Longing for mountain village life

Since it had just rained a few days ago, I left the main road and needed to walk on a dirt road full of mud.

Fortunately, this is mountainous, the terrain is relatively steep, and there will be no water, otherwise it will be muddy water.

The land in Taoshan Village is cultivated by each crop household, because it is mountainous, the soil is relatively poor, and a large amount of farm manure is applied to accumulate the bottom fertilizer to grow crops.

The green corn fields are arranged in irregular shapes one by one, long leaves are stretched with dew on them, and buds are hidden among the leaves, like shy girls, waiting to be picked.

If it rests on people who have not planted the land, it is a beautiful landscape painting, but when it is time to harvest corn, it is not, corn leaves prick the skin, it is easy to make the exposed skin red and itchy.

When he was a child, Jiang Tian's least favorite thing was picking corn, and he often saw all kinds of bugs, but he pulled fruits, that is, it was much simpler to pull peanuts.

Grandpa was old, and he planted not many crops, but not too little, and when they came to the cornfield, the breeze blew and the leaves swayed gently.

At this time, the corn is relatively tender, and it is the best to cook, and in the past, it would be cooked with taro and peanuts, which is a meal of Meizhi.

Jiang Tian and Grandpa went down to the ground, too small corn do not want, just right to throw it in the back basket.

Unconsciously, they picked a lot, and the two people scattered.

"Ugh!" Suddenly, the sound of Grandpa shouting sounded from a distance.

Jiang Tian quickly ran over and saw his grandfather fall to the ground.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" He picked him up to see if he was hurt.

"It's okay, I was suddenly scared by this monkey." Grandpa pointed ahead, where a black monkey was croaking, his hands tentatively trying to attack.

There are many wild beasts in the mountains, monkeys can often be seen in the village, and in the past, wild boars came down to plague crops.

Seeing that his grandfather was not injured, Jiang Tian also relaxed his heart.

The monkey in front of him is not tall, probably about forty or fifty centimeters, with a small head and white hair on his cheeks, like a two-handed beard.

As if he felt that the two of them were not a threat to it, the monkey looked at them while skillfully pulling the corn off the cob and peeling off the skin, revealing the tender corn.

The monkey bites and eats very sweetly.

Jiang Tian thought it was funny, he was still the first time to see such a monkey, took out his mobile phone to open the video, the monkey also cooperated, and after eating, he peeled the corn and ate it.

Grandpa was also amused, "Let's go, let it eat here, anyway, you can't eat much, don't mess with him, in case it is a national protected animal, it is easy to go to jail if you provoke." The

two left, and the corn had already broken a lot, enough to eat.

"Grandpa, other people's crop fields are made by this monkey?" Jiang Tian asked.

"No, I went to take a look, it should be a wild boar, or the kind of wild boar that is not small, this aggression is particularly strong, and the village chief should notify you later, and don't go out when you close the door at night."

Grandpa's face was worried, the wild boar had not come down for several years, and in the past, there were often hunters going up the mountain to hunt wild boar, and after killing the pig, they sold pork in the village.

Later, the young people all walked out of the mountains, and the hunters were left unfollowed, and no one dared to look for wild boars until they died a few years ago.

Even if the people in the village at most entered the mountains to look for medicinal herbs and wild vegetables, they did not dare to go deep at all.

Thinking of this, Grandpa instructed again, "Don't be careless, last year a police officer came over, saying that a few donkey friends went deep into the mountain, and they didn't find it for a week, and it is estimated that only bones were gnawed by wild beasts." Recalling

the experience when he also helped find it, Grandpa felt dangerous.

As I walked, an old man with a glass bottle in his hand came in front of him.

"Old Mingtou, where did you run, I searched for most of the day and couldn't find it."

"Old Li Tou, why are you looking for me?"

This old man was the barefoot doctor who treated Jiang Tian at that time, and the herbs used were really good.

Grandpa glanced at him, "With your snake wine that has been soaked for several years, what is the matter to beg me?"

"Come to your house!" Old Li Tou replied sarcastically, looking debunked and weak-hearted.

After entering the courtyard, Old Li Tou put the snake wine on the table, "You have been hungry for this wine for a long time, I will give it to you today, I am not thin to you usually, I saved your grandson's life."

"Bah, don't talk nonsense here, Jiang Tian has nothing to do at all." Grandpa glared angrily and couldn't wait to kick over.

In the mountain village, if you talk like this, maybe something will really happen to Jiang Tian in the future.

Old Li Tou slapped himself twice in succession, "It's me talking nonsense here, it's my fault." Seeing

that he was still honest in admitting his mistake, Grandpa asked, "Say, what is the matter with me?"

"I want you to help find ginseng." Old Li Tou's voice was very small, for fear that others would hear it.

"Nope!" Grandpa directly refused, "Do you know what is in the crop field, it is a wild boar, go to the mountains at this time, you are sending death."

Old Li Tou's face showed bitterness, "I know, who can be so clever, but there is no way, my son called this morning, saying that my grandson is sick and is hospitalized, quite serious, I want to get some ginseng to replenish his body." Hearing

this, Grandpa could also understand that Old Li Tou came to him even if he knew that there were wild boars, and he was all concerned about the children.

"You will find ginseng in our village, and I really can't help it."

Grandpa didn't speak, thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth, "I can help you find ginseng, but you can't go too deep into the mountain, you go to the village chief's house, bring the hunting rifle left by the hunter, you also know the rules of entering the mountain, now is the time, you can't delay."

Grandpa stood up, "Jiang Tian, you stay at home and stay, I'll go back."

"No, if Grandpa wants to go, I will go too!" Jiang Tian can't let these two old guys go to the mountains, what if something happens, he is at least still a land, and if there is any danger, he should be able to leave safely.

"You stay, do you know how dangerous the mountains are!"

"Just know that I won't let you go alone, either don't go or take me!" Jiang Tian didn't let it go.

Old Li Tou was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to speak more.

Looking at Jiang Tian's firm appearance, Grandpa was defeated, and said helplessly: "It's really with your mother, Tai Axis!" Come along, I can tell you, go up the mountain, don't run around, be sure to follow us. Seeing

that the two of them finally agreed, Old Li Tou breathed a sigh of relief, left the yard, and went to borrow a shotgun.
