Chapter 55: Entering the Mountain

Today, the old captain came to pick up Liu Yujin and the others, because of selling wild animals, which opened the door that was closed for them. They saw a way out in the fear of suddenly losing the planned economic assistance, and saw a more promising prospect than before.

Xie Quanzhong smiled even more proudly, "That's it! That's it! If it weren't for what Zhihong said, I wouldn't believe it! I didn't expect that my nephew and grandson would be so capable now."

The old captain was a little embarrassed that his cousin was about to rise to the sky, but he had to hold back his breath. Who told him to have a brave nephew who could help them sell mountain goods in the county town? Seeing Xie Chengshu and the others approaching him, he quickly smiled and walked forward a few steps forward to shake hands with Liu Yujin: "You are the eldest nephew of Yujin! I heard that you have been sending rice from afar, and we have already come down the mountain road to meet you."

Liu Yujin smiled politely and said, "Uncle Uncle! You and my uncle are waiting at the foot of the mountain. Why run so far?! You are all old and you are here. Are you tired from traveling dozens of miles?"

"No, no, no, no, no, wait and worry! You're not tired! Look at it, you don't feel tired at all."

The old captain Yi looked at Liu Yujin happily, who had a mature and aura, and secretly sighed in his heart: The old saying that Qian Zhuang's heroic courage is really right. Look at Yu Jin's current strong and clear style, how can he remember the down-and-out, shabby, and shrinking appearance when he brought his wife and brothers here to make a living here!?

After entering the town, the old captain made the decision and did not rest in the town. He took them to a village at the foot of the mountain, a captain's house who got along well with him. There were many wolves in the deep mountains and could not light the fires, so they would not go up and down the mountain late at night without any necessity. The villages at the foot of the mountain knew about the situation of the people in the mountain. Even if they were not familiar with each other, as long as they knew that they were indeed people on the mountain, they would generally be willing to receive them if they had to stay late.

The captain and the old captain Xie often meet on the meetings, receive food, make notes, etc. They will meet them during all kinds of business, and sometimes they will get up from the town with their companions. When it is too late, they will stay with their captain Xie to stay. The old captain Xie is also willing to keep his favor, such as tea, rabbits, pheasants, and charcoal in the mountains, and other rare things that people in the mountains are rare, and they will bring them to his house every time, and they are never empty-handed. Over time, the two captains are like relatives.

This time, Captain Xie brought the team members to stay for the first time. The captain did not neglect at all and welcomed them warmly. Without any extra beds, he laid thick straw and made a long floor to let them sleep steadily.

The next day, Captain Xie put the old cow and the cart at the captain's house here. No matter what, Liu Yujin asked him to go up the mountain, but Liu Yujin couldn't refuse. He couldn't resist it, so he had to climb the place with a bitter grudge, which made him feel distorted and swaying, and the stone mountain road was full of dangers.

The mountain is full of stones from the three miles up the foot of the mountain. The clay only has a very thin layer on the surface. Such a mountain road does not have the yellow sticky mud that cannot be shaken off when it is stained. It moves neatly when it is raining and snowing. But it is also because it is full of stones. When it is raining and snowing, it is very dangerous to have no heads and slippery steps.

What's even more regretful is that in the early days of liberation, an engineering team came to build the road. As a result, these stones were too difficult to dig, and the manpower and material resources were too large. In addition, this was not an important must-pass place, so the plan to open up the mountain path was stranded. The old captain was still young at that time and had been surprised by everyone. Now decades have passed, and he also knew that the road construction was no longer possible. However, he still couldn't help but feel regretful. Seeing Yu Jin's nephew staggering carefully in front of him, he remembered the road construction at that time: "Hey! At the time of liberation, if you took advantage of the momentum to build this road, your ox cart would be able to climb the mountain, and you wouldn't have to climb the mountain so you would have to climb it so much!"

When Jiefang first talked about road construction, Liu Yujin had already heard everyone say it when he was making a living in the mountains last time. Therefore, he could understand what the old captain said. However, it was useless to understand. This road was not completed after all, right?! He silently vomited trash, and did not forget to hold some of the branches that could bear weight next to the road. He looked up from time to time, looking at the sacks carrying more than 100 kilograms of numb sacks in front of him, and could still steadily as the trees who climbed the mountain.

Before he reached the steepest Shopping Peak, Xie Zhihong and Xie Shounan took the older people down the mountain to pick them up. When Xie Shounan saw them, he shouted to Xie Quanzhong who was walking in the front from a distance: "Grandmaster! Why are you so fast? I thought I could only go to the foot of the mountain to follow you?"

Xie Quanzhong looked up at his grandson in anger. He couldn't shout out at such a long distance, old man! He didn't have that sufficient breath either.

When Xie Zhishan saw his father panting and resting, he couldn't help complaining: "Dad! I said that you are too old and those who go up and down the mountain can't stand it. You just don't listen to me and insist on getting up with the old captain. Look at you so tired now!"

"Okay! Help replace them quickly and don't talk too much with me!" Xie Quanzhong really felt that he was old. He had only climbed the mountain road for less than half, so he was so tired that he was too lazy to say something.

When they entered the Xie family village, all men and women ran out, as if they were watching a big show, which made Liu Yujin laugh and cry. Fortunately, although they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, they could still meet each other. When they met, they could still say a few words about family matters.

Liu Yujin was surrounded by Xie's family, especially the children who had been to his house and came back first. He pulled his clothes or trousers and showed off to the friends in Zhuangzi: "This is my dear cousin! Take us to a big big car, and the city is fun!"

The children pulled their pants down and kept lifting them down. Liu Yujin secretly felt glad that he wanted to look good. He asked the little brother in the army to tie his armed belt around his waist. Otherwise, the pants would have to be pulled off today. The uncle of the Xie family finally saw that his nephew and grandson were difficult to walk by several children, so he quickly shouted and scolded the children: "Go and go! Let's play, don't stop the mixing here."

The children scattered, and the adults were able to enter the house and talk.
