Chapter 70 Poverty is like water, enthusiasm is like fire
I don't have a map, I don't have a compass, and I don't know if the previous set of methods for identifying the direction of the earth can be used here, the only thing I can do is to follow the direction of the sun, go to the top first, and see if I can see some villages or something.
Relying on the No. 11 bus, the two have climbed over the mountains, not to mention the village, not even a trace of the mountain road has not been seen, the weeds of Qi people are high and constantly wear out the patience of the two, the two have walked for dozens of hours, if it is not for the physique, I am afraid that they would have died of exhaustion in the middle of the road, but fortunately, this world is much better than the previous life, what pollution is basically not, even the air is fresh like oxygen, and occasionally eating some mountain springs and weeds will not be poisoned.
"No, no, I want to rest, if I continue like this, I won't die at the hands of others, but I'm going to die halfway through." Xuan Tiancheng sat on the ground with a very unimpressive ass, no matter how Zhang Qi called, he just couldn't get up.
Zhang Qi is better than Xuan Tiancheng, after all, his patience has improved to the extreme after more than ten years of begging in his previous life, even if he walks for a few more hours, he will not be tired like this.
"In this way, we will walk for another two hours, and if we can't see the village again, we will rest in place." Looking at the weeds that could not be seen at a glance, Zhang Qi could only say this.
"Seventh brother, you've said this kind of thing dozens of times, I don't believe it, now it's dark outside, and I have to walk for another two hours, I have to go crippled." Xuan Tiancheng pursed his mouth and stood up.
"Let's go, let's go, it's just two hours, it's the last time to lie to you or not, otherwise you'll stay here alone." Zhang Qi now knows that this guy is completely two people in his bones and appearance, and the gentleman who looks sunny and handsome is actually a scoundrel, and he really can't do anything about him, so he has to take care of himself and walk first.
"Okay, let's do it, it's just two hours, and I won't leave a single step more." Xuan Tiancheng saw that Zhang Qi really wanted to leave, and there was no choice but to compromise, saying that such a compromise had been made more than ten times along the way.
"Huh! There is a fire in front. Zhang Qi exclaimed in surprise.
"Seventh brother, don't fool me, this trick has been used ten times by your old man." Xuan Tiancheng replied with a helpless face.
"If you like to go or not, I'll go first." Zhang Qier didn't say much, and quickly turned his legs and ran.
Xuan Tiancheng looked at this appearance, as if there was really someone in front of him, if Zhang Qizhen ran away, he would really be alone on the barren mountain, so he quickly turned his legs to follow.
"There's a fire up ahead. Ha ha. ”
Xuan Tiancheng looked at it, and it was really true. I was so happy that I finally saw the village.
Immediately one scene after another came to mind—chicken legs, red wine, steak, bread, Simmons...... No, no, I'm going to drool if I think about it any longer, I can't do this for such a gentleman.
Wow, run.
All of a sudden, all the fatigue was driven away, looking at this running speed, there is like a passerby who has walked for more than ten hours, and it is simply the champion of the 50-meter sprint.
"You knock on the door." Zhang Qi pointed at Xuan Tiancheng and said to a family with a lamp.
As far as image is concerned, knocking on the door is really Xuan Tiancheng's strength, and with his external image, I am afraid it will be difficult to find traces of bad people in him. But inside, huh. Zhang Qi knew that this guy was black enough.
"Tuk-tuk." Xuan Tiancheng knocked lightly on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and out came a man dressed in animal skin, 180 tall, sturdy, rough and powerful, with a very capable image, but a kind face.
"Who are you looking for?" The man asked with a laugh, but there was curiosity on his face.
"Oh, sir, it's like this, my two brothers and I came from a foreign country, and it was getting dark here, and we wanted to spend the night with you. Don't know if it's inconvenient? Xuan Tiancheng unfolded his charming smile, a harmless sunny expression.
"Oh, I see, it's okay, it's okay, come in and sit." The big man said very boldly.
He shouted as he opened the door to let the two in. "Ah Fen, I'm here, make a few dishes to entertain."
Originally, I was thinking about whether to ask others to take care of their five internal organs temple, but this time I swallowed back the words that Xuan Tiancheng had prepared, it seems that this place is completely different from the previous world, and it is said that people did not call the police before, even if it is very face-saving, let alone entertaining strangers to come in for dinner.
The folk customs here are as pure as the air here, which makes Zhang Qi and them feel very comfortable.
It seems that the residents here are not only warm but also very hospitable, yes, the local folk customs are very simple, for Zhang Qi, this is a typical paradise, for has been living in a world that exudes copper smell, the environment here makes Zhang Qi's soul feel inexplicably relaxed.
Zhang Qi and the two politely leaned over and entered the house to see, this is a standard Orion family, there are various animal skins hanging on the wall, as well as a few pairs of bows and arrows, and the furnishings at home are also very simple, just a table and a few Dengzi, and some daily things, almost without any decoration, which shows that it is a poor family.
"Sit sit, sit sit." Dahan casually moved a long board and asked the two to sit down.
"Hehe, thank you, uncle." Zhang Qi hurriedly returned the salute.
"Thanks for what? Everyone has times when they are in trouble, it's okay, you, just treat it as if this is your own home, don't be polite, we rarely see outsiders here. The man warmly entertained them, while pouring tea for Zhang Qi and them.
Informal, hospitable, bold and generous, this is the first impression of the big man to Zhang Qi, one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, the big man in front of him is so, and the other villagers are not much different from each other, a warm tide enters the heart, what a simple human sophistication, how good and honest people, this is really incompatible with the cruelty and blood of this world.
The two of them were not polite, their already thirsty throats were about to smoke, and they didn't care whether it was hot or cold, they just drank the tea and cow.
"Uncle, may I ask what you call me, my name is Zhang Qi, and this is my brother Xuan Tiancheng."
Ask people to tell themselves first, this kind of good morality and rich life experience make Zhang Qi pay attention to the interpersonal relationships in front of him.
"My name is Shang Ding, and the one who is cooking inside is my insider, just call Ah Fen." The big man spread his big hands and replied very simply, "Also, look at the appearance of the two little brothers, I can't grow up to you a few years old, don't be an uncle who is too big and short, it's too outward, just call me Ah Ding!" ”
The two did not shirk, and after talking, they became more familiar with each other.
After a while, a woman came out of it, about twenty years old, with a slightly dark complexion, although her appearance was not beautiful, but she was neat and neat, and her body was tight, but she also had a ladylike demeanor.
Zhang Qi hurriedly got up and saluted: "Sister-in-law Fen, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
"There, we're here, and we don't usually have any guests here. Now that you're here, that's fate, you must not have eaten at such a night, you sit down, I'll get you something to eat. "This Ah Fen also has the same personality as Shang Ding, generous and decent.
"Then we're welcome. Thank you, Sister-in-law. Seeing this, Xuan Tiancheng hurriedly accosted a word in the back.
Ah Fen smiled and entered the back room, and Zhang Qi and Xuan Tiancheng chatted with Shang Ding. This topic is nothing more than the situation along the way, and Shang Ding was also very emotional when he heard it, and the atmosphere slowly became harmonious.
After a while, Ah Fen came out of the back room, holding a large plate of food in his hand.
A roast rabbit, a large plate of wild boar, and a plate of unnamed meat, but it looks pretty good, and two wild vegetables.
In the process of chatting just now, Zhang Qi learned that this kind of food could not be eaten once a year for their family, and being so generous to these two strangers really moved Zhang Qi and their hearts.
"Eat, eat, let's talk, talk when you're full." Ah Fen rubbed the stains on his clothes and said to the two with a smile.
People who eat politely when they are hungry, this is definitely a fool, Zhang Qi is certainly not a fool, so he started immediately, and he was very active, he didn't care about taking the tableware, he grabbed it directly, Xuan Tiancheng was a gentleman, only gently clamped with chopsticks, and chewed carefully.
After devouring it, within ten minutes, the table was almost wiped out, the two of them were happy to eat, Shang Ding was also happy to see it, and everyone felt the warmth of home together.
As soon as he put it down here, Ah Fen came out to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and brought a jar of wine to the two of them before leaving.
"Come, full." Shang Ding grabbed the wine jar and poured it up, regardless of whether the other party would drink it or not, a standard bold man.
Zhang Qi likes this straightforward personality the most, he does it directly without saying a word, the liquor enters his throat, and the feeling of burning extends from his mouth to his stomach, Zhang Qi likes this feeling very much.
Xuan Tiancheng has a lot of demeanor, drinking white wine and pretending to be like drinking red wine, there is a sip without a sip, it seems that this guy is not bragging, he was really a rich second generation or a gentleman or something like that before.
There is a little bit of sourness in the spicy, and a trace of bitterness, from the mouth to the throat and then straight into the stomach, the wine is over, like the magma poured down by a volcano, all the way is filled with fire-like red heat, very strong, but after a while, this heat becomes very warm, like the cold winter sun, the pores of the comfortable whole body are bursting open, and the sour bitterness just now is sweet at the base of the tongue, Zhang Qi can't help but let out a comfortable moan.
What a strange wine.
Zhang Qi couldn't help but get up and ask.
Shang Ding smiled proudly: "This is a unique wine in our town, and it has no other name, it is called Wanyue Wine, you really can't drink this kind of wine anywhere else!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the tone suddenly became a little lonely, and he sighed and said: "The two of you don't know, we are poor in Wanyue Town, where there are conditions to use grain to make wine, but everyone in our town is good at wine, in order to solve this problem, there is an old winemaker in the town who inadvertently used some wild grasses and wild fruits in the mountains to make a wine, and then after continuous improvement, this is the current Wanyue wine, these weeds and wild fruits only grow in our poor place, hehe!" ”
After the words, the bitter laughter and chatter are self-comforting!
When Zhang Qi heard this, he unconsciously fell into deep thought, his eyes gradually condensed, and a plan in his heart slowly took shape.
