20 years of restarting life

Chapter 1935

When the car arrived at Tianmu Village, where Li Juaner's home was located in Tianmu Mountain, it was already past one o'clock at noon.

The weather is hot and slack, and the scorching sun is scorching this mountain village basin surrounded by high mountains. There is no wind, and the heat is steaming.

Because snakes, insects, rats, ants, centipedes, and wild bees are all over the mountain, and there are wild wolves, wild boars, and bears, and a small number of East China tigers. There is another one in front of the village that swallows one or two in several villages along the river every few years. A river of human life.

People in the mountains are superstitious. In this season, except for watering the rice fields or tidying up the vegetable garden, the adults will basically not go into the mountains and rivers. Instead, cats sleep in the house and play cards and brag about their mothers-in-law.

Especially after noon, the village is even more silent.

At this time, under the scorching sun, there are only some naughty children in this big mountain village with 600 to [-] people. During the summer vacation, they dig out bird eggs in the village or on the edge of the village, look for wild grapes, catch loaches and crayfish in the fields, catch frogs, and use slingshots. Hunting birds and frogs, picking peaches, apricots and plums from trees, and more often playing in the river.

Small trucks drive across the slab bridge above the big river. The piers of these slab bridges are made of local stones and cement, less than one meter above the river bed. The truck passes.

At this time, it is already the season of rising water in the flood season. The river water flowing from the upstream has already flowed over the stone bridge, with a depth of more than ten centimeters. Living on this stone bridge and isolating this mountain village from the world, if you want to overcome it, you have to risk your life.

This is also the helplessness of this mountain village. The large flat basins are all in Hexi, so you can only choose to build villages and reclaim farmland in Hexi, but Hexi is surrounded by endless mountains, cliffs, and natural moats on the north, south, and west sides. There is a big town outside the mountain road to the east.

"If a real bridge is built on it, how much will it cost?"

Zhao Chang'an was thoughtful, if Li Juan'er was willing to spend two or three million yuan from the cash, he could build a relatively good bridge over this big river.

If you are willing to take it all out, you can even widen the bumpy and rugged mountain road from outside the mountain to the village into a very good mountain road.

In this way, he can also worry, hello and me.

"You take the money?"

Wen Ye asked.

"To be honest, if I take the money, the village in the mountains where my father lived when he was a child has no concrete roads, and all the roads over the mountains are yellow mud mountain roads. My mother's old hometown is even more difficult. Now let alone roads, there are electricity. It didn’t work, buying a piggy would take hours to carry up the mountain to get to the top, and students go to school and go home once a week.”

"Then you still kidnap Li Juan'er morally?"

"But that's my father and mother's hometown, and my hometown is Shancheng. As far as I can remember, I have been to my mother's place once, and my father's place three times. Since my father and my mother were laid off, there The people from the village who once came to the city to eat and live in my house for free and call for help stopped coming, but went to the homes of other well-off villagers in the city."

Zhao Changan said with a smile: "When my dad went back to visit the grave every year, every household in the whole village wanted to invite my dad to dinner, because several families in this village had disputes and blushed.

You must know that it was the Ching Ming Festival at that time, and it was the time to make Mingqian tea. The food in the mountains was worthless, and only one tea and chestnuts were the main harvests of every family.The expenses of a family, children going to school and marrying a daughter-in-law, and elements of favors and gifts all have to come from it.

These hospitable folks are so generous and hospitable, and my dad can't help it. Sometimes it takes two or three days to come back drunk.

During the three years when I was laid off, I had a meal in the first year when I went back. I bought a few catties of tea for an uncle, and then rode a bicycle dozens of miles back to the city.In the second year, the family had no spare money to buy tea, so my dad wisely left after visiting the grave. At this time, every household was busy making tea and selling tea. Naturally, no one had the intention to delay earning money and drag my dad into the house for dinner.

When my dad came back on his bicycle, he was drenched in water.I don’t know if you still remember it. In the second year of high school, we had a holiday on Ching Ming Festival and there was a heavy rainstorm. I saw my dad enter the house and walk to the bedroom. There was a watermark from the bedroom door to the living room to the stairway.

I still remember it clearly now, my mother must also remember it, and I dare say my dad, he has never forgotten it either.Last year and this year's Tomb-sweeping Day, he borrowed a motorcycle and took my mother to go to the grave from another small road, not the road in the village.

Including the fellow who bought my guitar, waited for me on the side of the road with Xia Wuyue Qiao San, smashed the guitar in front of me, and threw it into the fire.If it wasn't my dad's strength, could their family come out of the mountain? "

Zhao Chang'an couldn't help laughing: "My parents are almost getting a headache from the company's complaints about being poor, especially when they go back for two days after traveling. After returning, there will be a merger between the first construction and the second construction, and the district construction. The intricate network of relationships in it can make people even more mad.

If I spend a few more million to build roads, in that village, weddings, funerals, marriages, children going to school and building houses will be beaten by my family.

Why, just because my family is kind and stupid?

Up to now, my father and my mother still insist on not using mobile phones at ordinary times. The mobile phones I bought for them are always kept in the drawer, unless they go out.Tell me, I'm crazy to cause trouble for myself and for them. "

Wen Ye drove in silence. The car drove out of the village and headed towards the blue-brick house under the cliff in the west.

When going uphill and entering the mountain road with jungles on both sides, he said: "This is called being poor in a busy city and no one asks."

"That's not the reason."

Zhao Changan looked at the jungle scenery along the way: "Actually, I also understand that my father's folks don't have any feelings between them, so they can only gain benefits through the kidnapping of family affection.

Since they can't bring them real benefits, and they don't know my dad well, why should they waste these false feelings and real money to kidnap their family relationship with my dad. "

"Then you still kidnapped Li Juan'er morally?"

"Well, I didn't say anything."

The car passed the vegetable garden of Li Juan'er's house. Zhao Chang'an and Wen Ye were surprised to see that Li Juan'er was harvesting the garden like a marsh.

Even those ten-year-old peach trees were chopped down by her.

After eating a simple meal of local eggs, tomatoes and green peppers and noodles at noon, Zhao Changan and Wen Ye entered the cave, holding a chainsaw with diamond particles, and gave the three-meter-high slender stone pillar where the lynx slept all year round. Saw off.

Then put it sideways into the compartment of the pickup truck.

The lynx was squatting on another taller stalactite pillar, watching the whole process with its golden-green eyes glowing in the darkness.

This is what the old man Li said to Zhao Changan before driving the crane, that is, before he has established a tacit understanding with this lynx, how to express it so that it will leave without misunderstanding.

It is to remove its nest and re-establish it where it needs to settle down.

That night, Zhao Changan and Wen Ye sealed the entrance of the karst cave with huge stones, and Li Juaner locked the main room, the kitchen, and the doors of the side room, and sat in the back row of the driver's cab with the old yellow dog, leaving her to live. 20 years home.

And Zhao Changan noticed a black shadow flashing in the rearview mirror, this kind of black is the kind of black that can reflect luster.

It seems to be following.
