Chapter 9 The Return Journey
"Entrepreneurship, difficulties are always indispensable, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, the road must be taken step by step, there is always a way, and you can't be in a hurry." Brother Chen put on the example of an old teacher, a serious way, he is very aware of Yunli's predicament, but he can't help.
"Yes, I've heard that the teacher is not ordinary at planting potatoes, knowledge is different, don't you often say that knowledge changes fate, Teacher Yun is a student of a famous university, this small problem will definitely be solved quickly." Even Huang Yanli, who had never had a chance to interject, couldn't help but encourage her, in her opinion, this was just a small problem.
Different from her parents' generation, Huang Yanli was born in an era of rapid development, although she is a child of a farmer family, and she has to work in the fields from time to time, but her future is not in this mountain field, and her understanding of farming is far less profound than her parents who have been farmers all their lives.
His daughter's words made Huang Damin a little embarrassed, he knew very well that the severity of the problem was by no means a trivial problem, otherwise the contractors before would not have to run away.
But you can't blame her, their family has only one child, Huang Yanli, and almost all the rest of the family's money is spent on her studies. Huang Yanli did not disappoint them, she is excellent in character and learning, and she is still a representative of learning, and she will go to high school in the county town after the summer vacation.
This may also be the wish of all peasant families, who have been digging in the land all their lives, are well aware of the hardships, and a special case like Yunli is indeed rare.
Yunli's contracting of Xiaolu Mountain caused a sensation in Shanglu Village at that time, and it was difficult for anyone to understand, a famous college student, with good character and a bright future, was willing to be a farmer in this remote mountain village.
After contact, everyone gradually got to know Yunli. Not a gentleman, not crazy, not as enthusiastic as the villagers, but not difficult to get along with, a very motivated young man.
In the eyes of the villagers, Yunli is still a master of planting, just looking at the batch of potatoes he planted, looking all over the entire Shanglu Village, no household dares to say that it can be compared, and he is very willing to recruit workers, which is very popular with farmers.
To this day, Yunli is still a popular figure in the village for chatting after dinner, and many people are still speculating about his identity. Some people say that his major is planting, and he came to the countryside to practice, and some people say that he is the son of a rich family, and when he gets tired of playing, he will leave.
In short, rumors are spreading, but this is just everyone's talk, there is no basis, and no one really asks Yunli for verification in person. In this way, the villagers began to slowly accept this mysterious outsider.
Just when Yun Li was thinking wildly, a noise beckoned him back, it turned out that two wild ducks had been taken out from under the charcoal fire, and Brother Chen and Huang Damin each took one and couldn't wait to knock open the charred mud with sticks.
After a long time of high-temperature barbecue, the mud will become very hard, and there is a fight with bricks, but it is not impossible, while the mud has not become cold, quickly beat along the cracks, and the mud can be broken and disintegrated.
Brother Chen and Huang Damin are both veterans, not to mention the tricks, accompanied by bursts of rich meat aroma, two wild ducks called chicken are presented in front of everyone.
Unlike barbecue, this method varies greatly from place to place, but the purpose is the same, which is to preserve the original taste of the ingredients. The taste is also completely different, the entrance is soft and fragrant, the meat juice is fresh and tender, even if you don't need seasoning to cover up, you can't eat any fishy rustic, very rare.
Yunli first knew the name of the chicken, or in martial arts novels, as for in reality, although it is very famous, but Yunli has not had a chance to meet it, and today it is a wish.
These two wild ducks are a little smaller than the previous barbecue, and it is definitely not enough for five people to eat separately, but everyone is just to taste it, not to mention that the purpose of their entry into the mountain this time is not to hunt game. After eating the wild ducks, everyone rested for a while, and then continued to explore other areas.
The weather in the mountains is like a child's face, it changes when it is said, one moment it is still a sunny day, the next moment it becomes a dark cloud cover, and the rain is pouring down. The showers came and went as fast as they could, and as soon as the clouds left them and found a place to take refuge, the showers quickly receded.
The mountain road after the rain was even more difficult, but they were lucky enough to find a lot of wild pepper seedlings one after another, and achieved the purpose of entering the mountain this time. And Brother Chen even found a purple bamboo tree that was more than ten years old, which was just used to make zuò wind chimes, flutes or other gadgets, and this unexpected harvest made Brother Chen happy.
For Yunli, although he still didn't find a water source, this trip was not without gains, at least he sorted out the problem, and the next step was to find a suitable solution.
In general, this trip into the mountains is still very rewarding, everyone is carrying large bags and small bags, and they return with a full load. On the way back, the sun had already set in the west, and the afterglow reflected the mountains and forests in a fiery red.
"Potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomato, panda, panda, panda's favorite bamboo, is, it starts with the letter b, and I can't remember what B is coming from."
"bamboo, you can imagine this word as, here in Banlu Mountain, it is covered with bamboo, spots, and cloth, so that you can remember it."
"Good?idea, Banlu Mountain is full of bamboo, bamboo, hee."
On the way, Yunli helped Huang Yanli practice English, most of the time Huang Yanli was talking, Yunli nodded from the side, talking and laughing, and the road was not so boring.
"Help?"
"Help, that's easy."?
"No, someone is shouting for help, didn't you hear it?"
Yunli suddenly stopped, motioned for everyone to be silent, listened attentively, and soon found the approximate location of the sound source, and hurriedly explained to everyone:
"Catch up, there's someone shouting for help over here." With that, he raised his leg and ran towards the shout.
Although the others didn't hear Yunli's help, out of trust in him, they didn't think much about it, and they all ran over.
"I hear, on the cliff over there, on this side, there is a shortcut here." After running for a while, the shouting gradually became clear, and Huang Damin was very familiar with the nearby terrain, so he led everyone to take a shortcut.
"It's my cousin's voice, my cousin, I'm Damin, what's wrong?" Huang Damin recognized the owner of the shouting and shouted at the shouting place, but his feet did not slow down at all.
"Come on, the grandson of the Xu Bo family has fallen under the cliff." The answer was bad news.
The incident took place in a cliff, a crack in a large rock, in the shape of a three-dimensional "V", about four or five stories high. The cliff face and the bottom are overgrown with all kinds of vines and weeds, and even adults who enter it will be overwhelmed by the greenery.
The cousin-in-law in Huang Damin's mouth is a dark and thin middle-aged woman, and she is also the wife of one of Huang Damin's cousins.
The husband and wife were also on the way back, but when they passed the cliff, they happened to meet the neighbor Xu Bo, who was clutching the vines on the cliff wall and sliding down. Under questioning, he learned that his grandson Xu Rui fell to the bottom of the cliff, and the old man was nervous about his grandson, so he climbed down without thinking about it, and he was silent in a blink of an eye.
The cousin-in-law and his wife could not persuade Uncle Xu, so they had to go their separate ways, and her husband rushed to another way out of the mountain and called for other farmers to help, while she stayed here.
Xu Rui is the student who wears a peaked cap, and on the way into the mountain to cut bamboo in the morning, he and others gathered around Yunli to talk and laugh, but he didn't expect this incident to happen now.
"How long has it been since it fell?" After listening to his sister-in-law's description, Brother Chen asked out loud. Although he does not have any substantive leadership position, in Luzhen Middle School, no one has stayed longer than Brother Chen, and he will never stand idly by if a student has such an accident.
"In less than ten minutes, no matter how I shouted, there was no response at all, it was really embarrassing, for that little peppercorn, it was really not worth it." The sister-in-law replied truthfully and also explained the cause of the accident.
There is an old pepper tree growing on the side of the cliff, and Xu Rui fell down when he climbed up to pick peppercorns. There were a few showers of rain in the mountains in the afternoon, whether it was walking or climbing trees, if you were not careful, it was easy to fall over.
"By the way, Ah Ci also went down, she found out about the situation here earlier than us, Xu Bo didn't respond after going down, so she followed the vines." The sister-in-law added.
"Ah Ci, is it Lu Ci?" Hearing Lu Ci's name, Yun Li was surprised and immediately asked.
"Yes, it's the black girl, she didn't respond after she went down, I don't know what happened to them." The sister-in-law replied.
Speaking of which, when she was cutting bamboo in the morning, everyone worked separately and didn't notice her movements. Generally speaking, even if Lu Ci enters the mountain, then she is alone, and other farmers will probably not be with her, after all, her affairs have not yet been resolved.
Unexpectedly, she dared to enter the mountain alone, and now she is still in an unknown predicament, which makes Yunli both surprised and worried.
"The more it drags on, the worse the situation becomes, I'll climb down and see how it goes." Yunli knew that it was not a way to wait, so he volunteered to go down the cliff.
"That's the only way, let's quickly cut some vines and make long rattans, and wait for the pull-down person to come up and use it." In this case, Brother Chen could only reluctantly agree to Yunli's mention and command everyone to harvest the vines.
Yun Li is not an impulsive person, he knows the current situation very well, and if he delays for a point, Lu Ci's situation will be more dangerous. Moreover, he was very confident in his reflexes and skills, so he followed the rattan on the cliff and began to climb down the crack.
