mountain farmer

Chapter 17
(Thanks to my friends Ji Feixue 18K, Wumingqian, xiaojun2006, downcast fat man for their rewards and encouragement)

Xiao Lele had a full sleep and slept until three o'clock in the afternoon.As for whether it will affect her sleep at night, Liu Fugui will not consider this matter for the time being.

Today's mood is really beautiful, and then he made a very important decision.Take my daughter and go out to play with these small animals at home, and take a look at the actual situation of Lijiagou by the way.

Everyone says that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.Although his career has just started now, he is full of energy now, and the idea in his heart is to make his career bigger and stronger.

The little land around the house alone is not enough to support it.When I have money in the future, I have to move the minds of these mountains in Lijiagou.

When Old Master Su was hunting, he would hold the yellow on the left and the green on the right.The teaching chair of Hua Taishi's family is even more awesome.They are the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right. The old cow is on the waist and the dragon's head is on the chest.

This time, Liu Fugui's trip was quite ostentatious, with a flock of chickens on the left and a flock of ducks on the right, with Piggy and Ping An walking in front, with Lele in his arms.

Of course, this is also the formation when they just left the house. Before walking ten meters away, the formation of the army was out of order.This group of chicks started to charge indiscriminately, running here and there, digging the dirt hard, and they didn't know what they ate.

"Brother Fugui, shall we go down or up?" Liu Ping'an asked.

"Let's go up, and let these little guys exercise. When I get back, I haven't walked up yet." Liu Fugui said.

"I still miss my childhood. At that time, we would climb to the top of the mountain to play. No matter how hot it was, it was very cool there. By the way, is that wooden house still there?"

"It's gone for a long time. It must have been four or five years. Where are people hunting now, you can see how the tree has grown." Liu Pingan also said with some regret.

It was beautiful when I was a child, I was younger than Brother Fugui, no one else took me to play, and Brother Fugui took me here and there.

Liu Fugui's home is at the foot of the mountain on the Lijiagou side.The mountains here are actually not very high, but when the not very high mountains are gathered together, they also give people a continuous momentum.

Xiao Lele was very happy, but felt that her eyes were not enough.Even though Liu Fugui and Liu Ping'an's evaluation of this kind of scenery was not as good as before, Xiao Lele saw it very strangely.

"Ping An, is the small river in front of you?" Liu Fugui asked after walking for a while.

Liu Pingan nodded, "It's not good now, unless there is a heavy rain, there will be some water here. How good it used to be, the lake on the mountainside is so big, and you can fish in it, but now it's all done. Bottom."

"There is also the one at the foot of our mountain. People used to raise fish, but now they don't bother to take care of it. There is no good water, and the fish don't like to grow up. It's just a puddle."

The road down the mountain was opened up by the people of Lijiagou after several generations of hard work, and it is relatively flat.But the road on the mountain is not so beautiful, some are winding and rugged.

Although these small animals at home are more courageous, their physical strength is limited.In the end, Ping An took them to play in the nearby woods, and Li Fugui walked up the mountain with Lele in his arms.

Speaking of Lijiagou in the past, it was really a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.Even though the hills here don't have serious names, the big guys say that the front mountain is commensurate with the back mountain, but this is a mountain after all, and there are continuous small streams flowing in the mountain.

At that time, the villagers of Lijiagou were happy. At least they didn’t have to go outside to find water for drinking, and they didn’t have to wait for rain when farming.A few buckets in the creek water can be used to water the land.

It doesn't work now, although it is said that the tap water can be taken from the town.But even at the foot of the mountain, the terrain here is higher than that of the town.Moreover, the population of Lijiagou is too small, so the cost of this project is a bit high.

When I came to the big lake where I used to play when I was a child, it was like a super big bowl. Now the lake has such a puddle of water at the bottom of the bowl.And on this water surface, occasionally a slightly viscous bubble would pop up.

The people in Lijiagou do not enjoy the blessings from the mountains, and so do the animals in the mountains.In the past, the insects and birds chirping on the mountain were very lively, but now only the cicada is constantly showing its existence.

Xiao Lele didn't like the current scene very much, so Liu Fugui carried him and continued walking towards the mountain.

Near the top of the mountain, there used to be a spring, but it also stopped flowing for many years.Otherwise, the current mountain would not look like this, even with a little moisture, the mountain would not be so dead and silent.

When we came to the spring, the sheds built by the villagers were still there.But it has been in disrepair for a long time, and now it has collapsed.Below is the stone platform built by the villagers, and there will be spring water gurgling continuously.

But now, there is only a hole the size of a washbasin left.It's dark, and it looks a little scary.

"Dad, what kind of animal's hole is this?" Xiao Lele asked curiously.

"This is not a place where animals live. There used to be a spring here, but it stopped flowing for a long time. At that time, Dad and Uncle Ping'an went to play on the mountain. When they were thirsty and tired, they would come here for a drink." Liu Fugui said with a smile.

Also recalling the happy childhood, Liu Fugui smiled unconsciously.The days back then were really good, every day was just eating, drinking and having fun, without so many troubles.

It's just that his smile didn't hang on for too long, because he saw the surrounding environment again.

The mountains are still those mountains, but they are less energetic.Da Shan used to be a great guy, but now Da Shan has reached his twilight age.

Those who rely on the mountain cannot eat the mountain, and the population of Lijiagou will gradually move away, which is an inevitable choice.

Guarding this mountain is at most just making do with life, and it would be nice to earn a few thousand or eighty thousand dollars a year.But what about outside?As long as you can work hard, you can earn thousands of dollars a month.

There is no scenery to see here, so Xiao Lele feels a little bored.Liu Fugui looked around, then strolled down with Xiao Lele in his arms.

The mountain is a good mountain, but it was ruined by God.Originally, I thought I could use some spring water on the mountain, but the current situation has no hope.

I don't know how long it has been dry, and there are no footprints of small animals on the edge of the spring.What do you expect?

The mood of the past two days is actually pretty good.But seeing the actual situation of Dashan today is like this, and my mood is depressed.

I don't know whether I am feeling sad for the mountain itself, or because I have a headache because of my own career without a source of water.Or, both, since this was his childhood playground after all.
