The next day, the sun rises in the east, and when the first rays of sunlight fall on the earth, it seems to put on a layer of red clothes for the desolate desert, which is beautiful.

I slept very late last night, and in the second half of the night, there was dew, and the air circulation in the cave was almost the same, so everyone went in to sleep, and there were not many people who could get up in the morning to enjoy the sunrise, counting Li Yadong and Su Wei, there were only four in total.

"It's beautiful. In the early morning, there was still a little chill in the northwest, Su Wei was wearing a slightly white green coat, her hands were around her chest, and she looked at the mountains and endless desert in the distance, her eyes were foggy.

Li Yadong stood beside him and nodded: "The world only knows the vastness of the sea, but ignores the magnificence of the desert. ”

"You seem to have been to many places?" Su Wei tilted her neck to look at him, somehow, the more she came into contact, the more she felt that the person around her was like a mystery.

"Well, a lot of ......" Li Yadong smiled, but didn't explain too much.

There was a "bleating" sound in the distance, and when I turned my head to look, it turned out to be an early shepherdessman who was driving her flock to the desert and began a day of grazing.

"You have joined the poetry club for so long, and I haven't seen the poems you wrote, don't you have a little understanding of this situation?"

"Yes. Li Yadong smiled.

"Oh?" Su Wei looked at him with interest, looking like she was waiting for the next step.

"The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. ”

Su Wei was instantly annoyed, "Is this yours?"

Li Yadong laughed, "Miss Su, in this situation, I don't think there is anything more appropriate than this sentence, what do you think?"

Su Wei was stunned, speechless, as if it was true.

Today is destined to be a day of hard work, the first arrival, and self-reliance, everything has to be purchased, the problem of eating is the first to be solved, after all, if the stomach is not full, where does the heart send love to the landscape.

It is also impractical to go to the villager's house to eat every day, one is limited financial resources, and the other is inconvenient to disturb, so everyone discussed it and simply opened the fire themselves.

After everyone got up in the morning, Xiao Feng took a few boys to Ma Zhishu's house, in order to borrow some pots and pans and buy some rice and noodles by the way.

As for the others, there was also a division of labor, some of them went to the nearby mountains to collect firewood, and some of them stayed outside the cave to build stoves with mud.

It was definitely impossible to cook today, so Xiao Feng asked people to send a basket of potatoes back first, which the locals called artichoke. So yes, their breakfast is baked potatoes, eighty percent at noon, and it is estimated that it is still in the evening.

The real hard days are about to begin.

Li Yadong's job is to collect firewood, this is the most unskilled job, everyone seems to be interested in taking care of him, he doesn't have any ideas, let him pick up firewood, take Guo Qi around the nearby mountain, dozens of catties of dry firewood are in place, it is estimated that it is enough to burn for several days.

"Brother Dong, why are you going to go?" Guo Qi's physical strength is not as good as his, three or two hours back and forth on the mountain road, he is already tired enough, and after coming back, he moved a Mazha sent by a warm-hearted fellow countryman, and he didn't want to move when he sat outside.

"It's okay, you can rest, I'll go around the village. ”

Li Yadong is a serious 800 actionist, since the big words have been released, if you want to take Guo Qi and Su Wei to eat and drink spicy food, you naturally have to take action, he checked on the nearby hill when he was picking up firewood just now, and there are indeed traces of small prey wandering, these experiences are learned from his third brother Li Yajun, when he was a child, he always liked to follow his ass around the mountains, but he never practiced it.

But don't worry, everything has a first time, and the experience of living two lifetimes tells Li Yadong that the reason why successful people can succeed is that they must first dare to try and dare to look down on all problems. It's like when Li Jili said: What is a car, isn't a car just a sofa and four wheels? At that time, many people laughed at him for being stupid, laughing at him for not being able to do anything, and look, now he didn't build the same car.

How bold people are, how productive the land is - this sentence is not rough, and it is actually applicable at any time.

Yesterday came late, did not take a good look at Dalong Village, Li Yadong walked along the yellow mud dirt road to take a look, finally have some understanding of this barren village, about the size of more than 40 households, all the loess caves, in a stepped distribution on a bare hill, a dirt road spiraling upward, at the top position, Li Yadong saw a courtyard wall, there was a bright five-star red flag fluttering inside, guessing that it should be a school.

It is not difficult to see from the geographical location of the school that its status in the whole village is transcendent, just like the seven big characters painted with white paint on the courtyard wall - education is the foundation of the country.

Knowledge is the ladder of human progress, and talent is essential for a place to get rid of poverty.

Being able to see a school in such a barren mountain village and see the importance that the local people attach to education, Li Yadong is always a little excited in his heart, after all, he is also a teacher, but he forgives him for having too many dry goods in his head in his life, and he can no longer contribute to the education of the motherland.

He decided that he had to go up and have a look when he had time, but today, that wasn't his purpose.

Along the way, every time he passes by the door of the villager's house, there will always be someone who warmly beckons him to go over and sit, he is not polite, sit and sit, and will take out the Ashima in his pocket, but most of the villagers do not answer.

In the house of Liu Laohan, who heard that he was a hunter when he was young, Li Yadong sat for a while, and when he took out his cigarette, Liu Laohan smiled and waved his hand: "I can't get used to this, don't waste it." ”

As he spoke, he went into the cave and took out a copper pipe, and skillfully took out the kind of tobacco that he had grown from the small black bag tied to the cigarette stick, and filled it into the pipe and lit it.

Sun Weiguo also has one of these things, but Li Yadong has carefully observed that his one is not pure copper, which is far less rare than the one in Liu Laohan's hands.

"Old man, let me ask, there are mountain goods around here, right?"

"Yes, yes......" After Liu Laohan smashed a puff of dry smoke, he slowed down his speech as much as possible and said: "There used to be more, but now there are less, there are only some rabbits and roe deer left, and the rest are hiding in the desert." ”

Li Yadong thought that it was enough to have rabbits and roe deer, but he was really a little stunned by the big guy, and asked, "Is it easy to catch?"

Liu Laohan shook his head and said, "It's not good to scratch, it's all fine." ”

Li Yadong chatted with him for a long time, and learned that they used to use clay guns for hunting, Liu Laohan even asked Li Yadong if he wanted it, as if he could immediately bring him out a handful, Li Yadong waved his hand again and again, I heard that that thing is easy to go off, and he still wants to live a few more years, and he won't use it.

However, although Li Yadong didn't ask for it, he asked Liu Laohan for a little wire, he asked every family along the way, some people have it, some people don't, it's not a valuable thing, but now he has a lot of it, enough to make a few iron clips.
