Wind back to the farm

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Li Xia returned to Lihuaao with his uncle and aunt.

Xia Fir and Xia Shan were a little shy when they first met, but within 3 minutes they became intimate. Xia Xia led Xia Shan to have fun in the yard, and even dug out a rare bone to give to Xia Shan.

Li Xia this way.

Grandma and grandpa were elated when they saw him;

He was stunned to hear that he was discharged from the army.

But just staring in a daze, Li Xia has completed all the formalities, and has been traveling for half a year after leaving the army, what can they do.

Grandma asked three times with a dark face, "Do you really want to farm at home?"

Li Xia: "Yes."

"Who said you won't change your mind?"

"to not fix."

"Promise you won't regret it?"

"Absolutely no regrets."

"Snapped."

With a clear and pleasant slap, grandma slapped the table and jumped off the kang with a smile on her face: "That's great, that's great, Hua Mi won't leave in the future, and I won't have to face your father's old face every day anymore. You can see our Huami’s tender little faces every day, and listen to our Huami’s singing and whistling every day.”

She waved at her aunt: "Yunqiu, let's go, there are washed shepherd's purse in the kitchen, let's make dumplings for supper, let's celebrate."

Li Xia hurriedly raised his hand: "Grandma, I just ate a big bowl of wild vegetable noodles in the store, and my aunt made me this~~thick egg pancake." He compared the height of half a foot with his hand.

Grandma looks at aunt.

Aunt nodded: "I'm so happy, the scrambled eggs are a bit too much."

Li Xia doesn't like meat very much, it's a natural thing, he was like this when he was a child, he turned his head when he smelled meat, so what his aunt cooks for him today is vegetarian.

Grandma sat back on the kang disappointedly: "That's fine, we'll eat it tomorrow."

Grandpa hummed unhappily. He was full for dinner, but he still wanted to eat dumplings, but the old woman wouldn't make them for him. His status in the eyes of the old woman was no match for Li Xia.

The next morning, Li Xia ate dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and egg.

Grandma and grandpa wanted to talk to him about the farm in detail after dinner, Li Xia put down the bowl and said, "I'll talk about it when I get back, I'll go to Shenyizuka to play for a while", called Shangqixia and Shanxia and ran away.

Li's house was built at the... south foot of Fenghui Ridge. It seems inaccurate to say that, because Fenghui Ridge is actually a ring-shaped mountain with a diameter of about [-] kilometers, and this ring is very standard and perfect. It can be seen from Daji Ridge. , just a section north of Fenghui Ridge.

Li Xia's family is on the southern slope of this mountain, facing Daji Ridge across the mountain.

In the center of the basin formed by Fenghuiling, there is a huge hill, shaped like an upside-down bowl, with dense forests, lush flowers and grass, countless flying birds, and the singing of birds is endless all year round. This is Shenyi Tomb.

A glistening river flows slowly around the Kamizuka, like a shining diamond necklace on the Kamizuka.

It is now late October, the autumn sun is clean and clear, gently shining on the Shenyizuka, sumac, persimmon, maple, tallow red like fire, eucalyptus, yellow elm, pagoda tree, mulberry, apricot, pear Trees, oak trees, and green sandalwood are as yellow as gold, pine trees, cypress trees have green leaves, persimmon trees, pear trees, apples, and hawthorns are full of fruits, chaffinches fly in groups, pheasants are singing, squirrels are jumping...

Standing by the river, Li Xia was dazzled by the sight, waved to Qiu Xia and Shan Xia: "Go." He took the lead and rushed down.

The Lihua River is more than [-] meters wide, but the water is not deep, and the stones under the water are clearly visible. In several places where Li Xia often comes and goes, there are sparsely placed stones slightly above the water surface, which can be regarded as bridges. up.

He leaped across the river lightly stepping on the stones, while Chuxia and Sugixia spread their hooves across the river, a man and two dogs yelled and rushed into the picturesque scenery of Shenyizuka.

There are many small animals in Shenyizhong. Before walking two miles away, Cathata and Shanxia chased away five rabbits, three broods of pheasants, and several squirrels squirming in fright. In front of someone's nest, look at the eggs inside to claim credit.

Li Xia patted Qiu Xia on the head and said: "Our family has eggs, this, let them hatch young pheasants or snakes, if you eat all the eggs, next year no one will play with you."

These two have been well-fed since they met him, so they have no obsession with food, flicking their tails and continuing to drill into the woods, Li Xia followed behind whistling without a sound.

Shanxia was trapped in the car for more than half a year, at this time he released his instincts and went on a rampage. Wherever he and Chuxia went, birds circled and sang in the sky like dark clouds.

After crawling on hands and feet for two hours, Li Xia was sweating all over. When he saw an old persimmon tree thick enough to hug two people and an old pear tree next to it that was suitable for sleeping, Li Xia said to the two: "You guys Let's go play, I want to rest for a while."

Shanxia seemed worried, seeing that Lixia refused to leave, and Cathata pushed his head against him and he didn't move.

Li Xia patted its head: "For me, there is no safer place than here, don't worry."

Shanxia rubbed his hand, and then continued to drill into the forest with Tongxia, and after a while, Lixia heard the panicked "cuckoo" sound of pheasants, and flocks of birds rushed to the sky again.

Li Xia took a few deep breaths comfortably, and jumped onto the old persimmon tree with two or three puffs.

The persimmon tree is so beautiful right now, but the fruit is not yet at its best. If you want to eat raw persimmons that are sweet but not astringent, you must wait until they are completely soft. For persimmons to be naturally soft, it usually takes [-] months later.

However, there are occasional exceptions in years with a lot of rain and colder temperatures. This year is colder. Li Xia wants to try to find it.

After searching for a long time, there wasn't even a soft one.

Li Xia whistled, expressed his regret, and happily jumped off the persimmon tree and onto the tallest branch of the old pear tree: the fruit that grows on the top of the tree and enjoys the most sunshine and rain is the best. eat.

The pears on the top of the tree are big and yellow, just looking at them makes one's tongue salivate, but Li Xia has been spoiled for a long time. After comparing for a long time, he finally picked out the two most satisfying ones, and he took one in his hand and held the other in his mouth. , Go down to a triangular branch and sit down, savoring slowly.

After eating the pears, he took off his coat, found a relatively flat branch to lie down, raised his legs, and enjoyed the sunshine and breeze.

After the age of 16, he has been to many places, many of which are said to be one of the most beautiful scenery on this planet, but in Li Xia's heart, no place can be as beautiful as Lihuaao and Shenyizhong. Although, Lihuaao is just a small valley that is not known to outsiders, and Shenyizhong is just a big hill that is far from majestic and magnificent.

Only here can Li Xia truly enjoy himself.

Jiuzhou Mountain is one hundred and one hundred thousand square kilometers, with countless peaks, most of which have no names. The reason why Shenyi Tomb is an exception is because it is a mountain with a story.

Grandma said that this is the tomb of the gods.

When he was a child, Li Xia thought that "Shenyi" was the clothes of gods, so the tomb of Shenyi should be "the tomb of gods and clothes".

But grandma said: "The gods don't need any clothes, they have clothes as soon as they think about it. The meaning of god clothes is the flesh and body of gods.

Of course, gods are so powerful that they can live without their bodies, but they still like to appear in front of mortals with different beautiful bodies. The bodies they have used are like the clothes worn by mortals.

The things used by the gods are so precious, even if they are old, if the gods don't want them anymore, they must not be thrown away, they must be buried in a grave, respectfully. "

There are so many bugs in this statement that people will collapse, but if you are not obsessed with being a textual research party, but willing to be a happy and brainless grandma fan, this kind of statement is quite attractive, at least "Shenyi" sounds very beautiful , It sounds much better than "flesh, body".

Therefore, Li Xia readily accepted the legend.

And because his grandma just chanted a few words of this story when he had nothing to do, Li Xia was gradually brainwashed, and really expected that the buried one would be a fairy—the kind of fairy who has magic power and responds to requests.

So when he was playing in the Shenyi Tomb when he was a child, he would occasionally make a wish to the imaginary immortal with a white beard, something like "God, please grow a few hawthorn trees on your grave. The hawthorn is sour and sweet, and it is very delicious. Make sure you eat it once and think twice."

"God, grow a few watermelons, or else I have to go to the Lihua River to drink water when I'm thirsty. Running so far back and forth will delay my play."

"Look, god, this fruit is called a cherry, and it's very delicious. You should grow a few."

"Look, god, this is a strawberry. Although it looks unreliable with its seeds growing outside its belly, it tastes good. Come and get some."

……

Later, Shenyizuka really grew hawthorns, watermelons, cherries, strawberries, etc., and they were more delicious than those sold outside.

When he saw the glowing red hawthorn for the first time, Li Xia ran home in fright and said to his grandmother: "The gods have appeared. He really grew a large hawthorn tree on his grave."

Grandma followed Li down to the Shenyi Tomb to have a look, poked his head and said, "What kind of fairy has appeared? Isn't this your favorite place to play? It's the seeds you dropped from the hawthorn that grew out after eating."

It was only then that Li Xia found out that grandma herself didn't believe in the legend of the Shenyi Tomb.

Because there are no celebrities in this area, no places of interest, and local products have no special characteristics. Fenghui Ridge is only a little higher than those hills in the north, and it is not worth mentioning compared with the many famous mountains and rivers in Huaxia Kingdom, so The legend of the Shenyi Tomb is only known to people in Lihuaao and Dajiling. People outside have never even heard of Fenghuiling, let alone the Shenyi Tomb hidden in Fenghuiling's stomach.

The people in Lihua'ao and Dajiling are simple and honest, and no one has ever thought of making money out of legends.

Li Xia and his family wished that no one would know about it forever. They didn't want outsiders to rob their home, even turning it into a market.

The sun was warm and the mountain wind was gentle. Li Xia fell asleep unknowingly, and when he woke up, the sun was already slightly westward.

It was so comfortable, Li Xia didn't want to move, so he continued to lie down and think about the dream just now, in the dream, he turned into a huge and beautiful bird, on the hillside full of flowers... I don't know what to do.

"Why don't you know? Since it's a bird, it should be looking for food, right?" Li Xia muttered to himself.

"Hey, don't forage for food, just play." Thinking that a considerable part of the bird's food is soft worms, Li Xia shivered, giving himself a psychological hint.

An oriole landed on a branch above him, making a "beep, beep, beep". Li Xia smiled, and blew out a string of melodious whistles.

An oriole flapped its wings and disappeared.

Li Xia blew twice more, and said in the direction of Oriole's flight: "Better than singing, how can I be afraid of you?"

Shanxia covered herself with leaves and grass and called under the tree: "Wow, woof."

Catalpa clung to the tree with its front legs: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

Li Xia stretched his long waist and said, "Got it, let's go."

He wasn't hungry at all, and he wouldn't be in a hurry if he didn't go back to his grandparents. He used to play at Shenyizuka, basically for a day, and didn't return until it was dark.

But Chuxia was educated not to hunt the small animals of Shenyizuka, the two of them need to eat.

The temperature of the sun in late autumn is very comfortable, but it is a bit dazzling at noon. Li Xia got playful for a moment, broke off a few soft branches, and wove a wreath for his dog son Yigou to wear on his head.

The two big dogs like the new toy very much, and they are much more gentle when they run, for fear of knocking the garland off.

Arriving at the Lihua River, when Li Xia washed his face with the river water, his cell phone rang, it was Qi Xiuxian.

Li Xia quickly crossed the river and picked up the phone: "Brother Xiuxian, you can't make it so soon, can you?"

Qi Xiuxian said: "There are three people in the village office, and they have no objection to the mountains you want to rent, but they have no idea about the rent.

Sister Dexian said that the country still has subsidies for greening barren hills. Although our mountains are not barren hills, they look beautiful from a distance, but we don’t know that’s the case when we get closer. If you can transform our mountains into Lihuaao, It doesn't matter if you don't give money. "

Li Xia said: "Money must be given, and those mountains will definitely become better and better.

Tell me, how much is the one mu you negotiated?How to pay? "

Qi Xiuxian said: "We discussed it with several elders in the village, and we felt that it was inappropriate not to be able to harvest according to the mu."

Li Xia was surprised: "Then what is the charge?"

Qi Xiuxian said: "Mountain tops, one mountain top is five thousand a year."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Li Xia was choked by his own saliva, and he coughed several times before recovering, "A mountain top, five thousand a year, brother Xiuxian, if this spreads, others will think that you have taken bribes .”

Qi Xiuxian said: "You are talking about people who don't understand the situation. People who know the specific conditions of these mountains and understand the national forestry environmental protection law will certainly not think so.

Li Xia, do you really know how risky it is to lease tens of thousands of acres of ecologically fragile mountain land? "

Li Xia said: "Yes, don't worry, you will see a beautiful and profitable big farm in the future."

Qi Xiuxian said: "In this case, if you have time, come and meet with some senior elders in the village. This is a big matter. They have to talk to you in person before they can make a final decision."

Li Xia said: "Can I show the plan to some elders? I wrote it very detailed."

Qi Xiuxian said: "No problem, just bring a USB flash drive. Several elders also play computers. They think USB flash drives are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than paper."

Li Xia laughed: "Thank you for the reminder! I'll go there now."

Qi Xiuxian suddenly asked: "Flower fan, let me ask you, do you want to lease some of our village's cultivated land?"

Li Xia was surprised: "There is so little arable land here, is there anyone willing to rent it?"

Qi Xiuxian said: "Didn't you know that most of the young people in the village have jobs in the city, and the food is cheap. They spend one-third or less of a month's wages a year, and the food they buy is enough for the whole family for a year. So, in our village, apart from Mr. Zhengyang and his family, who have been seriously planting the land, the rest basically only plant one or two fractions of land for self-sufficiency in vegetables. Most of the cultivated land is either left uncultivated, or a few fruit trees are randomly planted, such as apples and peaches. , pears or something, I hope the sky will harvest them.

Several big elders in the village approached me because of this, and asked me to find a way, saying that it was not easy for our ancestors to cultivate the wasteland into the current cultivated land, and it would be a pity to abandon it.

But the young people in the village are very filial. They are willing to pay for the elders to buy food, and they don't want to make the elders suffer from farming, and the senior elders can't force people to farm. "

This kind of situation happened in the whole village of Huaxia Country, of course Li Xia knew about it, he asked: "So?"

Qi Xiuxian said: "So, when we were discussing those mountainous lands yesterday, I asked some senior elders by the way, if someone is willing to lease our cultivated land, would they be willing? Just pollute the environment and make garbage, they proposed to let you rent it together."

Li Xia laughed: "Brother Xiuxian, I want mountain land and cultivated land, just wait, I will be there within an hour."
