Chapter 026 Living in the Countryside
"Edelweiss" is a species of vineyard that grows on rocks and lives with shrubs. It is very magical when encountering water and drought.
Luo Chengxiang is very experienced and knows where to cut the cut. He doesn't have much force to pick it intact. He didn't take much time to see that he had already picked five or six bundles.
Seeing that it was almost done, Luo Chengxiang tied the woven "Edelweiss" to the safety rope and shouted loudly at Xia Xiaoshu: "Pull it up!"
Xia Xiaoshu was watching the mountain scenery there. When he heard the shouts, he quickly pulled the "Edelweiss" up with his hands.
The newly picked "Edelweiss" are half-warm and half-dry, with slightly purple stems and leaves withered, and fall to the ground with a slight touch.
After a while, Luo Chengxiang felt that it was almost done. He carried a few bundles of platters on his back and climbed up from the hillside. Xiao Xia felt that the rope seemed a little hard, so he tried to pull it, which was quite heavy.
"Uncle Luo, are you going to come up?"
"Yes, you can slowly pull up and make your strength even."
"I know!" After agreeing, Xiao Xia pulled the rope slowly up.
After a while, Luo Chengxiang emerged.
Xiao Xia helped Uncle Luo untied the rope on his body, and tied the main rope around his waist like he did.
"When going down, be as natural as possible. When you step off the rock, don't use too much force. It feels like you're walking upside down on the flat ground."
"Okay!"
"There are drill piles made by our predecessors on the rock wall, and there are iron rings hanging on them. When you get to the right position, you can buckle the rope and buckle it on the drill pile, which will be safer." As he said that, Luo Chengxiang demonstrated how to operate it to Xiaoxia.
Xia Xiaoshu took the hatchet handed over by Luo Chengxiang, tied it behind his waist, and walked slowly downwards with his back to the cliff.
After about ten minutes, Xiaoxia felt that she had passed the bush where Uncle Luo was stepping on. She glanced at a drill pile and imitated Uncle Luo to make a rope and buckle it firmly on it.
The drill piles were made of forged by folk blacksmiths with cooked iron. They looked very strong. The outside had been polished with ropes and had obviously experienced many years of wind, frost, rain and snow.
After carefully observing for a while, Xiao Xia basically understood the growth characteristics of "Edelweiss", she swung her knife to pick it. Because her hands were raw, the hatchet was heavy again. After several times, she almost dropped the hatchet under the cliff.
Xiao Xia wore canvas gloves on her hand. She plated the cut "Edelweiss" like Uncle Luo, and hung it around the drill pile with her hands.
Xiaoxia is young and has a very flexible skill. After more than half an hour, she has already picked a lot of "edelixir" around her.
Carefully tie the "Edelweiss" to the second rope and asked Luo Chengxiang to pull it up.
After a moment of courage, Xia Xiaoshu was surprised to find that the mountain was so vast and the perspective on the medicinal material warehouse was too unique, so he could not see the whole picture of the mountain.
"Hey! There seems to be words over there." Xia Xiaoshu found that there seemed to be several large characters carved on the huge rock wall not far away.
Sure enough, three big words slowly came into view: Xiuqian Mountain.
Perhaps this mountain is too famous, so it is not sprayed with red paint on the font like elsewhere.
Xiao Xia had excellent eyesight. After looking carefully for a long time, she confirmed that the three big characters were the words "Taige style".
"It seems that Yugu Village has had a great figure in history. Judging from the writing rules of the font, the writer should at least be a Jinshi. In this way, this place should be a place with 'outstanding people'. Perhaps the local villagers have not yet found a way to get rich, otherwise, this place should be a very rich village." Xia Xiao thought to himself several times.
Considering that Xia Xiao had lived in the city for a long time, Luo Chengxiang was worried that the young man would have stayed halfway up the mountain for a long time before something happened, so he shouted loudly and asked Xiao Xia to come up first, Luo Chengxiang wanted to replace him.
"No, I feel it's okay, I'll pick it and go up." Xia Xiaoshu planned to make the "grass wall" in his residence thicker, so he had to prepare a lot of "edelixir" more.
Luo Chengxiang seemed very relaxed when he heard the young man's voice, so he felt relieved.
After more than a dozen rounds of transfers, Luo Chengxiang felt that it was almost done and urged Xiaoxia to come up quickly.
Luo Chengxiang slowly pulled upwards on it, and Xia Xiaoshou climbed up the bushes at the foot of the mountain. In a short while, he climbed up to the top of the rock.
"Uncle Luo, the mountain scenery here is so beautiful! Why don't anyone come to visit here?"
"In the spring and summer, people occasionally came to visit. Most of them came to Lishi City. The main thing was to pat the birds and make some barbecue food. Later, we were worried about causing wildfires, so we didn't let them play barbecue, picnic, etc., and then no one came."
"So that's how it is! No wonder I look lonely."
"Each has its pros and cons. It's getting late, so it's time to get back to clean up."
"Okay!"
The two of them cleaned up and used two sturdy bamboo poles to lift the "Edelweiss" down the mountain road.
When they were almost at a small wood, Luo Chengxiang called Xiao Xia to stop.
"I have grown some mushrooms here, so let's pick some and go back to cook. Don't cook tonight, go to my house to eat."
"Okay!"
The mushroom shed is hidden deep in the woods. If you don’t deliberately search for it, it is generally not easy to see.
After picking mushrooms, Luo Chengxiang locked the door of the shed and called Xia Xiaoshu back to the warehouse.
There was still some time before supper, so Xiao Xia asked Uncle Luo to go home for a rest first, and he wanted to make the "grass wall" he set up a little thicker.
"I'll help you."
"No, I'll do it alone."
"Then I'll go back and prepare dinner. Remember, don't bring wine! Your aunt doesn't like me to drink."
"knew."
It was fine, Xiaoxia re-hardened the inside and outside the walls twice, so that she could rest assured throughout the winter.
I felt a little thirsty when I went up the mountain. At this time, Xiao Xia remembered the tea brought by Uncle Luo, so she burned a pot of boiling water to make some tea with a stove in the office.
"The conditions in Yugu Village are actually quite good in all aspects. People should live a better life. After the time of work, I have to conduct a good study." Xia Xiao thought to himself several times.
It is not easy to find a job in Lishi City. In addition, Xiao Xia is interested in studying many issues, so it is unlikely to find a job with long working hours and low wages.
Therefore, the warehouse of the medicinal materials warehouse is actually a very good job.
After thinking about it over and over again, Xia Xiaoshu planned to live here for a while, and wait until he found out some of the relevant research matters before considering returning to Lishi City.
"If you study the natural weather in Yugu Village, you must have an Internet. The income from 'Qibaotang' is not very good, and you will definitely not pay this fee for me. I have to think of a solution myself. In addition, I have to assemble a computer that is almost the same, otherwise I will not be able to do anything." Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoshu began to think about making some money.
After not taking a few sips of tea, my phone rang. Uncle Luo asked him to go to his house for dinner.
Xiao Xia sealed the fire and called "Wangcai" to go all the way to Uncle Luo's house.
