The sun began to set in the west, and in the face of the sun and the mountain wind, the head sheep led the sheep to "bleating" and ran towards the village.

Two horses jogged behind the sheep, and the shepherds occasionally gave them two rebukes to guide the flock.

Lu Ning and Jiang Yan stood on the side of the road counting sheep and playing, this was the first time the two of them had seen so many real sheep.

The last time Lu Ning saw a real sheep was on the table on the winter solstice last year. To be exact, the last time I saw it was lamb.

Lu Ning regretted that she didn't bring a camera out of the house, and she decided that when she saved the money, she must buy a camera first. These are meaningful memories that have to be recorded.

"Phew~"

As soon as they had finished counting the sheep, a horse stopped in front of them.

Lu Ning looked up and found that it was Uncle Qu Bi Ahuo.

She waved her hand happily and said, "Uncle Huo, good afternoon, are you herding sheep today?" ”

She also learned that Qubi Ahuo and the Da Bimo family had the same surname, and they came from different branches of the same clan.

And the inheritance of Bimo is the big Bimo and their family.

Seeing that she was so enthusiastic, Qu Bia Huo grinned and said, "Teacher Lu, Teacher Jiang, are playing here." Ming'er is the day of the market, do you want to go down the mountain, if you want, you can follow us all the way. ”

The road from the village to the town and to the county is long, and except for special circumstances, every month on the first and fifteenth day of the new year, a horse-drawn carriage will be driven to the town or county.

The people in the village want to sell artichokes, round roots or something, and they also go to the center in the past two days and come back after selling.

The town is closer than the county, but somehow, there have always been people who have lowered prices in the last two months.

Knowing that they came down from Cliff Village, they would definitely go back when they sold out. As a result, the price was constantly lowered, even to one-third of the previous one.

The first two times when everyone encountered this kind of thing for the first time, they could only sell it to them when they came back in the afternoon. After all, the back of the mountain and the mountain is a great burden.

Therefore, since last month, the big guys have decided to go to the county to sell, but this situation has not been encountered again.

Before Lu Ning could speak, Jiang Yan took over and said, "Uncle Ah Huo, who is going, we will come to you tomorrow morning, it's troublesome." ”

"Ouch, what's not troublesome, it's just a trip." Qu Bia Huo waved his hand and said, "Then I'll see you tomorrow in the old place, you have to prepare the things you want to bring, and you have to climb the cliff." ”

After saying that, he "drove" and rode his horse to drive the sheep away.

"Humph!" Lu Ning glared at Jiang Yan angrily, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

She only climbed up yesterday and wanted to stay a little longer. Why did it take so long to decide to go down the mountain tomorrow.

Moreover, in the morning, she obviously said that her leg hurts, and the sequelae are serious, so she needs to rest more.

Lu Ning walked in front angrily, Jiang Yan followed behind her, and every time she wanted to pull her hand, she was thrown away.

had no choice but to follow her.

When he arrived at school, he said, "Lemon, I'll boil a kettle of water to soak your feet in the evening." Apply a little more safflower oil, and your legs won't hurt tomorrow. Tomorrow if it hurts too much to leave, then we won't go. However, the next time you may have to wait for half a month. The village goes down the mountain every month on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and this week because I have already run two more times, no matter how much I run, it is not impossible, I pay for the carriage and horses. ”

It's just that they probably won't charge this fare.

I picked him up once in front of him, and Lu Ning went back and forth again. These two times are already a month's worth of travel, because his personal affairs always trouble them, which is not good.

After a long time, when he has a holiday or the end of his teaching, he will have time to stay with Lu Ning.

Hearing this explanation, Lu Ning's heart felt a lot better, but there was still no change on her face.

She stopped, looked back at Jiang Yan and said, "Then why don't you tell me first, we have to discuss it in advance." ”

He hit her by surprise like this, it came too steeply, and he was not prepared at all.

"I was wrong." Jiang Yan admitted his mistake without hesitation, "I originally wanted to tell you later, but I didn't happen to meet Uncle Ah Huo." ”

Selfishly, he didn't want Lu Ning to go, but he couldn't. Lu Ning doesn't belong here, she has a wider world waiting for her.

Lu Ning also understands these truths, but she just doesn't want to go.

She turned around and hugged Jiang Yan tightly, and said in a muffled voice: "Ah Yan, I don't want to leave, I want to be with you all the time." Either I'll stay and teach with you, and then I'll go down to the mountain and find another job after two years. ”

Anyway, she can't earn the bride price of 100,000 yuan for a while. Then you should think differently and have fun in time.

"No, you can't stay here." Sensing her dangerous thoughts, Jiang Yan immediately sternly refused, "Ningning, you are with me, Auntie already has a lot of opinions." If you stay here for me to teach again, I'm afraid she'll never agree to let us be together. ”

If it were his daughter, he would be 10,000 unhappy.

"Hmph~" Lu Ning hugged Jiang Yan tightly and snorted dissatisfiedly.

Indeed, if she really stayed here, then she and Jiang Yan might really be finished.

……

In the middle of summer, the dawn is unusually early. It was only six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was already dark. By seven o'clock, the sky was already bright, and there were even faint signs of sunrise.

Lu Ning followed Jiang Yan to the intersection of the cliff, and in addition to Qu Bi Ahuo and Ji Wu Aniu, there were already four villagers with backpacks waiting at the intersection.

As soon as the two arrived, after greeting each other, the four people carrying the basket on their backs began to go to the cliff road, lining up next to each other to go down the cliff.

And Qubi Ahuo and Jiwu Aniu asked Lu Ning and Jiang Yan to tie ropes around their waists as they had done when they went up the mountain before, and then escorted the two of them down the cliff one after the other.

The cliff is still the same cliff, and the cliff road is still the same cliff road. Even the mountain eagle hovering in mid-air, Lu Ning felt very kind.

Nothing has changed, but it seems that everything has changed.

It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, but Lu Ning feels that going down the cliff this time is much easier and faster than going up the cliff that day.

She was a little dizzy and didn't pay much attention to how much time it took. But when she first set foot on the ground, she just happened to see the sunrise.

Sunrise is a symbol of new life, hope, and the dream of Lu Ning and Jiang Yan.

Because of seeing the sunrise, Lu Ning's sorrow of separation was alleviated a lot.

There were four large baskets side by side in the middle of the not big carriage, Qu Bi Ahuo and Ji Wu A Niu were still sitting at the head of the carriage, and Lu Ning and Jiang Yan were sitting on both sides of the carriage with the other four fellow villagers.

This time there were many people, and the carriage did not gallop, but walked slowly down the mountain. It made Lu Ning breathe a sigh of relief, and he had more leisure to appreciate this secret realm in the deep mountains.
