"Brother, grandpa and grandma said that we will go back after dinner, I'm afraid we can't go!" Sister Yang Tingting said.

"Sister, my dad won't let you go, he said he would let you rest for the night!" Tian Limai said, he didn't dare to look at his sister Yang Tingting, his eyes were staring at the ground.

"Brother Yu, what's so fun in the rhododendron forest!?" asked Sister Yang Tingting.

"Sister, the rhododendron trees in the rhododendron forest are all two or three people holding hands and hugging the bigger ones, and they are bent and bent, and they are beautiful, and the azalea trees bloom in the summer, and the flowers are red, pink and white, one plate after another, and one plate blooms twelve flowers, and one flower has twelve petals!" Sister Tian Liyu said.

"Oh, is it really what you said?" Sister Yang Tingting asked.

"Sister, I can't lie to you?!It's a pity that it's winter, and I can't see flowers, if only it were summer!" The younger sister Tian Liyu spoke with a very focused expression, and her eyes looked at her sister Yang Tingting without blinking.

"Brother Yu, if I don't go back, let's go have a look in the afternoon!" Sister Yang Tingting said.

After Sister Yang Tingting finished speaking, she went into the house!

The lunch was eaten very late, and after the lunch, the grandfather, grandmother and uncle insisted on going back, although the uncle and the aunt wanted to stay, but when they saw that the grandfather, grandmother and uncle wanted to go back, they also wanted to go back!

Father Tian Hezhuang and mother Yang Meizhen struggled to keep, grandfather and grandmother also tried their best to keep, but grandfather, grandmother and uncle still had to go, and finally mother Yang Meizhen coughed with tears and said: "Dad, mother, eldest brother, my Yangmei Zhen has a bad life, I can only find such a person, we kill the pig every year and invite you to eat" soup ", you all excuse yourself to resign, I and Tian Hezhuang have two small babies, and the big ones are also sixteen, Seven years old, you have come to our house only a handful of times, although Tian Hezhuang's legs are a little lame, but his heart is bright, people are good, this time the two little babies went to invite you, you came, but come to have a meal and leave, let the neighbors next door, the neighbors see what to say, father, mother, big brother, you just rest for the night!?"

Mother Yang Meizhen's words were a little sad, and she said it to her heart's content, and her tone was almost pleading, and her uncle and aunt were listening, very moved, and her uncle said: "Sister, our family is not leaving, and we will play for a day tomorrow and then leave!" My uncle turned his head to his grandfather and grandmother and said, "Dad, Mom, my sister has talked about this, you won't leave, rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow!"

Mother's words said that for that sake, it was really not good to go again, and in the end, my grandfather and grandparents compromised and promised to rest for one night before leaving!

Grandfather, grandmother and father Tian Hezhuang accompanied grandfather, grandmother, uncle, uncle and aunt to sit down in the fire pit house again to set up the "Dragon Gate Array", mother Yang Meizhen took advantage of her grandfather and grandmother here to soak the Rumi, mother Yang Meizhen said to her father Tian Hezhuang: "This afternoon to play glutinous rice cakes, anyway, the New Year will be played, while the father and mother are also here!"

Seeing her mother Yang Meizhen looking happy, her father Tian Hezhuang smiled and said, "Damn it, you arrange it, we will all listen to you!"

Because of the uncle and uncle here, he can be lazy about playing glutinous rice cakes, so he took his sister Tian Liyu and Tian Yimei to make an appointment with his sister Yang Tingting to go to the rhododendron forest!

Since Tian Yimei came back from her grandparents' house together, she only went home for a while, and when she had lunch, her sister Tian Liyu went to call Tian Qimei!

Come out from Tian Limai's house, walk along the mountain road to the top of Houya Mountain, the rhododendron forest is very large, it looks very spectacular, about 10,000 acres of contiguous pieces, although the edge has been cut down a lot, but it does not affect the magnificence of the rhododendron forest at all!

Looking at the roots of the rhododendron tree that had been cut down, Sister Yang Tingting sighed: "It's a pity that such a beautiful rhododendron tree has been cut down!"

"Sister, according to Dad, this was cut down in the sixties and seventies of the last century, and the charcoal burned by this rhododendron tree is very powerful and burned!" Tian Limai said.

The four of them drilled into the rhododendron forest while talking, and drilled into it about less than two hundred meters away, which is the dense rhododendron tree, those rhododendron trees grow very irregularly, some are three or five trees in a lump, there are ten trees in a row, and there are other trees in between, such as Tochigi, Ornant (rock brush), laurel tree, etc., some rhododendron trees are really three or two people holding hands and hugging each other, and the small ones are also big bowls and big roots, and many rhododendron trunks are covered with moss, which seems to be very old!

"Brother Yu, this rhododendron forest is very similar to a primeval forest, these rhododendron trees look like they have been growing for hundreds of years!" Sister Yang Tingting said.

"Sister, I heard my dad say that my dad once asked my grandfather how old this rhododendron forest was, and my grandfather said that as soon as he was born, this rhododendron forest was like this, and there seemed to be no change!" Tian Limai said.

"Yes, brother, you see that the rhododendron tree that has been cut down next to it has been nearly half a century, but it still hasn't grown a new tree, it can be seen that this rhododendron tree is not an ordinary tree, and it is not easy for new trees to grow after cutting!" Sister Yang Tingting said again.

"Sister, now it's okay, not only do every household have provincial firewood stoves, but also biogas digesters, few people come to cut firewood, and even if there is, they get some dry firewood, and no one cuts down the growing trees!" Tian Limai glanced around at the rhododendron trees!

Sister Tian Liyu and Sister Tian didn't look at those rhododendron trees, the two of them searched carefully on the ground, and the two of them were talking to each other, to see if there were any fungi and mushrooms in the woods!

The four of them walked slowly in the rhododendron forest, sometimes they stopped to take a look at a big rhododendron tree, there are few thorns in the rhododendron forest, but sometimes there are one or two thorns, Tian Limai has been leading the way in front, and when there are thorns, he will step on the ground with his feet!

Walking inside, the woods are getting deeper and deeper, and sometimes you can hear the cry of the beast, and my sister Tian Liyu and Sister Tian heard the cry of the beast, and there was a look of fear on their faces!

"Brother, let's find a place to sit!" Sister Yang Tingting said.

"Brother, let's sit here for a while, and then we won't go inside, it's going to be dark, I'm afraid that there will be a big-headed cat inside (big-headed cat: it's a tiger!), let's go out early!" Sister Tian Liyu said.

Tian Yimei also said: "Brother, I'm also a little afraid, my brother told me a lot of stories about big-headed cats eating people in the past, and I'm still afraid of it!"

Tian Limai glanced at the sky, but the sky was covered by rhododendron trees, and the sky gradually darkened, Tian Limai said to her sister Yang Tingting: "Sister, the sky is starting to darken, let's rest here, and then, go back!"

"Okay, brother, don't go too far, lest the adults worry!" Sister Yang Tingting also looked at the sky!

The four of them chose a big rhododendron tree in the same place and stopped, Tian Limai did not sit down, he leaned on the trunk of another rhododendron tree, he wanted to find a stone slab for his sister Yang Tingting to sit and rest, but there was no one in the woods, so he had to give up!

Sister Yang Tingting found a wooden stick and put it on the ground, and then sat down with her back against the big rhododendron tree!

Sister Tian Liyu and Sister Tian also went over and sat down in a row when they saw their sister Yang Tingting sit down!

The four of them didn't speak, and they quieted down in an instant, and as soon as they quieted down, there was a sound of chattering in the rhododendron forest, and the sound seemed to be not far from here, and the younger sister Tian Liyu and Tian Yimei listened to it, and they all looked at Tian Limai with scared eyes, maybe the younger sister Tian Liyu and Tian Yimei thought that some wild thing was approaching!

"This sound is a pheasant or other small animal foraging in the woods, not a wild beast, don't be afraid!" Tian Limai said as if for no reason.

"Brother Yu, you said wild things, what wild things are there in the woods when you go to Sitai?" asked Sister Yang Tingting.

"Sister, we here, I heard my grandfather say that in the sixties and seventies of the last century, there were still people who saw tigers, but then no one saw them again, but in recent years, there seem to be more wild things, especially wild boars and wild goats!" Tian Limai said.

When Tian Limai was talking, a tree marten climbed up and down on a tree, this tree marten not only Tian Limai saw it, but also her sister Yang Tingting and her sister Tian Liyu and Tian Qimei saw it!

Tian Limai saw that the three of them were looking at the tree mink, so he said, "The noise in the woods may be caused by these minks!"

Soon, the mink was gone!

Tian Limai looked at the sky again and said, "Sister, let's go back!"

"Brother Yu, go back, if it's spring, summer and autumn in this forest, it's really fun to play people, but it's a pity that this is winter, Brother Yu, I often hear people say, there are many legends in this forest, how about you talk about one?" Sister Yang Tingting said.

"Sister, while walking back, I'll talk about it, this is what my grandfather told me when I was a child!" Tian Limai is ready to still lead the way in front.

"Brother, you were going to go to the back just now, let me lead the way in front!" Sister Tian Liyu hurriedly said.

"Sister, it's still early, and it's not dark, aren't you and your sister afraid that it won't be possible?!" Tian Limai smiled.

"Brother, you have to tell a story, you tell it in the back, so that we can hear it, if you are in front, it will not be easy for us to hear!" Sister Tian Liyu said.

Tian Limai thought about it, this is indeed the case!

The order of return is sister Tian Liyu, sister Tian Qi, sister Yang Tingting, and finally Tian Limai!

"Brother Yu, you start talking!" urged Sister Yang Tingting.

"Sister, there are indeed a lot of stories in this forest, and I will tell a story about the rhododendron tree when we see the rhododendron forest today! There are still many cuckoo birds in the rhododendron forest, and it is winter, and the cuckoo bird cannot be seen, so before I start talking, you can guess first, is there a cuckoo tree or a cuckoo bird first?" Tian Limai deliberately sold a pass!
