Chapter 13 Uncle Kongwu
The next day, Lin Yuanming thanked the sister-in-law who provided them with the best shelter and food, and the sister-in-law was so anxious that her face turned red, "Eldest nephew, daughter, it is right for us mountain people to entertain your distinguished guests in the city, willingly, don't want anything, you take it back, take it back." ”
Seeing that the sister-in-law didn't accept it, Du Ruo grabbed her hand, "Sister-in-law, this is just a little bit of our heart, just when we buy you a gift, you have made us delicious food and provided the best accommodation, we don't express a little gratitude, and we can't go away." ”
The sister-in-law was still refusing, Du Ruo stuffed the money into her pocket, pulled Lin Yuanming and ran up, only to hear a voice from behind, "Girl, wait, bring a bag of soybeans to eat on the way." ”
Du Ruo was about to answer no, when a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy ran over at a gallop, stuffed Du Ruo with a bag of golden soybeans and ran away.
Du Ruo knew that he was the eldest hairy of his sister-in-law's family, so he had to hold the soybeans and look at Lin Yuanming, and the two were angry and funny.
So, while eating soybeans, the two climbed along the winding mountain road.
The scenery in the mountains is better, the mountains are more lush, the wildflowers all over the mountains are waving in the wind, and a few chirping sounds come from the forest, followed by a burst of cheering birdsong.
And the soybeans are golden, crisp, and delicious, and the scenery along the way is pleasing to the eye, two by two, I have to say, it is really a pleasant thing, Du Ruo is very grateful to his sister-in-law for this package of soybeans.
There are occasionally a few families on the mountain, Lin Yuanming asked the approximate location and distance of "Peach Blossom Chong" and "Qingshu Pass", etc., and a big uncle happened to stop by to show them the way.
Because there is no field to plant, the people on the mountains here mainly rely on hunting and collecting medicine for a living, because they often walk in the mountains and live by physical strength, and the people on the mountains are very strong. Uncle walked up the mountain road, like walking on the ground, Du Ruo had already adjusted the pace to the maximum, the speed to the fastest, or the distance from the uncle was getting bigger and bigger, Lin Yuanming was not much better, the mountain road was not easy to walk, he was still carrying two heavy suitcases, his hands and face were full of sweat, and he was also a lot behind the uncle.
The uncle who led the way in front saw that they were walking very slowly, so he deliberately slowed down his pace and offered to help them carry their luggage. So the two suitcases, after being lifted by the two strong arms, were as light as two pheasants shaking.
Seeing the effortless way of the uncle to pick it up, Du Ruo and the others were so impressed, "Uncle, you have so much strength!" "Uncle, you are so good!" "Uncle, have you practiced any kung fu?" The latter sentence was asked by Du Ruo alone.
"How can I have practiced any kung fu," the uncle smiled, "The people in the mountains rely on strength, without strength, they can't catch prey, and if they don't have strength, they can't carry bundles of medicinal herbs to the town to exchange for food, all of which are practiced." There was a sense of pride in the uncle's tone.
"You mountain people are awesome, in the company of nature, enjoying all that nature has to offer, carefree, and living freely." Du Ruo praised sincerely.
"Have you lived in the mountains all your life?" Lin Yuanming then asked.
"We have been dealing with the mountains all our lives, and we are used to it, and the outside world is no longer used to it." Uncle sighed.
With the leadership of the uncle, a day's mountain road will be there in half a day.
"In front of the green tree pass, over a small hill, is the "peach blossom chong", if you need my help when you come back, burn this green bark in this hilltop clearing. As he spoke, the uncle peeled off a large piece of bark from a half-dried old tree, "This one is burning and smoking, I can see it hunting nearby." ”
After thanking the uncle, they left.
