Xiaoyan's home is in a mountainous area, a mountain village. Bai Lufei drove for two days. When he was exhausted and finally heard what Xiaoyan said, Bai Lufei was so excited that he almost burst into tears. I have some regrets that I have to follow, self-driving tour is a very terrible thing.
"Where is it?" When Bai Lufei got out of the car and saw only one unbearable dirt road in a vast green forest, Bai Lufei was dumbfounded. Where is this
"Just turn over the mountain ahead, your car will definitely not be able to get in." Xiaoyan glanced at the off-road vehicle and shook her head.
"Crossing the mountains?" Bai Lufei was dumbfounded. Although it was a trivial matter for him to often climb mountains and ridges during army training, he couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought that Xiaoyan's family lived in such a remote mountain village. It was him. Is it too ignorant or is there really too many things he doesn't know, and is there such a remote place
He remembered that when Guan Shao's father was in power, he encouraged the mountain people to get out of the mountains. Why are they still aggrieved in this poor place? Bai Lufei parked the car at the entrance of a simple gas station, and paid them to help take care of the car, before coming to Xiaoyan.
"That's right, you can't climb mountains, can you?" Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, looking down on Bai Lufei, since she is still a soldier, she can't even climb mountains.
"Who said that?" Bai Lufeihu stared, "I'm a famous mountain climber in the army, let's go."
With that said, Bai Lufei rolled up his sleeves, carried the burden in Xiaoyan's hand, and walked forward first.
Xiaoyan burst out laughing: "Hey hey hey, it's not going this way, it's going this way."
Bai Lufei's face turned pale, and he turned back in a gloomy manner.
Both of them were climbing the mountain in silence. In fact, the mountain is not particularly high, and the altitude is only 600 meters. In Bai Lufei's opinion, there is really no big problem. Give him an hour to get it done, but take care of the little ones. Yan is a girl, so she walked full of footsteps. The two stopped and stopped, and it took a long time to reach the top of the mountain.
"It's getting dark, let's go down the mountain faster." Xiaoyan looked at the dark clouds in the distance, it seemed that it was going to rain heavily tonight, and it was really not the time for her to come back at this time.
"You want to be faster?" Bai Lufei raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the mountain road is not easy to walk at night." Xiaoyan replied very simply.
"I have a method, it's very simple." Bai Lufei blinked.
"What can I do?" Xiaoyan asked in a hurry to go home without thinking too much.
"You squat down, I kick you, and you can roll down."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Lufei laughed out loud by himself, and while laughing, he patted Xiaoyan on the shoulder and said that he was joking, don't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, Xiaoyan's face changed, with tears in his eyes, Bai Lufei looked at it, but he was frightened, and felt that he was making a big joke, so he explained: "We used to do this when we were training in the army. Just kidding, there is no malice, don't be angry, don't be angry, or I will make a face for you, just smile."
He is the one who hates girls crying the most, especially Xiaoyan, she is always smiling and has never shed tears, but she actually made him cry with a joke, Bai Lufei felt a little guilty.
He wanted Xiaoyan to smile, so he made a grimace, but the grimace he made was too ugly and funny, so Xiaoyan burst out laughing.
"It's okay, I'm a little excited at the thought of going home." Xiaoyan smiled, "Let's go, it's going to rain."
After saying that, he dragged Bai Lufei down the mountain.
It was a very strange feeling. Bai Lufei looked at the weak little hand holding his hand in shock. He was almost thirty years old, and he grew up surrounded by women in his teens. What kind of woman had he never touched? But why did Xiaoyan have a strange feeling in her heart when she grabbed his hand? No, no, it must be because he hasn't touched a woman for a long time. Concubine Xia is pregnant, and Guan Lingchao becomes chief executive, so he is busy as a top, and has no time to date women, so he will get excited when Xiaoyan touches him.
Well, that's right, that's exactly what it is.
The way down the mountain is much easier than going up, but it took only an hour for the two of them to reach the foot of the mountain. Xiaoyan pointed to the distance and said softly, "It will take another 20 minutes to reach my house."
The lush woods, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers are very suitable for living, but it is too remote and inconvenient to walk. I don’t know who lives here. When he was on the top of the mountain just now, he saw a taller mountain and buildings not far away. Things, like a tourist attraction, like... . The brain immediately began to search.
"By the way, is there a Cixiao Mountain near you?" Bai Lufei asked.
Xiaoyan froze for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, how do you know? Been here?"
Cixiao Mountain is a four-star tourist attraction, so it is not surprising that he has been here.
"No, I've heard of it." When Cixiao Mountain applied for a national tourist attraction, their troops were sent to open the mountain, but Guan Shao refused. He said that my soldiers were all on the front line, and they were determined not to destroy it. Naturally, the soldiers of other troops went there later, and Cixiao Mountain has a lot of background. It is because of an ancient man who was filial to his parents. The ancient man cut him alive in order to prevent his blind parents from starving to death during the great famine. I cooked my own thigh meat for my parents, and finally passed it down after death. Because of Cixiao Mountain, there is such a tourist attraction.
"I guess it's only about 5 kilometers away." Bai Lufei said.
Xiaoyan didn't speak, but continued to walk forward. After walking for a long time, farmers appeared in front of them, and the smoke from the kitchen was curling up. A few old men smoking dry tobacco in the village squinted at the stranger, and an old Sang's voice replied: "You guys Who is it? Come to collect taxes again?"
The people in the village were all dressed in tatters, and these two people were dressed so brightly, who else could it be if they weren't sent by the scenic spot to collect taxes
"Grandpa Bao, it's me, I'm Xiaoyan." Xiaoyan hopped up to the old man and said with a smile.
Grandpa Bao squinted his eyes for a long time before smiling and said: "It turned out to be girl Yan. After going out for half a year, my appearance has changed a lot. I can't recognize the old man. Come and have a look, this is girl Yan." ah."
As he said that, Grandpa Bao called the people around him to come and see Xiaoyan, and his eyes fell on Bai Lufei who was behind Xiaoyan. He was a tall and handsome guy, and he was dressed very nicely. He was a child from a big city, right? Xiaoyan has really gained a lot of experience after going out this trip, and she has such a good eye when looking for my uncle.
"Girl Yan, is this your uncle?"
Xiaoyan blushed, quickly shook her head and said no.
"Don't be ashamed. Girls should get married. You are not young anymore. You can have a family and have children. You should go home quickly. Your parents will be very happy to see you." Grandpa Bao looked at Bai Lu nonchalantly. Smile, that smile looks ambiguous.
Xiaoyan said goodbye to Grandpa Bao and other elders and walked towards her door.
They were speaking in dialect, and Bai Lufei didn't understand a single word, as if he was listening to a scripture from heaven, but seeing the old man's ambiguous smile, he trembled in his heart. Seeing Xiaoyan leave, he also followed, bowed his head and asked the old man What, otherwise why would you laugh like that.
Thinking of what Grandpa Bao said, Xiaoyan blushed again, and said quickly, "Grandpa Bao praised you for being handsome."
Bai Lufei rubbed his nose and laughed: "That's right, I, Bai Lufei, am a famous handsome guy in Kyoto, I'm number two, no one dares to be number one."
"Really? What about the Chief Executive?"
When Xiaoyan asked such a rhetorical question, Bai Lufei almost choked to death with his saliva, and quickly said, "I said something other than the chief executive..."
Xiaoyan smiled without saying a word, quickened her pace and walked towards a dilapidated house, Bai Lufei was taken aback, this is Xiaoyan's home? Isn't it too shabby and simple? It's just a mud house. If it's raining and windy, won't the house collapse? Can people live
This is the 21st century, why are we still so backward and poor
"Father, mother, I'm back." Xiaoyan yelled as soon as she reached the gate of the yard. A thin woman with a turban and a sick face came out from the back room. When she saw Xiaoyan, she burst into tears flowed out.
"Wow my swallow."
Xiaoyan rushed forward, hugged her mother and started crying. After crying for a long time, Xiaoyan wiped away her tears and asked softly, "Where's dad?"
"Your father." Mother Yan wiped away her tears, "Your father was beaten for the first time, and his legs were broken."
Xiaoyan was taken aback for a moment, then pushed her mother away and ran into the house.
Bai Lufei stood awkwardly in the yard. Xiaoyan's mother wiped her eyes, looked at this handsome, well-dressed man, and asked tremblingly, "Who are you?"
Although Bai Lufei couldn't understand what she was talking about, but seeing her expression, he guessed that it was almost inseparable, so he smiled: "My name is Bai Lufei, I am Xiaoyan's friend, and I will come to see you with her. "
Xiaoyan's mother didn't show any expression on her face, but she was still a little worried. Looking at her simple yard, she felt a little uneasy: "You... just find a place to sit." After saying that, she turned and went into the house .
Bai Lufei didn't know what she was talking about, so bored, he followed into the room, and heard Xiaoyan's miserable cry, which made people chill. The room smelled of Chinese medicine and musty. Bai Lufei wrinkled his nose, looking at the windy walls, he couldn't help shaking his head, feeling chills in his heart.
There was only one room, separated by two cloth curtains, in the middle was a big Eight Immortals table and a small square table, on which were placed three bowls and chopsticks, and a plate of dark things, Bai Lufei concluded that It's pickles, the curtain may be separating the bedroom, Xiaoyan is crying here in the east, and it's not convenient for him to go in, so he stands in the narrow living room. It looks crowded.
It took a while for Xiaoyan to be helped out by her mother. Xiaoyan's eyes were already swollen from crying, but seeing Bai Lufei standing in the middle of the room, she found a rattan stool for Bai Lufei to sit down on. Opening the cloth curtain on the west side and going in, there was a low voice coming from inside, helplessly speaking in dialect, Bai Lufei couldn't understand a sentence.
He can still understand if he speaks a foreign language, but it is a dialect, the dialect in the mountains, like Martian language, where can he understand it
Not long after, Xiaoyan came out, sat in front of her mother, took her mother's hand, and said softly: "Mom, send my father outside the mountain for treatment."
"I can't go out." Xiaoyan's mother wiped her tears. She also wanted to take her husband out for treatment, but her son needed to be taken care of. There was not much labor in the village, only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were left. Where could she go? I can only wait to die.
"Political Commissar Bai." Xiaoyan suddenly turned to look at Bai Lufei, her eyes were very firm, and Bai Lufei's heart was trembling. Before she could react, Xiaoyan knelt down for him, and Bai Lufei was startled Jump, almost jumped up, and quickly helped Xiaoyan up.
"What are you doing?"
"I beg you to save my father." Xiaoyan said with tears all over her face.
"What's going on?" Bai Lufei said with a serious face.
"My dad... My dad had a dispute with someone some time ago and his leg was broken. Now he is sick in bed. If he doesn't get medical treatment, he will probably die."
Bai Lufei was startled: "I'll go in and have a look."
He is a soldier, a soldier, and he was injured during training, which was all done by himself, but when he went inside and saw a man with a dry appearance lying on the bed, he was speechless immediately, his eyes were sore, and he was lying on the bed. Where is the person? It’s just a mummy. His eyes are sunken and lifeless. You can see the bones.
What the hell is going on here? What kind of person is crazy to beat a person like this
Bai Lufei's heart ached for Xiaoyan. Her father's death was approaching, and even Immortal Da Luo might not be able to save her.
Bai Lufei backed out, pulled Xiaoyan aside, and said in a low voice, "Tell me, who did it?"
Xiaoyan was stunned, sniffled, and said softly: "It's the developer of Cixiao Mountain. At that time, we all lived near Cixiao Mountain. The mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the whole village lived well. Suddenly one day, we said that we would develop Cixiao Mountain. , Let us all move away, don't give us subsidies, if we don't move, we will tear down the house, beat people, and arrest the strong men to start the mountain. My brother... At that time, there was a dispute with the son of the developer. He was only 13 years old and was tied up to the mountain to die Rolled down from the top of the mountain and lay paralyzed on the bed..."
Bai Lufei was taken aback, thinking of what he said before, no wonder Xiaoyan would cry, such a heinous thing would happen.
"Later we were forced to move. I was still in high school, and my parents started a hawker business in a nearby town in order to treat my brother's illness and pay for my education. But they were almost hospitalized by the urban management. Later, there was nowhere to go. Other people in the village moved here, and my younger brother’s illness became more serious. I had no choice but to go out to work...” At that time, she was excellent in her studies, and she was only a year away from the college entrance examination. The teacher also said that she would definitely be admitted to Kyoto University , and then dropped out of school to work part-time. She thought of Kyoto University in her heart, so she came to Kyoto. When she was lucky, she actually worked as a nanny for the Chief Executive and the First Lady. Although this was the case, she dared not tell them these things.
One is that they are too busy, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so they may not be able to manage them;
The second is that she is too inferior to speak out.
"I didn't expect these people to let the strong men in the village carry mineral water and drinks up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain for the sake of the business on the top of the mountain. The mountain is very steep, and many people fell to their deaths. My father didn't agree, so they broke your legs, husband and wife. You saw it just now..."
Xiaoyan was so choked up that she couldn't speak.
Bai Lufei clenched his fists tightly. He never thought that such a scum would exist. After returning to the capital, he would definitely tell Guan Lingchao about this, and let Guan Lingchao deal with these people, making them arrogant and lawless again. The curious thing is, when Cixiao Mountain was developed, didn't you ask officers and soldiers to help? Why is the labor force of the village still expropriated? Thinking of this, Bai Lufei frowned.
At the beginning, there were rumors that there was bribery in the army, but he still didn't believe it. He thought that someone was slandering the army. It seems that this time he has to report this matter to Guan Lingchao, and he must investigate thoroughly.
"Xiaoyan, don't worry, your business is my business." Bai Lufei patted Xiaoyan's shoulder, but Xiaoyan's mother was frightened, and hurriedly pulled her daughter and asked her what relationship she had with Bai Lufei , Bai Lunfei said it was just a friendship relationship.
How could Xiaoyan's mother believe that if she was just a friend, who would accompany her to this deep mountain and old forest, and even ask for help? That kind and filial person is someone in the central government, most people dare not touch him, how powerful is this person
"Mom, don't worry, I'm going to see my father." After saying that, Xiaoyan went into the back room, and Bai Lufei followed, but when he saw the man on the bed, Bai Lufei felt uncomfortable again up.
Xiaoyan's father is still somewhat aware. He felt it when a man came in just now, and now that he came in again, he knew it in his heart. His big hand, which was bloodless and only veined, held Xiaoyan's hand, muttering I don't know what to say, Xiaoyan shook her head, crying and said Dad, you have to stand up, and I will heal your leg.
The middle-aged man weakly shook his hand, and beckoned to Bai Lufei, telling him to come over: "Young man, how old are you this year?"
Xiaoyan's father has been outside and can speak some Mandarin.
Bai Lun's dishonest answer told him his age.
"Twenty-nine is not too big. My Xiaoyan is eighteen. If you have the heart, you can kowtow to Xiaoyan at my house tonight to get married, and I can leave with peace of mind."
Xiaoyan cried and shook her head, Bai Lufei was stunned, and opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was not Xiaoyan's boyfriend, but there was a strange light and anticipation in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to tell the truth, so he just didn't speak.
"I know... people have a lot of dowry when they marry a girl. Look at my family. I don't have anything to ask for. I am an old man who is still wasting food on the bed. It is wronged for you to marry Xiaoyan, but the young man, my Yanzi He is a good boy, studies well, and has filial piety, but his future has been ruined by those bastards, or he would be a university student in Kyoto now." Speaking of his daughter, the man smiled, "I just hate I am incompetent."
As he said that, he was about to beat his leg.
Xiaoyan hugged her father's body, crying and telling him not to mess around.
Xiaoyan's mother stood beside the curtain and silently wiped her tears.
No one can experience this kind of sadness.
"Young man, will you promise me?"
Bai Lufei looked at Xiaoyan, then at the middle-aged man, nodded, and said solemnly: "Father-in-law, please treat me like a son-in-law."
Xiaoyan was stunned, it was the first time she saw such a solemn Bai Lufei, she was speechless in surprise, but also found it unbelievable that she wanted to marry Bai Lufei? God, isn't she dreaming
"Fucking child, go get ready and let everyone in the village come to our house to drink at night. Our swallow is going to get married, hehe, cough, cough..." Once excited, the middle-aged man coughed, and even He coughed up blood, and the blood was black.
Bai Lufei felt pain in his heart one after another, and he might not last long.
Xiaoyan's mother responded and went out.
Xiaoyan finished wiping her father's mouth and waited for him to sleep, then dragged Bai Lufei out of the yard with a blushing expression on her face: "Commander Bai...what my father said...don't take it seriously...I'm not good enough for you...you He is the proud son of heaven..."
Bai Lufei had no intention of getting married. He promised Xiaoyan's father just to let him go at ease. Hearing what Xiaoyan said, he felt relieved and smiled: "Don't worry, you haven't reached the age of marriage yet. , this is just a formality, I will not take advantage of you, after you leave here, you will still be you, and I will still be me."
After hearing this, Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little lost in her heart for no reason.
They really don't match, who is Bai Lufei, and who is she
