In the afternoon, since all the corn in the field had been recovered, my father was idle.

Li Yang discussed with his father about contracting mountain films.

The father thought about it for a moment and said:

"Since I want to raise chickens, I think I will contract the big Lizi Mountain behind us, this mountain is relatively large, and a place is circled, which is suitable for raising chickens. ”

"Then why can't you choose a smaller mountain?" Li Yang was a little curious.

"Although we are surrounded by mountains, those small mountains are either too small, or they have been planted with fruit trees and become orchards, while Dalizi Mountain, where there are all forests, is covered with a chicken coop on a flat place with a net, which is suitable for management. ”

The father took a sip of water and continued: "In addition, it is far away from people's homes, and the virus can be avoided.

Li Yang also nodded, he thought that what his father said was reasonable, and there was another point that he had considered, that is, the taste of raising chickens was too big, if it was raised in Dalizi Mountain, there would be no need to care, there was no one living there.

"What about the traffic, can you get in the car?" Li Yang suddenly thought of this critical question. If you don't go in the car, it's all in vain!

"That's nature, the car of the forest farm goes up to cut trees every year, why can't you get into the car?"

"That's good, or we'll check it out tomorrow. Just go to my grandfather's grave again!"

"Okay, it's fine, I'm making a few condoms to see if I can get a few pheasants and rabbits back for drinking!"

It is said that when Li Yang's father was young, he was a well-known hunter, and at that time, the state was not very strict with gun management, and there were wild wolves in the mountains at that time, and when the sow gave birth, it was allowed to go down the mountain, just like they knew.

My father's marksmanship was practiced during that period.

When the state did not allow private individuals to own hunting rifles, my father began to put down traps, wild boars, rabbits and pheasants, and strange to say, the guns were handed in, and the wolves were gone, and I had not heard of any more wolves coming down the mountain for many years!

Put on his shoes Li Yang was going to go to the toilet, but as soon as he turned to the back of the house, a figure rushed in front of him, which frightened Li Yang and hurriedly retreated.

However, apparently he didn't dodge, and a big wet tongue licked Li Yang's face.

It turned out to be a home-bred Chinese pastoral dog, rhubarb. The dog had been in the house for six or seven years, and although he hadn't seen him for two years, he still recognized him by smell.

"Rhubarb, don't make trouble, I forgot to come to see you, I didn't expect you to remember me?"

"Wangwang!" Rhubarb seemed to have spirituality, so he circled around Li Yang, shaking his big tail, and stretching out his big tongue from time to time to lick around.

It took a lot of effort to shake off this sticky guy, and let go of the water comfortably, before coming to Rhubarb's side again.

Holding the rhubarb, walking on the cement road of the village, it seems to have returned to a few years ago, but things are not people, the house is still the original house, but there is no one inside.

I finally walked to the small shop in the center of the village, only to see someone, this small shop was opened by a primary school classmate in Li Yang, and the people who still lived in the village at this time were basically here, playing mahjong and watching small cards.

"Yo, isn't this Li Yang, why did you come back from vacation to see your parents?"

Li Yang saw that the person who spoke was also surnamed Li, and he was an uncle from afar.

"Third uncle, well, you're back, what are you doing here?" Li Yang said.

"It's nothing, wandering around, you can stay for a few days when you come back this time, you can go to your uncle's house to play when you have time, and ask your aunt to get you two dishes for us to drink." ”

"Okay, I won't leave when I come back this time, I will definitely go when I have time. Li Yang nodded in agreement.

At this time, mahjong was playing in the house, and the people who were watching the cards also looked over, and when they saw that it was Li Yang, they greeted each other.

"Isn't this the kid of the old Li family?"

"yes, how long have you been gone, and when did you come back?"

“·······”

In the face of the enthusiasm of the villagers, Li Yang finally realized what it was like to go home.

Basically all of the elders present are Li Yang's elders, except for the uncle's generation, which is the grandfather's generation, Li Yang greeted them one by one. Then I bought a bottle of drink for each of them, and bought a bunch of snacks and melon seeds, and put them in front of them.

In addition, everyone present praised Li Yang for being a sensible and good boy.

But the happiest person is the owner of the shop, these things are about to expire in the store, and today they are finally sold. No way, the rest of the village are old people, who will spend money on these?

Leaving the shop, Li Yang took the rhubarb and returned home, and chatted with his parents and grandmother until dinner, but after the meal, his grandmother and mother still didn't let him go, and dragged him until midnight, as if he couldn't finish talking about the topic.

Fortunately, his father finally spoke, and Li Yang was able to sleep!

Early the next morning, after breakfast, my father drove a tractor to buy some burning paper, and took Li Yang into the mountain. I went to see my grandfather's grave first, and after burning the paper, I kowtowed, and the two of them continued to drive up the mountain.

Sure enough, as my father said, they drove the tractor directly to the halfway point of the mountain.

Dalizi Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1,200 meters, has two cliffs at the top of the mountain. There is a more famous old road cave on the mountain.

According to the old man Li Yang heard when he was a child, before liberation, there lived an old man surnamed Wang, who was barefoot in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and was called Wang Barefoot. Only when he needs to buy rice and noodles will he be seen going down the mountain, usually there is no human figure at all, some people say that he will treat people, some people say that he is practicing in the mountains, and some people say that he is a fool and mentally ill. Anyway, there are legends about him in front of the mountain and ten miles behind the mountain, and in the end I heard that he is gone, and I don't know whether he lives or dies.

And the cave where he lives is called Lao Dao Cave.

Li Yang remembers that when he was a child, he also went to the old road cave, which was a natural cave under the cliff, not very deep, there was a mountain apricot at the entrance of the cave, and there was a stone millstone under the tree, and the mountain road was very steep and I didn't know how it was transported in the first place.

In addition, in addition to the old road hole, there are drip holes and heart holes.

Water drips from the cracks in the rocks all year round, even in winter.

The piercing hole is a miracle of nature, directly penetrating between the cliffs in front of and behind the mountain.

This time up the mountain, Li Yang didn't plan to climb to the top of the mountain to see the old road cave, after all, the mountain road is rugged, he doesn't want to take his father, who is over half a hundred years old, to climb the mountain, in case there is a mistake, it will not be seconds!

After getting off the bumpy tractor, he suddenly felt relaxed, feeling the breeze from the forest, Li Yang felt that if he really lived here, it would not be a pleasant thing!
