man of oz

The entrance of the cave was approaching soon, and the light ahead was getting brighter, and the setting sun was hanging on the mountainside, reflecting the surface of the water as if it was covered with gold.

Lu Yuege rowed the rubber boat to the shore where the water surface was gentler, "It's not that amazing, this time I was lucky... Uh... In fact, many animals are more afraid of people, and they run away when they hear the noise."

"It's good luck for you, I scared half my life..." Finally standing on the land, Nongzijian took a deep breath, "How big is the largest snake in the world? It feels like this... It can be ranked, and the scales are so beautiful."

"It can't be ranked. Many pythons and anacondas are bigger than it... But it is considered big here. The biggest one I have seen before is thicker than an arm."

"..." Nongzijian could only feel trembling.

"I'm sorry, you were frightened, I really didn't expect to meet such a big snake..." After the excitement, Lu Yuege apologized again, Nongzijian was so afraid of snakes, it was because he didn't do a good job.

"I was so scared that I was about to have a heart attack. It's not that I'm too timid..." Nongzijian wiped off his cold sweat. After he recovered, he felt much better now.

In fact, with Lu Yuege by my side, it seems that there is really nothing to be afraid of, and I can still encounter such a thing that can be boasted for a lifetime... "Let's talk about what other magical creatures you have here, so I'm mentally prepared .”

"How can magical creatures be so easy to see?" Lu Yuege thought for a while, "When I was a child, I often saw a lot of strange things, but my parents said that I was thinking too much, it was my hallucination... ...Well, if you want to say the most amazing creature, it should be the savage."

Nongzijian was looking back at the golden cave illuminated by the waves, and when he heard the word "savage", he couldn't help but stand up a little, "Savage? Like the Shennongjia savage?"

As for Lu Yuege's mysterious physique, he had to believe it.

Lu Yuege deflated the rubber boat and rolled them up. They stood under a big lush banyan tree. The birds started up, and something landed on Nongzijian's shoulder with a clatter.

"I'm going! This bird is still bullying strangers!" Nongzijian picked up a leaf and scraped off the bird feces on his shoulder, and urged Lu Yuege, "Tell me about the savage."

"It happened when I first remembered it. I went to collect honey with my father and saw it. It had messy hair, no clothes, crawled and jumped on all fours like many animals, climbed trees as nimbly as a monkey, and swished like a monkey. It's gone in an instant."

Nongzijian is very interested in stories like unsolved mysteries, "Maybe it's a wolf boy, a child abandoned by someone..."

"I don't know. There are quite a lot of legends like this. I didn't see clearly at the time. Maybe it's really just my own hallucination."

"I was able to make such a miraculous friend like you, maybe I can write a book "The Legendary Life of My Dashan Friend" in the future..."

"Then you should continue to get to know me well."

"I reckon I'll die young..."

After a few days of playing in the mountains, the crops in the field were ready for harvesting, and the two began to work in the field.

At six o'clock in the morning, it was dawn. After Lu Yuege washed up, he lit a fire to cook porridge. He went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and came back to cook two side dishes. Nongzijian was responsible for cleaning the house and the cowshed and chicken coop.

At seven o'clock, they went out with packed water and porridge.

The dew was still hanging on the grass and trees. The two led the horse through the lush weeds. Their shoes and pants were quite wet. The body is even more muscular and mighty.

There are many mountains and rocks here, but because of the vast land and sparse population, the arable land is not small. There are three corn fields of Lu Yuege's family, not far from each other. They are all at the foot of a mountain called Taoshan, with a total area of ​​more than four mu.

When they got to the field, each of them took a bag and started working.

The temperature in the morning was only over 20 degrees, which was still cool, but the back of Nongzijian was still wet, and the three big bottles of water he brought were all drunk.

At twelve o'clock in the sweltering heat, the two went home to rest, and did not go out with the ox cart until three o'clock in the afternoon to continue working.

At around six o'clock, they carried the broken sacks of corn to the bullock cart and loaded the cart. When they pulled the cart back to Montenegro, the sun just fell into the hills.

"Growing beans at the foot of the South Mountain, the grass is thick and the bean seedlings are sparse, and the morning revival clears the wasteland and filth, and the moon lotus is brought back to the hoe, the road is narrow and the grass and trees grow, and the evening dew stains my clothes. It is not a pity to stain my clothes, but my wish is not violated."

Leading a horse and pulling a cart of corn on the road covered with weeds, Nongzijian never thought he could recite this poem in its entirety, perhaps because this poem is so appropriate to the current scene, "The master is the master, Just a few lines of poetry contain so much essence."

Looking at the Nongzijian walking in front of her, and the round lines that the loose jeans couldn't hide while walking, Lu Yuege only thought of the most classic sentence of the idyllic poet:

Plucking chrysanthemum under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely.

Back home, the two unloaded the corn and moved it under the eaves, and when they were free, they would thresh and dry it in the sun.

Nongzijian drove the horses to the cowshed and tied them up, then lit the wormwood to drive away the mosquitoes.Lu Yuege picks and drenches vegetables, Nongzijian washes vegetables and washes rice, waits for the vegetables and meat to be washed and cut, and they light the fire and stir-fry vegetables by themselves—this kind of life is like a day in an ordinary and warm farmhouse.

The two youths worked very efficiently. In five days, they harvested all the corn in the field and took it home.

The returned corn cobs have to be threshed. There is no threshing machine at home, so we can only rely on manpower or rubbing with a washboard. So many bags of corn are threshed in this way, and the amount of work is huge.

After threshing, the corn has to be turned in the sun for three or four days before it can be received in the warehouse.

Turning the crops in the sun is not easy. The roof of the building is exposed to the sun, and the sun-drying field downstairs is also exposed to the sun. The weather in July and August is changeable, and there may be showers at any time in the afternoon, and it is very tiring to fight for the rain.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the foot of the mountain in the distance was dark again, and there was a dark cloud floating in the sky. Lu Yuege looked at it and felt that it should not be able to fall, but after a while, big raindrops fell, and the two quickly took the squeegee To collect, just when it was blowing up, it was necessary to cover it with plastic film, the rain stopped, the dark clouds drifted away, and the sun came out again.

The two sat on the threshold panting, Nongzi wiped his sweat with a sword, and looked at the blue sky with a few white clouds floating in it, "Is this weather playing tricks? It comes here almost every day."

"Normal, sometimes I come here two or three times a day." Lu Yuege has long been used to it. Seeing that the sky has cleared and the field is dry, they went to the corn pile to spread out and continue to dry.

The corn had just been dried and put into the warehouse, and the two of them had harvested the rice all morning and hurriedly transported it home when a heavy rain began to fall.

On rainy days, they could hardly do much work. The two of them either stayed at home, or went to the river ditch down the mountain to touch screws and fish.

It rained non-stop. After lunch, Nongzijian played with his mobile phone. There was no signal in the mountains. Apart from playing games, the mobile phone was mostly used to take pictures. If you want to make a call, you have to go back to the village and use the landline to make calls , If you want to post a circle of friends, you have to go to the countryside to barely have a signal.

Lu Yuege equipped the battery with a voltage adaptation converter, charging the mobile phone and tablet is not a problem.Back here, he doesn’t use his mobile phone very much. He usually only uses it to take some photos, and it can be used for three or four days when fully charged. There are no household appliances at home, and there are biogas lamps for lighting. power on.

Yesterday, when I went to play in the village with Lu Yuege, Nong Zijian posted several Moments, and many classmates and friends asked him which mountain he went to live in seclusion.

There are a few photos of Lu Yuege in the mirror, and Nongzijian specially took some photos of him cooking. The circle of friends, which is basically unattended, suddenly received a lot of likes and comments. Qiao Jiao saw Lu Yuege's photos even more. Keep asking.

Nongzijian was also quite puzzled, didn't it mean that women chase men's interlayer gauze, it's been three years, why can't they catch up?Why haven't you given up yet?

"Hey June, is Qiao Jiao still chasing you?" Nong Zijian asked.

It was raining heavily outside the door, and Lu Yuege, who was cutting bamboo shoots, paused for a moment, "No, I made it clear to her a long time ago."

When he first rejected Qiao Jiao, Yan Lie had already broken the shield of Wawaqian. He was so annoyed by being pestered, he said that he already had someone he liked.

Qiao Jiao only took it as an excuse, even if the other party really liked someone, looking at him like that, she must have not caught up, and if she didn't catch up, it meant that she still had a chance.Unless Lu Yuege really brings his girlfriend ahead of her one day, she won't give up easily.

How could Lu Yuege bring out Nongzijian, a piece of wood that didn't understand at all.

Fortunately, the two are not in the same school, and Qiao Jiao is not the kind of stalker. She has her own reserve and pride. In the past two years, she only sent some messages occasionally, and Lu Yuege never replied. Gradually less.

However, Lu Yuege has a good relationship with the people in Nongzijian's dormitory, Qiao Jiao is also very popular, and the people in Nongzijian's dormitory like to coax and make friends with each other.

Lu Yuege didn't dislike Qiao Jiao, she was a very good girl, but unfortunately he didn't like women, nor did she like Qiao Jiao's type.

He only likes Nongzijian, who is active in the sun, has a strong figure, is helpful, a little slow, a little shy, a little machismo...however you look at him, he likes it.

Lu Yuege couldn't imagine who he would like besides Nongzijian.

Nongzijian was lying on the recliner, rubbing the fur of the big yellow dog lying on the ground with bare feet, and said to Lu Yuege while playing games, "You don't even like Qiao Jiao, let me tell you, who is the person you like?" ?”

"I like you." Lu Yuege pretended to say casually while tearing apart the bamboo shoots.

Nongzijian took his words for granted and didn't take them seriously at all. He laughed twice, "Stop joking, why are you keeping it so secret? Even I won't let you know."

Lu Yuege was frustrated, he had deliberately revealed a lot of information, but the other party would never understand it.

"He is very dull, and he doesn't even know how much I like him."

The two are in different schools, and when they meet, they mostly eat and play football to brag, and there are often others around. Nongzijian himself is not a gossip person. I only know that he should have someone he likes, but he keeps it a secret. There must be something hidden, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"How can others know if you don't tell me! What are you afraid of? With you like this, who can refuse?" Nong Zijian couldn't figure it out.

"Even if I say it, there is at least a 90.00% probability that he won't accept me. Maybe...you won't even be able to be friends by then, tell me...do I still have to confess to him?" Singer Lu Yue moved quickly, The cut bamboo shoots are uniform in thickness.

Nongzijian stopped the game in his hand and looked at him, "This—I think... basically no woman can reject you, how could there be a 90.00% chance of not accepting... Could it be that the person you like is -"

Lu Yuege's heart was pounding, she stopped what she was doing and looked at him.

"Have a boyfriend? Married woman? Divorced with children?"

"..." Sure enough, this stupid guy can't be expected to think of something.

Look, everything is about women and women. In his world, there are only men and women together, and he never thought that a man would like another man.

"……neither."

"Then how do you know that others won't accept you, so you have to let her know first? Isn't that the old saying that a strong girl is afraid of being pestered by a man? A woman, if you treat her well, coax her more, you will definitely catch her!" No real talk Nongzijian, who had been in love before, became a love expert and enlightened his brother.

"I—forget it, let's not talk about me." Lu Yuege shook his head and didn't want to continue this topic.

He really wanted to say to Nongzijian, "The person I like is you", but they just came back here not long ago, if he did, he would probably be frightened, and immediately hide in the city...

So let's cherish this summer vacation well. When the school starts, there will only be the last year left. I don't know if there will be a chance to see you again in the future.

I can't bear to...

After cutting the bamboo shoots, Lu Yuege took them to the kitchen to cook.The taste of fresh bamboo shoots is bitter, so they should be boiled in light salt water for a few minutes, and then rinsed with clean water before putting them into the pot, so that the boiled bamboo shoots taste delicious.

The dishes tonight are also rich, such as fried chicken with tender bamboo shoots, scrambled eggs with leeks, spinach with minced pepper and garlic, and chicken miscellaneous soup with mushrooms.

It rained for two days in a row, and the temperature dropped to more than ten degrees at night, so cold that I had to wear a coat.

Lu Yuege poured some twig wine, his father loved to drink, there were twig wine, wild wine, and a jar of snake wine on the low cabinet by the wall. Several venomous snakes with different patterns were soaked in the golden wine. The very lively appearance made Nongzijian get goosebumps all over his body, and he always felt that once the lid was opened, those snakes would come back to life and bite people.

Nianzi wine is delicious. The rice wine is home-brewed. It has a strong taste and high purity. It has a temperature of about 35°. Drinking it is said to have the function of nourishing yin and strengthening yang.

Nongzijian is not good at drinking, he will be drunk after four or five bottles of beer, and he is not good at liquor, he is very easy to get drunk.

Lu Yuege poured him a small glass, he thought it was delicious, and poured another glass himself, he didn't know the alcohol had such a high alcohol content, not long after the meal, the alcohol picked up, and he began to blush and feel dizzy , Lu Yuege hurriedly let him take a shower and lie down on the bed.

After feeding the cats and dogs and washing the dishes, Lu Yuege went downstairs to take a bath.

His hair is waist-length, not greasy or dry, and he washes it every two days. He usually doesn't need any special care, and it's very black and soft.

In the past, no one bought shampoo in the village. Many camellia trees were planted in the mountains, and the tea seeds they produced were good shampoo and conditioner. Therefore, many girls in the village had long black, shiny and thick hair. Some old people Although he is over sixty years old, he still has black hair with a little silver thread.

Just as Lu Yuege rubbed the dry tea on his hair to make foam, Nongzijian came to make trouble. He pushed open the door of the bathroom and said he needed to pee.

"Get out quickly, your clothes will get wet later." Lu Yuege pushed him out.

"Hi, practice for me, haha..." Nongzijian smirked drunkenly. He just got up to look for water to drink, and mistakenly drank the twig wine as a drink. He was only half drunk, but now he is already drunk. Scratching Lu Yuege's head, "Wait, when I have a girlfriend, I'll help her wash..."

Lu Yuege was so angry that he patted him backhand, "Get out, wash it off for her!"

Nongzijian, who was hurt by the slap, yelled, and pressed Lu Yuege's eyes with his foamy hand.

His eyes were irritated by the spicy foam, Lu Yuege closed his eyes tightly, and frantically tried to find the water in the bucket to rinse, but he knocked down the basin with water next to him in his haste, and his clothes were wet, and he was in a panic.

He had a headache, "Nongzijian, are you just torturing me like this for your future girlfriend?"
