The horses marched up the hill, the sound of bells echoing through the clouds.

It rained for several days in the small mountain village, and it had just cleared up, so Zhou Li contacted the horse team under the mountain to carry building materials up the mountain.

There is only one path leading to the village, and Xiao Zheng said that when she was a child, she built her own house by asking a horse team to bring up the building materials from the mountains. Zhou Li once suspected that the horse teams she had seen when she was a child had disappeared at least a few years ago, but after asking at the bottom of the mountain, she actually found them.

The horse team is expensive and inefficient, but there is no other way.

If the amount is relatively small, Zhou Li can also ask them to pile it on the side of a remote road, and then ask the old monster to move it back at night. But so many bulk goods old monsters at least have to move dozens or hundreds of times, too many times is also a big burden for him, and there is a risk of scaring people.

Zhou Li is still very good at feeling sorry for the old monster.

He is not short of money anyway.

The mountain is high and the road is steep, and the rainy path is swollen, making it more and more difficult to walk, and the horses are tired and panting, which makes the uncle who drives the horses feel distressed.

So Zhou Li added some money to him.

Gradually, Zheng Zhilan's house next door piled up more and more building materials.

As the sun set, the horse team lined up in a long line along the path, quietly waiting to unload the goods, and several dogs also squatted quietly beside them.

This is the last shipment.

The uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said while busy: "You are just a family, why do you live on this barren mountain? Aren't you afraid at night?"

"Don't be afraid. Zheng Zhilan shook her head lightly and stood aside to watch.

"Why don't you move down?"

"Got used to it. ”

"Move down! How much to suffer on this mountain! It's not convenient to buy anything, you little girl, even if it's a little ...... It's not too serious, it's beautiful and delicate, find a good person to marry, it's better than staying here!" The uncle unloaded the goods and spoke, and his tone was focused when he exerted his strength, "I came to the side of the road and saw the mudslide, tsk, I was very scared, there are floods everywhere this year, and you are not afraid to come again!"

"Probably not. ”

Zheng Zhilan's voice became smaller and smaller.

Of course the uncle is kind, she knows it, but she really rarely communicates with people, and she is not good at communicating with people.

The more others cared, the more dazed she became.

At this time, Brother Nan's voice sounded next to her, she smiled, and looked very optimistic: "The recent flood is a bit terrible! I read the news, many cities can directly row boats, I don't know how serious the disaster is!"

"The cars on the road are much more flooded!"

"That's it, the insurance company has to pay for it!"

She and her uncle quickly chatted, and the uncle no longer cared about Zheng Zhilan, which made the little Zheng girl quietly relieved.

Nominally, these building materials are for Miss Xiao Zheng.

The location that Xinghui and Ji Bai finally chose was next door to Zheng Zhilan's house, but it was not next to each other, and the vacant land in the middle was developed into a vegetable plot by Zheng Zhilan, planting some more common seasonal vegetables, and a pear tree. Behind that house is a bamboo forest, there are a few toon trees growing at the door, and there are many small trees that have become extremely lush because of the long absence.

So in fact, it is the star who will return to Ji Bai.

The horses clanged away again, and disappeared along the path at the end of the setting sun.

Brother Nan let out a long breath and pulled up her waist, she was also helping to unload the goods just now, and she had been working, and she was very tired.

Looking at the house next door, she said: "This house has been smashed by stones, it has to be pushed down first, the small room on the side can not be pushed, and the big one in the middle must be demolished and rebuilt." ”

"It's not easy!"

Huai Xu also threw himself in and turned his head to look at the top of the mountain: "Tell that big guy to come down and do a favor, he will sit down as soon as his ass is over!" We can go back and close the door for dinner, and come back when the dust clears." ”

Zheng Zhilan shook her head lightly and said seriously: "He is a god, we can't ask him, we can only respectfully ask for his help......"

"He's been watching it for a day, and I think he's wanted to come down and play for a long time. ”

"He wants to eat horses. ”

"......" Huai Xu realized that the evil god's thinking was really different from his own, so he waved his hand, "Anyway, your name is ...... Give it a try. ”

"We can knock it down. ”

"Okay...... Huai Xu helplessly, "Then let's get it, I can see that I can get gray." ”

"Good. ”

Xing Hui and Ji Bai on the side hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I'm sorry for the trouble, but we can also help with this." ”

A minute later, there was a bang.

"Meow!"

"The house is falling!"

Tuanzi, who was watching from afar, turned around and ran, and only stopped when she ran to a safe distance, and looked back curiously. Seeing that the next door was already covered in dust, Zhou Li pulled Zheng Zhilan and ran out covering her nose, her face and head were covered with ash.

"Hmm!"

Dango-sama blinked.

After running out of the dust range, Zhou Li let go of Zheng Zhilan's wrist, and Brother Nan also walked out from behind the tree.

Looking at these two people, Brother Nan grinned, and just wanted to speak, but saw a small white shadow quickly jumping over on the ground, and directly grabbed her in front of her and said the mocking words: "Zhou Li is Xiao Pull him!"

"What?"

Zhou Li hugged the group, he was dirty now, but the group did not dislike it, let him hold it.

Tuanzi repeated seriously: "Zhou Li is a little puller!"

"Little sloppy. ”

"Rata. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Zhou Li is Little Lata. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Zhou Li stretched out his hand and wiped a handful of ash on his body, and rubbed it evenly on the face of the dumpling: "Now the adult of the dumpling has also become a little sloppy." ”

Brother Nan on the side tugged at the corners of her mouth, she couldn't understand Tuanzi's words, but she could roughly guess the content of their conversation, so she pushed Zhou Li again and again: "Don't pestle here crookedly, the road is blocked by you, don't you go back to take a shower and change clothes!"

"Oh. ”

Half an hour later.

Zhou Li came out of the shower and put the dirty clothes on the bed.

He's been accumulating a lot of dirty laundry these days, and he wanted to wash it a few days ago, but it rained, and he had to wash it tonight.

Downstairs, Brother Nan had already cooked the noodles and put them in a large iron basin, with eggs in it, mountain mushrooms and green vegetables.

As soon as she saw Zhou Li, she said: "Why are you so grinding when you take a bath, you can wash longer than girls!"

Zhou Li didn't say anything, only glanced at the table.

The table was full of spice bottles and leftovers from noon, and they had already eaten them, except for the cold rice that Ji Bai ate, they were all noodles. Even the dumplings buried their heads in a bowl of fish noodle soup and dealt with it seriously, not even noticing his arrival.

The sound of sucking noodles came and went......

It's very unpretentious.

Zhou Li also picked up the bowl, and after serving a bowl of noodles, he thought it was too hot in the house, so he brought it to the door, sat on the threshold and ate it.

I have the impression that most adults when they were young were like this.

It's getting late.

Looking at the dark mountain village, the gradient color on the horizon and the stars beginning to emerge overhead, I suddenly felt like I was out of time.

The people in the house finished eating first, and Tuanzi ran to Zhou Li's side first, rubbed his trouser legs and sat down at his feet, sitting upright, she looked at the dogs napping in the courtyard one by one, silently, and so well-behaved.

Not long after, Brother Nan also came to Zhou Li's side, stretched out his hand, and there were a few wild dates in his white palm, with water droplets on them.

"The back mountain grows, don't look small, it's delicious. ”

"Oh. ”

"I found this to be a treasure trove, with everything, and I only ate wild dates on the mountain opposite the weir pond when I was a child, and then they were gone. Brother Nan also sat down next to Zhou Li, "This threshold is so narrow, isn't it a butt?"

"How do you find food everywhere?"

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious. ”

"Hey, hey, hey~~"

Brother Nan smirked a few times, took out his mobile phone and looked at it again, and couldn't help sighing: "It's more than 30 degrees tomorrow, and I'm going to die of heat." ”

Zhou Li nodded and fed a jujube to the dumplings.

Brother Nan continued to talk to him, and after only three or two sentences, the sky was completely dark, and the light of the incandescent lamp came out from the gate, pulling out two long figures on the ground, and there was a little bit of chewing dates next to him.

"Eat bones!"

Brother Nan threw a jujube pit next to the dog, expecting the dog to rush forward if she tricked her, but she quickly showed a disappointed expression.

The dog just turned its head to look at her, still lazily lying on the ground.

Maybe they're hot too.
