Gaojia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a lake on one side.

The lake is Jianma Lake, and more than two hundred households in the village are scattered along the Jianma Lake.

The water area of ​​​​Jianma Lake is not very large, less than 5,000 acres. It is like a huge mercury mirror embedded in the mountains, reflecting the entire blue sky and white clouds, as well as the surrounding green mountains.

At first glance, the tree seems to be a fairyland on earth, and it looks extremely moving.

Especially in the middle of the lake, there is a middle-of-the-lake island. This is a deserted island, and no villagers live on it. The mist on the water around the island adds a bit of mystery to the island, making it easy to see.

I have an urge to go up and find out.

Luo Hui had this impulse. He took out his telescope and looked at the vague island, and began to think about one day calling two villagers, rowing a bamboo raft or sampan, and going around on it. It would be a fun adventure.

Already.

The water in Jianma Lake is very clear and quite cool. When you drink it, it tastes cool and slightly sweet, just like the water in the river that runs through the forest.

Luo Hui found it unbelievable that the lake water was so delicious? If only the water in that river were easier to understand. After all, the river was surging and the water was very lively. But although Jianma Lake is not small, it has no liquidity after all.

A backwater lake.

Gao Ge smiled and told Luo Hui, in fact, the river is called Jianma River. Why is it called Jianma River? Because the birthplace of the river is in Jianma Lake, so the water in the river tastes the same as the water in the lake.

.

Now Luo Hui was even more confused. This lake only has 5,000 acres of water, so it could be the birthplace of a river? With such a small amount of water, wouldn't it be drained away in a few days?

Old Man Gao laughed very hard this time, shook his head and said, "No matter how the Jianma River flows out, the water in Jianma Lake will never dry up, because the water source of Jianma Lake comes from the Yin River. In other words,

The water in Jianma Lake is all groundwater. The domestic water and drinking water in Gaojia Village are all taken from Jianma Lake."

After listening to what Old Man Gao said, Luo Hui found it even more incredible that the water in such a large lake actually came from underground. The world is so big, it is indeed full of wonders.

Curious baby Luo Hui squatted by the lake for a long time, then returned to the car and drove to Gao Ge's house under Gao Ge's guidance.

Most of the villagers in Gaojia Village have the surname Gao. Because of its remoteness, the village is not wealthy. Most of the houses in the village are adobe houses, with only a few red brick houses with white magnetic plaques on them.

There is only one pitiful house.

This white porcelain house stood out from the crowd, so it stood out. Luo Hui couldn't help but become interested in the owner of this house.

"This is the patriarch of our Gao family. Oh, now he is not called the patriarch, but the village party secretary. This house belongs to his family." Gao Ge replied.

"Your clan leader? Village party secretary? His family only has one decent house in the whole village?" Luo Hui's eyes showed doubts and disdain. Don't think that the village party secretary is not a cadre. Luo Hui knows the virtues of those who are officials too well.

As soon as Gao Ge saw Luo Hui's eyes, he understood what he was thinking. He shook his head and said, "Xiao Hui, our village party secretary is not what you think. The reason why he can decorate the house so beautifully is entirely thanks to him."

The blessing of a daughter... His Xiaona works as a manager in a large company in Shenzhen, and I heard that her monthly salary is tens of thousands of yuan."

When Old Man Gao said this, he couldn't hide his envy.

Luo Hui smiled when he heard this. His thoughts were based on the past.

Changfeng Cheetah shuttled through the village, causing the villagers to look eagerly and guess who the rich relative of such and such family was, and their words were full of envy.

The local dogs in the village have probably never seen much of the world. They barked wildly, and each one looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. Usually they were in groups of three or five, each with their own small circle of interests. Now that there is a foreign enemy,

Of course, the muzzle of the gun is always facing the outside world.

As a result, dozens of dogs quickly gathered on the east side of the village where the entrance of the village is, chasing the broken jeep with all their lives. Luo Hui has been a bit afraid of dogs since he was a child, and looked at the dog through the left and right mirrors.

The group was running wildly, their fangs turned outwards in a ferocious look, and I couldn't help but shudder. Damn it, there are so many dogs in the village, and they are so fierce, how will I live my life in the future?

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Hui. These dogs regard your car as an enemy. As long as you get out of the car, they will disperse." Gao Ge seemed to know that Luo Hui was afraid of dogs and patted him on the shoulder.

Luo Hui sneered, "I thought they didn't welcome me as an uninvited guest."

Gao Ge said quickly, "Where, Xiaohui, you are a distinguished guest, how could you not welcome you..."

"..." Although Old Man Gao is honest and simple, he is not at all like the old rural men depicted in many novels or on TV, who are dull and unsmiling. On the contrary, this old man can talk well, is very smooth, and speaks eloquently, which makes Luo Hui's mind

The inherent image of rural people in China has been greatly changed.

After chatting all the way, Gao Ge's house arrived. Sure enough, as soon as the car stopped and the two got off, the dogs dispersed without interest. The few remaining dogs barked at Luo Hui when they saw him, and Old Man Gao picked them up from the ground.

A stone was thrown at them, and the dogs disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Luo Hui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Although the vicious dog was ferocious, it was still afraid of people.

Old Man Gao's home is an adobe house, the kind from Mao Zedong's era, with black tiles and earthen walls, stone pillars and wooden beams. There are mottled traces of time erosion everywhere. There are wooden basins, windmills, and bamboo hats in the corridor outside the house.

There are coir raincoats, various hoes, dustpans, etc. All in all, this is an old house with a strong farmhouse style.

"Uncle Gao, which house is Uncle Gaoshou's house in?" Gao Ge asked Gao Ge full of longing after looking at the old house.

"Hey, that's the building over there." Gao Ge went to the east side of his house and cooed.

"I'll go take a look first." Luo Hui said when he saw that the house was basically similar to Gao Ge's house.

"I'll take you there."

"No, I have the key."

"Well, you go over and take a look first. I clean up Xiaoshou's house every half month. If you are sleepy, just go to bed and lie down. I will come and call you after dinner."

"Well, that's my problem, old man."

"Xiaohui, don't be polite here, just treat yourself as your own."

"Sure, I'll listen to you, old man."

Luo Hui walked over impatiently and walked around the old house of Gao Shou's family first.

In front of the house is a large cement terrace, which is usually used to dry things. Two strong and tall locust trees grow on the side of the cement terrace. The branches of the two large locust trees are surrounded by each other, and the dense branches and leaves provide a large area of ​​shade.

, this tree is a good place to enjoy the cool air.

There are several peach and plum trees on the left and right sides of the old house. The fruits on the trees are still very green and will not mature until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is a large bamboo forest behind the old house, and the bamboos in the bamboo forest are very lush.

Back in front of the house, Luo Hui took out the key and opened the thick and heavy wooden door. He pushed it open and entered the main room. The main room was very spacious and bright. In the middle was an Eight Immortals table with several chairs and stools surrounding the table. On the table and stools

There is very little dust. It seems that Gao Ge’s words about coming here to clean up once every half month are true.

There are two rooms on the left and right sides of the main hall. Except for one room for storage, the other three rooms are bedrooms.

Luo Hui didn't plan to live in those three bedrooms, so he cleared out the room where groceries were stored. This was agreed with the boss in the city.

Luo Hui took off his clothes and went bare-chested. When he was about to move things into the main room, suddenly the green round pendant he wore on his chest began to shake without warning, as if he was being hit by something as described in those fantasy novels on the Internet.

As if something is calling, its surface is actually faintly glowing with a hazy green light.

Luo Hui was stunned. He picked up this green pendant when he went on an outing more than two years ago. At that time, he didn't think it was a good thing. He just thought it looked good and felt very comfortable to the touch, so he used it.

Tie up a red rope and hang it around your neck.
