The warm life of farming

The river was icy cold, Mu Yuan jumped out of the water, gasping for breath, dragging his weak body and tightening his backpack, he swam to the bank and lay down, his frightened heart was beating violently.The irregular-sized stones on the river beach hurt his body, but Mu Yuan didn't care about them at the moment.His heart was pounding, recalling the scene just now, Mu Yuan only felt his legs were a little weak at the moment.

Mu Yuan had just passed the college entrance examination, and his high school buddies were about to part ways, so they decided to organize a graduation trip.After choosing a lot of tourist attractions, I finally decided to go to Xishuangbanna Primeval Forest Park in Yunnan.The scenery on the mountain was pleasant, and the group got excited about playing. Regardless of the tour guide's persuasion, Mu Yuan reached a bulge above the waterfall after a few climbs.That stone is just a place where only one person can stand, and 4 meters below the foot is a deep pool of water.

The tour guide was terrified watching from below, and kept shouting for him to come down, but the waterfall was too loud and Mu Yuan couldn't hear it from above, so he posed a few poses to his friends beside the waterfall, after his buddies told him After taking the photo, I was about to come down, but who would have thought that my foot slipped, and I fell down before I could yell.The pool water was cold, and as soon as Mu Yuan fell into it, he felt a suction pulling him down. At this moment, he was already flustered, and he was already dizzy from holding his breath.Seeing that this breath was about to be unbearable, the attraction suddenly disappeared, and Mu Yuan rushed out of the water with a few thumps, and only then did the opening scene begin.

Feeling that his legs were no longer weak, Mu Yuan slowly stood up with his hands on his hands and looked around.I am on a river beach, and in front of me is the river I just came out of. The river is turbulent, and the surface of the river is only about ten meters. The river is crystal clear, and the deepest part of the river is only about 2 meters deep.Across the river is a dense forest. Turning around and looking, there is also a small forest behind you, but you can vaguely see a few paths.Mu Yuan was already puzzled at this moment. He remembered that he fell from the waterfall and fell into the pond. How did he come out of the water in the blink of an eye and come here?

After taking two steps and looking around, I really couldn't figure it out.The somewhat bewildered head has slowly recovered, and hastily ran to the mountaineering bag to find the mobile phone.The backpack is not waterproof, it has been soaked in the river water for a long time, and the inside is already soaked. Mu Yuan's mobile phone is not waterproof, so it can no longer be used after soaking in the water.Mu Yuan looked at the wet mobile phone and wanted to cry, but at this moment he really realized what it meant to be so ineffective every day.

Mu Yuan spread out the contents of the backpack, packed up some usable things, and threw away the other things that were unusable after being soaked in water.The mobile phone and wallet were soaked in water, so they put them and wet clothes on a flat stone to dry.The ones in the bag that are not afraid of water include a fruit knife, a folding umbrella, a few band-aids and some food.Because Mu Yuan's itinerary today was to go up on the same day and come down on the same day, they packed lightly and didn't bring anything in their bags, mainly food and water.

Wet clothes were drying in the sun, Mu Yuan didn't dare to wander around in his underpants, so he found a shady place

Sit and think about what to do next.After calming down, I felt that I would be here now. This is completely unreasonable. It is said that from falling into the water to coming out of the water, the total time to hold your breath is less than 1 minute, even if you rush down the pool. Yes, that won't go too far.But looking at the mountains around and in the distance now, there is no shadow of the waterfall at all, not to mention the long time since his accident, the tour guide and his friends just walked slowly looking for him, and it should appear by now.The summer sun was fierce, and the clothes dried quickly. Repressing the restlessness and panic in his heart, Mu Yuan put on his clothes, packed his backpack and walked up the river.

It was already past noon, but An's family in Xujia Village hadn't had lunch yet.An's family fled from other places to Xujia Village after the severe drought 10 years ago. The severe drought that year caused crop failure in many places, and refugees from all over the world came here.After the village where An's family lived was in distress, Father An escaped with his wife and 4-year-old An Ran in order to prevent the whole family from starving to death.All the way to the south, begging along the street, and finally settled down in Xujia Village.But An Ran's mother was exhausted during the escape. When An Ran was 10 years old, she left after giving birth to her younger brother, An Xiaoyu. It was even more difficult for An's family to live without a woman.

Xujia Village is not rich, and every household's annual income from farming is just enough to live on.There is a family living on the west hillside of Xujia Village, which is Aunt Xu's family.At that time, Aunt Xu’s son went out to fight and never came back, so her daughter-in-law went out to look for it, and she never came back. As a result, Aunt Xu and her grandson were left at home. .

When Father An and his family first arrived in Xujia Village, Aunt Xu saw that they were pitiful, so she helped and rented some of the family's land to Father An. Later, the An family settled down next to Aunt Xu's house. , the two became neighbors.Now that An Xiaoyu is 4 years old, she no longer needs to be watched by An Ran all the time, and An Ran has also started to follow her father to help with the work.When I was really busy, I put An Xiaoyu at Aunt Xu's house next door.

It is already the first ten days of June, and it is the time when they are busy harvesting wheat. An's father An and An Ran are naturally very busy. It is already past noon and there is no time for lunch.After a few days of hard work, the wheat is almost harvested, and after a busy afternoon, the wheat is all harvested.An Ran went back home first, went to Aunt Xu's house next door to fetch An Xiaoyu back, and then went to the kitchen to make lunch.

Cut the potatoes into pieces and fry them in the pan, then add water and simmer slowly on a low heat. When the stew is almost rotten, break the steamed buns into pieces and throw them in. After turning them over twice, cover the pot and wait. Father An eats as soon as he comes back. It's not a good meal, but it's enough to eat a belly bag in An's house.After cooking, An Ran started to tidy up the house, first cleaned the yard, fed the two hens at home, and then sorted out the clothes that needed to be washed, ready to take them to the river beach to wash after dinner.

Anjia's life is simple. After experiencing the severe drought, the only thing he wants is to live in peace and security in the future.Father An came back soon, and after the family finished eating, An Ran cleaned up the dishes.Because there wasn't much life left in the field, Father An went by himself, An Ran took An Xiaoyu and locked the door with the dirty clothes at home, and headed to the river beach.When they arrived at the river beach, An Ran started to wash clothes, while An Xiaoyu played beside her.

Speaking of Mu Yuan's side, Mu Yuan has been walking along the river beach for nearly an hour. Because of his weak heart, he is already exhausted and sweaty, but he is unwilling to stop.I couldn't use my mobile phone because it was soaked in water, and I didn't know what time it was, but I knew it was time to have lunch after looking at the sun, but I didn't have any appetite at all, so I just drank a few sips of water.

Looking at the river leading to nowhere in front of him, Mu Yuan already vaguely understood that he was probably no longer in Xishuangbanna Primeval Forest Park in Yunnan, but he didn't want to believe that such a weird thing would happen.Looking at the woods next to him, Mu Yuan didn't know whether he should change his way. The river beach was no longer visible in front of him. He couldn't walk on the river, but he was worried that he would get lost in the woods if he changed his way. By that time, I'm afraid I'm really going to be finished.But it was absolutely unwise to go up the mountain along the river. In the end, Mu Yuan gritted his teeth, picked up his backpack, and started to return along the same path along the river beach.

Originally, I didn't feel anything because I went up the mountain with a momentum, but now I walked back, I just felt weak, but Mu Yuan also knew that if he couldn't go down the mountain at night, it would be troublesome. It is very dangerous for people without any experience in wild survival.After more than an hour's journey, Mu Yuan was about to go back to the original point. Turning the corner in front of him was the river beach where he came out of the water. At this moment, Mu Yuan suddenly heard someone shouting.

"Xiao Yu, don't run far away."

Mu Yuan didn't care about his sore legs at this moment, and ran forward with all his strength, and saw someone when he turned the corner.The man didn't seem very big, and there was a child standing beside him.The man was squatting by the river and didn't know what he was doing.At this moment, Mu Yuan only felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and shouted to the man while running: "Hey~~~~, hello!~~~"

While An Ran was washing clothes, she had to turn her head to look after her younger brother from time to time. The 4-year-old child was just naughty.An Ran called the younger brother who had run away to come back to her side, just as she picked up a piece of clothing, she heard someone shouting something, she hurriedly raised her head to look in the direction of the sound.I saw a young boy in strange clothes, waving his arms, running towards him with a full face of excitement.

An Ran quickly stood up and hugged her younger brother.At this time, Mu Yuan had already run to the front, and said quickly: "Hi, hello, please help me, I am a tourist, I accidentally fell into the river from the mountain, do you have a mobile phone and lend it to me?" Do it, my phone is soaked

The water didn't work anymore! "

An Ran hugged her younger brother and said vigilantly: "Who are you? What is a mobile phone?" He looked at Mu Yuan while talking.

When Mu Yuan first saw someone appearing, he was overwhelmed with surprise and didn't pay attention to it. Only when he heard the boy asking this question did he feel something was wrong.The boy in front of him looked to be about 11 or 2 years old. His long hair was tied behind his head, and he was wearing rough linen clothes with patches. He was holding a thin child in his arms, and his eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion. Own.

"Uh..." Mu Yuan also knew that he had scared others, "Where is your adult? Where do you have a phone? I want to make a call."

An Ran frowned, looked at Mu Yuan and said, "I really don't know what you're talking about, what is the phone? I've never heard of it."

Mu Yuan just felt that it didn't make sense with a child, so he asked, "Where's your adult?"

"Daddy works in the fields, what do you need to ask Daddy?"

"The thing is, I came here on a trip with my friends, but later I got separated from them and lost my way. Could you please take me out?"

Seeing that Mu Yuan's eager expression didn't seem to be fake, An Ran thought for a while and said, "That's fine, just wait for a while, I'll go and pack my things."

Mu Yuan said with great joy: "Thank you so much!"

An Ran put down her younger brother and went to the river to tidy things up and said to Mu Yuan, "Come with me."

When An Xiaoyu saw a stranger, she was extremely timid. She followed closely beside An Ran and did not dare to run around. She secretly glanced at Mu Yuan from time to time.

Mu Yuan is in a comfortable mood at the moment, and he feels good about everything he looks at, even when he sees the dirty and thin child in front of him who keeps peeking at him, he also feels very cute.Mu Yuan asked An Ran: "I'm Mu Yuan, what's your name? Why did your parents let you bring such a young brother out to do laundry?"

An Ran said: "My name is An Ran, and this is my younger brother An Xiaoyu. My father is working in the fields at the moment, and I always do the laundry at home."

"Uh..., what about your mother?"

"Mom? But mother?" An Ran said, "My mother passed away after giving birth to my younger brother a few years ago."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Mu Yuan said apologetically.

"It's nothing." An Ran smiled and said nothing.Mu Yuan's clothes are weird, no matter how he speaks or dresses, he doesn't look like a Dazhou person. An Ran is guessing in his heart at this moment, thinking that Mu Yuan is from Yilan, because it seems that there is a custom in a certain place in Yilan to cut his hair very short.

There was no more talking on the road, Mu Yuan would now be in the mood to look at the surrounding scenery.The trees are dense, and it will be almost

It took nearly 15 minutes to get out of the forest. An Ran took Mu Yuan to a wide road and asked, "Going forward is Xujia Village, and it will take three hours to drive north along this official road to drive an ox cart. From the county seat, where are you going, my lord?"

"Huh?" Mu Yuan was stunned. "3 'hours'?"

An Ran misunderstood that Mu Yuan was afraid of not being able to make it in time, and then thought for a while and said: "It's Shen Shi now, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the county today, if you don't mind, you can stay at my house for a night, and then you can go on your way tomorrow morning. "

Mu Yuan was in a daze, but felt that the child spoke in an old-fashioned way.But you can almost understand what he said.Mu Yuan was really worried when he heard that it would take 3 hours or 6 hours to get to the county seat.

Mu Yuan asked, "Do you only have bullock carts here? If you leave tomorrow morning, what time will there be a shuttle bus?"

"What is a shuttle bus?" An Ran was very confused, even the 4-year-old An Xiaoyu looked at Mu Yuan with wide eyes.

"..."

Mu Yuan finally waved his hand and said weakly: "Forget it, I really don't know what to do now, so I can only trouble you first."

An Ran nodded, and took Mu Yuan and his younger brother to Xujia Village.

At this time, most people in the village were working in the fields, and Mu Yuan hadn't met anyone during his walk.

Mu Yuan hadn't let go of his brows since he entered Xujia Village, at first glance he thought he had accidentally broken into another world.Mu Yuan grew up in the city since he was a child. Later, his father hired a fish farm and ran a farmhouse in the countryside. Only then did he have the opportunity to take a look at the countryside, and he probably knew what the countryside was like.But look here again, the courtyard with earth walls, the house seems to be made of earth, and the roof seems to be straw.

At that time, there were so many people who fled, that Xujia Village was considered a large village, with more than 100 households in the village, and the layout of the village was not neat.The houses under the hillside are better, there is a family about [-] meters apart, and the houses on the hillside are even more scattered.An Ran's house was built on the hillside, and there was only Aunt Xu's family a hundred meters away.

Arriving at An Ran's house, An Ran greeted Mu Yuan to enter the house, and saw that there was no water in the house, so An Ran had to go out to fetch water again.Mu Yuan couldn't see how such a young child could carry water, so he offered to help, but An Ran refused, saying that he didn't dare to bother the guest, so he grabbed the pole, picked up the bucket and went out.

Mu Yuan went into the room and put down his bag to look around. The lighting in the room was very poor, and the living room was already dark. When he looked inside, he couldn't see anything clearly because of the darkness, so he stood up and walked to the yard.Anjia's yard is large but there are few houses, so it looks empty.There is a big tree that I don't know what kind of tree is planted in the yard, but it is growing very well.

As soon as Mu Yuan turned around, he saw An Xiaoyu

He was following him cautiously, and his eyes were looking at him curiously.An Xiaoyu didn't seem to expect that Mu Yuan would turn around suddenly, but was startled, turned around and wanted to run away.Mu Yuan found it amusing, he stepped forward to hug An Xiaoyu and teased him, but Xiao Yu thought Mu Yuan was going to hit him, so he screamed in fright.

Mu Yuan was having fun here, and didn't hear the sound of the door being pushed open. He just thought the child in his arms was fun, and when he was about to scare him, he suddenly heard a loud shout:

"Who are you? Let go of my little Yu?"

Mu Yuan was also taken aback and quickly let go of Xiao Yu. When he turned around, he saw a dark-skinned old man glaring at him with a sickle in his hands.
