Things about village flowers

"It's a white fox!"I was the first to come back to my senses, and looked at the white shadow that had just rushed past and exclaimed. I thought, I must have alerted the gods when I entered the cave just now, and disturbed the long-dormant fox fairy, so I quickly left the place where this was wrong. , go ahead, who knows what these wild boys will do next, you know, children are uncertain, unlucky! For many years, no one has been involved in this, and it has become a forgotten corner. Fortunately, I can sit back and relax. Alas, there are unforeseen circumstances. Now I have to find another place to live out my life.

"I look like a mountain rabbit!"Some say

"Nonsense, mountain rabbits are all brown, that's for sure not."Some people retorted

"There are also white mountain hares, called snow hares, but they are more common in the Northeast and are unlikely to come here."I explained

"That's a domestic rabbit. There are many white rabbits."The person who was talking about the mountain rabbit said again.

I couldn't help laughing after hearing this,"Haha, if you say that, it is not impossible. Someone's rabbit got lost when he went out and entered the hill by mistake. He accidentally died. It’s back to the mountain rabbit."

Everyone laughed loudly after hearing this.

After laughing, everyone turned back to continue the topic.

"Looks like a dog to me."Someone else said,"It's impossible to say it's a white fox. It has become extinct a long time ago. No one has seen it in at least ten or twenty years."

"It can't be a dog. The dogs here never go up the mountain. Even if they are wild dogs, going up the mountain means seeking death and having nothing to eat."Some say

"That's the wolf! ?"Someone said in a less firm tone. Until now, everyone is basically guessing.

"Just pull it off! Almost ten years ago, the wolf disappeared without a trace, and you couldn't even hear a wolf howl. You thought Hu Hansan (the central villain of the movie"Sparkling Red Star") was back in the Homecoming Group!"Someone said again.

Everyone laughed.

"I did see clearly that the pointed-billed monkey's cheeks looked like those of a white fox, and I particularly noticed a big fluffy tail trailing behind its butt."I still insisted on my opinion.

At this time, someone retorted,"Dogs also have long tails. My dog's tail is very big. It drags to the ground like a broom. When the dog walks around on the ground, its butt is behind the ground. It became clean immediately."

Everyone laughed again after hearing this. The chatter of each other's arguments was endless, but it was also very interesting. Before it was noon, everyone felt hungry, so they dropped the topic and quickly lit a fire to grill crab roe for lunch.

Everyone split up. They moved to collect firewood and branches, and soon they lit three piles of firewood on the stone surface next to the Fox Fairy Cave. When the fire was strong, they threw the crabs into the fire one after another, and used the branches to flip the crabs over to let them heat evenly. The crabs were roasted instantly to produce a pungent burnt aroma, which spread across the mountains and fields with the mountain breeze. Maybe the white fox that escaped earlier (I decided it was a white fox, no matter what others thought) would also smell this smell. Will it be greedy? Maybe not, because it has become an immortal through cultivation and has become a fox spirit.

The wind helped the fire, and it burned more and more fiercely. Everyone was busy adding firewood and wood to the fire, and it burned into three piles in a short time. The ashes and crabs were all suffocated in it, and the rich burnt aroma had already made everyone salivate and salivate. People took out pancakes and rolled them with green onions to eat first. When the pancakes were almost eaten, the crabs should also It's cooked and ready to eat. At this time, the sun is already in the west, and it is estimated to be around two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Captain, it smells like it comes from the mountains."

"Hmm, it smells like the paste of grilled crab roe"

"Who is this? You are so brave. You don’t know that burning fires is strictly prohibited on the mountain, so why don’t you bring kindling?"

"This is setting the mountain on fire! Go up and have a look, if caught, he will be treated as an arsonist and dealt with according to law!"

"……"

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing and eating pancakes, people were suddenly talking faintly from the bottom of the mountain. They should be the members working at the bottom of the mountain. Apparently, the burnt aroma of the barbecue on the mountain had reached them.

"not good! They seem to be saying to us, we have been discovered! Hurry up and pick up the crabs and run away!"Everyone listened alertly for a moment, shouted one after another, and then hurriedly pulled away the unextinguished ashes regardless of the burning of their hands, picked out the burnt crabs and put them on the ground. They quickly fanned them with their coats to cool them down, and then put the still burning crabs on their hands. The crabs were repackaged into the coat, and before leaving, they did not forget to clean up the unburned firewood to prevent it from resurrecting and causing wildfires. It seems that the children in the mountains still have a certain awareness of fire prevention. At this moment, someone has already heard someone They came here, everyone picked up their coats wrapped in grilled crabs and ran away in confusion

"Come on, it should be right there, near the Fox Fairy Cave."The shouts were getting closer and closer.

Just two minutes after we left, a group of more than a dozen young and middle-aged club members ran to the Fox Fairy Cave. It was so dangerous! They moved so fast. They looked at the ground that was in a mess due to the barbecue, and looked around. The four fields began to curse, and they had the momentum to skin someone if they were caught.

We hid in the grass under the black pine forest and peeped, nervous and secretly delighted.

The dozen or so members who rushed to Fox Fairy Cave We carefully inspected the barbecue site and destroyed the ashes. After confirming that there was no fire safety hazard, we went back down the mountain. After they were gone, we walked out of the black pine forest and found an open area nearby to sit down. Then we opened our coats and took the I picked up the grilled crab roe inside and started to eat it greedily. In an instant, they all turned into stained faces. Their noses, mouths, and cheeks were covered with ashes. After eating, everyone drank some mountain spring water. After that, I washed my face, sat down for a while, and then went down the mountain. It was almost four o'clock. On the way down, I saw that the group of people who had just been working there were as many as sixty or seventy people, and they were in small groups. There are piles in the east and west sitting in the fields to rest, and animals of the same kind gather in groups. Young wives, young men, gentlemen, and girls are all doing their own business. Everyone is chatting and laughing, and it is very lively. Farmers are also working together. It was quite interesting.

Seeing them so happy made us feel much more at ease. We basically got rid of the"guilty conscience" (barbecuing crabs on the mountain) mentality, and walked down the mountain road without any hesitation, and quickly approached them. , they didn’t care about us at all, just like that.

I soon discovered that Ling Liping was among them. She must have used her summer vacation to help the family earn work points. She was always restless, even though her back was turned to me. Sitting, her dress is a little different, her hair is black and shiny, and she is dressed neatly and neatly, which is different from ordinary country girls. Especially her white and shiny skin is like a lamp, which is set off by her black hair. Eye-catching.

As soon as I see her, I get excited. I can’t say exactly why. Maybe it’s her beauty, her kindness, her vitality, her traits, her character, etc., etc. It becomes a powerful affinity that attracts you, sticks to you, and makes you consciously dissolve into her world and feel endless joy. On the contrary, she seems to treat me the same way, and we are destined to be together.

I walk along the single-plank bridge alone I cautiously approached Bai Liping on the generally narrow field ridge. I didn’t want to disturb her for the time being. I wanted to hear what she was talking about with the girls and what she was laughing about. She was just fifteen years old, but she was already quite mature. Like a girl, although she still has a baby face (I guess she will keep this baby face for a lifetime), her behavior, behavior and thinking are already quite adult. In short, Ling Liping is precocious in everything except her face.

"Hey, isn't this our big brother from all over the city?"No, I was recognized as soon as I came over. I couldn't hide even if I wanted to. I saw a familiar lady sitting opposite me but couldn't name me, pointing at me and shouting to everyone.

"Anyang (exclamation, same as ouch) come! Sifang, why are you here?!" Before I could respond, Ling Liping turned around and shouted to me in surprise, and then stood up to greet me. I greeted everyone warmly, and quickly jumped off the field to greet them. I didn't want my feet to slip and fall when I landed. He fell into the ditch below and fell on all fours. Fortunately, it was covered with grass. He was not injured and was not seriously injured. However, his buttocks were a little sore from the fall, his legs and feet were a little numb, and he couldn't stand up for a while. Strangely, In the past, I was beaten and beaten much more severely than this. Nothing happened. I didn’t expect that I would capsize in this small ditch today. It’s so embarrassing! Especially in front of Ling Liping.

"Ah, was it broken?"Ling Liping screamed and rushed over first. She hugged me without any scruples. Then she hugged me with one hand and checked whether my arms, legs or feet were injured. A dozen other girls immediately surrounded me, also very concerned.

"Hey, let me go, Sister Ping, I'm fine, I can stand up!"Seeing that Ling Liping was still hugging me, and then looking at the dozens of pairs of girls' eyes around me staring at me and Ling Liping, I pushed Ling Liping away and tried to stand up by myself, but as soon as I lifted my buttocks, before I could stand up straight, my legs and feet couldn't hold up. Fortunately, Linhai Liping hugged me from behind in time. My body's center of gravity almost completely leaned on her. My legs and feet were still numb, as if they were gone. But except for the lack of feeling in my legs and feet, everything else was normal. At this moment, I felt like my face was burning. Yes, my back felt hot and I was feeling flustered. Besides, it was a hot season and my clothes were thin. You can imagine the feeling and embarrassment of being held. If I had known better, I wouldn’t have forced myself to stand up.

"whee……"At this time, a girl started to snicker. It was obvious why she was laughing. Bai Liping seemed to realize that she was being too close, so she called the two sisters beside her to help me. She then helped me with them and slowly walked to a large exposed rock next to me and sat down. The girls immediately surrounded the three of us, still showing concern for me.

I quickly alerted everyone, and the people working in the fields, including my friends, all gathered around me. They all asked questions about me and were very concerned about me. The fellow villagers in the mountains are so warm. Do you want to kiss me? Dear, I’m from my hometown!
