Sun Qiang's wooden boat took us around the caves in the mountain, and finally stopped next to a cave that was completely blocked by trees.
"You guys wait for me for a while. I'll go out first to see if there are any villagers nearby."
We worked together to drag the wooden boat out of the river. I really admired the cow. It didn't wake up yet and started snoring while leaning on the eaves of the wooden boat.
Sun Qiang walked along the small broken road to the entrance of the cave. If there is someone outside, we must not go out.
If someone discovers this hole, someone entering by mistake may be in danger.
Fortunately, Sun Qiang checked around and found no one around. It took Chujiu and I a long time to drag the cow out of the cave.
"Holy shit!"
Looking at the water pool not far away, Chujiu exclaimed, "Isn't this the pool where we picked up bamboo poles when we came here?"
The exit of this cave is not far from the water pool.
"Walked for hours in vain."
Chu Jiu rolled his eyes and went through a whole mountain of mistakes.
"Brother Chujiu, if I ask you to go back from here now, can you find the ancestral home?"
Chujiu stared at Sun Qiang for a long time, seemingly unable to find him.
"I won't say anything more. I must pay attention to safety and endure it if you can."
Sun Qiang smiled and made sure to give Chujiu a map of the waterway topography next time we met. He repeatedly emphasized that we should delay as much as possible when we arrived at the ancient Miao village and wait for the support of the large army.
I took the dry food that Sun Qiang brought us, and immediately asked Chujiu to help carry the cow for a distance. My legs have not yet regained their strength.
"Ah? You want me to carry Teacher Ding on your back?"
Chujiu looked reluctant. As the old saying goes, a brother-in-law should keep an appropriate distance from his sister-in-law.
"You're a Taoist boy, okay? Where are all this nonsense? Hurry up."
On the ninth day of the month, I slapped her on the forehead and screamed that my hair was messed up. Then I picked up the cow and muttered in a low voice, "If a boy doesn't marry his wife, it's not like he doesn't know how tired he is."
"Guo Guo, I really can't carry it anymore."
Half an hour later, Chujiu leaned forward. Carrying a living person was more tiring than carrying more than 100 kilograms of stuff up the mountain. He did not dare to move for fear that Teacher Ding would fall.
Could it be that you think I was just pretending that I couldn’t straighten my back after walking two miles?
I took the cow from Chujiu's back, and my legs suddenly began to swell and hurt again.
"Finally I see hope."
Looking at the van parked at the entrance of the village from a distance, I raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead. It was indeed more tiring than carrying more than 100 kilograms of supplies up the mountain.
"Guo Guo, let me say hello."
Chujiu took out half a pack of cigarettes from the storage compartment of the passenger seat and put it in his pocket. He had to buy two more packs of cigarettes on the way back. This thing was so useful, it directly shortened the distance between men.
Ten minutes later, Chujiu got into the car with a bunch of purple-colored sausages in her hands.
"Isn't that true? Two cigarettes and you cheated someone out of a bunch of sausages?"
Chujiu laughed. The villagers here were so enthusiastic. They went over to say hello and left, but the people in the province thought they had lost our car.
As a result, we happened to catch up with someone to have breakfast. Chujiu said something casually and could smell the spicy smell of sausages from afar.
The host enthusiastically took out the bowls and chopsticks and asked Chujiu to taste his home-made sausages. Chujiu was not polite at all. He picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He bluntly said that the sausages from Hunan are more delicious than those from Sichuan.
This flattery made the owner extremely happy. His sister married in Sichuan. Every time she came back, she said that the sausages in Sichuan are delicious. Obviously the sausages in Hunan are more delicious than those in Sichuan and Guizhou.
Chujiu left the remaining half pack of cigarettes to the host’s family, and the host insisted on giving Chujiu two bunches of sausages to take back to Sichuan so that his family could taste the authentic Hunan flavor.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I thought for a while, dropped five yuan to someone, and took a bunch back.
The host refused to ask for money, so on the ninth day of the lunar month, he lied to the host that he was from the village on the mountain, and if he didn't accept the money, he wouldn't treat him as a friend.
I heard that Chujiu was from the village on the mountain. Since they were all members of his own family, the host family was no longer polite.
"A pound of pork costs three yuan, plus condiments and kung fu. In fact, I took advantage of it."
I rolled my eyes at Chujiu. He was really a foodie. He had obviously eaten two big bowls of rice noodles before going out.
"On the ninth day of the lunar month, are Hunan sausages really better than Sichuan sausages?"
After the car started, I asked Chujiu casually. Chujiu shook his head. Sichuan sausages are spicy, while Hunan sausages are full of spiciness. Both are equally delicious.
"Sausages? Where are the sausages? I'm starving to death."
Chujiu and I looked at each other, and the corners of our mouths twitched at the same time. The time when the cow woke up was so speechless.
"Teacher Ding, I suspect that you were pretending to be asleep just to let Guo Guo carry you for a while longer."
The cow shook her head, stared at the car window for a long time, and then screamed, why was she here?
"Why are you so embarrassed? You sleep like a stupid pig and you can't wake up no matter how you scream."
Chujiu grinned, Guo Guo just carried Teacher Ding over the entire mountain.
"ah?"
Dai Niu was stunned for a long time. This was not a dream. He was indeed staying at Sun Qiang's house before going to bed.
"I didn't expect that the wine was as sweet as fruit juice, and it had so much power that I can't remember anything."
The cow stared at me with tears in her eyes. She must be very tired after walking so many miles on her back.
I glared at Chujiu, which made me unable to do anything else. Although I was really tired, I didn’t climb the entire mountain.
"Let's eat something first."
Fortunately, the cow's stomach growled, so I changed the subject and handed the rice flour cake Sun Qiang brought us to the cow.
"There is boiling water in the kettle, be careful when scalding it."
Chujiu pointed to the kettle in the back seat, asked the cow if he wanted to eat Hunan sausage, and then took out a plastic food bag from his pocket with a shameless expression.
The food bag contained sliced cooked sausages. This guy must have wiped out all the sausages that were steamed for breakfast. No wonder he felt that he was taking advantage of them.
"Why didn't you take it out for me to try just now?"
Chujiu grinned. Of course we have to share the good things together. We are waiting for Teacher Ding to wake up.
"It's really delicious. Qin Feng, please try it."
The cow opened the food bag and randomly picked up a piece of sausage and stuffed it into her mouth. Her eyes instantly narrowed into crescent moons. It was so delicious.
"The living goddess turned into a village girl."
Chujiu grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and quickly grabbed two pieces of sausage with the other hand and stuffed them into his mouth. They were indeed delicious.
"I do!"
Cow said casually, a village girl is a village girl, and if she can stay like this, she will be willing to be a village girl.
Chu Jiu grinned. Teacher Ding probably said one less thing, "Let's be together with Guo Guo."
"snort."
The cow's face instantly turned red, she lowered her head and took a bite of the rice pancake, muttering something in her mouth that none of us could hear clearly.
"Hiss~ It's really spicy."
I picked up a piece of sausage and stuffed it into my mouth. There was no other taste except the spiciness.
