The early morning time is the most precious time of the day, the most energetic time of the day, in such a time, anyone has the opportunity to prepare what they want to do for the day, and anyone has the opportunity to accomplish what they want to accomplish the day.

Fang Hong and Meng Yazhen were the same, they had already prepared water, drinks, biscuits and fruits. It's like preparing to travel, at least Meng Yazhen thinks so, she has a curious desire to appreciate the gold-inlaid jade bamboo, and a curious yearning for the mysterious nature, what kind of mountain will Xizhu Mountain be, what strange things will there be on the mountain, will there be cute birds, delicious wild vegetables, and naughty squirrels as Fang Hong said...... But Fang Hong didn't think like this, because he grew up in the mountains when he was a child, raising cattle, cutting grass, chopping firewood, and farming, all of which he participated in the farm work that adults did, and he was used to birds and beasts on the mountains. Until I went to high school, the price of the notoginseng planted by my parents was lucky to rise and I sold it for a lot of money, and the two old men helped Fang Hong buy a commercial house in the city. Even so, it is not surprising that he has something on the mountain.

Since it is not surprising, why he still came, the question is only clear to him, and perhaps he may not be clear to himself.

Because I am from the countryside, I used to be a child in the mountains, so the car I bought was also a car adapted to the countryside. Fang Hong's car is not an expensive car, but an off-road car, which can carry more people, load more things, and most importantly, the chassis is high and suitable for the mud and sand roads in the countryside.

In addition to his parents, Meng Yazhen is his favorite, maybe because he likes to drink, maybe because he likes to watch Meng Yazhen drive elegantly. Every time the two of them got out of the car, he let Meng Yazhen drive, and he was happy.

This trip was no exception, I saw Meng Yazhen put her long hair in a bun at the back of her head, put on a pair of coffee-colored sunglasses, wore a yellow spring coat with suitable elastic tightness, wore light blue jeans on her lower body, and a pair of gray and white flat-heeled tourist shoes on her feet were controlling the brakes. It looks delicate and generous, quiet and elegant.

Meng Yazhen's car technique Fang Hong is recognized, the speed is appropriate, even and smooth.

The car drove away from the county seat under the control of Meng Yazhen, and drove to Xizhu Village in the distance under Fang Hong's guidance.

After a few hours, the car arrived at the end of the Xizhu Reservoir. It was only a little more than a kilometer away from Xizhu Village, and Meng Yazhen wanted to get out of the car to see where Fang Hong was fishing.

The two of them got out of the car.

Meng Yazhen was stunned by the scene in front of her!:

I saw that the green mountains here are colorful and colorful, and the clouds are shining. The mountains are misty and misty, and the top of the mountain is misty. Clear springs gush out of the mountains, making a sound like a song. Butterflies dancing and beeping on both sides of the road, birds singing and flowers, the reservoir not far from the road is sparkling, blue color streamers, in the reflection of blue sky, white clouds and green mountains, just like the mysterious Dragon Palace.

Meng Yazhen jumped up excitedly, took out her mobile phone to take pictures frequently, and complained about Fang Hong while taking pictures, and didn't bring her to this place to play early.

Fang Hong ran around with Meng Yazhen, until she was a little out of breath, and then reminded: "Yazhen, let's go into the village!"

Meng Yazhen didn't seem to have enough fun, but she knew that Fang Hong didn't bring her to play today. So while the other party was red and angry, he got into the cab.

The car started again, drove into the quiet Xizhu Village, and soon stopped at a turf stall at the entrance of the village.

The changes in Xizhu Village amazed Fang Hong. 10 years ago, the houses in Xizhu Village were gray wood and earth tiles, ink smoke and dirt, messy thatched houses, and worse, there were no cars or electricity. Now it is presented in front of Fang Hong's eyes: every household is watered with reinforced concrete, decorated with ceramic tiles and colored tiles, dazzling and dazzling; A wide pouring cement road winds its way through the village, leading to a muddy road at the entrance of the village. At the intersection, straight cement poles hold up thick wires and enter the village, diverting every household, just like a village that has been lifted out of poverty and become rich.

But the whole village was quiet, and if it weren't for the occasional sound of chickens and dogs barking, it would be suspicious that there was no one in the village at all.

If it's too noisy, you feel irritable, and if it's too quiet, you feel lonely. People are like that, there is nothing in this world that makes people satisfied for a long time.

"This place—it's too quiet!" Meng Yazhen sighed as she got out of the car. The expression of joy just now was a little dim.

Fang Hong picked up the travel bag and put it on his back, and pulled out an iron rod with a length of one meter from the back of the car, this iron rod was bought by Fang Hong on the Internet, this iron rod is actually a long-haired gun, press a few turns at one end to pull out the gun head, the tail end of the gun head has a spiral, and the screw mouth catches the rod head tightly and tightens it is a gun. He held the iron rod in one hand and gently hugged Meng Yazhen's waist with the other and said, "Yes, the current countryside is basically the same everywhere, don't you remember what Uncle Zhang said?

Meng Yazhen knew that Fang Hong was worried that she was afraid, so she hugged her like this.

Fang Hong continued: "After the education reform, there are no schools in such village groups, and primary school students all carry their luggage to our village committee's school to live and study. Most children of kindergarten age go with their parents to work in distant cities, and send their children to kindergarten at the place where they work. So in a small village like this, only the elderly are left! If there is no old man left, lock the door. ”

"But their house is so well built! Some are empty and no one lives in them, what a waste! Meng Yazhen said.

"Yes, they work hard outside to build a nice house, even though they only come back twice a year. Rural and urban people are now the same, more than a house than a car. Fang Hong said as she hugged Meng Yazhen and walked along a path to Xizhu Mountain.

Meng Yazhen broke free of Fang Hong's hand and smiled: "How awkward it is to walk on the path like this!" Besides, I'm not a kid either!"

Fang Hong really said, "You won't be afraid, right?"

Meng Yazhen said angrily: "With you, what else do I have to be afraid of!"

The two talked while walking, and before they knew it, they arrived at the foot of Xizhu Mountain.

Xizhu Mountain is indeed the same as Fang Hong's previous description: towering like clouds, green bamboos in the sky.

Climbing into the bamboo forest is not as fun as just now by the reservoir! Because there were buzzing mosquitoes that began to entangle them, Meng Yazhen began to frown!

Fang Hong was indeed experienced, he took out the flower water prepared in advance and sprayed it on Meng Yazhen and himself a little, and those mosquitoes immediately dispersed!

There was a vague path in the bamboo forest, and there were no traces of footprints on this path, except that the stumps and leaves had been cleared to both sides, stacked together in a regular manner, easier to walk than anywhere in the vicinity, and winding up the hill, so that it was certain that it was a road that had been walked before. Fang Hong used an iron rod to open the way, and Meng Yazhen grabbed the corner of Fang Hong's clothes with one hand, as if she was afraid that Fang Hong would fly.

The bamboo waves are bursting, the canopy covers the sky and the sun, the light is dim, fortunately, flocks of birds are chirping in the branches, laughing like a joke, as if they are judging him.

Birds do exist, but they are not as cute as Fang Hong said, because the birds are strung around on the high branches, and they can't appreciate their true faces when they hear the sound and see the shadows.

The dense forest of all kinds of bamboos was next to it, but Meng Yazhen didn't see the yellow and shiny gold-inlaid jade bamboo as Fang Hong said.

Wild vegetables are not absent, but unfortunately there are bamboo shoots, and Meng Yazhen no longer knows other wild vegetables.

Meng Yazhen felt a little disappointed and a little stunned. But she believed that the places where Fang Hong took her were often unexpected gains and surprises, but this time it was not Fang Hong who wanted to bring her, but she insisted on following Fang Hong. Fang Hong said yesterday that she was not suitable for coming to this place, so today she no longer has the luxury of expecting the word surprise.

Meng Yazhen even had plans to go home at this moment. But he was unwilling to let Fang Hong laugh, so he followed Fang Hong hard.

Fang Hong always looks back in three steps, looks back at her in two steps and smiles at her, and there is love and encouragement in her smile! There was no sign of teasing at all.

"Wasn't it here when you stole bamboo?" Meng Yazhen asked Fang Hong with a little breathless smile.

Fang Hong also replied with a smile: "It's not here, if it's here, I won't be able to run away that day!"

"So have you been here?" Meng Yazhen asked with a crisp smile.

Fang Hong naturally heard that Meng Yazhen was worried that she was not familiar with the location, and she was afraid of taking her to get lost. I wanted to joke with her and scare her that she hadn't come, but I still couldn't bear it. So he said, "I have come." ”

Who knew that Meng Yazhen looked melancholy after hearing this, because usually Fang Hong would tease her and coax her when she was frightened. In such a quiet situation as the current one, Fang Hong should have deceived her in an attempt to make her more worried. And then the two of them are bickering, and that's the real thing. But in front of her, Fang Hong said that Meng Yazhen thought that Fang Hong was afraid that she would be worried and lied.

The smarter the woman, the more she believes in men's lies, and they always think that men can't deceive themselves! Always judge from the perspective of the opposite. Meng Yazhen is actually such a smart woman!

After Fang Hong answered honestly, she also felt that the atmosphere was wrong! Hurriedly continued: "I have been here with my grandfather and grandfather since I was very young! At that time, they made hookahs to sell money, and in the entire township and county, only here has the most bamboo varieties, the largest, and the best material! ”

Seeing that Meng Yazhen was still a little worried, she continued: "Later, when I was in the fifth grade, I came here with my cousin to pull firewood. Unfortunately, at that time, forestry management was lax, and people often cut down these big trees, changed them into slabs, and changed them into coffins to sell. Add to that a huge mine nearby, and you know that mining requires a lot of timber to make derricks. The worst thing is that there are still people who burn charcoal to sell, a cellar of charcoal to burn thousands of catties of good firewood, and some people burn several cellars a day. At that time, the timber was so devastating that in just two years, the nearby mountains were tossed to the point of only a hoe and a small tree. Only the bamboo of this mountain, the people here have been protecting it for generations, even my grandfather and my grandfather used it to do the tobacco pouch business with money, and the owners here choose very mature bamboo to sell, young bamboo, young bamboo, even if it grows tall, they will never cut it to sell. ”

"That's not right! There are at most fifty or sixty families here, and they sell so much timber, they should have made a fortune a long time ago!" Meng Yazhen said suspiciously.

"No, the people here don't cut down the trees here, they are all from other villages, and people from other villages come to cut them down. The people here can't protect other trees, only the bamboo forest of this mountain. Fang Hong said.

"So the people here regard bamboo as very important," Meng Yazhen's brows stretched slightly: "No wonder you were chased and fled that time when you only cut two bamboos!"

"Run away, don't say it's so ......ugly," Fang Hong deliberately showed a frustrated look and said: "Fortunately, I was at the head of the village at that time, if I was here, I would definitely not be able to escape!"

Meng Yazhen smiled deliciously: "If you can't escape at that time, it's okay!" With your unreliable white face, you will be forced to be a son-in-law at most......"

Fang Hong laughed dryly.

Meng Yazhen continued to laugh and said, "So, do you remember any places here that are very impressive?"

This is obviously still not reassuring.

Fang Hong smiled again and said, "It's been more than 10 years!" A lot of places have changed, and I found that the mountain has not changed much, if I remember correctly, now as long as we climb up this path for about 100 meters, there should be a path to the right, and if we turn right along that road, we will find a pool of water, this pool of water is called Shibang Pond. There is a road paved with horse's tooth stone next to this stone pond, and if you follow that road, you can reach the place where I am going today. ”

"Shibang Beach?" Meng Yazhen said, "Shibang ......"

At this time, Fang Hong pulled a bamboo leaf from his hand, held it to his lips, took a deep breath, and then puffed up his cheeks and blew the bamboo leaves, and for a while, the sound of bamboo waves was replaced by a sharp and tactful primitive music. Meng Yazhen, who grew up in the county seat, only heard the melodious sound of bamboo leaves in the TV series "Liu Sanjie", but she didn't expect it to come out of her boyfriend's mouth at this moment. She was surprised and delighted, and when she listened, she was intoxicated by the beautiful bamboo leaf song.

It wasn't until Fang Hong spit out the bamboo leaves and stopped that Meng Yazhen said happily: "I really can't see that you still play this, what tune did you blow just now?" I feel that it has the charm of a mountain song!"

Fang Hong smiled and said: "It is indeed a few mountain songs, which are like this:

A sister is a noble brother and a cheap brother,

Empty Sister reads every day!

I only hate that my family is poor and difficult to turn over,

You can't carry a sedan chair to meet you!"

Meng Yazhen said with interest: "I'm still trying to hear you play a tune!"

Fang Hong smiled, pulled another bamboo leaf and put it on his lips, and a graceful mountain song and folk song echoed in the forest again. Meng Yazhen could hear it, and when Fang Hong finished blowing, she asked again: "How do you explain this mountain song?"

Fang Hong read slowly:

Peach and plum on the barren slope,

I'll see you when it blooms!

Who's going to end up with the result?

Let me be empty and attached!

Meng Yazhen's emotions became active again, she squeezed her fist and slapped Fang Hong's back while eating and laughing: "In the end, you are still not honest enough, until today I let me know that you can sing mountain songs!"

Fang Hong smiled and said: "If you don't say two sentences, you can sing, they will sing, from night to dawn." ”

Meng Yazhen also pulled a bamboo leaf and put it in her mouth, wanting to learn from Fang Hong to blow a beautiful sound, but she almost blew out her nose and didn't make a sound, and the two couldn't help laughing.
