The boat was in a harmonious mood, Chang Yue kneaded it a few times, Gu Chao tried rowing again, and found that it was really difficult to row, so he simply sat on the bow of the boat and watched the old uncle row.

And after starting again, not rowing for a while, you can see the intersection of the village in the distance, although it is now evening, but from a distance, the village seems to be surrounded by a thin mist, a leafy, thick trunk of the big tree, just standing at the village entrance ferry, it is simply for the ferry to set up a living signboard.

"Uncle and uncle, that's the head of your village, right?"

Gu Chao stood up excitedly, and the hull of the boat shook violently a few times, so frightened that Gu Chao hurriedly sat back again.

"Girl, don't move anymore, you don't know the tricks of this water, if you suddenly get up in a boat like this, if you are not careful, you will fall into the river, and the boat will turn on its side."

Gu Chao sat lightly on the side of the boat and patted his chest in shock.

"It scared the hell out of me, I almost fell into the water, it's all about to come, it's not worth falling into the water again."

"If it's not hard to salvage, it's nothing, go home and let my wife change your clothes."

"Grandma is also at home! The last time I went, my grandmother made me air-dried beef, and I drooled every time I thought about it, and I wanted to take it back to my dad and brother to try it. ”

Leap Moon said excitedly.

Gu Chao looked forward from a distance, and saw that there seemed to be a rickety figure standing under the tree.

"Uncle, do you see a scarecrow standing under the tree or is it?"

When the old uncle heard this, he looked forward, and his face, which was still dark, seemed to suddenly glow, and his stunned eyes suddenly widened.

"Oh, that's my old wife, who said that it was cold by the river, so she waited at home, why did she come to the ferry again?"

Although the old uncle complained, the happiness between the words could not be concealed.

"It's grandma, you're really energetic!"

Chang Yu said.

"Yes, I live in the country, I don't have any distractions, I play with the things in the field every day, plant and grow fruits, and my health is much better."

"Does Grandma wait for you at the ferry like this every time?"

Gu Chao asked.

"Sometimes when I cook at home, she will wait for me at home, it seems that the meal has been prepared today, but she may not know, there are guests coming today, it seems that I have to show you a hand today."

"Wow, uncle, do you know how to cook?"

Leap Moon asked curiously.

"Although I work hard, my cooking skills are not bad, otherwise why would your grandmother marry me in the first place?"

"Uncle is a kind-hearted person, of course he is willing to marry you, and marrying you is a blessed life."

Leap Moon said sweetly.

As the boat slowly approached, Gu Chao and Chang Heal slowly saw the grandmother waiting on the shore.

Although judging from the skin condition on her face, she does look like an old man, but from the size and hair color, it is impossible to tell how old she is.

Because when she looked up, there was not a single white hair on her head, and all the hair was pulled into a bun at the back of her head, and the comb was shiny and neat, without a trace of messy hair.

And although her figure is slightly rickety, she is not much shorter than usual.

"You're back? I knew you must have brought back a guest, and all the meals were ready at home. ”

The old uncle asked in surprise as he tied the rope.

"How do you know that a guest is coming today? In the past, I wanted to bring the leap month to play, and I told you before I set off early. ”

"The draught of the boat with people is deep, the speed is slow, and today is slower than usual, I know that I am afraid that there is more than one leap month."

"Grandma knows the subtleties, but it's really lively!"

Runyue laughed, and jumped off the boat to hold her grandmother as she spoke.

"I ate your air-dried beef last time, and when I went back, I thought to myself, let me bring some back tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, you little gluttonous cat, last time I saw that you ate the bowl empty, I knew that you liked it, and I specially prepared it for you early, this time, let your friends taste it too."

The old lady smiled and stroked Runyue's face, then turned around and said to the old uncle.

"You brought them here for tonight's bonfire, right?"

"Yes, a few years ago, you said it was too noisy, we all lived at home, and since there are guests this year, let's go once."

"Good! So let's have dinner before the event begins! ”

"Uncle, what's the bonfire?"

Leap month asked.

"Is it a celebration where the whole village comes together?"

Gu Chao reasoned.

"Yes, it's the same as the celebration of spring in the city, except that we have simple ceremonies here, and it's simple, and it's not as lively as the market in the city."

"It's all the same, what's the point? It's just different. ”

Gu Chao said.

"Today I have the blessing of catching up with your special event, it seems that this time it will be an eye-opener."

Chang Yu also smiled and said that his current mood has changed from the beginning of reluctance, to the yearning for the bonfire festival at night, he originally thought that this was a wild and desolate place, but he did not expect that the villagers here are warm, the scenery is very beautiful, quiet and cool.

Just looking at the ferry at the entrance of the village, this big tree, let the five of them stretch out their hands, so that they can barely hug it, the branches on the tree are dense, and some of them almost have to go deep into the water.

And there are many birds chirping in the trees, which makes people deaf and clear, not only do they not feel noisy, but they think it is a beautiful music.

"This old tree, I'm afraid it's a thousand years old, right?"

Chang Yu said.

"I'm afraid it's not enough!"

Gu Chao sighed as he went over and gently stroked its uneven old bark with his hand.

"Legend has it that this tree was planted by the first person we live in Qingxi, although its variety is not rare and precious, just an ordinary tree, but for thousands of years it has gathered aura, all the birds in Qingxi, and wild small animals, all like to run up, its seeds are planted, it can also quickly sprout, grow small saplings."

The old lady said as she looked at the tree lovingly, as if she were looking at a child.

"Then it's a spiritual thing! Can I pick a leaf from it? I want to go back to dry it and put it away as a souvenir. ”

Gu Chao requested.

"Of course you can, silly boy, if we don't pick it, we will fall it ourselves, although it is a spiritual thing, it can't be so expensive, where can we not pick a leaf?"

The old uncle said with a smile.

"Then when I leave tomorrow, I'll pick another fresh slice!"

After greeting each other at the ferry, the old woman welcomed everyone into the wooden house she had built halfway up the mountain.

This wooden house is not big in the distance, but in front of you, it is not a small one, the house is surrounded by mud, surrounded by a small courtyard, the fence is crawling with ivy everywhere, and you can even see a few flowers blooming, and the chickens and ducks in the yard are all chirping.

A big goose, as if he had never seen so many people, chased people and bit them as soon as they came up.

Runyue was bitten by a goose when he was a child, and now that he saw the goose, he was a little scared, so he hid behind Gu Chao.

But the goose seemed to bully people, and the longer there were more people, the more it pounced on the person and bit it, and the leap moon hid left and right behind several people, and they were almost stupid.

"Grandma, uncle! Why was this little goose still a little one when I came last time, and it was very obedient, so why did it chase me and bite me today? ”

"Hahaha, you haven't been here for a long time, it has grown up naturally, don't run, the more you run, the more it wants to pull you, it may have been too long since I saw anyone, and I want to be majestic."
