The car drove out for dozens of miles, and Ouyang Xin broke the silence in the car, opened his lips and said, "This is the little lover you are talking about?" Li Rui smiled dryly and said, "That's to tease you, but if you really want to talk about it, I treat her as a daughter, isn't my daughter my father's little lover in my father's previous life, I'm not wrong to say so." Ouyang Xin nodded, stared at him sideways, and said, "You are a good person." Li Rui was praised by her, but he was embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly: "I want to be a good person, but I haven't done enough." Ouyang smiled happily and said, "If the wild vegetable project can be successful, I will use the proceeds of the project to set up a fund for caring for left-behind children, even if all the profits for a whole year are invested, I will do this good thing with you." ”

Li Rui's heart was greatly touched when he heard this, and he took the time to look at her. Ouyang Xin was also looking at him, and the two glanced at each other, smiling knowingly, feeling that the friendship between them was deeper.

The speed of the car was fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at Hanshui County, and after passing through the city, it drove north for more than 20 miles, and gradually entered the mountainous area. The mountain road has been transformed from a national highway into a rural secondary road, a two-way, two-lane asphalt road. There aren't too many cars on this road, and you only run into one or two after driving a few kilometers. The surrounding mountains have slowly emerged, from far and near, until they pass all the way, if you use the car as a reference for not moving, it seems that the mountains on both sides are speeding over.

If it is a sunny day, surrounded by mountains, there is a blue sky and white clouds, there are mountains and rivers, the scenery should be very beautiful, it can definitely make people feel refreshed, but unfortunately it is cloudy today, so the scenery is a little bit worse than the taste.

When the car arrived here, it had already arrived at Ouyang Xin's intended destination, Shijiafen Village, Matou Town, Li Rui did not need to go north, but entered Shijiafen Village to the west, and the mountains where Ouyang Xin wanted to inspect the wild vegetables were just north of the village. If you go further north, you will enter the mountains of the Taihang branch, where the scenery is of course more beautiful, but the two of them are not really traveling in the spring this time, but coming to investigate and investigate, so they still have to focus on business.

Under the guidance of Ouyang Xin, Li Rui drove into the intersection of Shijiafen Village and entered a main road in the village. The village road is about three meters wide, narrow and cramped, and can pass a small car. If the opposite direction of the car, the two cars will be blocked on the road, no one can walk, although there are a lot of alleys or forks on the side of the road, but the alley and the fork are very small, can not be used to temporarily avoid the parking of the opposite car. Li Rui was worried that there would be a car coming from the opposite side, so he drove rapidly.

Seeing this, Ouyang Xin hurriedly asked him to slow down, and persuaded him: "Driving in this village is different from driving in the city, children in the village run everywhere, maybe they jump out of an alley and run onto the road, if you can't brake, it will be miserable." We are not locals, and if there is an accident here, no one can save us, and we will definitely be ridiculed by the people in the village. Even if it's not a child, a dog or a chicken, if someone bumps into it in person, we'll be in trouble. Li Rui smiled and said: "Don't they all say that the people in the mountains are simple and kind? Can they do things that slander people?" Ouyang Xin said: "I don't know that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people?"

Li Rui smiled and nodded, slowed down and walked slowly, carefully guarding against the people or animals that might run out of the houses of the mountain people in the left and right alleys, and drove all the way over with fear, but it was safe and sound.

At this time, you can already see the scene in front of you, but you can see that in the deepest and northernmost part of the village, there is a hillside. The hillside in front is not high, only seventy or eighty meters, and then the mountain gradually rises, until it is up and down several hundred meters, and then it is endless, you can't see the edge at a glance, I don't know if it leads to the primitive old forest of Taihang Mountain. It was the warm spring time, the apricot and pear blossoms were blooming, everything had been revived, and the hillside was blue and black, as if it was covered with moss, and occasionally dotted with a dazzling white apricot tree or a pink pear tree.

Ouyang Xin pointed to the blue and black color on the hillside and shouted, "That's it, you see, there are wild vegetables in it." Li Rui said in surprise: "Why is that color?" Ouyang Xin said: "Which color? Do you mean the color is dark? The wild vegetables are all dark in color, which shows that the nutrient content in them is high." ”

Li Rui is a pure layman to the wild vegetables, Ouyang Xin believes whatever he says, drives all the way, and soon arrives at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is very flat, that is, ordinary land, east and west are connected to sit a row of mountain people's courtyards, roughly counting about five or six households, among them there is a deserted courtyard, there is no wall, there is only a dilapidated earthen house in the yard, the roof is covered with thatch, the windows and doors are dilapidated and collapsed, and the inside is densely covered with cobwebs, which looks a little desolate. In front of the earthen house, there is a small open space, and there are a few piles of weeds in the corner, and a few firewood chickens are leisurely looking for food on it.

Li Rui saw that the open space was just right for parking, so he drove the car there directly and parked it, and got out of the car with Ouyang Xin one after another.

Li Rui looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, worse than the sky in the city, and there was a light wind in the air, and the smell of water vapor could be clearly smelled in the wind, and it seemed that it could rain at any time, and the exit asked: "Bring an umbrella and go up the mountain again, I think it will rain." Ouyang Xin said loudly: "It's going to rain early, I can't see it, don't bring it, it's a burden to carry." Besides, the mountain is not high, and even if it really does, we will have time to run down the mountain. Li Rui smiled: "Running down from the mountain? Ouyang, you are so powerful, I still heard someone say running down the mountain for the first time." Ouyang Xin glanced at him with disgust, and said coquettishly: "Oh, just listen to me, you definitely can't get up, if you really get down, it's mine." Let's go. "After that, go first.

Li Rui smiled, didn't insist any longer, followed her, and walked north along a path to the west of the dilapidated courtyard, which was getting higher and higher, and looked straight ahead to the hillside in front of him.

The two of them walked for more than ten steps, and suddenly there was a rapid and ferocious barking sound in front of them. Ouyang Xin, who was walking in front, let out an exclamation, and the whole person stopped. Li Rui kept staring at her slender back, and she suddenly stopped without paying attention, so she didn't bump into her, but fortunately she reacted well, stopped immediately, raised her eyes, and was also startled.

I don't know when, a big yellow dog suddenly came out of the road ahead. The dog was fat and strong, like a calf. The German black-backed wolfdog that is common on weekdays is slightly inferior to the big yellow dog in front of him. The big yellow dog stopped on the road, ready to pounce, barking incessantly, looking at its fierce appearance, it seemed that it could pounce at any moment.

When Li Rui saw this scene, he didn't want to think about it, grabbed Ouyang Xin's arm and pulled her behind him, took a step forward to block her, and shouted at the big yellow dog, thinking, dogs are afraid of people, I scared it a few times, and it can't be scared away? Thinking of this, he drank a few more times: "Hey! Get out...... Ooh...... Hah!"

Ouyang Xin was already frightened, and when he saw his action, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, he just hid behind him, his hands tightly grasping his clothes.

How do you know that Li Rui was wrong, after he barked a few times, not only did he not scare the big yellow dog away, but also angered it, it actually rushed forward two steps while barking, only about two meters away from him, at this distance, it could easily jump up and knock him down.

Li Rui was so frightened that his heart suddenly shuddered, he couldn't imagine that this big yellow dog was so unruly, he was not even afraid of people, what should he do now? It is definitely not advisable to fight, but if he turns around and runs, how can he outrun it? Nervous, I suddenly remembered that last year in the process of poverty alleviation in Xiaolongwang Village, Longwangmiao Township, Hanshui County, I encountered the experience of the local dog in the village, and afterwards the little daughter-in-law Li Feiyan reminded herself that the dog was afraid of people picking up stones, as long as the action of picking up stones, the dog would only run away.

He really thought it right, and this feint really worked. When the big yellow dog saw his action, he immediately took a few steps back, but he still raised his head and roared at him, and his sharp white teeth appeared from time to time, shooting out a cold light. It seems that picking up rocks has a certain intimidating effect, but it must not scare the dog away.

Li Rui was so frightened that cold sweat flowed out, and shouted to Ouyang Xin behind him: "Ouyang, you run first and go back to the car." Ouyang Xin was already stunned, and didn't reply. Li Rui pushed her backhand and said, "Run, go back to the car." Ouyang Xin asked in horror, "That...... What about you?" Li Rui said, "You can leave me alone." ”

As soon as he said these two words, the big yellow dog seemed to think that Li Rui was capable of this, and actually jumped over two more steps, but it was closer to him than just now. It barked incessantly, and pounced tentatively forward, almost reaching his legs. If Li Rui can't maintain this distance any longer, then he will only be bitten by it. Li Rui forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, repeated the trick, bent down and made the action of picking up the stones, the dog took half a step back, but barked more fiercely than before.

Li Rui felt that it seemed to have reached a critical point and was about to erupt, but it was conceivable that if it broke out, the trick of pretending to pick up stones would not work, and he and Ouyang Xinke behind him would suffer.

"What should I do, what should I do? What should I do? What's the matter, the dog owner hasn't come out yet, and I don't know where he died, grandma's, if his dog really bites Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu must give him a good look......
