The three of them had a hearty meal and drank some wine, Rui Xiaodan and Ouyang Xue were in charge of talking,

Lu Renbing was in charge of pouring tea and wine, he barely spoke, and the scene was very harmonious for a while. After eating, Lu Renbing went upstairs to continue to tinker with his great cause of brushing literature. Two women go to the basement, watch movies, listen to music, and sing K.

In the end, Ouyang Xue also slept in the guest room.

However, Lu Renbing didn't do anything, he wasn't that kind of person.

The next day, after breakfast, Rui Xiaodan drove a car to land Renbing and Ouyang Xue and went to the mountains to play.

In this era, the tourism resources in various places have not been overdeveloped, and many green mountains and rivers still maintain the original ecological style. Daqing Mountain outside the ancient city, about 30 kilometers away from the city, this is an endless mountain, the average pull of the mountain is five or six hundred meters, not very high, but still very imposing.

In the middle of summer, the trees on the mountain are lush and green, and the stream in the mountain stream is crystal clear. The three of them parked their car in the compound of the village committee in a small mountain village at the bottom of the mountain, greeted the villagers and went up the mountain.

Along the path up the mountain, I climbed for a long time to the top of the mountain. Rui Xiaodan often exercises well, but Ouyang Xue is already out of breath. There are no tall trees on the top of the mountain, but low shrubs that do not cover the exposed rocks. The three of them each picked up a stone, sat down, and began to look around. The rolling green hills are refreshing.

Rui Xiaodan, who was in a good mood, stood on the stone, opened his arms, and made a gesture of embracing heaven and earth. The sky is clear, the sun is blazing, and the mountain breeze is warm.

"Poet Ding, such a beautiful scenery, are you in the mood to compose a poem!"

Lu Renbing has climbed more majestic peaks and seen more magnificent scenery, but at this moment, there is a warm feeling in his heart. Forget about composing poetry, we don't have that talent. The previous song is also the original copy of Ding Yuanying.

So he loudly declared, "Not at all!" ”

In an instant, the atmosphere was gone, Rui Xiaodan was so angry that he jumped down from the stone and kicked Lu Renbing a few times! "Spoiled!"

Ouyang Xue laughed breathlessly on the side. Just this sentence completely broke Ding Yuanying's image in her heart. Because she has always felt that people like Ding Yuanying are the kind of people who pretend to be forced criminals and pretend to be masters to deceive little girls.

But judging from the contact in the past two days, what kind of master is this, he is completely a layman, who can joke, has no temper, and does not pretend to be forced. Maybe Rui Xiaodan is not a bad thing to be with him.

From the city here, everyone was a little hungry, Lu Renbing took out the ham, bread, and drinks from the bag, everyone ate a few bites, rested for a while, blew the mountain wind, and went down the mountain to prepare to go home.

At the bottom of the mountain, several village children were giggling around their car. Seeing Lu Renbing and them coming, these children hurriedly got out of the way.

These children were dirty all over their bodies, and their clothes were crooked and didn't fit well. But there are no patches stacked on top of each other, as is the case with all the country children of this era.

This kind of onlooker situation is all too common in rural areas. So the three of them didn't care, opened the car door, got in the car and prepared to go back to the city.

"At this time, a small hand covered with mud grabbed the glass of the car window.

"Uncle, do you want grasshoppers, I have a lot of grasshoppers, and they are delicious." Lu Renbing lowered the window and saw that it was a little girl, six or seven years old, with a very clean face and a neat body, but her hair was a little yellow and messy.

Grasshoppers are known larvae, and it is said that they have to live in the ground for six or seven years before they can crawl out and become cicadas. This stuff is delicious and nutritious when fried.

"Uh, do you have any grasshoppers? Is there no one to collect here? ”

"I have, I have a lot, I caught grasshoppers last night, I caught them too late, and when I got up today, the person who collected the grasshoppers had already left, and I didn't catch up." The little girl spoke, as if she were about to cry. The children watching next to him laughed grinning.

"Clown Nier, no one wants your grasshoppers, you can eat them yourself, you are told to touch so much, haha!!"

It seems that this little girl is not very popular in the village.

Rui Xiaodan and Ouyang Xue sympathized with the little girl, "Master Ding, poet, great writer, you just bought the little girl's grasshopper, we just happened to have dinner in the evening." ”

Well, Lu Renbing is actually a little greedy. "Little girl, where are your grasshoppers, you can bring them, we want them all."

"Really? But there are a lot of them, I can't get them, can you follow me and get them? ”

"Well, okay then." In fact, Lu Renbing doesn't think that a little girl can talk too much, how much can she have. Probably because the little girl couldn't get it by herself.

So the three of them got out of the car and followed Xiao Gua Niang to her house to get grasshoppers.

The onlookers didn't seem to want to play with the little girl, so they grimaced at Lu Renbing and the others, and went to play somewhere else.

Most of the houses in the small mountain village are made of mountain stone, and the road surface is also paved with stones. These stones have been smoothed out by years of wind and rain, and they are smooth and hard.

Now there is a lot of work in the fields, so there are not many idlers in the village. Except for a few elderly people with limited mobility, Lu Renbing and the three of them did not see a few people.

After turning a few alleys, Lu Renbing and the three came to a slightly dilapidated house. The low walls of the stone ramparts are uneven, and in some places the stones are obviously rolling off. The gate of the yard is a simple fence gate.

The little girl struggled to move the fence gate, and Lu Renbing and the three followed. The yard is about half the size of a lot, and in the southwest corner is a toilet and a pigsty with two black pigs in the pigsty. There was also a she-goat tied to a tree next to the pigsty, and two baby lambs at the goat's feet. There are two pomegranate trees and three jujube trees planted in the yard, and next to the trees, there is also a small vegetable field, which grows a lot of vegetables. The vegetable shelves are set up, blocking people's vision.

After passing through the messy vegetable shelves, I came to the house where the little girl lived. The three stone rooms were dilapidated, and the doors of the halls in the middle were broken with a large hole, and the thresholds were all covered with mud. The roof of the east house seemed to have collapsed, and the mud from the roof stuck to the rainwater and covered one wall.

The main house is fine, it has not collapsed, but looking at the plastic paper spread on the roof, it is estimated that the situation is not very good, at least the rain leakage is certain.

The only thing that seems to be intact is Westinghouse. The three of them followed the little girl into the door of the room, looked up, and the sunlight could indeed shine into the room through the plastic paper on the roof, speckled with spots.

There is a table of eight immortals facing the door in the main room, and there are two dark Taishi chairs on both sides, and on the wall behind the table of eight immortals, there is a smoky and blackened paper painting of a mountain tiger. It looks like it's printed and not worth much. The Taishi chair is also imitated by the villagers themselves, and it is not a cultural relic.

On the side near the West House there was a teacher's three-plywood cabinet, green lacquered, and a glass mirror that was half broken. The cabinet was a mess of clothes and a blackened quilt.

In front of the cabinet were three plastic basins, filled with water, and the water was full of grasshoppers that the little girl said. Grasshoppers, after they are caught, must be soaked in salt water, otherwise, they will shed their shells and feather.

This kind of thing can't be left for a long time, and if it is left for a long time, it will be black and smelly, and it will not taste good. Looking at the grasshoppers in the basin, I knew that these must have been made last night.

"Little girl, how many have you caught?" Lu Renbing was a little shocked. This grasshopper isn't just waiting there for you to catch. This thing broke through the ground and began to climb out after dark, and with good luck, it could climb to a person's height in a few minutes, and the little girl couldn't reach it at all. It's nice to be able to catch one of five trees.

"Two hundred and forty-two, I've counted it several times."

"Can you count to a hundred?"

"I'm eleven years old, and I'm in the fourth grade this year!" The little girl was a little angry, and she was very funny.

"Swallow, who is it?" An old man's voice came from the Westroom.

"Grandpa, I called the grasshopper to collect it."

"Oh," there was no sound in the Westroom.
