The two left the temple along the inferior cement road and walked to the main loess road.

The so-called main road is actually only more than three meters wide, but there are still a few people waiting for them here. Hearing that Li Yiting was going home to save his family, the Beiting teammates were very moved and wanted to come to see the authentic mountain scenery. Except for Xu Jingnan, who couldn't leave the police force when he worked, and Fat Sheng and Xiao Guoyuan had to stay behind, everyone else came to join in the fun.

Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue leaned on the stone fence and admired the small bridge and flowing water, Wan Yongkun squatted on the ridge and smoked silently, looking at the stubble in the paddy field and didn't know what he was thinking, and the always restrained Kuangsuo wandered around for no reason, to be honest, the customs and customs that are completely different from the Crescent Moon Mountain are really attractive to him, not to mention that they are also original and feel very cordial.

Spring has not yet arrived, everything has not yet recovered, and the temperature in the mountains is four or five degrees lower than that of the local counties and cities, so the water in the rice fields is a little thin ice, which is angular and brilliant under the sun. The river under the bridge is gurgling, and there is no sign of freezing, perhaps because of the living water.

Li Yiting first raised his hand to greet Wan Yongkun: "Hey, don't be in a daze, go home." ”

Wan Yongkun reacted quickly and immediately got up when he heard the words, casually threw the cigarette butt into the rice field, making an almost inaudible swish, his expression was indifferent, when he came here, he seemed to have changed back into the farmer in the deep mountains, if he was given a broken straw hat at this time, absolutely no one would be able to realize that he would be a brave detective.

Beiting is such a group of people, most of them come from the grassroots class, so like lizards, they can quickly integrate into each special environment, and instantly transform into the original part of this environment, they originally came from the bottom, so they don't need to disguise, they are naturally grounded.

Chen Tianyu suddenly sighed: "Uh, Yiting, how many years have you not been back?"

This question made Li Yiting slightly stunned, and he thought for a moment: "It's been six or seven years, in those years in the police station, I came back when I had a holiday, and this time it was a little longer...... Thankfully, nothing has changed. ”

"Are you returning home this time?" Chen Tianyu joked casually.

Li Yiting said with a smile: "Hahaha, it's not so much a return to the hometown as a return to the original form." ”

Wan Yongkun just walked back to the two of them, and he also smiled when he heard the words, although this is Li Yiting's hometown, but he is really in a trance, among these people, the person who really "returned to his hometown" is him - a few years ago, he was still an out-and-out hunter, mud legs.

"Fourth brother, I think it should be called like a fish in water. He replied excitedly.

Chen Tianyu bowed his head knowingly, he could fully understand Wan Yongkun's mood, so he gently patted the young detective's shoulder, everything was silent.

Li Yiting suddenly proposed: "Come back this time, let's relax and relax, don't worry about anything, don't waste a rare vacation." He seemed to mean something else, but I'm afraid only Chen Tianyu understood this.

Naturally, other people don't have any opinions, and these perennial wanderers all understand: when they return to their familiar hometown, a lazy and relaxed mood will quietly grow, and Li Yiting is obviously no exception.

Chen Tianyu didn't break it, he beckoned to Kuangshuo from afar, Kuangsuo silently joined them, when a few people passed the falling bridge, Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue were still unaware, facing the outside of the bridge leaning on the stone fence to talk happily, happy.

The girls' nature of being close to nature is fully revealed.

When several big men walked the falling water bridge of about 30 meters and walked on the path by themselves, the two came back to their senses, and Shen Mingyue hurriedly said, "Sister Zichen, they are going to leave the two of us here." ”

"Let them go, the countryside is not a city, are you still afraid that you won't be able to find a home in Yiting?" Liu Zichen was not in a hurry, there were few roads in the countryside, and he knew where the village was at a glance.

Shen Mingyue is from the city, she didn't understand the truth, but felt that the road conditions were complicated.

"Let's go, too. Shen Mingyue turned her head to look, the backs of several big men were already a little blurred, and they were about to turn around the foot of the mountain and disappear from their field of vision.

Liu Zichen reluctantly left the stone fence he was leaning on, and nodded when he heard the words: "Don't worry, we can find it." Having said that, she still left the Falling Water Bridge and headed in a certain direction with Shen Mingyue.

After walking the sinkway bridge, it is a three-way intersection, and there is a one-meter-wide dirt road next to the main road, facing upwards, and intuitively this is the entrance to Li Village, although there are no other signs.

When the two came to this time, they inadvertently found a small two-story earthen house several meters high on the side of the road, the door of the house was open, and a rural woman in her sixties and seventies was looking at the two elegant ladies with great interest.

Liu Zichen smiled kindly at the old woman, but the old woman suddenly became serious and looked at them coldly, the wrinkles on her face already showed her age and experience, as well as her natural indifference.

Shen Mingyue said curiously: "Sister Zichen, what is this earthen house for?"

Liu Zichen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

The two were about to leave, but the old woman standing on the side of the road suddenly said, "Are you Xiaoting's friend?" She stared at Liu Zichen and said, which made people feel a little strange.

At first, the two didn't hear what she said, Liu Zichen reacted first, she stopped, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes...... Auntie knows a pavilion?"

"I watched him grow up, do you think I recognize him?" the old woman's tone was still cold, as if to emphasize something that was all too well known.

Shen Mingyue was a little strange, because she didn't see Li Yiting greeting the old woman.

Liu Zichen was not surprised, this situation is very common in the countryside, and people in the same village will not have too many polite words, she smiled when she heard this: "So that's the case, what is the aunt doing here?" She was also a little curious about the function of this earthen house.

"This is a small shop, do you want to buy some New Year's goods? You haven't been here for a long time. The old woman spoke in a different way, and there seemed to be a smile on her face.

Liu Zichen was stunned, she shook her head: "Uh...... Come back later. She didn't say no it outright, because she really had some idea of coming back and seeing.

The old woman nodded slightly, and said no more.

So the two of them continued to walk uphill, and after walking a few dozen meters, Shen Mingyue couldn't help but ask: "Sister Zichen, you see that there are not many people passing by, how could she open a convenience store here?"

Liu Zichen smiled: "This is not a convenience store, this is a supermarket." ”

"Oh. Shen Mingyue also understood that there was a lack of goods in the countryside, don't look at this small house, maybe there is really only such a "supermarket" in the entire Luoshui Village.

"Why do I think this boss lady has strange eyes when she looks at people?"

Liu Zichen nodded her forehead: "Think too much, you haven't been to the countryside, there are few outsiders here, and things are scarce." ”

"Really?" Shen Mingyue always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say why in the end.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

After walking the dirt road more than a meter wide, followed by a trail of about 30 centimeters, all the way uphill, several large men were waiting for them at the top of the slope, it seems that they are also afraid that these two first-time ladies will get lost.

However, at this time, there were not four people on the top of the slope, but more than a dozen.

Someone came to greet them, men, women and children, adults and children, these were naturally Li Yiting's family and friends, and they also looked at the two ladies who walked up slowly with kind eyes.

Liu Zichen subconsciously pulled Shen Mingyue's arm, and the two of them quickened their pace, someone greeted them, so they couldn't be so casual.

Thankfully, no one minds these little faux pas.

Li Yiting made a brief introduction for everyone, it turned out that in addition to his father Li Qihuai (his mother was Zhang Luo at home), there were also uncle Li Qisi, fifth uncle Li Qiumao, and sixth uncle Li Qiubin. The rest of the neighbors in the same village also introduced it by the way, but the two didn't remember it, let alone the juniors, and Li Yiting didn't know him very well.

Everyone knows that Li Yiting works in the government department in the city all the year round, and has an identity and status, but they don't know what to do, Li Yiting obviously doesn't want to explain more, and when he returns to his hometown, he prefers to be an ordinary person who is not in the limelight.

Of course, if others don't think so, that's another story.

After a brief introduction, a group of people bustling, talking and laughing forward, it seems that there is still a short distance from the village, the so-called mountain front to welcome guests, naturally to go outside the mountain, in order to show attention.

At this time, a young man in the crowd smiled and said to Li Yiting: "Brother Yiting, none of your friends seem to be ordinary people." ”

Liu Zichen glanced at the young man when she heard this, she looked at it unconsciously, this young man was dressed very simply, it seemed that he had just returned from the field, his hair was unkempt, and his clothes were still stained with muddy water. When Yiting introduced it just now, this person seemed to be his cousin, his name was Li Fuqi, that's right, the son of the fourth uncle, why didn't the fourth uncle come?

Sure enough, Li Yiting opened his mouth to confirm: "Fuqi, your vision is sharp, these are my new colleagues." ”

"It's an honor. Don't look at Li Fuqi looking old-fashioned, his words are polite and polite, and his speech is clear without dialects, he shook hands with everyone one by one, and when it was Liu Zichen's turn to be a lady, he hesitated slightly, or Liu Zichen took the initiative to reach out and shake it, as for Shen Mingyue, he finally avoided it intentionally or unintentionally.

Liu Zichen laughed secretly, it seems that this Li Fuqi should not have a family yet, and he is a little overwhelmed when he meets a beautiful girl.

Seeing this, Li Yiting added: "Don't look at Fuqi's soil, he is our village party secretary." ”

Everyone was surprised, and Li Fuqi scratched his head embarrassedly: "Brother Yiting, don't make fun of me." ”

"How dare I make fun of you, Omura-kan. Li Yiting gave him a cigarette and explained, "Fuqi is the only master's student in our village, a golden phoenix that is rare to see in a century." ”

"Oh?......" Chen Tianyu was also interested when he heard this, and he also paid special attention to this person, but he didn't say anything.

Li Yiting continued: "After graduating from Fuqi University, he didn't go anywhere, and resolutely gave up his good job in the city to return to his hometown to build a new countryside, and his consciousness is not lower than yours." ”

Li Fuqi still scratched his head and smirked, looking naïve and cute, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't help but laugh.

Wan Yongkun stretched out his thumb to express his appreciation, he admired the simple man in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and Li Fuqi also nodded at him meaningfully and did not speak.

"Brother Yiting, don't praise me, who in our Li Village doesn't know, you are the old-timer of our Li Village, who has gone the farthest and achieved the most. ”

Li Yiting reached out and patted him on the shoulder, acquiescing to his statement.

"Go home, I want to eat my mother's Huaishan soup. His eyes were unusually warm, the sharp divine light had long since disappeared, and his speech had become extremely gentle, and a long-lost emotion instantly filled his body, a feeling that only those who have traveled far away can experience.

Li Fuqi nodded when he heard this: "Erniang has long known that you are greedy, so she asked me to go up the mountain early this morning and dig dozens of catties of Huai Mountain, which is enough for you to eat for a while." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder this village party secretary was so embarrassed.

Li Yiting said movingly: "Fuqi, it's really hard for you." ”

"It's too much to say. Li Fuqi laughed, "What do you see this?" He took out a few objects with loess and long pointed whiskers from his wide coat pocket.

Li Yiting's eyes lit up: "Yo, winter bamboo shoots!"

At this moment, the president of Beiting, who has always been as strong as iron and fearless of life and death, completely melted into the strong nostalgia and returned to the original state of the countryside.

His eyes moistened unconsciously.

Everyone's emotions were also quietly infected, and nostalgia and New Year's flavor came unexpectedly!
