The world's first village

Chapter 18 Homecoming
Returning to the dream is like spring water, leisurely circling the hometown.

June 2016, 6 at six o'clock in the morning.

When the first ray of morning light pierced through the mist, passed through the glass windows of the rented house in Shilin, and shone on his face, it woke him up.

I woke up refreshed and when I went downstairs, I also woke up my sister who was sleeping next door.

After the two of them washed up and had breakfast, they put the things they bought home in the past few days and Shi Ling's luggage in the rear compartment.

Shi Lin sat in the driver's cab, Shi Ling sat in the passenger cab, together with a dog and a bird, they drove on the road eagerly missing their hometown.

Speaking of going back to their hometown from Rong City, they plan to take the west route, which means they have to go through famous scenic spots such as Duyan City, Wenchuan, and Jiugou. In [-], he didn't dare to take risks, he would be happy if he didn't get caught by the traffic police, it was too troublesome.

The west route is more difficult to walk, especially in the latter part of the journey, the mountain peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mountain trails are winding and winding, making the journey difficult.In fact, in the plateau area, the most feared thing is that the driver will have altitude sickness, that is, lack of oxygen, and he is very prone to sleepiness, so it is more likely to have a car accident.

Like the 3500-meter-high zone, the altitude sickness becomes more intense as you go up, so you must drink anti-altitude sickness medicines such as plateau red. People who are slightly troubled will experience dizziness and nosebleeds, and those who are more serious may suffer from shock.

However, Shi Lin has been genetically modified by Yuye, and his physique is stronger than ordinary people, and his body is agile, so he drives very nimbly. Besides, he himself is used to life in high altitudes, so altitude sickness is not a problem for him.

The main project of Dujiangyan is to divide the water flow of the Minjiang River into two streams, one of which is introduced into the Sichuan Plain, so as to divert floods and reduce disasters, and to divert water to irrigate the fields and turn harm into profit.

The other one flows into the Yangtze River.Dujiangyan is actually a historical water conservancy project, proposed and built by Li Bing, governor of Shu County, more than 2000 years ago.

The road from Rong to Dujiangyan is very flat. Driving beside the stone forest, I chatted and laughed with my little sister, and occasionally the parrot chimed in.

"Boss, the emperor, I saw that the human child has finished growing up, and the adults wiped their butts, why do they have to wipe their butts?" The parrot asked inexplicably again.

"Haha, brother, your Majesty's question is so strange! Your Majesty, the child's butt is dirty after stretching! Of course you must wipe it clean!"

Shi Ling watched Shi Lin concentrate on driving, and when he heard Pet Bird asking such a retarded question, his cheeks turned red with laughter, and he answered for his brother.

"Then princess, why didn't the boss wipe our ass after the dog and I finished pulling?" The bird asked with a childish face.

"Hehe, you're laughing so hard! Brother, the emperor asked you why you didn't wipe his butt for him!" Shi Ling laughed so much that tears flowed down his face this time.

"Stupid bird, that's because you and the dog's butts are too small to wipe!" Shi Lin replied with a serious face without thinking much.

"Oh, boss, do you want to wipe your ass?"

"It's a waste of time, of course I want to wipe it!"

"Oh, Boss, I understand! Boss wipes his ass because his butt is big, and Boss's butt is so big!" The parrot got the answer and immediately screamed!His eyes seemed to be very clear.

"I'm counting on you, dead bird! You actually played me! I'm driving, and I'll clean your ass with a steel wool ball when I get home!"

"Oh, I can't take it anymore! Brother, my stomach hurts from laughing!" Shi Ling laughed even more.

……

"Boss, I still don't understand. Do you wipe your butt with your left hand or your right hand?" The parrot stared at Shi Lin with round eyes and asked again.

"It's a waste of time, of course the right hand is used! Stupid bird, the right hand is convenient! A child knows such a simple question." Shi Lin answered very simply and neatly while driving.

"Boss, I'm still a little surprised. I saw those children wiped it with paper. Why did you wipe it with your hands? Didn't you just say it's not clean?"

"Hehe, brother, the emperor is so fun!" Shi Ling snorted, and a silver bell-like laugh echoed in the car.

……

Although sometimes this bird is quite annoying, but with this bird on the road, I feel that time flies, and I will soon be near Jiugou. The trees on the roadside are lush and picturesque. The narrow lanes forced traffic to slow down.

Stopped at the Tibetan and Qiang ethnic style restaurants by the roadside, and after a short rest, we drove on the road in a hurry. Who told Shilin that he was in good spirits!
Starting at seven o'clock in the morning, the car did not arrive at Jiugou until around three o'clock in the afternoon.Seeing that there is only 150 kilometers away, people are more excited to drive. When stopping on the way, Shi Ling fell asleep in the back seat of the car, but the road here is really rough, and there are some bumps. Shi Ling is really shaking and uncomfortable , and switched to the co-pilot to chat with my brother.

"Brother, this road is really difficult. Fortunately, the car is good!"

"Well, it's actually faster to take the detour from the neighboring province. I can't use the new driver's license, so I can't drive on the expressway."

"I miss my parents a little, and I haven't been back for half a year."

"Hehe, we'll be there in two or three hours. My parents must be very happy to see us! We didn't say we'd be back today!"

"Hee hee, you must be shocked to see us coming home suddenly, especially if you are driving!"

……

When it was approaching six o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Lin and Shi Ling looked at the familiar scenery in front of them, the familiar Love Village, and they were very excited.

At this time, the sun had already slanted westward to the horizon, and the mountain peaks at the head of the village had already blocked the sun's rays, constricting the harsh light at noon, leaving only a large circle of soft orange halo around it, turning towards light blue. The transition is like clear sea water, the farther away from the sky, the bluer and thicker it becomes.

The peaks and mountains in the sky are green in color, and under the reflection of the setting sun, they are dyed with a layer of shining gold, making them look particularly magnificent.

The closer they are to the village, the more cowardly they are. This is the mood of the two of them now.

The car drives into the entrance and exit of the village. The entrance and exit of Love Village is at the four o'clock direction of the heart shape, that is, the southeast direction.

Surrounded by a heart-shaped love village, the only entrance and exit of the village is the road in front of Shilin, which runs through to the lake center island in the center of the village.

The sky was gray, Shi Lin turned on the headlights, and the muffled sound of the Mercedes Benz broke the tranquility of the surroundings. At this time, the villagers had just returned home from farming, and they were very surprised when they encountered some strange cars on the road!

Although it is said that over the years, some people in the village have bought modified cars, but they are a minority after all. Whoever drives the car can clearly see what kind of car it is. At this time, the car in front of the villagers looks very high-end, and the orange-yellow body looks very shiny.

"Hey, whose car is that? It's not from our village!" Some villagers in the village were a little surprised when they saw a strange car driving into the village.

"That's right, it's driving a little faster, and it's hard to see who's driving it!"

In fact, Shi Lin wasn't driving fast, but he was a little trembling. Although he saw some familiar people in front of him, he didn't stop the car. They were too eager to see their parents, and there were more villagers.

"Brother, it seems to be Dad and Mom in front, they are really similar!...Brother, they are really parents, drive faster...Dad! Mom!"

Seeing the familiar figure in front of him, Shi Ling pulled down the car window, stretched out his head, and shouted in surprise.

"Honey, who is calling us? I think it's the spirit girl. Did I hear it wrong?" Shi Lin's father Shi Jian heard the voice, but he felt a little confused and surprised. He looked around but couldn't see his daughter. .

"You heard me right, she's really a spiritual girl! Didn't see it! Hey, look! Is it in the car behind?"

Shi Lin's mother, Huang Fengmei, also heard a voice that sounded like her daughter's. She turned her head to look at the source of the sound, and saw a car coming from behind. The source is passed from the car.

Shi Lin drove to the side of his parents, honked the horn, and called out to his parents, "Dad, Mom! Here, in the car!"

As soon as the car stopped, Shi Ling quickly opened the car door, impatiently ran to her mother and hugged her tightly, tears streaming down her face: "Mom, I miss you!"

"Good girl, mom misses you too. Why don't you call and talk about it when you come back! You're all crying like little cats, and you should be happy when you go home. How grown up!" Huang Fengmei stroked her daughter's back and wiped her cheeks. Tears, asked with concern, a little sad, choked up.

"Dad, Mom, we're back!"

Shi Lin followed behind Shi Ling, his tone was a bit heavy, not like his sister, he always kept his thoughts in his heart, but he felt his eyes were a little moist.

In fact, I haven't been out for a long time. It has only been three or four months since I returned home during the Chinese New Year.The main reason is that Shi Lin felt different when he came home this time. Seeing his parents' wrinkled faces again, with some gray temples, he really didn't know what it was like.

"Well, just go home, why did you drive back? Whose car is this?"

Shi Lin's father actually talks a lot and likes to play with his son, but now he sees that his son and daughter are different, almost unrecognizable, the change is too big, and he just went to school not long after the Chinese New Year, he was very shocked .

"Wow, Lao Shi, this is your son and daughter. You can't even recognize them, especially your daughter. She really has the temperament of a big star. I don't know if I don't shout!"

"What a beautiful car, isn't the front of this car a Mercedes-Benz logo?! It's much more beautiful than the son of the old Wang's family in the village!"

"Old Shi, isn't your baby still studying? Wow, that's weird!"

……

Shi Lin's family stayed by the car, illuminated by the headlights, causing villagers passing by to gather around and discuss.Seeing this, Shi Lin returned to his car and took two Yellow Crane Towers, dismantled them and distributed a pack to each of the villagers.

"Lin Wazi, what a smoke!"

"Little Lin, hehe, thank you, 30 yuan a pack, generous enough!"

"Lin Wa, you are much better than that kid in my family. Thank you, Uncle Yan!"

……

The villagers received the cigarettes from Shi Lin, saying that they cannibalize people with short mouths and soft hands, and they say all kinds of good things.

In fact, these villagers are all acquaintances, and they have helped Shi Lin's family more or less. The villagers in the mountains are so simple, honest, and know how to be grateful.

"Dad, Mom, get in the car, let's talk when we go home! Uncles and aunts, let's go home first, and visit another day when we are free!" Shi Lin saw more and more people, as if he couldn't finish talking, God It's getting a little dark, and if the excitement continues, I don't know when it will be.

"Son, I'm a little gray. This car is so beautiful. Let your dad and I walk home. It's not far away!"

"Mom, it's okay. The car belongs to our family. It's just for riding. Get on it. It's okay. If it's dirty, just wash it."

Shi Lin looked at his mother like that, really didn't want to say much, opened the car door, and pushed his parents into the car.Shi Ling also got into the car, started the car, and prepared to drive home.

Everyone waved their hands and separated, leaving only amazement.
