Chapter 68: Li Ren
The first time I entered the mountain, I encountered a rainstorm, Ge Zhuang and I were depressed, not to mention, fortunately the cave was big enough, so many people crowded in it was not too crowded, I picked up some firewood that had not been soaked by the rain by the cave, poured some diesel, lit it with a lighter, and a bunch of people came over to roast the fire.
Chen Yun is a lady, and there is a woman in the team who coaxes the child to sleep, both of them are soaked by the rain, and they want to change their clothes, and there are so many men in the same company, there is a lot of inconvenience, so Chen Yun proposed to go deep into the cave first, and find a place to avoid the light to change the clothes.
I handed the flashlight to Chen Yun and said that you should be careful when you go in to change your clothes, the tea sellers in the same company don't look like good people, they always look at you, or I will go in with you and be responsible for helping you keep watch, right? Don't worry, I can't peek.
Chen Yun said goodbye, fire prevention and theft, the person I am most guarded against is still you, you slander others to peek, I think the person who wants to peek the most is you, right?
I gave her a word, her old face was slightly red, and she immediately corrected her tone, "How can you talk as a lesbian?" In line with the five basic principles of peaceful coexistence between comrades of revolution and order, I also put forward this suggestion for the sake of your safety, how could I peek and look at the eye of the needle, don't compare me with a fat man. ”
Ge Zhuang was lying down with a short gun, and he was suddenly unhappy, and said with a tiger face, little pumpkin, you are endless, can you take me with you when you talk about embarrassing things, fat man, I am bright and fair, and I want to see it in a bright and bright way, which is like you sneaky? Wake up in the middle of the night to pick the eye of a needle?
Chen Yun snatched the flashlight from my hand, glared at me viciously, and said You quickly turn your head around, and if you dare to look at me, you will gouge out your eyes.
Seeing her angry, Ge Zhuang and I were silent, until the two female comrades hid in the dark corner of the cave, Ge Zhuang secretly touched my arm, and said shyly, "Little pumpkin, do you really want to see it, if you want to see it, just rush over it after a while." ”
I said why wait a little longer? Ge Zhuang was anxious, and said that you are really a donkey, and the eldest girl has no time to take off her clothes? Give her two minutes first, and then you can go in when the big sister is almost off, this will go in too early, and it won't show you......
I said, what are you thinking about all day long, are you ashamed? Lao Zhong had already set up the bonfire, picked up the wet pieces and put them by the fire to dry, took out two cans of canned beef, pried them open with a dagger, and threw them to me and Ge Zhuang, saying that you don't mess around, eat quickly when you are hungry.
We were tired enough to find a place to shelter from the rain, so we sat down around the fire, and the farmers who sold tea and tobacco were also there.
Ge Zhuang folded a wooden stick to make simple chopsticks, and handed me a pair by the way, I ate canned beef, and looked back at the old fellow who was standing at the entrance of the cave with a sad face, looking at the water curtain in the sky and worried, so he stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what are you looking at?" ”
The fellow said hey, we rarely encounter such a big rainstorm here, this rainstorm comes together, I am afraid that there will be a flash flood in the village again, my Xiaoni is alone at home, I am really worried that there is a mistake.
I handed him the beef and said, "Brother, you still have a daughter, how old are you?" He smiled shyly and said that she was nine years old, and the educational resources here were relatively scarce, and she had never studied, so she dried tobacco for me at home.
Ge Zhuang said, "Brother, don't blame me for being too talkative, this knowledge is the primary productive force, no matter how hard it is, at least let the doll go to nine years of compulsory education, and if you don't have knowledge, you will suffer a lot in the future." ”
The old man frowned sadly, and his face was wrinkled, saying that the baby's mother went early, and the family really didn't have any conditions......
In recent years, the motherland's economy has developed greatly, but there are still many villages in Yunnan Biansai struggling on the edge of the extremely poor food and clothing line, and talking too much will not make any difference, so Ge Zhuang and I have to shut up and stop talking.
Lao Zhong said don't talk anymore, hurry over and dry his clothes, he was wet after a long day of rain, beware of not catching a cold.
When the fellow heard this, he lifted his back basket, took out a bag of herbs from the layer of oilcloth underground, and began to recommend the herbs he had sunned......
This fellow is not at a high level of education, Mandarin is sandwiched, I listened to it for a long time before I understood the intention of his words, this is to recommend to us the herbs that he has sunned at home.
I fooled him like this before, and tricked him into taking us into the mountains in the name of herbs, so naturally I couldn't show the stuffing, so I pretended to take the root of the herb, put it to my mouth and sniffed it, not to mention, this herb has a clear aroma, and it smells pretty good, I asked Ge Zhuang to take out the pot stove, and go outside to pick up the rain and come back to boil the medicine.
Ge Zhuang was sent outside by me, and I continued to sit down, chatting with the fellow, and asked him how he found out that there was a hole here? He said that this cave is a lot of years, from his grandfather's generation has found that people living in the mountains are relatively poor, in addition to digging in the field to eat, occasionally will go into the mountains to hunt, this hole is grandfather when hunting, it was a wolf den at that time, his grandfather took a shotgun to the end, and when hunting in the future, he will come here to live for a night.
I said that this cave doesn't look like it was formed naturally, and there are traces of artificial excavation, so it can't be the stronghold of some ethnic minority, right?
The villagers said that there is this possibility, I watched the TV in the county, saying that there are 56 ethnic groups in our country, the fact is far more than that, take Yunnan as an example, there are 26 ethnic minorities that have been counted, this is not counting the isolated Li villages in the mountains, but the scale of these ethnic groups is not large, and the poor natural environment will be eliminated one day.
Listening to him talk about this topic, I was aroused a lot of interest, so I continued to inquire, "Brother, you said that there are other seedlings on the Ten Thousand Snake Ridge, do those seedlings also belong to this kind of Miao village that lives in seclusion?" ”
The fellow said yes, the Ten Thousand Snake Ridge is deserted, it was originally a good place to collect medicine, but in recent years it has changed, I don't know when, there is a Li village relocated to the top, since then foreigners are not allowed to go into the mountains to collect medicine, you don't know how fierce these people are, last year my second aunt had a rare strange disease, must pick the snake grass in the back mountain to be cured well, my second uncle led a few wild dogs, and bravely went into the mountain.
His second uncle also knew that the people in the Li village were not easy to mess with, so after going up the mountain, he chose a remote place to dig medicinal herbs, but he was still caught in the middle of the road, and was tied into the village by the rope of a group of Li people, and that night he cursed a guy with oil paint on his face, saying that it was the punishment that the gods gave him.
Tossed for a night, the next day the group of Li people released his second uncle, his second uncle picked up a life, a person embarrassed down the mountain, thought it would be fine, but less than two days after returning home, the rash began to appear all over the body, and he had a high fever and was unconscious.
