Chapter 8 Escaping from Ascension The grass hut is my home

Woke up early the next morning, there were a lot fewer people in the car, there were a few seats in the carriage sporadically, the two of them came out and looked excitedly at the scenery outside the window; the high-rise buildings were gone, replaced by towering peaks, they had been dreaming of flowers and plants all over the mountain, Xinlan was happy and carried away, put her head out of the window and waved her hand and shouted: "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful." ”

The passengers in the carriage thought that the little sister had seen some West Lake scenery, and they all rushed to look out of the window, but what they saw was the ordinary wildflowers and wild grasses, which were far worse than the bonsai on the roadside in Shenzhen! These migrant workers who went home to visit relatives felt that this child was too much of a fuss. Unlike them, it was the first time for Ngawang to see such a large patch of flowers and plants, and he smiled and said to Xinlan: "Silly girl, let's get off here and make a home here, okay?" Xinlan happily jumped onto the cushion and danced and shouted: "Oh, I have a home, I have a home." Xinlan's actions made the people in the car feel inexplicable, and a lady on the opposite side asked puzzledly: "What do you have a home, little sister, don't you have a home?" Xinlan squeaked and didn't know how to answer, Ngawang hurriedly grabbed her and said: "She said the player's house, let's go to the mountain to the player's house." The eldest lady patted her forehead as if she had just woken up from a dream and said, "Oh! The train suddenly accelerated and slowed down, and then the announcer sounded in the radio in very non-standard Mandarin: "Hengyang has arrived, please get off the train passengers with your luggage and belongings and get off the train quickly, passengers, welcome to Hengyang, Hengyang is a famous historical and cultural city, the most famous is Nanyue Hengshan, you are welcome to play~". Ngawang led Xinlan out of the station with the crowd, where there were still many people, much to the disappointment of the siblings, who felt that the more crowded the place, the less safe it was.

Under the scorching sun, Ngawang was at a loss, and in the face of the road that extended in all directions, Ngawang did not know where to go, where was the real way to live, and where there were no bad people. Xinlan saw that her brother had been standing at the intersection of Shizi Road for a long time, she knew that her brother must have lost his mind, she suddenly saw a high mountain in the distance, so she said to Ah Wang: "Brother, let's go to that mountain, let's settle down there." Xinlan's words woke up the dreamer, and Ngawang kept nodding his head and said, "Okay, let's go there and settle down." ”

The two of them jumped and trotted all the way forward, the mountain looked close, but they walked far away; Hengyang City was getting farther and farther away from them, and they could even see wooden houses, Xinlan was very envious and said: "It's so beautiful, how nice it would be if we could have a house like this!" The mountains in the distance seemed far away, and Ngawang knew that they would not be able to reach them before dark, but it didn't matter, because the mountains along the way were everywhere, and although they were not as high as the mountain in the distance, the mountains in front of them were already fairylands for them. Ngawang said to Xinlan, who was bouncing around the road and only caring about picking flowers: "Silly girl, don't patronize and play! It's getting dark, we have to find a place to sleep!" Xinlan suddenly realized, pointed to the mountain in the distance with a pair of innocent big eyes and asked Ngawang: "Aren't we going to that mountain to settle down!"

"Silly girl, when is it, the mountain is still so far away, I'm afraid that it will be dark before we reach it, so let's find a place to live first. ”

"Brother, how nice it would be if there was a house that no one lived in!"

"Silly girl, I don't know yet, but have you seen a house that no one lives in along the way?

Suddenly, Xinlan pointed to the halfway up the mountain across the road and said, "Brother, look, isn't there one there!" Ngawang looked in the direction of Xinlan's finger and saw a thatched hut, which didn't look very big, but now compared to them, it was more precious than a villa. They climbed to the mountain to take a look, it turned out that this grass shed was used by farmers to store sweet potatoes, there is a hole two meters deep and two meters high, there are some sweet potatoes in the hole that have not come to clean up urgently, there is a bamboo ladder at the entrance of the cave to go down, the outside is covered with a grass hut to cover the hole, so that the rainwater does not flow in, the grass shed is two meters high, into a triangular pyramid, there are nearly four square meters below for the brothers and sisters to accommodate, now the brothers and sisters finally have a place to rest, and can finally breathe a sigh of relief, no longer be frightened on the streets of Shenzhen full of lonely ghosts.

But the snacks I bought yesterday have already been eaten, but fortunately, there are still some half-rotten sweet potatoes in the cave, although the taste is very unusual, with a bit of wine, but this is in their own home, and the two of them eat it with relish. Xinlan nibbled on a sweet potato, glanced at her brother, was willing to take a bite of sweet potato, and then looked at their new home, tears flowed out, she asked herself in her heart, is this true? She never even dreamed that there would be such a beautiful day before, she was bullied by Zhou Zhenglong since she could remember, she was worried all day long that Zhou Zhenglong would break her hands and feet and put it on the street to beg for money, Zhou Zhenglong was like a lingering devil in her heart, she seemed to be watched by Zhou Zhenglong wherever she went, and even dreamed that Zhou Yulong waved a whip. Only when she is with Ngawang will she feel at ease and forget the pain of the past for a while. They frolic all over the mountains every day, forgetting the suffering, and the grass hut in the world is my home.
