was about to push the door and get out of the car, when they suddenly saw a big black dog stop outside the car, and the three stopped pushing the door. Cao Yukun tugged on the door handle tightly, for fear that the car door would suddenly open.

"Big Black, come here. With a shout, an old man walked out of the courtyard.

The big black dog immediately left the car and approached the man.

Chu Tianqi got out of the car and walked towards the man. He noticed that the other party was about 50 years old, wearing a gray shirt on his upper body, a pair of dark gray labor cloth pants on his legs, and yellow rubber shoes on his feet.

The old man was also staring at the big man walking towards him, and he also looked into the 212 car.

Before coming, Chu Tianqi said: "Excuse me, are you Director Shao of the village committee?"

"I'm Shao Xu, the village director. The old man nodded, and then asked rhetorically, "You are Teacher Chu from the Municipal Agricultural Research Institute, right?"

"Yes. I'm Chu Tianqi, please take care of Director Shao. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi stretched out his right hand.

Shao Xu wiped his clothes and grabbed Chu Tianqi's hand: "Director Liu has arranged for the village to fully cooperate with Teacher Chu." ”

At this time, Cao Yukun and Pei Xiaojun also got out of the car and came closer.

Chu Tianqi pointed at Cao and Pei: "Director Shao, this is Boss Cao, this is Boss Pei." ”

Cao and Pei are the same, and when they look at each other, they can't help but wonder: When did they become bosses?

Shao Xu spoke: "Welcome to the two bosses, welcome to experience rural life." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome. ”

"Well said, well said. ”

Cao and Pei didn't know what to do, and responded vaguely to the village director.

After a brief greeting, Shao Xu led everyone towards the courtyard. When passing by the courtyard gate, Chu Tianqi and the other three all stared at the wooden sign at the door, and they all silently recited the text on it in their hearts: Yanggu Village Committee of Danan Township, Qiaoshan County.

The courtyard is not large, but it is very neat, and the walls of the courtyard are also very shapely, and the ground is paved with irregular flat stones. There are three houses in the courtyard, all of which are made of stone, but unlike the courtyard walls, the walls are filled with cement through the cracks.

Walking into the outhouse, a burst of coolness suddenly hit, which was very comfortable.

Shao Xu led the three of them to the West House, invited the three of them to sit on the chairs, and made tea for the three of them.

The furnishings of the room are simple, a wooden table, four wooden chairs, a wooden roll cabinet, and the floor is solid earth.

Seeing Cao Yukun staring at the chair and frowning, refusing to sit down for a long time, Chu Tianqi motioned for the other party to sit down.

Cao Yukun glared at Chu Tianqi and sat down on the "black and bright" chair in fear.

Seeing that Shao Xu finished making tea, Chu Tianqi took out a letter of introduction from his bag, showed it to the other party, and put it away again. Then he asked, "Director Shao, when did our experiential life start and where did we experience it?"

"Don't be in a hurry, eat first. With that, Shao Xu stood up, "You wait, I'll do it." ”

Chu Tianqi said: "Director Shao, let's go directly to the experience point and eat again, it's not too late." ”

"Eat first, and then you'll have to walk later. The noodles are all out and out, and it will be fine in a while. With that, Shao Xu walked out of the house.

Picked up the cup and drank two sips, his mouth was slightly bitter, but also a hint of coolness, Chu Tianqi felt that this was very similar to a kind of homemade tea in his hometown. When I was in Liulinbao, at the beginning of summer every year, my father would take down the flowers and leaves on the stem of a medicinal herb, dry them and make tea to drink, this homemade tea leaves cool off the heat, and most people in the village drank it.

Putting down the cup in his hand, Chu Tianqi realized that the water in the cups of the two was still full, and there were black, green or yellow-black tea leaves floating on the water surface. He smiled slightly and said softly: "This tea can be put on fire, drink more to save sores on the mouth and nose." ”

Cao Yukun glanced at the outhouse, closed the door casually, and said, "Old Chu, look at this cup and this water, how do you drink it?"

Chu Tianqi pointed to the water cup: "Lao Cao, this is rare and strange for you, like this kind of enamel cup, which was particularly common in the seventies and eighties of the last century, which is not only easy to carry, but also not easy to damage." Now these things are very rare, and you are lucky to see them, and you should not miss this luck. ”

"Lucky one...... According to you, this cup is older than I am. You look at how much the paint on it has fallen off, and then look at the color inside the cup, I don't know how many people have used it. You think, so many people's saliva ...... It's disgusting to think about. Cao Yukun looked disgusted.

"What river to cross and take off what shoes, people can't be too hypocritical, otherwise it is themselves who will suffer. I can drink more, I'm afraid of getting angry. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi picked up the enamel cup and drank a few sips.

"Do as the locals do. Pei Xiaojun said, picked up the cup, closed his breath and took two sips. After drinking, the bar smacked his mouth twice, took a few more sips, and his frowning brow relaxed.

Cao Yukun swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, but still did not pick up the enamel cup, but took out his own crystal cup from his bag and poured boiling water into it. After taking a sip of water, he muttered, "It's too astringent, it's unpleasant." ”

After the sound of pots and bowls colliding and the sound of hair dryers, Shao Xu made lunch, which was cornmeal pasted and boiled vegetables.

The cornmeal tortillas were golden and golden, exuding a strong grain fragrance, and the three of them ate very fragrant with the big dishes. Chu Tianqi was a little strange, strange why Cao Yukun was not a picky eater. Immediately, he understood that Cao Yukun drank almost all of his alcohol last night and didn't eat much, and he drank gruel again this morning, and he must be hungry by now, and the corncakes are indeed very fragrant.

……

After lunch, according to Shao Xu's proposal, the 212 car was parked in the courtyard of the village committee, and the necessary things were brought with them, and Chu Tianqi and the other three followed Shao Xu out of the village committee.

When I first came out of the village committee, there was still a road under my feet, and as I walked, it all turned into a wadi bay, and there were stones everywhere, and stepping on it made a "click, click" sound. Wadi Bay is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is no way to see that it can be inhabited.

Shao Xu was accustomed to the environment here, and walked with his hands behind his back and very freely.

Chu Tianqi was born in the countryside since he was a child, and he has not taken this kind of road less, coupled with the physique of a martial artist, it is no problem to take this kind of road at all.

Pei and Cao are bitter, the two have never lived this kind of life, even if they go to tourist spots to play, they only get off at scenic spots, and they really can't sit on a sedan chair or slide bar that is carried manually. Compared with Pei Xiaojun, Cao Yukun is much more bitter, and his weight is there.

Although walking behind, Cao Yukun also gasped from time to time, was hit by a stone chip for a while, and almost collapsed for a while. At the beginning, he may have been afraid of having outsiders present, but he tried his best to hold it and not make a sound. Later, I didn't care about it at all, either "ouch" or muttered endlessly.

Looking back, Chu Tianqi said to Shao Xu, "Director Shao, I'm smiling." The two bosses had never been to such a place, and they were not used to it for a while. ”

"Nothing, normal. People have been born in a secret pot since childhood, and the gold is very expensive, unlike us mountain people. Shao Xu said as he walked, "You people in the city are also strange, life is good, why do you have to go to this place to experience life, what is there to experience?"

"Boss Cao and Boss Pei are both big bosses, and they have been to all the good places, and they also want to see backward places. Chu Tianqi said, "You may find business opportunities, or engage in charity." ”

"Business opportunities? There are poor mountains and rivers everywhere, what business opportunities can there be?" Shao Xu disagreed, "It is also ...... for many people to engage in charity"

"Ouch. A shout came.

Chu Tianqi looked back and saw Cao Yukun sitting on the ground with his hands and feet in his hands, and Pei Xiaojun sitting next to him. He nodded at Shao Xu and ran over quickly.

Cao Yukun's face was covered with sweat stains and his expression was painful, and when he saw Chu Tianqi coming, he complained: "Old Chu, what kind of broken place did you choose, there is not even a road, how can you investigate?"

"It's not research, it's about experiencing life. Chu Tianqi lowered his voice, "Pay attention to your image, you are a big boss." ”

"Boss, that wasn't arranged by you?" Cao Yukun wiped the sweat on his face, "So, you two go to the villagers' homes to experience, and I go to the village committee to experience it, okay?"

"How can you do that? Originally, I was talking about accompanying you to experience, how can you not go? You just blew with the village chief, and the cow blew the mountain. Chu Tianqi said, "Besides, if you look back, now that you have walked so far, if you go back again, isn't it more tiring and panicking?"

Cao Yukun glanced back, the muscles on his face moved, and he said angrily: "My foot was smashed again just now, I can't walk anyway, or you can carry me." ”

"You're a big person, and you're not ashamed. After the reprimand, Chu Tianqi chose to compromise, "Okay, okay, you get up, I'll hold you." As he spoke, he bent down and went to help the other person.

After some effort, with Chu Tianqi's support, Cao Yukun stood up, his left hand was on Chu Tianqi's shoulder, and his whole body leaned against the other party.

"It's just a pig", after teasing, Chu Tianqi held Cao Yukun, Pei Xiaojun followed on the side, and the three of them ran forward to Shao Xu, who was waiting.

Soon after the people converged, they came to the bottom of a dirt slope.

Shao Xu pointed with his hand: "The sheep intestine village is on it." As he spoke, he walked up a slope as thin as a sheep's intestines.

"Let's go. Cao Yukun turned his face and bared his teeth at Chu Tianqi.

Saying the word "go" angrily, Chu Tianqi picked up Cao Yukun and walked up.

Although the road was full of rocks just now, not only was it bumpy, but there were often stones hitting the ankle bones, but it was a flat road after all. And now that it is completely uphill, with such a big "meat bag" on his body, Chu Tianqi also struggled. I had to use my hands and feet at the same time, grasping the small trees or shrubs next to me from time to time, trying to maintain my body balance, and moving forward with difficulty.

With Shao Xu's help from time to time, after no less than twenty minutes of crawling, Chu Tianqi and the others finally reached the top of the slope. Standing on the top of the slope, as far as the eye can see, there are gray huts scattered in the distance.

Shao Xu pointed with his right hand: "This is Yanggu Village, and the courtyard of the village committee was built later." In the past, there were a total of 30 or 40 families in Yanggu Village, but later they moved and moved out, and only 17 families remained. Among the seventeen families, most of the young and strong laborers have gone out to work, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in the family......
