my black moonlight girlfriend

Chapter 77 Warmth
The wild flowers picked, the roots are wrapped with soil and wet paper towels, and sent to BJ together with the local products of Xiangxi. The petals are still upright and fresh, and they can be kept in bottles for many days.

As the car drove further, the air gradually smelled of sulfur, which was the smell of realgar mine. From a distance, you could see the mine, without trees or forests, with a small tributary river passing through it.

Here is the mining area.

Many years ago, when Grandpa Xin was still there, the mines needed came from here, and the mines were male and female, and both realgar and orpiment came from here.

But now there is no mining here.

She came this time because Xiong Daqi said that a new small mine was discovered in a farther and deeper place, and he planned to apply for opening the mine, and she wanted to see it.

It happened to be evening when we arrived at Master Xiong, the clear sky was covered with light gray, and at the junction of the distant mountains and the sky, the setting sun was as red as fire, and the brilliant afterglow coated the quiet mountains with a layer of gold, and the smoke from the chimneys of the wooden houses rose. The smell of fried bacon in the air became stronger and stronger.

Hearing the sound, the whole family of Xiong's family ran out to greet them, and their big yellow dog barked non-stop.

"Grandpa and grandma!" Xin Wan held grandma's hand first, and then called Xiong Daqi's parents on both sides, "Papa bear and mother bear."

"Hurry up, hurry up, come in!" Grandma Xiong's simple face, full of traces of time, smiled into a chrysanthemum when she saw her, and pulled her into the house.

Those hands are also typical laborers' hands, rough and dry, like years of bark, but warm and strong.

She took out the northern specialties that she brought to Xiong's family, such as old wild ginseng, velvet antler, hazelnuts that grandma still likes to eat even though her teeth are bad, Erguotou, which grandpa likes, and BJ's traditional cakes.

They are not expensive, but the Xiong family likes them very much.

Dinner is all she likes to eat, pot meat, bacon fried bracken, small bamboo shoots in a bowl, the Xiong family also slaughtered a big goose and stewed with green peppers, a hen stewed thick chicken soup, and Papa Xiong Take out the home-brewed rice wine.

If Grandpa Xin was still there, he would naturally have a few drinks with the men of the Xiong family. At that time, Xin Wan held a small cup of sweet fermented rice and sipped it carefully.

Since grandpa passed away, Xin Wan has taken over from grandpa. Every time she comes back, she also has a few drinks, reminiscing about the past and talking about friendship.

Grandpa must be talked about during the conversation. At this time, Grandpa Xiong is the most topical, saying how that stunned young man bumped into the mountain recklessly, fell into the mine and broke his leg. He was the one who carried him out and cured him. A leg injury led to the beginning of a long-lasting friendship.

Speaking of these, it's not sentimental, there is always tenderness and tenderness flowing during the dinner, even Xin Wan herself, thinking of the loving old man, smiled with tears in her eyes, feeling drunk, but just missing it.

Miss, and insist on continuing what the old man did not finish!

That night, Xin Wan slept without a dream until dawn.

The next day, he and Xiong Daqi went to the newly found mine.

Putting on outdoor clothes, outdoor shoes, and carrying a big outdoor bag, Xin Wan said goodbye to the Xiong family for a while, and got into Xiong Daqi's pickup truck.

The car drove for several hours until the village road disappeared and they had to hike into the mountains.

"This is no man's land. I also found a mine by accident. I have explored the route and tried the mine first. Let's see how the mine is." Xiong Daqi said.

In the unopened mine, the vegetation is still verdant, there is a faint sulfur smell in the air, and a small stream winds from the mountain.
