Through the cultivation of tang pear leaves rouge color

Walk along the main road to the end of the village, where there is a very large banyan tree. On one side of the banyan tree is a river, and on the other side there is a road extending far away. There is a small temple not far from the banyan tree.

Dong Wu pointed to the road extending out, "Going down from here, you can reach the county seat. It takes about half an hour to get there, or you can go there by boat, which takes about half an hour."

Song Li looked at the mist-shrouded river and nodded.

Dong Wu led him around the small temple and walked up the mountain ridge behind.

This is not such a high mountain. There are some houses, some land, and trees on the mountain.

Walking up the mountain, there was grass that was not short, and the dew was heavy in the morning. Dong Wu put on the coir raincoat that he had brought for Song Li. Song Li felt uncomfortable wearing the coir rain cape, which was heavy and restricted his movements, so he said, "Don't wear this coir rain cape. Can't you?"

Dong Wu straightened his collar and said, "The dew is too heavy, if you don't wear the coir raincoat, your clothes will get wet."

Song Li said, "Just let the clothes get wet."

Dong Wu disapproved and said, "Your clothes are wet, it's so cold, you will get sick. I'll lead you away, don't bother, don't take off the coir raincoat."

Song Li had no choice but to wear such a thing, feeling like a tortoise with a tortoise shell on its back.

There is a not narrow stone step road to the mountain, the two of them climbed up, the eastern sky has been stained with orange red morning glow, everything in the east is soaked in that layer of red, the river flowing down from a distance seems to be a With a layer of golden light flowing slowly, to the west are the village houses of their village, with black tiled roofs, white walls and black tiles, dark green trees, and figures like black spots can be seen walking out of the village. on the way...

The rice has grown very well, the paddy field is green, and several mulberry trees are dotted between the field ridges. Song Li thought, if he had a camera, he would definitely record all of these, because everything is so beautiful, and At this moment, he could only open his eyes wide, deeply imprinting everything in front of him in his mind.

Not long after climbing, Song Li was so tired that he was out of breath, his feet were heavy as if they were not his own, and the coir raincoat on his back was so heavy that he couldn't straighten up, and couldn't take a step.

But Dong Wu didn't seem to feel tired at all, and even his breath was as steady as if he hadn't climbed such a high hill. Song Li hung almost his whole body on him, panting, "Let's rest for a while, it's too late to carry this coir raincoat on your back." It's so heavy, I can't walk."

Dong Wu smiled when he saw him hanging exaggeratedly on his body, supported him and let him lean on his body for a while, and after resting for a while, Song Li said that he could leave before continuing. Before walking 50 meters, Song Li He couldn't do it anymore, he was gasping for breath, his eyes were dark, he pulled Dong Wu to rest, Dong Wu took off the pannier from his back, squatted down in front of Song Li, and said, "Come on, climb on my back, I'll carry you. "

Song Li gasped and refused, "No, no need, I'll go by myself..."

"Come up quickly." Dong Wu demanded, raising his eyes to look at Song Li very seriously, Song Li got a glance from him, his heart moved, and he lay on his back.It seems that Dong Wu still has the majesty of a patriarch, every time Song Li is looked at by him with a serious face, he has no way to resist him.

Dong Wu supported his buttocks with one hand, and carried the pannier with the other. His steps were not heavier than before, and he climbed up the mountain very easily.

Song Li was still a little awkward at first, supporting Dong Wu's back with his hands instead of leaning on him, but gradually he put his whole body on Dong Wu's back, put his hands around Dong Wu's neck, and leaned his face against his. On the shoulder, I looked at the surrounding scenery from time to time, and felt that it was really good to be carried on the back.

Song Li was much smaller than Dong Wu, and his height was less than his shoulders. For Dong Wu, Song Li was too light, carrying him was like carrying nothing.

However, the feeling in his heart was very different. When he thought of Song Li on his back, he was extremely happy, his heartbeat seemed to change, and he became happier.

There are many plum trees and peach trees on the mountain, and no one is looking after them. The fruits are growing well, shining crystal brightly against the morning dew.

The eastern sky was already brilliant golden, the sun showed half of its face on the horizon, it was glowing red, and in an instant, the whole earth was dyed by that golden light, Song Li felt that the first rays of the sun were shot into him His eyes were so sharp that he was in a trance for a moment, and then he saw the world under the mountain brighten up in the brilliant sun, and the whole world was full of vitality.

Song Li asked Dong Wudao, "Are you tired, I'll come down and walk by myself!"

Dong Wudao, "I'm not tired, I'll be there in a while, I'll just carry you on my back."

The two walked through a small village on the mountain, and after a while, Dong Wu said, "We're here, come down!"

Song Li climbed down from Dong Wu's body and saw a small path leading to a few apricot trees. He pointed to that side and said, "Is that there?"

Dong Wu nodded, "Well, there are more in the past, a total of 87 trees."

Song Li thought that more than 80 trees were quite a lot, and there were apricot trees planted around this place. Adding these other people's houses, there should be hundreds of trees on the entire hillside, so he sighed, "When the apricot trees bloom, Isn't the mountain full of pink and white apricot blossoms, isn't it very beautiful at that time!"

Dong Wu smiled at him, "You will be able to see these trees next year when they bloom again, so come and see for yourself!"

Song Li also laughed, and replied, "Okay!"

Most of the apricots on the tree have turned into a ripe yellow color, only a few of them are a little bit blue. Every tree is full of fruits, which looks very beautiful. Song Li turned his eyes on the apricot tree and said, "It's so beautiful!"

Dong Wu smiled and stretched out his hand to pick a large golden apricot from the tree, wiped the skin well with his hand, then handed it to Song Li, and said, "Do you want to eat it?"

Song Li received it in his hand, saw how attractive the apricot was, so he broke it open, ate half of it himself, and handed the other half to Dong Wu, Dong Wu took it and put it in his mouth, Song Li also took his own half slowly. After biting into it, after taking the first bite, he was so sour that his eyes narrowed immediately, he kept smacking his tongue, and said, "Why is it so sour."

Dong Wu smiled when he saw his bulging cheeks, and said, "This kind of apricot is specially used to make sour dried apricots. After being pickled with sugar, it still has a sour taste. It can be seen that this kind of dried apricot is indeed very sour."

Seeing Dong Wu explaining to him with a smile on his face, Song Li complained, "Did you not remind me on purpose? Why didn't you say it was sour when you ate it just now, and just waited to see if I was sour?"

Dong Wu smiled and said, "No, it's just for you to taste it. If you tell me, you probably won't taste it."

"Let me taste such sour food." Song Li stared, throwing away the unfinished food.

Dong Wu took his hand amusedly, led him forward, and said, "There are a few apricot trees in front that are not of this variety, and they are not sour. I will take you to pick them and eat them."

Only then did Song Li look better.

The sun rises and shines in the apricot forest, shining through the gaps in the leaves. The fruit trees with the morning dew are crystal clear and lovely.

Song Li asked a question, and said, "No one comes to look at these trees, aren't you afraid that others will steal the fruit?"

Dong Wu didn't want him to ask such a question, so he thought for a while before saying, "I haven't heard of anyone throwing apricots at home. Every household here has them. Why do you want to steal other people's homes? Moreover, these apricots are so sour. Dried apricots, if you eat them empty-handed, eating two more will make your teeth sour."

Song Li could only think that the ancient people were too simple and no one had this habit of stealing, so he had no choice but to stop talking about this issue.

Here, the code of ethics is very strict. The country has strict laws and regulations. Under the state machine, there are clan rules below. Even in a village, everyone supervises each other. The elders in the village have to deal with The rights and responsibilities of disputes, so, except for not wanting to live a good life, no one will violate these norms in people's minds.

If there is any dispute, it is usually settled in the family first. If the family cannot resolve it, then let the elders in the village judge it. If it still cannot be resolved in the village, you can also ask more convincing and respected people to help. If there is still no conclusion, or both parties in the dispute are still unconvinced, then the lawsuit will be brought to the Yamen.

The ancients were very good at self-government. Although this kind of self-government often makes people feel unfair, it is the best way to restrain people.

Therefore, things that go to the yamen are generally relatively big things, and trivial things won't make trouble.

Song Li didn't know this, so he would always ask Dong Wu strange questions.

Dong Wu took Song Li to look at all his apricot trees on the hillside. The sun had already risen quite high, and the few apricot trees that Dong Wu said were sweeter were located on the outside of the hillside.

Song Li sat on the rock by the side of the mountain, finally took off his coir raincoat, and immediately felt relaxed. He squinted and looked at the scenery down the mountain. Dong Wu picked a lot of apricots from the tree and piled them on Song Li's seat on the stone, said, "Eat it, this one is not too sour."

Song Li was scared by the acid just now, held an apricot and looked at it for a long time, then asked, "It's really not sour."

Dong Wu nodded, and ate one himself. Song Li wiped the apricot and ate it into his mouth. This apricot was smaller than the one Dong Wu gave him just now, and the color was more orange-yellow, but it was indeed much sweeter. Song Li After eating, he said, "It's really not too sour, and the taste is quite good."

Dong Wu patted his head, as if pampering a small animal, and said, "You sit here and eat, don't run around, I'll pick some apricots and carry them back."

Song Li nodded, and sat on a rock, eating apricots, basking in the sun, watching the scenery, and waiting for Dong Wu.

Dong Wu left for a long time before returning with a basket on his back. When he came back, there was a large basket of apricots in the basket, and Song Li had already eaten the apricots Dong Wu had picked for him.

Dong Wu put the basket on the stone, and seeing Song Li eating so many apricots, he frowned and said, "It's not good to eat too many apricots. I'll pick some more for you to eat, but I can't eat them today."

Song Li hurriedly said, "I finished eating before I knew it, and I can't take it anymore if you let me eat it. My mouth is full of sour taste."

Dong Wu shook his head helplessly with a smile, picked some sweet apricots and put them in the basket, then covered the basket with a coir raincoat, carried it on his back, took Song Li's hand, and said, "Let's go back."

Song Li was reluctant to leave the mountain, "Are you going back now?"

Dong Wu said, "How long do you want to sit here? It's time to go back to have lunch."

Song Li looked at his stomach, "I ate so many apricots just now, I'm already full, I'm sure I won't be able to eat when I go back."

Dong Wu took him by the hand and led him out from the apricot grove and up the stone-stepped mountain road. When going down the mountain, he also met a few farmers on the mountain. Everyone who saw Dong Wu would say hello and ask With a voice, "Wu Lang came to see the apricots? Most of the apricots are ripe, it's time to get down the tree."

Dong Wu responded, when others saw Song Li, almost everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help but ask, "Is this your fairy wife? She really looks very handsome."

Song Li was always embarrassed by the words, thinking that he was a man, but it was really embarrassing to be judged like this, so he leaned sideways and hid behind Dong Wu to avoid other people's sight, but was regarded as a man. being shy.

Walking down the mountain, I met many people on the road at the foot of the mountain. Everyone here knew each other, and they all wanted to greet each other warmly. When they saw Song Li being brought by Dong Wu, they would be taken aback for a while, and then they would give a compliment. Dong Wu's daughter-in-law is really handsome.He only told Song Li that he didn't know how to deal with it, and just followed Dong Wu in silence.

This was the first time that Dong Wu took Song Li out. Afterwards, the people in the village inevitably said a few words when they had time to finally see Dong Wu's new daughter-in-law. Ben also wanted to say that Dong Wu's new daughter-in-law was just good-looking, but she was the aunt who married her home to confess. I have to say that Dong Wu's pretty daughter-in-law is very skillful in the kitchen, and the things she makes are better than those in the restaurants in the county town.

In fact, there are not many serious people in the village who have eaten the dishes in the big restaurants in the county. However, after saying this, the men look at Dong Wu differently. Said, he also cooks a good meal, and can do it at home. Looking at Jiao Didi, he doesn't speak loudly and has a good temper. Dong Wu has accumulated a lot of blessings in his lifetime to be able to marry such a daughter-in-law; Li's eyes are also different. In the past, everyone just thought he was beautiful and he was pretty. What's the use if he can't do it. Now he cooks good food, and the most famous and influential people in the village say good things about him. Looking at him makes me sour for a while.
