dream village

Xiachong Village is the most inconspicuous remote and backward village in Shennong City.The origin of the name of the village has not been verified, and there has been no historical books and materials to explain and record it for thousands of years, just like those wild flowers and weeds by the roadside, which grow quietly and die quietly, and no one pays attention to it.

Xiachong Village is composed of many criss-crossing mountains and valleys.All the mountains are not high, in the shape of steamed buns, like a family of brothers, one next to the other, one after another, echoing each other from afar, forming soft lines, like the slightly undulating waves of the sea on the aerial photo.

The mountains are mainly camellia trees, fir trees, pine trees and other miscellaneous trees and shrubs that cannot be named.Except for the days of heavy snow, these trees are emerald green all year round, embellished with the vitality and rich beauty of Shanchong.

In the valley, there are hills and hills with irregular patterns of farmland, which extend from the valley according to the mountains, some of which are blocked by mountains, and some of them are finally bordered by the farmland of neighboring villages.

Restricted by the terrain, the villages in Xiachong Village are very small, and most of them are built near the mountains.A few or a dozen houses form a natural village, and the villages are very close to each other.

Each village basically has the same root and surname, developed from the clan, and is basically named after the surname, such as Zhangjiawan, Liujiachong or Lijiaao.Even if there are mixed people with different surnames in the village, that surname will not be able to survive. Because of all kinds of deliberately created friction, but unable to resist the power of the entire family, they have to move away in despair.

People in Xiachong Village have lived happily and happily in the gap between the mountains for generations.

The main connection between the village and the outside world is a rough and winding muddy trail.This road is about ten miles away, and it is a rural road connecting Bajiao Township where the village belongs to Gaotang Village.

The villagers have to rely on two pairs of feet to get in and out, and those who have to buy and sell things outside are all carried by the shoulders of men, women and children.

The outside world is wonderful, but the life of the villagers is helpless.But I have to live without help, and I have to live no matter how hard it is.

They use their feet to compare their speed and endurance with the tractors in neighboring villages, and use their shoulders to pick the sun, the moon, the universe, their dreams and wealth.

When the sun was just casting its light on the mountains, four young men came rushing out of this path.Each of them carried a basket full of red peppers.

There are two strange people here. Their shoulder poles are on their shoulders, but the rope under the shoulder poles is limp, as if they are not under any force.

Looking again, it turned out that they were actually using their hands as shoulder poles, and they were carrying the baskets with their hands.Wow!What a lot of strength!

Among them was a burly, tall young man with a crew cut that was particularly eye-catching.He has a pair of big eyes with piercing eyes on a square face; his thick black eyebrows reveal a heroic spirit between them; Show a face of determination and strong spirit.

He strode Meteor ahead with a basket in both hands, his expression relaxed, as if what he was carrying was not a load of more than 100 catties, but just two chickens.

The young man behind who was carrying the basket was a bit dark in complexion, with a thick face and a strong face.He was sweating profusely and panting as he followed, his raised hands gradually dropped down, and the basket was moving forward step by step, clinging to his legs.

"Huzi, hurry up and catch up! Aren't you going to compete with Brother Tao?" A short young man walking slowly behind with a basket in his hands struck out.

It's okay if you don't shout, but after shouting, the young man named Huzi suddenly felt exhausted and sat down on the ground.

"I'm willing to bow down, I can't compete." Hu Zi said with great effort, clutching his frantically jumping chest.

"Don't compare? Admit defeat?" Brother Tao, who was still holding the basket flat without blushing or panting, turned his head and asked with a smile.His face was full of confidence, there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and his strong muscles were full of strength.

Huzi shook his head, panting heavily, as if he didn't even have the strength to reply.

"Brother Tao, there is Gaotang Bay in front of you, don't forget to leave, lest people say you are showing off your strength." Another tall and thin young man shouted from behind.

"Okay! Listen to you!" Brother Tao let go of the rope, and the shoulder pole played its role again.He slowed down and waited for the three behind to catch up.

When the short young man passed by Huzi, he kicked Huzi on the buttocks, and then snorted and said, "You are so bearish, how dare you compare with Brother Tao!"

"Monkey, what are you? How dare you look down on me!" The stimulated tiger jumped up from the ground, picked up the load and chased after the monkey.

"Slow down, the road is narrow, don't fall!" The tall, thin man reminded.

"Brother Tao, block for me!" The nimble monkey took the opportunity to get in front of Brother Tao.

Brother Tao also felt that it was a little unsafe for them to carry a load and fight around on this small road, so he raised the load horizontally to prevent the tigers from chasing forward.

"Monkey, I will deal with you later!" Tiger shouted angrily and slowed down.When the tall and thin man approached, he asked again: "Gao Zi, hasn't Brother Tao relaxed his martial arts practice in school these years?"

"Needless to say, Brother Tao spends his time on these other than studying and picking up girls. Otherwise, how could he get the second place in Sanda in the whole province?" Gao Zi said proudly, as if the runner-up had something to do with him. portion like.

"I thought Brother Tao's grades were so good, and if he concentrated on his studies, there might be some delay!" Hu Zi sighed, "It seems that Brother Tao is far beyond the reach of ordinary people like us."

"That's true, let's talk about Brother Tao's signboard, it's very famous among us!" Gao Zi continued to boast.

"Gao Zi, your Ten Fingers Gang must be quite powerful!" Hu Zi asked curiously again.

"Normal, average!" Gao Zi said modestly, but what he said later was not modest at all, "In our school and nearby, almost no one dares to mess with it. Just say that my body doesn't seem to be capable of fighting. Right! But wherever I go, I always hold my head proudly, and others will shy away. They will say that this is from the Ten Fingers Gang, from Brother Tao, you cowhide!"

"It would be great if Brother Tao could bring these brothers from our village to fool around like before." Huzi, who was a little intoxicated, sighed again.

While talking, they arrived at Gaotang Bay. Some villagers who got up early in the bay stood in twos and threes on the Heping stretching their waists and chatting.Many industrious women squatted by the well beside the road to wash clothes.

Some of the chickens and ducks just released from their nests were looking listlessly for food on the side of the road with their heads down;

"Xiachong's people are really capable. Look at this pepper is red and big." When the four young people from Xiachong passed the well, the washerwoman, whose mouth was far more diligent than their hands, started chattering about a new topic.

A tall woman straightened her waist, and said with some disdain: "They rush to Ligu, what can they do if they don't grow chili peppers? They still rely on this chili peppers to go to the market to exchange rice!" The two lumps of flesh on her chest followed The movement of rubbing clothes kept shaking.

"They are really pitiful. They come and go relying on these shoulders and these two feet. No wonder no girls are willing to marry into their village."

The gossip of the washerwomen by the well drifted downwind to the ears of these young people who were busy on their way.

The monkey stopped and turned his head, staring at the washerwomen angrily, apparently wanting to reason with them and win back the face of the downtrodden, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Go!" Brother Tao shouted in a low voice, his voice was full of majesty, but also full of repressed resentment and shame.

After Brother Tao yelled, they walked faster, as if someone was chasing after them.

They stopped talking and fighting, and the burden on their shoulders suddenly seemed to be heavy on their hearts, and the confidence and joy on their faces were replaced by inexplicable inferiority and sorrow in an instant.

This is not to blame for the washerwoman's babbling, the village is so poor and backward, they really carry peppers to the plantain market to sell, and then buy a load of rice.

Brother Tao gritted his teeth and thought angrily, one day, one day I will throw these contempt and ridicules on their faces, trample poverty under their feet, and lead the villagers in the village to live the most affluent life in the world.

"Brother Tao, there is your sister Tao's bus ahead, it seems that something happened!" When he was about to reach Shatou Ridge at the entrance of the Banana Market, the monkey wiped off his sweat and looked ahead and muttered.

Brother Tao looked up and saw that it was really Sister Tao.She was arguing with a fat woman standing with her hips akimbo at the moment.There are many people around, all shouting in a hurry.His heart tightened, and he immediately sped up and rushed forward.

"It must be that shrew Yun Qing is relying on herself as a person on the side of the road, and the brothers in the family are playing tricks again." Hu Zi also followed Brother Tao to speed up.

"Sister Tao, what's going on?" Brother Tao put down his burden and asked anxiously before he could wipe off his sweat, his concern was palpable.
