Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 75 Calabash Valley Scenery
When the raft reached the mouth of the valley where Liu Fulin's family lived, Sicui saw Liu Fulin coming to draw water with keen eyes, and stretched out his hand when he was far away.

"Grandpa~!"

Hearing the sound, Liu Fulin put down the shoulder pole that was just about to be put on his shoulders, turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, seeing that it was Sicui and Gu Siwei, Liu Fulin's face was immediately full of smiles.

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

"My brother and I moved to a new house," Sicui replied loudly.

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

As he spoke, Gu Siwei's raft landed on Taniguchi's wharf.

"This is the two big fish. Hey, don't say that the head is really scary. If such a big golden carp is left, some old people will say that these fish are going to jump the dragon gate. These two fish are afraid If it weighs several hundred catties, it will take at least ten or twenty years, which is really strange, as if I have never seen it before... ".

Liu Fulin recognized the golden thread carp at a glance, and after recognizing it, he began to chatter.

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

Liu Fulin poked his neck lightly, expressing a bit of dissatisfaction: "I don't know this, this fish was sold very expensive in the past, I heard people say that Emperor Qianlong tasted this fish when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, If it weren't for the bad luck of this thing, it might become a tribute."

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

Liu Fulin followed with a smile and said, "It's just a rumor in the countryside. Who knows if it's true or not? Anyway, there are countless stories about the old man Qianlong in the folk. But this golden thread carp is indeed a good thing. Generally, the carp is about the same length, but the meat is delicate and has a sweet taste. It tastes a bit like a spring Jiangdao, which is extremely delicious. Unfortunately, these two are too big, and the meat is not tasty when it is old... ...".

"If it doesn't taste good, it won't taste good. No matter how you say it, it's two labors," Gu Siwei said cheerfully.

"That's right, with these two labors, it's much more convenient for rafting and boating on the river. Otherwise, if you want to go upstream, you will have to use people to pull the fibers. Or how can you say that you are a strange person, if you have the ability I have the ability," Liu Fulin said.

It's nonsense to use people to pull the fiber, there is no shore between the two sides, they are all Yala's kind of fiber, even if someone wants to pull this fiber, they don't have the ability, right?
The two of them were chatting here when the old man Zheng Youcai came over with a shoulder pole.

"Grandfather with wealth".

Seeing Zheng Youcai, Sicui immediately remembered the puppy she wanted.

When Zheng Youcai saw Sicui, he remembered about the dog. He really forgot about it. When he returned to the third team, he only remembered to bring the food. He rushed over here as soon as he delivered the food to his nephew's house. I'm here, because the work here is very busy, not only to plant land, but also to weave things for Gu Siwei, and to teach Liu Dezhu to learn. It can be said that the old man is eager to divide it into several.

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

"Oh, look at my stupid brain, 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 told Si Cui explained.

Seeing that it was impossible to get the puppy today, Si Cui 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 bring it when he goes into the mountains."

"Okay, okay, next time, the day after tomorrow, I will go back the day after tomorrow, come back when you come, and I will bring you the puppy back. Don't worry, Si Cui, I will pick it for your family. It's a smoky gray, the best kind of hound, I'm sure you'll love him when you see him."

Forgetting about the child, Zheng Youcai began to verbally compensate Si Cui, calling the dog he was about to bring over a compliment.

Si Cui heard that the dog is so good, even if she didn't see it, her eyes still smiled with two crescents.

Gu Siwei and Liu Fulin watched the conversation between the old and the young with a smile, and waited for the two to finish talking about the dog before continuing the conversation.

"Uncle Flynn, how long will you be picking water to irrigate the ground?"

Gu Siwei looked at the barrels of Liu Fulin and Zheng Youcai and asked.

"There is no way, everyone is busy now, and they have to build ships and take care of crops. It's not like last year. Everyone fooled around when they landed. Now it's all their own land. The more effort you put in, the more harvest. Where can anyone I’m still idle. After I’ve been busy for a while, I’m going to ask a few old people to build a waterwheel together, which is the kind of waterwheel that people step on. At that time, I’ll use a wooden waterway here to cross over here. It will be much more convenient for the area at the height of the Taniguchi…”

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

The waterwheel is not difficult. For the country people, waterwheels and mills are not a major technical problem. The only thing they are afraid of is that there is no one. when manpower.

"How about this, I'll come to help you in two days, or you rice people come here all day to carry water, and you won't be exhausted," Gu Siwei said.

Liu Fulin immediately waved his hands: "No, no, I can't trouble you."

"What's the trouble? Anyway, I don't plan to go into the mountains these days. I have plenty of time. I'll come over in a couple of days, and everyone happens to have a drink together. Brother Shengshou bought a bottle of wine, and I'll bring it with you." Come over with some wild game, let's have a good time with wine," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Liu Fulin saw that Gu Siwei was really helpful here, so he smiled and said: "Then I will thank you in advance. You provide wine and meat, and I have nothing to offer here. How about this? Fish, is it not worth the money to make up for it?"

"Okay, what can't be counted, let's have fun together," Gu Siwei laughed.

"Is there wine? Is there wild boar?"

When Zheng Youcai heard that there was good wine, his two eyes that were a bit cloudy lit up all of a sudden.

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

Gu Siwei doesn't care about a person like Zheng Youcai, the old man is poor, but the bamboo weaving skills are really good, and Gu Siwei has to rely on him for many things.

After talking about the meal, Gu Siwei was afraid of delaying the time of the two of them, so he took Si Cui to leave.

After getting on the raft, the grass flowers and cubes push the raft all the way upstream. With these two guys, it really saves time and effort. One raft plus the weight of two people is not a problem at all for two fish spirits, that is, Gu Siwei asked to hold back, otherwise, the two fish spirits would have the effect of pushing the raft out of the speedboat.

Soon, the raft came under the 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. It can blow about ten meters to the west and sprinkle a mist of water on the river.

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

But I can't see it now, because the sunlight is not strong at this time, and it can't reach 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 roared towards the top of the cliff with a loud voice.

The sound in the valley can be heard far away, and the group of monkeys who were sleeping in Hulugu Valley heard Gu Siwei's call, turned over immediately, and ran to the shore yelling.

When they reached the edge of the cliff, they poked their heads out one by one. Many monkeys even climbed two old trees on both sides, sitting on the branches and looking in the direction of Gu Siwei.

Sicui was already dumbfounded at this moment, staring at the twenty-meter-high cliff and the heads of a group of monkeys on the cliff in a daze.

Seeing the group of monkeys acting stupid, Gu Siwei yelled: "Throw down the ladder!"

When the leaders of the ponies heard this, they immediately squeaked and let down a ladder fixed on the walnut tree.

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

Gu Siwei tugged, and then asked Si Cui: "Are you going up?"

Sicui came back to his senses, looked at it and hummed.

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

How dare Gu Siwei let her climb the ladder with a basket on her back, and immediately stopped her when she saw it: "Okay, I'll carry this basket and you go up first!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately supported the little girl and let her stand on his shoulders.

Sicui also knew that it was not the time to talk to his brother, so after grabbing the ladder, he climbed up the ladder.

I have to say that Sicui's physical strength is really good. At first, Gu Siwei was a little worried, fearing that the girl's physical strength and skills would not be good. Who knew that she would not be used to climbing one or two meters at the beginning, but after the girl got used to it soon, the soft ladder seemed to be very difficult to climb. Very lightweight.

Gu Siwei carried a pannier here, saying that he had a pannier on his back, but in fact there was nothing heavy in the pannier. Although it was full, it only weighed twenty catties.

This weight is really not a problem for Gu Siwei, who is 1.8 meters and almost 1.9 meters.

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

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

A cliff of more than 20 meters is not short. If you are afraid of heights, it will be lively when you look back. When the time comes, you can’t go up or down. You can’t let Gu Siwei use the space to put Sicui in and transport it to Go 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 was petrified again.

She 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. I don’t know how to drip them. Sicui thinks these trees are really beautiful. They are colorful, with red leaves, yellow leaves, and green leaves. The purple-red leaves look like they have entered a colorful garden.

This is different from the forests she often sees. The forests she sees are usually of the same color, that is, in the spring now, when the ground is covered with wild flowers, it will look more beautiful.

The colorful trees were nothing, but what was even more shocking to Shang Sicui was that she saw a piece of land, a flat and huge land, the fertile soil seemed to have been overturned, and the water soaked the soil and turned a little grayish yellow.

The land is so big that it seems impossible to see the end at a glance.

The most outstanding thing is that there is a ditch in the middle, which runs down the southernmost mountain and flows to the mouth of the cliff. The clear water is not far away from her, making joyful murmurs, and then hangs on the cliff. Come up with a white practice.
