The mountain road was rugged, and He Xu was also sweating along the way, and he couldn't help but secretly hate himself for not paying much attention to his physical fitness in the past few years, and his physical strength had decreased a lot.

Looking at the leading place in front of him, his body was still dexterous with a sack on his back, and his steps were steady, but he also noticed that whenever he walked to a steep slope or slippery place that was difficult to walk, Fang Yi would slow down, and he also took care of He Xu and Fang Dacheng in the back, but He Xu knew in his heart that this was probably mainly to take care of himself.

However, Fang Yi never stopped, nor did he speak.

Between the lines, turning over the two mountain bags, Fang Dacheng saw that He Xu was constantly dripping sweat, so he still spoke: "Let's rest for a while, we have already arrived here, and we are not in a hurry." ”

Fang Yi frowned, turned around and glanced at the sweaty He Xu, and said, "How is it?" Is it okay? ”

The three of them had been walking for nearly an hour, He Xu was carrying at least forty kilograms of sacks, and his physical strength was indeed a little exhausted, and then looking at Fang Yi, although his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, he still didn't mean to put down the sack, he gritted his teeth and said, "No problem!" ”

Fang Yidi's eyes finally flashed a hint of discoloration, ordinary city people don't have the physical strength and toughness of He Xu at all, it seems that this little man is not without merit.

"Let's take a break and smoke a cigarette!" Fang Dacheng smiled further back, "Climb over the mountain bag in front and arrive, Xiaohe, you can carry this for the rest of the way, I'll carry the sack!" ”

Along the way, Fang Dacheng told He Xu from time to time about interesting things in the mountains, and talked about those delicious things that He Xu had never eaten, such as hare, roast pheasant, mint mutton and other things. However, the relationship between the two can be regarded as familiar, and He Xu has become a "good boy" in his eyes.

"If it's okay, just stick with it." Fang Yi frowned, saw He Xu put down the sack, and said, "We still have to go back to get things, and the night road is even more difficult." ”

"Okay! Then let's keep going! When He Xu heard this, he already felt that his forearm was starting to lose some strength and couldn't grasp the heavy sack, so he put down the sack, wrapped the two horns directly around his hand, refused Fang Dacheng's kindness, grinned and carried the sack on his back.

Fang Yi nodded, glanced at He Xu deeply, didn't say much, and hurried forward again.

The last part of the journey was often the most difficult, although it did not stop, Fang Yi still slowed down, He Xu followed with difficulty, sweat like rain, and the sky was like a bloody remnant sun.

About half an hour passed, and the three of them finally arrived at Fumen Village.

The entrance of the village is a stone stele, the stele is written in traditional Chinese characters, the mark is neatly written with the three words "Fumen Village", the whole Fumen Village covers an area of not small, many people are built on the mountain, simple earthen houses, most of the cultivated land is also terraced fields in the mountains, door-to-door cattle and sheep herds, few people raise pigs, finally arrived at the entrance of the village, Fang Yi often sent a sigh of relief, put down the sack in his hand, He Xu also dropped the sack and the whole person collapsed on the hand.

Several villagers from Fumen Village were already waiting at the entrance of the village, some of them were talking and laughing and picking up the sacks and resisting into the village, and some villagers handed water to them, and a few children wearing open crotch pants ran all over the ground.

He Xu took the porcelain jar handed by an aunt, drank the water inside, and was happy, the water was not boiled water or tap water, but the spring water in the mountains, which was exceptionally clear and slightly sweet, and he felt that this was the best spring water he had ever drunk in his life.

"That's right, you can rest first, we'll take care of the rest."

Fang Yi rarely praised He Xu, although the praise was still a bit far-fetched, and then with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen strong men immediately walked out of Fumen Village, as well as a few women who looked five big and three thick, and more than a dozen children ranging from ten to sixteen years old, these people's skin looked dark because of the perennial sun exposure, and most of the clothes on their bodies looked dark yellow and old because of the wind and sun, and they had a strong local atmosphere, even the children were no exception.

Nearly 100 people stood together, with an awe-inspiring momentum, obviously Fang Yi had already greeted him, Fang Yi couldn't take a break, and the villagers were also talking and laughing, and followed Fang Yi to set off again in a hurry, rushing towards the mountains.

He Xu could only sit there and smile bitterly, and felt a little embarrassed when he saw that the children were all following him, but he also knew in his heart that if he went to hurry, it might be okay, but he definitely didn't have the physical strength to carry things, and he couldn't get used to walking on mountain roads, so he was a burden at best, so he didn't follow everyone recklessly.

Fang Dacheng also stayed, sitting next to He Xu and smoking a marlboro, and only when he saw Fang Yi leaving with everyone did he speak: "Xiaohe, it's not easy for you to come to the mountains, and you brought so many things, you shouldn't have been asked to contribute, Xiaoyi's child is not sensible, don't be like her." ”

"How so?" He Xu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's because my physical fitness can't keep up, and I have to exercise more in the future." ”

At this time, an old woman with an old man, the old man was supported by the old woman in one hand, and the other hand was holding a wooden stick, and walked over with a smile.

"Dacheng is back! I also brought my friends! ”

The old man smiled kindly, looked at Fang Dacheng and He Xu and said, "Don't sit at the entrance of the village, come, come in, go into the house to rest, eat something well, and sleep well at night!" ”

"Dad, Mom, why did you run out, let's go, Xiaohe, go home with me and rest, eat good things again!" Fang Dacheng greeted him with a smile, and said to He Xu behind him.

He Xu is hungry now, and Amway, who has been growing all the way, has already coveted the delicious food in the mountain village for a long time, and he is busy following a few people at the moment.

A few people talked and laughed along the way, most of the people in the mountains were relatively simple, He Xu couldn't see the slightest intrigue from them, he was just an outsider, walking with them, but like a family, he didn't feel a little bit of life.

The house was nothing but a simple mud house, separated by three simple wooden planks in three small rooms, each with a simple wooden bed and a futon on the bed.

He Xu felt the urge to cry when he saw this scene, it was the first time he had seen such a simple living environment, with four walls, but so.

"Xiaohe, you sleep in this room tonight, don't mind, it's not a place to live here, if you want to live better, there is no place to live here......"

With a smile on his face, Fang Dacheng pointed to one of the small beds separated by a baffle, and said to He Xu.

He Xu nodded and said busily: "It's okay, I'll just sleep here." ”

Fang Dacheng nodded and said, "You take a rest first, I'll go and get busy." ”

After Fang Dacheng finished speaking, he ran to make a fire.

There was an old sofa in the living room, He Xu sat on the old killing, watching the three children in the living room busy, one girl was the largest, looking at a villain book, sometimes laughing on his face, sometimes sad, very focused, seeing He Xu coming, he put away the villain book, smiled sweetly at He Xu, and ran out of the room.

Two five or six-year-old children were playing around in the room in open crotch pants, the taller child was holding a plastic white model airplane in the air, and his mouth was "whirring" with a dubbed sound, and the short child looked at it yearningly, crying for the toy, but the tall man just didn't give it.

"Uncle! Eat fruit! ”

After a few minutes, the little girl brought an aluminum basin, and there were a few red, plum-sized wild fruits in the basin that He Xu couldn't name at all, but he was very appetizing when he looked at the color.

He Xu took one in his hand, and just wanted to eat it, but the two children also ran over, swallowing their saliva, staring at the wild fruits in the pot, very greedy.

"No! Eat first for your guests! "The girl is very sensible, and educates the two little children with a straight face.

When the two children heard this, their faces were full of disappointment, and they still held their mouths and looked at the fruit in the aluminum basin, but they didn't ask for it, they just looked at it, seeing this scene, He Xu felt a little sad.

He put the wild fruit in his mouth and ate it, and smiled at the three children, "Okay, the guests have eaten it now, and you can eat it too." ”

"No! Uncle, this is for you! The girl said stubbornly, ignoring the two little children who reached out for fruit.

He Xu couldn't help twitching in his heart, the fruit in his mouth was very sweet, but he was reluctant to eat more.

"Good! Since it's given to me, it's mine! He Xu smiled and took the aluminum basin from the girl's hand.

The girl pursed her lips and nodded seriously, the short little kid sat directly on the ground and cried, and the tall man handed over the plane and said, "Let's go, let's fly the plane!" ”

The short, little boy burst into tears and laughed.

He Xu looked sad, took out the wild fruit and sent it to several children, and said, "Now this is my wild fruit, I will give it to you!" If you don't eat, you won't give me face! ”

The short little kid grinned, grabbed two wild fruits with his two little hands, and ate them with relish.

The little girl and the tall little boy glanced at each other, and then looked at He Xu's serious face, and finally walked over, carefully took a wild fruit, put it in his mouth, and ate it in small bites.

He Xu put the aluminum basin on the simple wooden table beside him, and looked at the children eating wild fruits with a smile, but his eyes were a little red.

It turned out that there was really such a backward and barren place in the corner that he couldn't see, for them, maybe the city people didn't care about a biscuit as a precious snack, which could make them happy for a long time.

He Xu took out a double happiness, slowly lit it, endured tiredness and got up, walked to the door, and looked at the entire mountain village, the small houses looked very inconspicuous in the lush woods of the mountains, but there were a lot of ......
