Chapter 6
"I cook winter melon noodles for lunch! I don't fry cabbage." Gu Shuangshuang said.

"Village girl, I beg...you, give me a plate of Chinese cabbage." Lu Huaijin was already crazy, and he held his head a little madly, "Boiled winter melon is also fine, just please don't put noodles, okay?"

"How can you just eat vegetables!" Gu Shuangshuang taught him, "Brother Lu, it's not good to be picky eaters!"

"Sister Gu, can I beg you?" Lu Huaijin broke down a bit, he took a deep breath, looked at the innocent Gu Shuangshuang, his voice was almost crying, "Boil winter melon and add some salt. "

He swore that he had never begged anyone in his life, and Gu Shuangshuang was the first one.

Gu Shuangshuang insisted on not listening to him, and cooked a bowl of winter melon noodles for him at noon.

Holding a bowl of noodles in his hand, he proudly picked out the winter melon and ate it. The noodle soup drained away, leaving the noodles in the bowl.

He vowed that after leaving the mountain, he would never eat a mouthful of noodles again. This product brought too much psychological shadow on him.Because of the noodles, he didn't talk to Gu Shuangshuang all afternoon, just sat in the yard in a daze.

In the evening, Gu Shuangshuang helped him go back to sleep after practicing arrows, and found that he was a little depressed, so he comforted him and said, "Brother Lu, sleep well tonight, I will feed you meat tomorrow."

When Lu Huaijin heard the meat, his ears immediately pricked up, and his eyes glowed with hope: "Really?!" Those eyes were like watching Ultraman Tiga descending from the sky.

Gu Shuangshuang pursed her lips and nodded seriously: "Well, I'm not lying."

That night, Lu Huaijin tossed and turned with the quilt in her arms, feeling extremely excited.He has never longed for meat so much, and has never been so yearning for one thing like this moment.

Early the next morning, Gu Shuangshuang went out before dawn.

After Lu Huaijin woke up, she called "Village Girl" a few times, but no one answered, so she got up by herself and walked around under the wall.He walked into the main room, his eyes were attracted by some calligraphy and paintings on the red lacquered low cabinet in the main room.

There was a thick stack of rice paper under the inkstone, and he flipped through it casually, all of which were Gu Shuangshuang's calligraphy and paintings.Although the block letters she wrote with a brush are beautiful, they have no commercial value.Her paintings are quite good, the brushstrokes are vertical and horizontal, relaxed and unrestrained, and the freehand brushwork is well developed. These paintings can be worth some money.

Lu Huaijin flipped through it casually, and found a yellowed photo from the cabinet.There are a total of twelve people in the photo, and a man in the middle is wearing a gold medal and national team sportswear, smiling brightly.

He recognized this person. It was Meng Tianhua, the Chinese champion in the archery team of the International Olympic Games abroad more than ten years ago.

This Meng Tianhua disappeared from the national sight after winning the championship. It is said that he died of cancer.To him, this person is a myth, an ancient myth.

He took a closer look at the photo, it didn't look like a replica.How could there be this photo in Gu Shuangshuang's house?

If he was right, Gu Shuangshuang's second uncle was among the twelve people.

Lu Huaijin sat in the main room for two hours, so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.Gu Shuangshuang finally rushed back before he starved to death.

Holding a black plastic bag in her hand, she happily stepped into the main room. Before entering the door, she raised her voice, "Brother Lu! I brought you delicious meat!"

Lu Huaijin, who was already so hungry that her eyes were dazzled and her body was weak, immediately straightened her back and sat up straight when she heard "meat", staring at her like a hungry wolf.

Gu Shuangshuang put the plastic bag in her arms on the Eight Immortals table and pulled it away with her hands.Twenty packs of spicy sticks were placed in the plastic bag, the kind of small package that costs [-] cents a pack.Lu Huaijin's face sank, she took a deep breath, suppressed her violent temper, and asked her very calmly: "Sister Gu, what is this? Ah?"

The word "ah" at the end of his pronunciation is very strange, which is a precursor to going crazy.

Gu Shuangshuang sat down, unwrapped a pack by herself, and said to him with a smile, "Tang monk meat, Aunt Liu went to town to buy it last month, and there are only the last twenty packs left."

"Tang Monk Meat?!" Lu Huaijin's mouth twitched slightly, took a deep breath, poked his fingers on the packaging bag a few times, and said earnestly: "Sister Gu, this is a spicy strip!"

While he was speaking, Gu Shuangshuang had already opened a package and began to eat, the smell of spicy strips immediately permeated the whole main room.Lu Huaijin was already hungry, but when stimulated by the aroma of the hot strips, she salivated rapidly and her stomach growled.

He lowered his head and stared at his abdomen, then raised his eyes to look at Gu Shuangshuang, reached out to take a bag, tore it along the zigzag seal, and tried a piece carefully.Only after this taste did I understand why so many elementary school students are crazy because of the spicy strips. There is always a reason for everything.For example, now, after taking one bite, he still wants to take a second bite, after eating one bag, he still wants to eat a second bag...

The face he had raised for more than twenty years was completely lost in front of Gu Shuangshuang.He opened the third package gracefully, and slowly put "Tang Monk Meat" into his mouth.Gu Shuangshuang's face flushed red from the heat.She was a little excited, and asked him dancing: "Brother Lu, what do you think of this meat? Is it delicious?"

Lu Huaijin didn't want to talk to her at first, but because the girl always stared at him with big watery eyes, she nodded reluctantly and gave a muffled hum.

"I knew you would like it!" Gu Shuangshuang said excitedly, patting her thigh.

Lu Huaijin took a sip of water, reached out to take the photo on the low cabinet, and asked her: "Village girl, there are twelve people in this photo, which one is your second uncle?"

"This." Gu Shuangshuang took a bite of the spicy strips, poked the man next to the world champion with her finger, and said, "He is my second uncle. How about it? My second uncle was handsome when he was young, right?"

Lu Huaijin was not surprised. Judging by the man's attire, he should be a coach. If Uncle Gu can take a photo with the world champion, he must be the coach of the national team.He frowned and asked again: "Village girl, why did your second uncle bring you to the mountains? Has he ever told you why?"

"My second uncle said that this place is more suitable for training, and that he will let me join the national team and win the world championship." Gu Shuangshuang sat down next to him, and said unhurriedly.

He finds it strange that in this deep mountain and old forest, the transportation is inconvenient, and there is not much equipment. If Uncle Gu really has the idea to train her to enter the national team, why would he let her come here?How could he leave her alone?

He couldn't figure out these things, and Gu Shuangshuang probably didn't know the same.

Although the days in the mountain village were boring, after calming down, Lu Huaijin felt that life here seemed to be pretty good.People here get up before dawn, and go back to the house to lie down when it is dark. This is very different from his day and night life in the city.

After he could barely walk, Gu Shuangshuang helped him walk around.He found that the people in this village are very simple. Children he met on the road would smile and say "Hi Uncle" to him, and if he met an elderly person on the road, even if he didn't know him, he would say hello to him and pull him along. Greeting him with his arms: "Is your leg okay? Are you used to living in the village?"

Although she didn't know these people, Lu Huaijin always had to exchange pleasantries with them because of Gu Shuangshuang's face.After they left, Lu Huaijin took a deep breath, turned her head and asked Gu Shuangshuang, "Who was that old man just now?"

"Oh, Uncle Niu, you don't know him, but he knows you. The pumpkin you ate yesterday was given to you by him." Gu Shuangshuang said.

Lu Huaijin found it funny: "He doesn't even know me, why did he give me a pumpkin?"

Gu Shuangshuang blinked and said, "Because you were injured. He said you need to eat some delicious Bubu."

Lu Huaijin felt baffled.

Time flies quickly, and two months pass by quickly.

Lu Huaijin took off the bandages and was able to walk with a limp at last without Gu Shuangshuang's support.Lu Huaijin was in a really happy mood when she was free from parasites.It was also difficult for Gu Shuangshuang to take care of him tirelessly during this time.

Before dawn that day, Gu Shuangshuang ran to the mountain for morning exercises. On the way down the mountain, she passed the lettuce field of Aunt Liu's house, and picked up two lettuces to go home.

So Lu Huaijin finally drank a bowl of refreshing lettuce leaf porridge.Lettuce leaves floated on the surface of the porridge, and the porridge in the white porcelain bowl was green in color, refreshing and appetizing. With the pickles made by Gu Shuangshuang, he drank four bowls in one go.

He wiped his mouth, put down the bowl, and asked Gu Shuangshuang, "Is the road cleared?"

Gu Shuangshuang took a sip of porridge, nodded and said, "The village head has already taken people to clear the road, and it will take half a month. Brother Lu, when we go to Xiachuan, we have to go to the town to take a bus to the city, and then go Take the train to Xiachuan in the city. You know, I have no money, how can we go to Xiachuan?"

Lu Huaijin smiled and said, "I have it." His wallet is still there. Although there is no cash in it, he has a card. When he gets to the town, as long as he can find an ATM, money is nothing to worry about.

Furthermore, even if he had no money, if he went to town and made a call, someone would come to pick him up.

Gu Shuangshuang quickly pulled the porridge from the bowl into her mouth. After eating, she hurriedly changed her clothes, took a machete from the woodshed, and prepared to go up the mountain with a basket on her back.Lu Huaijin put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked her, "Why are you here?"

The big yellow dog wagged its tail and twirled around Gu Shuangshuang. She straightened the rope and answered him: "Help Aunt Liu cut pigweed and gather herbs. This porridge is not for free!"

When she said this, Lu Huaijin actually felt that she was eating soft food.He pondered for a moment, then called her: "I'm with you."

Gu Shuangshuang shook her shoulders, put the basket on her back, and said in surprise, "Brother Lu, can you do it?"

Lu Huaijin came over with a limp, took off the pannier from her shoulder, carried it on her own shoulder, frowned and said: "I'm a man, I should do this kind of thing."

Gu Shuangshuang hummed, and said with curved eyebrows, "Brother Lu, you are really a man!"

"Okay, let's go, you collect the medicine, and I will take care of it."

There was just an autumn rain last night, there were puddles after puddles outside, the mountain road was muddy, just after walking out of the yard, Lu Huaijin's shoes had been soaked in water and mud.

Seeing his sneakers smeared and dirty with mud, he was devastated!

Lu Huaijin looked at her dirty feet, her temples were throbbing, and she looked at Gu Shuangshuang as if she was asking for help.The little girl quickly understood, ran back to the house and took out a pair of army green liberation shoes, and handed them to him: "Here, you wear these, non-slip."

Lu Huaijin looked at the old pair of army green rubber hard-soled shoes, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she was carrying a backpack, messy in the wind... This, this is the legendary Jiefang shoes?
Ten minutes later, with the help of Gu Shuangshuang, he rolled up his trouser legs, put on army green rubber shoes, and set foot on the long mountain road.On the mountain road shrouded in mist, the back of Young Master Lu who was dressed in rustic clothes was lonely and depressed.

But at this time, Gu Shuangshuang sang at the top of his voice, "The flowering of Shandandan is so red..."

The singing voice is crisp and clear, with the authentic taste of a village girl.

Lu Huaijin was carrying a backpack and a machete, and followed her buttocks with black lines all over her face. He was a little helpless: "Stop singing!"

The big yellow dog wagged its tail and opened the way ahead. Gu Shuangshuang followed the dog up and down the mountain road and asked him without looking back, "Brother Lu, will you still help me with my work after going to the city? You still want me Be friends?"

Lu Huaijin replied almost without hesitation: "Yes."
