Chapter 22: Overnight
Yundian's unique bamboo building village was already in sight, and Ye Yang had been walking in the forest for three hours at this time.
Beckoning Jin Ling to stand on his shoulder, Ye Yang took out three hares from the space, and Shi Shiran walked towards the village.
On the way, I saw a middle-aged man digging bamboo shoots, and at the same time, the middle-aged man also noticed the arrival of Ye Yang, a stranger.
"Hello uncle, I came from outside to travel, everyone is called a travel friend, belonging to the self-help travel friend, walking in the mountains and getting lost, can I rest here with you?"
Ye Yang asked with a smile on his face while carrying the three rabbits.
Seeing Ye Yang carrying his bags, although the beard on his mouth was half an inch long, he was fair-skinned, and he didn't look like a bad person, let alone those hateful dealers who went into the deep mountains and old forests to find ancient tea trees and rare objects, and he also carried a strange bird on his shoulder, the thin middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, and said with a simple and wooden smile: "Hello young man, we are here in Nanzhu Village on the border, since we met, it belongs to fate, let's go to my house to sit down, and take a break by the way." ”
"Uncle Xie Lu, Uncle Xie! I haven't eaten rice in a few days, and this is a few rabbits caught on the road, so I bothered my uncle to deal with it. ”
Ye Yang was moved by the middle-aged uncle's kind smile and simplicity, and handed the rabbit in his hand to the uncle's hand with a smile and said.
The middle-aged uncle hesitated for a moment, but finally took the three rabbits in Ye Yang's hands. He doesn't belong to the hunters, just ploughing a few acres of thin fields, raising a few pigs and a few chickens, usually digging bamboo shoots and mountain goods in exchange for some money to come back to maintain the family and support a few children to study, in addition, there is basically no other income, life is very hard, especially recently a little thing has happened to the family, life is more difficult, almost let him collapse, has been a few months without the taste of meat.
"Uncle, come, I'll take a hand."
Ye Yang didn't have too much politeness with the middle-aged uncle, helped pack the bamboo shoots on the ground into the frame, and then picked them on his shoulders and followed behind the middle-aged uncle.
The middle-aged uncle originally wanted to excuse himself, but he didn't expect that Ye Yang would be like a veteran, pick up the job and do it, he couldn't refuse, he couldn't refuse, he could only smile plainly, and he couldn't do it.
"Master, I'm hungry too."
When Jin Ling heard their conversation, he seemed to be a little depressed by the two of them, and said with a grumble.
"Shut up!"
Ye Yang whispered and said. Ye Yang already knew what this Jin Ling was thinking, but he was just bored and wanted to attract the attention of others.
"Young man, this little bird of yours is so smart, I didn't expect it to speak."
Mu Ne's middle-aged uncle couldn't help but look at Jin Ling with admiration, glanced at him in surprise, and said.
"Uncle smiled, this guy's name is Jin Ling, I got lost in the mountains, and it was this guy who brought me out of it."
Ye Yang explained.
How did you know that when Jin Ling heard Ye Yang's praise, he held his head high and pretended to be old, vivid, so that the middle-aged uncle was amazed when he saw it.
The two talked and laughed, and soon returned to the middle-aged uncle's house.
"Abba, this is ......"
A thin little girl of twelve or thirteen years old asked timidly when she saw the stranger behind her father.
"Second sister, this is a tourist from outside the mountain, lost in the mountains, and came to us, go to your grandma, let her come back, say that there is a guest coming, let her go home and prepare to cook and entertain the guests."
The middle-aged uncle seemed to have a lot of prestige at home, and when he saw his daughter, he immediately commanded.
"Abba, you're back?"
Immediately afterwards, a little boy of seven or eight years old came out of the house, his eyes were clear, his face was simple, and he looked very cute.
"Brother, it's just right, you go to find Grandma and come back, saying that a guest is coming, I'll go pick vegetables now."
It is really true that the children of poor families are in charge of the house early, and when a teenage girl sees a guest coming, she knows how to arrange her work. When Ye Yang saw it, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, thinking of his childhood shadow.
"Little brother, little sister, you all come here. I've eaten all the things I brought with me in the mountains, and I didn't bring you any gifts, so I'll buy you some candy to eat with this money. ”
Ye Yang took out two fifty-denomination banknotes from his pocket and handed them over.
"This ......, young man. This...... How embarrassing is that? ”
The middle-aged uncle wanted to refuse in one breath, but his confidence didn't seem to be hard, so he just hesitated for a while and acquiesced.
The little boy took it without a trace of hesitation, and the little girl was very sensible, glanced at her father, and after getting Abba's approval, she had the courage to take it.
Fifty yuan is a lot of money in the mountains. Ordinary people work for only 50 yuan a day, not because of the low price, but because there are more people here and less work, and labor is not valuable.
The two children were busy quickly, Ye Yang looked at the owner's home, it was the most common bamboo building in Yundian, very simple, with two floors, the first floor was for livestock and firewood, and the second floor was lived, and there were not many rooms, including four kitchens.
"Uncle, my name is Ye Yang, and I haven't asked for my name yet."
Pulling his gaze back, Ye Yang looked at his master and asked.
"Hello Mr. Ye, my name is Mu Lisong, just call me Ah Song."
The middle-aged uncle said in a humble voice, obviously a person who doesn't talk much and is more diligent.
The housewife came back soon, and Ah Song enthusiastically introduced Ye Yang to his tenants, thanks to Ye Yang's two fifty yuan. The hands and feet of the housewife in the mountains are very quick, and they don't work hard, so they bring up the dishes, one is rabbit stewed fresh bamboo shoots, one is rabbit stewed yam soup, one is rabbit fried mushrooms, and the remaining one is green vegetables. Without wine, it is obvious that the economic situation of Ah Song's family is very embarrassing, which is dispensable for Ye Yang.
Although there are not many dishes, they are completely processed by the rabbits brought by Ye Yang, but the housewife's cooking skills are very good, and the heat and seasoning are just right, which makes Ye Yang eat very refreshing.
However, because Ye Yang was a guest, the second sister and the younger brother sitting together were very cautious and did not dare to let go of their appetite to eat, but their eyes were shining staring at the rabbit meat on the plate.
"Second sister, come, eat a piece of meat."
Ye Yang saw the second sister's hesitation and restraint, and casually put a few large pieces of rabbit meat into her bowl, the second sister lowered her head, and silently ate the rabbit meat with tears in her eyes, without saying a word.
"Mr. Ye, you don't have to worry about them, the children will eat it themselves."
In front of the guests, Ah Song's tenant still showed enough respect for Ye Yang and stopped and said.
Of course, Ye Yang knew that this was just a polite word from the people in the mountains, so he couldn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Children should eat more meat when they are growing their bodies, and I can't eat all of them." ”
Ye Yang's situation in Ah Song's family was clear at a glance, and he didn't say much. Just politely sandwiched a few pieces of rabbit meat for the two children, which made the Asong couple very moved. It was the first time they had met such a considerate guest, not only did they not dislike their poor family, but they were also very good at caring about others, Ye Yang's behavior almost made Ah Song and his wife feel like they wanted to cry.
After eating, Ye Yang sat in front of the balcony to rest. The second sister saw that Jin Ling on Ye Yang's shoulder was very cute, and she came over with courage, and looked at Jin Ling's various movements and let out an innocent smile.
"Second sister, what's your name?"
Although this second sister is a little thin, she is very natural and simple, which makes Ye Yang feel an inexplicable sense of closeness to her.
"My name is Mu Guoguo, and my brother's name is Mu Zilong."
The second sister flashed her eyes and looked at the brother next to her, and introduced by the way.
"Guoguo, have you started reading?"
Ye Yang felt strange, now should be the time to go to school, why did Ah Song's two children stay at home?
Mu Guoguo didn't say anything, she was a little silent, maybe Ye Yang's words hit the softest place in her heart.
"The family is poor."
Mu Zilong didn't seem to have as much thought as Mu Guoguo, and said with his mouth open.
