"Be careful, slow down..."

One day's mountain road stops and stops, I see a car coming in front of me, I park in the wrong car area and wait for the other party to pass before leaving, no wonder my grandfather has been dead for so many years, and my parents have not mentioned the matter of returning to my hometown, it is sparsely populated, it is not a tourist area, there is almost no public transportation, every household is a motorcycle in and out of the mountain, and occasionally a van passes by Li Xiang.

The road was full of potholes, and it was replaced by an old car, Li Xiang really didn't dare to drive rashly.

With a slight shake, it is very likely that you will fall off a cliff and the car will be destroyed and people will die.

......

The navigation showed that this was the township they were looking for, but they couldn't find the name of the village, so they asked the villagers in the village.

They all said they hadn't heard the name.

"Just ask the elderly..."

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some small place names have been changed several times, and it is normal for young people not to know about it, but this village is closed to every house, and the elderly have not been found for a long time.

"Where is the township government?"

Li Xiang turned back and asked the young man just now, the township must know about the change of place name, and it was right to ask them.

......

After several twists and turns, they finally knew where their grandfather was born, and after explaining their intentions, the township government helped them find the village back then.

But they know that there is a village that was surnamed Li from house to house a few decades ago, and after liberation, it was renamed Lijia Village.

......

"Here it is."

Grandpa told my dad that there was a very large reservoir next to his house.

The surface of the lake is like a mirror, and when the sun shines, the water surface dances with sparkling spots.

The surrounding blue mountains rise and fall, one on top of the other, like the waves of the sea, endlessly extending to the far end of the sky.

Dad stood by the reservoir, staring at the water, thinking about how grandpa played with his friends by the reservoir before the famine, carefree, how did he expect it.....

His eyes were blurred with tears, this was his roots, and it was also the hometown where his grandfather croaked and thought about it day and night, but he couldn't come back until he died.

If my great-grandfather's family hadn't fled and survived, there would not be the Li Xiang family standing by the reservoir today.

Grandpa said that the reservoir is particularly large, and this "big" is limited to the vision of the little kid wearing open crotch pants back then, and today, it is the size of an artificial lake, next to the reservoir, and is full of crops.

Dad found a family with an old man, and the two talked a lot, and the young man on the side helped "translate" in broken Mandarin.

At that time, the village died and fled, and there was no one alive, and the old man moved here from other places a few years later.

......

The three of them went to the reservoir again, found an open field and laid out the mats, basking in the sun, and sometimes saw a villager passing by with farm tools.

Li Xiang took out his mobile phone to take videos and photos, and went back to show him in front of his grandfather's grave.

.....

"What's this busyness, slow down..."

On the way back, the wheels sank into a deep pit, and the three of them gritted their teeth and couldn't lift them at all

Lifted up.

Dad took out the money and was ready to give them some thank-you money, but the villagers confiscated it as Dad stuffed it.

The villagers reminded them that the road below is worse, it is easier to go up the mountain, and they need to be more careful when going down.

If you want to change to a big city, many times even if you are willing to help, you will negotiate the price in advance.

Li Xiang looked at the back of the villagers leaving, and inexplicably remembered a sentence in the book he read before:

"Live with gratitude, we come from chance.... Love your loved ones and be gentle with everything...."

......

Li Xiang took his parents back on the way, without the eager and complicated emotions when he set off.

The three of them slowly browsed the scenic spots along the way.

As soon as he arrived at the place where the hotel had WIFI, Li Xiang was anxious to deal with all kinds of approval processes in the scenic spot on the computer.
