Section 3: Purple Mountain Trip (2)

The sound of chickens calling for dawn, the cold air of dawn is everywhere in the four fields of the mountain village, the pale blue sky is dotted with a few residual stars, and on the horizon in the east, there is a trace of bright light overflowing.

The boy fell asleep, perhaps because he was too tired, or because he had a firm goal in his heart.

With the rooster crowing, he opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a little more determination in his eyes than before. "Today I will go to the mountains with my father, and it is time to get up," the boy thought to himself. It was still cloudy, so he got up and got dressed, and pushed the door open.

Stretching out, he greedily took a breath of the morning air. My father had already packed up his things in front of the hall, and the wooden bucket of water had been neatly placed outside the hall, and it seemed that he had been up for a long time.

Seeing Ren Du come out, his father stopped what he was doing, patted his body, and said with a smile:

"I'm up, I just thought I'd let you sleep for a while, pack up my things and call you."

"Well, it's okay father, I'm resting"

"That's good, let's go wash up, there are steamed buns on the table, I'll prepare some dry food, and I'll eat it on the spot at noon." Your Uncle should be here right away." Since Ziding Mountain is some distance from the village, it takes at least four or five hours to go back and forth, because he is afraid that the children will starve on the road, so he specially prepared some dry food for the occasional needs on the road.

"Yes, Father. Then Ren Du went to the back room.

The light on the horizon gradually overflowed more and more as the rooster crowed. Every family in the township also woke up from a peaceful dream one after another. At this time, Ren Du was sitting in the hall munching on steamed buns, when he suddenly heard a simple and thick voice coming, "Uncle Ren, good morning!" This voice is very familiar to him, who else can there be besides Huzi, that is a partner who has been playing since childhood.

Ren Du's father looked up and saw a young man with a tiger head and a tiger brain, standing at the door, dressed tightly, with a small animal skin wrapped around his waist, as if he was a little hero who was about to go to the battlefield.

"Hahaha, it's Huzi, good morning for you, didn't you have breakfast, Xiaodu is eating breakfast inside, if you don't eat, go eat some." ”

Before the words were finished, a rough voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Rabbit cub smash, are you here to walk the cow?

Huzi blushed, stuck out his tongue, and turned from a little hero into a frightened rabbit in an instant, and hurriedly drilled into the hall. I saw a big man standing in the doorway, his hair shaggy and his beard covered his face. A cloth cedar was draped over his body, revealing half of his arms, and a piece of animal skin straddling his chest was just symmetrical to his clothes, and he carried a steel fork behind him. The exposed half of his arm was as muscular as a rock, and his body seemed to be stronger than the ox behind him!

"Hey, you little bunny, you're still running!" the big man rolled up his sleeves and was about to come forward.

"Hahaha, children are like this, they forget everything when they see it. It's okay Brother Zhang". Seeing this, Ren Du's father said with a smile.

"That's not going to work! This kid's ass just doesn't need to be cleaned up!

"Hahaha, it's really okay, Brother Zhang, it's not a precious thing, and if it's ruined, it's ruined. Besides, it's not too early, is it?"

Huzi's father's stubble-covered face twitched, and he blushed slightly, "Alas, Brother Ren, I'm really sorry, this baby is this virtue, and my mother is not allowed to beat me at home, it's very wild." ”

"Hahaha, it's okay. Brother Zhang, I prepared some wine for you, it was cold in the morning, and I was bored on the road, so I would relieve you of the cold and boredom. ”

"Eh! Brother Ren, you are polite! I will accept your wine! We haven't read any books, and we can't say any kind words, but we have the strength! If there is anything else you need my help with, I will give it to you. Are these buckets, I'll get you in the car!"

"Hahaha, there's Brother Lao Zhang!" The two of them were busy one after the other.

Huzi entered the hall, looked weakly behind him, and was relieved to see that his father was not chasing. Whew~, turned his head and saw Ren Du looking at him. His face flushed slightly, and he said:

"Look, look, look, look, what! I haven't seen me chased by my father, my mother is just not there, if my mother is here, do you dare to chase him!"

Ren Du nibbled on the steamed bun and looked at him without speaking. He can't forget that time when Huzi and his mother went to the city, Huzi stole his father's wine and drank what it was like to be beaten, Huzi's howl, the whole village heard it, and the ass and balls made his father beat him so that he hadn't touched anything for two or three days.

"Hey, you still don't believe it! Forget it! Your eldest brother said that you don't understand it, and you won't entertain your eldest brother when he comes?"

"Eat steamed buns or not. Ren Du pointed to the white steamed buns on the table and said.

"What kind of attitude do you smash!"

"Don't eat it, then I'll take it in!"

"Wait a minute, no matter what you say, you will honor me!

Ren Du smiled bitterly, he knew that this product was this virtue.

As he spoke, Huzi sat down next to him.

"I'll tell you, this time I brought a fun one" Huzi nibbled on a steamed bun and mysteriously took out an object from the animal skin belt around his waist.

"Look! I haven't seen it! My father made it for me, and it can shoot birds. As he spoke, he put the steamed bun in his mouth and danced a few times.

"Cut, isn't this a slingshot, who hasn't seen it!"

"This is no ordinary slingshot, let me tell you. This is specially made for me by my father!"

"What other special functions can it have, it can bloom!" Ren Du said contemptuously.

Seeing Ren Du belittle his equipment, Huzi's face turned red and he was anxious.

"You, you, you, you, blind! Do you see these elastic tendons, three! Even if it's a small bird, the eagle can shoot it down!"

"Come on, Sensei said eagle, did you hit the little bird, your little eyes. Ren Du continued with a look of contempt.

"You, you, you, how did you talk to your eldest brother!" Hu Zi stopped, throwing out the mantra he usually said to Ren Du.

"Eat your steamed buns!" Ren Du said helplessly.

At this time, Ren Du's father walked in, saw the two children making a fuss here, and smiled slightly: Okay, ready to go, you can play while walking on the two roads.

"It's a mule or a horse, I'll walk you on the road," Huzi still refused to admit defeat and said angrily.

"This child," Ren Du's father said with a smile, and the three of them walked out of the hall together.

Huzi's father pulled the ox cart and was waiting at the door, seeing the three people come out, he rolled up his sleeves, it was okay without this action, but he didn't speak, Huzi "snorted" and got behind Ren Du's father, and the pitiful voice came from behind Ren Du's father: Dad, I was wrong, don't beat me, my mother is still at home, you don't look at my mother's face, you also look at Uncle Ren's face.

"Hey, you kid!" Huzi's father was helpless, he was just an ordinary roll up his sleeves, but Huzi, this kid, thought he was going to beat him. Ren Du's father and son laughed when they saw this.

Two adults and two children, followed by an ox cart full of wooden buckets, walked in the countryside in the early morning, and thus set off. Talking and laughing, from time to time there was the sound of Huzi's father laughing and scolding Huzi.

From a distance, a piece of harmony, the four-person walk on the mountain road in the morning, a circle of smoke around the purple mountain in the distance, the waterfall on the mountain flows straight down, as if it is connected with the sky, the scenery is beautiful, like a fairyland, like a dream. As the so-called spiritual mountain is beautiful, the air and water are dense.
