Suona sound deep in the mountains

Since then, the wife started to pack her luggage, and from time to time, she went to her sister to ask about the date of departure.She said to everyone she met that everyone in Xianrentan knew that she was going out to work and that I was about to become a village cadre.When I thought of stopping her, it was too late.She no longer cares about herding cattle, which has become my full-time occupation.

Every day I took the cattle up the mountain, and when I got there, I wandered around aimlessly, sometimes staring at the big rock the old man had sat on for a while.

On this day, I came to Houshan by accident, which was the edge of a steep cliff, but it was strange to see a few vegetable fields there.The vegetable field is fenced with a large piece of bamboo, and the vegetable field is full of Chinese cabbage, lettuce, green onions, etc.If you look closely, there is actually a paddy field not far away.A thin stream of water rolled over the edge of the field, and flowed down the mountain wall below with fine waves.In the open space at the corner of the vegetable field, there are a few fruit trees that have lost their leaves.Before I could take a closer look, I heard the sound of a hoe digging into the ground.Following the sound, it is clear that the old man playing the suona is working in the vegetable field.

The old man also saw me, he was shocked at first, then displeased.But not completely hostile to me, he said in a very calm voice: "You still found this place?"

I said, "I was herding cattle. I came here by accident. I didn't expect to see you."

"Since you're here, why don't you come in and sit down?" The old man stopped what he was doing, put down his hoe, and walked out of the fence.

Room?I didn't see any house."Come with me," said the old man.

Not far from a rough road beside the vegetable field, I saw a stone house under a big rock.There are a few chickens pecking at the house.The old man pushed open the wooden door of the stone house and let me in.

This is a real stone house.The house is low, so if you stand a little taller, you can reach the roof with your hands.The roof was made of a huge stone.The surrounding walls are all built with stones, and the stone seams are not plastered, but the seams are seamless and there is no light.It can be seen that the stone grinding technology is exquisite.There are only two rooms in the house, and the one that enters the door is naturally a kitchen, where the stove, dining cabinet, and dining table are all located.The old man sifted tea for me, then went into the inner room, and after a while brought a plate of peanut melon seed candies.These things are good things in normal times, but it is not surprising during this Spring Festival.Also tired of eating.Taking advantage of the moment the old man entered the house, I probed into the back room to take a look, and saw that besides a bed, there were two simple shelves for storing things.But the house was neat and tidy.I drank the tea, and only grabbed one or two melon seed candies in my hand.The old man sighed. I don't know what the old man sighed, so I can't ask more questions.The first two times I was taken away by the old man for unknown reasons, which left me with lingering fears.I was afraid that if I accidentally offended the old man again, he would drive me away again.I just want to spend more time with him.

We each had our own concerns, and neither of us spoke. The scene was dull and embarrassing.I think, the old man has done all the courtesy to me in the first month of hospitality, maybe he wants me to go on my own, and he just drives me away.I don't want to embarrass the old man.He just came out by himself.The old man followed suit and closed the door.I asked: "Aren't you herding the cow today?" The old man signaled with his eyes, it turned out that the cow was grazing on the slope not far away, and I followed his gaze and saw it at a glance.

I said: "Old man, do you still play the suona? Your suona is really good!" I said sincerely.

The old man said lightly: "It's nothing good."

I said, "I'd love to see you. Why don't you want to see me? Can you tell me?"

The old man obviously didn't want to see me and didn't want to tell me.I turned my head and left, leaving me there in a daze...
