Leisure Mountain Village

Chapter 1
Chi!
With a crisp sound, the sharpened bamboo was directly inserted into the water, and then brought a bunch of water splashes, and a plump grass carp was directly pierced by the bamboo.

"Da Lin, you are amazing!" The little girl following Lin Chen carried a small bamboo basket on her back. She looked about four or five years old and had two buns tied on her head. The little buns were tied with a bright red ribbon It looks like it is made of powder and jade, with a pair of bright big eyes hanging on a face that is a little fat like a baby. It is the kind of cutie that anyone can't help but want to pinch their cheeks.

At this time, a group of yellow figures flew into the water. It was a yellow earth dog. It quickly came to the bamboo with a dog planer, bit the bamboo and pulled it ashore.

"Here is Rhubarb." The little girl ran over with a small bamboo basket in her hand, wanting Rhubarb to put the fish in her bamboo basket.

The big yellow dog shook its tail. Seeing this, the little girl stopped and turned around to run, but it was too late. The big yellow dog flicked it violently, and the water droplets on the fur flew in all directions. Like little rainbow beads.

"Wow, bad rhubarb...!" The girl patted the water droplets on her body, pinched her waist with her hands, and said with her eyes wide open.

The big yellow dog immediately came over wagging its tail, put the bamboo and the fish into the bamboo basket, then sat with its tongue out and arched its head against the little girl's cheek, its tail wagging like an electric fan.

"Don't do this next time, hee hee, rhubarb is so itchy!" The little girl tilted her head to avoid rhubarb's head and giggled.

Lin Chen smiled, grinned and did not speak, but held his breath, his eyes were as sharp as an osprey, and continued to search on the water.

He is 24 years old this year, and he is one of the few strong men in the village. Most of them have chosen to go to big cities to work. with a daughter.

At this time, the surface of the water reflecting the light seems calm, but the prey will appear at any time, and suddenly a black line emerges from the lake surface, which is the black back of the grass carp.

The sharpened bamboo was thrown from Lin Chen's hand again, piercing through the water in an instant, with a whistling sound as sharp as a whistle, almost breaking through the air, and slamming into the water.When it came up again, the bamboo tip had penetrated a grass carp.

The grass carp twisted its body vigorously, trying to fall off the bamboo. The big yellow dog in the arms of the little girl wanted to rush into the water again, pulling the grass carp ashore, but the little girl grabbed the big yellow dog by its tail.

"Don't go!" said the little girl with wide eyes.

The big yellow dog slammed his mouth aggrievedly, his tail was pulled, and his four legs froze anxiously, but he didn't dare to use force, for fear of bringing the little girl down.

At this time, Lin Chen flicked his wrist, and it turned out that there was a thin thread tied to the bamboo, and he dragged the fish and bamboo ashore. Seeing this, the little girl let go of the big yellow dog, and the big yellow dog rushed excitedly. past.

Snapped……!
Rhubarb was accidentally slapped in the mouth by the dying grass carp with its tail.

"Wow...!" Rhubarb yelled at the writhing grass carp as if he had suffered some great humiliation, and kept changing directions, making culling movements, as if he was facing some powerful enemy .

"Haha, Dalin, look how stupid Rhubarb is, ah...! Bad Rhubarb did it on purpose." The little girl giggled first, and then screamed. It hit the little girl like raindrops.

Lin Chen stepped forward, twisted the dog's head, comforted Rhubarb, and then got the grass carp off the bamboo. The little girl took the bamboo basket and caught the fish in Lin Chen's hand.

"Stinky rhubarb, I won't give you meat when I go back!" The little girl wrinkled her nose and said to rhubarb, then turned her head and said, "Dalin, you are too good, but these fish are so stupid, they come out by themselves and let you prick them." The little girl's eyes widened It turns into two lovely arcs, so cute that it can turn people into people.

Lin Chen rolled up the thin string on the bamboo, and said with a smile, "It's not that the fish are stupid, it's going to rain, the air pressure is too low, and the oxygen in the water is not enough, so these fish venture out to breathe, otherwise they will be suffocated to death." gone."

"I don't understand!" The little girl said with her hands folded in front of her chest, pouted.

Lin Chen couldn't laugh or cry, shook the bamboo basket behind his back, and said to a woman in the distance, "Mom, you can take Duoduo back first! I'll go up the mountain and pick some bamboo fungus, wild mushrooms and other supplements for Guoguo." Body!"

"Da Lin, are you going up the mountain again?" Lin Duoduo pouted.

"I want to call you Dad." The woman nodded her daughter's nose and said helplessly, but Duo Duo just lowered her head and dangled around with her small bamboo basket on her back, but didn't respond to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen sighed helplessly, patted his daughter's head, and said to the woman, "Mom, don't force her, Duo Duo... oh!"

The woman shook her head helplessly, Lin Chen said, "If I come back late at night, you can eat first! Don't wait for me."

"Okay, we can eat later, come on, baby granddaughter, go home with grandma." Lin Chen's mother, He Yulian, held her granddaughter's little hand, it's rare, no one can have a girl as cute as her granddaughter from all over the world, Beautiful, this little person, why is he so attractive! ?It makes people feel that kissing is not enough!
The only thing He Yulian feels uncomfortable is that her son has been back for more than half a year, but she doesn't say a word about her daughter-in-law, and she doesn't know what happened to the young couple.

"Da Lin, go home early and don't wander around outside!" The daughter raised her head and said to Lin Chen like a little adult.

Lin Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little guy imitated her grandma's speech. He bent down and rubbed his daughter's little bun, then kissed her on the forehead.

"Yes, Princess Xiaolin!" Lin Chen smiled.

Duoduo wiped her forehead with her hands a few times, stuck out her tongue at Lin Chen, and made a grimace.

Mother He Yulian took Duoduo home, and Lin Chen took rhubarb up the mountain. Although the weather was not so good, Lin Chen didn't worry about anything. Rhubarb is the best hunting dog, as long as it doesn't go deep into the mountains, it is almost invincible.

This is not bragging. Rhubarb is a pure-blooded Taihang dog. It has been bred on the land of Taihangling for more than 2000 years. Together, even wild boars and bears dare to touch them, they are quite fierce.

Hearing the owner talking about himself, Rhubarb immediately jumped a few times on the spot, and bared his teeth and sobbed at the fish in the bamboo basket, showing his bravery. It wasn't until Lin Chen patted it on the forehead that he was happy Wagging her high tail, she licked Lin Chen's palm with her warm tongue.

Lin Chen picked up a bamboo basket and whistled. Rhubarb quickly followed Lin Chen's footsteps. On the mountain, it was the owner's guard.

"Da Lin, I'll save food for you, Rhubarb protect Da Lin!" Lin Duoduo shouted, holding grandma's hand.

"Wow!" Rhubarb turned his head and wagged his tail, as if responding to Dodo, and then quickly caught up with Lin Chen.

After going up the mountain, Lin Chen immediately took off his cloth shoes, tied the laces directly around his neck, and walked barefoot in the mountains. Now the weather is gloomy, there is a lot of dew in the mountains, and the humidity is high. Wearing heels is like skating. Squatting with one buttocks is not as convenient as barefoot.

Holding a hatchet to open the way, Rhubarb followed closely behind. He hadn’t come for several months. The surroundings had changed too much. The vines that had been cut off covered the surrounding branches again, and the fallen leaves were piled up on the ground. It was cleared out of a road, and without the marker made by Lin Chen, it would be almost impossible to find the original place.

While cleaning the vines and branches, Lin Chen picked some wild fruits, wild strawberries and wild cherries, which my daughter likes to eat. The wild fruits have less pulp, but the taste is very sweet and sour, especially the wild cherries. Seeing a sour one can make the teeth sour, but after the sourness is relieved, I can't help stuffing another one into my mouth, and I can't stop at all. , Lin Chen wanted to laugh.

"Wow...!" Rhubarb stopped in front of a dead wood, wagging its tail, and nuzzled the dead wood.

Lin Chen walked over and saw a large cluster of wild black fungus. This thing has a good taste. When you go back to stir-fry, put a little bit in your mouth. It is crispy and delicious in your mouth, full of flavor. Rhubarb has seen himself picking wild fungus before, so I picked it up. Will keep an eye out.

"Good buddy, well done." Lin Chen praised and patted Rhubarb's head again.

Rhubarb opened his mouth to let out his breath, narrowed his eyes to enjoy his master's touch, his expression looked like he was smiling.

Soon Lin Chen and Da Huang came to a dilapidated temple. This is the mountain temple on Taihang Mountain. It was built when everyone was still living in the mountain. Before hunting, hunters in the mountain would worship the mountain god and ask for protection. This is the temple of every household. It is impossible not to be in awe of the mountain gods to live on the mountain, so the incense in the mountain temple was very prosperous at that time.

After the reform and opening up, in order to get rid of poverty and get rich, everyone moved down from the mountain, and the mountain temple was abandoned, but it was finally a place to live.

In the dilapidated mountain temple, the two large door panels have gone for a long time. Walking into the mountain temple, Lin Chen prepared to worship the mountain god first according to the tradition taught by his grandfather.

When Rhubarb traveled through the forest, his body was covered with a lot of dew, and he felt uncomfortable at this moment. With a violent flick, the water on the fur was almost flung away, but Lin Chen was flung in the face.

"Rhubarb, you idiot, you really did it on purpose, right?" Lin Chen grabbed Rhubarb and ravaged its dog's head, but Rhubarb stuck out his tongue with a look of enjoyment on his face. It felt that the owner was playing games with him .

Sparing the rhubarb, Lin Chen had no choice but to take it. He divided some of the wild fruits and fungus in the bamboo basket.

He cleaned up the dusty altar, and then respectfully put down the wild fruits and fungus. According to the previous rules, people in the mountains rely on the mountains to eat, but they can't eat alone. They have to share some of the harvest to worship the mountain gods, not too much, just a little. That's it, it represents the awe of the mountain god.

It's just that in today's scientific society, there are fewer people who believe in this, and generally few people go to the mountain, let alone worship, otherwise the mountain temple would not be dilapidated like this.

"Grandpa Mountain God, please bless my family to live a better life, and Duo Duo can grow up healthy and healthy!" Lin Chen arched his hands, thought for a while and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Grandpa often said to Lin Chen, You must respect the mountain gods, because the ancestors can pass on their blood to this day, all relying on the support of this Taihang Ridge. For them, Taihang Ridge is like their parents.

Kneeling on the ground, Lin Chen felt an unprecedented piousness in his heart, but before he could raise his head, he heard a thunderous explosion outside the mountain temple, and then a flash of lightning danced in front of his eyes.

Lin Chen reluctantly looked up, and saw that the statue's eyes seemed to be opened on its gray face, and a symbol like a luxuriant tree shone on his forehead, and then the statue shattered in the thunder.

"Ah!" Before Lin Chen had time to react, he felt a pain in his chest, as if something had crashed into his body.
