Walking on the road again, I found that the mountain road after the rain was even more difficult to walk than yesterday, especially the mountain road was steep and flat, and everyone was covered in mud after half a day. The air was damp and damp, and some of the leaves smelled of rotting, and depending on the situation, there might be rain to come.

I walked a few steps, crossed the police and asked behind Lao Tie: "Big brother, has the weather in this mountain always been so bad?" ”

Lao Tie turned around and stretched out his hand to pull me, letting me walk side by side with him, and then said: "No, there are good days, but even if it is sunny, the humidity in the mountains is still high." In a situation like this after the rain, the fog is easy to gather, and I am afraid that I may not be able to leave until two or three o'clock in the afternoon today. Try to get to the cave of the gods and Buddhas, then it will be much safer to stay overnight. ”

"God Buddha Cave?"

Lao Tie nodded, "Yes, according to the people who went to that place came back and said that there is a natural Buddha statue in the cave, the Yi people say that God has appeared to protect this mountain and forest, if anyone can go there and worship the god and Buddha three times, they will definitely come true." Speaking of this, I saw the piety on Lao Tie's face, and I couldn't help asking: "Does my brother have any wishes that he wants to fulfill?" ”

Lao Tie smashed his mouth twice, and the rare shyness was revealed on his face: "My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and I want to ask the Buddha to give me a male baby, so that I can inherit the lineage of Lao Tie's family." ”

At that moment, I couldn't help but laugh, the child was already pregnant, and it would be useful to ask for a man again. It's not broken, the ravine is indeed more superstitious, the preference for sons is serious, and it doesn't hurt to worship Buddha and ask for children. Lao Tie saw me laughing and followed him, and said honestly: "Sister, don't laugh at me, it's really smart, if you have any wishes, you can ask for it." ”

I smiled and shook my head, "I don't know what to ask for." ”

Hearing this, Lao Tie turned his head strangely and asked, "What?" Don't you young girl have any wishes? ”

I was silent for a moment, and then I replied softly: "When I find that my wish is an extravagant hope, I gradually stop thinking about those empty things." Lao Tie paused, his mouth opened and he didn't speak, I smiled when I saw this: "Big brother has something to say." ”

So Lao Tie said: "Sister, I didn't say you, it's just a while to vomit with the family, and I still have to go back to read this book." The conditions in your city are good, unlike ours in the mountains, just forget it after graduating from primary school, if you have that condition, when my baby is born in the future, I will definitely send him to the outside of the mountain, and let him go to university. Also, you're only in your early twenties, so don't pretend to be too old. ”

This concept seems to have been fixed in Lao Tie's mind, and he has always regarded me as a student girl. Unable to correct him, he was about to ask some other questions, when he suddenly heard a call from behind him: "Wait ahead." Turning around, I was taken aback, and I was so engrossed in talking to Lao Tie that I didn't notice that there was a heavy fog around us again, and all the people who were walking behind us were gone.

Lao Tie's face changed greatly when he turned around, and he shouted urgently: "What about people? This is also what I want to ask, Lao Tie raised his voice and shouted: "Hey, are you in the back?" There was silence, no one responded, and my face turned pale.

I didn't hear any movement just now, and even if the pace with Lao Tie was a little faster, it was impossible for everyone to fall behind. Something must have happened that made them stranded, and Lao Tie and I walked in front of them without noticing. Glancing at the hound in Lao Tie's hand, it shouldn't have encountered a dangerous creature, otherwise the dog would definitely bark.

Immediately decided: "Let's go, let's go back and find someone." ”
