Waves of unnamed flying insects could be seen at intervals along the way. When Feng Yi walked past, several flying insects rested directly on the visor of his helmet.

Something flew down on his shoulder, and flew away again after a while. Feng Yi only caught a glimpse of a black figure.

It's not even summer yet, but these flying insects are already active.

Continuing to walk up the mountain, I saw a checkpoint with someone guarding it. After registering, I let Feng Yi go up the mountain and told Feng Yi the location of the Feng family's ancestral home.

"There is only one old house on this mountain. It seems to belong to the Feng family. I am not sure about the details. There is only one person living there. If you are talking about that old house, keep walking up this road. You should be able to see it.

You can ask people when you meet them, they all know."

After Feng Yi thanked him, he continued walking up the mountain.

Fortunately, I didn't go far when I heard the sound of a car approaching and got a ride.

The two people driving the car worked at a feed factory at the foot of the mountain, and they also had work assignments going up the mountain.

"The ancestral home of the Feng family? Are you going to see Uncle Mute?" someone asked.

"Uncle Mute? That's right. The elders in the family just told me that someone is taking care of the house there. I have something to do when I go to the old house." Feng Yi said.

The other party looked at Feng Yi's equipment and said, "Looking at you, I know it's your first time here."

"You live in the mountains? Are you okay?" Feng Yi asked.

The two laughed.

One person explained: "Who would be willing to live on a mountain these days, even if there is no WiFi, no one will deliver you a takeaway at night, let alone a place where you can sit in a pit and be surrounded by eight snakes. Would you rather do it for you?"

"Isn't there an isolation zone?" Feng Yi asked.

"The isolation net is right next to it. When you are squatting in the pit, if you look out the window, you will see seven or eight snakes on the isolation net not far away, staring at you. Except for shifts or temporary assignments, we all live in the company at the foot of the mountain.

Dormitory. Those who can live safely in the mountains are not ordinary people."

"Like Uncle Dumb?"

"Yes, Uncle Dumb is really not an ordinary person. He lives happily here."

"What's Uncle Dumb's last name? How do you call him?" Feng Yi asked.

"Name? Just Uncle Mute. I don't know what his last name is. Anyway, everyone calls him Uncle Mute. He can't speak."

The mountain looks desolate, but the road is well built and the car is not bumpy when driving on it, and you can't even see any larger stones.

"There are vehicles cleaning the road every day." One person explained, "Uncle Dumb also often asks people to help him carry things. There are not many vehicles going up and down the mountain, but they are not uncommon. We will send you up the mountain first and come back later."

The car drove up the mountain for a while. After passing the mountainside, the isolation belt gradually moved away from the driveway. Traces of artificial activities could be seen in the woods on the roadside. The trees planted were obviously planned. Some were fruit trees and had already bear fruit, and some were wind-blown.

Yi had never seen it.

Just as he was thinking about it, Feng Yi suddenly heard the person next to him shout: "Hey, I saw someone else, Uncle Mute! Uncle Mute!"

The car stopped on the side of the road.

Feng Yi looked in the direction they pointed.

A man who looked to be about seventy years old and dressed as an old mountain farmer came out of the woods.

Probably because he spends a lot of time outdoors, his face is dark and there are deep wrinkles on his face. He wears civilian clothes, rubber shoes, big bamboo baskets, trouser legs with semi-dried mud marks, a straw hat slightly tilted on his head, and a few strands of slightly long gray hair.

The brim of the hat sticks out and swings with the steps.

The bamboo basket carried by the old man contained freshly picked fruits and vegetables. Most of the varieties were unrecognizable to Fengyi. They were all specialties from the mountains.

The young man in the driver's seat opened the car window and waved to the old man, "Uncle Mute, you have a guest at home, I will bring it to you!"

Uncle Dumb looked towards the car.

Feng Yi met his gaze and didn't see any gloom in his eyes.

Uncle Mute raised his hand to wipe his sweat and showed a bright smile to Feng Yi.

Then, Feng Yi saw the old man take out the latest smartphone from his pocket stained with mud and water -

It's the same series as Feng Yi's phone, but the old man's phone has more "plus" than Feng Yi's.
