CHAPTER XLIV
He Sai patiently waited under the sun by the car, Chen Zhu vomited the contents of his stomach, took the water handed by Fan Chen and rinsed his mouth, Li Jingze's medicine box fortunately had motion sickness medicine, Chen Zhu swallowed two pills directly.
"Okay, no." He Sai couldn't help but urge, "There are still two hours to go, and you can't enter the village if you don't rush at night." ”
Fan Chen frowned, as if he wanted to refute him, but was stopped by Chen Zhu.
"Here we are." She stood up with her knees stretched, and Li Jingze was about to help her, but Chen Zhu refused.
She motioned for Fan Chen to get in the car first.
"Got it all right?" He Sai asked casually, "You won't vomit again, will you?" ”
Chen Zhu wiped her mouth, her expression was calm, and she said lightly: "I will try to swallow it back before spitting." ”
"......" He Sai made a "you are disgusting" expression.
Li Jingze also got into the car, but he couldn't help but still instructed: "It's better to drive slower." ”
He Sai pursed his lips with disdain, but the speed of driving was indeed much slower, and it seemed that he intended to take care of Chen Zhu.
After driving for more than an hour, at the foot of a new mountain, Hosella opened the door and motioned for everyone to come down.
Fan Chen looked around and wondered, "Arrived?" ”
Chen Zhu and Li Jingze got out of the car with their front and back feet, and they were not sure for a while.
They parked in a parking lot near a small intersection - if this small earthwork was also a parking lot, the mountain road in front of them was narrower and steeper than the previous one, and it was impossible to drive a car no matter how you looked at it.
He Sai spoke a few words in an unintelligible dialect to an old farmer in the distance, and the old farmer waved his hand and went down to the field on the side, and after a while, he actually led the head of the big buffalo and walked up.
Everyone: "......"
He Sai's face was "not surprising!" Surprised! He grinned and reached out to pat the cow's back: "Let's sit in this." ”
Fan Chen's expression could already be called terrifying, she watched the old farmer spread hay in the wooden cart pulled behind the oxen, and put the luggage of several people first.
"Do we have to sit on this?!" Fan Chen's whole person refused.
He Sai stepped onto the back of the cow, and he glanced at the other party: "I don't have a problem if you want to climb three mountains by walking." ”
Fan Chen: "......"
Li Jingze got on the cart first, he stretched out his hand to pull Fan Chen up, Chen Zhu followed closely and sat on the outside, He Sai glanced back and advised, "Help it up." ”
Several people hurriedly held on to the edge of the plank.
He Sai waved his whip and shouted, "Walk!" ”
The buffalo made a low moo sound and shook its poked head and stepped out of its hooves.
It looks terrible when you don't sit on it, but when you sit on it, you find that it's actually much better than you imagined, although it's still bumpy, but the speed is not fast, after getting used to it, except for the pain in the buttocks, there are really no major shortcomings.
Compared with Chen Zhu and Li Jingze's adaptation, Fan Chen thought a little too much, she didn't dare to really sit down next to the hay, and always asked vigorously: "There won't be lice on this, right?" ”
He Sai drove the cow without looking back, and mocked in a mocking tone: "There are no insects in the mountains?" Wait until you go down to the place to take a shower and spray medicine, and you'll be fine, squeamish or something. ”
Fan Chen muttered angrily: "It's not you who was bitten." ”
Chen Zhu didn't have much energy to pay attention to the bickering between the two of them, she had vomited all her things before, and she didn't have much strength in her body, so she didn't pay much attention to it, and almost the whole person was half lying on the hay, she supported her chin, and her elbows rested on the edge of the cart.
Li Jingze glanced at her, took a deep breath and said, "The air is so good." ”
Chen Zhu said "um" softly, she squinted, her face was much better than before in the car, and the evening breeze in the mountains blew on her hair, like a thick layer of mist.
It was quiet all around, and the sound of birds returning late came from afar, and the rhythm of the cow's hooves on the gravel mixed with the sound of the wheels slowed down the whole time.
Because it is a mountain road, the light level is very low, there are rows of grass and trees above and below, and the branches and leaves block most of the sunshine, even on a hot day, the temperature is very cool, and the mountain wind is gradually blowing, Fan Chen has no time to quarrel with He Sai anymore, rubbing his arms and pulling out a coat from the suitcase to put it on.
I don't know if I turned to the first few mountains, a big mouth suddenly opened in front of me, Chen Zhu looked down, and saw a clear lake surrounded by mountains, unknown water birds flew out of the mountains, swept across the lake, and brought a ripple.
Fan Chen probably saw such a scene for the first time, and couldn't help but exclaim.
He Sai stopped the ox cart and explained gently for the first time: "This is Xiushui Lake." ”
In the evening, when the sun was setting, the afterglow sprinkled over the sparkling lake, and the puddle of water seemed to be lit, and people's hearts were hot.
"It's beautiful." Li Jingze said with emotion.
He Sai seemed very proud, he held the whip and pointed to a small village not far from the lake: "We live there at night, we are all family members in the village, you are welcome." ”
Fan Chen became interested: "Farmhouse? B&B? ”
He Sai drove the ox and continued to walk forward, and his tone returned to the previous hanger: "Let's not do that thing, you will know when you get to the place." ”
As He Sai said, if the road drags a little, they will have to get dark before they can enter the village, no, when they get to the place where they can get off, if it weren't for someone from the village carrying a light to pick them up, a few people might not even be able to see the road clearly.
It was a young man who came to pick up people, and he said hello to He Sai in dialect, and they could still speak Mandarin to Chen Zhu, but it was not very standard.
"Welcome, welcome!" The young man said enthusiastically, "My name is He Jiajun." ”
Chen Zhu shook hands with him: "I am the head of personal finance of DW Bank, Chen Zhu. ”
The young man could only see a mouthful of white teeth when he smiled: "Zi Dao Zi Dao, the bank leader!" ”
He Sai patted the other party's scalp: "Don't talk nonsense, take someone in to rest and eat." ”
He Jiajun covered his head and was not angry, he smiled and led people to the village: "Cing (hard) along the way, we are all looking forward to ziu (long)!" ”
Chen Zhu and they were really not used to being treated so warmly, and the road into the village was not very easy to walk, a few people were one foot deep and one foot shallow, He Jiajun and He Sai had to help them follow the road everywhere, and the last group finally stumbled into the village.
Unexpectedly, everyone in the village was waiting at the entrance of the village.
Different from Chen Zhu's imagination, there are many young people in the village, not like the kind of poor county where only the elderly and children are left behind, but the total number is not much. ”
said that it was hospitality, but it was really not sloppy at all, and I didn't know what local customs were, but I actually opened a banquet in a large courtyard, and the round table was full of vegetables, and it was really the mountain delicacies and game that He Sai boasted about before eating.
The locals also brought out the wine jar, and Li Jingze's face changed when he saw it.
"It's made in the boss's own home." He Sai took a jar of wine over, this brewing looks like an ancient method, the mouth of the altar is still sealed with mud, He Sai slapped hard, and the mud fell down.
Chen Zhu: "......"
He Sai used a bowl to pick up a large sea mouth for her, held the jar himself, and said arrogantly: "I did it, you are free!" ”
Chen Zhu lowered her head and held her wine bowl, she looked up at He Sai who was holding the jar and pouring it directly, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
