002. I Don't Govern This Place
There was no record of the village in the county, and the villagers could not tell which town was in charge of it. There was no clue at all.
At this moment, this matter basically had nothing to do with Lin Hao anymore.
He had already helped what he needed to help, and he could not help with the rest.
Thinking of this, Lin Hao said to the staff of the county poverty relief office on the other end of the phone.
"Anyway, you guys can deal with them as you see fit. These people are definitely not from the village under my jurisdiction.”
On the other side, the staff of the county poverty relief office heard that Lin Hao was trying to shirk his responsibility and immediately became anxious.
"Brother Lin, the county is 200 kilometers away from where you are. You can't go there for a while. Help them confirm the location of the village.”
"Our border area is vast and sparsely populated. There are some small villages that often migrate and are nomadic. Moreover, their names are all over the place. The county has no records at all, so we can't figure out which township it belongs to.”
"It's hard on you. I'll treat you to a meal when I return to the county next time.”
Call Lin when you have nothing to do. Call Brother Lin when you need help. It's very realistic!
Out of sympathy, Lin Hao decided to help these villagers again, not because of a meal.
"Alright, I'll go with them to confirm the location. I'll inform you when the time comes.”
After hanging up the call with the county staff, Lin Hao spoke to the villagers in the minority language.
"The county can't find out which township is in charge of your village."
Hearing this, the villagers were shocked and at a loss. However, Lin Hao's next words made them ecstatic.
"But I can go to your village and confirm that the village is under the jurisdiction of that township.”
"Don't worry. Once we confirm the location, we will definitely build roads, houses, and schools for you.”
"Let's go now. You guys lead the way."
With that, Lin Hao led a few ecstatic villagers out of the office.
The horses that the villagers rode were tied to the entrance of the poverty relief office, while Lin Hao rode his beloved big motorcycle.
The group chatted as they walked. Lin Hao and the villagers became familiar with each other and learned some basic information about each other.
"Don't call me Leader. Just call me Xiao Lin.”
"You're 49 years old this year, older than my dad. I'll call you Uncle Hari.”
"Don't worry, our country has good policies. Once we determine the location, we will definitely help you get rid of poverty and become rich.”
...
Along the way, Lin Hao became a little less confident.
All the lands he passed by along the way were under his jurisdiction.
Could it be that these villagers were left behind by his jurisdiction?
Sangri Village had an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers and a radius of more than 100 kilometers. It was larger than many counties in other regions, but only a little over 1,000 people lived there.
In such a vast and sparsely populated place, there might be a village that he had missed.
Thinking of this, Lin Hao felt a little awkward.
If this village was really in his jurisdiction and he accidentally missed it, then it would be his responsibility.
Previously, Lin Hao had complained that it was irresponsible to miss out on the poverty relief workers in the village.
The Clown is actually me!
Lin Hao secretly reflected on his dereliction of duty.
He had thought that he had done a good job in helping the poor for three years. He did not expect to make such a mistake.
He was too careless!
After walking for nearly 100 kilometers, they passed through an uninhabited area. The cement road disappeared and became a bumpy mountain road.
Lin Hao, who was full of worries, felt that something was wrong.
This area seemed to have reached the border of his jurisdiction.
According to the information and the news from the villagers in the area, no one lived here at all, and he had never been to this place before.
How could these villagers 'village be here?
Lin Hao looked at the villagers riding horses beside him in confusion.
"Uncle Ha Ri, we've walked for more than 100 kilometers. Where is your village?”
The closer they got to home, the happier the villagers felt.
The leading old villager pointed at the small mountain path not far away.
"Leader Xiao Lin, it's under the hill in front. We'll be there soon.”
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Lin Hao followed the villagers up the hill not far away.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Hao was dumbfounded.
A few villagers did not notice Lin Hao's abnormality and pointed excitedly at the village under the hill.
"Leader Xiao Lin, our village is below.”
"You must tell the higher-ups to help our village.”
"Our village is too poor. There's no electricity, and the children can't go to school.”
......
Lin Hao looked at the small village at the foot of the mountain and fell into deep thought.
By the river, there were dilapidated houses made of adobe wood. A few roofs were still leaking air, revealing poverty and backwardness everywhere.
When he came here three years ago, almost all the buildings in the border area looked like this.
But now, this kind of shabby retro style was rare.
This was not the main point. The main point was the Boundary Stele on the hill.
On one side of the Boundary Stone was written the Dragon Country, and on the other side was written the Three Kingdoms.
The truth was revealed!
Lin Hao didn't neglect his duty, and neither did the other poverty relief workers at the border.
The real reason why the village at the foot of the mountain was not included in the poverty relief, road construction, housing construction, and school construction was that they were not under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Country.
Looking at the villagers who were looking forward to a better life, Lin Hao didn't know how to tell them the truth.
It was too cruel!
At this moment, after the villagers recovered from their excitement, they finally realized that something was wrong with Lin Hao's face.
"Leader Xiao Lin, this is our village. Have you confirmed the location?”
"When can you come over and help us build a house and a school?”
"We're not in a hurry. You guys are busy with work. It's okay to be a little slower.”
......
Lin Hao was silent for a moment and finally decided to tell them the truth.
The truth was the truth, and he couldn't change it.
"Uncle Ha Ri, I'm really sorry.”
"You are under the jurisdiction of the Three Kingdoms. We have no right to help you build houses, roads, or schools.”
"Your problem should be handled by the local government of the three countries.”
As he spoke, Lin Hao pointed at the Boundary Stone beside him and explained.
"This is the boundary stone that separated the two countries.”
Hearing Lin Hao's explanation, the villagers were stunned at first, then they said anxiously.
"What Ah Three Kingdoms? We don't know, we don't understand.”
"We are all people with yellow skin and black eyes. My relatives are from the Dragon Country, and so am I.”
"We're from the Z race and the Dragon Country. How can we be from the three countries?”
......
Facing the villagers 'questions, especially when they said that they were all yellow-skinned and black-eyed people, Lin Hao's heart sank.
Due to some historical reasons, the border was set here, and some yellow-skinned and black-eyed compatriots were also drawn to foreign countries.
History had already happened, and no one could change it.
Lin Hao suppressed the heaviness in his heart and continued to explain patiently.
"Uncle Ha Ri, I can understand your feelings, but your village is outside the Boundary Stone, we can't do anything about it.”
"In this situation, if you have any problems, you can only look for the three countries.”
"I personally want to help you, but the conditions allow it.”
......
Lin Hao explained for a long time and finally let the villagers understand what was going on.
The leader, Uncle Hari, was full of complicated feelings, sadness, desire, helplessness, and anxiety.
"Leader Xiao Lin, we understand what you're saying. It's our fault.”
"It's too troublesome for you to come all the way here.”
"Let's go to the village. I'll kill a sheep to entertain you.”
Lin Hao waved his hand and shook his head.
"It's not troublesome. I'll just go to your village.”
"If I go to your village, I have to cross the border. This is illegal and wrong.”
"It's getting late. I'll go back first.”
Hearing this, the villagers were furious.
"That's our village. You can come as you please and don't make any mistakes.”
"Whoever dares to say that you made a mistake, we will kill him.”
"I'm herding cows and sheep here every day, and no one cares about me.”
......
Lin Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of the villagers from the three countries. He repeatedly declined their kind invitation and started his motorcycle to set off on his way back.
A few villagers rode over again.
"Leader Xiao Lin, we're worried about you going back alone. Let's send you back.”
Lin Hao waved his hand helplessly.
He had just told them that crossing the border was illegal, but these guys didn't take it to heart at all.
"No need. I'm very fast on a motorcycle. If you ride me on a horse, it will only slow me down.”
After another round of persuasion, Lin Hao declined the villagers 'kindness to send him back.
Before leaving, the leader of the villagers, Uncle Hari, suddenly shouted at Lin Hao, who had already walked far away.
"Leader Xiao Lin, if we live by the boundary stone, will our children be able to go to school?”
Hearing this, Lin Hao was stunned for a moment before subconsciously replying loudly.
"That's right! "If you live on the boundary stone, you will be from the Dragon Country and can enjoy the policies of the Dragon Country.”
The figures of the villagers behind him slowly shrank and disappeared. Lin Hao felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Could it be that these villagers wanted to migrate to the Dragon Country?
This isn't illegal, right?
This was the first time Lin Hao had encountered such a situation, so he didn't quite understand.
