Chapter 1 Taoyuan Cave

Next Chapter

"Finally back. In the station, a young man looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sigh softly.

His name is Wang Hong, and he has graduated for a year, but because of an accident, he offended the company's supervisor and was fired directly, and it is too difficult to find a job that suits him. Especially as graduation season approaches, millions of college students leave school, which makes it even more difficult to find a job.

Even a good intern position may be snatched up by several people, not to mention those positions with high pay and high benefits, and it is not the turn of a college student with no experience at all.

As for those jobs that don't look at academic experience at all, after paying the rent, they are not enough for their daily expenses, and they may be deceived if they are not careful, and after hitting the wall for more than a month, Wang Hong's heart is gradually cooling, you must know that if he is not a part-time online writer, he will not be able to survive this month.

After some consideration, he simply let go of all the burdens on his body and went all out to write novels to make a living, after all, the income of online writers is really eye-catching, and he quit the house and returned to this small county where he was born and raised.

This county is called H County, which may not sound well-known, but the scenery is beautiful, the personnel are scarce, and the pace of life in the whole county is slow, full of a faint comfort, which is really a good place for health.

Wang Hong's family is in a scenic area called Taoyuan Cave, according to legend, this is Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" recorded in the paradise, not to mention, the scenery is quite beautiful, the air is fresher than in the county, and the metropolis does not know how many times, coupled with the delicate emerald green, the dingdong sound of the mountain spring, the paradise is by no means boastful.

In this way, his family's old house is still a scenic house!

But it is a pity that this scenic spot is too small, rumors are rumors after all, there are no developers to develop, there is no government attention, only local residents come to visit in ordinary seasons, can not bring any benefits at all, otherwise Wang Hong does not need to work hard outside to find a job.

Stopped a motorcycle, negotiated the price and put the suitcase on it, the whole county is too small, you can ride a bicycle for twenty minutes to go through, so there is no bus at all, if it is not a little tired to take the car today, Wang Hong would rather walk back by himself.

In just a few minutes, we have arrived at our destination. A stone tablet in front of you is engraved with three big characters "Taoyuan Cave", there is the whole article of "Peach Blossom Spring" behind this stone tablet, the peach blossoms on the trees on both sides have been thanked, but you can see some green peaches.

The most beautiful time of the year is spring, when the peach blossoms on both sides are in full bloom, coupled with the clear mountain spring on the side, it is simply a true portrayal of "suddenly meeting the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the banks, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful".

Walked forward for a while, it is considered to have passed through the original peach blossom forest, the winding mountain road in front of you is the entrance of Taoyuan Cave, this is the road built in the 60s of the last century, if it is not for the opening of the mountain to build the road at that time, maybe now Taoyuan Cave is still indisputable with the world!

Picking up the suitcase, Wang Hong embarked on the journey home. It is not as tortuous as in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", this mountain road has been very easy to walk after so many years of exploration, after all, even if there are few people who know, this is also a scenic area.

What's more, Wang Hong himself has lived here for more than ten years, and he is extremely familiar with this road, and even knows exactly where and what fruit trees are.

With the passage of time, there are not many residents in Taoyuan Cave, and it can even be said that only Wang Hong's family is still in this group of mountains, not that he wants to wait for the appreciation of the house in the scenic spot, but he really has no money to move out.

Housing prices in the county may be low, but they also need more than 2,000 square meters, which is a complete joke for big cities, but not every family is very prosperous.

After walking for more than half an hour, I finally saw a familiar house, a very typical Hui-style building with black tiles and white walls, which is Wang Hong's home. The place occupied by this old house can be described as a must, just at a corner of the mountain road, there is a large flat land, coupled with the diligence of the older generation, a big house has been made.

In front of the door is a landscape of Taoyuan Cave, called Taoyuan Three Waterfalls, it is a waterfall, but because of the strange rocks, it is divided into three sections, it is really magnificent, I dare not say that it is famous far and near, but it is really the magic of nature.

Under the waterfall is a small pool, don't look at the pool water is clear, but the water is quite deep, which hides the wild fish in the mountains, delicious, I still remember when I was a child, my grandfather held him and sat on the edge of the pool to fish, this is also one of his favorite activities.

This old house has been located here for a hundred years, it can also be called a historical building, the house can be said to be warm in winter and cool in summer, in this June day, you need to cover the quilt when sleeping, if you are not careful, you will catch a cold.

This old mansion also carries Wang Hong's countless childhood memories, and thinking of this, his pace can't help but speed up a little. In front of the house is a yard of about 50 square meters, in the south, every household has a yard, which is very convenient for drying rice and doing farm work, and what he misses the most is the orange tree in the yard.

When he was a child, Wang Hong loved to eat oranges very much, and he had to look at the orange trees every day when he got up, and even asked to take a piece of orange to sleep peacefully when he went to bed at night, which was teased by several relatives until now.

The door was closed, and there was no one at home, although he had known about this result for a long time, Wang Hong still sighed a little. He is a single-parent family, although he has repeatedly persuaded his mother not to work too hard, but the other party still went out to work, which made him feel a little sad.

Fortunately, Wang Hong also worked hard himself, whether it was tuition or living expenses in college, he obtained it through his part-time job, and he didn't take a penny from his mother, just such a little thing made his mother very proud.

Everything in the house is still the same, probably because the door has not been opened for ventilation for a long time, there is a faint musty smell, and then look at the sky is bright, but there are still a lot of things to do in front of him, Wang Hong did not rest, directly put down the suitcase and began to clean.

Fortunately, when my mother went out, things were generally packed up very properly, such as dishes and chopsticks only need to be rinsed with water, but even so, Wang Hong was busy for more than half an hour, but seeing the bright kitchen, bedroom and living room, Wang Hong was still full of a sense of accomplishment, and from today on, he will live in this paradise that is indisputable.

After so much time, the sky is gradually darkening, the time is not early, Wang Hong, who has been busy for an afternoon, is also a little tired, taking the car is indeed the most tiring, I originally wanted to eat something good to celebrate my return to my hometown, but now I don't want to move, let alone go out of the mountain.

The takeaway in the city has not developed into such a small county town at all, and who wants to be delivered to this mountain at night, there is not even a street lamp, and there are so many mountain roads.

Fortunately, the children of the poor are in charge early, and Wang Hong himself has good skills. I took out the noodles from my backpack, and even though they were instant noodles, I felt at least psychologically that they tasted much better after he cooked them.

Unconsciously, it was completely dark, and today due to the haste of returning, he did not apply for re-powering, after all, there is only one house in this mountain, and no one in the family needs to turn off this circuit, not only to prevent people who steal electricity, but also for safety reasons.

Wang Hong, who had been busy all day, was a little tired, so he washed up and rested early. It doesn't hurt to have electricity or not, lying in a familiar room, Wang Hong was full of emotion for a while, it was this long-lost feeling.

At this time, the mountain was dark, and there were occasional bursts of insects and frogs in the forest, but Wang Hong was not impatient at all, for him, such a sound was more pleasant than the noisy trumpet, this is the feeling in the mountains.

This long-lost cheerfulness makes Wang Hong, who has been living in the city that never sleeps, a little uncomfortable, after all, even in the early hours of the morning, there is an endless stream of vehicles and pedestrians in the city. It is normal for ordinary students to go to bed at twelve o'clock, and it can be said that the nightlife has not yet started at this time, but such a noisy life is often interrupted even the most basic ideas, which makes him a little depressed.

In such an environment, people feel that their minds are much clearer, and I believe that they will be able to write better novels. If you really don't succeed, then it's not bad to take the civil service exam at home, at least your life is guaranteed.

Now there are fewer and fewer young people who are willing to return to the county, Wang Hong believes that if he is serious, then it is not difficult to take the civil service examination in the county.

With a vision for the future, Wang Hong fell into a deep sleep, and a light rain gradually fell in the mountains, as if to welcome the homecoming wanderer, and for a while, the originally noisy mountain forest instantly quieted down, leaving only the sound of dripping rain.
