Chapter Fifty-Six: Into the Mountain Village
Bai Yi and Wang Dahai left the hotel in the morning, and drove directly to the courier company to deliver the medicinal herbs home, and let the two lonely old men in the house take care of them.
Then he went directly out of Qining City and went to Fujishan Village, which old man said this, let Baiyi and Wang Dahai go to which village to see if there is any harvest.
Thanks to advanced technology, Bai Yi and Wang Dahai have navigation and use, and even more thanks to passers-by who know how to get to Fujishan Village, I have to complain that sometimes technology is useless.
I don't know if the surveyors have not been here, and the road to the mountain village is only a short walk and you can't get in.
Looking up at the long mountain road disappearing in the forest, let's not talk about this, the key is that this chain bridge is serious? If it weren't for seeing someone walking on it, Bai Yi wouldn't have believed it.
Three iron chains are used as guardrails on each side of each side, okay, and there are relatively old planks under the feet, this is the way in front of which big brother is carrying one or two hundred catties of food to go back.
I heard that this is the only way to go to Fujishan Village, Bai Yi and Wang Dahai did not squint the whole time, and walked forward tremblingly, just listening to the raging river under our feet, we felt sweating all the time.
The two had to admit that crossing this bridge has nothing to do with guts, this is a special fight, two people sit on the bridge and dare not move, there is no way for the mountain wind to blow, this chain bridge will shake, how do you feel that the thief is cold at this time.
The two people who have only walked half of the bridge are really sweating profusely, and their whole bodies are soaked, and they don't hurry to cross the bridge when the mountain breeze blows, and clean it up, I'm afraid that they will have a fever and cold on the bridge.
I had to lift my spirits, trembling and bending forward, two people encouraged each other to chat along the way, and finally crossed the "bridge", yes, Bai Yi felt for the first time that this one-meter-wide bridge was a bridge, which was too long, two people crossed the bridge and sat directly on the ground, and one person drank a few sips of water to suppress the shock.
I took out a towel from my backpack and dried my body, rested for a while, and when I looked up at the eldest brother in front of me, I found that I could only see the back on the far curved mountain road.
The two in white had to fight their spirits, because they didn't know how far it was, and the two of them didn't even have a guide, so they asked the eldest brother if they could lead the way? The eldest brother said that half of the village's daily necessities were in his bamboo basket, and he couldn't delay.
Bai Yi and Wang Dahai in front of them were still thinking about why they were delayed when they led the way, but now they have to know.
Fortunately, after crossing the chain bridge, the two in white walked on the rugged mountain road all the way, and finally rushed behind the eldest brother.
"Big brother, do you all have to cross this bridge when you go out of the mountain?" Seeing that the eldest brother seemed to be resting, Bai Yi fanned himself with a straw hat made of cattails. I couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, we have to cross this bridge when we go out of the mountain and into the mountain, even the little doll has to cross from here, now it's much better, there were only two iron cables before, and there was no guardrail." The eldest brother seemed to be accustomed to it, and said in a calm tone.
"Big brother, how many people are still on the mountain?" Wang Dahai asked what he was thinking.
"There are nearly 1,000 people in the whole cottage, and I know you will ask why you don't move out. There are old and young here, where to go out, just ask the children to read more, and move outside when they are out. The eldest brother knew what he meant when he heard Wang Dahai's question.
"It used to be difficult, at that time, the children had to get up at three o'clock, and they had to go out of the cottage to go to school on the mountain road to eat something, but now there is a national policy that the children can board, even if it costs a little more." The eldest brother said, and the children smiled sincerely.
"Big brother, isn't it convenient for people in the village to travel, why do you want to go out alone to buy daily necessities?" Bai Yi asked the question he had thought all the way to.
"What are so many people doing when they come out, they are all busy now, the autumn harvest has begun, every family has to harvest crops, and it costs money to come out. I go out to buy things alone, and others see that I can buy more and cheaper. "Big brother is not surprised by such a question.
"Let's go, let's talk while walking, it's also that you two outsiders are not familiar with the road, otherwise I can't wait for you for so long." It turned out that the eldest brother was sitting and resting to wait for Bai Yi and Wang Dahai.
"Come on, big brother, you go ahead, and the two of us follow you." The three of them walked very quietly all the way, the mountain road is far away, and it is too wasteful to talk, it is better to leave some energy to hurry up if you have time to talk, after all, it is not very safe to be a mountain road.
Listening to the sounds of various animals on the road, Wang Dahai, a person in half of the city, felt novel, looked left and right from time to time, and took pictures of some beautiful trees.
Silent all the way, the three of them finally walked to the village halfway up the hill before sunset, this is Fujiyama Village, the two followed the eldest brother to the village chief's house, explained the intention, and asked to stay overnight.
The old village chief in his 70s, surnamed Nong, Nongsi Min, this is the name of the village chief, and the entire cottage male is a farmer's surname.
Wearing the unique costumes of ethnic minorities, except for the gray temples, the hair is actually only a little gray, and from a distance, I only think it should be black hair, an uncle in his 50s. The years don't seem to have stayed with the village chief for long.
While the village chief welcomed him, he signaled that the two in white could sleep in the eldest brother's house, and the two in white and Wang Dahai expressed their gratitude and were willing to pay a certain fee. The eldest brother waved his hand again and again to indicate that he didn't need it.
Seeing that the eldest brother put the daily necessities he picked up at the village chief, he began to guide the two in white to his house.
"Big brother, do you want the village chief to send everything?" Wherever it will, the mountain people themselves go to the village chief to get it.
With the guidance of the eldest brother, I only saw a bamboo building in the distance, and the closer I got to the appetizer, I found that the bamboo building was quite big, and a woman at the door greeted me from afar.
"Brother, it's hard work." "Sister, you don't have to worry about leaving from time to time." This woman is the wife of the eldest brother, and they don't like the husband and wife here.
The sister-in-law didn't ask too much when she saw that there were still outsiders, and she heard that she was staying overnight, but she was more kind to Bai Yi and Wang Dahai. hurriedly guided Bai Yi and Wang Dahai into the bamboo building.
The two in white entered the bamboo building, only to find that the ground was not the imaginary bamboo floor, but also a solid wood floor, and it was very flat.
"The eldest brother and sister-in-law haven't asked your surname yet, so I'm bothered a lot today. Please bear with me," Bai Yi sat down and took the water handed over by his sister-in-law, and said with a little embarrassment.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Nongwu, your sister-in-law is called Duowa." Hearing the introduction of the eldest brother, the sister-in-law nodded and then got up to make food, watching the sun set, the whole village looked pitch black, and the eldest brother hurriedly turned on the light.
"Thanks to the country, we can also use electricity in such a remote mountainous area, and it is much more convenient to have electricity." The eldest brother said sincerely.
"Big brother, have the children gone to school?" Bai Yi saw the child who hadn't seen his eldest brother and sister-in-law for so long.
Seeing that the smile of the eldest brother who had always been happy disappeared in an instant. "The child died at a very young age, and then we always wanted to have a child and couldn't have it."
"I'm sorry, big brother, I don't know." Bai Yi heard Brother Nong's answer, and hurriedly said with a panicked face.
"It doesn't matter, it's been many years, it's inconvenient for us here, the child had a high fever when he was young, and the village didn't get cured, and the child was gone when he rushed out of the mountain." The big brother's low tone made Bai Yi realize that the reality was cruel to me.
