Chapter 196 On the Mountain

“Climb the mountain and take a walk.” Huo Beixi stabilized the motorcycle. After getting off, he took Hua Xiali off the motorcycle. This place is in the county next door, but It is quite far away from the county seat and is inaccessible. Even the locals probably don't come here. I don't know why Huo Beixi came here on a whim.

Huo Beixi carried food and drink in one hand and Hua Xiali in the other, and slowly walked inside. The mountains here are not very high, just a few hundred meters above sea level, but looking at The rolling mountains in front of you are also very spectacular.

The two walked for a while and then heard a sound. Hua Xiali pricked up his ears and listened carefully, "Huo Beixi, did you hear any sound?"

"It should be the sound of animals!" Huo Beixi said.

"Ah?" Hua Xiali couldn't help but exclaimed, "Then will we be in any danger?"

"Are you scared?" Huo Beixi asked funny.

"Of course I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that I'll never meet you again." If it hadn't been for rebirth, how would she have had the chance to be with Huo Beixi!

In her previous life, she could only go to Huo Beixi's grave to chat with him when no one was around. After getting used to chatting with him, she didn't know if she had fallen in love with him in her previous life. I silently treat him as my lover, go chat with him, burn paper money for him, and visit his grave.

His grave will not be filled with weeds.

"We won't die. This is not a deep mountain forest. There won't be those ferocious beasts. I guess the noise should be the livestock raised by the villagers on the mountain."

Then the two people walked along the sheep intestine path in the mountain. Walking up there, halfway up the mountain, I saw a group of sheep up there. The sheep were white and black, and they looked quite cute.

Hua Xiali said with a smile, "How about we come over and buy two sheep to eat during the Chinese New Year? I want to eat roasted whole sheep."

"Okay, then come over then. "Buy, these sheep are still young and there is too little meat. Let them grow for another two months." Huo Beixi said that even if he didn't have that much money, he could still eat whatever his wife wanted.

The two of them had just walked a few steps when they saw an old man coming over with a pole. Hua Xiali asked curiously, "Uncle, did you raise this sheep?"
< br>

The old man nodded, "Yes, I raised them."

"Can you leave two for us? We will come and buy them at the end of the year." Hua Xiali said with a smile.

"Okay." The old man agreed directly, and then looked at them curiously, "Are you here to play in the mountains?"

"Yes!" Hua Xiali responded.

"Everyone on this mountain has moved away and there are no homes left, but the scenery is quite good. If you are hungry soon, you can come to my house for dinner." The old man pointed to a quite large stone house next to him. said.

"Okay, thank you, sir. We'll come to bother you later." Hua Xiali readily agreed. All the people in her grandmother's mountain village had moved down the mountain, leaving the village empty. It should be the same here. In this way, after all, living in the mountains is not very convenient, especially when it comes to children's education. In order to give their children a good future, most people will move out.

It’s just that some people will occasionally go back to their old houses to visit, and some people will completely give up on their old houses. If she has a child in the future, she will definitely let her child study in the city, but she will not abandon the house in other places, let alone let the house collapse and become overgrown with weeds, unless she dies.

Hua Xiali whispered to Huo Beixi, "We will bring the things we brought to the old man in a moment, so that we don't count as arriving empty-handed."

Huo Beixi nodded.

After that, the two people walked up the path paved with stones. As they walked up, they saw the stone courtyard scattered everywhere. The stones were gray-white, the same color as the mountain. If you don't look carefully, they looked really strange. It's hard to find a house, especially in winter, when the whole mountain looks desolate and depressing. The house is this color, which makes it even more desolate and depressing.

"The houses here are very well built. The wisdom of the ancients in architecture is really admirable." Hua Xiali said with admiration as he looked at the houses standing safely in the mountains.

“When spring comes, when everything is in full bloom and the trees sprout new buds, this place should look even better.” Huo Beixi said, “Are you interested in this place?”

“I do. I want to book this place Come and build it into a farmhouse, but this is just a temporary idea, I haven’t thought about it yet!” When Qinglong Village is demolished twenty years later, she will no longer be able to grow sugar cane or vegetables, and she will have no industry in her hands. , only the stores in the city are left.

So she can indeed consider this matter, but not now. She doesn't want to keep herself so busy now because she wants to live a good life.

But she really wants to have a new business for herself, otherwise she will only have a few stores left in twenty years.

Walking on the path of the ancient mountain village, looking at the large courtyards on both sides, looking at the large stones and stones on the courtyard walls, Hua Xiali was very impressed, "There was no cement before, and there was no Glue, you say him How did our house become so strong?”

“The ancients had Sanhe soil and glutinous rice mortar, which was used in the emperor’s tomb. The ancients were much smarter than we thought.” Huo Beixi. said.

Hua Xiali nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed."

Seeing that the time was almost up, the two people took their things and walked towards the yard where the chimney was smoking. Currently, in the mountains The old man was alone, so the smoke was naturally coming from his house.

When they arrived at the door of the old man's house, although the door was open, the two people did not go in directly. Instead, they knocked politely and waited for the old man to come out before they walked in.

The yard of the old man's house is also paved with stones and is clean, as if it has been washed by the rain. However, it has not rained recently, which means that the old man has cleaned it up himself.

"Uncle, we are here to disturb you." Hua Xiali handed the thing in his hand to the old man, "Uncle, this is what we brought today. I hope it can be of some use to you."

The old man reached out and took it, "Thank you, please sit down and rest first. Lunch will be ready soon."

How could two people sit there and wait for the old man to cook? Huo Beixi walked behind the stove to help the old man light the fire. Hua Xiali was waiting next to help, "Uncle, people in this village How long has it been since you moved out? I see that everyone’s houses are in good condition, as if they haven’t been moved out for a long time!”

The old man raised his cloudy eyes and glanced above, as if he was thinking, "It has been almost ten years since we moved away! The reason our house is so nice and clean is because I weed and tidy it up whenever I have free time. I can’t bear to see everyone’s houses being swallowed up by weeds.”
