Chapter 21: The Cellar

Jiangxi followed the old man to the side of the house and saw the old man stop in front of two big rocks in the mountain.

She looked carefully under the boulder, and under the thatch, she saw a little exposed plank.

He used to think it was strange why there were two big stones next to his house, and this master looked like they were transported from the back mountain.

Now I finally know the reason, this thing was originally pressed against the plank.

"Master, this is the cellar down here, right?"

The old man laughed: "Why did you remember?" ”

Jiang Xi was embarrassed, she was not the little girl she was before, remember, of course she couldn't remember, but at this time she still nodded.

This boulder looked very heavy, and when Jiangxi was still thinking about how to move this boulder away, the old man rolled up his sleeves and started it.

What happened next made Jiang Xi stunned.

"What? was frightened, we people in the mountains just have to have the strength. As he spoke, the old man suddenly sighed.

"I still regret letting my father study and not letting him do these jobs. You say that if he had a little strength, wouldn't he not be able to come back? ”

From the old man's eyes, Jiang Xi saw a strong sense of remorse.

She wanted to open her mouth to persuade, but the old man waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't mention the previous things." Xi'er, you have to remember that you are a child in the mountains, and you have to suffer and be offended, so that no matter how great the hardship you encounter in the future, you can survive it smoothly! ”

Jiang Xi nodded heavily.

The planks were lifted, and the smell of a large patch of dust came to the surface, choking the rivers and streams to sneeze!

Seeing this, the old man laughed twice and told her to step back.

On the other side, the Li family, who was washing wild grapes, looked at this side, and a smile also appeared on his face.

It's good that they can be like this forever as a family. Many years later, when life at home became better, Lee would always recall this day.

After the dust had fallen, Jiangxi finally saw the whole cellar.

It was large underneath and stretched far away, at least twice as large as the three thatched huts above them.

"This is where food used to be stored, but now it's gone." After the old man finished speaking, he supported the ground with his hands and jumped down.

The cellar below is one person high, of course, this one person is not referring to Xiao Jiangxi, but an adult like the old man.

When Jiangxi saw the old man go down, he also learned to jump down like the old man.

Hold the ground with your hands, put your feet down first, and finally use your hands to go down with this force.

It's empty below, not to mention putting a dozen or twenty wine jars, and if there are five or so many, it's just casual.

Jiang Xi glanced at the exit of the cellar, and his brows gradually furrowed.

When you go out with the jar, you can't jump like this, you have to find a way, otherwise you won't get out of the wine. And the wine is not suitable for shaking vigorously.

"Master, you say, how about we dig a simple staircase out of the soil here?"

The old man touched his head, not understanding what the stairs at the mouth of the river stream were.

Jiang Xi had to explain patiently.

In the afternoon, Jiangxi and the old man started the project, and it was not until it was almost dark that the earth staircase was dug up, just waiting for the jar to be put in tomorrow.

Night was about to fall, and the Li family was cooking dinner, and Jiang Xi's house ushered in an uninvited guest.
