Lin Junxuan had just returned to the hotel when Li Yufan's phone called:

"Jun Xuan, I just made a phone call, and after a while, your aunt's grandson will come to pick you up. Where are you in Yushan now, I told him to let him pick you up. ”

Lin Junxuan told Li Yufan the name of the hotel, and the brief call was over. In less than a few minutes, Li Ruoyao's phone rang again.

"Now, it's yours again!" Du Ruoyao looked at the number, which was not familiar to herself, so she handed over the phone again. Lin Junxuan took the phone, listened for a while, said a few words and hung up.

As soon as the phone was hung up, Lin Junxuan said to Du Ruoyao: "It's my aunt's grandson, he will drive to pick us up in a while." Prepare to pack your bags, he will be there in more than ten minutes. ”

"Ahh After about ten minutes, the two people left the room, carried backpacks and dragged suitcases out of the hotel, and a silver-white van stopped downstairs.

"Lin Junxuan?" a teenager stepped out of the van and wondered.

"Hmm!" Lin Junxuan nodded, and the young man immediately said in surprise: "Cousin!" On the phone, Lin Junxuan described his dress, such a long dress is rare in this county, and the young man recognized it at a glance. This young man is the grandson of Lin Junxuan's aunt and grandmother.

The two of them shuddered for a moment, then went straight to the point. Put the luggage in the trunk, get in the car and go straight to Caoshui Village. Sitting in the car, Du Ruoyao asked questions all the way, and after a while, she took out the young man's foundation.

When Li Yufan called, the young man's parents were doing business in other places, and they were not in Yushan for almost half of the time for 30 days a month. After receiving Li Yufan's call, both of them were overjoyed. Knowing that the only son of the Lin couple came to Yushan, the two couples sent their own children over with the surname Suo, after all, people of the same age are always better than people with an age gap.

Because there are usually few husband and wife, the young man's life is very follows, and this car was bought for him by his father. I received a call from my father and heard that a distant cousin who was doing big business was coming, and it was a Saturday, so I came over.

More than ten minutes later, the van had already driven out of the county, the road was getting rougher and rougher, and the dirt was flying behind the tires. Yushan is a hilly area, and the car spends most of its time on the mountain. And between the mountains and the mountains are paddy fields.

Caoshui Village is deep in the mountains, and after more than two hours, the young man pointed to a mountain in the distance and told the two that it was where his aunt lived. "Let's get off here, and if you get down, the car can get in, but it's hard to get out," said the young man, stopping the car and looking at a dilapidated house in front of the cedar grove, frowning, and it could be seen that he, like other ordinary peers, did not like the place where these ancestors lived. The young people of this generation are educated and have seen some of the world. The father's generation is better, and the generation of the ancestors is synonymous with ignorance in their eyes. They are dismissive of the inheritance of their ancestors. The boy didn't really understand why the child of his cousin, who lived in a big city and lived well, came to this backward place, but he didn't ask.

Opening the car door, Miss Du got out of the car and looked around slowly, her eyes wide open. She had always lived in the deep city, a place she had never seen before. There are all kinds of weeds growing on the hillside, and unlike Du Ruoyao's curiosity, Lin Junxuan liked it almost as soon as he got out of the car. I took a deep breath, and the air was filled with the fresh smell of grass and trees.

"Grandma's house ahead," the boy said, pointing ahead.

"Let's go," Lin Junxuan looked ahead and said, it was quiet here, and everything around made Lin Junxuan feel a strong sense of familiarity.

"Squeak!" Descending the road, at the turn, a yellow figure screamed and scurried in front of the three men. Du Ruoyao's eyes lit up and she quickly chased after her, but the small figure disappeared without a trace as soon as she scurried between the cedar trees.

"What kind of animal is that?" Du Ruoyao stopped a little unwillingly.

"That's supposed to be a weasel, have you ever seen Ruochen," Lin Junxuan asked.

"Ahh The little love in my heart disappeared without a trace all of a sudden.

The young man glanced at him in surprise, then nodded, "That's a weasel, who likes to steal chickens to eat." ”

Speaking of Li Ruochen, he talked about a strange thing: "It's strange to say, although I live in the county, I have only moved there in recent years. I've lived here with my grandmother for more than 10 years, and I've never seen a weasel before, let alone here, even in the nearby villages, I've never heard of this animal, but recently I suddenly came out of nowhere. The last time I came back, I heard that Uncle Lee's family had found a litter of weasel cubs in the woods. In addition to the weasel, there are some small animals that have never been seen before, which is really strange, and I don't know where to fight!"

Lin Junxuan's heart moved, and he asked rhetorically, "You have never seen it before?"

"Well," Li Ruochen nodded affirmatively: "I heard grandma say that before *, there were a lot of them here." In the past, there were many turtles in the paddy fields, and when the rice was harvested, many turtles could be caught every time, but at that time, people in the mountains did not eat turtles. In addition to tortoises, there are also roe deer, mole, and by the way, jackals. ”

"Jackal?" Du Ruoyao was startled.

"Well," Li Ruochen seemed to be a little excited, and gestured: "You don't know that jackal is particularly interesting, my mother has seen jackals." I heard my mother say that jackals can be as tall as a man if they pounce, and they like to steal chickens more than weasels. My mother said that in the past, people in the village raised chickens, and when they were raised, they carried them to the market to sell them. That jackal will smell it from a few mountains, and it will come running right away,"

"The most interesting thing is that the jackal didn't go hungry to eat chickens. Sometimes when it is full, it will also find an opportunity to pounce, bite the chicken to death, and take it away directly with its mouth. The jackal stole the chicken, and naturally someone will chase it. But in the blink of an eye, the chicken in the jackal's mouth was gone. ”

"Swallowed?" Du Ruoyao asked.

Of course not, the jackal dug a hole with his paws, buried the chicken, then covered it with dirt and flattened it again. You can't see it from the outside. The person who chased it saw that there was no chicken in the jackal's mouth, and that the jackal could call the jackal several miles away with a howl, so he stopped chasing it. When they were gone, after some time, the jackal was hungry, and he picked up the dirt and dug the chicken out of the ground to eat. But after all, people are smarter than animals, and the more times they come, they are also seen by others. When the villagers saw that the jackal was wandering, they would dig up the dead one and dig it up. ”

"Hehehe, these guys are so smart!" Du Ruoyao smiled.

"But the jackals are all gone now, but unfortunately I didn't see them," Li Ruochen said with a sigh.

At this moment, the three of them had reached the outside of a dilapidated house at the bottom of the slope, and the two gray bamboo doors at the door were open, and the room was a little dark.

"Grandma, I'm back!" Before entering the door, Li Ruochen shouted. After a while, a hoarse sound of the doorshaft turning came from inside, and an old man with gray hair and a kind face came out of the room. Her face was full of traces of time, but her spirit was very strong, and she walked with a vigor that old people of this age did not have.

"Ruochen is back?" The old man looked at his grandson with a smile, Li Ruochen strode forward, hugged his grandmother with a smile, then turned his head, pointed behind him and said, "Grandma, guess who came to see you!"

The old man actually saw Lin Junxuan and Du Ruoyao as soon as he came out of the house, and her eyes fell on Lin Junxuan at the beginning, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Are you...... , are you Xinyu's child?" said the old man with some uncertainty.

"Yes, I'm Junxuan, my aunt is good," Lin Junxuan's mother is Li Xinyu.

"Hehe, good boy," the old man stepped forward happily, touched Lin Junxuan's head, gestured, and said with a smile: "You used to come here, you were so big, and now you have grown so big." ...... Who's this little girl? Is that your girlfriend?"

"Hello Grandma!" Du Ruoyao on the side also called out obediently.

"Ah, good, all good. ...... Jun Xuan, this is your girlfriend, right? The old man laughed.

"No, this is my friend!" Lin Junxuan said.

Du Ruoyao's face turned red, but she didn't deny it. The old man on the side just watched and smiled.

"Come in and sit down. ”

Although the house is a little shabby, it is very clean and the things in the house are neatly organized. Entering the floor, the old man served tea and filled the teacups of all four people.
