An old woman sat with her back against the wall, her slear, wrinkled black face with dull eyes, chapped lips slightly grinning, revealing a mutilated tooth.

She was dressed in traditional ethnic minority clothes, her hands and forearms exposed outside her sleeves were black and thin, her feet were not wearing shoes, and in front of her thin, mud-stained feet, a black earth dog stared at the camera with burning eyes.

"Click!" Su Li pressed the shutter and patted the puppy squatting next to him: "Gongzi, let's go." ”

Gongzi was a two-year-old golden retriever, who was lazily lying at Sully's feet, and when he heard his master's order, the puppy whined twice in his throat, and his eyes were fixed on the old woman and the black dog not far away, but he couldn't get up.

Su Li smiled dotingly, he reached out and fumbled in his backpack for a while, found a small package of Pingyao beef jerky, tore open a bag, and fed the small pieces of beef jerky inside to a puppy named Gongzi.

The bar was not in a hurry to eat, stretched out his little pink tongue and licked Su Li's hand, and then gently bit the beef jerky, and after chewing slowly, the golden retriever finally stood up lazily, and while looking at the black dog and the old woman vigilantly, he followed Su Li's feet towards the center of the stockade.

The old woman suddenly stretched out a black, thin, withered hand to Sully, and whispered in the local vernacular, "Hungry...... Give me something to eat......"

Sully couldn't quite understand her words, but, combined with the old woman's facial expressions, he knew what the old woman meant. After a moment's hesitation, he took out a ham sausage from his backpack and threw it into the old woman's arms.

The old woman's hands were so dirty that he didn't dare to hand them to her directly, for fear that he would accidentally touch her hands.

The old woman grabbed the ham sausage very quickly, tried to tear it with her hands, but when it was not, she immediately put the ham sausage in her mouth, and with what few teeth she had left, she bit open the package, and ate it with great gulp.

The black dog in front of her stared at Sully with burning eyes, and the tail behind her wagged unconsciously fast.

Su Li smiled at it, took out another ham sausage, opened the package and tore off the casing, and threw the intestine to it.

The pink sausage arced in the air, and the black dog leaped to its feet, opening its mouth to catch the sausage exactly before it hit the ground, the snow-white canine teeth glittering in the sunlight, and it swallowed the ham sausage whole without chewing much, and then looked at Sully with hope.

The pole buried its head and walked forward, not even looking at the black dog and the ham sausage, in its heart, the ham sausage was purely junk food, for the garbage dog to eat.

"Nope." Sully shrugged at the black dog with his hands outstretched, and whether or not it understood the meaning, walked towards the center of the stockade with the pole.

Sully is a professional photographer and is quite well-known in the industry.

Recently, there was a photography contest in the province, and Su Li made a special trip to the mountains to collect style, hoping to take good pictures to participate.

The ancient village introduced to him by his friend is well preserved, whether it is the old buildings or the bluestone paved path, as well as the people who are leisurely on the path, they all reveal a simple and clumsy taste, and the results are excellent.

For example, the skinny, hungry old woman and the black dog in front of her.

Thinking of this, Sully looked back at the black dog, which stood at a distance, wagging its tail at him, but did not follow, and the old woman had one hand on the dog's back, and her eyes wrapped in wrinkles stared at him heavily.

This gaze was very uncomfortable, and Sully subconsciously avoided her gaze, turned his head and looked aimlessly ahead - I'm sorry, there are too many people in need of help in this world, and my ability is limited.

Su Li walked around the stockade with the pole, took a few more photos, and found a small mountain bag on the south side of the stockade.

The terrain of Shanbao is very high, and from there, you may be able to take a good bird's-eye view of the ancient village as a whole.

He patted the head of the pole with great interest, and walked towards it with the pole.

This hill bag didn't look very tall from a distance, but when he got closer, when he stood at the foot of the hill bag, he realized that it was actually very tall.

Fortunately, although the mountain is deep and densely wooded, there is a dilapidated stone path leading to the top of the mountain, and with the agility and endurance that Sully has cultivated from running outside for many years, there should be no problem climbing up.

It's just a lazy dog, and I don't know if I'm willing to climb up with me?

It's very cool here, maybe the trees are dense, and it even feels a little cold. Sully sat on the stone at the foot of the mountain, smoked a cigarette, and patted the head of the bar: "Come, bar, let's go up." ”

Sure enough, the puppy whined twice, looked up at the end of the stone steps with frightened eyes, and refused to get up with a dead face.

Su Li was angry and funny, and scolded in a low voice: "If you are so lazy, I won't take you out next time." ”

"Hey, you're a pretty dog!"

As she spoke, a girl emerged from the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

Girl XVIII. Nine-year-old, with a pretty, slightly darkened face, hair in a pigtail behind him, a simple and neat green cloth shirt and trousers, a bird gun on his shoulder, and two pheasants and a hare strung with branches in his hands, looked at Sully with a smile on his face, and finally his eyes fell on the pole.

The pole was very fine, and knew that the girl was praising it, and the lazy dog suddenly came to his senses, and jumped up and ran to the girl diligently around her, and his tail wagged so that he was diligent, and the wind that brought up fanned the grass next to him.

Sully only felt a fever on his face - and that's it, as soon as he saw the beautiful girl's spirits, he came. I was too lazy to stand still just now, but now, look at it!

The girl put down her prey, squatted down and played with the pole for a while, noticed that Sully kept looking at the stone steps up the mountain, stood up and asked Sully, "Do you want to go up this mountain?" ”

Su Li nodded with a wry smile and patted the restless pole's head: "Yes, but this lazy guy doesn't want to go up." ”

"You can't go up!"

Almost at the same time as Su Li's words fell, the girl's sharp voice sounded, and the tone was repeated almost sternly: "You can't go up this mountain!" ”

Su Li looked at the girl in amazement.

The girl's two dark eyebrows frowned tightly, obviously she also realized her gaffe, and softened her tone slightly, but the meaning of her words was still very firm: "You can't go up this mountain." ”

Su Li was a little annoyed in an instant, thinking to himself, isn't it just a small mountain bag, and it is not contracted by your family, why don't you let me go up from your little child's house?

What made him even angrier was the rod that ate inside and out: the damn lazy dog whined and hummed, leaning against the corner of the girl's blue pants, wagging his tail at the girl flatteringly.

Su Li's face sank, and he patted the head of the bar: "Let's go, let's go up the mountain!" ”

The bar let out a whimper that bordered on crying, and shrunk behind the girl with his tail between his legs.
