The mountain village deep in the mountains is not as quiet as imagined.

In addition to the sound of children frolicking from time to time, you can often hear the sound of adults arguing.

The mountain village is surrounded by mountains, and the surrounding mountains are like cages, covering the village and preventing the villagers from leaving.

However, Zuo Si believes that geographical factors are secondary, mainly because the villagers here have adapted to life in the mountains, and if they suddenly go out, they are afraid that they will not be able to accept the outside environment.

It's like people on the outside, who can't accept life here.

The road in the mountain village is quite gentle, the ground is paved with sand and gravel, although there are some resting feet, but it is quite comfortable to walk for a long time.

"Hey! I haven't been here for 10 years. Lu Tao looked at the surrounding environment and sighed: "It still hasn't changed at all." ”

"You used to live here when you were a kid?"

"No, only during the summer vacation, I came here to play for a month or two, and at that time, I often followed my uncle and my cousin to go up the mountains to hunt and pick wild fruits, and the things in the mountains, whether it was meat or other things, were very delicious."

Lu Tao hasn't been back here for ten years, and his feelings for this place are already very weak, and the reason why he helps Yin Sanshi's family so much is entirely because of his mother.

At this time, a village woman came from the opposite side, she looked at Lu Tao and Zuo Si curiously, and asked after a while, "From outside?" ”

Lu Tao said: "It's me, Aunt Mei." ”

"You are?"

"I, Lu Tao."

Lu Tao ...... Lu Tao ......" Zhang Mei muttered for a while, but she didn't remember who Lu Tao was.

"Yin Sanshi, his nephew, hasn't been here for ten years! I stole your corn when I was a kid. ”

"Ahh I remember! Zhang Mei immediately suddenly said, "It turned out to be you!" It's all grown so big! ”

She patted Lu Tao's chest, and then said, "Heh! ~ It's long enough to be strong! How's it going, did you find a partner? ”

Lu Tao scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I didn't look for it." ”

"Tsk! Why are you still looking for a daughter-in-law when you are so old, haven't you met a suitable one? Zhang Mei grabbed Lu Tao's hand: "Let's go, go to Aunt Mei's house to sit down, I haven't seen you for so many years, let's chat." ”

The woman in this mountain has a lot of strength, and Lu Tao is embarrassed to refuse, so after a helpless glance at Zuo Si, he followed.

"It seems that this Aunt Mei is going to introduce her daughter-in-law to Lu Tao."

Such an interesting thing, Zuo Si naturally wouldn't miss it, so he followed.

When she came to a compound, as soon as she entered the gate, Zhang Mei shouted at the top of her voice: "Dani, Erni, Mi Ni, there are guests at home, quickly boil some hot water and prepare to eat." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, three girls ran out of a wooden house, all of whom did not look big.

"I'll introduce you to you, these are my three daughters."

Zhang Mei began to introduce her three daughters.

The eldest is sixteen years old, the oldest is twenty-three, and the youngest is only eight years old.

The clothes worn by the three girls were all tattered, but their eyes were very bright, and after looking at Lu Tao and Zuo Si curiously for a while, they ran to their side and stretched out their dirty hands.

Lu Tao and Zuo Si looked at each other in surprise, and they didn't understand what it meant.

"These three little brutes!" Zhang Mei kicked Dani on the buttocks: "What did you want to eat with others when you first met?" Get out of here and get cooked! ”

The three girls were very afraid of Zhang Mei, and they didn't dare to talk much, so they all went into the kitchen.

Zhang Mei looked at Lu Tao apologetically: "I'm sorry, there are more people from outside recently, and I always bring some food to the children in the village, and my babies are used to it." ”

Lu Tao rubbed his hands awkwardly and dug out his pockets, but there was nothing, it was all in his bag.

He said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Aunt Mei, I came in a hurry this time, I didn't bring anything, or I'll go back and get some now." ”

After saying that, I wanted to leave.

was grabbed by Zhang Mei's arm: "Come to Aunt Mei, take something, take a walk, go into the house!" Get inside! ”

Zhang Mei dragged Lu Tao into the north room and poured a glass of water for Lu Tao and Zuo Si, with a very enthusiastic attitude.

"You sit down first, and I'll cook two dishes for you to eat."

"Aunt Mei, don't be busy, we've all eaten."

"Aunt Laimei, can I still make you hungry? The meal will be ready in a while, so let's wait here. ”

Watching Zhang Mei leave with a smile, Zuo Si couldn't help but sigh: "The people in this village are really enthusiastic. ”

Then he looked at Lu Tao with a wicked smile: "You said Aunt Mei, which girl will tell you to be your daughter-in-law?" ”

"Get out!" Lu Tao scolded with a cold face and a serious face.

"It can't be Aunt Mei's own daughter, right?" Zuo Si said: "Don't say it, it's really possible, Aunt Mei is so enthusiastic about you, she must treat you as her future uncle." ”

"Her eldest daughter is only sixteen, big brother!" Lu Tao glanced at Zuo Si speechlessly.

"What's this, don't all the people in the mountains get married early? You wouldn't be unaware, would you? Sixteen is married, and it is normal. ”

Hearing this, Lu Tao immediately became excited, how could he not know that he got married early in this mountain village?

It's just that I haven't been back here for a long time, and I didn't expect it for a while.

Now that he was mentioned by Zuo Si, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart: "? Aunt May wouldn't be so mad as to introduce her sixteen-year-old daughter to me, would she? ”

Lu Tao hurriedly got up and said to Zuo Si: "It's not good to stay here for a long time, the wind is tight!" ”

But as soon as he got up and opened the door, he bumped into Zhang Mei.

"Mei, Aunt Mei?"

"Where are you going? The meal is almost ready. ”

"Uh...... It's a bit stuffy in the house, and I want to go out and get some air. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhang Mei looked at Zuo Si and said enthusiastically: "This little brother, are you bored too?" ”

Zuo Simuna nodded and smiled awkwardly: "It's a little boring." ”

"It's okay, it's easy to do!" Zhang Mei directly carried the big table in the house, and didn't let others help, and carried it to the yard by herself.

Zuo Si couldn't help but be secretly shocked, this table is solid wood, big and heavy, this girl's strength is really great.

The meals were served one by one, and they were sumptuous.

In addition to the three vegetarian dishes, there is also braised pork and stir-fried pheasant.

Zuo Si smelled the fragrant food, and while his index finger moved, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, is the life of the people in the mountains so good?

Lu Tao's face became more and more ugly, he looked at the food on the table, his eyebrows jumped, his eyes widened, and he looked frightened.

At this time, Zhang Mei's three daughters also sat around.

But the strange thing is that Dani did not face Lu Tao, but sat next to Zuo Si.

Zuo Si looked at this girl in the mountains, except for being a little dirty, she was still quite delicate, if she washed it and dressed up, she might be quite beautiful.

Dani was very shy, and after feeling Zuo Si's gaze, her cheeks flushed, her head was lowered, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

Seeing this scene, Lu Tao smiled, obviously relieved, his spirit immediately sank, and after gloatingly glancing at Zuo Si, he asked Zhang Mei:

"Aunt Mei, uncle, why didn't you see him come back?"

Zhang Mei's face immediately sank, and she said with a crying voice: "Your uncle went to ...... a few years ago Leave us orphans and widows ......"

As he spoke, he burst into tears, and even the three children began to cry.
