Shenhao with a learning panel

Donglu Village is in the northwest of Qian County. Like many beautiful ancient villages in other places in southern Anhui, there is a small river running through the village, surrounded by beautiful peaks, dense streams, and picturesque scenery.

However, this village is more remote than ordinary villages. With the five villager groups in the village, the population is only more than 300, and most of them work and do business outside. Almost all the people who stay in the village are old people, and there are very few left-behind children.

The combination of various factors has resulted in this village never developing despite its good scenery and forest resources.

In recent years, the government has invested heavily, especially after young college students like Sun Lin returned to the village. The village is much better than before, but compared with many villages in Qian County, it is still among the most backward.

Sun Lin's home is at the end of the village. When we arrived, we found out that his home also opened a farmhouse where five artists from Xijing came to sketch.

After tasting the most authentic local farmer's meal, Li Shi smiled and said to him: "Then if we don't open the fire, we will come to your place to eat."

After eating, he insisted on asking his assistant Zhang Huijing to pay according to his menu posted on the kitchen wall.

After eating, I took my suitcase and walked on the bluestone road through the middle of the village and walked inside.

Although the surrounding houses are not particularly exquisite, they are all very traditional Huizhou buildings, with white walls and blue tiles. They are unassuming, but have a simple beauty.

“In our countryside, houses are usually built together, but the yard of my uncle’s house is at the very end, away from the core of the village... In fact, if there are many tourists, it is very suitable to be used as a B&B, but it’s a pity... …”

On the way, Sun Lin introduced it while helping to drag the box, his words were quite sullen.

Li Shi smiled and said, "Aren't there five art students from Xijing living in your home?"

Sun Lin shook his head: "There are people who usually come to the village to play and sketch, but they come one after another, incoherently, and not on a large scale. They are just better than nothing."

Li Shi didn't ask further questions. In fact, he didn't really want to discuss this with him. He talked casually and focused on observing and appreciating the scenery of the village along the way.

After passing through the buildings in the core area of ​​the village, we continued walking along a long bluestone path at the foot of the mountain.

The roadside is mountain farmland and paddy fields, and the ridges are covered with all kinds of green weeds. The key is that there is a small stream on the bluestone roadside. The water is very shallow, and you can see the occasional small fish and shrimp messing around in it. Channel.

After walking for more than a mile, I encountered several houses, but the gates seemed to be locked.

When I asked Sun Lin, it turned out that the owners of these houses were working outside and would usually not come back until the Chinese New Year.

In this way, I suddenly felt that although the surroundings were shaded by grass and trees, it was actually quite desolate.

Not very popular.

Not only did he think so, but several girls following him also felt this way.

Especially the two girls Aiya and Li Shiyi, they felt strange when they thought that they still had to live around here.

Suddenly, the cry of some unknown bird or animal came from the distant mountains.

"It seems a little scary here?"

Aiya muttered, stretched her neck to look around, and quickly grabbed Li Shiyi's arm next to her with her other hand that wasn't dragging her luggage.

Sun Lin smiled and said with relief: "It's okay, it's just the chirping of birds in the mountains. Apart from being far away from the center of the village, it's actually quite safe. And didn't Teacher Li say that you came to sketch and create just to find a quiet place?" The place."

Li Shi nodded and smiled: "That's true."

He is very satisfied.

Especially when I walked to the place and saw the yard and the sweet-scented osmanthus tree by the creek in the yard, I felt even more satisfied.

The ancient phrase came to his mind at that time: small bridges and flowing water, people's homes.

The bluestone road on the west leads to the wooden bridge across the stream at the entrance of the courtyard, and then disappears.

This is the last courtyard in the deepest part of the village.

Walking over the small wooden bridge, you can see a large osmanthus tree when you look up. The crown of the tree not only covers the entire small bridge, but also extends to the bluestone slab on the other side of the creek.

The key was in the hand of the assistant Zhang Huijing. She unlocked the courtyard door and pushed it open. What she saw was an outer courtyard paved with bluestone slabs. It may have been that no one had lived in it for a long time, and grass grew in the gaps between many slabs.

Directly across from the courtyard, walk up the three-step stone staircase and push through the door to find the main body of the courtyard, a two-story courtyard.

Li Shi carried two boxes and went directly to the patio of the inner courtyard. He looked up at the wooden railings and bamboo curtains above and the green tiles on the roof. He then looked down at the bluestone slabs and the pool. Everything that caught his eye exuded the lingering legacy of the passage of time. The next breath.

The yard is old but has a great feel.

When I closed my eyes and listened again, I could only hear the sound of wind and the faint chirping of birds.

A smile couldn't help but curl up at the corner of his mouth. He felt that he really made the right choice in choosing this place.

As long as you decorate it a little bit, it will definitely have an ancient feel and give you a sense of immersion.

And it is indeed quiet enough here. Others may be timid and scared, but he is strong enough to enjoy this quietness peacefully.

What's more, this time there are two beautiful ladies accompanying me.

However, when he was about to take the suitcase directly to the room, he also thought of Aiya's timid behavior on the road just now. He thought to himself that he was brave and sleeping alone at night was fine. These two girls were timid. How about letting them sleep in the same room?
The house in the outer courtyard is short. There is the dining room and kitchen at the entrance. Directly in front of the inner courtyard is the living room. There are two rooms on the left and right sides and three rooms upstairs. In total, there are five bedrooms, which is enough for one person to have a room.

And there are two beds in the three rooms upstairs.

Sun Lin had something to do, so he helped deliver the luggage and then left.

Li Shi sent him to the door and expressed his gratitude. When he came back, he discussed with Aiya and Li Shiyi: "I suggest you sleep in the same room, but it is up to you to decide how to sleep."

Although he gave suggestions, he would not help them make decisions.

When you go out, whether you are working or traveling, if you can live and eat according to your own wishes as much as possible, then you can get more happy emotions.

Li Shi thought they would choose to live in the same house so they could have company. Unexpectedly, after discussing it, the two girls decided to separate and live in their own homes.

Li Shiyi said: "I often need independent space to think about dance."

Aiya seemed to agree with Li Shiyi's reasons. She nodded: "Well, I have started to learn painting now, and I need a separate space to study."

Although Li Shi was a little surprised, he didn't think much about it and said immediately: "Okay, we will all live upstairs. I will live in the middle room, Aiya will live on my left, and Shiyi you will live on the right."

As for the assistant Zhang Huijing and her assistant Wang Yao, they will stay downstairs tonight and will go back to Tanzhou tomorrow.

After deciding on a place to stay, they started moving their luggage into their respective bedrooms.

Speaking of bedrooms, after Sun Lin returned to the village for development the year before last, Sun Gongli wanted to transform the house in his hometown into a B&B. Apart from the reinforcement, most of the exterior of the house has not been changed, at least not significantly. There are only five bedrooms. The changes were relatively large, with new design and decoration, and a bathroom was specially added to each room.

The middle bedroom on the second floor where he lives is the largest, and a Chinese-style wooden fence screen is used to separate the living room and bedroom areas.

The bedroom is simply decorated, with just a cupboard and a bed.The bed is already covered with bedding, which was made by the assistants and the others.

There is a desk, a sofa, two new Chinese-style chairs and a wooden coffee table in the living room. There is a TV cabinet in front of the sofa, but there is no TV installed.However, the sofa and chairs are covered with gray cushions, which is also the work of the assistants.In addition, the lamps on the top are also designed.

Li Shi looked at the antique bedrooms in the house that had been re-decorated by Zhang Huijing and the others to look like mature B&Bs. He thought, looking at the decoration and furnishings, Sun Gongli had spent a lot of money on them. Unfortunately, his investment failed halfway. Otherwise, if you add a few more things, you can almost open it to the public directly.

But then I thought about it, it wasn't a pity, this was his family's old house after all.

If it can’t be used as a B&B, it would be good for the family to come back and live there themselves.

Li Shi opened the suitcase and took out a portable WiFi first.

This is a ZTE All-Netcom Portable WiFi that I bought online. The introduction says it has 5g/4g high-speed Internet access and a large [-] mAh battery. Not only is it fast, it can be used outdoors for several days on a single charge.

He turned it on and tested it. The network speed was 32 megabits per second. When he clicked on a video on the tablet, it would open within seconds.

"1500g flow rate should be enough."

Li Shi came out of the house with his portable WiFi and found a place to put it in the corridor outside the door. This would ensure that the houses on the left and right, downstairs, and the front yard were within the signal coverage as much as possible.

After putting it away, I went downstairs to the living room on the first floor. I talked to the assistant Zhang Huijing and the others first and praised them for their good work.

Zhang Huijing and Wang Yao were very happy to receive the praise. Zhang Huijing smiled and said: "Boss, the kitchen has also added rice, oil, salt, seasonings, and an induction cooker and microwave. When we brought it over, we asked Brother Sun to help find someone. I borrowed an electric tricycle to transport it. If you need to move something big in the future, you can also borrow an electric tricycle."

"In addition, in addition to Brother Sun's house, there are two other farmhouses in the village. If you don't want to cook by yourself, you can order food from them."

"I also brought the equipment you asked me to bring. It's in the room where Yaoyao and I are. Do I need to take it upstairs to you now?"

"No, just leave it there." Li Shi shook his head and chatted with her about some family matters.

While chatting with his assistant about work, he also looked at the living room on the first floor.

The living room has a new wooden floor. There is only a table and a few small stools. There is nothing else. It is very empty. It must be that Sun Gongli has not had time to add furniture to the living room.

Li Shi smiled secretly and thought, what a coincidence, this is a suitable place for Li Shiyi to choreograph and practice dance.

Just as they were talking, Aiya suddenly came down from upstairs and happily said to them: "It's great to take pictures here, let's take pictures!"

……

While the girls were taking photos, Li Shi returned to the room, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone to practice calligraphy, and finished today's homework first.

more than an hour later.

He put down his pen, took the used inkstone to the bathroom, washed it, and put it back on the desk in the living room.

After completing all this, he did not rush down, but sat on the chair again and listened quietly to the movement around him for a while.

The surroundings were so quiet, except for the occasional faint chirping of insects from behind the house.

Listening carefully, the living room downstairs seemed very lively.

He got up, went to the suitcase to get a flashlight, and went out.

All the lights in the corridor outside were turned on, illuminating the area around the patio.

Going down the stairs, I found four girls playing in the living room. They were sitting directly on the wooden floor, placing the snacks and food they brought on the tables and stools that were easily accessible around them, and then they were all playing with their mobile phones. game.

Listen to the sound, it is the glory of the king.

Li Shi's arrival naturally attracted their attention. Before Aiya could speak, Li Shiyi shouted first: "Fellow, come and play black together. We have knelt down three times in a row. Come and take us flying!"

The wooden floor is much cleaner than before. They must have scrubbed it.

Li Shi smiled and said, "You guys play first, and I'll go look around."

This is one of his habits. Whenever he goes somewhere, he must first become familiar with the environment, so that he can know the surrounding situation well.

However, he was not in a hurry to leave the courtyard. Instead, he first looked at the other two rooms on the first floor, and then used a flashlight to check the wall of the inner courtyard. After making sure that the door and wall were not broken, and that no one outside could come in, he went to the courtyard outside.

The dining room and kitchen were also checked in between.

After checking every corner of the outer courtyard, he left the yard and began to circle around the perimeter of the entire yard.

There are dry fields all around. It may have been the vegetable plot of Sun Gongli and his family in the past, but now it is all deserted.

The ridges can be seen, but they are overgrown with weeds.

The focus of the inspection was on the situation behind the house - past several dry fields, there were gradually rising mountains. It seemed that many fruit trees were planted. Beyond that, there were deep mountains.

……

After turning around, he returned to the yard, closed the yard door and the room door, went upstairs to take a shower, changed clothes, and then came down to play games with the four girls.

It was dark and we played until almost one o'clock in the morning before everyone went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Li Shi originally thought that the first day in Donglu Village would pass quietly and leisurely.

After he returned to his bedroom, he wrote a paper for an hour. When he was about to go to bed, his cell phone rang.

I saw a WeChat message and it was from the little girl in the room on the left.

"Brother Shi, are you asleep?"

Li Shi leaned on the bedside, clicked on the input method and replied: "Not yet, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Aya: "I forgot to learn to draw today. (Embarrassed)"

Li Shi: "It doesn't matter, I'll just make it up tomorrow. I must be tired after catching a train all day today. Go to sleep. I have to go to the city's high-speed rail station to see off Huijing and the others tomorrow morning."

Aya: "Oh, okay."

After a few minutes of silence, Li Shi thought she had really fallen asleep, so he lay down and browsed the news, and went to a certain up host on station B to see the update of the Myanmar war report.

Not long after, this girl sent another message.

Aya: "(I'm about to cry) Brother Shi, I can't sleep."

Li Shi paused the video, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Aya: "Yeah, I'm a little afraid to sleep alone. (Poor)"

Li Shi also understood that in the current environment, let alone girls, timid boys might not dare to sleep alone. He typed: "Then come here and I will open the door for you." (End of Chapter)
