Wearing a mountain village tuff

Except for a little water on his hands, Ye Baiyou almost returned empty-handed this time.

There are more than 50 dried loach hoarded in a large white cotton bag and placed in a basket hanging on the beam in the kitchen.

With that bit of corn, he should be able to last for a month and a half by himself.But now I picked up a tow bottle, and it's still a sick child.I'm afraid it will be difficult for half a month.

"Hey!"

Why did you soften up in the first place?

"Brother Ye, why are you sighing?" Chang An also fetched water from the big pannier on his back, but it was less than Ye Baiyou's.There are also some green leaves of weeds and thatch roots that Yebaiyou asked him to make.

There should always be one of them.

In the past, chickens were not necessarily eaten.

Ye Baiyou smiled with a thin face like a melon seed: "I'm just tired from walking."

"Then let's rest for a while before we go?" Chang An stopped, and the pannier behind him was like a huge tumor, crushing his shoulders.

But the child's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were more lively than before.

Ye Baiyou was very pleased that it was not in vain that he had spent so much talking to tell him the story of the Palace of the King of Hades.

I came out early today, and the sun was still burning outside.

The two of them stood under the tree, which was more comfortable than the open place outside.

"No, I'm not as tired today as yesterday." Ye Baiyou gritted his teeth and stepped into the light.Ye Baiyou quickened his pace as his eyelids trembled from the heat.

"You go home first, didn't we just agree to go and see Grandpa Zhao together?"

"Hmm." The light in Li Changan's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Arriving home quickly, Ye Baiyou checked the sick child at home as usual.Seeing someone asleep, Ye Baiyou closed the door and walked into the village.

The foot landed on the road full of yellow mud, and after a few steps, half of the shoes seemed to be re-dyed.The dust picked up, Ye Baiyou covered his mouth and nose, and walked quickly.

"Brother Ye! You are here, let's go."

After Li Changan put the things away, he stood in front of his yard and waited.Now when Ye Baiyou came, he ran over directly.

Ye Baiyou tilted the umbrella in his hand slightly. "I don't even use an umbrella, and I have to drink more water when it's hot."

"Grandfather is not at home, I am anxious."

"Okay, remember next time."

Ye Baiyou treats this child like his younger brother.

There was no delay when all the people gathered together, and they walked more than half along the spacious dirt road in the village. Grandpa Zhao Quan's family lived at the corner of the dirt road.

Ye Baiyou looked across from his house, and the rows of fruit trees planted by the river bank were so dry that they had no leaves.

It is also a pity.

"Brother, come in quickly!" Li Changan opened the fence of the yard familiarly.

Li Dengke was sitting in the main room with his hands on the table, his head hanging down as if he was asleep.

Li Changan couldn't bear to see this silent appearance the most, he was startled, and hurriedly spoke out. "Grandfather!"

The old man shivered and opened his eyes.

Seeing that it was his grandson, he said slowly in a voice like an old cow: "What are you yelling at! Your grandpa and I are not dead yet."

"What about Grandpa Zhao?"

The old man stroked his sparse white beard:

"I fed some food and went in, and I'm asleep now." After saying this, he stared at Chang'an again, with lingering fear in his heart, "You boy, what you said in the morning really gave me a big jump!"

Li Changan scratched his head. "Grandpa, I didn't lie."

Li Dengke patted his grandson's head like a melon.When it was over, he quickly waved to Ye Baiyou: "Brother Youyou, it's not hot standing outside."

"I'll see if I can help you."

"No, we old men are already very grateful for the food you brought back."

"I can live without anything to eat, not to mention that I have an extra grain now."

Ye Baiyou thought of the person who was still lying at home, and felt disgusted and grateful.

"Old man, it was brought out by the man at home."

"I can't take my body with me."

"Yes yes yes, I want to thank him very much." Li Dengke moved Li Chang'an who was standing in front of him away, "Go to see you Grandpa Zhao, don't meddle in what adults say and children."

Li Changan turned around and muttered: "Obviously you said that brother Ye is also a child."

Ye Baiyou doesn't stay much longer, there are still things waiting for him at home. "Since I'm fine for the time being, I'll go back first."

"Okay, Chang'an will go back too, I'll just stay here."

Coming out of the two huts side by side, cooking smoke has already risen from the hut next door.

"That's Grandpa Baiguanshan's house." Li Changan pointed to the next door.

Bai Guanshan, an old man with a beard and a fierce face.The old man was a hunter when he was young, and later moved down from the mountain after having children and grandchildren.Even in his old age, his body is still tough.

After Ye Baiyou passed through, he was either on the mountain or on the way up the mountain.This is the first time here.

"Go home, Brother Ye."

Outside the hut, Ye Baiyou and Li Changan stood side by side under an umbrella, tall and short.

They were both thin, with blond hair and dark skin.You can tell at a glance that he is from a certain place.

"Tomorrow we have to change to another mountain." Ye Baiyou discussed tomorrow's plan with Chang'an.

"Why don't you go to the mountain where I fetch water?"

The mountain where Li Changan fetches water is a small hill sandwiched between two big mountains, like a small fungus that grows by the side of a big fungus.

"It's also near the outskirts of the mountain. You've been there so many times before, so you shouldn't be able to find anything."

"Then... Brother Ye, do you want to go deep into the mountains?"

Hushan stretches for thousands of miles, and the highest peak reaches the sky.

In places shrouded in thick fog and water vapor all year round, there are big bugs, wolves and black bears.There was no drought in the early years, and Li Changan was often so frightened by the howling tigers and wolves in the mountains that he couldn't sleep.

What adults like to say most is that if a child is disobedient, the tiger on the mountain will come down the mountain and catch the child into the mountain.

But fortunately, those things only move in the deep mountains.Except for wild boars destroying the farmland at the foot of the village, the rest of the time is quiet and happy.

It's not that people who never went to the deep mountains, but those who were still young and middle-aged at that time, went in and never came out again.

For example, Grandpa Baiguanshan's eldest son - the most powerful hunter in the village at that time.

Since then, no one has dared to go into the mountains.

"Drought years, there is not much food outside, and they will go to the mountains."

"Originally we went up the mountain from the north, but this time we changed to the west."

Li Changan clenched his fists, his eyes were firm: "Okay, I understand."

-

After returning home, there was still no movement in the bedroom near the main room.

Ye Baiyou opened the door and glanced, not sure if he had fallen asleep or fainted.

Conditions are not good, eat two meals a day.Ye Baiyou was not as stingy as before, and cooked him some loach and corn porridge.He himself eats three steamed loach with a little shabu-shabu water.

The rice bowl was brought into the room, and Ye Baiyou sat at the table with her share in front of her.

On the palm-sized rough porcelain plate, the three-day loach was neatly placed horizontally.The meat on the top is rotten, and there are thin bones exposed at the break.

It doesn't look very good, but it's fine to eat.

In the porcelain bowl next to it, boiled water for Shen Wujing's porridge was rinsed, with a hazy white color.It can be vaguely seen that there are more than a dozen grains of corn on the bottom of the bowl.

After a tiring day, no matter how unpalatable something is put in your mouth, it always adds a little unique taste.

Ye Baiyou ate slowly, his gaze was captured by the person on the bed again.

Why is a big man so good-looking.

Even after so many days of suffering, this person is still as gentle as jade and as soft as a moon.To compare myself, it is the big white crane and the little skinny monkey.

In his previous life, he had a slim waist and long legs, handsome and handsome.

Ye Baiyou's thoughts drifted, and she returned to the current situation.

"Hey!" He sighed heavily.I can't support myself anymore, so what's the use of paying attention to these things?

Ye Baiyou propped his face and gnawed on the loach, his clear eyes never moved away from the person on the bed.

No way, this man is really good-looking.It looks good enough to eat.

After eating by himself, he served the uncle again.

Ye Baiyou's day ended like this.

-

At Yin time, the sky will be bright.

The fog in the forest is misty, and the fallen leaves are piled up.The mountains are filled with fog, and the long-lost moisture is surging in the air.

Ye Baiyou stood in front of her courtyard and watched from afar.The clouds and mist condensed under the cloud layer and formed into clusters. One end involved the dense forest below, and the other end dispersed in mid-air.

The farther you go, the more you can only see a little gray shadow.There are higher mountains over there.

It's been a long time, and it's the first time that Ye Baiyou saw real clouds and mist on the distant mountains.

"What a beautiful water, why don't you move it here."

While waiting for Li Changan, he suddenly heard a bang in the room.

Ye Baiyou was startled, at first he thought it was something from the kitchen, but it turned out that it was in Shen Wujing's room.Turning his footsteps, he hurried in.

"It's okay!"

When I opened the door, I saw a person lying on the ground!

"Hey! Brother, don't you hurt?" Ye Baiyou hurriedly stepped forward to help someone up.

As a result, the person closed his eyes tightly and looked unconscious.

"You're such an adult, how could you fall to the ground in your sleep!" Ye Baiyou said, struggling to help him up and put him on the bed.

After straightening up, he looked at his position carefully, then bent down and pushed him in against the man's waist.

When it was over, he propped up his waist and panted heavily, and was so weak that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Okay, now it won't fall."

After being taken care of, Ye Baiyou went out again.

The room was dim, and he didn't notice Shen Wujing's ruddy earlobes and trembling eyelashes at all.

Shame!

"Brother Ye!"

Before he walked out of the yard, Li Changan's young man's voice came from outside the fence.Excited, like a freshly caught fish bouncing in a sieve.

Ye Baiyou stood by the roadside waiting for him.

The young man had nothing on him, and he staggered and almost fell down.

"Slow down! Why don't you bring your things?" Ye Baiyou hurried up.

"Brother Ye..." The child quickly stopped in front of Ye Baiyou, unstoppable tears poured out.

"What happened?" Ye Baiyou's heart skipped a beat.

"Grandpa Zhao, Mr. Zhao has gone... woo..." the child choked up and finished, crying after holding back for a long time.Sobbing out of breath, hearing Ye Baiyou felt uncomfortable.

"Go and have a look." Ye Baiyou directly put the basket at the door, and followed the child to Mr. Zhao Quan's house.

Ye Baiyou walked in front, the child fell behind and wiped his tears.

Grandpa will be sad when he sees it. He is a man in the village and he wants to stand up.

Can't cry... woo...

Can't cry!

His eyes were reddened by the coarse cloth, Li Changan seemed unconscious, and pressed his eyes to suppress his tears.

Ye Baiyou walked very fast, walking turned into running.

Dust was flying under my feet, and my heart was as light as duckweed, and it couldn't fall into place.

So fragile...

Human life is so fucking fragile!
