Chapter 4: Knowledge!

Chirp-Xiaobai also brushed his presence on the top of Yang Xu's head. Initially, it jumped onto Yang Xu's shoulder. Later, the place was occupied by Blackie's big paws, so it had to go up a step.

Xiaobai is really a thief. I know that I will have to talk to these big elders in the future. The tiger had a good relationship, and he stretched out his little paw to touch Xiao Hei's head. But he was afraid of being bitten, stretched back and forth, contracted, and looked like a monkey. Still, Blackie was more generous. He stuck out his tongue and licked Xiaobai's paws, so Xiaobai pushed his nose in his face, jumped directly onto Xiaohei's back, and built a shed with his hands so that he could have farsightedness. But your little paw turns the direction upside down, don't you know?

In a group of big elders. Surrounded by tigers, Yang Xu walked towards the village. It feels good to be home. Even a bunch of stupid fox friends and tiger friends warmed his heart.

"Yang Xu, I think you should come back in the next two days. He is over 1.85 meters tall and has a strong sense of oppression.

He slapped Yang Xu's shoulder twice with his generous palm, making Yang Xu grin: "Lao Li, my little body can't stand your three slaps." "The visitor is Yang Xu's neighbor, his nickname is Li Dabiao, and his nickname is Lao Li. When he was in his prime, his ancestors were hunters, but now the wild animals in the mountains are gone, and the guns are disarmed, so he has to farm at home. Kill pigs.

This old Li is fantastic. He is a macho man who can stand with his fists and run with his arms. When killing a pig, a large pig of more than 300 catties will fall down and be carried to the board by one person. Yang Xu remembered that once, Lao Li made a bet with someone else and wrestled with a big bull and was stunned, which was true. He was definitely Yang Xu's idol when he was a child. What Yang Xu admired most when he was a child was that when Lao Li killed the pig, he opened the fat pig, took out the white flowers and hot oil inside, and directly cut off a piece and threw it into his mouth. In any case, Yang Xu also tried to eat a small piece later, but he vomited.

"It's good to come back, just stay at Lao Li's house for a few more days, and we'll have a good chat." Lao Li doesn't treat Yang Xu as an outsider. He had only a few dozen households in Grizzly Village, and when he used the pole, he had relatives.

"Lao Li, I don't plan to move again when I come back this time, I will come back to work with you!" Yang Xu thought all the way and finally figured it out. Maybe he was a little helpless at first when he planned to go home, but the call of duty made his faith more firm than ever.

Lao Li looked Yang Xu up and down with big eyes for a while, and then patted him on the shoulder. As a result, Yang Xu's waist just straightened up a little, and he collapsed: "Good boy, this is that person, go, go to Lao Li's house for dinner!" ”

Although his shoulder hurt a little, Yang Xu's heart was still very hot. He is very close to his family.

Lan Lan couldn't help but protest when she saw her uncle being hit on the shoulder. Lao Li looked down, and then he saw a woman. The bus slapped the bald head twice: "Yang Xu, this is your daughter, you have a woman outside?" How many times have I told you that the women in the city are unreliable, thin and tender, and they don't know anything. Their bodies are like sticks. Men are afraid of being crushed, why don't you listen? ”

This Lao Li is really brave. Hearing that Yang Xu had a fever on his face, he hurriedly told Old Li Lanlan the origin, for fear that he would say something ugly again.

"Good boy, responsible, it's almost as fast as Rutiha's boxing match in Kansai Town. Lao Li is really right about you. He's a man, we'll have a good drink. Lao Li admired Lu Zhishen in the Water Margin the most, so he was more impressed by Yang Xu, and his treatment was immediately improved from eating to drinking. However, Yang Xu didn't want to talk to him about the next generation. On the contrary, he waved his hand again and again: who knows how much wine Lao Li could drink, so he still went down to work after drinking three kilograms of stuffy donkeys. What do you mean by pouring a donkey? Nothing else. It's just 60 degrees, and all of it is alcohol.

When Li Dabiao shouted loudly, his voice could be heard by the whole village. So when Yang Xu entered the village, someone came out to say hello, and soon surrounded the number by twenty or thirty. It's not the farming season yet. Everyone is still in winter.

Most of them are elders. Yang Xu greeted them one by one: the secretary Li Wancai lit a cigarette bottle in his mouth, and his little eyes were aimed at Lan Lan; And Li Da, a barefoot doctor in the original village, understands that he is only a half-informed person. He wears a hat with an antenna on his head and a pair of glasses on his chest, one of which is bent with wire. When he saw Xiao Bai following Xiao Hei, he stepped forward to learn and said slowly: "This little white tiger is very strange, very rare, and it must be an alien species. ”

What eyes? From Xiaobai's eyes, Yang Xu could feel strong contempt. Lao Li's vision is keen. He didn't notice Xiaobai just now. Now he looked at it and nodded vigorously: "This animal is not ordinary. With my years of hunting experience, this Tibetan mastiff is a bit smart. ”

Everyone was amazed. Only Xiaobai is depressed and can be called an animal. After a while, Lao Li repeated what Yang Xu had just said, and everyone nodded. Although Yang Xu was a little miserable, no one hated him. Who would hate their own children?

"Yang Xu, you must be hungry when you come back from dozens of miles away. Let's go to your sister-in-law's house for dinner. An old hen did not lay eggs, so she simply killed and ate meat. A woman in her 20s squeezed into a group of elderly people and generously pulled Yang Xu's arm.

This made Lao Wang blush a little. This woman is the daughter-in-law of Xiao Zhang in the village. She was white and clean, especially her eyes. The thief caught the hook, but there were no children left after she passed through the doorway. Her maiden name is Bai, and she has a very foreign name called Milan, which does not match Xiao Zhang's name with a strong taste. However, a few years ago, Xiao Zhang went out to work, and he was said to behave like a tiger. Some say he raised a little girl outside. In any case, he hasn't been home for two or three years, and his daughter-in-law is basically the equivalent of a living widow.

The old secretary was a little tired of Milan's madness, so he slapped the sole of his cigarette bottle twice, and his eyelids drooped: "Daughter-in-law, Yang Xu, go to my house." ”

When the secretary spoke, Milan also had to let go painfully and went home somewhat reluctantly. Behind him, Li Da smiled clearly and said slowly: "The daughter-in-law of the second egg, your old hen also follows the root, and only eats and can't lay eggs-"

This leads to chatter. A half-year-old boy shouted: "Second sister-in-law, Brother Tian has just come back, and the house has not been cleaned up yet, so let's live in your hot kang." ”

Therefore, the young people follow the crowd, and the older ones laugh and watch the excitement. That's how it is in the countryside. The people of the village are not afraid to joke about meat and vegetables.

Milan looked back and cursed a few words, then went home with a red face.

In the end, Yang Xu was brought to his home by Lao Li, and the two main families were neighbors. Moreover, the population of Lao Li's family is very small. He and his wife have a child. In previous years, Yang Xu returned to the village and lived here.

When I entered the room, I felt very hot. There is already a table of eight immortals on the north kang. There is a large pot of stewed vermicelli with shredded tofu on top. There are also chunks of bacon in it. The aroma fills the room with the heat. Anyway, Xiaobai has been sniffing and smoothing his nostrils since he entered the room.

"Hurry up and get on the kang. It's hot. Look at this girl. Why is she wearing so little? "Aunt Cousin is a typical rural woman, with thick hands and feet, but she is a nice person and very helpful.

Lan Lan smiled at her. She could feel Aunt Biao's kindness. Although she didn't feel too cold, she was still obedient. The kang is a bit high. The little boy sitting on the kang pulled her. This is the only son of the old Li family, Little Tiger.

Sitting on the kang, I immediately felt the warmth under my buttocks, until my heart was warm. The hot kang in the countryside is too good. As long as the fire is hot, it is cold outside, but the kang is as warm as spring. This is really a wealth for the peasants.

When he arrived at Lao Li's house, Yang Xu took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang. As for the seat of the kang head, of course it is Lao Li's. When he walked into the room, he took off his coat. He wore only a torn vest on his upper body, revealing his bronze skin. He took two large bowls and poured some liquor: "My son, his mother, scramble a plate of eggs, and we'll have a good drink." ”

Needless to say, Aunt Biao has already started scrambling eggs. This season, hens can eat fresh eggs by simply opening their crotch. They are all free-range hens. The golden eggs are sprinkled with green onions. They have an appetite and smell better.

Yang Xu was really hungry. After giving Lan Lan half a bowl of rice, he covered it with a layer of eggs, and then he began to use chopsticks. As soon as I looked at a piece of meat, I saw a white light. It turned out that it was grabbed by Xiaobai's little paws. Lao Wang was a little dissatisfied: he set off quickly. Aren't all monkeys vegetarian?

"The Tibetan mastiff is on the table." Xiaohu pointed at Xiaobai and shouted that he couldn't even eat his favorite flower at the table, so he quickly complained to his father.

Lao Li patted his head: "This Tibetan mastiff is very spiritual and can eat at the table." ”

Little Tiger doesn't understand what spirituality is. His large flowers can catch mice. But soon he understood something, because the Tibetan mastiff was too hot, he grinned and threw the meat into the woman's bowl. Xiaohu's eyes immediately widened, and then he put the bowl in front of Xiaobai. However, Xiaobai unceremoniously pulled him aside, grabbed another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it.

"Good monkey!" Lao Li picked up the bowl and slid it halfway. He's a good hunter. He doesn't fail to see animals.

Xiaobai's performance also surprised Yang Xu, so she coughed twice in her throat and made some sounds. However, Xiaobai lowered his head and ate meat, ignoring him at all. In the end, Lan Lan gave the meat in the bowl to his uncle.

"Lan Lan eats more meat, and then grows more meat." The woman was too thin. She's skinny.

While drinking, Lao Li stared at this side with his eyes and said, "This Tibetan mastiff is not bad, this woman is not bad, and Yang Xu is not bad." ”--

After eating two pieces of meat and drinking some soup, Xiaobai was full. In fact, he couldn't eat much on his small belly. The main reason is that he has good digestion and is not hungry. When he was full, he looked at the few people at the table slyly. Then he put his little paw under the table and threw a piece of meat to the tiger lying on the floor. This guy, the monkey spirit, actually knows how to slap a tiger's ass.

After the meal, Yang Xu was really full and drank a little too much. He was dizzy and didn't even know how to sleep. Everyone gets drunk when they're not drunk. How could he not be intoxicated by the simple facts of the villagers?

Wow, wow--

Early in the morning, the rooster crowed, waking up the sleeping people and starting the day's work. The big in the countryside is such a baby. It has its own time reporting feature, which is no less than a few minutes away from the phone timer.

After having breakfast at Lao Li's house, Yang Xu prepared a few steamed buns and asked Aunt Biao for some incense candles and a bundle of yellow paper to prepare for the old man's grave. If you bring back a woman, you should also acknowledge her ancestry.

As soon as I went out, I came face to face with Milan and stuffed a plastic bag for Lao Wang. Inside is a warm old hen.

"It's been half a night." Milan smiled like a flower.

I really killed the old hen - the old king was a little confused, and thought to himself: I'm going to the grave, I liked it the most when I was alive, so I better respect him.

Walking on the familiar dirt road in the village, Xiao Hei distracted the joy in front of him, which angered the big flower chicken, who led a group of hens to eat on the side of the road, to make a warning cry, reminding his concubine to be wary of Xiao Hei as a bully.

Xiaobai also uses the power of the tiger to show his teeth to scare the chickens. The big rooster was not used to it, he blew off the feathers on his neck and rushed towards the Tibetan mastiff. If it weren't for Xiaobai's cleverness, jumping on Xiaohei's back would definitely be pecked.

Lao Wang took Lan Lan's little hand and watched happily. After a few years of wandering in the city, he preferred the tranquility of the countryside. The old cow was munching leisurely, the old sow was twisting her fat buttocks, and the flocks of sparrows pecked at each other, looking so calm.

His only regret is that after so many years, most of the houses in the village are still the same, only a few have been built brick houses, and the rest are still adobe houses and thatched roofs, showing the poor and backward appearance of the village.

Yang Xu also knew the reason. In the past, Garda in Grizzly Bear Tun had mountains, trees, water and grass. Unfortunately, in order to support the construction of the country, all the old forests on the mountain have been cut down and are now completely barren mountains, and the meadows below the mountains have also been destroyed by overgrazing. There is almost no arable land in the village, so it's nice to be filled. If you want to get rich, you can only dream.

So many young people go out to work, and most of them, like Xiao Zhang, will not return to this poor corner. Nicely, Grizzly Village used to have 110 households, and now it has half of them, most of them are elderly and infirm women and children. This is really the only scorpion cake that has come back from Lao Wang so far away.

With some emotion, the group left the village. In front are rolling mountains that stretch to the northeast. When Yang Xu was a child, this was his paradise. All kinds of wild fruits in the old forests in the mountainous areas, such as dice, red fruits, persimmons and grapes, are open for consumption in autumn; There are also various wild mushrooms, monkey's head, black fungus, ganoderma lucidum, etc., which are gifts from the mountains to people; Not to mention the birds and animals in the mountains

However, what was once a lush primeval forest is now bare. The forests are gone, the mountains are ruined. All the past can only remain in memory.

The more I walk, the more reluctant Yang Xu becomes: When will the green mountains and green waters be returned!

Unlike Lao Wang's anger, Xiaobai was in high spirits at the moment. After escaping from the chains, this guy's mischievous nature will undoubtedly be revealed, and he will not be safe for a moment.

"Stop!" Lao Wang shouted, Xiao Bai looked down for two minutes, and then everything was the same. In front of him was a secondary forest. The guy swished a few times and climbed up a birch tree.

On the contrary, Daqing seems to be more stable. She happily ran to the birch tree, raised her hind legs to pee, and circled her territory.

The blind little white is also like a fool. He ran down from the tree and urinated under the roots. This made Yang Xu cry and laugh: Are you a monkey, or do you want to learn from others to occupy the territory? Is it because there are no tigers in the mountains, and you Tibetan mastiff want to be kings?

However, looking at this secondary forest, which is only a dozen years old, Lao Wang is still in a good mood: if he preserves it for 180 years, he may be able to restore it to its original forest.

For more than a hundred years, daylily would be cold at that time!

"Uncle-uncle." Lao Wang felt that Lan Lan was pulling her pants, so he looked down the woman's finger and saw Lan Lan pointing to the birch tree. The women could not say anything else, but they could barely hear their uncle's voice.

Lao Wang explained to her: "Lanlan, this kind of tree is called a birch tree. You can see that the bark is white and slippery and can be peeled off layer by layer. When my uncle was young, your grandfather also made this into a small book, and my uncle wrote on it with a pencil. ”

But the tree is getting thicker and thicker—Lan Lan is not the same as Lao Wang. I just can't express my pain. My uncle is still a rough line. So he went up and patted the tree, saying that he could hold on to the trunk with open arms.

Yang Xu also understood, rubbed his eyes, and felt that this birch tree looked really thick, at least a circle thicker than the surrounding trees, and the other trees had just sprouted, but the trees had already bloomed, and the fluffy catkins had fallen.

Strange, I didn't pay attention just now. Does the tree absorb more sunlight? Lao Wang was also a little confused. He just stopped studying, it was important to go to the grave first.

Walking along the edge of the forest, Blackie lifted his legs and circled over the land. Tigers and tigers are always happy about it. But you, a Tibetan mastiff, do the same. What do you want to do?

Lao Wang didn't notice this, but Lan Lan, who was being held by his little hand, her big eyes became brighter and brighter, because she discovered a little secret: all the trees that had been urinated by Xiao Bai were getting thicker and thicker. But my uncle was so careless that he couldn't even find it--

After walking five or six miles, a cemetery appeared on the hillside in front of us. It was spring, and grass grew on the grave. Looking at it, it is not gloomy, but full of energy.

After finding the old man's grave, Lao Wang put the sacrifice away, lit three incense sticks and put them on the ground, and then pulled Lan Lan to kneel in front of the grave.
