Chapter 175 The Trap in the Mountain

Li Yali's Diranran steamed buns taste really good.

At least it tastes better than Li Xiangqin's.

Moreover, the buns are also beautifully wrapped, with even pleats and edges, making them look very appetizing.

It tastes even better.

The rice soup is also very mushy and very delicious.

This kind of rice soup is cooked over slow fire. The rice oil is rich and very fragrant.

During the meal, the two discussed some details, and after half an hour, they walked out of Wang Tianxiao's house.

Each person carried a large package and walked a long way. When he turned around, he saw Li Yali standing at the door with her two children watching.

Li Muyang feels that this kind of life is very happy.

It's a bit hard, but I have a goal to work towards and someone at home cares about me.
.
"Shepherd, let's walk faster and take the path, so as not to be seen by those who get up early."

The package on Wang Tianxiao's back was not much different from that of Li Muyang.

Walking beside him, Li Muyang noticed that Wang Tianxiao did have something wrong with his legs.

Without weight bearing, if I walk normally, it's basically fine. I just feel like one foot is always leading the other.

Now when I put on weight, it shows immediately.

It was obvious that his left leg could not exert any strength, so he mainly relied on the power of his right leg to walk.

“Okay, then take the path.

Brother Lao Wang, please share some of your things with me. "

"It's okay. Are you looking at the inconvenience in my legs? It's okay. It's nothing.

My legs have muscle atrophy, but they don’t have no strength at all.

I think back when we were carrying wood in the mountains, we could carry two to three hundred kilograms of wood. This weight is nothing.

I promise not to hold you back. "

"Haha, it's not that I'm worried about you holding us back, I just think that you are our backbone. When we get to the mountains, if we encounter any danger, it's mainly up to you to take action. Wouldn't it be better to save some energy?"

"It's okay. You really don't have to worry about it. Oh, let's do this. If I really can't do it anymore, I'll tell you, what do you think?"

"Okay, you must say it."

"sure."

The road the two of them took seemed like a trail, but in fact it was just a ridge.

On both sides are corns as tall as a person.

Walking in the middle, you really can't find it outside.

It's quite a bit like marching in a green gauze tent.

“We can’t let too many people in the village know about our trip to the mountains this time.

Let me tell you, there are some bad people in our village. If they know that you have such a connection, they will definitely find ways to destroy it. "

Wang Tianxiao said as he walked.

"What?"

"Needless to say, it's just pink eye. No matter if you are living a good life or not, you won't let others live a good life anyway.

It would be okay if everyone was poor, but I can't watch you live a better life.

haha~
Especially if they knew that I, the poorest person in the village, had some money, they would be jealous to death.

When the time comes, I won’t be able to bear the tossing and tossing. "

"What are you afraid of? We didn't steal or rob. What can anyone do to you?"

Wang Tianxiao looked sideways at Li Muyang and smiled helplessly, "You are still too young and think too well of people.

If someone wants to mess with you, there are not many ways.

Just talk about our family. I am a public servant and can only have one child in the family.

Pengwa is still a gangster.

If people take this as an excuse, what can you do? "

Li Muyang understood it, shook his head, and smiled helplessly.

The so-called black household means that although the child is here, there is no such person in Murakami or the police station.

They are not allowed to register for residence, are not allocated land, etc.

"It can't be helped,
You don't know that sometimes even your own brothers, let alone outsiders, stab you in the back.

Man, how difficult it is to live in this world.

The better you are, the more unpleasant others will look at you.

Why? Because when you are good, it makes others look bad.

Is this the truth?

Most people are not strictly good or bad, right?
Then you said that in their hearts, they think they are bad?
Of course I don't think so.

At this time, if you perform better than them, they will think that you are showing off or something, and they will join forces to bully you, and there is nothing you can do about it, right?

Not to mention it's me, but look at how many people who are better than me, no matter how good they are, can't hold on, and end up miserable in the end...

Alas, let's not talk about this.

We just do our best and don’t care about others.

As long as we don’t do anything wrong and raise our children with our own hands, we don’t care about others, what do you think? "

Li Muyang nodded, "Yes, I think so too.

So we two brothers are destined to be together.

However, Brother Lao Wang is a little different from what I imagined before. "

"What's the difference?"

"It's just... I thought you were a taciturn person before, but I didn't expect you to be quite talkative, haha."

Wang Tianxiao smiled honestly.

"It's more than enough to talk without speculation. How you talk depends on who you talk to.

We can talk about anything if we get along well.

If some people invite me in a big sedan chair, I won't even bother to talk to them. "

"That is, that is."

"Watch your steps. We are now almost at the foot of Yangziling. You see, this road looks ordinary, but it may not be so.

Who knows if there are any pits down there.

Pay attention and follow me. "

Li Muyang smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Wang. I grew up in the mountains after all. Although our Taoshan can't keep up with Yangziling, we won't have problems walking, right?"

"That's why you don't understand."

Wang Tianxiao glanced at him and said, "The danger of this mountain is not just about the terrain.

But to see what is in the mountains.

Your Taoshan is just a small dirt bag, there are no wild beasts on it, just farming and other things, right? "

"Yes, that's right."

"That's it, isn't it? Tell me what's dangerous about farming, but it's nothing.

But our Yang Ziling is different... stand still and don't move. "

Wang Tianxiao suddenly shouted, and Li Muyang was so shocked that he immediately stopped and looked at him inexplicably.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Tianxiao didn't explain much.He walked to the side and stepped on it gently with his foot.

Li Muyang was surprised to find that the ground in front of him had sunk in. The area of ​​the sunken area was quite large.

"what is this?"

"This is a trap. It is a trap made to prevent wild boars in the mountains from running into the farmland. Generally speaking, people in our village know this kind of trap and there are obvious signs.

We will never go down from this.The only ones who can really fall, apart from wild animals, are you people who don’t understand from other places. "

Li Muyang looked at the trap that had not completely collapsed in surprise, wondering how he made it.

My head was filled with cold sweat.

If Wang Tianxiao hadn't been with him, he would have definitely fallen in if he had left alone.

He remembered that the bottom of this kind of trap was full of spikes.

If he went down, he might be stabbed to pieces immediately.

But when he asked Wang Tianxiao about the specific situation, Wang Tianxiao smiled and said that it was not that dangerous down there, it was just a pit.

If you fall, you won't be able to get up at most.

Because people are also worried about people falling, or livestock falling.

So there aren't a lot of spikes underneath.

Having said that, except for a few animals, once things like wild boars and wolves fall into a pit, they will not be able to jump up even if the pit does not have any spikes.

"Brother Wang, this is still very dangerous. What if someone falls in and others don't know what to do?

And it’s not okay for children to fall if they pass by.Is it really appropriate to put this kind of thing on the only way up the mountain? "

"Haha, don't worry about this. We have people watching these traps every day. Well, in the morning and afternoon.

If someone falls, they will be found quickly.

And if you also noticed this trap, it is on the left side of the road.

We have a rule here, that is, we only go to the right when going up or down the mountain.Try not to stay to the left.Even if someone falls, they are usually outsiders, like you.

Well, you know.The dangerous things in this mountain are not just wild animals. People may be more dangerous than wild animals.

For example, there are many trees in our mountains. Well, these trees originally belonged to the forest farm.Casual cutting is not allowed.

However, some people always want to steal it.Local people generally don't do this kind of thing, so they must be from other villages or even other places.They may fall into this trap. "

“Of course, this thing has not happened before, but it is very accidental.

Well, nothing serious happened.

Generally speaking, the advantages of this trap outweigh the disadvantages.We villagers don’t have any objections either.Well, and as long as people here go into the mountains, basically every family will tell their children this truth from an early age.Well, we can also tell what a trap looks like.

Take this trap for example. The leaves here are obviously different from the surrounding ones, and the grass is also different.

Did you see that the grass here is very easy to survive, or can grow up in a short period of time?

why?

Because of this trap, he may have to set it frequently. If it is not this kind of grass, but a variety that requires a long growth cycle, it cannot grow so lush, right?

If your grass is different from the surrounding environment, how can you possibly deceive wild animals?Don't underestimate their brains, they are very smart. "

"Haha, in fact, this is not a particularly profound knowledge, it's just that you don't know it. For the people near our mountains, this is the most basic truth. Just ask the children. They all understand it.

Well, a lot of things are like this. You sound very profound, but you just don’t know.After you walk through it a few times, you will understand.

After all, he is not guarding his own family against these things like us. "

Li Muyang followed Wang Tianxiao and listened to him chatting about something as he walked upwards, feeling very emotional in his heart.

He has always regarded himself as a mountain man and seems to know many things in the mountains.

But today when he went to Yangziling and followed Wang Tianxiao, he discovered that he was not a very good mountain man.

There are many truths in this mountain, but he doesn't understand them.Like a little toad that has never come out of the well.

I always think that I have a piece in front of my eyes.The place is already very good, and you know how to live in the water.

But actually?
It's just sitting in a well and looking at the sky.

It seems that if you want to rely on this mountain to make a fortune and live a more leisurely and happy life in the future, you must keep putting down your body, study hard, and learn more knowledge.

Only in this way can we always remain invincible in various difficulties, competitions, or challenges in the future.

"Brother Wang, tell me more about these things. I find them very interesting, and if you know more, I won't hold you back, right?"

"Okay, it's okay, no problem, I will tell you whatever you want to know.

This is not a secret that is not kept secret. Is there anything else that cannot be said?Even I don’t know what you don’t know and what is important.

Well, I will tell you something when I meet you. If you want to know anything, just ask me anytime. "

Li Muyang nodded, smiled, and followed Wang Tianxiao closely.

In fact, he is slightly taller than Wang Tianxiao.

And he has an older soul.He has lived longer than Wang Tianxiao. Logically speaking, he should have the behavior and consciousness of an elder.

but?At this moment, he felt that Wang Tianxiao was like a very burly, powerful, unreleased, reassuring big brother.

As long as you follow him, nothing will be difficult.

He suddenly understood why Wang Tianxiao's family was so poor yet so happy.

Maybe it’s because of Wang Tianxiao’s responsible character and optimism that he has a positive impact on the children, right?

Relatively speaking, Li Muyang thinks that he is still lacking in this aspect.

His optimism is not genuine.Optimism that runs deep into your bones.

But he wanted to be optimistic.

Well, this natural optimism from the heart and finding ways to try optimism are completely two different concepts.

In the former case, you may feel real happiness.

The latter, like him, often brings more happiness to others, and only feels a small part of the happiness from it.

On the other hand, maybe this is nature.

There are always optimistic and relatively negative, or less positive people.

These characteristics are natural and difficult to change.It's more about how to accept your own personality and achieve a self-consistency with this society.

The two of them walked upwards for a while.

The mountain road began to become steeper, and the grass on both sides gradually became thicker and taller.

This is mainly because the very thin and soft grass cannot withstand the blowing of the mountain wind and will soon be unable to survive.

Relatively speaking, the grass that can grow in this higher mountainous area has stronger branches and leaves and stronger vitality.

There is also the possibility that the grass below will be cut by those who graze in the village, or even directly eaten by the domestic livestock.

This will not happen with the grass above. Livestock are not allowed to be brought here, so it can grow taller.

Fortunately, people here may often go up the mountain. Although the grass on both sides of the road is relatively tall, there is no tall grass in the middle, only thin grasses such as plantains and dandelions on the ground.

"Do you want to rest for a while?"

Wang Tianxiao stopped, turned around and looked at Li Muyang and asked with a smile.

Li Muyang was not very tired.His body is indeed better than the average person.He looked at Wang Tianxiao and found that Wang Tianxiao was full of energy.

It seems that although his legs are inconvenient.But in terms of physical strength.It seems that I am not bad at myself.

"It's alright, I can still persist. Ah. Now I am Brother Wang's little follower. If you say to leave, we will leave. If you say to rest, we will rest. You can also take a walk and rest. It's not that urgent anyway, right. No, I’ll be fine.”

"I didn't expect that, your body is really good. Carrying so many things and walking for such a long time is much stronger than I thought.

Many of us who walk in the mountains do not have this physique.

Well, let’s take a break, though.Anyway, this won’t be possible in a short while.If you walk too hard, you may run out of energy later on, and you won't be able to rest for a long time.

Going up the mountain is like living a normal life.Don't think about getting to the top all at once.Are you right?Take your time, we have plenty of time. "

"Okay, then take a rest."

Li Muyang smiled.

The two found a small raised flat spot on the mountain road and put their things down.Wang Tian Xiaoxiao took out a cigarette from his pocket and rolled it slowly.

Li Muyang took the opportunity to drink some water.

"Would you like to roll up a cigarette?"

Wang Tianxiao asked with a smile.

"No, no. I'm not interested in smoking. I can't smoke. Brother Wang, you can smoke it yourself."

"It's better not to smoke. It's best not to smoke for the rest of your life. Smoking is not a good thing.

Just say it can relieve fatigue, it can indeed relieve fatigue.But if I smoke too much, my throat will be full of phlegm.And I heard that it’s not good for the lungs either… Well, I often have a bad cough when I wake up in the morning.

I still can't quit. I have thought about quitting before, but every time I quit for a while, I felt as if my body had no strength.I can't even eat, my stomach is so bloated.

I had no choice but to smoke again.

Besides, sometimes life at home is a bit rough.If I feel upset, I will smoke a few cigarettes. I have been doing this for so many years, and I have become a habit. "

"That's it. If you can, smoke less. Well, there's nothing you can do if you really can't quit.

Having said that, it doesn’t necessarily mean that smoking and drinking are particularly harmful to the body, right?As long as the addiction is not particularly serious, it shouldn't be a big problem. "

Li Muyang himself does not smoke, and he hardly drinks alcohol, or he has no obvious liking for alcohol.

But he has no objection to others smoking and drinking.

He has always felt that this is what life is like in the world.If you can’t do this, you can’t do that, then you can’t do anything, or what’s the point?

Just working for a living?
He believes that smoking too much and drinking too much should be bad for people. This is the kind of scientific thinking.

If Keren really did everything in the most appropriate way, would he really be happy?
He doesn't think so.

Just like Wang Tianxiao, if you ask him not to smoke all the time, and don't talk about his body, just talk about his heart, he won't be able to overcome it.

Maybe smoking is his way to release the last bit of irritability, depression and pain in his heart.

After a short break, the two men regained their strength.Continue to climb to the heights of Yangziling.

As I was climbing, suddenly a few shadows passed through the grass in front of me, like some small animals.Li Muyang stopped and looked at Wang Tianxiao in surprise.

“Oh, this must be a weasel, or an ocelot or something like that, I didn’t see it just now.

Don't worry, there are no risks in this location.And the faster this kind of thing is, the general attack power is not very strong, so there is no need to worry too much.

They will run away when they see people.

With these things running in front, other nearby wild animals can take the opportunity to run away, such as snakes and the like.Save us the trouble of alerting the enemy. "

Wang Tianxiao was very calm and had no influence at all. His calmness made Li Muyang slowly calm down.

Nothing happened all the way.

Because the rest of the distance is steep.So it took the two of them about half an hour to walk a few hundred meters.

Li Muyang felt tired for the first time.

After all, you are carrying dozens of kilograms of stuff on your back, and climbing mountains with heavy loads is very tiring.

Fortunately, the two people finally reached the east cap of Yangziling.

While walking ahead, Wang Tianxiao suddenly stopped and shouted to look over here.

Li Muyang ran over following the sound and found Wang Tianxiao standing in front of a grass half as tall as a man.

"Look, this is red qi."

It turns out that this is Hongqi.

Li Muyang only knew the medicinal form of red qi before.I didn't see what the grass looked like, so I didn't expect it to look so unattractive.

If you are not very familiar with it, it is really difficult to distinguish it from other grasses.

“Generally speaking, a single plant of red stilbene like this lasts for a longer period of time.

It is larger in size and heavier in weight.

Of course, we found that more of them are in clusters, with fewer years or months.The weight will also be lighter. "

Wang Tianxiao put the things on his back on the ground, took out a small hoe from the package, squatted on the ground and carefully dug up the soil around the red root, and dug out the roots bit by bit.

"You probably don't know, but when this red sage root grows, it needs a lot of nutrients.

Starting from a young age, it can live with others of its kind.But as the year gets older and the growth becomes stronger, it will suck up all the nutrients around it, and even take away nutrients of the same kind.

Then, the same species will slowly die, and only the largest one will remain.

The one we saw is probably more than a year old. If it were later, it could grow to two to three years or even five to six years.

It will grow as tall as a small tree.If you can dig up such red qi, it will be truly priceless.But after so many years, I have never discovered it. "

As he said that, he glanced at Li Muyang and said, "Let's see how lucky you are this time. If you can find just one, you'll be lucky!"

　I asked for leave yesterday, but you didn’t see it.

　　There was no internet at home yesterday, so I couldn't upload the novel.

　　not on purpose.
