"Get up." Xiao Ran rubbed his sore eyes.
It was finally dawn, and I sat up, but felt weak all over.
"Let's go, follow the old man for a walk today."
The two got up and came outside.
The old man got up early to do Tai Chi, looking at Xiao Ran looking tired and a little amused.
"Xiao Ran didn't sleep well last night?" the old man said with a faint smile.
"I really didn't sleep well."
With a wry smile, he simply washed up and was ready to go.
"Wait a minute." The old man sat in the yard.
"What's wrong?"
"Wait for someone."
The old man said with a smile while pretending to be ignorant.
Somewhat confused, after a while, a figure appeared at the door of the yard.
"Li Hua?"
Mr. Chu stood up: "It's Li Hua. As a native of this village, there is no one more suitable than him to take us out for a walk!"
It was true at first thought, but Xiao Ran was a little puzzled: "Doesn't Uncle Li still need someone to take care of him?"
"I've arranged for the doctor, don't worry."
Unexpectedly, the old man moved so quickly, and Xiao Ran didn't have to worry about it now.
"If you want to go see the scenery, why don't you take a carriage?" Li Hua looked at the old man, but he was actually worried that the old man wouldn't be able to bear it.
"good."
The old man is actually only about fifty years old and has a strong body, so there is nothing wrong with him.
"Let's go!"
Li Hua led a few people out of the village and headed to the south. The south was mainly planted with mulberry leaves, after all, they had to feed silkworms.
Seeing the mulberry trees all over the mountain, Chu Yanhong felt that her perspective had broadened a lot.
"It's green and looks really comfortable!"
"There are hundreds of acres here, and we rely on these mulberry leaves to raise silkworms!" Li Hua said with a smile.
"However, the place the old man told me last night requires passing through the mulberry forest here and taking a boat to the mountain opposite." Li Hua pointed to the mountain opposite.
"so tall?"
Chu Yanhong frowned slightly, the last time she climbed the mountain was still vivid in her mind.
"Yes, let's go!" The old man looked excited.
Li Hua led the way and took a few people to the mulberry forest. It was very cool under the cover of the leaves.
Looking at the neatly built mulberry trees, it seems that the people in Taohua Village have put a lot of thought into it.
Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound, and Xiao Ran was the first to react.
"Wait a minute?" Xiao Ran stopped Li Hua at the front and spoke in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Li Hua was a little confused.
Xiao Ran looked ahead and said to the old man and Chu Yanhong: "Yanhong, you and dad are waiting here."
Then he turned back to Ah Cai and the others and said, "You three, follow me!"
A few people were a little confused, but nodded.
Xiao Ran clearly heard some movement just now, coming from the hillside not far away.
Main film Mulberry forest covers this large mountainside, Xiao Ran slowly approaches the hillside.
"Is there someone?" Li Hua then saw: "Maybe it's the villagers who are trimming the mulberry trees."
I just felt that Xiao Ran was making a fuss, but Xiao Ran made a silent gesture: "Take a closer look at what they are doing?"
The distance was still quite far, so a few people could only approach slowly.
"I know, they're setting fires!"
Ah Cai was the first to react!
Li Hua was shocked. If this mulberry forest caught fire, everyone would probably starve to death!
"Damn it!"
Li Hua felt anxious and rushed forward: "Stop!"
When the two people on the hillside heard the noise, they shivered in fright, turned around and ran away.
"Still running!"
Seeing Li Hua chasing after him, Xiao Ran and Ah Cai also chased after him.
The two men looked guilty at first sight, and there was wind at their feet, and they disappeared after a while.
Seeing the weeds with sparks sprouting under his feet, Li Hua stamped them out.
"Already ran away!"
"Who is this? He actually set fire to it. It's so wicked!" Laifu couldn't help but cursed angrily.
Knowing that the villagers here rely on silk to make a living, it is too much to burn the mulberry forest!
"There are usually people guarding the mulberry forest, but there are not many people. Maybe these two people got in." Li Hua frowned: "Fortunately, you found it in time, otherwise the villagers of Taohua Village would be doomed."
"Do you know these two people?" Xiao Ran was a little confused.
"Maybe they are people from other villages. The nearby villages have been jealous of Taohua Village's profits for many years, so they are probably jealous!"
Li Hua was not surprised, but he did not expect that these people would become more and more brazen.
"No, I have to notify the village and send a few more people to guard the mulberry forest." Li Hua sighed: "How about I take you with me next time?"
"No, it's just a notification. Just let Ah Cai and the others go."
"Master! Shall I go?" Laifu took the initiative and said, "I happened to have met the village chief last time."
"Okay, tell the village chief about the situation. The village chief will definitely know what to do." Li Hua nodded.
"Go ahead!" Xiao Ran said.
Several people went back and informed the old man of the situation just now, and were slightly stunned for a moment.
"It's normal. After all, we are raising silkworms, so there will inevitably be some competition." The old man said.
When Laifu went back to inform him of the news, Li Hua was still a little worried.
"Don't be afraid, they were just scared away and they probably won't be back for a while." Xiao Ran didn't panic.
Li Hua thought so and continued walking forward with a few people.
This walk lasted all morning, and this mulberry forest was larger than they imagined.
They didn't stop until they reached a river.
"There is a bridge over there, go over there!" Li Hua pointed to a suspension bridge not far away.
It's just shaky and looks a little unsafe.
"Is there no other way?"
Xiao Ran was a little worried. Chu Yanhong's tonnage...
"No, there used to be boatmen. There were fewer and fewer people taking their time, so they disappeared."
They had been gone all morning, and they definitely didn't want to go back just like that.
When Xiao Ran came to the bridge, he felt more stable than expected.
But as soon as Chu Yanhong stepped onto the suspension bridge, he was a little scared.
The bridge swayed from side to side, and Xiao Ran, who was already a little afraid of heights, began to tremble.
"If you are really scared, just hug me." Chu Yanhong stepped forward.
She wasn't afraid, after all, the bridge looked old, and if something happened easily, it wouldn't be here today.
"Okay!" Xiao Ran hugged Chu Yanhong's arm, which was indeed much more stable.
The old man also successfully crossed the suspension bridge with the help of Ah Cai.
"Fortunately, I didn't ask Ah Cai to notify him just now." Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
The suspension bridge connects to the mountainside, which can save a lot of trouble for just a few people.
Climb up for another half an hour and you will reach the top of the mountain.
Looking back, he saw mulberry trees one after another. Xiao Ran was a little lucky that he had just discovered the two people in time.
"If it catches fire, this entire blockbuster will be implicated." Li Hua also looked back.
"These are all treasures!" Mr. Chu smiled: "But the real treasure is at the top of the mountain."
Li Hua knew what the old man was talking about and smiled. He hadn't seen it for many years.
Chu Yanhong instantly became more curious about what kind of scenery the old man had been thinking about.
Xiao Ran dragged Chu Yanhong to the top of the mountain.
At just one glance, Chu Yanhong was stunned: "So beautiful!"
The mountains are full of pink, and the peach blossom forests one after another are so beautiful.
