You can make it through

The two swayed to the bottom of the bridge. Li Dongyao got on the car and tried to start it. He stepped on the accelerator and the car jumped forward a few meters. The cobblestones under the car were swept away by the sudden acceleration of the wheels. rushed to the road.Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the car is really good, nothing happened after flying from such a high altitude!He climbed up the road, Li Dongyao parked the car on the side of the road, lowered the window and looked at him with a smile: "It seems to be able to drive!"

Looking at his wrinkled face, Zhang Yang couldn't help curling his lips.He climbed into the car and directed Li Dongyao to turn around and drive forward: "Take you to see the beautiful mountains and rivers in Xikou!"

Li Dongyao said "De Ling", turned the steering wheel violently, turned around very neatly, and the car drove forward.The car passed through the village, and Zhang Yang introduced him one by one. There was an old couple living in this house with three young grandchildren, and the others were working in Dongguan; The little granddaughter, the daughter is married to Tongren, and the two sons are working in Wenzhou... The situation of most families is similar. After Zhang Yang mentioned a few, he gradually lost interest.

"Like Sanxiao, there are very few middle-aged people staying at home. Let alone young people. Everyone has gone outside." Zhang Yang concluded.

Li Dongyao heard melancholy and helplessness from his words. He has not been back to China for a long time, and his understanding of the country is limited to the city.But with common sense, one can also understand how lonely a village without young people is.

"Have you ever heard of left-behind children?" Zhang Yang asked him.

Li Dongyao shook his head.

"Before I was five years old, I don't even have grandparents who can help take care of me." Zhang Yang said slowly.

Li Dongyao drove past the door of a dilapidated wooden house, and there were two dirty children sitting at the door, unable to distinguish between male and female.Zhang Yang also saw them, he stared at them, until the car passed by, he still looked back.

"Left-behind children are children whose parents are working in other places and have no parents to take care of them." Zhang Yang turned around and continued: "But I was fine when I was young. Although I didn't have any old people to take care of me, I had a good sister."

"Thinking about it now, it seems that I didn't suffer much." Zhang Yang turned his head and smiled at Li Dongyao.

Li Dongyao couldn't see Zhang Yang laughing like this, he obviously didn't want to laugh.He freed his right hand and rubbed his shoulder comfortingly.

The car finally drove out of the village, and in front of me was a small open flat rice field, which was already filled with arranged seedlings.Li Dongyao asked Zhang Yang: "What is that?"

While directing him to turn right, Zhang Yang replied: "Paddy." After finishing, he added: "When Paddy was a child!"

Li Dongyao nodded suddenly: "Well, it looks like this. I have seen them grow up and helped harvest them."

Zhang Yang couldn't believe it: "Have you ever harvested?" In his eyes, Li Dongyao should belong to the one who doesn't divide the five grains and doesn't work hard.

"Well, when I was in college, I had a classmate from Tennessee, and his family had a big farm. When I went to his house to play, I helped drive the harvester to harvest rice, which was quite interesting!" Li Dongyao said.

Zhang Yang snorted, Li Dongyao could hear disdain: "I know that the Chinese countryside is different from the United States, and many places still rely on labor."

After the car drove through a section of flat road, the road suddenly became steeper, and the scenery changed from before. There were dense forests on both sides of the road. The afternoon sun penetrated through the forest, and the mottled falls fell on the road and the car body.The wheels rolled over the soft leaf litter.When you open the car window, you can smell the delicious smell of trees in the forest, and hear unknown bird calls, which are clear and distant, as if coming from the depths of the mountains.

After the car climbed a steep slope, it soon went downhill again.The trees in front of the car gradually became scarce, and taller and bigger mountains came into view not far away.Between the mountain and the mountain is a terraced paddy field, spreading from top to bottom to the bottom of the mountain.Some people are leading oxen and plowing in the paddy fields, and the yelling of driving oxen can be heard far and far in the mountains;The mountain scenery and the sun are reflected in the paddy fields, and the wind blows and ripples.

Li Dongyao stopped the car, stood on the side of the road and took pictures with his mobile phone.Sitting in the car, Zhang Yang watched the mountain wind blow his T-shirt against his back, and the shoulder blades on his back raised two abrupt points.Li Dongyao turned his head after the filming, looked at him solemnly and asked, "Have you ever planted rice seedlings?"

After he got into the car, Zhang Yang lifted up his trouser legs to show him the holes on his legs bitten by leeches: "They were all bitten by leeches when planting rice seedlings!"

"leeches?"

"A blood-sucking worm that can burrow into human flesh."

Li Dongyao gasped: "It sounds terrible!"

"It's okay, I'm used to it!" Zhang Yang pretended to be calm.

"Are you here for the experience?" Li Dongyao asked.

"No, that's how I came here when I was a child. When I was three years old, I had to go to the fields to help out!" Zhang Yang continued solemnly, "As a child in Xikou Village, if you don't know how to transplant rice seedlings, you will be beaten."

"We not only need to know how to transplant rice seedlings, but also how to cook and wash clothes, feed pigs and clean up, grow vegetables, corn and sweet potatoes. We have to do these things ourselves when adults are not at home. Otherwise, we will have nothing to eat and nothing to wear."

"Do you know? When I was in primary school, I only had pocket money for the first time, fifty cents. I was reluctant to spend it, and I was going to save it, but it was stolen. It's so sad!"

Zhang Yang made more and more efforts, until Li Dongyao interrupted him: "Stop talking!"

Zhang Yang also deliberately asked: "Why?"

Li Dongyao didn't answer right away, until the car drove into the mountains again, and the dense forest blocked a large area of ​​sunlight.In the distance came loud cries from humans or wild monkeys, one after another with a vicissitudes of crying.Let the whole mountain forest be infected with a sense of sadness.Zhang Yang looked at Li Dongyao's clear-cut profile, which fell in the light for a while, and was hidden in the shadow of the tree for a while.

"Zhang Yang—" After a long time, Li Dongyao finally spoke.

"Ah."

"If possible, I would like to have a time machine."

"What do you want?"

"I can go back to your past and take you out of here."

"But in that case, I wouldn't be the person I am now!" Zhang Yang looked at Li Dongyao.

Li Dongyao parked the car in a place with light. The sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the woods and just fell into the car, illuminating the faces of the two of them.Li Dongyao looked at Zhang Yang seriously: "I would rather not have you now than you have to suffer so much."

The two looked at each other.Zhang Yang slowly raised the corners of his mouth, he held Li Dongyao's face in his hands, rubbed his face and said, "How can you be so cute, my benefactor father!"

Li Dongyao pushed his hand away: "I'm serious."

Zhang Yang hugged him, and whispered in his ear, "I lied to you!"

"..."

"A three-year-old child can't even stand on flat ground, so he goes into the fields? Don't you think it's funny?" Zhang Yang tried his best to hold back his smile.

Li Dongyao wanted to hit someone after hearing this.

"The biggest hardship I suffered when I was young was being bullied by Zhang Sanxiao!" After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he bit Li Dongyao sideways.

"However, I was beaten back by my sister. Anyone who beat me will be beaten by my sister." Zhang Yang described to Li Dongyao the scene where Zhang Li chased Zhang San with a bamboo pole to dry clothes.

"Such a long bamboo pole chased us from the bridge to the place where we had just left the village, and then chased it out again, scaring Zhang Sanxiao, who is over 10 years old, and still wet the bed!" Zhang Yang said dancing.

Li Dongyao listened quietly until Zhang Yang stopped, and the two looked at each other quietly.The sun in the mountains slowly dimmed, and the mountain wind blew in with the coolness of the night, and Li Dongyao sneezed.

Zhang Yang said, "Let's go back."

Li Dongyao didn't move.

"Don't lie to me again in the future." Li Dongyao said.

Zhang Yang didn't like the seriousness in his tone: "This is not written in the agreement!"

"Then make it up now." Li Dongyao said.

Zhang Yang raised his chin: "Then I have to add conditions."

Li Dongyao looked at him: "What conditions."

Zhang Yang rolled his eyes: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll add it when I think about it."

Li Dongyao finally smiled: "Okay."

"Stingy!" Zhang Yang muttered and scolded.

"What did you say?" Li Dongyao asked him when he started the car and couldn't hear clearly.

"I said you look more handsome now than before!" Zhang Yang put on a smiling face and said very loudly.

"You are lying to me now, how can I be handsome now?!" Li Dongyao looked at him dissatisfied.

"It's good if you know~ I said you are handsome, but I just want to make you happy~" Zhang Yang pretended to be aggrieved again.

Li Dongyao made a stop action.

Zhang Yang immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you. You look so ugly now, you are so ugly, I dare not even take a second look at you!"

Li Dongyao's eyebrows twitched again and again, and finally he could only slam on the accelerator, and the car was almost flying forward in the mountains.Zhang Yang's right hand is inconvenient, unable to grasp and shake hands, so he can only firmly grasp the cushion with his left hand, so as to control his body being thrown around.

On a downhill turn, Li Dongyao made a sharp turn, Zhang Yang threw his right hand on the car window and let out a scream.Li Dongyao then slowed down the speed of the car and gradually drove steadily.

Zhang Yang held his injured right hand with his left hand, and looked at his tense profile with aggrieved eyes.

"Li Dongyao!" He whispered.

The other party pretended not to hear.

Zhang Yang took a deep breath, and called out even softer: "Dongyao—Brother." After shouting, he felt goose bumps all over his body.

Li Dongyao glanced at him slightly sideways, then quickly turned his head away, still looking like he didn't want to talk to him.

"Brother Dongyao—" Zhang Yang suppressed the shame in his heart, clenched his fists and closed his eyes and shouted loudly.

"Um--"

Zhang Yang opened his eyes and saw the corners of Li Dongyao's mouth curled up, and Bai Fang.

"My hand hurts." Zhang Yang said.

"..." The corners of Li Dongyao's mouth just turned down again, and he glanced at Zhang Yang apologetically.Zhang Yang's right hand was carefully placed on his lap, and he was also supported by his left hand.

"It's all because of you, you drove too fast on purpose just now!" Zhang Yang said again.

"I'm sorry." Li Dongyao felt that he had just done it.

"I forgive you!" Zhang Yang replied generously.

"..." Li Dongyao suddenly felt like he had been tricked.

Zhang Yang at the side happily hummed the tune he learned from the elder sister of the Miao family in the next village.

When the car drove into the village again, it was already half dark, the village was dotted with sparse yellow lights, and the smell of food wafted from every household.Zhang Yang, who had been sleeping with his eyes squinted, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly opened his eyes and asked Li Dongyao, "How long did you drive from Guiyang to Xikou?"

"It's almost ten hours. I heard that eight hours is enough. I went the wrong way." Li Dongyao replied.

Zhang Yang fell silent after listening.Li Dongyao looked at him, wondering what he was thinking.

When the car entered the village, the road narrowed. Li Dongyao drove carefully, trying to avoid chickens and ducks running around on the side of the road, as well as children who came forward to watch out of curiosity.

When Li Dongyao stopped the car and waited for the two fat ducks to sway slowly across the road, the silent Zhang Yang suddenly asked him, "Is this the first time you drive a mountain road at night?"

"Well, yes." Li Dongyao nodded.

"Are you afraid?" Zhang Yang asked.

Li Dongyao smiled softly: "I was more afraid when the car flew under the bridge in the morning." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Yang almost muttering: "Stupid!"

Halfway through, the two ducks stopped in the middle of the road.Li Dongyao pointed at them and smiled: "Did you say them?"

Zhang Yang glared at him, leaned over to his side, and slammed the car loudly.But no matter how he pressed it, the two ducks stood firmly in the middle of the road, and one even lay down comfortably.

Until a boy rushed out from the next room, quickly chased away the ducks, and stood on the side of the road to signal that they could leave.Li Dongyao lowered the car window and shouted thank you to the boy, who turned around shyly and ran into the house.He heard Zhang Yang whispering next to him, "Don't do this in the future, it's not worth it."

"Why, do you feel distressed?" After Li Dongyao finished speaking, Zhang Yang turned his face away from the car window.

"I feel sorry for your shit! I was afraid that you would fall into a ravine in the middle of the night and die, and I would not be allowed to act in the movie again. Thank you!" Zhang Yang said insincerely.He looked at the lights of the houses outside the window. Although they were not bright enough, they looked warm and homely.

"When I arrived in Guiyang, I planned to find someone to drive me over the next day. But when I received a call from Li Rong, she said that your hand was broken and it was serious. She also sent you a photo, which looked really serious. I Even driving here at night, most of them are highways, but the road to Xikou is a bit difficult to walk, and the navigation is wrong, and there is a fork." Li Dongyao said in that flat tone again, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be more ordinary matter.

Only those who listen will understand how much danger is hidden behind the sentence "it's a bit difficult to walk".The roads into the mouth of the stream are winding mountain roads. If you are not careful, you will fall into the valley and die without a whole body.Even experienced local drivers dare not drive into the mountains at night easily.

"Li Rong is so troublesome!" Zhang Yang scolded.

"She also cares about you." Li Dongyao said.

Zhang Yang was silent again.

The car drove through a narrow road between two ponds. Li Dongyao's driving skills were really good. On this narrow road, he could actually accelerate.The night is gradually getting thicker, and the place illuminated by the headlights is full of faint night fog.

Zhang Yang looked at the hazy night in front of him, and said lightly again: "What can you do? You are not a doctor. My hand is really broken, and you can't help."

Li Dongyao let out a long sigh.After a long time, Zhang Yang heard his deep and slow voice: "Two people are better than one."

Especially after a person is injured, the body needs healing, but the heart needs it even more.
