Chapter 20: Into the Mountain

After breakfast, Zhang Taiping informed his wife, and then took Ah Huang for a casual stroll around the nearby hills. It would be better if there was an eagle, leading the dog to the sky, roaring the mountains and forests, how fast. From the south side of the village to the north side of the surrounding hills, it is close to noon before walking slowly down the main road.

When you meet someone you know on the way, say hello and gossip. In fact, the villagers are very simple, as long as you don't deliberately infringe on their interests, they are very friendly, easy to get along with, and easy to satisfy. Although Zhang Dashuai was not so bad that he had sores on the top of his head and pus on the soles of his feet and everyone spurned him, he was also notorious, and many villagers did not know him at all, but just subconsciously wanted to avoid him and did not want to have too much contact with him. After the wild boar incident, the villagers changed their attitude towards him slightly, as the saying goes, "eat people with short mouths, take people softly", so that the wild boar is also hunted by Zhang Taiping, and each family has a pound or two of pork, so they can also show a smile and say hello when they meet.

When I came to the only commissary, there was only one little doll, and I asked for a box of five hard "monkey kings". Zhang Taiping took out a five-yuan bill, the little doll had just received it in his hand, and a plump middle-aged woman in the back door opened the curtain and came in.

"You see that the little baby is not sensible, how can we collect money from the big brother in our store, if it weren't for the big brother, my family wouldn't know what to do. This is not still lying in bed, I have been very busy these days, and I haven't had time to say thank you to the door, how can I collect money. ”

The mouth in the woman's mouth is Wang Bajin. This commissary is Wang Bajin's house, the woman's name is Han Cuihua, is Wang Bajin's wife, usually sharp mouth, thin lips like knives to be unforgiving, at home is also the shopkeeper, Wang Bajin is cleaned up obediently, typical "tracheitis".

Although this woman's mouth is like a knife, she is not mean, and she knows that she loves her own man. It is one thing to manage her husband strictly, but he does not abuse him, he has no less than three meals a day, and Wang Bajin has never been frozen all year round. is sincerely grateful to Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping handed it to the little baby again and said, "At that time, no matter who sees it, they will help it." ”

The little baby looked at the old lady and did not take the money. Han Cuihua pushed Zhang Taiping's hand back and said angrily.

"Big brother, you look down on people, my family's mouth is also a life, isn't it worth a box of cigarettes?"

Zhang Taiping smiled bitterly, as if Zhang Taiping disliked a box of cigarettes and wanted something more generous, so he had to put the money back in his pocket. Before going out, I heard Han Cuihua shouting, "Big brother, I have time to come to the house for dinner." Zhang Taiping smiled and didn't take it to heart. The villagers also have a peasant-like cunning, like this kind of box of cigarettes is still a favor, and a shout represents a meal.

When I passed by the big field in the center of the village, I saw a small figure hiding behind a big tree on the side of the field, and I couldn't stop looking into the field.

A large field like this is of great use in mountainous rural areas. Since most of the mountains are sloping, modern harvesting machines cannot enter the fields, and when the wheat is harvested in the summer, the plain people cut it. After cutting and bundling neatly, pull it to the threshing field with a rack cart, stand up one by one, and after all the cuts are finished and dry, use a tractor to pull the stone stone and grind it several times, and there are fewer people pushing or pulling the stone stone to grind. The milled wheat straw is piled up on the sidelines, which is a kind of firewood that is convenient and easy to burn, and some people will come to collect the wheat straw, and a pile can also be sold for one or two hundred. The wheat grains that have been milled cannot be stored immediately, and they must be dried in the field to prevent mold. After the autumn harvest, the corn stalks are also fenced and stacked on the field, and after the air is dried, it is firewood for the winter.

When she came to the back of the big tree, the little girl shrank and secretly watched, but she didn't notice Zhang Taiping's arrival. Following Yaya's eyes, there is a group of children in the field, playing games. There is never a shortage of games in childhood, and what is childish and ridiculous in the eyes of adults is a source of happiness in the eyes of children, and often a small thing or a small thing can lead to happiness in an afternoon, a day or even a few days. Only by not being consumed by the desire for profit and being dominated by intelligence can we easily obtain satisfaction and happiness, and when we grow up, we will be dominated by all kinds of external things and lose the original intention of pursuing happiness.

"Why don't you go and play together?" Asked softly.

The little girl trembled suddenly, turned around and leaned her back against the tree, and saw that it was Zhang Taiping who relieved herself, the corners of her mouth immediately flattened, and her eyes began to fill with tears.

Zhang Taiping squatted down and blew the little girl's eyes pityingly and asked, "What's the matter, who bullied you?" Tell Daddy and Daddy will clean him up. ”

The little girl choked up aggrievedly: "They say that my mother is dumb, and that my father is a gambler and doesn't play with Yaya." ”

"Do you want to play with them, then?"

"Yes," the little girl replied hesitantly, her big eyes flashing with sparkles.

"Dad has a way to let them play with Yaya, but it's noon now, so I'll go home and have dinner first, and then come back in the afternoon." As he spoke, he lifted the girl up and put it on her shoulder.

After lunch, as soon as she put down the bowl, Yaya ran to Zhang Taiping, staring at him with big watery eyes. Zhang Taiping understood, opened the cabinet and took out a bunch of snacks and put them in the pocket in front of her little belly, and gave her an idea to give each little baby a copy. When the little girl came home in the evening, she was really smiling, holding Zhang Taiping's arm and telling about the various games she had done in the afternoon. Zhang Taiping gave her a few more ideas, and the little girl kept them in mind attentively.

The next day, Zhang Taiping got up early, loaded a shovel and put it in the space, thought about it and loaded a machete for chopping wood, carried the dry food prepared by his wife last night, gently covered the door, and marched towards the mountain in the twilight that had not yet receded.

Zhang Taiping's entry into the mountain this time was purely to cover up the saffron that was about to be sold, otherwise, a large sum of money suddenly appeared, which not only could not be explained to others, but also to the people around him. A trip to the mountains can shift people's attention to the magic of the mountains and the exploration of the mountains. The reason for his wife is that he has seen a precious medicinal herb in the mountains in the past, but it has not grown at that time, so he left it to dig it up now, and it can be sold for a lot of money.

When the sun does not come out, the mountains are quieter than the night, the insects and birds are singing, the mist that rises from the night is filled, and the black curtain that is still nostalgic is enveloped in the mountains and forests, and only the deep valley can occasionally be fortunate to encounter the panorama. The scenery that appears and disappears from time to time makes people feel like they are in a dream, and they can't see the future clearly, and they can't look back on the way they came. This is also resting in Zhang Taiping, who is not strong and timid, and really does not dare to walk alone through the Mingqi mountains and forests that seem to be able to swallow people.

Breathing in the moist and fresh air, Zhang Taiping walked faster and faster. Since getting the magical space, the body has been constantly transformed, but I can feel that the strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance are all improving over time, and I have never fully exerted my strength and speed. Zhang Taiping has a hunch that if it is released completely without restrictions, it will surpass the limits created by modern people and reach an appalling level, so he has been patient with the kind of ** that does not explode and is not happy.

Early in the morning, in the mountains, I am not afraid of shocking the world, and let go of the locks of my mind on my body. A violent force burst out from the bone marrow, as if it wanted to burst the body. The body adjusted automatically, the legs were violently exerted, and a pit of more than ten centimeters appeared under his feet, and the person ejected like a projectile. Sometimes like a bear, every time it lands, it is accompanied by a thumping vibration; Sometimes it is like a spirit climbing and jumping in the forest, blowing like a wind across rivers and stone streams.

Zhang Taiping's feeling now is very strange, as if he is out of his body, his mind is calm and curious, staring at the body that is running and jumping without much acceleration. With the catharsis of power, the irritable ** in my heart gradually subsided. The strength is like a flood that bursts an embankment, and the speed suddenly increases to the extreme, and the body suddenly jumps up, rushing downward with the momentum of wind and thunder at a speed that surpasses everything. A series of afterimages gathered in one place, only to hear the sound of "boom", the stones under his feet cracked in response, and the surging power burst out along his arms and bombarded the trunk of the tree with a thick fist. The tree didn't shake, but when the fist left the tree, there was a creaking sound at the fist print, and the canopy suddenly toppled over.

Zhang Taiping suddenly came back to his senses, only to feel that his mind was clear, his whole body was comfortable, and the restlessness accumulated in his chest had long since disappeared, like a calm ocean with wind and waves, wide and boundless.

Looking back at the finger mountain that had been left far behind, the sun's rays were not too strong, and a halo was gilded on its edges, like a golden giant sword cutting through the curtain of night and reaching the sky. Looking at the time, I roughly estimated the distance, and felt that it was unbelievable that in less than half an hour, I had crossed three mountains for more than ten miles. Mountain roads can be different from flat roads, and ten-mile mountain roads are equivalent to thirty or forty miles of flat roads, which still does not take into account the circling dangers of mountain roads. You can see the speed at which it was fully exploding at that time.

I can't help but think in my heart, I am also a martial artist, half a superman, right? I don't know if there are any fairies and monsters in this world, and there are urban abilities written in the novel, if there is, then this world is too crazy. Thinking of this, he shook his head and threw these distracting thoughts out of his head, it was really stupid, now that science is so developed, it has long been proved that there are no gods and ghosts in the world, everything is just people's fantasy. But how do you explain your own space? Zhang Taiping has never been a master who drills the horns of the bull, I really can't figure it out, so I don't want to, whether there are immortals or not doesn't care about his own business for the time being, as long as he controls his usual behavior and performance, don't be too shocking.
