"It's a bit late today. I could have taken you to meet some of my friends." A pile of firewood was lit in the hut, creating a hint of warmth.

"Is there anyone else in this mountain?" Yang Luan blinked curiously.

"Who said friends have to be human beings? There is a group of smart monkeys on the other side of the mountain. I will take you to get to know them next time." Gu Yi stirred the fire, and the charcoal fire flickered, reflecting in the

On their cheeks.

"Brother Gu Yi, how are we going to go back soon? It seems too late to go on, right?" It has already taken three or four hours of walking and stopping all the way up the mountain.

In winter, it gets dark early, and walking down the mountain is not as easy as walking up the mountain. If you continue walking as usual, you may not even be able to make it in time for dinner.

"Follow me." He put out the bonfire, stood up and took Yang Luan's hand with a smile, walked around the platform of the wooden house and walked towards the top of the mountain.

It's a slope.

The steep mountains and tall trees formed a ladder-like drop. A hemp rope as thick as two adult fingers ran across it, forming a natural ropeway.

A section of thirty to fifty meters of hemp rope twists and turns all the way down. Each section has a foothold, which is a perfect platform. The platform has traces of cleaning visible to the naked eye. It is old but looks very strong.

The cowhide ring is buckled on the rope.

"Let's get off from here!" Gu Yi put one hand on the cowhide and put another hand around Yang Luan's waist.

"Hold on!" He whispered in Yang Luan's ear with a smile, but kicked his feet fiercely on the edge of the cliff.

The figure soared into the air and slid down quickly.

The feeling of weightlessness beneath his feet seemed to make Yang Luan a little nervous, and his arms around Gu Yi tightened.

"Don't worry!" Feeling the tension in his arms, Gu Yi smiled and whispered into Yang Luan's ear, tightening his arms around his waist.

Feeling the warmth from Gu Yi's arm, the trace of uneasiness and tension in Yang Luan's heart quietly receded.

The trees passed by my ears quickly, making rustling sounds, and the cold mist on my forehead crossed my face, gradually moistening my hair. When I put down the fear in my heart, I unexpectedly discovered that this feeling is really wonderful.

There is a platform on one side and a rope on the other. Looking at the trees flying on both sides, the light and shadow are receding, and the mountain mist blows across the forehead, but they are like people in the martial arts world, walking gracefully in the wind.

It took three or four hours to go up the mountain, but less than an hour to go down. I rushed home just in time for dinner, and still had time to process the pheasants.

"The Chinese New Year is tomorrow!" After dinner, Gu Yi sent Yang Luan back to Yang Shan's courtyard.

“This year’s New Year in the village seems to be much more leisurely than in previous years!”

The small buildings in each house in the village are bright both inside and outside. The newly installed street lights in the village are also extremely bright, illuminating the brand new roads in the village.

In previous years, Gu Yi's village mainly relied on the textile business in family workshops as the main source of family income. They were often still working in the evening of 2829.

But this year, things are a little different.

Instead of the roaring sound of cloth machines in the machine room, there are more cheerful conversations and laughter in the front hall.

"The world is changing every day. Everyone is just trying to live a better life, what do you think?" Gu Yi looked at Yang Luan with a smile and asked.

After turning around the mountain bay, bypassing the pond, and walking into the depths of the small village, Yangshan's Purple Bamboo Garden is still quietly located at the foot of the mountain. The transformation of the village does not seem to have much to do with this simple courtyard.

A lush bamboo forest deeply hides this small courtyard, and a narrow bluestone road winds its way into the depths.

Deep in the bamboo forest, there was a dim light, and the door of the small courtyard was not closed. It seemed that they had been waiting for the two of them, and there were some shallow conversations in the house.

The little black dog in the house had already returned home. He seemed to smell a familiar smell, opened the door, ran out happily, and barked at the returning Gu Yi and Yang Luan.

"You're back." The door was gently opened, and Yang Shan appeared at the door, greeting him with a smile as usual.

"Teacher, long time no see!" Gu Yi bowed respectfully to Yang Shan. After being separated for a long time, time did not seem to take away much of Yang Shan's complexion.

"Come in and talk!" Yang Shan accepted Gu Yi's bow with a smile and waved towards Gu Yi.

Inside the house, Yang Luan's family seemed to be making reunion fruits together. Yang Luan's grandmother Huang Yueying and mother Ye Xin were wrapping the fruits skillfully in their hands while chatting in a low voice, seemingly in high spirits.

The TV was on, locked on the Central News Station. Although Yang Luan's father, Yang Han, was working with the two of them, his eyes couldn't help but glance towards the TV.

The reunion fruit pinched in the hand is also the most bizarre.

"Gu Yi is here! I haven't seen you for more than a year. What a change! Come here and talk to uncle!" Seeing Gu Yi walking in with Yang Shan, Yang Han happened to find a reason to get up.

, greeted Gu Yi with a smile.

"Uncle is still as glorious as ever!" Gu Yi replied with a smile.

In a few words, Yang Luan joined Huang Yueying and Ye Xin's camp of making reunion fruits, while Gu Yi and Yang Han followed Yang Shan into the study.

The fragrance of tea lingered in the study, each person had a cup of tea, and they were chatting about home affairs. However, it was Yang Shan who was testing Gu Yi's homework and knowledge in the past two years, and Yang Han was also asking about some things in the small village.

Gu Yi smiled and dealt with it calmly. The teacher's examination showed his concern for his disciples.

Gu Yi also told Yang Han about the changes in the village, the Taoyuan Village project plan and ideas, and maybe he could get another perspective and perspective from another party.

It originated from Yang Shan's research on astronomy and geography, poetry, calligraphy and painting, statecraft and history, studying things to gain knowledge, and understanding one's mind and nature.

Or answer Yang Han about the construction layout of the Taoyuan Village project, the future economic expansion ideas of various resources, profit methods, the interweaving model of construction and opening, the operating model, and the ten-year development plan.

Swim deep in thought, laugh and talk happily, and forget the passage of time.

"Let's go out for a late-night snack. We just made reunion fruits. We don't know how long we are talking about, and we don't know what we are talking about so enthusiastically!" The study door was pushed open, and it was Yang Luan's mother Ye Xin who called out.

A few people went out for a late-night snack, and the night got late before they knew it.

The family, in this quiet little village, does not have to be welcomed and sent off on stage, and there is no trembling at the political table, but they can enjoy the most simple tranquility and harmony. This kind of life may be the same for a family like Yang Luan.

A rare luxury

By the time Gu Yi finished his supper and walked out of the courtyard, it was almost late at night.

In the deep night sky, the wind blew away the clouds.

The sky suddenly revealed a crescent of moonlight
