When I woke up the next day, twenty-seven's chin was covered with stubble. Ruan Qing was amazed at how quickly the beard grew.
Twenty-seven touched her chin and told her, "I'll shave it off when the matter is over."
Almost no one has a beard these days. Elderly people also have smooth and clean chins.
Two people went to buy food.
Ruan Qing thought he had to buy rice and noodles to show off. Twenty-seven said: "If a person in the mountains wants to have rice and noodles, he may have to go down the mountain frequently."
Ruan Qing thought about it, and it was right.
Twenty-seven then bought some coarse grains. Before leaving, he saw a bunch of dried corn hanging at the door of the store as a decoration, so he bought them too.
He also asked where he could buy things like lime.
Ruan Qing didn't know, so he had to ask the locals. Fortunately, the county is small, and all kinds of shops are basically crowded in the same area. There is a hardware grocery store on the next street. Twenty-seven walked around and bought the things he wanted to buy.
It’s such a mess and I don’t know what it is.
I thought it could be done in one day yesterday, but the plan failed to keep up with the change.
Ruan Qing wanted to send him a message, but thinking about the roads in the mountains that couldn't be called roads at all, she was afraid that he would be distracted and in danger. Been enduring it.
Ruan Qing: "???"
This makes sense.
Unexpectedly, Twenty-seven replied: [Isn’t there still food? My porridge has been cooked.]
"Remember, I know it already." Twenty-seven said, "I'll send you the location when I find it."
After staring for a long time, he could only call Uncle Qi: "Grandpa Qi, this is Ruan Qing. I'm on vacation. I'll go see you early tomorrow morning..."
Twenty-seven has not contacted her.
This time, Twenty-Seven carried all the things and said to her, "Don't worry."
Ruan Qing didn't care much about the family business because he didn't like it. Although she knew that there were many relatives from her hometown in the factory, she really didn't know that 70% to 80% of the young people in the village who went out to work were in her family's factory.
Ruan Qing sent him another message, but there was no reply.
Ruan Qing could only stare at the phone.
Ruan Qing drove Niqi there again.
He learns everything very quickly, and he also has very good qinggong skills. Thinking this way, Ruan Qing felt relieved and watched him disappear into the forest.
Ruan Qing understood: "Is the signal bad? Don't worry, I can understand. Then I will set off to pick you up later?"
The plan that had been delayed for two days was finally implemented.
Twenty-seven: [I found a suitable cave. I didn’t locate this place, it’s a bit far away. But this is the only place where mobile phones can be used. I still have to tidy up the cave. You don’t want to pick me up today. I’ll just spend the night here.]
When the car arrived at the entrance of the village, Ruan Qing was dumbfounded when he saw the group of people waiting eagerly.
The map is terrible, there is nothing, the whole picture is just green.
If the signal is not good and it feels tiring to make phone calls, it is better to send a message.
Aren’t those broken pots and tiles just for show? Why is it actually used? ?
But Twenty-Seven sent a message saying: [I’m going back, and I can’t make calls there. You go as planned tomorrow and I'll wait for you where you enter the mountain.]
Hang up the phone and send a message. The information from Twenty-Seven was slow to come in, but at least the communication was complete.
So plans have changed again
Ruan Qing: [Is it okay to stay overnight? Do you have anything to eat?]
Ruan Qing: "Send a message, send a message!"
Ruan Qing said: "Do you still remember how to use the map software?"
Ruan Qing said: "Watch the time, I will pick you up here at 6pm."
But in recent years, the government has built roads and made it accessible to every village. It should be much better, so there won’t be a whole village chasing her car, Ruan Qing thought.
Ruan Qing drove back to the county hotel by himself.
Most of the villages that are isolated in the mountains are generally poorer than those in the plains. In Ruan Qing's memory, she was taken back to her hometown when she was a child, and everyone in the village chased her car.
Twenty-seven said: "I have been in mountains that are ten times more desolate than this one, and it took me a few months to come out. Don't worry, I will be fine. Although people in the past did not have as many new technologies as you, they were certainly capable of surviving in the wild. It’s stronger than you.”
Twenty-seven said: "No need... to clean up... come..."
Fortunately, a positioning message was sent on the 27th in the afternoon.
Twenty-seven agreed: "Okay."
Ruan Qing can't rest assured.
"I can't say for sure, I'm still in Jiangcheng now." Ruan Qing opened his eyes and lied, "Probably in two days.
Innocent.
Dad Ruan called me: "Just now, your seventh uncle called me specifically to ask me, when will you go over to play?"
Deep in the mountains!
Ruan Qing called over: "Have you found the cave?" Twenty-seven's voice said intermittently: "Found...not this...there is...distance. Only this...opens..."
The convenient food I brought with him today was only a day's supply. I never thought about staying overnight.
ha? Cook those whole grains? What to cook with? Take the broken pot you picked up from the trash heap yesterday
The next day, Ruan Qing rushed to the village with tea, liquor, cigarettes and other things prepared for Uncle Qi.
It's still early in the morning! Many people in the city haven't gotten up yet, but here it feels like the whole village has come out.
Basically she didn't know them all, except the old man at the front who she knew - Uncle Seventh.
Seeing Ruan Qing's car slowly approaching, Uncle Qi's face glowed red and he raised his arms and shouted: "Aihua's daughter is here!"
The big guys rushed over with a huff.
Surge!
"Coming, coming!" "Ruan Qing, do you know me? I'm your aunt!"
"Ruan Qing, I saw you in the factory that year! You had two pigtails!"
"Ruan Qing, I am the fifth uncle of your family!"
"Ruan Qing, why didn't my brother Aihua come?"
Only then did Ruan Qing know what kind of reputation his kind-hearted father had in his hometown. No wonder so many relatives carry whole bags of peanuts, sweet potatoes, and whole grains to her house every year.
The soul of the village.
Ruan Qing opened the car window, smiling so hard that his face was sore, and kept calling everyone: "No, don't stand in front of the car, be careful not to run over me!"
Finally, under the enthusiastic guidance of the villagers, she parked her car at the entrance of the village.
She was surrounded when she got out of the car. When she opened the trunk, she didn't have to carry those things at all. Countless hands helped her carry it, and they surrounded her all the way to Uncle Seventh's house.
Moreover, everyone seemed to be selectively hearing-impaired. No matter how she said "Breakfast," they seemed unable to hear her and still pushed her to the dining table and enthusiastically asked her to have breakfast.
Under so many enthusiastic gazes, Ruan Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat a large roll - bigger than her fist.
A tea egg - said to be stewed all night, it is indeed very delicious.
A bowl of fresh soy milk - it was said that some aunt got up early in the morning to grind it for her.
In order to treat her to this breakfast, Uncle Qi started making arrangements yesterday afternoon.
"It's a pity that Xiangyun is not here. He went to the county for a meeting and won't come back until tomorrow." Uncle Qi said.
After having breakfast together, Uncle Qi let Ruan Qing into the room. He also thought there were too many people, so he drove them away, and then came back to talk to Ruan Qing.
Ruan Qing knew that Ruan Xiangyun was the son of Uncle Seven, and she would call him uncle according to his seniority.
He is the village party secretary in the village. Ruan Qing remembered that he had been to her house and they had met. When she brought Nianqi to the village as a wild man from the mountains, she couldn't avoid him if she wanted to settle down or something.
Ruan Qing exchanged greetings with Uncle Qi, and then expressed his intention to go into the mountain.
Uncle Qi also heard from Ruan's father that Ruan Qing was a designer, an artist, and wanted to collect styles and so on.
He stood up and insisted on arranging a guide for Ruan Qing.
If there were so many people, the play would not go on.
Ruan Qing's face turned green, and he tried his best to push it away - it would take a lot of effort to push away the enthusiasm of the villagers!
Finally, she held Uncle Qi's hand and looked like a good child: "Grandpa Qi, you don't understand, I just want to find inspiration in a deserted place. It must be absolutely quiet, alone, and nothing else." People appear in my field of vision!"
Uncle Seven had no resistance to this cute-looking girl from the granddaughter's generation. He was in a dilemma: "I'm afraid you'll get lost."
Ruan Qing wanted to swear to the sky: "I'm just going to look at the scenery and take pictures. I'm not that kind of traveler. I won't go into the mountains."
Uncle Qi said: "The weather in the mountains is changeable. Every time you climb the mountain, the weather will be the same. The rain will come at any time."
Ruan Qing patted his backpack: "I brought a raincoat."
In the end, Ruan Qing agreed to Uncle Qi that he would only look at the outer edges and not go into the depths. With great difficulty, she finally got into the car. She endured the soreness in her facial muscles, bared her eight teeth, smiled and waved goodbye to Uncle Seven and everyone: "I'm going!"
It was early in the morning, and I felt exhausted before I even started climbing.
The car left the village and drove to a place where she and Twenty-seven had been several times.
I got out of the car and looked around, but I didn't see any trace of Twenty-Seven. When he turned around and was about to call Twenty-Seven, a "monster" descended from the sky like a roc spreading its wings.
Ruan Qing had dealt with half of the village all morning, and was feeling exhausted. Suddenly, he let out a frightened "Ouch" and threw his cell phone away.
Fortunately, the "monster" reached out and grabbed the phone.
Take a closer look, what kind of monster is this? Isn’t this Twenty-Seven
Looking at it again, it’s absolutely stunning.
The second-hand clothes found at the flea market and distressed by Twenty-Seven himself are already worn on the body, and they are mixed and matched. Blue uniform trousers and Taoist robe. The hemp ropes tied around the waist and around the calves must have been picked up from a garbage dump at the entrance of a certain village the night before.
Jun's face was already unshaven, and his long hair, which was greasy from not taking a shower, was tied into a Taoist bun on the top of his head with a peeled branch.
The messy hair was hanging down in strands on the left and right. The beggar-style style is a must-have!
The kitchen knife is tied to the calf, and the hatchet is tied to the waist.
It can no longer be said that he is realistic, it is too realistic!
Ruan Qing patted her chest: "I was scared to death! Why did you pop out suddenly?" Twenty-seven returned the phone to her and pointed upward: "I was afraid that there would be people around, so I hid in the tree to observe."
Ruan Qing looked up and saw a tree two or three stories high.
"There is no one. I didn't see anyone the whole way I drove here." Ruan Qing said, "It's so early and no one has entered the mountain."
Ruan Qing's words highlight the ignorance of city people. Normally at this time, villagers would have entered the mountains long ago.
The villagers who are too old to go out to work will go to the mountains to collect wild products, such as various wild mushrooms, and sell them for money in the town below.
But yesterday Ruan Qing called Uncle Qi in advance to predict that she would come to visit him today. What a face! Uncle Qi hung up the phone and started shouting throughout the village: "Aihua's daughter is coming to see me tomorrow!"
Who in the village doesn't know Ruan Aihua? Every household has a son, daughter-in-law working in his factory.
Although he was not born in the village, he cared about his hometown very much and would come back every three or four years to pay homage to his ancestors.
But his daughter only came back when she was very young, and never came back when she grew up.
Rare.
So the villagers were waiting at the entrance of the village early in the morning to see Ruan Aihua's daughter. No one entered the mountain so early today.
Seeing Nian Qi, Ruan Qing's tiredness disappeared and she became energetic again.
She happily put on her outdoor bag and said, "Let's go, take me to see the scene!"
