Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Chapter 75 Calabash Valley View

When the raft arrived at the mouth of the valley where Liu Fulin's family lived, Sicui's sharp eyes saw Liu Fulin coming to fetch water. She stretched out her hand when she was far away.

"Grandpa~!"

Liu Fulin heard the noise, put down the pole he was about to put on his shoulders, turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. When he saw it was Sicui and Gu Siwei, Liu Fulin's face was immediately filled with smiles.

"Hey, Sicui, Siwei, why are you here?"

"My brother and I are moving to a new home," Sicui replied loudly.

Liu Fulin responded with a smile: "Oh, I forgot about this. When I met Wu Meiling in the morning, she mentioned it to me. We also discussed whether we should go to your place to have fun."

As he talked, Gu Siwei's raft docked at the pier at the mouth of the valley.

"These are the two big fish. Hey, don't tell me that this head is really scary. If there were such a big golden carp, some old people would have said that this fish is going to jump over the dragon's gate. These two fish are afraid It weighs several hundred kilograms and must have been at least ten or twenty years old. It’s really weird. I’ve never seen it before..."

Liu Fulin recognized the Golden Thread Carp at a glance, and after recognizing it, he started talking about it.

"Do you know this fish?" Gu Siwei asked.

Liu Fulin scratched his neck slightly and expressed some dissatisfaction: "Who don't know this? This fish used to be sold at a high price. I heard people said that Emperor Qianlong even tasted this kind of fish when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. If it hadn't been for bad luck, it might have become a tribute."

"And this story?" Gu Siwei jumped onto the dock and asked with a smile.

Liu Fulin laughed and said: "It's just a rumor in the countryside. Who knows if it's true or not? Anyway, there are countless stories related to the old man Qianlong among the people. But this golden thread carp is indeed a good thing, don't look at it and Generally, carp are about the same length, but their meat is delicate and has a sweet taste. It tastes a bit like spring river knives and is extremely delicious. Unfortunately, these two are too big, and the meat is old and unpalatable... …”.

"If it doesn't taste good, it won't taste good. After all, it's two hours of work," Gu Siwei said happily.

"That's right. With these two workers, rafting and boating on the river will be much more convenient. Otherwise, if you want to go upstream, you will have to use people to pull the fibers. Otherwise, you are a strange person. If you have the ability, You have the ability," Liu Fulin said.

It's nonsense to use people to pull the fiber. There is no shore on both sides. They are all Yala's fiber. Even if someone wants to pull the fiber, they don't have the ability, right?

While the two were chatting, the old man Zheng Youcai came over with a pole.

"Grandpa Rich".

When Sicui saw Zheng Youcai, she immediately thought of the puppy she wanted.

When Zheng Youcai saw Sicui, he remembered about the dog. He had really forgotten about it. When he went back to the third team, he only remembered to bring food. As soon as he went back to deliver the food to his nephew's house, he hurried here. Come here, because the work here is very busy. Not only do you have land to plant, but you also have to make things for Gu Siwei, and teach Liu Dezhu to learn. It can be said that the old man is eager to divide it into several people.

Although he was tired, the old man was really happy. No matter how tired he was, having something to do and something to eat was better than being hungry.

"Oh, look at my stupidity. I forgot about Sicui asking for a puppy. I'm sorry, Sicui, I will definitely bring you the puppy when I go back the day after tomorrow..." Zheng Youcai immediately talked to Sicui explained.

Seeing that it was impossible to get the puppy today, Sicui felt a little sad, but she didn't show it. She just opened her mouth and said, "Then I must bring it back next time. My brother will take it with him when he goes to the mountains in the future."

"Okay, okay, next time, it will be the day after tomorrow. I will go back the day after tomorrow. When you come back, I will bring the puppy back to you. Don't worry, Sicui, I will pick it up for you. It's a smoky gray, the best hunting dog, and I'm sure you'll like it as soon as you see it."

Forgetting about the child, Zheng Youcai began to compensate Sicui verbally and praised the dog Na that he was about to pick up.

Sicui heard that the dog was so good, even if she didn't see it, her eyes would smile with two crescents.

Gu Siwei and Liu Fulin smiled as they watched the conversation between the old and the young. They waited until they finished talking about the dog before continuing to talk.

"Uncle Fulin, how long will it take you to carry water back and forth to water the fields?"

Gu Siwei asked, looking at the buckets of Liu Fulin and Zheng Youcai.

"There is no way. Everyone is busy now. They have to build ships and take care of the crops. It's not like last year, when everyone went to the fields and made a fuss. Now it's all their own land. The more effort you have, the more harvest you will get. Where is the person? Still idle. When this period of work is over, I plan to ask a few old people to make a water wheel together, which is the kind of water wheel that people step on. When the time comes, I will use a wooden water channel here to cross this side. It will be much more convenient if we are at the high point of the valley mouth..."

Hearing Gu Siwei's question, Liu Fulin began to tell Gu Siwei his plan.

Waterwheels are not difficult. For country people, waterwheels and mills are not big technical problems. The only thing they are afraid of is that there are no people. Without people, this thing will definitely not be done, and spring is exactly what they are most lacking. When manpower is available.

"How about this? I'll come over and help you in two days. Otherwise, you rice farmers like you will come here to fetch water all day long and you'll be exhausted," Gu Siwei said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Fulin immediately waved his hand: "No, no, I can't trouble you anywhere."

"What's the trouble? Anyway, I'm not planning to go into the mountains these days. I have plenty of time. I'll come over in two days, and we'll all have a drink together. Brother Shengshou got a bottle of wine, and I'll bring it Bring some game, and let's have a drink and have a good time," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Liu Fulin saw that Gu Siwei was sincerely helping, so he smiled and said, "Thank you in advance. You provide wine and meat. I don't have anything to offer here. How about this? I'll go grab a big fish." Fish, it’s not worth the money to make up the number?”

"Okay, no matter what, let's have some fun together," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"Is there wine? Is there any wild boar?"

When Zheng Youcai heard that there was good wine, his eyes that were a little cloudy suddenly lit up.

"Yes, as long as you like to eat, there is."

Gu Siwei didn't care about a person like Zheng Youcai. The old man was poor, but his bamboo weaving skills were really poor. Gu Siwei had to rely on him for many things.

After talking about dinner, Gu Siwei was afraid of delaying the two of them, so he took Sicui to leave.

After getting on the raft, Grass Flower and Cube pushed the raft all the way upstream. With these two guys, it really saved time and effort. The weight of a raft plus two people is not a problem at all for two fish spirits, that is Gu Siwei asked to hold back, otherwise, these two fish spirits could push the raft out of the speedboat.

Soon, the raft arrived at the foot of Silver Pine Cliff.

Now the cliff is not like it was at the beginning. At this time, Gu Siwei has led the water pool over, so there is a small waterfall on the east side of the cliff. Although it is not big, due to the wind, the water drops are falling all the time. It can blow more than ten meters to the west and sprinkle a mist on the river.

If it is noon, when the water mist is illuminated by the sun, a rainbow will appear immediately.

But it can’t be seen now, because the sunlight is not strong enough at this time and cannot shine on the small waterfall.

"Little horse, two horses, three horses and four horses...".

Standing on the raft, close to the edge of the cliff, Gu Siwei shouted at the top of the cliff at the top of his lungs.

The sounds in the valley can travel very far. When the monkeys who were sleeping in Hulu Valley heard Gu Siwei's call, they immediately jumped up and ran towards the shore screaming.

When they arrived at the edge of the cliff, they all poked their heads outside. Many monkeys also climbed onto the two old trees on both sides, sat on the branches and looked towards Gu Siwei.

Sicui was already stupid at this time, looking at the cliff about 20 meters high and the heads of a group of monkeys on the cliff in a daze.

Seeing the monkeys being stupid, Gu Siwei shouted: "Throw down the ladder!"

When the leading ponies heard this, they immediately squeaked and lowered the ladder fixed at one end to the walnut tree.

Hearing a squeaking sound, the ladder made of ropes fell in front of Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei tugged on it, and then asked Sicui, "Are you ready to go up?"

Sicui came back to her senses, looked at it and sighed.

After finishing it, the girl actually bent down to pick up the basket on the raft.

How dare Gu Siwei let her carry the basket and climb the ladder? He immediately stopped her and said, "Okay, I'll carry the basket and you go up first!"

After saying that, he immediately lifted the little girl and let her stand on his shoulders.

Sicui also knew that it was not the time to talk nonsense with her brother. After grabbing the ladder, she climbed up the ladder.

I have to say that Sicui's physical strength is really good. Originally, Gu Siwei was a little worried, fearing that the girl's physical strength and skills were not good enough. Unexpectedly, she was a little uncomfortable climbing a meter or two at first, but soon after the girl got used to it, she seemed to be able to climb this soft ladder. Very lightweight.

Gu Siwei was carrying a backpack on his back. He said he was carrying a backpack, but in fact there was nothing heavy in the backpack. Although it was full, it only weighed twenty kilograms.

This weight is really not a problem for Gu Siwei, who is almost 1.9 meters tall.

The raft was fastened, Gu Siwei followed Sicui closely, and the brother and sister climbed up very smoothly.

Gu Siwei kept talking to Sicui from below: "Don't look back, don't look down, crawl all the way...".

The cliff of more than 20 meters is not too short. If you are afraid of heights, it will be very lively when you look back. If you can't go up or down, you can't let Gu Siwei use space to put the four greens in. Transport it to the top of the cliff.

Sicui climbed up without saying a word and stood on the top of the cliff very smoothly.

When Sicui climbed to the top of the cliff and stood under the magnificent walnut tree, the girl turned to stone again.

She had never thought that there was such a place among the mountains.

There are tall mountains on both sides, and the mountains are full of green trees. Somehow, Sicui feels that these trees are really beautiful. They are colorful, with red leaves, yellow leaves, green leaves, and there are actually some. There are all kinds of purple-red leaves, like entering a colorful garden.

This is different from the woods she often sees. The woods she sees usually have one color. That is to say, in spring, they look better when the ground is covered with wild flowers.

The colorful trees were nothing. What shocked Sicui was that she saw a piece of land, a flat and huge piece of land. The fertile soil seemed to have been turned over, and the water brought out a little grayish yellow in the soil.

The land is so big that it seems endless.

The most outstanding thing is that there is a ditch in the middle, which flows down the southernmost mountain to the cliff mouth. The clear water makes a happy gurgling sound not far away from her, and then hangs on the cliff. A white practice.
