Chapter 23: The Shed
The atmosphere in the mountains is generally that the man is the head of the family, and he is taught by the idea of respecting the old and loving the young, and the juniors have no right to speak in front of the elders, as long as they have a good relationship with the elders, these impulsive young men should have nothing to do with them, Wu Xie looked at the angry young man and smiled secretly in his heart.
A group of people joined their team, the old man was the oldest, and he didn't seem to have to carry a lot of weight, Xiao Liu looked more stable and gentle, and concentrated his firepower and he set it closely, and the old man told him that he was a village cadre in the village, the village was too backward, although there were wires, but the traffic was inconvenient and could not develop, and now the young people are running out, and there are not many young men who can do farm work, so they can only let them these cadres urge to drive dozens of miles of mountain roads to fight pigweed. It's just that everyone respects him and doesn't let him do too much work when they see him old.
Xiao Liu glanced at Wang Baqiu while facing him, and the two sides naturally exchanged looks, and then quickly separated.
The group followed them for a while, the mountains here are low, and the scene on the other side of the mountain cannot be seen clearly, only that the mountains are lush and green, and their destination is in the Guangao Mountains.
It was already night when he followed them all the way, and he walked back for more than an hour with the sunset on his back, and it was getting dark, and as he walked, Wu Xie's face became solemn, and his eyes kept looking around.
Xiao Liu noticed Wu Xie's small movements, and his fingers inadvertently stabbed him in the back, and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?" ”
Wu Xie looked back at Xiao Liu, and said in a low voice: "I came to this place last time, if there is no change in two years, there will definitely be a foothold to go forward." ”
Sure enough, not long after leaving, a wooden shack of a medicine picker appeared in front of him, Wang Baqiu's expression became excited, he gave the stone a look, and motioned for him to hurry up and occupy a good position.
The old man pushed open the door, turned to them, and said, "Let's spend the night here today, there is a stove here, and you can cook and eat by yourself if you are willing." ”
Wu Xie followed them in, and it was a two-story shack like two years ago, connected by a ladder, and above it was an attic, which had no furniture but was paved with several large wooden planks, and in the center of the room was a pit full of charcoal ash, which was used to make a fire for warmth.
They put down their equipment, picked up some dry firewood outside, and hurried to make a fire to keep warm. Then take out the dry food from the bag, bake it directly and eat it.
Wu Xie gnawed on the dry food, the taste was similar to usual, and he didn't know if it was materialized by them, or if it was a genuine thing, the people around him had been exposed to this energy for a long time, and they didn't know what side effects they had when they used it or eaten it, and when he came back to his senses, it was already dark outside, and the cries of wild beasts came from all around.
Mi Tang lit a cigarette, leaned over to the old man, looked at the black pressure outside, and talked softly. I was a little disappointed not to get an accurate answer from his mouth, and quickly came back here.
Duo Qi looked at Mi Tang in a bad mood, and the two didn't know what to say behind their backs, Duo Qi turned to everyone and said: "It's not very safe here at night, we have to watch the fire at night to avoid wild beasts from breaking in." ”
Wu Xie glanced at them, he was not one of them, and no one was at ease that he was watching the fire, so he was happy to be idle, and he was tired enough on this day's road, so he simply found a corner, didn't hear what they said, and fell asleep after a while.
