Chapter 376: The Poor Mountain Village [First Update}

The mountain roads that live in the lower area are all coarse gravel roads, and there are two "vegetable fields on both sides of the mountain road", which is not a paddy field. At this time, sparse vegetables are planted in the vegetable field.

After walking down the hill for more than ten minutes, everyone saw a small flat place in front of them, with bamboo poles, and heard Zhu Wang say that this is usually a place used to dry clothes. Down into the open field are small villages, and houses are built on the side of the mountain.

Everyone stood in the place where they were drying their clothes, and vaguely saw the smoke rising from the cooking, and the houses hidden in the woods, Zhu Wang walked towards the path, and everyone hurriedly followed.

Next to the small mountain road, everyone looks at a row of small waterholes. One is smaller than the one in the top row. The waterhole is nearly two meters long and less than one meter deep. With the mountain stones in a circle, you can see the clear water seeping out of the cracks in the stones, and you can also see a pound of small plastic bottles connected to a small pipe at the bottom of the water, and then you can see that the plastic bottles are covered with small holes.

Zhang Shan saw that everyone was curious, and explained that this is the drinking pool of people in the mountains, and the bottle seen below is used to filter clean water, usually passers-by are tired of walking, and they can drink water here to quench their thirst.

These things are very difficult to see in the outside villages, at least Zhang Niu has never heard of them, and then he thinks that it seems impossible to dig wells in the mountains to get water, let alone whether he can get water, and the rock below alone cannot be excavated by hand, which can also explain why these pools are kept.

The front is a drinking pool, and the pools connected to the back are also drinking water? Zhang Shan laughed after hearing this, a drinking pool in the mountains is enough, why do you need so much. The basin below is for washing vegetables, then washing clothes, and the last one is for flushing toilets, and it is easy to identify if there are no stones around it.

Everyone was surprised that people in the mountains would be so particular about the pools they commonly use, and they were divided into categories, washing clothes is washing clothes, and washing vegetables is washing vegetables.

Walking through the pool, everyone finally got their wish to see the houses in the mountains, these houses are also mud houses like those seen outside the village, with two floors above and below, and you can see the split wood forest at the window

Before everyone arrived, two hunting dogs rushed out of the house and grinned at Zhang Niu. The head is not big, but it doesn't look like an ordinary ferocity. Bu Hua and Shi Zao hid behind, and only Zhang Niu stood in front of him and was not afraid of these hounds.

"Big Black, Little Black, come back, this is the guest knows." There was a loud shout from inside the house. The hound, which had been grinning just now, wagged his tail and ran back into the house.

There is no small courtyard in the mountain house, a front door and a back door, this is the style of the village, this house is built by the roadside, and a mountain road winds to the dark and secluded end. In the woods.

"Lao Shan, what is the wind blowing you today?" Out of the room came a muscular man. The beard with a full chin looked energetic, and he was followed by the hound just now.

"It's also rare for me to come in." Pointing to Zhang Niu in the back, they said, "This is a person from a village." Come in and have a look. ”

The bearded man looked very happy, and hurriedly beckoned, showing a simple smile, "Don't stand, everyone, go and sit in the house." He turned around and shouted into the house, "Ah Wang, let your mother boil more tea, there are guests coming."

The fat man is tired from walking early, and it is the best thing to sit down and rest, follow Zhang Liao. Walked in, the house is very clean, although it is a dirt floor, but the cleaning is clean, but today is a rainy day and the ground is a little damp.

The room is simply furnished, with a large wardrobe, table, large wooden bed, and a black and white TV on the table, a large black buffalo horn and a wooden bow can be seen on the wall.

Everyone sat down one after another, and the crackling sound of the fire could be heard in the house, and since there were no exhaust fans, there was naturally smoke in the house.

After sitting down, everyone knew that the man with a beard in front of them was called Zhu Changsheng, an authentic hunter in the mountains, and this house was left by their ancestors.

"Everyone drinks tea, there's nothing to entertain." Zhu Wang enthusiastically put the chrysanthemum tea on the table one by one.

Entertaining others in the mountains is this chrysanthemum tea. Pure mountain chrysanthemums are self-picked, put in white rock sugar, the taste is better, the whole body is slightly hot under the top of the mountain, drink some chrysanthemum tea and feel comfortable.

Everyone drank tea and rested, the body was exceptionally comfortable, the weather outside was as Zhang Shan said, the dark clouds were thick and it didn't take long for it to rain, the rain was not small, with a small wind, forming a slanting wind and rain.

It's raining outside, Zhang Shan, they are not in a hurry, anyway, the party has arrived, and it is not too late to wait for the rain to stop and then go over to discuss things, and the little flowers who are idle and have nothing to do are curious to walk around the house.

There is no courtyard outside, but it is inside. In the middle is like a small courtyard, planted with flowers and plants, that is, there is less well, and the other looks like an ordinary courtyard is not bad, corresponding to the fact that there seem to be a dish family here to live, but when I asked, there were indeed four families here before, and then they all went out and sold to his ancestors, so now they are all immortal.

At the same time in the courtyard, I saw the pipe that had just been passed down in the drinking fountain, and the clear mountain water flowed out of the pipe, and Zhu Wang moved an iron basin over, threw the hare and pheasant on the iron plate, and skillfully plucked the feathers and discarded the skin.

"Lao Shan, you should have come in this time for that matter?" Changsheng held the hookah and smoked the hookah with a grunt.

Zhang Shan knew what Changsheng was talking about. Then he nodded, "That's right, the county notified me to get this matter done as soon as possible, so this time I came in and took a look." It's best to get it done, and everyone can be happy. And glanced at the immortal sitting opposite.

Changsheng, who was smoking a hookah, didn't have any expression on his face, and then sighed, "It's difficult for you to go to the sky, we are hospitable in the mountains, but they are not used to letting them go out to farm." Shake your head and continue to smoke hookah.

Changsheng knew that the environment outside the mountain was good and the transportation was convenient, so there was no need to be like now, but after leaving the familiar environment, they didn't know a single person, and they were not at ease in the mountain outside.

Zhang Shan knows the meaning of immortality, people in the mountains are not used to going outside, and it is difficult to adapt to farming when they are used to the wooden bow all the year round, but fortunately, this time he brought Zhang Niu in, and this thing may be successful.

"The cadres sent last time came back to tell you what you meant, so this time I came over and brought someone from our village, who should be able to arrange your life in the future." Zhang Shan pushed Zhang Niu out.

Zhang Niu, who was slowly drinking chrysanthemum tea, was stunned. If you don't continue to discuss, why the matter has come to me, he still plans to listen to their conversation. He opened his mouth again to mention his meaning, and now he pushed it out to the village chief in the blink of an eye.

The long-term creature also stopped with a hookah, and asked curiously, "Young man? It was a surprise, I don't know what a good idea is. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Shan pointed at Zhang Niu and said proudly, "He is the young man I want to talk about, he has done some things in our village, and some of your skills are useful to him, this time I will bring him up to see if I can help you, the words are not clear, but it is enough for Changsheng to know."

Changsheng listened to Zhang Shanyi. Only then did he pay close attention to the ordinary young man in front of him, and when he saw it, he thought that he was following Zhang Shan to the mountains to play, but it turned out that the seemingly ordinary young man could get an old friend to say this, Changsheng is not a stupid person who knows what this means.

"What the village chief said is too exaggerated, in fact, I just opened a mountain villa, and I heard that immigrants are playing in the mountains. So I'll take a look," Zhang Niu put down the teacup in his hand and said modestly.

"The Lodge?" Changsheng asked. "What are the mountain people of use for your lodge?"

It can't be said that Changsheng is too stupid, but he didn't take into account the project carried out by the villa, Zhang Niu once thought about it but didn't take it to heart, there are so many things to be busy, Zhang Niu is not a god, some places can't take care of it, so he can only put down some ideas first, and the net is good This time he met the village chief who came to invite him to help in the mountain.

Zhang Niu said generously: "I opened a small and small villa at the foot of Daliang Mountain outside, and this time I came to the net to see your hunting skills, I saw Zhu Wang's hunting level on the way before, it is definitely the top quack, I don't have to say, if I let you go farming, I think it's a pity, so I hope you can go outside the mountain." This is not a compliment, but a comparison of what I have seen with my own eyes.

"My son's level is like that, lazy all day long." Although Changsheng said this, he could see pride on his face, and no one minded saying how great his son was, this was to give them a long face, "So you want us to help you hunt?" ”

Zhang Niu hurriedly waved his hand, "That's not what I said, but let you usually be coaches." Teach visitors some archery skills appropriately. And usually you can be a tour guide and take them hunting. ”

The words are very concise, not very difficult to understand, Zhang Niu believes that the immortal in front of him can understand.

"Mutual benefit?" After thinking for a while, Zhu Changsheng came up with such a sentence.

"Hehe, that's what Ah Niu said." Zhang Shan, who was sitting on the side, smiled. "Actually, there's one more thing you don't know, or he wouldn't be looking for you."

"What's the matter?"

"Ah Niu used to contract the entire mountain forest here through a relationship, you say this is not a big deal. This ear is the whole mountain forest, as long as it is not hunting protected animals, there is nothing to do. Zhang Shan believed that these words would definitely be useful to Changsheng.

"The whole forest?" Changsheng was stunned, and naturally knew what this meant, and the action of smoking the hookah stopped.

"Well, that's good news." Zhang Shan saw Changsheng's surprised expression in his eyes. "You should have a count of our Daliang Mountain, and when the mountain is full of prey, I don't need to say more about this."

Zhang Niu watched silently, dealing with the people in the mountains, it was better for the village chief to speak.

"Really?"

Changsheng's tone of voice changed at this time, a little surprised and dazed, the vast mountain contracted to the young man in front of him, this matter is indeed a big thing as Zhang Shan said.

"What the village chief said is right, I did contract the mountains and forests here, and the environment in my current mountain is exceptionally good, and there are some strange-shaped stones, which are very useful for my mountain villa."

Changsheng grunted again, and after hesitating for a while, he stood up, "I can't make a decision on this matter, I'll go to the village over there and ask to see how they decide, you drink tea here first." I'll be back later. He put down his hookah, put on his coat, and walked out the back door.

"Changsheng, it's still so impatient." Zhang Shan smiled when he saw Changsheng who was leaving in a hurry.

"Village Chief, the place you were assigned to is here?" Zhang Niu couldn't help asking, he didn't know where the village chief's assignment was until now, but listening to Changsheng's words, it seemed that this was the range.

I took a few sips of chrysanthemum tea, "The recipe I assigned." It is Yu An, plus the Jiangxi shop below. Wait for Zhang Niu's reaction.

"It turned out to be here, I think Changsheng is still simple, why would people here object to going out?" From what he said just now, and even greeting Zhang Niu, he felt that Changsheng was not an unreasonable person.

"I have known Changsheng for more than ten years, although he lives in the mountains, but every year during the Chinese New Year, he will send some mountain goods out, and he is still very in favor of moving outside. Although it is a pity that the hunting skills are one, but the offspring are better, it is worth it, begging for a wife in the mountains. Reading is a big deal, and the mountains are not as poor as the river." Reading has to go to a long place, walk for a few hours, and then walk back in the afternoon, so it is a good thing for some people in the mountains to move to the outside, at least the place where they study is closer. The daughter-in-law is easy to find. "Zhang Shan doesn't look like a village chief at the moment, but like a catty. People who think about the people of the mountains everywhere.

Zhang Niu has never lived in the mountains, so naturally he doesn't know some of the conditions in the mountains, but seeing the simplicity in the house, Zhang Niu also knows the poverty in the mountains, and moving outside is a good choice.

"Do you think they'll say yes?" Although Zhang Niu said that the two sides were mutually beneficial, he was still a little worried.

Zhang Shan gave a reassuring smile, "You can rest assured about this, they should agree to come down, and when you rectify it, you can try mountain and forest exploration, and then they will have the power to use force." At this time, Zhang Shan didn't have much confidence in his heart, and he always had to pick up the good ones in front of Ah Niu. It's kind of cheering yourself up.

"I hope they'll say yes." Zhang Niu was a little sad, but for the sake of poverty in the mountains, he had to walk more than ten miles to study, and he would be miserable in summer and winter. "Is it still a long way to go to another village?"

"It's a little far away, you have to pass through a mountain forest here to get to the opposite side, there are five households over there, and there are a little more people in Jiangxi."

"I heard that there is a small market for catties here?"

Zhang Shan smiled, "There is such a small place in the mountains, I will take you over tomorrow to take a look, it is in Jiangxipu, it used to be called Yanjiao, but later changed to Qingshui Bay." ”

The time to wait for Zhang Niu felt extraordinarily long. couldn't help but walk to the door of the back door, and saw Zhu Wang skillfully plucking chicken feathers and rabbit skins, which was better than Liangshan's craftsmanship at home.

Standing at the door, the rain is dripping, with a breeze, a little cool feeling, outside the path is the stepped down paddy field, here Zhang Niu saw the paddy field for the first time.

The current paddy field is not planted with rice, but is empty and covered with green weeds, and the paddy field is very small, I don't know how to say it, and it is estimated that it is only about one-third the size of the outside.

Some of the paddy fields are deserted, while others are planted with large fields of cucumbers, which can be seen hanging on bamboo shelves, and their whole bodies are golden and thick, short and short.

Most of the nearby paddy fields are planted with cucumbers. There are also some spicy pieces that are unique to the mountains, and this one is not taken out, but reserved for daily eating.

In this way, it seems that the mountains are indeed poor. First of all, the traffic is inconvenient to rely on picking, which is more than a little worse than the outside villages, although it depends on catching prey, but this can only maintain food and clothing. (To be continued)
