Chapter 42 A remote mountain village

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and everything was peaceful during this time, and as is customary, I received the funds for this month's activities, and with this money I bought a second-hand jeep, which I planned to rely on all the way west to the snowy mountains. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info At the current speed, it should be possible to reach the foot of the snowy mountain in half a month, but there were some small episodes on the way.

On this day, I traveled to the vicinity of the mountains of Sichuan, and through the name of the local village, I learned that I had crossed the mountain to the border of Tibet, and that was my final destination.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, and the mountain road in front of me was not very easy to walk, I simply stayed in this village for a night and made plans early tomorrow morning. I drove back to the village I had just passed, and the villagers were very welcoming when they heard about my visit, and I could see that this small mountain village was still very hospitable. According to the guidance of the local villagers, I was crowded to the village chief's house in the middle of the village tonight, although the accommodation conditions are not very good, but it is very rare here.

That night, the village chief's family killed the only remaining pheasant in the yard, and also prepared fresh goat's milk, I smelled the fragrance from a distance across the kitchen, but I could only smell it, the first time I came to such a far place when I was so big, and it was the first time to drink fresh goat's milk, but I could only smell its fragrance and not taste it, and my heart was more or less a little lost.

The village chief sat by the black wooden door and smoked a dry cigarette, leaning on the wooden door to make a sound of disrepair, it can be seen that the village chief's family is not very rich, but this makes me even more gratified, it is not a good thing to have such an honest village chief in the village, the village chief's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are sweating profusely in the kitchen, and the younger son is going out to the small shop behind the village to get some rice wine.

The gate is still swaying, but without the figure of the village chief, I stood in the yard and felt a little embarrassed, so I planned to help the village chief's wife do something, at this time the village chief's little daughter came out of the kitchen, it seemed that the firewood was not enough, I took the first step over, picked up a pile of wood and said: "I will do this kind of work, thank you for taking it in." ”

The village chief's daughter nodded with a slight flush on her cheeks, "You look good when you smile." I said as I walked. She stood at a loss, playing with her two thick ponytails with both hands, bowing her head and not speaking, I smiled and shook my head, sure enough, the girls here are very shy, I put the firewood on the side of the big black pot, the village chief's wife nodded at me slightly, I accidentally caught a glimpse of some mildew on this woman's hands, I shook my head slightly, and when I looked again, the woman had put her hand back, did you see the dazzle, I pouted and walked out, and happened to meet the village chief: a bottle of soju in my left hand and a small bag of peanuts in my right hand, He was followed by his chubby little son, holding a jar of rice wine bigger than his head.

I took it and followed the village chief into the house, to the house to see the scene in front of me a little bit of a taste for me, the roof of the canvas has broken several big holes, revealing the black and brown beams and slightly mildew thatch, the yellow-brown ground is scattered with a few broken marble bricks, and then there is a coal stove that I don't know how many years old, the red coal in it constantly transmits heat to the house, although I don't feel a trace of cold, but from the village chief's hot breath here is not too high, At least around minus seven or eight degrees.

The village chief stomped his feet, and from the shabby cotton coat showed two dry and somewhat purple hands, beckoning me to sit down quickly, I felt a little pantothenic acid in my heart, took off my shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang, it seems that the village chief enjoyed the time sitting on the kang, squinted at me, I don't know when there was an extra cigarette bag and pot in my hand, with the match wiped, a strong smell of inferior cigarettes began to diffuse.

I smiled and touched his head, and the village chief told me that his youngest son's name is Junko, and he was born a little sluggish, but the medical conditions in the village are limited, so he can only let it go like this.

I took a sip of the rice wine on the table, and although it didn't taste anything, the moment the thick syrup slid down my throat, I felt that it was definitely the best wine, this kind of wine that could not be drunk in a city full of high-rise buildings, and only in this remote mountain village could I appreciate the mystery of it, and I couldn't help but give a thumbs up and began to admire the village chief.

After a while, a few dishes in the kitchen were all on the table, although they were all home-cooked dishes, but it was already a feast for such a family, I smiled and sandwiched two chicken legs in front of Junko and his sister, at first they were a little prevaricated, but at my strong request, after a while there were only two chicken bones left, the village chief and his wife just took the steamed buns and chewed them dryly, from time to time glanced at the plate of chicken on the table, it can be seen that the couple are reluctant to eat, and leave all the good things to me, an outsider, At this time, I saw that the village chief seemed to be choked, I took the opportunity to drag the meat in front of him, and sure enough, the village chief coughed a few times, and a few grains of white flour squirted out of his mouth, and after a while, the village chief blushed and said: "It's all my fault, I'm really embarrassed, we countrymen are not so polite." ”

I pretended to be angry and said, "Look at you, how can you eat it when it's like this?" Eat it, I'll go to sleep. I walked out, and as soon as I reached the door, I heard the village chief's whimper: "This kid has such a good heart." ”

Before I knew it, the sky was completely covered in black, and there were a few dog barks from time to time outside, and I was idle and wanted to take advantage of the night to go out for a walk, but as soon as I walked to the door, the village chief grabbed me: "What are you going to do?" ”

The village chief's hand strength is not small, I turned my head in some surprise: "Oh, it's nothing, I just want to go out for a walk, get familiar with the pressing environment, anyway, I can't sleep at night, it's better to do something meaningful." ”

Who knew that the village chief's face suddenly became angry: "You should sleep honestly at night, don't do anything to die, even if you are a guest, I will not be soft-hearted, go back quickly, I don't want to see you become the seventh." ”

"The seventh?" I was a little dazed and a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, young man, don't ask too much, go to bed early and get up tomorrow to get on the road, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, I'm also for your good, after saying that, the village chief walked back to the bedroom by himself.
