Chapter 8 Under the River Village

With the memory of childhood, Li Yu saw a giant tree full of red silk cloth, the branches are oblique and horizontal, chaotic and interlaced into layers, pavilions such as covers, the roots of the tree are intertwined, vigorous and powerful, looking at the yellow neem tree next to it has a different beauty, the lower part of the trunk is an arched tree hole, like a small tree house, in which an incense burner is placed, with a dense burning incense tail inserted on it, on the trunk behind the incense burner, Li Yu saw a yellow tree card, on which the four characters of neem Daxian are written with a brush, The handwriting was already a little blurry, and there was a straw futon woven of straw outside, still new.

Li Yu now looks at this tree has no awe, only admiration, this tree only has the bark of half of the tree outside to support the whole tree, this tree is still so luxuriant, full of vitality, more verdant and thick than the neem tree next to it, I have to say that this neem tree has tenacious vitality.

"Boss, do we want to worship this neem immortal." The monkey suddenly stepped forward and said to Li Yu.

"Forget it! If you want to worship you, what are we two big men worshipping here? Li Yu rolled his eyes.

The monkey smiled, "I'm just saying, the front is a staggered gorge, don't I just want to ask for peace!" ”

"Since you ask for peace and don't worship, why do you still have to say it." Li Yu was completely speechless.

The staggered gorge is two vertically erected cliffs, the two cliffs are diagonally opposite to each other like staggered dogs' teeth, and the people in the village are too lazy to take the name, so it is called the staggered gorge.

At the bottom of the gorge is an open valley, where a gurgling stream gathers a deep pool, there are many rice paddies on both sides, and a bluestone road passes under the cliff, and the cliff is full of strange rocks, some protruding above the road, and the timid people dare not look up when passing below, and those huge stones tremble overhead as if they can fall at any time.

Li Yu still remembers that he wrote an essay on "Bitter Bamboo Growing Between the Stone Crevices" when he was a child, and won a children's excellent essay award.

There has never been a stone on the cliff that has rolled down and hit someone, but for peace of mind, the villagers who enter the village will usually pay homage to the Neem Daxian, so the monkey says so.

The two walked through the staggered gorge unharmed, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and a vast mountain basin appeared, which was crisscrossed by rivers and ponds, and interspersed with buildings and cottages.

This is the back village, where Li Yu grew up for ten years, leaving deep and beautiful memories of his childhood, in his dreams he returned to this place countless times, woke up in an indifferent and ruthless city, and now, he finally came back, really stepping on this land.

"After all these years, nothing has changed here! It's still so beautiful! ”

"Boss, why hasn't it changed, there are more rich people in the village, you see how there are those beautiful little western-style buildings! Tsk, it's so beautiful," the monkey interrupted Li Yu's words, pointed to the two-story building half-hidden in the woods, and said enviously, "Our house is still a mud wall, how can we have money to build a building if we stay in the village!" ”

"Aren't you out there earning money? Now let's go build a small western-style building! Li Yu said angrily.

The monkey didn't care about Li Yu's unhappy face at all, and said with a bitter face, "Boss, you know me, I don't earn enough to spend, where did I get the money to build a house!" ”

However, the monkey suddenly became confident and said, "But I believe that I will build a beautiful house in the near future." ”

Li Yu asked curiously, "How do you know that you will build a house soon, do you want to inherit an inheritance?" ”

"Because of you, the boss! I will definitely earn money with you, build a house, and marry a beautiful wife! The monkey said as a matter of course.

Li Yu opened his mouth, gave himself a slap, and left without saying a word.

"Boss, wait for me!"

The monkey chased and shouted after him.

Li Yu and the monkey have a good relationship, and it is common for each other to tear each other down, but for the monkey Li Yu has actually counted him in his future team in his heart, and good brothers are to share the benefits together.

The creek passes through the back village, all the way to Qingyun Mountain behind, and this bluestone road also follows the stream, and if you go along the stream, you will reach Li Yu's grandfather's house.

The monkey wanted to go to his aunt's house first, and he informed his aunt early in the morning that he was coming back, and his aunt had already prepared lunch and was waiting for him, so he separated from Li Yu at a fork in the road, and Li Yu asked him to come over for dinner in the evening.

Walking to a remote place, Li Yu took out a large bag of things from the space, which were all gifts for his grandparents, and he kept them in the space for laziness.

It's afternoon, the sun is still very hot, there is no one in the field at all, and Li Yu is not worried about being seen.

There is a large piece of verdant bamboo forest next to the bluestone road, the bluestone road is divided into two, one goes west along the stream, and the other is paved into the bamboo forest.

This piece of bamboo is planted by Li Yu's grandfather, the people in the village actually like to plant water bamboo and spotted bamboo, water bamboo can be used to weave bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, dustpans - spotted bamboo texture is hard, the branches are straight and good-looking, used to make a chair, flat shoulder and the like.

These bamboos come from Zhushan, where the bamboos are diverse, all over the mountains and bamboos, the villagers need the bamboo to look for there, the torso of the bamboo is round and thick, burly and tall, the bamboo forest is green and shady, the cool breeze is blowing, put a cool bed in the summer, make a cup of tea, and can lie down for an afternoon.

Walking through the bamboo forest, a clean and plain house with blue tiles and white walls appeared in front of me, looking antique and unique, this is Li Yu's grandfather's house.
