Chapter 10 The First Walking Tractor

Most of the people in the village have never been out of the mountains for generations, and from the time they were born, they only saw the sky, the land, the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers, pigs and dogs, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, and the men who were full of foul language, the chattering mothers-in-law, and the children rolling in the sloppy soil. In their eyes, the endless sky and the vast earth are the world they know and belong to, and what the world of the people outside the mountains is like has nothing to do with them.

The electricity in the village has turned the whole village upside down, and they seem to have moved from primitive to civilized. At night, every house in the village is lit up with lights and stars, decorating the night of the mountain village, making the village a little more vibrant. While people are immersed in the happiness that the light has come, disaster occurs unexpectedly, and the dog and the baby die, and the young life is taken by the reservoir of the power station. The children in the mountains are used to being wild, and when they see the pond in summer, they can't help but want to go down to take a bath, completely ignoring the warning on the warning sign of the power station: danger, no going into the water.

On this day, the dog baby and a few partners frolicked in the reservoir of the power station, none of them knew that the danger was close at hand, the god of death quietly opened his arms, the dog baby and his partners were like a tail fish, frolicking in the water is happy, the dog baby got into the water to avoid fighting, but he dived into the bottom and never came out. The partners hurriedly dived to the bottom of the water to look for it, and saw that half of the dog's body was sucked into the pipe, they tried to save him, but in vain, the dogbaby was buried in the new things of social development. Since then, the people of the village have developed a sense of respect and awe for new things.

The years go by, and it is the New Year, this is the most hopeful day of the year for adults and even children in the mountain village, only on such days, they can eat fat pork, this is the happiest moment of the year, whenever this time, they will sigh, such a life is really satisfying, alive, really good!

Most of the people in the village have pigs at home, and when the New Year is approaching, every household will kill the pigs, and then invite the neighbors to their homes to have a lively time. On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the Tie Dan family killed the pigs. Tie Dan happily invited Shanzi to his house as a guest, he ran to Shanzi's house with a spring breeze on his face, Shanzi's house was as cold as ever, only a few half-sized chickens were strolling leisurely in the yard. He ran into the house, snatched the book from Shanzi's hand with one hand, and said, "Shanzi, go quickly, go to my house for dinner, my family has killed the New Year's pig!"

"I'm still not going!" Yamako snatched the book and buried his head.

"Shanzi, what's wrong with you? I've been looking forward to this day for a year, why aren't you happy?"

"Nothing. Really, you go back!" Shanzi opened the book and continued to read.

"Let's go, no matter what you're for, you have to go today!" Tie Dan grabbed Shanzi's arm and dragged him up, Shanzi was thin and had no power to resist at all, so he had to let Tie Dan pull him out.

Walking out of the courtyard gate, Shanzi suddenly said: "Tiedan, your family invites me to kill pigs, and when the chickens I raise grow up, when I kill chickens, I invite your family." ”

"What? are you doing this?" Tie Dan snorted, Shanzi blushed, and after a while, he said: "Killing the New Year's pig for a treat is a way for every household in the village to exchange courtesies, and it is only at this time that the people in the village can get together like a family, but there are no pigs in my family......"

"Alas...... You let me say what you are good about!" Tie Dan sighed, pulled Shanzi and quickened his pace, the smell of oily meat stirred his stomach full of roundworms in his stomach, churning into the sea. A cold wind blew, and Tie Dan's mind cleared up a lot, and he felt that as an iron buddy, he should maintain Shanzi's self-esteem. He said, "Okay, when the chickens you raise grow up, please me, and my father!"

Shanzi's steps became brisk, he no longer felt that he was going to eat for nothing, he would also be the host, and he would do his best.

Before the feast was opened, Tie Dan stole two big bones from the stove house, he pulled Shanzi to hide in the house, stuffed Shanzi with the largest one with more meat, and then couldn't wait to gnaw it with relish. When Shanzi saw his appearance, he couldn't help laughing, he couldn't resist the temptation, and he also gulped down this hard-won and long-lost taste. The iron egg finished gnawing the flesh on the bones, and sucked the bones back and forth again, still unfinished, and added the oil stains on his hands clean. Then, he said, "Shanzi." It's so delicious...... It's the best I've ever had!"

Hearing this, Shanzi's eyes instantly moistened, and for a while, he remembered his grandmother and remembered too many past events in his immature life.

Good days always pass quickly, and the New Year is over in a blink of an eye, and people are still immersed in the happiness and satisfaction of the New Year.

About half a year later, one day, there was a sudden ...... in the village The sudden sound, from far and near, shocked the people in the village, and worried couldn't help but arise. They ran from all directions to the halfway point of the mountain, and looked out like the only narrow mountain road in the mountains, which was too far away, and they saw only a man sitting on a strange thing, marching towards the village. They talked a lot, and some said, "Mo is the sky has changed again?"

"Ah, aren't there no bandits?

"Isn't it someone who came to investigate? Mo Shi, he is only one person, we will detain him, and if we can't kill him!"

Before anyone could figure out why, the voices were getting closer and closer, and everyone was staring nervously and intently at it until they could see who it was.

"Isn't that the Zhiguo of the Li Lao Wu family?

"Impossible, Zhiguo is a good baby, don't slander him!

"Zhiguo is back...... Fifth Brother ...... Fifth brother, your family Zhiguo is back......" someone shouted. Juan'er's father and mother ran halfway up the mountain when they heard the sound, they saw it so clearly, it was really Zhiguo who was back, he held the handrail of the strange thing with both hands, and his face was full of joy. Juan'er's father and mother burst into tears in an instant, and they ran down the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The people of the village also followed behind and rushed down the hill.

On the way to the entrance of the village, a group of people blocked Zhiguo, frightened and frightened, and did not dare to step forward. Zhiguo jumped down from the strange thing, he explained to everyone: "This thing is called a walk-behind tractor, with it, it is no longer difficult for people in the village to go out of the mountain, no longer have to walk for a few hours to the township to catch the market, sit on it, both time and effort......"

When the people in the village heard Zhiguo's explanation, their tense hearts finally relaxed. As they approached to see it, they all reached out and touched this novelty, which was a feast for their eyes in addition to the electric light, and their hands felt cold. Someone asked, "Zhiguo, what is this made of?"

"It's made by Tieba. Zhiguo replied.

"Oops...... Incredible!"

Someone couldn't wait to climb onto the tractor and said, "Zhiguo, are you pulling us back? Let's see if this iron thing is comfortable!" Hearing this, everyone scrambled to climb up until the tractor's body was crowded with people, like wheat seedlings in the field, dense, and some people were like weeds in the wheat field, insisting on squeezing up. Zhiguo helped his mother into the passenger seat and said to everyone: "Don't panic, I'll make two more trips to pick everyone up." Dad, you're behind them......"

Zhiguo took the handle and shook it vigorously a few times, and the tractor made a lively sound.

Dodo...... Dodo...... A puff of black smoke rose and flew towards the sky, and the tractor was full of chirping people, all the way forward.
