After this incident, Lu Baijing and his wife left the child in the village to live with his mother-in-law. In September, he started to go to school with his peers.

Lu Yuege was reluctant to part with his friends on the mountain, but after going to school, he loved reading more, and was deeply attracted by the world depicted in the book.

There is no school in their small village. They have to climb two mountains, and there is a school in a larger village at the foot of the mountain near the east. The children from the nearby villages all come here to go to school. They have to go over the mountains together every day. go to school.

Lu Yuege counts on the sand with branches. He is already 8 years old, and if he starts from preschool, it will take him another three years to climb the mountain.

The school in the village is not strictly controlled. When he was in the mountains, his parents taught him to write and count, so he skipped a grade and entered the third grade at the age of 8. Later, his grades were not bad. When he was 11 years old, he went directly to the village to study junior high school.

The village is farther away from the stockade, and they have to live in a dormitory, so they can only go home on weekends.

He bought a second-hand bicycle with the money he had saved from selling beans and herbs for several years. Every weekend, he rode his small, broken bicycle from the countryside, bumping back to the mountain for more than five hours, and then pushed the bicycle into a small cave. , Block the entrance of the cave with thorny branches, and then walk back to my home halfway up the mountain.

On weekends, I help my parents with some work, meet my friends, and rush back to school the next afternoon for evening self-study.

Most of the students in the school come from rural villages, and the villagers study late, so there is even a 5-year age difference between the students in a class.Meng Renfeng was almost five years older than him, in the same grade as him, but not in the same class.

Because Lu Yuege skipped a grade, he was two years younger than the average classmate in the class. The boys didn't want to call him by his first name directly. It sounded like "Brother Lu Yue". He was called Brother even though he was younger than them, so it wasn't occupied. It's cheap, so I just call him Lu Yue.In Mandarin, "Luyue" has the same pronunciation as "June", so it was later abbreviated as "June".

Lu Yuege's grades have always been at the upper-middle level in the class, and she is good-looking. She is the object of many young girls' crushes. There are even bold girls who say that they will marry him and have children with him after graduation.

Lu Yuege was a late bloomer. When he was a child, he only knew how to run around the mountains all day long. After studying, he only loved reading and still ran around the mountains.Therefore, he does not pay attention to other people's confessions, and has always followed the rules of middle school students, studying hard every day, respecting teachers and classmates, going to school on time, not smoking and fighting, and not having puppy love.

They are the only family on the mountain. He and Meng Renfeng have always played with animals. After school, his thoughts are far from those of other partners in the village, so although he can get along well with everyone, he is always alone. Go more.

Speaking of these love affairs, he only found out in the first year of junior high school that when he was born, his grandma told his fortune and arranged a baby marriage.When he was a child, he had heard other people talk about it. He always thought it was something adults said casually, so he didn't take it to heart.

Later he asked about it, and his parents said that it was indeed the case, and they gave him a silver bracelet as a token back then.

The object of the baby's kiss is Sister Qing, who is next door to the grandmother's house, who is five years older than him, and the relationship between the two is just a normal neighbor relationship. He doesn't like to play with girls, and Sister Qing also thinks he is a brat.

Lu Yuege begged her parents to dissolve the child marriage, but the parents naturally disagreed. At the beginning, they calculated that if they got married when they were adults, they would be rich and safe, so they decided on this child marriage.

He also said that he went away when he was 8 years old and came back without incident, mostly because of the girl's fate, so it is related to the safety of his life, and this baby relationship cannot be easily lifted.Later, it was my uncle Yan Yanping who came forward to finally break up the baby relationship.

Summer vacation is a holiday for children in the city to relax and play. For children in the countryside, in addition to several summer homework, it is also the hardest farming season of the year. Lu Yuege and Meng Renfeng packed their things as soon as they were on vacation. , Go home and work with your parents.

The soybeans were harvested at the beginning of July. When they returned home, they had to break the corn with their parents the next day. After the corn was harvested, they began to harvest rice and pull peanuts... At night, they had to write several summer homework. There is very little free time.

There was no wind in the past few days, the sun was high in the sky, and the weather was extremely hot. At eleven o'clock, the family stopped what they were doing and took a rest.

Lu Yuege tied the big buffalo to the mud pit under the tree, and then climbed to another tall and lush tree to rest. A little macaque jumped to his side with a few guavas. Lu Yuege touched the little monkey's head. Eating its fruit, lying on the broad branches and falling asleep.

Hearing someone calling his name vaguely, Lu Yuege woke up. Through the cracks in the leaves, he saw a few people with straw hats and horses standing in his peanut field. There were some objects and instruments tied to the horses' backs.

"Yuege, where are you?" Lu Baijing called him.

Lu Yuege slid onto the branch closest to the ground, "Here it is, what's the matter?"

Everyone looked at him.

Only then did Lu Yuege see that among the few people were three foreigners with high noses and deep eyes, a woman of medium build with brown curly hair and a camera hanging on her chest, and standing on her left were two tall and strong men leading a horse. They both had full beards, their light-colored hair was disheveled, and the hair on their arms was very fluffy. Lu Yuege murmured in his heart that these two people might have been transformed by a big black bear in the woods...

The other two young people and a middle-aged man spoke standard Mandarin, and they also carried a lot of equipment by heart. A young man with glasses was talking to three foreigners, and he seemed to be an interpreter.

Occasionally there will be some people from other provinces who speak pure Mandarin here to do scientific research, some come to study wild animals such as tigers and leopards, and some come to study flowers and plants, but it seems that this is the first time for foreigners to come here.

Lu Yuege had never met a foreigner, and they had never learned English in elementary school, so he had a hard time learning English when he entered junior high school. After one semester, he only knew the simplest things like "howareyou", "mynameisluyuge" and "thankyou". The most basic sentence.

Lu Yujing, the son of the village chief and Lu Yuege's fifth uncle, served as a guide in the team. He said with a smile, "June, these people are here to do research. Didn't you say that you have seen a deep cave? You come too." How about helping out as a guide? There is money for it."

Children wander in the mountains every day, and when they get home, they tell their adults that they saw tigers today, leopards today, a tree that five people can’t hug together, and went to a cave leading to the sea today. Lah... If this is what other children said, the adults would naturally not believe it, but they are dubious about Lu Yuege's words.

"Okay." Lu Yuege nodded, and then jumped directly from a branch more than two meters high to the ground.

Several foreigners exclaimed, "oh, coolboy!"

Lu Yuege greeted them nervously, "Hello, nice tomeet you! mynameis..."

Several foreigners shook hands with him very friendly, and they spoke very fast, not knowing what they were talking about.

The dark-skinned middle-aged man in the team smiled and bent down to Lu Yuege, "They said they were very happy to see you too, your action just now was so handsome. The little classmate is so handsome, what's your name, this year What grade are you in?"

The mountains and rivers here really support people, there is such a young boy with such a water spirit.

"Uncle, my name is Lu Yuege, and I am in the first grade of junior high school this year." Lu Yuege took off his hat and said shyly.His hair grows much faster than ordinary people. Usually, the school is not very strict, and he hasn’t cut it after going home for a month, so now his hair grows to the neck. During this time, the weather is too hot and he hastily tied it. up.

The young man with glasses was translating with a foreigner, and the middle-aged man handed him a piece of chocolate, "Oh, I'm in the first grade of junior high school at such a young age, no wonder I can speak English."

"Thank you uncle, no need..." Lu Yuege refused to take things from strangers, he waved his hands and declined, a red cloud appeared on his face, he was still very short at this time, and his face was tender, and he was often thought to be a primary school student, " ...only a little bit."

A little macaque squeaked and jumped onto his shoulder and snatched the chocolate away. Instead of running away, it just squatted on his shoulder, holding the chocolate in both hands and tearing and biting at the packaging bag. After a while, it really tore open. up.

"Wow, is this your monkey?" the young man with glasses asked in surprise.

"How can there be so many monkeys in the mountains? This child has been close to animals since he was a child, and he is not afraid of pythons with thick thighs." Lu Yujing laughed and rubbed Lu Yuege's head, "Why is the hair so long, like a little girl? .”

"Call my mom to cut it when school starts." Lu Yuege touched the little macaque's head, "Shall we go to that cave now? I'll take you there."

Lu Baijing on the side said, "Okay, then let Yuege take them there together, Ayu, how long are you going to go, and will you stay for dinner tonight?"

After another round of communication and translation, the young man wearing glasses said, "We will come out before dark, please prepare dinner for us, I don't know if it is convenient for Fang to stay overnight? We will pay you."

It is far away from the stockade, and the mountain road is steep. They can only park their cars in the stockade and walk here. There are many caves here, and they probably will stay for a few days.

"No trouble, no trouble, our place is simple, just don't dislike it." Lu Baijing and his wife respect educated people, not to mention that they have money to take. "The road is not easy to walk, you should pay attention to safety."

A bear man laughed and rubbed the top of Lu Yuege's head, "Letsgo!"

The team consisted of 8 people, including Uncle He and Brother Fang, geological experts from two provinces, and Xiao Xia, a caving coach and translator.Three M country cave experts Wendy, Andres, Wilson, and local guides Lu Yujing and Lu Yuege.

This generation is a typical karst landform, with many large and small karst caves, and there are several well-known tiankengs and natural bridges in X County next door. Although they are not as famous as tourist attractions in the country, the number of tourists from this province every year is also not counted. few.

Although the scenery in Hetian Township is not as good as other places, it is not bad. The government once wanted to support the economy and develop tourism here, but the money has been embezzled layer by layer and cannot be allocated for a long time. After it was repaired, the first small bus carrying more than 20 people fell off a cliff inexplicably on a very stable road section, causing heavy casualties. It was even in the news at that time.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or what, but then several groups of outsiders had a car accident in the vicinity. The rumors spread widely, and the outsiders all thought this place was very evil, and even fewer people wanted to visit here.

Lu Yuege led a group of people to climb over three mountains, and then walked towards several continuous mountains to the west. The soil at the bottom of the mountain was relatively fertile, so there were many and tall trees, and there were mostly bare stone walls and dwarf trees and shrubs as they went up.

The cave was halfway up the mountain, and the mountain road was very difficult to walk, so everyone tied their horses to the foot of the mountain, Lu Yujing and Lu Yuege opened the way ahead with hatchets, and the rest carried instruments up the mountain.

After walking for a long time, Lu Yuege stopped at a very hidden hole surrounded by shrubs and vines. He tore off the vines at the hole, revealing a narrow hole, "This is it."

This place was discovered by Lu Yuege two years ago.

Getting lost in the mountains at the age of eight didn’t scare him. As long as he had free time, he would often go into the mountains alone, climb the tallest trees, and walk around caves of all sizes. He didn’t dare to sneak into water caves at will. He and Meng Renfeng once dived into a large water hole, and a giant python muddied the water halfway. He pulled Meng Renfeng and struggled to find the exit with his last breath. Since then, he never dared to enter the water hole easily.

There are many leopard cats in this generation. Once he heard cats meowing, he found this cave. This cave looks very small and ordinary, but the main cave is very hidden. There is a hole in it, and it is also the biggest gap he has seen so far. dry cave.

Several scientific researchers were very excited. The tall Andres carefully lay down on the rock at the entrance of the cave, and his flashlight shone into the cave. Brother Fang translated, "Andres said it was all stone walls, and I didn't see the entrance you mentioned. .”

After Lu Yujing and Wilson cleaned up the plants at the entrance of the cave, everyone looked around and saw that it was just a very ordinary cave with a dimness of about six or seven square meters.
