Chapter 6 Grandma
The home in the town can only be regarded as a new home, and the real home is in the mountains.
Chengxin didn't know why the ancestor moved to this old mountain, maybe to escape the war.
As for when, I don't know, anyway, it was a long, long time ago, and as for the approximate time, it was all forgotten in history.
Some people of the older generation say Tang, and some people say Song, maybe it's about this time.
Pulling away, back to the topic, Chengxin began to walk forward with his bag and things.
Skirting a small hill, there is a big hill in front of you that enters the village.
No, this can't be said to be a mountain, but a mountain range, derived in both directions, and it is not known how long.
Directly opposite is a steep mountain, not 80 degrees but 60 or 70 degrees, about seventy or eighty meters high, and then there is a slope.
The overall height is not known to Chengxin, but it is about three or four hundred meters high.
On the steep section of the mountain below, there is a staircase that has been dug out by hand.
It was also two meters wide, and the zigzag line headed up the mountain, but it disappeared halfway up the mountain, blocked by trees.
There is also a village at the foot of this hill, not too big, and the family closest to this side of the trail has a shed next to it.
This was only after the opening of this village, and the purpose was to let the people who came out of the mountain village have a place to tie their horses.
After all, the foot of this mountain is still about ten kilometers away from the town, and it is relatively faster to tie the horse here and then go to the car.
You have to watch the horses all the time when you bring them to town, and you can't go too far, right?
If you plan to stay at a relative's house for two days, what about the horse?
So put it here, spend some money, and someone else will feed you horses.
Before there was a shed, a group of people came out together, and if someone didn't go back, the horses were handed over to the people of the village to take back.
With this shed, it doesn't have to be so troublesome.
While climbing, Chengxin admired those predecessors.
How difficult it was to dig such a road on such a mountain, and at that time there was no equipment or anything, so it was all up to manpower to dig it out little by little.
Enjoying the scenery on both sides, walking for a while and resting for a while, after an hour, Chengxin reached the top of the mountain.
Looking at the scenery under the mountain, Chengxin took out his mobile phone and took a few photos.
In fact, Chengxin is not the top of the mountain, there are some small peaks around, that is the top of the mountain.
On this hill is a small path, turning left and right, there are also uphill and downhill.
There were no people around, but they used to be, and they all moved out.
After walking for almost an hour, Chengxin came to the other side of the mountain, and then began to descend the mountain.
Don't think you're going down the mountain, it took more than two and three hours to get down the mountain.
Then, after walking a few hundred meters in a straight line at the foot of the mountain, it began to climb the second mountain range.
Yes, number two, don't think you've climbed a mountain and you're there, it's still early.
Chengxin walked relatively slowly, and at noon, Chengxin finally came down from the second mountain range.
Counting from the first mountain range, Chengxin spent a total of five hours, which is not easy.
However, this has not yet arrived, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk before Chengxin can see his hometown.
Otherwise, you think it's been 10 years, why don't you open to traffic?
Outside, not to mention that every village is connected, at least every village has a road, whether it is cement or asphalt.
Let's not talk about anything else, this road can't be built, only tunnels, a total of two mountains, at least you have to build two tunnels, right?
Tunnels are not road repairs, and road construction does not cost much for a kilometer.
Two tunnels, and then add a section of road, let's talk about tunnels first, these two mountains, not to mention double tunnels, at least one must be built, right?
The first mountain range is at least three kilometers in diameter, the second is a little shorter, but it is also more than two kilometers.
Five or six kilometers of tunnels, there are not hundreds of millions, do you want to build this tunnel? Wash and sleep.
Are the old men in the town stupid, or are there too much money to use? Spending so much money just to give access to a village of a few hundred people? There are no mines in this mountain?
So, there is no traffic here in my hometown, and even the wires were connected in the 90s with gritted teeth, otherwise there would be no electricity.
However, this also has the advantage of two mountains being cut off from the outside, leaving a pure land here.
"Whew~ I'm so tired, Chengxin sighed while drinking water.
There are so many mountain roads that ordinary people can't stand it.
Don't look at Chengxin There are no big problems now, maybe when you get up tomorrow, your legs will definitely hurt.
After walking for several minutes from going down the mountain, passing by the vegetable field in the village, Chengxin finally arrived at the door of his grandmother's house.
The whole house is made of stone and lime, and the front and left sides are two-storey, which are used by people.
Only the right side is a floor, mainly the kitchen and the livestock pen, surrounded by a C-shaped row, and there are more rooms.
Dad has a total of 5 brothers, a family of seven, the place is not big, there is a pigsty, and chickens, cows, horses, and whatever.
didn't wait for Chengxin to stand for long, a watery sound came, Chengxin came back to his senses, and a big yellow dog was barking at Chengxin.
It's just that he stopped after calling for a while, tilted his head and looked at Chengxin, as if thinking, hey, why is this person a little familiar?
"Ah Huang, what's your name?
An old man's voice was heard.
In this mountain village, they are basically acquaintances, and the earth dogs don't bark much.
Only when you meet a stranger, or an animal on the mountain descending the mountain, will you keep calling.
Then, Chengxin saw his grandfather come out of the house.
"Hey, young man, who are you looking for? Which one?
The old man looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember which young man asked.
!!! It seems that I haven't come back in the past few years, and my family is almost gone.
"Master, I, Chengxin, I'm back to see you," Chengxin said quickly, and then walked in.
?? Chengxin? You are Chengxin, you, you kid, are back! The old man looked at Cheng Xin excitedly and said.
"Well, I'm back, I'm back to see you, where's the milk?"
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, only you haven't been here in the past few years, your grandma misses you a lot, your grandma is cooking, take a walk, just have lunch, the old man said happily.
Then he turned in the direction of the kitchen
"Old woman, old woman, look who's back.
The old man said as he walked, Cheng Xin also followed behind with a smile, and the yellow dog sniffed around Cheng Xin, and then followed suit.
"Who? Who's back?
Grandma's voice came from the kitchen, and then an old man with gray hair came out.
"Milk, I'm Chengxin, I'm back to see you, Chengxin said.
"Chengxin? Ouch, you damn tire, do you know you're back? Do you know how to come back and see us? Grandma said with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, didn't you come back to see you, you cried a hammer, Chengxin just arrived, can you let him in and put things down? The old man said.
"Well, yes, yes, go in and put something.
If you're hungry, the food will be ready immediately, I'll go get it.
After saying that, Grandma wiped her tears with her hands and went to the kitchen.
Cheng Xin and the old man entered the hall, put all the things in their hands and on their backs on a free wooden table, and then went to the kitchen.
Helping the milk bring all the dishes to the table, the three of them ate it.
"Chengxin, I don't know if you're coming, so I don't have any meat, just two dishes, wait for the evening, and the milk will stew you duck soup at night.
The older generation is good to their grandchildren, and they will be ready to eat when they come back, for fear that they will not eat well when they return to their hometown.
"Oh, good, milk, how many years? It's been a long time since I've drunk your stewed sour radish and duck soup, and I've thought about it for a long time," Cheng Xin asked with a smile.
"Eight years, and 3 eight-year-olds, I haven't been willing to eat, and when I finish eating, I will ask your master to kill you and stew it, and it's almost the same night."
Chengxin They like to drink duck soup here, some people say that this old duck is not delicious, the meat is so old, and there is no nutrition.
Think about it, if you are so old, you may have osteoporosis, what other nutrients do you have?
Scientifically, that's fine, but well.
This old duck soup, the older the duck, the more fragrant and delicious the stew.
You don't need to put anything, just a big antimony pot, a duck, pat some old ginger, put some salt, and then a large pot of water to simmer for half a day, and you may have to add some halfway.
Moreover, this is still a medicine introduction, some people outside buy it, and there are hundreds of them for four or five years, but basically no one sells them.
