The breeze is blowing the bamboo forest, and the scenery outside the window has gradually become clear.

The bus began to slow down, and the checkpoint could already be seen through the window, because the police had been reported in advance, and some policemen were already waiting there with dedication, because this kind of thing happened, everyone had to be interrogated slightly, and they got off the car one after another, Zhou Zixuan pulled Liuli to stand at the back of the car, ready to leave at any time.

Zhou Zixuan was also a little depressed in his heart, he usually never dared to be in the limelight, but this time he finally did a good deed, but he fled the scene as if he had committed a crime, which was a little embarrassing. Ruri didn't care, and before getting out of the car, she was still sweeping through the empty snack bags to make sure that only the bags were left.

It's not so much to avoid waste, but rather to say that it's a foodie's quality.

After the long-distance bus stopped at the checkpoint, everyone paid attention to the thief who was pressed to the ground, dragging the thief out of the bus, you talked about it word by word, no one noticed that when they got off the bus together, the last two people had quietly left.

In a field, the two walked aimlessly. Watching the wind blow and the sun falling, the two of them had an indescribable bitterness in their hearts, and they got out of the car with a moment of excitement, but they didn't go to the village in front of them, and they couldn't go to the store in the back, where was the head, and they knew that they were hiding in the suitcase and waiting for the limelight to pass out.

"I said, how long is it left? This girl is hungry, and she won't let us sleep in the open at this meal. As soon as Liuli complained, she saw that the sun was about to go down.

Zhou Zixuan held a mobile phone in his hand, there was still a signal when he just got off the bus, and after following the navigation for a distance, he found that he had completely entered a state of no signal, not to mention that there was no network, and he couldn't even make a phone call, and said indifferently: "I don't know, according to the route of the bus, we only walked half of the journey, and it is unlikely that we want to go back, let's see what towns nearby can let us borrow for one night." Didn't you eat a lot of snacks in the car, why are you hungry again? ”

Zhou Zixuan was also a little embarrassed, he was rough and thick-skinned, and he felt a little guilty for starving the girl behind him. The natural scenery here is quite elegant, but as Ruri said, what's the use of not being able to eat.

"You see, I'm different from you, when I'm growing up, of course I'm hungry fast. Liuli didn't want to tell him about washing the marrow, her body is actually very weak now, and she needs a lot of energy to support the internal circulation in her body, and food is the best supplement.

After listening to this, Zhou Zixuan looked at his own body, as if he had really become stronger after such a journey, but his height had not yet reached his ideal goal, as a sunny boy, if he didn't have enough height, he would always look a little imperfect.

Said stupidly: "I seem to be the age of the body" Listening to her words, it seems that he is already old, he doesn't want to age so fast, and there are still many things that have not been done to get old, it would be miserable.

While chatting and walking, after walking for about an hour, the two finally saw a fruit and vegetable planting field, and Liuli really wanted to eat the unripe and yellowish vegetables directly into her stomach. She has lived alone in Fengling Valley for so many years, and she is not picky about food, as long as she can eat, just be full.

Lying outside the vegetable garden, some drooling glass, her eyes were raised, her eyes were very good, and she saw a light in the distance. Happily pointing to a village-like place in the distance and saying, "Hey, you see there's a light over there." ”

Although it was not completely dark, and the remnant sun still hung idly on the horizon, she was already a little tired, and if she had already lay down in her cabin, she had slept well.

"It looks like a small village, I don't know if there are any hotels. Let's go check it out and see if we can sell us some food, and even better if we have transportation. Zhou Zixuan had paid attention to the road signs on the bus before, and he had also used his mobile phone to read the navigation, and he probably judged that the nearest town should be Ganxi Town.

Since there are crops growing in this village, you can always go back to the town with the cart that transports the vegetables, so that you can go back as soon as possible. I'm going to stay for one night, and I'm going to ask tomorrow, and I have to keep an eye on it, what if I encounter a 'cake-cutting' incident here and be slaughtered?

The mountain village surrounded by mountains is like a sleeping baby in the cradle, and there is no place that does not ooze the tranquility, tranquility and warmth of the mountain village. On the whole, it is a small village of less than 100 people, and the village is a little dilapidated, and it looks a little intolerant of wind and rain, as if a heavy rain may be dripping.

Zhou Zixuan didn't have time to visit, he was looking everywhere, and he just wanted to find someone to ask first. Fortunately, I didn't walk long before I saw a woman by the river who was holding a washboard and scrubbing her clothes vigorously, trotting over.

He asked, "This sister, may I ask if there is a hotel in this village, my brother and sister went out to play, got lost here, want to stay for one night, and leave tomorrow." ”

When the woman who was washing the clothes heard them, she stopped washing her hand, frowned, and asked, "Are you from out of town?"

"Well, we are from Hengyang, and we want to go to Xiangnan, is there anything wrong?" Zhou Zixuan looked puzzled, not understanding why this woman looked at them for the first time, with some disgust in her eyes, listening to her tone, there was still a little resistance to outsiders, is there any special rules here?

The woman looked at the two of them, and saw that they didn't seem to be lying, so she stretched her eyebrows and said, "There are no inns, and no one will stay here on weekdays." ”

It is also said that a remote village like this has only one name on the map, and it is not easy for anyone to find out, let alone build a hotel.

Seeing that the two of them had a difficult look on their faces, the woman said softly: "My uncle's house has some vacant rooms, and it is idle on weekdays, if you don't mind the bad environment, you can stay." ”

The woman stood up and hung her laundry on the pole, her face was delicate and she looked quiet, and she didn't talk much.

"Ah, thank you, sister, I don't know how much it costs to stay for one night?" Zhou Zixuan was a little excited, as long as there is a place to hide, it is always good.

The woman stopped, turned her head and looked at him coldly, and said, "People in your city, are you all money when you open and close your mouth?"

"Uh" Zhou Zixuan didn't know how to offend this girl, didn't he always negotiate the price first when he was looking for a homestay outside, why was it wrong this time? I remembered that many people are a kind of hatred for the rich, but he is not rich either, he just wants to be polite, seeing her attitude, he had to say: "Sister, I'm sorry, then we're welcome." ”

The woman looked at Zhou Zixuan's frank apology, and took a long breath, "That's it, we won't ask for money, it's just an empty house, and you don't want to mention money, if it causes uncle's displeasure, please leave." ”

"Okay, we must pay more attention" Zhou Zixuan nodded. "Excuse me, sister, where is this, how far is it from Ganxi Town?"

"This is Jinjue Village, I don't know how far it is from the town, you can ask Uncle. After the woman had dried her clothes, she cleaned them up and showed them the way.

Seeing that she didn't like to talk, Zhou Zixuan didn't ask again, it was already great that people could kindly provide a place to live. Liuli also followed Zhou Zixuan's side, silent, and her mind was already occupied with the desire for food.

This one after the other went to the villagers' residences, this way, just a dozen meters, just like a primeval forest, there are some ruins left at some time, very desolate.

When she came to the wooden door of a small courtyard, the woman knocked lightly on the doorway a few times and said, "Uncle, it's me, someone is passing by and wants to spend the night." ”

The woman knocked on the dilapidated wooden door again, and after a while, an old man opened the door, "Jingjing, you are back" and then looked at the two of them again, and asked, "How many are you?"

The one who opened the door was an old man who was over the age of six, his right leg was still a little lame, and he walked like a drunken old man.

Welcomed a few people into the house, sat around the wooden table, and the woman who was called quietly walked to the kitchen and got busy, Zhou Zixuan also said their intentions and requests, I thought that I would explain it to a good student, but I didn't think that the other party agreed directly, and I couldn't help but admire the simplicity of the folk customs.

If they offered to stay at someone else's house for one night, they would definitely be regarded as a burglar who wanted to break into the house.

"There are some coarse tea and light rice, if you don't dislike it, let's eat some too. "Quietly served two plates of dishes, a bucket of rice and a pot of wine. They don't have big fish and meat, but they still have simple green vegetables and rice, and they don't care if they want a few more pairs of chopsticks.

"Don't dislike, don't dislike" Liuli is really hungry, as soon as the dishes are served, he used to eat these vegetables all year round in Fengling Valley, after eating a few bites, his mouth was covered with vegetable leaves and said with satisfaction: "It tastes good."

Zhou Zixuan looked at Liuli's happy appearance, a little embarrassed, people are so entertaining, according to inertial thinking, how can you be polite, no matter how bad it is, let the family move the chopsticks first.

"Why, this younger brother, don't you look down on these simple meals" quietly glanced at Zhou Zixuan, who was still hesitating, and asked softly. Compared with Zhou Zixuan's cautious and hesitant people, they seem to prefer Liuli's temperament, straightforward.

"No, no. Zhou Zixuan also hurriedly moved his chopsticks, afraid that people would misunderstand, and he was always a little puzzled in his heart, saying that when he went to a strange place, he should be polite enough, and he was humble A little like this, is a gentleman very unpopular?

Both of them have been hungry all afternoon, and they are all gobbling up, and they no longer care about their image.

Jing Jing glanced at her uncle, shook her head with a smile, and started dinner.

"Why did you two come here? In such a remote place, since I was middle-aged, few people have set foot in it" The old man took out a pot of home-brewed wine and poured it for himself and Zhou Zixuan.

Zhou Zixuan wanted to refuse for Liuli, it's not good for a girl to drink outside, and it's even worse if she gets drunk, but looking at Liuli's eager look, she didn't stop it, plus the aroma of wine is really strong.

Zhou Zixuan naturally didn't tell the truth, and could only lie that they were hikers who got lost here, which may be a bit unbelievable in the north, but there are really many people in the south, and even many people in their twilight years have joined the cycling team to see the scenery of mountains and rivers.

None of them doubted it, but instead told the two young men. Zhou Zixuan drank a few glasses of the farmer's home-brewed wine, which had a different flavor compared to the strong and sauce-flavored ones he had drunk.

At the beginning, Zhou Zixuan was still a little embarrassed, and slowly let go of the wine, this night said a lot, the family is very interested in the life of the city, even the glass on the side is eating and pricking up his ears to listen, he told them some interesting things that happened in school, and the roommate's daily life was also narrated, Jing Jing once showed a yearning in his eyes, but then returned to normal.

"Uncle, if you drink too much wine, you will hurt yourself. Quietly watched the old man beside him drink cup by cup, and hurriedly stopped.

The old man waved his hand, today he heard those interesting things in the city, he was very happy, he has lived all his life, has been moving forward, but in the end he still did not get out of this mountain village, sighed: "Home, it has not been so lively for a long time, this day is still more lively!"

The old man laughed, put another glass of wine into his stomach, and read, "Wine burns his throat, his heart does not die, and he lives endlessly." ”

Zhou Zixuan and Liuli glanced at each other, listening to the old man's words and the sad tone, they also found that this somewhat deserted home seemed to have a story and a lively one, although the village was small, but these two were also sad people.

Different people, different roads, different lives, different actions, Zhou Zixuan didn't know what had happened here, but he thought, after he went back, he would help this place do more publicity on the Internet, the track of the times, moving forward at a rapid pace, there is already too much backwardness here, and there is no place to reason after suffering here, if this is a big city like Xiangnan, there may be a lot of sadness that has happened, and it no longer exists.

Matter is not the only criterion that determines thinking, but material things will make life better.

Jingjing's face did not change, but compared to Fang Cai, there was more reminiscence, and then he poured a glass for the old man, and he didn't want to persuade him, as he said, her uncle hadn't drunk so much wine for a long time since that day.

It's rare to get drunk a few times in life, hurt your body, and get drunk once, so what's the matter.
