Chapter 11: A Small View of a Mountain Village
All the way south, the speed is fast!
Nearly 500 kilometers of distance in the swaying and leisurely, with the driver's reminder of the groggy Li Mu finally sobered up a lot, looking at the familiar rice fields on the side of the road, he knew that he really went home!
I don't know why it always feels a little unreal, the familiar mountains and rivers make people a little homesick!
Heh, why did you suddenly get deeper?
Li Mu Yaoyao was still a little drowsy, lifted the fishing gear and slowly walked out of the car, and immediately saw the father standing not far away waving, his back seemed to be a little hunched, and the once black flat head had also added a lot of white, and a not very obvious furrow appeared on his dark face......
Optimus Prime, who once held up a bright sky for himself, seemed to have some traces of time, and looking at his father Li Mu, a sour feeling rose inexplicably. But that smiling face made him feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction, and secretly clenched his fists and hurried to meet him.
"Dad, why are you here so late?" Li Mu rushed to his father's side and smiled in a few steps, but stretched out his hand in exchange for a smile, and the imaginary hug did not come as expected.
"Well, the spirit!" looked at Li Mu seriously, and then his father nodded, dropped a sentence, and turned to leave, Li Mu hurriedly felt a little lost in his heart, but he also understood that this is father's love!
It's always so deep, just like a mountain, if you don't walk into it, you'll never understand how deep and heavy it is!
"Dad, have you eaten?" Li Mu asked when he saw the smoke billowing and fragrant barbecue stall next to the station.
In the afternoon, I was busy selling fish and rushing home, and I had no appetite because of excitement along the way, and at this time, I smelled the familiar taste, and my stomach finally couldn't help but protest.
"Hehe, I know you haven't eaten! Let's go, let's have a drink!" Li Mingyao smiled, showed a mouthful of smoky yellow big teeth, and led Li Mu to the barbecue stall not far away.
"Lao Wang, here are ten strings of beef tendons and five strings of lamb kidneys!" Li Mingyao began to shout, and the barbecue stall owner raised his head and glanced at Li Mingyao in surprise, and then saw Li Mu also laughing.
"I also said why the voice is so familiar, it turns out to be your old boy! Why is my son willing to support my business when he comes back?" Lao Wang is not young, but he looks much younger than Li Mingyao, and he is very festive.
"Uncle Wang, you are still out of the stall!" Li Mu also recognized this uncle Wang Laixi from the same village, this is the only family in the village that is not surnamed Li, and the barbecue sellers in the city all the year round are settled in the city.
"Hehe, Amu is back, why are you still not worried about your brother?" Wang Lai looked at Li Mu with a smile and nodded, and then beckoned the father and son to sit down and bring a box of wine and said: "Barbecue has to wait, drink a bottle of uncle tonight!"
"That's not possible, don't be poor and generous!" Li Mingyao immediately stopped doing it when he heard it, and stood up directly and said: "If you want to invite it, you will be at home another day, this is a business field!"
Rural people are real, and although the barbecue stall makes a lot of money, but in their opinion, this is a small business and can't break the rules, although Li Mu knows that even if he invites it, it won't cost a few dollars, but he also understands what his father means and looks at it with a smile.
"You old boy is still that temperament, then go to my house tomorrow!" Wang Laixi also knew that Lao Li's temperament didn't say much, he quickly turned over the ingredients on the stove with his hands and feet, chatted with Li Mingyao with a smile, and said a few words to Li Mu from time to time, not snubbing people at all.
......
At dawn the next day, Li Mu followed his father to the hospital, the younger brother and mother were also cleaned up, the snake venom had been dissolved after the serum was hit, and he was hospitalized for observation last night and was fine, and he could be discharged today.
Li Mu looked at the little brother who looked like a good baby and almost didn't think of it, this kid is usually not like this at home, this time he is probably offended, naturally he didn't say it, he just patted him on the shoulder, took the duffel bag on his mother's shoulder, and went to the front desk to go through the discharge procedures with a smile.
Soon everything was done, and the family got on Dad's small three-wheeled motorcycle and rushed home. Li Mu's family lives in a small mountain village below YN County, located in the southwest of the county, which belongs to Yongxing Town, more than 30 miles away from the county seat.
On the morning of early spring, the cold weather in the small mountain town was pressing, and the cold wind blowing on the small three wheels was a little fierce, Li Yuan was tightly wrapped by his mother with a quilt, and Li Mu took the driver's seat and rode in front with a smile.
"Amu, are you in the city?" The wind was cold, Li Mu's car was not fast, and his mother couldn't help but have a good time with him.
"Let's go home and talk about it, don't affect his ride!" Dad stopped coldly, for him, the whole family was in the car, and it was no joke.
"Hehe, I'm fine with this technique!" Li Mu responded with a smile, which can be regarded as a relief for his mother, otherwise it would be really embarrassing. At the same time, he also did not forget to say: "The roads in the village are all cut (all villages are cement roads, and rural people like to cut cement roads), okay?"
"It's been through a long time ago, go directly to our door!" the younger brother suddenly interjected, but was glared at by the father and immediately shrunk into the quilt.
The car quickly entered the village road from the county road, and also entered the mountain range, and the slopes on both sides of the road were covered with a layer of mist, which looked like a white jade belt from a distance......
The early birds sang happily in the woods by the roadside, and the sudden sound of the car startled the frogs jumping on the road and the mountain rats in the grass by the roadside, and they fled quickly to the sound of squirming.
The fresh air carries a touch of moisture, and the whole person is more energetic and clearer when he takes a deep breath. The small wildflowers on the side of the road swayed in the breeze brought up by the tricycle as it passed, trying to keep their bodies upwards and not give in......
The oncoming cattle and sheep call for friends, and the camel bell on the leader's neck jingles to make this warm and quiet picture come alive at once, and the shepherd's shouting seems to be an on-demand button to make the picture continue to move and be more vivid and vivid.
Not far away, the smoke in the mountain col was repeatedly cooked, slowly rising with the roosters and dogs barking, and a gust of mountain wind blew through the clouds and mist jade belts that blended into the mountains, and it was impossible to distinguish each other. The sound of parents waking up their children is also coming slowly, and from time to time you can hear the sound of children crying heartbreakingly.
It must be some little kid who is lazy to eat bamboo and burn it, looking at and listening to the smile on Li Mu's face getting richer and stronger, wasn't he like this when he was there?
In particular, when I was in elementary school, there was no school in the village, so I had to walk two or three miles to the brigade to go to school, and I had to get up at five o'clock in the morning and walk for more than an hour to school.
Children are more sleepy, and once again they don't want to get up, but they are beaten all the way to school by their father, and Li Mu never seems to be lazy in bed since then.
"Ouch, the third uncle is back!"
"Yuanzi, how are you doing?"
"The third aunt went home so early?"
......
Along the way, the villagers kept greeting each other, and Li Mu responded with a smile, and when he met his brother, he had to stop and hand over a cigarette. Although everyone is just asking, but the heart is also warm, this is the nostalgia!
Stop-and-go, when the sun rises, the family of four arrives at the door of the village at the end of the village. From afar, Li Mu saw that his grandmother was already standing at the door, and behind him was his own big wolf dog Huya.
Huya is a black back brought back by Li Mu from a comrade-in-arms' house, very tall, about 60 centimeters tall, 1.3 meters long, with a golden belly, black spots on the back, and a circle of white around the eyes, which is very powerful.
"Grandma!" Li Mu called from afar, and he didn't care if his grandmother could hear it. Li Mu's grandparents died early, and they were brought up by their grandmother when they were very young, and the relationship with their grandmother naturally goes without saying.
"Ouch, my good grandson is back! Come into the house, grandma will give you pancakes, your favorite egg Qiao cake to eat, Xiaoyuanzi, you be careful! Big baby, you carry a little on your back, you can't toss this serious illness when you are just healing!"
The family also listened to her arrangement with a smile, the old lady was almost eighty years old, except for her ears were a little unfavorable, but the whole person was very energetic, and she also helped the family cook and feed the pigs every day.
