Chapter 51: Emigration
After Zhang Shaofei and Wang Shaoxiang lived in Liang Futian's house for more than ten days, Wang Shaoxiang came to the small room where Zhang Shaofei lived and said, "Fei'er, there are so many people in Uncle Futian's family, if we live here for too long, it will be too troublesome." ”
Zhang Shaofei nodded: "I also have this idea." I heard Uncle Fu Tian tell me that he had a small grass hut in the Shimen Tea Farm in the mountain col, so why didn't we move there? ”
Wang Shaoxiang: "Okay." ”
After lunch, Zhang Shaofei told Liang Futian his thoughts.
"You want to move out?" Liang Futian raised his bamboo pipe, inhaled vigorously, and thought for a while, "Ah Fei, since you brought it up, then I'll take you there now." ”
Zhang Shaofei and Wang Shaoxiang, under the leadership of Liang Futian, walked from Liangtianzhai to the mountain col, the rugged path was twisted and twisted, and the dense trees were mixed and grown, and the vines were entwined on it. In the roadside stream, fish chase freely on pebbles of different sizes.
After walking for about a cup of tea, Zhang Shaofei and Wang Shaoxiang suddenly felt that their eyes lit up: there was a natural stone wall standing symmetrically on each side of the path.
Zhang Shaofei shouted: "It's so majestic! ”
This stone wall is as if it was cut out by the heavenly prince with a giant axe. The stone wall is more than ten zhang high, three zhang wide, and several small miscellaneous trees and yellow wildflowers grow in the cracks in the stone wall.
There is a wide bar of stone across the ground between the two stone walls, which is truly a creation of nature.
Zhang Shaofei looked at it for a while and said, "The stone walls on both sides are like a door!" ”
Wang Shaoxiang pointed to the stone bar on the ground and said, "The stone walls on both sides really look like a door. Also, if you look at the stone on the ground, it looks like a threshold. ”
Liang Futianyang pointed to the upright stone walls on both sides: "Ah Fei, aunt, you are right. We mountain people call this place Shimen. ”
Wang Shaoxiang: "This is too realistic. ”
Crossing the stone gate and going inside, the shrubs on both sides became more dense, but there was a different scene: the hillside had become slightly flat, and rows of green tea trees were planted on it.
There is also a grass hut next to the tea field, the walls are made of bamboo and wood, thatched, and then pasted with mud, and the roof is made of cedar bark. The mud on the walls and the cedar bark on the roof have turned dark brown due to the wind and rain.
A small stream more than a foot wide flows next to the grass hut, and the stream is murmuring, clear and recognizable.
Liang Futian pointed: "These tea trees are planted by my family, and what you drink in my house is the tea produced here." ”
Zhang Shaofei felt and said: "The fog on the mountain is sealed by clouds, as if it has been moistened by the nectar of the sky, no one has set foot here, it is not stained with dust, no wonder those tea leaves taste so pure and fragrant." ”
Wang Shaoxiang accosted: "With such good water and soil, of course it will be delicious to grow such a tea sample." ”
Liang Futian took Zhang Shaofei's mother and son to the front of the grass shed, and gently pushed open the door of the grass shed, the place inside is also relatively spacious, and there is a small kitchen next to it, with pots, bowls and chopsticks and other things: "This grass shed was built by me a few years ago, and we rested here when we were tired from working in the tea field." ”
The hut was built deep in the col, and the occasional call of partridges made the already silent col even more tranquil.
Liang Futian: "In this place, no outsiders come in on weekdays. Ah Fei, now is the most suitable time for you to take refuge and retreat. ”
Zhang Shaofei high-fived and exclaimed, "This place is so good! That's great! ”
Liang Futian took Zhang Shaofei and Wang Shaoxiang to the back of the grass shed, the vegetable fields were not large, and the area was about one point.
Wang Shaoxiang: "There is clear flowing water next to the house, and there is a vegetable field behind the house, which is indeed a good place." ”
"The water of the stream here is very sweet, and it can be used directly for drinking," Liang Futian said, pointing to the stream, "and there is firewood everywhere in this col, so you can make a fire and cook rice." I'll bring you some rice, oil, and salt in the afternoon. ”
Zhang Shaofei: "Uncle Futian, you think really thoughtfully. ”
Wang Shaoxiang: "Fei'er, we met a noble person when we entered Yunwu Mountain this time. ”
"Noble?" Liang Futian was nodded by Wang Shaoxiang's words and said, "If I hadn't met you two nobles that day, I would have died in the barren grass at the foot of the mountain." ”
"It's your destiny." Zhang Shaofei said, looked up at the mountain, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Yo, I see that the shape of the mountain above looks very much like a tiger." ”
"Haha! Ah Fei, your vision is so sharp. This mountain is called Lao Luoding, also called Baihu Mountain. Liang Futian laughed, stretched out his finger and pointed, "You see, the shape of the mountain is like a tiger's head here, and the body and tail of a tiger are like a tiger coming down the mountain." ”
After Zhang Shaofei looked at it, he said: "The shape of this mountain does look like a tiger coming down the mountain."
Liang Futian continued: "Plus the rocks of this mountain are grayish-white, so we call this mountain Baihu Mountain. ”
"White Tiger Mountain?" Wang Shaoxiang pointed to the depths of the mountain col and said to Liang Futian, "Listening to you say this, the more I look at this mountain, the more it looks like a white tiger." ”
"The place where the stream on the right leads is called Chaxi Valley, and the place where the stream on the left leads to the depths of the col is called the Tiger Pit." Liang Futian pointed to the two paths in the mountain stream and said.
Wang Shaoxiang: "Tiger pit? Could it be that there is a tiger hidden in that col? ”
Liang Futian: "There are indeed tigers hidden in the tiger pit, so we rarely go inside. ”
Wang Shaoxiang's face suddenly changed: "Ah, there is really a tiger hidden in it?" ”
Liang Futian raised his hand and pressed it down: "However, you can rest assured." Over the years, the tiger has searched the mountains for what it should eat, but it has never bitten a human, let alone eaten a human. ”
Wang Shaoxiang's fear did not fade: "No, the tigers in this mountain have not eaten people?"
Zhang Shaofei said: "There is a saying that people are afraid of tigers for three points, and tigers are afraid of people for seven points." ”
Liang Futian expressed his opinion: "If you don't provoke the tiger, it won't attack you." We never provoke it either, so I don't have any scruples about taking a tea break here. ”
Wang Shaoxiang was puzzled: "The tiger is not a bodhisattva of great compassion, it always eats if it wants to live." ”
Liang Futian's face showed a look of disgust: "The cattle, sheep and livestock on the mountain and down the mountain were bitten to death and dragged away a lot by it. ”
Wang Shaoxiang: "The tiger bit the cattle, sheep and livestock, and the villagers must hate it to death." ”
Liang Futian spit out the sullen breath in his heart: "Yes, we mountain people saw the tiger from a distance when we were hunting, and we didn't dare to rush to hunt it, so we had to install a trap in the grass. That tiger elf is very good, we have tried many ways, but we always pretend that it can't be found, and we are really helpless about it. ”
Zhang Shaofei's eyes were fixed, thinking about something: "It seems that the tiger is very spiritual." ”
Liang Futian nodded: "Recently, I and several hunters in the village are studying how to modify these animal traps so that they can effectively clamp the tigers to get rid of the scourge in our mountains. ”
Wang Shaoxiang: "That's good. ”
Liang Futian: "Ah Fei, you will stay here for the time being, and Zhenhui and I will often come in to visit you." And you are not polite, but come to my house when you have time. ”
Zhang Shaofei: "Okay, Uncle Futian, we will make arrangements." ”
From this day on, Zhang Shaofei and Wang Shaoxiang lived in a small grass shed behind the stone gate of Wentianzhai and lived in seclusion.
