Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 18 Rugged
"Brother Siwei, Brother Siwei!"

While sleeping happily, Gu Siwei heard Liu Dezhu's knock on the door as if urging him to die.

Fortunately, Gu Siwei didn't wake up very angry. If he had Cao thief's temper, Liu Dezhu outside will be his death day next year.

Frowning slightly, he put on his clothes and turned up from the bed, went to the door and opened it.

"What are you doing, it's so early in the morning... I'm sorry!"

Gu Siwei, who was originally in a daze, found that Liu Dezhu was not calm for a moment when he realized what Liu Dezhu was carrying.

This kid knocked on his door early in the morning to remind him of his death, and he was actually holding a mouse in his hand, and seeing that the mouse was tied up with a rope made of rattan skin, what else was it if it wasn't thrown by himself yesterday?
Liu Dezhu didn't know that Gu Siwei threw the rat, so he said cheerfully: "Brother Siwei, look, I had good luck early in the morning, and I don't know who threw the rat, look...".

As he spoke, Liu Dezhu lifted the dead mouse up, almost sending it to Gu Siwei's face.

Gu Siwei stretched out his hand and pushed: "Take this thing away, I don't want to see this thing."

"Good stuff, peel off the skin, then chop it up, add some oil to fry and put some potatoes..." Liu Dezhu raised his eyebrows and said happily to Gu Siwei.

Vomit~!

Gu Siwei was about to vomit after hearing this.

Decades later, Gu Siwei heard that there was a place to eat this stuff, but he didn't eat it, even if others said it was delicious, he wouldn't eat it, and even if there was this stuff on the table, he would leave the table immediately.

Because Gu Siwei never eats strange things, such as pangolins, armadillos, etc., he won't touch them.

He also doesn't believe in food supplements. He thinks that if this thing really works, why don't the emperors have a few long-lived ones? In terms of supplements, who can supplement them.

"Get out!"

Gu Siwei pointed at Liu Dezhu and said.

Liu Dezhu was a little confused for a while, because he had never seen Gu Siwei say such serious words.

Gu Siwei is not interested in continuing to talk to him: "Why don't you throw away the thing in your hand, wash your hands a few times before coming here. Or stay away from my yard."

"Brother Siwei, this is really a good thing." Liu Dezhu said: "Vole, not a mouse at home."

"No rats."

Gu Siwei felt a little panicked in his heart.

Liu Dezhu was reluctant to throw it away. For Liu Dezhu, this vole was a meat meal, but seeing that Gu Siwei was about to beat someone, Gu Siwei, who was 1.8 meters and almost 1.9 meters in size, was very powerful, so Liu Dezhu took the dead vole and walked away. ran away.

Thinking of Liu Dezhu's appearance of eating voles, Gu Siwei almost screamed out.

Close the door and continue to sleep, eat a persimmon or smash two walnuts when I feel a little hungry, drink a bowl of stick noodle porridge at meal time, and continue to idle around when I come back.

The rest of the day was spent in this way, and when the lights were turned on at night, Mr. Liu Fulin came over, and he didn't have anything else to do, just to inform him about leaving for the town tomorrow morning.

Go as soon as you go, so Gu Siwei woke up at five o'clock in the morning, prepared a bit, took out fifteen or six catties of walnuts to be oiled, put them in the basket that Liu Fulin helped borrow last night, and held them in the basket. Cupi walked towards Liu Fulin's house.

At the door of Liu Fulin's house, Mr. Liu Fulin was ready.

"coming?"

By the light of the moonlight, Liu Fulin saw Gu Siwei coming to the door, so he knocked the cigarette bag on the sole of his shoe, carried the basket on his back and came to the gate of the yard.

Gently closed the courtyard door, motioning for Gu Siwei to follow.

Seeing that Liu Fulin was carrying a basket, which seemed to be full, Gu Siwei asked, "What animals are we taking today?"

Liu Fulin was a little strange. Although he didn't stop, he looked back at Gu Siwei: "What are you doing with the animals?"

"These things don't carry livestock?"

Gu Siwei thinks this joke seems a little too big. There are livestock in the village. Although the village is small, it also has a cow and two old donkeys. Going to the town, it takes a day's journey, without carrying animals?

"Bringing animals? Animals are very expensive. It won't be long before spring plowing is over. This is enough for a living person to carry. There is no use for animals. Besides, there are animals that need to be fed along the way. No matter how you say it, you have to feed some fine grains or something." Yes, or else...".

Liu Fulin was rambling, but Gu Siwei understood.

People are not as good as animals!
What Liu Fulin meant was that if you go to the town, you can just carry these things on your back, and you can use animals?Then how can it be possible? Animals don’t have to waste materials and grass along the way, and it’s more cost-effective for people to use them.

In Gu Siwei's thinking, you don't even know the animals. This is obviously a curse word, but in this era, it is the reality. In order to raise the animals well, they are used when they are critical, and people serve the animals at other times.

Not to mention that you can't use livestock when you go to the town, even when it's spring plowing time, when an old ox or donkey pulls a plow, there must be a strong laborer beside it.

It is okay for people to be sick at this time, but once the big animals are sick and miss the cultivation of the field, the harvest of that year will be affected.

Therefore, at this time, many people are no match for a cow and two old donkeys in the village. This is reality and not an exaggeration.

The basket that was originally thought to be carried on the donkey's back is now on Gu Siwei's back. Gu Siwei has been doing mental construction all the way, trying to prove that he is stronger than the donkey.

Waiting for dawn, the surrounding environment became clear, and Gu Siwei realized that there were too many things in the basket on Liu Fulin's back in front.

The pile is full, and it looks like it weighs about a hundred catties.

While waiting for a break, Gu Siwei tried holding it, but it turned out that he couldn't pick it up.

"Father Liu, how many things are in this basket?" Gu Siwei asked.

Liu Fulin said with a smile: "More than 100 catties, some oil from the village, and walnuts you sent to Wu's family. In short, it is about 120 catties."

Liu Fulin sat on a stone by the side of the road, as if he was talking about something so boring, not the weight in the basket.

Look at Liu Fulin's basket, and then look at his own basket. There are some persimmons and walnuts in it, and they don't add up to twenty catties.

Just carrying these things and walking for more than an hour, Gu Siwei felt that his shoulders were being strangled. It was hard to imagine that Liu Fulin was carrying so many things, and now it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.

Seeming to see what Gu Siwei was thinking, Liu Fulin said with a smile: "You will get used to it after walking a few more times, and you will be fine after you get used to it. There is a saying from the old people: this person has no unbearable hardship."

Ha ha!

Gu Siwei smiled awkwardly. He didn't have the idea of ​​suffering at all. When people went back to the past, they were all popular and spicy. The women around him were either beautiful presidents, wealthy daughters, or little widows with hundreds of billions. How did they get here? I have to carry a basket of hundreds of catties to suffer here?
impossible,
absolutely impossible,
This is totally an illusion!
Hallucinations or not, Liu Fulin spent a bag of cigarettes, and the two went on the road with a basket on their backs.

Not only are you carrying things on your back, but the road is not easy to walk. You have to hold on to the stones in many sections of the road. It is said that the road is just a path more than one meter wide, and it was walked by people, and no one has repaired it.

Gu Siwei thought this was the worst way, but he didn't expect that in the afternoon, Liu Fulin took him to climb the mountain.

At this time, Lin Zi was very wet, and after a while, he felt that his body was wet, and he was not cold. After walking such a long distance with these things on his back, his legs were cold, not only not cold, but a little hot.

But the heat and the tide are intertwined, and it is not only uncomfortable but also uncomfortable.

Gu Siwei really wanted to rest, but Liu Fulin was not allowed to stay for more than half a bag of cigarettes, which was about two or three minutes.

Fortunately, in terms of meaning, Gu Siwei still has a little point. Although Gu Siwei felt like dying when two or three peaks fell down, he survived after all.

When I came to a river, I heard the rushing water in my ears. When Liu Fulin said to take a break, Gu Siwei sat down on the ground next to him, not caring that there were pebbles of different sizes under his back.

Liu Fulin looked at Gu Siwei with a little admiration at the moment. Although he agreed with Guo Xiangping that Gu Siwei was a strange person, he really didn't expect that the thin-skinned and tender-skinned Gu Siwei would really come.

Although Gu Siwei had memorized a little something, Liu Fulin actually looked at him with admiration if he followed him all the way down.

"Siwei, it's really possible, we're following along this way," Liu Fulin said.

Gu Siwei raised his hand, gasped for breath and wanted to say something, but the sound of exhalation was replaced by a mouthful, so he waved his hand and continued to sit on the stone and pant.

After resting for a while, Liu Fulin started to find branches nearby and piled them together to start a fire. After the fire started, he took out a piece of salted pork from the back basket and two pieces of corn tortillas and roasted them beside the fire. .

After Liu Fulin had done all this, Gu Siwei looked a little better, not as panting as he was at the beginning.

"Eat something".

Liu Fulin sent the baked things to Gu Siwei.

"thanks".

After taking the stick noodle pancake, he took a bite and served it with strips of marinated pork, which actually made Gu Siwei eat it deliciously and sweetly.

After eating a whole piece of pancake, a strip of wild pork followed. After resting for more than half an hour, the two of them stood up and continued on their way.

The next road is much easier, walking along the river, and the mountains don't have much ups and downs.But at this time, Gu Siwei was already following Liu Fulin mechanically, the kind whose legs were not quite in control.

When the sun was about to set, the two people, one in front and one behind, finally walked out of the mountain. There was a rolling hill in front of them. Although it was a hill, it was different from the mountain. There was a deep layer of soil here, and it was all fields as far as the eye could see. , Most of the fields are planted with wheat, although it is winter, the ground is also dyed with a layer of green, which is in sharp contrast with Zhuangzi's land.
