Next Chapter

As dawn approached in the east, the loud crowing of the rooster broke the silence of the mountain village, and the smoke curled into a mist mixed with the scent of polenta, which surrounded the village and made it look a little hazy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the pace of time has long passed in 2000, this remote mountain village does not have many characteristics of the advanced era from the outside, and the strong modern atmosphere of the bustling city in the distance has not yet spread to this point, and there is not even an asphalt road, it is still a jagged farm yard under the shade of potholes and dirt roads and green trees.

A teenager moved his arms in his yard, jumped a few times, and then began to run around a large apricot tree in front of the house.

A small black-haired Shiba dog came out of the nest, stretched his waist, and looked lazily at his master.

The boy ran a few laps, stopped under the west wall of the courtyard, there were two red bricks under the wall, the boy squatted down and adjusted the position of the bricks, shoulder-width apart, and then pressed his hands on the bricks, stretched his legs back, and started push-ups one by one.

The boy's push-up movements are extremely standard, his legs are together, his body is stretched in a straight line, he leans down to the lowest, and then his arms are supported hard, so that he has done a hundred times before he stands up, takes a deep breath of cool air, expands his arms, and his slightly sore arms feel a lot more relaxed and comfortable under this expansion.

Then, the boy made a somewhat surprising action, only to see him stand up straight, take a deep breath, his body suddenly fell straight forward, only to hear the sound of "bang", when the body is about to hit the ground, but with both palms to support the ground, this action is very difficult for people who do not exercise, and it is easy to hurt the wrist, but the boy is extremely easy to do.

The young man supported the ground with both palms, his arms and back bounced up at the same time, turned over and lay on his back, and then a carp stood up.

Falling forward, turning over, carp fighting, and falling forward, this set of actions was repeated five times in a row, the movements were clean and neat, and it seemed that his arm strength was very strong.

He has been practicing early every day for several years, although he only practiced ordinary push-ups, and even nothing at all, but under the boy's almost pious insistence on practice, his body appeared extraordinarily strong.

Practicing push-ups has become one of the most important habits in his life, and if he doesn't do it for a day, he will feel uncomfortable all over.

The young man's name is Zhao Yunfei, the surname Zhao is a big surname in their village, this small mountain village is called Donglongquan Village, which belongs to Wulongshan Town, Fengming County, Hanning Province, the northwest of the village is close to the reckless Wulong Mountain Range, and Donglongquan Village is at the foot of Wulong Mountain.

After Zhao Yunfei finished exercising, he picked up a broom and swept the yard with a bang.

The yard of his house is nearly one acre in size, sitting on three red brick houses facing north and south, the southwest corner of the yard is the toilet, and there is a pigsty behind the toilet.

The pigs in the pigsty heard the movement and snorted loudly.

There is a brick pot stove under the east wall, as long as it does not rain and does not blow strong winds, Zhao Yunfei generally uses this stove to cook pig food and cook, and in the countryside, there are dead branches, crop straw and other firewood as fuel, all of which do not cost money, and use these to save money than using coal or electricity.

Zhao Yun flew to the cauldron and poured half a pot of water, there was a small hole on the side of the stove, there was a box of matches in it, felt it out, wiped the fire, ignited the straw, and when the fire was hot, a few branches were added, and after a while, the water in the big iron pot made a squeaky sound.

Got up and went back to the north house to pick up a bucket of pig food mixed with wheat bran, broken grass, and rotten vegetable leaves, poured it into the cauldron, and filled it with a few handfuls of firewood, and after a while, the smell of pig food filled the courtyard.

The little black pig in the pigsty smelled the pig food and screamed even more happily.

Exercising, sweeping the yard, boiling pig food, feeding pigs, and making breakfast every morning are Zhao Yunfei's fixed routines.

"Xiao Ji, get up!" Zhao Yunfei squatted by the stove to fill firewood, turned around and shouted into the house.

At this time, the fragrance of glut-grits porridge wafted out of the cauldron, and her sister Zhao Xiaoji came out of the house with a washbasin, put the washbasin under the apricot tree, picked up the water with her little hands to wash her face, and after washing, poured the water in the basin under the tree.

At this time, the big iron gate was slammed, and someone shouted: "Yunfei, open the door!"

The little black barked twice and stopped screaming, because it could also hear the voice of an acquaintance.

Zhao Yunfei agreed, turned his head and said to his sister, "Xiaoji, go open the door." ”

Xiao Ji ran to open the door, and in came a thick, big-eyed, dark, strong boy.

The person named Han Tuo, the same age as Zhao Yunfei, is Zhao Yunfei's classmate, and is also Zhao Yunfei's best partner.

"Have you eaten?" Zhao Yunfei asked when he looked up at Han Tuo, who walked into the courtyard.

"I'll drink another bowl of porridge. Han Tuo grinned, he was always the same in Zhao Yunfei's house as he was in his own house.

"Put the table away!" Zhao Yunfei said.

Han Tuo walked to the eaves, carried a small wooden square table and put it next to the stove, set up three small benches, Xiao Ji took the dishes and chopsticks out of the house, Zhao Yunfei told Han Tuosheng porridge, and he went back to the house and cut a plate of pickle strips.

Now is the time for summer vacation, Zhao Yunfei and Han Tuo are fine today, and they plan to go to the field to dig voles.

After the three of them finished eating, they went out of the gate with shovels and snakeskin bags, and saw Li Lanfang, who lived in the front yard, coming out of the door of his house with a basket on his back.

"What are you doing here?" Li Lanfang smiled like a flower, and walked over to ask Zhao Yunfei about them.

Han Tuo patted the shovel and said, "Let's go dig voles in the south field, will you go together?"

"I'm not free....Xiao Ji ......" Li Lanfang reached out and rubbed the top of Xiao Ji's head, and immediately rubbed Xiao Ji's short hair messy.

"Sister Xiaofang. Xiao Ji shouted obediently.

Li Lanfang agreed, but looked at Zhao Yunfei with bright eyes.

Zhao Yunfei asked, "Are you going to hunt pigweed?"

"yes, I'm going to the northwest slope, where there's a lot of pigweed. Li Lanfang replied, and after taking a few steps, she turned back and said, "If I had come back, I would have gone to the south to find you!"

......

Blue skies and white clouds, crisp morning breezes, verdant fields and towering green hills not far to the northwest, small villages at the foot of the mountains are quiet and serene, with the occasional rooster and dog barking, giving people the feeling of being a paradise.

In a wheat field that had just been harvested, Zhao Yunfei and Han Tuo were sweating like rain, struggling to dig a vole hole, Xiao Ji put his arm around Xiao Hei's neck, watching intently from the side.

"Ah, run, run, little black, chase after you!" the two teenagers suddenly shouted at the same time.

A fat vole came out of the hole, and Zhao Yunfei and Han Tuo waved the shovel and wooden stick in their hands, shouting at the black dog to chase after the vole.

They didn't chase far, but there was a cry of "wow" behind them, Zhao Yunfei hurriedly stopped, and when he looked back, it turned out that when Xiao Ji was chasing behind, he accidentally tripped on the ridge of the field and fell into the small canal used for irrigation in the field.

Zhao Yunfei hurriedly ran over, picked up Xiao Ji, patted the soil on her body, and coaxed his sister: "Xiao Ji doesn't cry!"

Fortunately, the canal was not hardened with bricks and cement, and there was no water, just a shallow ditch dug out of an iron shovel, although the fall was painful, but it was not injured, and the children in the countryside were not so squeamish, and Xiao Ji stopped crying after a few tears.

The vole scurried very fast, and a puff of smoke burrowed into the rice field below the slope, Han Tuo looked at the dense rice seedlings helplessly and said, "Count yourself lucky!"

"Did Xiao Ji fall in pain?" Han Tuo returned and bent over to ask Xiao Ji.

"It doesn't hurt, brother, did you catch the vole?" Xiao Ji wiped his teary eyes and stretched out his little hand to Han Tuo.

Han Tuo clapped his hands and said, "The vole ran away, but it's okay, wait for my brother to catch you again, this time I must catch a big one!"

Continue to dig down the vole hole, digging and digging, one hole suddenly forked and became two holes, looking at the angle of the hole, it should lead to different directions.

"Which one shall we dig?" Han Tuo pointed to the two holes, feeling very embarrassed.

"Come up, I'll go down and see. Zhao Yunfei bent down and stared at the entrance of the cave and said, stretched out his hand to pull Han Tuo up, jumped into the pit himself, and carefully inspected the two holes.

"This vole is so cunning that it deliberately gouged two holes, and one of these two holes must be fake, and if we dig it wrong, it will be in vain, and then nothing will be dug up. Zhao Yunfei said.

"It's really cunning, so which one are we going to dig?" Han Tuo asked, scratching his head.

Zhao Yunfei put his finger into the hole and touched it, saying, "I know which hole is real!"

"Ah, yes, which one is true? Han Tuo urged repeatedly.

"The hole on the left is rough, and the hole on the right is smooth......"

The impatient Han Tuo didn't wait for Zhao Yunfei to finish speaking, he jumped into the pit and put his finger into the hole, "That's the case, I also know, this smooth hole shows that voles often drill in and out, then this hole must be real!"

Zhao Yunfei hurriedly stopped and said, "You rest for a while, I'll dig!"

In this way, the two friends dug the hole in shifts, and the hole became deeper and deeper, and the two of them were covered with sweat.

After a while, a new situation appeared, they found that the real hole was always blocked by soft soil, making the hole looming, Zhao Yunfei and Han Tuo studied this situation for a long time, and suddenly realized, and at the same time shouted excitedly: "There is also a vole in the cave!"

That's right, there are two big voles in the hole, the vole that escaped just now used a trick to lure the enemy, trying to lure the invading enemy away, but unfortunately it didn't succeed, and it didn't work, and there was a second strategy, which was to set up a fake hole, this fake hole was dug when the vole first dug a hole to settle down, and the meaning of the three holes of the cunning rabbit is almost the same, mainly used to confuse the enemy, but I didn't expect it to be recognized.

The vole that remained in the cave was struggling to dig through the earth so that the invading enemy could not find the location of the hole, but it was facing humans, known as the most intelligent creatures on the planet, the king of all creatures, and its survival efforts did not help, but only made the invaders even more excited.

Zhao Yunfei dug hard, not bothering to wipe the sweat on his face, Han Tuo was eager to try with a wooden stick, Xiao Hei ran up and down, kept sniffing with his nose, and made a "woo" sound in his mouth.
