Chapter 233: Guide

Although I only left the village for two or three days, I still felt that the village was different from when I left, and I wanted to talk about it in detail but I didn't know how to say it, I always felt that it was like this when I left, and it was still like this when I came back, but when people suddenly turned their heads and swept around, they felt that it was different again.

"Uncle Xu!"

"Uncle!"

From the entrance of the village to his door, there were people who didn't stop saying hello to him along the way, and Wen Xu also pressed the car window and couldn't stop nodding at others.

When I arrived at the door, I got out of the car and Wen Xu remembered why I felt different, the smiles on the faces of the villagers were different, not just the smiles, everyone's temperament and conversation were also slowly changing, and all kinds of rules and regulations not only restricted them, but also changed their mental outlook.

Stopped the car, Wen Xu knew that the boy had arrived in the harsh winter, if not for anything else, because the big run of this goods was sticking to his land patrol side.

As soon as Wen Xu got out of the car, Dong Liang immediately came out of the courtyard with his tail swinging, and circled around Wen Xu to express his joy for his master to go home.

Reaching out and gently caressing Dong Liang's head twice, Wen Xu raised his feet and walked back to his yard, seeing that the courtyard door was wide open, and there was no one inside, and he couldn't find the goods in the harsh winter, Wen Xu raised his feet and walked towards the small courtyard of Old Man Chi's house.

Before I reached the door, I heard a cheerful laugh.

When Wen Xu stood at the gate of the small courtyard, he saw that Yan Dong was eating with an old man of about sixty years with an old man of about sixty.

The whole scene is very stylish, a little free and easy, with a bit of pastoral style.

The small couch a few meters square in the courtyard has now become the home of the banquet, and the gauze canopy set up at the four corners also blocks the sunlight, which adds a few artistic conceptions to the small courtyard. A small square table with short legs is placed on a small couch, and the four of them sit cross-legged or lying on their sides, each with a glass of wine in front of them, and they talk happily.

The dish with wine is also very simple, one boiled peanuts, one fried broad beans, a plate of green pepper eggs, braised fish in general, and the other plate is tomatoes mixed with sugar. A few simple dishes, but the four of them drank with red faces, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

As soon as Old Man Chi looked up and saw the door where Wen Xu was standing, he immediately smiled and beckoned to Wen Xu: "Wen Xue is back, sit down, sit down and drink two glasses!" ”

When Teacher Ma saw Wen Xu coming, he immediately stood up and turned around to bring a pair of chopsticks, and then placed a small cup on the edge of the table. At the same time, Old Man Chi had already placed a round cushion on the couch, patted it on the round cushion, and motioned for Wen Xu to sit here.

Wen Xu was not polite, walked to the couch with a smile, looked at Yan Dong while taking off his shoes and said, "You kid didn't say a word when he came over, why were you willing to come so soon?" ”

Yan Dong is now like a resurrection with full blood, and Mr. Yan, who has not come to Wenjia Village for a long time to have a good relationship with these 'suppliers', has suddenly returned to the working state of his heyday.

Hearing Wen Xu say this, Yan Dong naturally knew what he meant, so he said with a smile: "At first glance, you are an inexperienced novice, this little girl can't always be good to her, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are still tired of eating." In love, you have to leave from time to time, so that she feels that there is no difference between you and you, isn't there a saying that leaving is for the next reunion. After going back and forth a few times, and with some tricks, it won't be long before our children will be able to make soy sauce in a few years."

"Don't play with the fire!"

Wen Xu said that, took off his shoes and sat on the mat.

After sitting down, Wen Xu looked at the old man who was sitting opposite him, and opened his mouth to ask, "Old man, what do you call it?" ”

"This is my friend, old man! Jia Changping, just call him Lao Jia! ”

In Wen Xu's opinion, if you want to strip away this background and match it with the scene of the Republic of China, this quasi-child is the standard shape of a standard master of the Republic of China: a thin figure, wearing a pair of black-framed round glasses on his face, and the funniest thing is that he also has a middle-parted hair that is not too obvious, and the only difference is that he is wearing an old-fashioned robe.

"Old Man Jia, it's the first time we've met, I'll toast you two glasses" Wen Xu heard Old Man Chi's introduction, and immediately picked up the wine in front of him.

Old Man Jia smiled and picked up the cup: "Xiao Wen, I'm not good at drinking, everyone will do it when they get it!" ”

After speaking, he put the wine glass to his lips and touched his lips lightly.

Wen Xu also has no habit of persuading alcohol, there is a harsh winter, but he will not take such an occasion, although everyone is equal, but the age of the two old men is here, and he has to be honest when he shouldn't mess around.

If Wen Xu rushes to call Old Man Chi and Grandpa Chi, how can the whole village deal with itself? Wen Shigui, Wen Shida, these sixty people, and even more than seventy people are also called Grandpa Chi?

"You kid changed girlfriends again? I tell you not to be picky, it is better to find an honest life than anything else! "Teacher Ma is worthy of being a teacher, and he seized the opportunity to tell Yan Dong about the philosophy of life or something, and wanted to correct Yan Dong's thoughts.

If it had been put in the past, Yan Dong's heart would have been a little unhappy, but now that he is reborn, Yan Dong nodded thoughtfully: "What Mr. Ma said is, but this is not a simple girlfriend, I am a girlfriend who is rushing to get married!" ”

"That's good, that's good!"

Hearing Yan Dong say this, Teacher Ma couldn't stop nodding.

"What about you, don't be so consumed with Xiao Zhuo, get married quickly, and wait for the child to grow up and enjoy a good life, I tell you Wen Xu, getting married late is not a good thing" Teacher Ma saw that the politics of the harsh winter were qualified, and he brought Wen Xu again.

Wen Xu said with a smile: "I have a few big tiled houses, where can I beg my daughter-in-law now, aren't I ready to start building a house?"

"It's going to be built?" When Old Man Chi heard this, he asked happily.

Wen Xu nodded: "Wait for the things to be returned tomorrow, and then go to the west of the village to find a homestay to live in first, and then move back to live when the house here is ready."

"So fast?" Yan Dong asked.

"What's so unhappy, it's been a long time to talk about this" It's finally time to build a house, Wen Xu is also very happy, no matter what, building a new house is a happy event.

"Congratulations!"

With this reason, everyone took turns to touch a few glasses with Wen Xu.

This kind of small wine, which is generally called vegetable wine, is contemptible for drunkards, but Wen Xu likes this atmosphere the most, and it is interesting to drink and drink.

"Wen Xu, I came this time to see the last time you caught a big turtle, such a big female turtle may have a male turtle, there must be a population nearby, I talked to Lao Chi, ready to wait for my students to come, and then go into the mountains along the river to take a good look at the surrounding environment. To be honest, I really don't know if I didn't come this time, it turns out that we still have such a beautiful place in Linjiang and your Wenjia Village, and there are such well-preserved mountains and forests," Old Man Jia said excitedly.

"Oh!"

Old Man Chi said: "Don't just play, Old Man Jia wants you to show them the way and be a guide!" ”

"I really can't do this!" Hearing this, Wen Xu hurriedly waved his hand and said.

Old Man Jia looked at Old Man Chi with a look of surprise.

"What's the matter, you kid still want to pay for the guide?"

Wen Xu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't want to be your guide, but you have to keep walking along the river, and I haven't been far upstream at all!" There are too many forks in the river over there, and no one is an old hunter who has the ability to take you there, and then pat his chest and say bring you back."

What Wen Xu didn't say was that after his own sins, he didn't dare to go to the forest recklessly, not to mention anything else, that is, the cliff that his goats climbed on now has no thick vines and vines, who knows what has become of the forest?

At his own level, drilling into the forest is at most squatting in the space, and he is hungry and sleepy. But with Old Man Jia and his students, this is several lives, and Wen Xu is not a brainless stupid boldness, this little self-knowledge is still there.

After speaking, he looked at Old Man Jia and said: "Old Man Jia, if I had been there, I would not have refused, but I have never been there at all, and I lack the life experience of the wild forest, I am afraid that I will take you into it but I will never be able to get out again."

Seeing Wen Xu's face was serious, and what he said was very reasonable, Old Man Jia also nodded and said in agreement: "I agree with your statement, this time we don't know how far we have to go, and I heard that this big river has several forks."

"There are three big ones, but according to the old man, no matter which river you followed, you could walk to the largest lake in the mountains, but I have never been there," Wen Xu said.

Mr. Jia said: "I know a little bit about this, the people of the Geographical Society used to conduct a survey of the environment here, but at that time the so-called Weima Lake was not very big, it can't be called a lake, they waited for the conclusion that it was only one-fifteenth of the flood period, even if it was a flood period, in fact, it was a lake, most places were swamps, but at that time the ecological damage was too great, after checking once, the province did not organize a second time, as for what it has become now, it's really hard to say... …”。

As soon as I heard that this old man had done his homework in the early stage, he was really a scholar-level figure, and he had to do some 'preview' before working.

"Then who do you think is the best fit in the village?" After Old Man Jia finished talking, he turned his gaze to Wen Xu again.

Wen Xu thought for a moment and shook his head: "There is really no suitable one in our village, the third brother used to go, but now his body can't stand such a long journey, there is no problem for you to go around the neighborhood, but as soon as you enter, the river twists and turns, not the old guide can't turn out at all."

"Then you can help me inquire!" Old Man Chi said.

"You are looking for my second brother about this, he is very clear about the characters in this area, to be honest, he used to study and go to school, and his understanding of the customs and customs around here is about the same as that of the children, these questions can only be asked by asking these old people, if it is ten or eight years late, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a guide into the mountain, and now young people are going to big cities, who still drills the old forest."

Old Man Jia sighed after hearing this, nodded and said, "It's good to find someone!" ”

In the economic tide, there is always a shortage of people to do things that do not make money. Everyone sitting here can understand it, but they can't help but sigh.

In this way, everyone ate and chatted together, until the evening, Wen Xu and Yan Dong got off the house, left the old man's house in shoes, and returned to the small courtyard of Wen Xu's house.

Yan Dong took a shower and came out, wiping his head with a bath towel, while walking to his room, just walked to the door and turned his head, and saw Wen Xu still standing in the courtyard, touching the wall in his hand and not knowing what to say, so he turned to the door and looked at Wen Xu.

"What's the matter, reluctant?"

"In my memory, I spent most of my time with this yard, and suddenly I said that I wanted to tear it down, and I was a little reluctant," Wen Xu nodded and said.

Reaching out and touching a brick, there was a strange thing on the brick that was faintly painted with a bird that was not a bird or a worm. Wen Xu remembered that this was a masterpiece when he watched his grandfather write Spring Festival couplets and played with a brush, but he couldn't see it without paying attention to the wind and rain.

I guess this is the trace of time!
