taking care of his most beloved child.
The jeep slowly stopped not far from the tunnel exit, and the sharp sound of brakes cut through the silence of the night.
Jiang Chengyu suddenly woke up from his sleep. He yawned subconsciously and asked sleepily, "Professor Luo, are we there yet?"
Luo Shaoqing looked at him lovingly, his eyes full of concern as he said, "Treatment of Xie Qinfeng must have consumed a lot of your energy, right?"
Jiang Chengyu smiled slightly, and that smile was like the warm sun in winter, dispelling a trace of fatigue. He said, "I feel much better after sleeping all the way." As he spoke, he neatly put away the blanket and followed Professor Luo out of the car.
At this time, night has fallen, and the mountains of Xiaoyang Village seem to be covered by a huge black curtain, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
But the construction team was busy working in the tunnel, and the bright lights made the entire tunnel as bright as day, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness outside.
Qin Haibin quickly ran to the side, and soon he rode over on a three-wheeled motorcycle. He shouted, "Professor, get on board!"
Luo Shaoqing and Jiang Chengyu looked around. The grand mountain drilling project was particularly shocking.
Looking at the three-wheeled motorcycle, Luo Shaoqing said with a smile: "Let's go. In order to facilitate traveling in this mountain, we are specially equipped with this thing."
Jiang Chengyu sat behind Qin Haibin nimbly, while Luo Shaoqing got into the car with a relaxed look.
As the motorcycle started, the wheels raised up dust along the way. The dust was like a sandstorm raging in the yellow desert, instantly submerging the figures of the three people, leaving only the roar of the motorcycle echoing in the mountains.
The three-wheeled motorcycle traveled for thirty minutes, bumping along in the bumpy tunnel. Finally, the three of them stopped in a nearby exclusive parking area.
Jiang Chengyu looked up and could clearly see where the truck was parked. A group of soldiers were working hard. They were busy moving stones and then loading them onto the truck. Everyone's forehead was covered with sweat, but there was a tenacity in their eyes.
Luo Shaoqing looked at this lively and energetic scene and said with a smile: "Let's get started too!"
Jiang Chengyu responded with a confident smile: "Okay."
Qin Haibin quickly walked aside and began to perform his duties as a guard. He scanned the surroundings vigilantly, not missing any possible safety hazards.
At this time, everyone saw Luo Shaoqing coming with a young man, who still looked very young, and they all greeted him enthusiastically: "Professor Luo, are you calling for help again?"
Luo Shaoqing smiled and nodded, saying, "You can say that! If you are tired, go down and rest for a while, conserve your energy, safety first!"
"Thank you, Professor Luo. We have just taken over. Hey, little comrade, you look so delicate and tender. Can you do it?" a soldier said with good-natured joking.
Jiang Chengyu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a brilliant smile, and laughed loudly: "Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Chengyu, please don't ask, okay? Remove the word 'ma'."
His words caused everyone to laugh, and the laughter echoed in the mountains. "That's good. I was just worried that you are just an embroidered pillow, good-looking but useless. Haha."
Jiang Chengyu didn't wait for everyone to finish laughing. He took a few quick steps, exerted force suddenly, and jumped up. He climbed to a high place lightly.
There was a huge stone there, weighing several hundred pounds, but Jiang Chengyu was not afraid at all. He held the stone firmly with both hands and lifted it up easily. Then he walked towards the truck steadily step by step, and finally loaded the stone onto the truck easily.
This scene instantly made everyone present exclaim, "Wow, this little chicken is quite powerful."
Jiang Chengyu patted the dust off his hands and said seriously: "Just kidding, everyone must pay attention to safety."
As he was speaking, Jiang Chengyu's attention was suddenly drawn to that place. He saw three people below struggling to move a larger stone. The stone was huge and heavy, and the three people were trying so hard that their faces turned red, but they could only move the stone a little bit.
Jiang Chengyu said nothing, and quickly leaped forward like an agile bird, shouting, "Everyone, work together, 3, 2, 1, go."
Following his command, several people exerted their strength at the same time, and the big rock seemed to suddenly become lighter and was easily thrown onto the car. Everyone shouted, "Good!" This roar showed the true nature and spirit of the men.
Everyone was busy at work, and everyone's face and body were covered with dust. Sweat slid down their foreheads, leaving traces on their dusty cheeks, and the originally clean clothes became dirty.
But despite this, the laughter and joy at the scene were like magical magic, making every busy person seem tireless. Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement and joy, and they were immersed in this vibrant atmosphere and had a lot of fun.
After countless times of moving and digging, finally, the crucial moment came. As the last boulder was removed, the tunnel was successfully opened!
The news was like the light of dawn that suddenly penetrated the darkness and sprinkled on everyone's heart.
In an instant, cheers and shouts intertwined together. Everyone cheered and shouted with joy. The sound was deafening, as if to wake up the entire valley.
Soon after, the villagers of Xiaoyang Village also learned of this great news.
They happily shuttled through the village alleys, shouting as they ran: "The tunnel is open! The tunnel is open!"
The villagers rushed towards the tunnel. Then, the sound of gongs suddenly rang out in the village. The "clang clang clang" sound was clear and loud, resounding through the sky.
The voice traveled far and wide, as if announcing this exciting good news to the whole world.
Then, it was the enthusiastic villagers who ran towards us with their faces full of smiles and excited tears in their eyes, holding firecrackers in their hands.
As the crackling sound of firecrackers rang out, the whole scene was instantly enveloped in a festive atmosphere. It was even more lively than the Chinese New Year!
In the crowd, there was a lion dancing team, and the lions were danced to life vividly.
Not far from the tunnel, they were seen jumping and rolling to the rhythm of the gongs and drums. They looked majestic and powerful, just like real lions celebrating a festival.
Jiang Chengyu was very excited watching the lively scene in front of him. His eyes were slightly moist and he couldn't help but follow the officers and soldiers in applauding the villagers' fiery enthusiasm. The applause continued for a long time amid the cheers and firecrackers.
As the enthusiastic villagers expressed their deep gratitude to the people's soldiers in the most simple way, the scene was like a warm picture.
Some villagers carried pumpkins. The orange-yellow skin looked fresh and sweet, as if it reflected the simplicity of the common people.
Some carry a basket of eggs and are fed pure grain, which is rich in nutritional value.
Others held fresh apples, which were as red as fire. The rich fruit fragrance drifted in the air, as if telling people the sweetness of the harvest.
They said in unison: "Please accept it. This is a gift from us. These are all pure green foods grown by ourselves. Please accept them!" Their voices rose one after another, full of sincerity and earnestness, echoing in the valley.
In the crowd, there was a lovely little girl who stood out. She had healthy wheat-colored skin, a color kissed by the sun, and was full of vitality.
Her big eyes are like two crystal clear black gems, clear, bright and innocent.
She raised her head slightly, a little shyly, reached out and held Jiang Chengyu's hand, whispering softly: "Big brother, thank you for your hard work!"
Jiang Chengyu looked at the angel-like girl in front of him, his eyes full of tenderness. He gently scratched the tip of the little girl's nose, and a smile as bright as a spring flower bloomed on his face.
Said: "It's not hard. Seeing you can get out of the mountains, everything we do is worth it!"
The little girl's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she asked expectantly, "Big brother, can I take you to visit the Lamb Village?"
Jiang Chengyu was delighted and replied, "Is it possible? I was just worried about not having a guide!"
"Of course. Come on, I'll show you around." After the little girl said that, she took Jiang Chengyu's hand and skipped into the village.
Walking into the village, what comes into view are the stone houses. The stones are covered with traces of time, and every texture seems to be telling an ancient story.
The house is surrounded by a fence made of bamboo or small trees. Occasionally, a few unknown small flowers appear from the gaps in the fence, swaying gently in the breeze, contrasting with the quaint house, outlining the unique quaint appearance of this village, as if time has slowed down here.
Walking along the path, you can see the gurgling river. The river water flows naturally and is crystal clear, like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky and the surrounding mountains.
In the river, a group of wild ducks were playing happily. They sometimes dived their heads into the water and sometimes flapped their wings and jumped out of the water, splashing a string of crystal water. The water reflected colorful light under the sunlight, like a dreamy crystal bead curtain.
Standing on the top of a high mountain, you can see apple trees all over the mountain. Ripe apples hang on the branches, and the large patches of red are like the gorgeous sunset in the sky, dyeing the hillside a fiery red, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
As the breeze blows, the fragrance of apples fills the air, and the sweet taste lingers at the tip of the nose, making people intoxicated.
In the valley, the mooing of old cows can be heard from time to time. The sound is low and long, like an ancient ballad, echoing slowly in the valley, adding a unique charm to this quiet countryside.
All of these things, interwoven together, form a new picture of the countryside full of vitality and hope, vividly presented before people's eyes.
