Chapter 73 The Little White Dog

"Pine Tree Terrace is here, Pine Tree Terrace, get out of the car quickly."

Liu Jinrong stood up with his luggage.

When the train came to a complete stop, Liu Jinrong jumped down from the high iron ladder, took the luggage that was handed down by the conductor on his back, and looked up.

The weeds on the mountain are lush and green, the crops in the field have turned yellow, and the old house has not changed a bit. A few dogs look up at her with their ears stretched out.

She wanted to go to the tree-growing circle to see her brother, but she squeezed the luggage on her back and gave up the idea. She weighed the luggage up and walked towards the north end of the station.Find the path behind the house and start climbing the mountain.

There are still people on the road, carrying on their backs.People from several villages have to go from here.

Liu Jinrong quickly walked a few steps and followed behind, so as not to be afraid of walking through the grass alone.The weeds are now taller than people.

"Girl, where is it from?"

"Zhangjiabao. Where are you going?"

"If you can follow along, I'll go to Yao's house. Do you know Guoling? I haven't been here often."

"Yes, just go through my room."

"That's good. If you don't want to go around, you'll have to walk a lot. Is the thing heavy? Do you want to help you carry something?"

"No, it's not heavy."

"Where did this go? Entering the city?"

"Go to the army and see my counterpart."

"Hey, military family, it's amazing. Your partner seems to be from our side too?"

"Well," Liu Jinrong panted a little, and stepped on the rocks hard to walk up the slope: "Our fort."

There is almost no vegetation on this steepest hillside, it is full of saw-toothed and wolf-toothed stones, looking north from the ravine below, it is a huge rocky field, without any grass, and it is only a little green until halfway up the mountain Appear.There was a big river here in the early days, but it dried up later.

This small path that people have stepped on is to walk on large and small stones. Try to choose a flat place for turning around. From time to time, the sharp corners of the stones stick out of the ground, which is the best when going downhill. point of leverage.

Climbing up this steep slope and crossing the road, this side is full of weeds and trees. If Liu Jinrong himself would not dare to walk, he could only make a big circle along the road.

The path is only as wide as one person, and it turns back and forth. Grass leaves and branches keep scraping on your body. You can see the sky when you look up, but you can only see a few meters ahead. You can only hear the sound of grass leaves and branches scraping on your body and your own panting. Sounds, most people will get more and more afraid as they walk here.

It’s much easier to get on Guofang Road. Go up along the big slope of Guofang Road and go north. You can see all kinds of landscapes built by various shapes and sizes of stones on the opposite mountain across the chaotic rock stream. marvellous.

The red boulders stood there layer by layer like huge book pages, big at the top and small at the bottom, as if they would fall down at any time, but they stood like this for countless years.

"There used to be a beard nest here, but now it's gone. Back then, I was trotting all the way here. How dare I walk like this." An older man said with a cigarette pot on the opposite side of the pile of rocks.

Liu Jinrong glanced over there, and vaguely remembered what his stepfather and uncle had said about the beard, but couldn't remember clearly.

"Across such a wide stream, he can still fly over?"

"I have a gun, so I'm afraid of being shot. Besides, in those days, whoever was not afraid would panic."

When they reached the entrance of Xishan Ridge, several other people walked along the fork road. Liu Jinrong and the man who went to Yaobao came down from the path of Lingwo, walked through a section of forest, and then walked along the terraced fields.

At this moment, the terraced fields have been planted, several layers of sorghum, several layers of potatoes, and beans seem to be there, and the growth is wilting, and it does not seem to be able to produce much.

"Running in this kind of place, isn't that bullshit." The man looked around, bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt.

Liu Jinrong said: "My fort made it, and it is said that agriculture learns from Dazhai, and it will create miracles or something."

The man shook his head, threw away the soil in his hands and clapped his hands: "Are you a small team? You are the captain, you are good at politics, but you are only a second-five in agricultural production."

Liu Jinrong said: "We don't dare to say this, the captain is capable, and he has to manage the work points."

The man nodded and sighed.

The two of them came out of the sorghum field along the field path and set foot on the National Defense Highway again. Liu Jinrong was a little excited: "That walnut tree, the tallest one, is my house. If you go to Yaobao, just walk along the road. Yes, after passing the Sandaohe bridge, turn a corner and arrive, not far away."

The man looked around: "There are not many people here, is your family an outsider?"

Liu Jinrong nodded: "There are only five families here, and there are seven or eight families in Jingou over there, and the rest are in the fort."

The man asked, "Is there a school here?"

Liu Jinrong said: "Yes, I teach three grades, and that's where I went to study. The fourth and fifth grades go to the brigade, and the junior high school is in the commune. Now I don't teach."

The man nodded: "Yes, I don't teach anymore. Yaobao is not far from the brigade, right?"

Liu Jinrong turned his head and glanced at him: "Are you going to the brigade? If you go to the brigade, you can't go along the road after passing Yaobao. It's far away. You have to go down the dirt road next to Yaobao and cross the river. , it’s just four miles away. It’s exactly eight miles from my house to the brigade cooperative.”

The man looked at Liu Jinrong, smiled and said, "You are quite familiar."

Liu Jinrong said: "I went to school for two years, and I usually go there to buy things at home. Only the brigade has a cooperative in this area."

The man frowned: "Farmer, isn't it easy?"

Liu Jinrong was stunned for a moment before he realized what the man was asking, and shook his head: "I don't know, you should ask someone else."

She still has this vigilance, but she dare not say this casually.

Whose child in the brigade took out the sewing needle, and the child next door saw it and said it.

What thoughts and intentions can a child have?Then the family was destroyed, the woman fell into the river, and the man suddenly seemed to be decades old.

When he arrived at the big walnut tree, Liu Jinrong waved his hands: "Goodbye, uncle. I'm home." In the yard under the ridge, the little white dog barked fiercely, with an anxious nasal sound, and kept scratching and crawling towards the courtyard gate.

The man nodded: "Goodbye. Thank you, little comrade."

Zhang Wanzhi came out of the house, set up an awning with his hands and looked over: "Jin Rong?"

Liu Jinrong ran down the slope: "It's my dad, I'm back."

Zhang Jingyi ran out of the house with a spatula.

Opening the courtyard door, the little white dog jumped on Liu Jinrong, whimpering and whimpering, as if its tail was about to fall off.

Zhang Wanzhi took the luggage carried by Liu Jinrong: "It hasn't eaten well since you left, and it's been staring at Kanshang every day, so it's finally seen."

Liu Jinrong squatted down and hugged the little white dog's neck, wrinkled his nose and enjoyed the little white dog's face washing and intimacy, and felt that the little white dog had lost weight.

Zhang Jingyi said: "Go into the house to rest, what are you doing teasing it? Are you afraid of walking on the mountain road?"

Liu Jinrong patted the little white dog on the head and stood up: "I'm not afraid, there's someone there. Mom, do you miss me?"

Zhang Jingyi glared at Liu Jinrong: "I've been thinking about what you are doing." He turned and went into the room: "Hurry up and wash up and eat, and you can lie down for a while after eating."

Liu Jinrong followed into the room: "Where is my uncle?"

Zhang Wanzhi put his luggage on the kang: "Going out, I'm glad I went to the castle, I didn't say anything. I should be back soon, it's noon."
