Chapter 374: Jinyuan's Past

On July 1, 1992, Li Yi finally finished all the affairs in Haidong and returned to Beihe Province. Read М

However, because he was too involved in chatting with Tang Sui, it was already past five in the afternoon when he left the villa.

And in this era, you can't check tickets online with your mobile phone, so when he arrived at the train station, he asked and found out that there was no direct train to Beihe Province today, and he could only transfer in a place called Jinyuan City.

When he saw this place name just now, Li was stunned.

The reason is that this name is too familiar!

Before Li Yi was reborn, he had been to Jinyuan!

Jinyuan City is a county-level city, very poor. The terrain here is mainly mountainous. It is really 7 mountains, 1 water and 2 fields. Usually everyone lives a hard life, and can only barely solve the problem of food and clothing throughout the year.

If you are unfortunate enough to encounter any natural disasters or man-made disasters, it will really be a problem to eat.

Moreover, the weather here is humid, the mountain roads are dangerous, and there are not many roads. It is really a poor mountain and bad water.

That is to say, after the construction of a railway station, the situation has improved a little, but the change is very limited.

Only a few small towns closest to the railway station have changed their backward appearance by relying on the railway. However, most of the towns are very far away from the railway line, especially those villages and towns in the mountainous areas, and the impact of the railway on them is minimal.

The reason why Li Yi knows the situation here so well is entirely because he came here on his way to find his daughter Li Youwei in his previous life.

At that time, Li Yi didn't know where he heard the news from. He heard that a group of children were sold to a small village in the mountains here, so Li Yi came here without hesitation.

At that time, Li Yi had severed his relationship with Li Fengnian, and Xu Qingnan was no longer alive.

It was precisely because of the loss of Xu Qingnan that Li Yi was completely discouraged. Then, holding the only remaining glimmer of hope, he went all over the country to look for clues about his daughter.

In the early 1990s, in Longguo, if you want to find a little girl taken away by human traffickers, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack!

Li Yi was desperate at that time. He was even ready to look for his daughter for the rest of his life.

His parents broke off relations with him, and his wife, who was the most patient with him, committed suicide by jumping off a building in despair.

He lost his job and was alone. Everyone around him looked at him with contempt.

It can be said that Li Yi had reached the lowest point in his life at that time. If he took a step back, he would fall into an endless abyss.

When he arrived in Jinyuan City, Li Yi actually didn't have much savings.

When he came out, he only had more than 100 yuan, which was collected by Wei Sanpao and other brothers.

But when he became Jinyuan, he only had a few yuan left.

Before arriving in Jinyuan, Li Yi had walked thousands of kilometers and searched more than ten cities.

At that time, according to the clues given by the Public Security Bureau, the human traffickers were likely to flee to the north. Coupled with the occasional news, Li Yi decided to try his luck in Jinyuan.

In Jinyuan, Li Yi slept in bridge holes and on park benches. When he was hungry, he ate steamed buns worth a few cents. When he was thirsty, he asked for a bowl of water.

Even because of repeated disappointments, his spirit was severely damaged and he was in a trance.

Later, Li Yi met the person who influenced most of his life here.

Li Yi clearly remembered that he had been looking for his daughter in Jinyuan for half a month, but still found nothing. One night, he was tired and thirsty and planned to stay at the train station for a night.

First, he wanted to try his luck at the train station, and second, he really had no money, but he was driven out by the security personnel at the train station.

Although Li Yi was not ragged at the time, he was not much worse, so the staff at the train station regarded him as a beggar and did not allow him to go in to rest.

In desperation, Li Yi could only leave, but he fainted not far away.

At that time, he had not eaten much for three days, so his body naturally could not bear it.

When Li Yi woke up again, he found himself in a farmer's house.

The conditions in the farmer's house were very simple, with a wooden bed, a room made of yellow mud and wood. The conditions could not even be compared with those in the 1970s.

But it was this small house with almost leaks everywhere that gave Li Yi great courage.

When Li Yi recalled it now, he could still remember that although the house was not very comfortable or luxurious, and even had some leaks, it was the warmest and most luxurious house in the world for him.

Li Yi slept for a whole day until he was fed a few mouthfuls of rice soup in a daze, and then he slowly opened his heavy eyes.

The first person he saw was a woman with a sallow complexion and rough skin, but her smile gave people a very warm feeling.

On a small stool in the corner of the room, there sat a little girl who looked like she had just started elementary school. She was lying on a small table and writing seriously.

As for the small table, it was actually just a simple cardboard box.

This family seemed to be extremely poor. The wooden house was not big, with only two rooms, and the food on the table was simple porridge and pickles. It was called porridge, but in fact there were not many grains of rice in it. It was more like rice soup.

Li Yi felt very strange at the time. Why would such a family save him?

Shouldn't it be that everyone should take care of their own business and not worry about other people's troubles?

Are there really such good people in this world?

Later, he found out that he was no longer in Jinyuan City, but in a mountain village.

The couple who saved him were mountain dwellers. Jinyuan has a special geographical location, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are endless mountains. The climate is humid. There are many medicinal herbs in this place, and many people make a living by collecting herbs.

This couple is one of them. All along, the wife went to the mountains to collect herbs, while the husband took the herbs to the nearest city to sell them. He set out every day before dawn on his donkey cart and would not come back until late at night.

That day, Li Yi fainted at the entrance of the alley and was found by her husband, who rescued him.

Unexpectedly, Li Yi was in a coma for two days. The couple almost thought he would not survive, but in the end, the King of Hell did not take him and he survived.

In the following days, Li Yi recuperated at the couple's home.

The couple were very kind-hearted, and the whole village was harmonious. Although they were poor, they were happy.

When Li Yi asked Tiezhu and his wife why they saved him, they just said that this was a rule passed down by their ancestors, and they could not stand by and watch someone die.

Li Yi knew that this was because of their kindness and the brilliance of human nature.

It was at this moment that his heart was filled with hope again.

Yes, there are indeed dark sides in this world, and there are indeed many bad people, but there are still many good people.

My daughter was indeed abducted, but there may not be no hope, and I must cheer up.

So after Li Yi recovered, he stayed in Jinyuan for more than ten days, until he went around all the small villages and there was no trace of his daughter, so he left.

Despite the disappointment, his heart was full of hope.

And this time he also realized that if he wanted to find his daughter, he couldn't rely on his own beliefs, but he had to have enough economic strength to support it.

So after he returned to Jiangcheng, he began to try to do business, which led to the following things.

It can be said that it was the good deeds of Tiezhu and his wife that made Li Yi what he is today, and Li Yi has always kept it in mind.
