Chapter Seventy-Seven: Alien Mouses
Compared with those years, the road in and out of Savage Tun is only slightly wider than before, and I heard the master who opened the three wheels say that in these years, the eastern coast has been engaged in construction, and a large amount of timber has been transported out of these forests. After the mountain temple of the year, it is still so dilapidated, a hurry to say goodbye, it has been seven spring and autumn seasons have passed, I don't know if the persimmon tree in the tun is still full of red and clear fruits as before, remembering that for that little thing, the fat man was not less scolded by the old man Miao, and every time Miao Lan secretly got a few to relieve their hunger.
The three wheels are much faster than the donkey cart of the old man Miao, and the shaking of more than three hours has made the butts of several people rotten, Cha Wenbin said that they ran barefoot back then, thinking about that time, although it was bitter, it was also happy.
It was past four o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at Tunzi, and a few children with snot and eyebrows were getting candy around the fat man at the entrance of the village, and the chimneys of every house were smoking white smoke from dinner. Not to mention how lively it is to meet again, although she and Miao Daddy had a meeting in the Nalengler Gorge a year ago, Miao Lan rubbed her hands and was a little overwhelmed.
The friends of the year have grown up, and Miao Lan has now become a slim girl, so many years, she still has not changed to the simplicity of the mountain people, when she saw Cha Wenbin and his party, she blushed so much that she hurriedly ran back to the house to comb her hair again, and changed her clothes. Compared with the current smell of the rivers and lakes of the few of them, this girl of the same age has really not changed at all, so the one Cha Wenbin met last year is definitely not the real Miao Lan.
The pot was steaming, the wild fish in the river were suddenly rolling, the golden corn tortillas were pasted on the side of the pot, the fragrant pheasant stewed with mushrooms was stewed on the stove on the side, Daddy Miao was brewing sorghum wine in the backyard, Ye Qiu was helping to chop firewood in the yard, and the fat man was busy distributing gifts to every blind date who came.
At dinner, there were three tables of people sitting in the courtyard of Daddy Miao, young and old, and the people who came also brought the best wine and food in the family, this is the people in the mountains of Northeast China, with that simplicity in their bones, and it is not the appearance seen from the TV sketches.
Among these people, there are some old faces, many of them were brothers and sisters who went to the ground together, and now some of them have become families, have offspring, and unconsciously Cha Wenbin has also become an uncle.
Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, all the memories were the things they had done back then, and no one mentioned the fire they put at the end after all, and the lively atmosphere lasted until the end, and Cha Wenbin also knew that they were the first batch of educated youths who had come back from the tunzi for so many years.
At night, the charcoal fire on the side of the kang is burning vigorously, and the wine has some stamina, and the fat man drank a little too much at night and went to sleep first. Miao Lan is kneading noodles in the kitchen, preparing to wrap roe deer meat dumplings for them early tomorrow morning, which in the past can only be enjoyed once in the Chinese New Year.
"You come," Father Miao glanced up at Cha Wenbin but stopped talking, he was getting older than a year ago, there was a lot more gray hair on his head, and the Osaka finger on his finger was constantly turning, remembering that before, he never wore this ring.
"It's just to come and see you and the villagers, don't go so many years, we were in trouble when we left, and we didn't understand anything at that time......"
"Hey," Father Miao sighed and shook his hand softly: "No one blames you, don't mention the past, aren't the villagers very happy to see you." ”
"I'm happy to come, but aren't there some people who haven't come......"
"No, it's all here," Daddy Miao fiddled with the charcoal fire, and the sparks splashed up and jumped on his eyelids, and he ducked back and almost knocked over the bench. "There are only a few families left in the village now, and there are still a group of people to leave before winter, and when they come back next year, I am afraid it will be difficult to even gather a table of people."
"What's wrong?"
"A few years ago, the wood was cut so fiercely that the country began to close the mountains and cultivate forests. The new seedlings have just been planted, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to stay here to eat the mountains, and the local government also encourages the mountain people to go out, to the town, to the county seat, and to arrange the foundation to arrange work, who is willing to stay here. ”
Cha Wenbin said: "What about you, when will you move out?" ”
"Me," Father Miao glanced at the still lit kitchen across the window and said, "I can't leave, the Miao family has been guarding this one-third of an acre of land for generations, and when Lan Lan's generation is over, I have to ask you something." When you leave, can you take Lan Lan with you? ”
"Why," Cha Wenbin was puzzled: "This Lan Lan is your only reliance, if you want to go, then just go together, she can't be reluctant to leave you here alone." ”
"I'm old," said Daddy Miao with a smile on his face, "She shouldn't still belong to this mountain, I can't let the next generation continue to spend here, you just do it." So saying, he got up and said to them, "Rest early, and I'll go out for a walk." ”
"Where?"
went to the corner of the wall and picked up a shotgun, Daddy Mao took off the old cotton jacket and slowly put it on: "I'll go around the mountains and see if I can shoot a roe deer and a wild boar or something." ”
"Then why don't we go with you," Cha Wenbin said, "To be honest, I still miss the time when I went out with the old hunters, so I thought I would take a walk with the old man?" ”
"Hey, no need, there are many tigers, wolves, jackals and leopards in the mountains this season, it's not good if it hurts you." Saying that, Father Miao went to push the door, Cha Wenbin immediately glanced at Ye Qiu, and the two immediately chased him out.
In the yard, Father Miao turned around and said, "You go back and rest, come from afar, you are tired of traveling, Lanlan will prepare dumplings for you tomorrow morning." ”
"Daddy Miao," Cha Wenbin said: "I'm afraid there are no roe deer to fight at this late hour, only some rats may still be running in the field, and this foreign mouse is very fierce, like to bite people indiscriminately, I think we should accompany it." ”
"That's it!" At this time, the door was pushed open again, and the fat man yawned and said as he walked: "If you want to catch mice, we are more clever than a dog's nose, and we smelled rats on the way here. ”
Father Miao tightened the gun belt on his back and said, "It seems that you all know?" ”
The fat man said: "I only know that a group of rats are coming, and it is estimated that they are running for us, but the old man didn't see it?" ”
"There is such a group of people, who have been here for a week, wandering around the mountains, saying that what kind of geological team they are, they live in the corn field on the opposite mountain, I see that they have been around for a few days to choose the target, and it is estimated that they will start tonight."
As he was talking, suddenly there was a muffled sound in the distance, just like the explosion of firecrackers, the fat man's ears were pointed, and he heard it at once: "Dog, I still use explosives, and my mother estimates that I have found a nest." We're just in time now, and when we get there, those rats will be underground, and we'll catch turtles in an urn. ”
That corn field, they are very ripe, and they did not see the bud valley in that field on Chinese New Year's Eve. At that time, the land was bare, there were forests everywhere, but there were only some low weeds on the land, and some fruit trees were also tried to be planted in the tunzi, none of which could survive, except for planting corn, which could barely harvest a few, but it was far worse than the bottom of the mountain, and there was no way to do it at that time, so a little more was a little.
In the past, they were inexperienced, but now, they can probably see the problem, like this kind of grass on the surface of the ground is mostly under the ancient tombs, because in the past, some tombs rammed the earth was too strong, it was like a discus, so the soil was not breathable, and what was planted could not survive.
From afar, I saw two miner's lamps wandering there, and the fat man with a cat's waist looked at the shadow in the tent on the ground, and there was a wheel on the ground, and a man was shaking the wheel to release people. Sure enough, it was a group of rats, and he said to himself: "Dare to find food on Lao Tzu's territory, and look for death!" ”
Father Miao squinted at the fat man and said, "What, you're here to do this too?" ”
"No, no, no." The fat man hurriedly slapped his mouth and said: "It's all been with Ding Shengwu's old immortal for a long time, this mouth is Jianghu dialect, don't see it, we just came to see you." ”
"Can I get over?" Cha Wenbin asked.
The fat man said: "Wait a minute, generally there are at least two people who go to the ground, and when their first things are transported, all the attention will be attracted to the ground, and at that time, we will kill it in one fell swoop, just like a god descending to earth, hehe." ”
After about half an hour, there was nothing unearthed on the thief hole, and the fat man was a little puzzled: "It doesn't make sense, why are your hands and feet so slow, and you dare to come out and mix the rivers and lakes with this little skill?" Something is wrong, whatever, this should be a group of veterans. ”
"What do you mean?" Father Miao asked.
The fat man said: "You see that there is no excess soil around that cornfield, which shows that they use the extrusion directional blasting method, and the level that will use this method to make holes is not too low, and it is generally blown directly into the cemetery, and the novices are digging the soil." There are rules for going down to the ground, things must come out quickly, otherwise who knows what happened below, generally the first batch of goods must be out of the chamber in ten minutes, so ink, either it is very difficult to get underneath, or they have encountered some trouble. ”
As he was talking, suddenly the two people who were shaking their wheels were shouting something outside the tent, and they didn't hear it clearly from a distance, and after a while, someone ran out of the tent, and they were very excited to see their movements, and the two people began to shake their wheels constantly, and after a while, one person was dragged out of the ground by them, only to see that he was still lying on the ground on one side and did not move......
