Chapter 3 Mountain Village

After Ye Wen bought an off-road vehicle, he was very excited, Ye Wen did not have a car in the later life, but he had a car when he crossed here, Ye Wen's driving skills are not very good, but there is no traffic police here, and he does not need a driver's license, and he can find an open place to practice casually, coupled with Xiaokong's guidance, he is not afraid of not getting started. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In this way, after Ye Wen practiced driving almost enough, he began to hurry, as long as he encountered a place with wide terrain that was very suitable for driving, Ye Wen drove an off-road vehicle, played beautiful music, and sang loudly, very happy.

Only when he can't drive through the place or gets stuck in the mud and can't drive, Ye Wen will stop and put the off-road vehicle in the space, and then walk over, and in the process of walking, he encounters some more ordinary herbs, Ye Wen doesn't bother to pay attention to them, only when he encounters precious medicinal materials, Ye Wen will pick them for a little currency.

In this way, Ye Wen walked away, drove for about a month, and finally on a dark evening with heavy rain, Ye Wen drove a muddy off-road vehicle to a small mountain village at the foot of a mountain.

Because it was almost evening, it was raining heavily, all the houses in the village were closed, and the villagers had rested early because there were no entertainment activities, so they could not see or hear the off-road vehicles outside the village and its roar.

Ye Wen put on a backpack in the car, put on a raincoat and rubber shoes, got out of the car with a shotgun, put the off-road vehicle into the space, walked to the mountain village, walked to a house, knocked on the courtyard door, the rain was too loud, Ye Wen was afraid that they would not hear it, and shouted loudly.

After shouting for about two minutes, there was movement in the courtyard, and after a while, an old man with a gray beard wearing a hat opened a small slit and looked at Ye Wen.

"What happened to this afterlife?"

...... (This dialect, or Xiaokong translated it literally, well, it will be solved later, we won't delve into the title of the Tang Dynasty, it's too troublesome, you just need to understand it, or don't have a headache.) )

"Old uncle, my family was originally hidden in the mountains, and then suffered a catastrophe, so I fell here, and I deliberately stayed here for a night." Ye Wen organized the language by himself and asked Xiaokong to translate it into words in dialects, and Ye Wen read along, with a feeling of choking to death by pronouncing yes.

"Well, I don't have any vacant room here, only a firewood room, if Lang Jun doesn't dislike it..."The white-bearded old man looked at this Ye Wenqi in strange clothes, and his language was also very blunt, but he was quite polite and didn't look like a villain, so he didn't refuse.

"It's okay, it's just a night's stay, and there's nothing special about it."

"Then come with me." The white-bearded old man opened the courtyard door and welcomed Ye Wen in.

Ye Wen thanked him, entered the courtyard, and followed the white-bearded old man to the firewood room.

This is just a small room, firewood accounts for about two-thirds, the old man entered the house and took the initiative to carry a bundle of firewood aside, Ye Wen was polite and humble, and could only watch him put the firewood aside, after all, this room is narrow, and he can't help much.

The old man vacated a place for people to sleep, picked up some hay, spread it, asked Ye Wen to wait for a while, and then went back to get a straw mat and a thin quilt to spread on the hay.

Ye Wen thanked him again and sent the old man out of the door, and when he saw the old man enter the house, Ye Wen closed the door.

Looking at the situation in this house, I took off my raincoat, put down my backpack, bought some insect-proof powder and sprinkled it on the hay, and took out the blanket and spread it on the straw mat, sat on the straw mat, listened to the sound of rain outside, and looked at the ground soaked by rain leakage in front of me, the feeling in this house was still very uncomfortable, after all, it was the weather in August, it was already hot, and it was raining heavily, and the house was very stuffy, and this mountain village was located in the mountain forest area, which was quite humid, and there were more insects and ants.

In comparison, Ye Wen still misses the interior of the off-road vehicle, the seat is changed to a bed as long as it is folded, and the air conditioning in the car is very comfortable.

But the reason why Ye Wen didn't sleep in the off-road vehicle was because since he came to a populated place, it was best not to expose the off-road vehicle, so as not to be discovered and cause some unnecessary trouble.

And since Ye Wen bought a laptop, he is used to playing stand-alone games until late at night before going to bed, and he has formed a habit, even if he refrains from playing, he will fall asleep very late, even if he drives the off-road vehicle to a remote place, the ancients who got up early are very likely to find Ye Wen sleeping in the car.

Ye Wen lying on the straw mat had nothing to do, and he couldn't sleep when he went to bed so early, so Ye Wen took out his notebook and started playing the game again, because it was in someone else's house, Ye Wen did a good job of protection, at least others couldn't see the screen of the notebook at a glance when they came in, and at the same time Ye Wen put on headphones.

Ye Wen played until almost late at night before he put away his laptop, and lay on the straw mat and fell asleep in a daze.

Dawn, it rained all night, the air in the morning was particularly fresh, the people in the mountain village got up early and were busy, Ye Wen was also woken up by the movement outside, it just rained last night, the ground was still very muddy, Ye Wen put on a military uniform, and when he was wearing rubber shoes, the old man knocked on the door.

Ye Wen finished getting dressed and walked out, the old man had already seen Ye Wen's strange clothes last night, and when he saw that Ye Wen had changed again, he didn't say anything, just came over and called Ye Wen to have breakfast.

Out of the firewood room, Ye Wen stretched his waist, and at the same time smelled the smell of earth in the air, his sleepiness was reduced a lot, and he took the wooden basin handed over by the old man and thanked him.

Ye Wen washed his face, he was completely sleepy, turned his head and saw an old woman preparing food on the stove on the side, and a five or six-year-old girl standing at the door with a small mouth and looking at Ye Wen in the courtyard curiously and unfamiliarly, Ye Wen smiled at her.

The old man politely welcomed Ye Wen into the house, looking at the straw mat spread in the house, Ye Wen followed the old man to take off his muddy shoes, knelt down at the small table with breakfast, and politely talked to the old man.

There is nothing surprising about breakfast, just some wild vegetable leaves and some vegetable cakes and a bowl of vegetable soup made of unknown ingredients, this vegetable biscuit is astringent and unpalatable and pulls his throat, Ye Wen took a bite, frowned, hugged Qian, got up and came to the firewood room, and took out a bottle of old godmother from his backpack, in fact, there was no old godmother in Ye Wen's backpack, just to cover up, he couldn't directly conjure up a bottle of old godmother in front of others, and it was estimated that he was directly killed by others as a monster.

Ye Wen unscrewed the old godmother, because it was a full bottle and didn't need to use chopsticks, pour a little red juice on the vegetable cake, taste it, it tasted good, looking at the old man looking at Ye Wen strangely, Ye Wen smiled and explained that it was the family's consistent food, and handed the old godmother to the old man to let him taste it.

The old man repeatedly refused, and finally couldn't resist Ye Wen, took the old godmother handed over by Ye Wen, took the bottle and looked at the old man for a long time, and finally learned Ye Wen to pour a little red juice, tasted it, praised the taste, and continued to look at the bottle, which was very novel.

Ye Wen watched the old man holding the old godmother's bottle and looking around carefully, and looking at the old godmother's avatar as if he was watching a lover, Ye Wen's embarrassment was committed.

The old man saw that it was almost over, and returned the old godmother to Ye Wen in a daze, and said that it was a good thing, Ye Wen hurriedly excused himself, saying that he didn't need to, let him accept it, and he still had it.

But the old man said that it was too expensive to bear, and he couldn't afford to buy this bottle alone.

...

Ye Wen had no choice, so he had to say that he would pour the chili sauce inside to them, and when he saw the old man refusing to excuse himself, Ye Wen lied to him that he had a recipe, and with the raw materials, he wanted to make as much as he wanted, and it was not a valuable thing, so the old man took the pottery bowl and poured the chili sauce into the bowl, and left a large bottle for Ye Wen, Ye Wen saw the remaining chili sauce in the bottle, so he took the bowl and poured all the remaining chili sauce into the bowl.

Ye Wen wiped the sweat on his head and secretly said that this ancient man was really polite.

Maybe it was Ye Wen's chili sauce that played a role, and the old man also opened up the topic to Ye Wen and talked a lot, and Ye Wen also knew about the situation of the old man's family.

Although the old man's family lives in the mountainous area, there are fewer fields, and they mostly make a living by collecting medicines, and they don't earn much, but they are also a little better than the lives of those farmers who specialize in farming, and the old man's son also has a livelihood in the county, and the daughter-in-law follows to help in the county, leaving only a granddaughter for them to take care of, because the New Year's holidays are busier than usual, and they only have time to come back to see when they are free.

Ye Wen looked at the old man's face full of pride mixed with a hint of loneliness, Ye Wen could also understand his feelings, although in ancient times, the status of Shi Nong was business, but who doesn't want their children to take root in a good place and live a better life? What's more, it is a county town close to the imperial capital, but this old man has no children by his side because of his old age, and he feels empty, which is like an empty nester in later generations, that is, there is no phone in the future, and occasionally he can make a phone call and listen to the voice.

After eating breakfast, this is not the hard life of the old man's family, but because of the heavy rain this year, the only mountain road connecting to the outside has also been washed away, the grain production in the mountain village is small, only the medicinal materials here can be transported out for some food to maintain the usual needs, the mountain road is destroyed, the medicinal materials here can't get out, and the food outside can't come in, which causes a shortage of food in the mountainous area, and the washed out mountain road will take a few days to repair, it can only be said that Ye Wen came at the wrong time.

Ye Wen also knew that there were heavy rains this year, and he often encountered heavy rains when he was in a hurry, and according to Xiaokong, Zhenguan rained heavily in the first year, and the winter was much warmer than in previous years, and there was a big drought in the second year, and finally there was a locust plague.
