In the early morning, the sun has not yet stretched its waist. The eastern sky revealed a white light like a fish's belly, and the white light printed the mountains like a layer of white veil.

The spring breeze moves slightly.

The fragrance of green leaves and the oxygen of the trees surround Li Xin. Li Xin stood in the courtyard, holding a bowl full of porridge, took a long breath, and praised: "The spring breeze in March is scissors, the air is fresh and the rice is full." Mixed body strength and good spirit, leading the scalper to run all over the mountain. ”

Li Xin casually made a limerick poem, and couldn't help but be secretly proud, my brother's culture is not bad, haha.

"Xin'er, what are you talking about?" Su Qi stood in the kitchen and asked.

"Mother, it's nothing, I just think the air is good. sighed a few words. ”

"Hehe, when is the air in the mountains bad?" Su Qi said with a smile.

"Good air, good spirits!" Li Xin said with an adult look.

"People are small and big, you are young, how can your spirit be bad." Su Qi scolded with a smile.

……

Li Xin drank the porridge in the bowl in a few gulps, put the bowl on the table, and said to Su Qi: "Mother, I'm going to herd the cow." ”

"Well, be careful, come back early in the afternoon, and my mother will make wild boar for you." Su Qi waved his hand.

"Okay." It seems that there is meat to eat again in the evening, after all, being able to eat meat in the mountains is like eating a big meal in the city, which is not a common thing. Speaking of eating meat, Li Xin couldn't help but drool again. Secretly despised himself again, there was no meat before the crossing, at that time, the emphasis was on eating green and ecological vegetables, and vegetarian banquets were more expensive than eating meat. Thinking of a trip with his girlfriend, he had a vegetarian banquet on the side of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, which cost him more than 700 yuan, which made him suffer for a long time. Now I can eat such a vegetarian dish every day, and I still want to eat meat.

Li Xin led the old ox to walk on the uneven path, the sheep intestine path was potholed, not easy to walk at all, Li Xin said: "The air is good, but the road is too bad." He turned his head and thought: "Many people here have never left the mountains in their lives, and they have walked on such a road all their lives, raising their families, and living for a lifetime, which is really not easy." Maybe there is no harm if there is no comparison, and they have not seen the outside world, they will only think that everyone in the world is like this, as long as they are full, they will be satisfied. Like later generations, many people in rural areas who go out to work and then return to the countryside will not be able to stay any longer, and the money earned by farming for a year is not as much as the money earned by working for a month. Farming gets up early every day, faces the loess with its back to the sky, and the harvest has to rely on the sky to eat. There are fixed working hours for part-time jobs, and you can get paid at the end of the month, and you also have a fixed rest time every month. With the contrast, when I look back, my mentality and thoughts are very different from before. ”

Li Xin led the old ox and walked aimlessly towards the mountain with a stick of incense, and came to a green grassland. After looking at the surrounding terrain, I felt that this place stood high and could see far away, and this grass was enough for old cattle to eat for several days. Tie the old ox to a small tree on the edge of the meadow. So he found a clean stone and sat down. The back is slightly against the raised stone face. With Erlang's legs crossed, he looked up at the distant mountains at 45 degrees.

The rolling hills, one after the other, are far away from the hustle and bustle.

The crooked roads, one after the other, leave peace and ease.

Li Xinxin said: "Others are all wealthy mansions, scholarly families, and royal backyards. I actually came to herd the cattle, and I don't know when to put it, is it my destiny to be with the old scalper? Nest in the upper part of the life, so what's the point of crossing? Li Xin was half distracted. Then I thought again: "This can't work, why do you have to walk the rivers and lakes." Jin Yong's rivers and lakes are full of chivalry, and Gu Long's rivers and lakes are surging. I don't know what the current situation is in the rivers and lakes? Mix the rivers and lakes, you have to learn martial arts, well, go find Uncle Nine. Well, I still have to learn to learn culture, find Su Qi, Su Qi is a mother, who else can I teach if I don't teach, wahahaha......"

"Learn martial arts, Uncle Nine should be able to teach. Culture, the conditions are not available, first know the words and then talk. Now it is traditional Chinese characters, although there is a foundation of simplified Chinese characters, traditional Chinese characters have to be learned from scratch. ”

"By the way, my specialty is nunchucks, which Bruce Lee created. Not in this day and age, haha, I have to practice. Li Xin became excited: "There have always been only eighteen kinds of weapons? Nunchucks are nineteen weapons, haha......" Li Xin thought about this, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the laughter kept echoing in the empty valley with the wind.

"Brother Xin, Brother Xin, what are you laughing at?" A childish child's voice came.

"Ha, Xiaoli, why did you come here? Be careful, the road is slippery" Li Xinleng was stunned, why did this girl run here.

The person who came was Xiaoli, a yellow-haired girl who often came to play with him.

Xiaoli's home is not far from Li Xin's house, and there are several children around, but she likes to play with Li Xin, who is three years older than her and likes this little sister more

Xiaoli's figure appeared in Li Xin's sight, about 5 years old, with a round face, childish, and her yellow hair was divided into 2 braids left and right, each with a strip of cloth. When I run, my hair jumps up and down, and the strips of cloth fly in the wind, which adds a bit of cuteness. Li Xin saw Xiaoli's withered yellow hair and said secretly: "No wonder it makes sense to call the little girl a yellow-haired girl in ancient times." ”

This is the first time Li Xin has seen Xiaoli since he was reborn. There may still be residual memories, Li Xin is no stranger to Xiaoli, but kind.

"Brother Xin, Brother Xin, Xiaoli misses you so much." Xiaoli smiled, opened her mouth with two front teeth, and ran towards Li Xin as she spoke.

"Be careful, don't fall."

"Hee-hee, no, Xiaoli hasn't fallen for a long time."

"Hehe, Xiaoli hasn't seen her for a few days, where did she go?"

"Haha, I'm going to town, Brother Xin, I only came back yesterday. I went to your house today, and Qi Niang said that you came out to herd cattle. I'll sneak up on you. Xiaoli smiled: "Brother Xin, do you know? It's a lot of fun in the town, there are so many people, there are people everywhere, and their clothes are also beautiful, and there are flower clothes, just like flowers. Also, there is so much food that I can't even name it. I also ate a fish the day before yesterday, it is so long, I think it is at least as long as my arm, and it is still sweet. They say what kind of candy and what kind of fish is called, it's really delicious. The night before yesterday, I ate beef, it was really beef, my uncle said it was beef, and you said that the cattle had to be cultivated, so how could they be killed and eaten? Later, I heard that the cow was old, and it couldn't plough the land, so I sold it to them to kill and eat, and the cow couldn't plow the land and was going to be killed and eaten, which was terrible, but the beef was really delicious, and it was very strong to chew, and there was a lot ......of oil," Xiaoli began to chatter about what she had seen in the town. When I talk about eating beef, I pat my chest with my little hand, and I feel afraid, and when I talk about it, I foam at the mouth and have an endless aftertaste.

"Oh, who are you going with?" It seems that Xiaoli can't finish talking about eating for three days, so she can only change the topic

"There's me, there's my aunt, and there's my uncle. Xiaopeng didn't go. He's too small. Hee-hee......"

Xiaopeng is the son of Aunt Xiaoli, who is only 2 and a half years old.

"It's so far from town, so how can it take you?"

"Hey, I miss my father and mother, and my aunt said to take me to the town to play in order to make me happy. It just so happened that my uncle-in-law dug up some medicinal herbs in the mountains and sold them in the town, so we went. ”

Xiaopeng's mother and Xiaoli's mother are sisters, Xiaoli's family is in Kaizhou, I don't know why Xiaoli was sent to Xiaopeng's house to be raised. Xiaoli was sent when she was three years old, and she has been here for 2 years.

"You are so young, it is dangerous to come to the mountains, I will send you back, so as not to worry your aunts." Li Xin worried. What if you fall and encounter a wild thing?

"Hee-hee, it's okay. I'm older now, my uncle has gone up the mountain, and my aunt is not free. Besides, they won't worry about me, and if I come to you, they won't worry about it. ”

Xiaoli's husband and aunt are very busy, there are 2 children below, and 2 old people are raised above, although the old people can eat and move, but they are old and can't help in farm work, so they can take care of 2 children at most. Xiaoli is so active that she can't stay at home. often went to Li Xin's house to play, and then they got used to it, so they didn't care, Li Xin was good to Xiaoli, and they could still see it.

Although Xiaoli is not the biological child of her aunt and uncle, her aunt and uncle-in-law still love her very much. Besides, although her parents have not visited her for two years, there has never been a shortage of materials. Every year, Xiaoli's father would send people to send money, food and a lot of daily necessities.

"I'd better send you back, there are wild beasts in the mountains, it's not safe." In the past, every time Xiaoli played at Li Xin's house, if Li Xin was not at home, she would not go up the mountain to find him.

"It's okay, Brother Xin, you'll protect me, won't you?" Xiaoli looked at Li Xin with a pair of innocent eyes.

"I'm too young. Well, I'll protect you. Li Xin said helplessly, after all, as a man, protecting weak girls is what should be done: "Forget it, then you play here, don't run around." I have to listen to my brother. ”

"Okay, I've always listened to my brother!" Xiaoli saw that Li Xin didn't drive her away, and said happily.

Xiaoli also sat next to Li Xin and looked around. After half the salary, she suddenly slapped her forehead: "Oh, I almost forgot, Brother Xin, I went to town and came back to bring you something delicious." After speaking, he took out a baked cake from his coat pocket. Like Xianbao, he put it in Li Xin's hand: "Let me tell you, when we were about to come back yesterday, I took my aunt's hand and said that I still want to eat baked cakes." Auntie said, you only ate a few yesterday, and you want to eat it again today? I said, yes, it's delicious, I won't be able to eat it when I go back. My uncle-in-law went and bought me 2, I finished eating 1, and secretly kept one for you. My uncle and aunt didn't see it. I don't think you've been to town, you must have eaten. Brother Xin, do you think I'm good? Xiaoli looked at Li Xin expectantly, waiting for Li Xin to praise her.

Baked cakes are rare in this era, the materials are very simple, mainly the bucket for making baked cakes, which is not affordable for ordinary people. Therefore, when Xiaoli saw the baked cakes in the town, she thought of bringing one back to Brother Xin and eating something fresh.
