Liu Yi glanced at Liu Songtao lightly: "This is a grave, I heard the elders of the family say that there are dozens of people buried in it!" ”

"Ah, this is a mound!" Liu Songtao said in surprise.

"Yes, all the soldiers buried in it are the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, they came here to fight the bandits and sacrificed, among them a soldier of the People's Liberation Army used his body to block the bullets fired at the ancestors of the Liu family who led the way for them to die, so every year during the Qingming Festival, people in our village will come to worship, even if I don't come here today and wait for two days of Qingming, the weeds and branches around here will be cleaned up."

Decades have passed, and the elders of the Liu family have told future generations about the People's Liberation Army entering the mountains to suppress bandits.

However, the years change, and so do my childhood dreams, when I came into contact with other things, I was attracted to other things. However, the custom of the Liu family in the village to come to the grave of the unknown martyr every year has been preserved intact.

Seeing that Liu Songtao was also full of solemnity, Liu Yi said calmly: "Let's go, let's make it like this here first, and it will save a little trouble when other villagers come in two days, go down, don't let the students below wait for a long time." ”

After speaking, Liu Yi took the lead and walked down, Liu Songtao did not speak and silently followed Liu Yi's footsteps to the bottom of the mountain.

Back in the army, Liu Yi packed his bags and Ye Ziyan's sketchpad and took the lead towards the destination. The classmate who won the boxing guess through rock-paper-scissors just now touched Liu Songtao and said softly: "What's the matter, Brother Liu is not in a very good mood when he comes down from above." What's going on above? ”

"There's a grave up there, Brother Liu just went up and tidied it up!" Liu Songtao replied in a low voice.

"What, there's a grave up there, that's ......" the male classmate raised his voice.

Liu Songtao covered the mouth of the male classmate, looked at the reactions of the surrounding classmates, and whispered: "Be quiet, what are you shouting, let me tell you, this tomb is not simply made of stones, and it is still a tomb of an unknown martyr who came here to suppress bandits." ”

"Really?" Sun Chenghao next to him came over.

The voice of the male classmate just now had already attracted everyone's attention, and most of them were listening carefully to what they were saying. No, as soon as Liu Songtao finished speaking, everyone knew it.

"That's still fake!" So Liu Songtao repeated what Liu Yi had just said to his classmates.

"Wow. Many of the things that Brother Liu told us just now are true? A classmate said.

"Brother Liu, there's no need to lie to us, of course it's true!" The other one affirmed what Liu Yi said just now.

"I can't imagine that there is a tomb of unknown heroes and martyrs in this village!" One said with a sigh.

Another did not know why: "What does the existence of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier have to do with you!" ”

The student who sighed just now asked rhetorically: "Why doesn't it matter, won't it be the Qingming Festival in a few days, and I will also go to worship when I come back." It's not enough to express my admiration for the unsung hero! ”

"But what shall we worship them? Why don't we all come out with a snack? One of the students suggested.

However, it was quickly rejected by a small number of classmates: "Forget it." I left a lot of food at Brother Liu's house just now, and after this period of climbing, the consumption is almost the same, and the lunch will not be settled yet! ”

"Then why don't we go and worship as well? Isn't it disrespectful to those martyrs to be empty-handed like this! ”

"In this way, otherwise Xiao Guo, you will go and kowtow a few times!" A classmate joked about the classmate surnamed Guo who just spoke.

"Hehe, you male classmates are just a bunch of wooden heads, elm pimples, you see so many wildflowers in the mountains, by the way, it's better than what you just suggested!" Wang Jingqian couldn't stand it anymore, so she immediately jumped out and gave them advice.

A group of male classmates also agreed with this opinion and looked at each other for a while, Liu Songtao said: "Why don't you just do it, when we come back, everyone will collect some wild flowers and come over to worship?" ”

The rest of the male classmates immediately replied in unison: "Okay, no problem!" ”

Wang Jingqian, whose opinion was adopted, naturally looked arrogant again, which made Ye Ziyan and the rest of the sisters on her side push her.

Talking and laughing, everyone easily walked to the destination, which is a small pond of only about 2 acres, and the position where Liu Yi and these classmates stood was on the embankment of this natural pond. The pond is flanked on both sides by towering green hills, and it is located in a depression between the two mountains, and a small amount of clean water is constantly poured into the mountains on both sides.

Due to the special location of this pond (several sides are rocky), the plants on several sides of the pond are relatively sparse, but the water quality is quite clear, and even with the naked eye, you can see the gravel all over the bottom of the pond, the small fish shuttling in it, and the mountain crabs crawling in ten minutes.

"Brother Liu, what kind of small fish is in this pond, why haven't I seen it outside?" Wang Jingqian was shouting on the side, and she was not afraid that those small fish would be scared away.

Liu Yi smiled and shook his head: "I don't know what the specific scientific names of these small fish are, but our locals call the kind of small fish with dark green stripes on their bodies 'fire spots' and another kind of fish that looks round and round called 'cutting board fish', and the others are some ordinary small miscellaneous fish." ”

"Fire Burnt Spot" and "Cutting Board Fish" are the most primitive fish species in Liu Yi's hometown, there are many such small fish when Liu Yi was a child, but with the destruction of the environment, the barrenness of farmland and the prevalence of pesticides and fertilizers are slowly almost extinct, and now only a few fish shadows can be found in these small ravines.

"Really, then Brother Liu will go down and help me catch a few and go back to I'll raise them!" Wang Jingqian's tone is really not small.

"You better spare me, I'm not omnipotent, this little fish is not so easy to catch, besides, can you take it back and raise it, this little fish lives in a bad environment and it is easy to die!" Liu Yi patiently explained to Wang Jingqian and some eager classmates next to her.

Many students retreated after listening to Liu Yi's words, but there were still two students who didn't believe that they were ready to try it themselves.

The pond is not deep, only about 1 meter deep, and there is no silt under the pond, and there is nothing to worry about if it is full of stone fragments, but Liu Yi still instructed: "Go down and be careful, don't get your feet cut by stones." ”

"Hey, I still want to get some water in the pond to drink, and now it's all ruined by you." A classmate with an empty drink bottle said regretfully.

His words drew the approval of other students.

"That's it, when he goes into the water, how will we drink the water later, it's impossible for everyone to wash their feet with them!"

"I knew that I would pour a few bottles and store them before they went into the water."

"Brother Liu, can we still find a source of drinking water?" Liu Songtao was next to Liu Yi, and when several classmates were discussing, he saw a smile on the corner of Liu Yi's mouth.

Liu Yi was originally squatting on the stone steps of the embankment, but now he immediately stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you to find water!" ”

Soon Liu Yi led everyone to the bottom of the cliff of one of the mountains, there is a small pool, the size is only 2 square meters, but the water quality inside is more clear and transparent, the water is really spotless, clean and abnormal!

"Taste it all, this is good water, and the geological drilling team that came here a few years ago was full of praise for the water here!" When he finished speaking, he picked it up, poured out the empty bottle of the drink inside, and filled it with water.

The other students saw Liu Yi's appearance and followed suit, picked up the prepared bottle and filled it with water, and couldn't wait to pour it into their mouths before it was full.

"Brother Liu, what the water didn't say, it's so good!"

"Yes, there is a sweet taste after drinking!"

"Why do you feel better than that peasant woman's spring and a little field?"

"Cool, another bottle!"

The funniest thing is that a classmate actually said regretfully: "Oh, I brought too few bottles today, it would be nice to bring a bucket over!" ”

After everyone drank the water refreshingly, a classmate saw that there were several waterholes next to it, but there were obvious traces of artificiality in those ones, and he couldn't help but say curiously: "Brother Liu, these are several waterholes, I see that there are no people living around, and it is useless to build so many!" ”

"Why is it useless, you see......" Liu Yi finished speaking, and pointed to the bottom of the artificially built pools, only to see that several plastic pipes came out of the pools in one pool, and then were stretched down the mountain.

Liu Yi smiled: "I think you all understand it in your hearts now, these water pipes are the tap water pipes installed by the villagers in several households or a yard, and now most of the families in the village eat the mountain spring water that is drawn from the water pipes in the mountain, and it may be possible that I want to improve this aspect a little in the future, so that everyone can use this mountain spring water!" ”

"I said why is the water in Brother Liu's house so delicious, and why is the food so delicious, it turns out that it is because of the water quality, how bad can the dishes watered with these mountain spring water be!" A classmate suddenly realized.

"This can't erase Brother Liu's cooking skills, if you ask Xiao Guo to go, no matter how good the ingredients are, you will spoil them!" It was Xiao Guo who spoke just now, and this time he was hit again.

But apparently their classmates are used to fighting with each other, and the effect classmate nodded disappreciatively: "That's right, if you get it for me, even I won't dare to eat it myself!" ”

When everyone said it, they suddenly laughed!

Seeing that the watch was almost 12 o'clock at noon, Liu Yi waved his hand: "Okay, let's divide up and cooperate, cook and eat immediately!" ”

"Brother Liu, you also brought rice, so we should have a hot meal at noon?" People couldn't believe it. (To be continued......)
