"Su Luo, this is my first time going to your house. What gift should I buy?”
Jiang Yuxi walked in front, her red lips pursed as she pondered.
"You don't have to buy anything. My grandmother is the only one at home. As long as you go, my grandmother will definitely be very happy.”
Sullo said casually.
However, Jiang Yuxi did not agree.
In the end.
Under Jiang Yuxi's insistence.
He also bought a lot of small gifts.
Some health supplements for the elderly and a laptop.
Added together.
It cost her a total of 20,000 yuan.
"Why did you buy a laptop?”
Sullo was shocked.
Not only did his hometown have no internet, but it also had no electricity. Even his cell phone basically had no signal.
"It's none of your business. I'm giving this to Grandma.”
Jiang Yuxi said proudly.
Actually…
Her thoughts were very simple.
In the future, when Su Luo left her hometown with her, Su Luo's grandmother would definitely miss Su Luo very much.
Then, with a computer.
They could turn on the video call.
"Forget it, do whatever you want."
Sullo nodded.
In any case.
In less than two or three years, the mountains would also be electrified and connected to the internet. It would be the same whether they bought it early or late.
When the time came, he would have this laptop.
It was also convenient for him to search for information about raising pigs online and sell them on the Internet.
Crouching Dragon Mountain City wasn't big.
It was a standard city deep in the mountains.
It was long and narrow.
It was six to seven kilometers long, but its width was only 300 meters.
They left the train station.
Su Luo brought Jiang Yuxi to the bus stop.
It was said to be a bus stop.
In reality, it was just an empty space.
In front of them was a lonely sign that read 'Crouching Dragon Mountain City's bus station'.
Su Luo took Jiang Yuxi and boarded the bus to Black Bear Ridge Town.
The bus was very old.
It looked like it had been at least seven to eight years.
Once it was activated, not only did it shake violently, but it also creaked as if it would fall apart at any moment.
Looking at Jiang Yuxi, who was shaking very uncomfortably, Su Luo couldn't bear it either.
"It's been hard on you. Hang in there. We'll be there in five or six hours.”
Jiang Yuxi hugged Su Luo's shoulder tightly and stabilized her body. Then, she muttered softly,"It's not hard. As long as I'm with you, it's not hard at all!”
In the beginning.
Jiang Yuxi could still chat with Su Luo.
However, as time passed.
Jiang Yuxi could not take it anymore.
She had cried for a long time on the train.
Soon, she was exhausted and fell asleep in Sullo's arms.
After she was woken up by Sullo, she was stunned.
He opened his eyes.
What greeted his eyes was a dilapidated town.
It was very broken.
Basically, they were all one-story houses.
The streets were filled with potholes.
"You haven't seen it before, right? Let's go, we still have to take a bus!”
Su Luo held Jiang Yuxi's little hand.
Jiang Yuxi did not think too much about it.
In her opinion.
The place with Sullo was the safest place.
Very quickly.
Su Luo took Jiang Yuxi on the last journey home.
just
"Wow! Big horse pulling a carriage!"
Jiang Yuxi sat in the carriage and looked very excited.
"It's your first time taking this kind of car."
Sullo said with a smile.
"Yes, I've only seen it in books and on the Internet before, but I didn't expect it to really exist in reality!”
Jiang Yuxi said in surprise.
"What's wrong with that? When you come to my house, I guarantee that you'll look at it every day. Also, this isn't a horse, it's a mule!”
Sullo explained with a smile.
After leaving the town.
The road was filled with potholes.
This place.
There were no buses.
People in the deep mountains either relied on their legs or this kind of transportation.
After all, transportation couldn't just be carried by people, right?
A few hours later.
Finally.
Before nightfall.
Sullo arrived at his destination.
"See that? That's my hometown!”
Sullo pointed at a small open space on the mountainside.
"We're finally here. Alo, wait a moment. I'll put on makeup!”
The tiredness on Jiang Yuxi's face was swept away.
She quickly opened her bag.
After that.
She took out her makeup and touched it up.
"There's no need to put on makeup. No one here looks at this.”
Sullo was speechless.
"It's my first time meeting your grandmother. I have to leave a good impression.”
Jiang Yuxi said unhappily.
Very quickly.
The two of them slowly walked towards the house in the distance.
Su Luo could clearly tell that Jiang Yuxi was very nervous.
"Don't worry, don't be nervous. My grandmother is very easy to talk to. My neighbors are also very good.”
Su Luo comforted him gently.
,
"Hmm? Are you Brother Luo?"
Suddenly.
A rough and bold voice came from behind.
Jiang Yuxi was shocked.
He turned around.
"Oh my god!"
Jiang Yuxi was so scared that she hid behind Su Luo.
Only to see.
Behind her was a 1.9-meter-tall man with a square face.
Actually…
This was nothing.
Instead, there was a huge scar on the man's face.
From his left ear to his chin.
It was extremely terrifying.
Moreover…
The man was holding a machete in his hand.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the blade emitted a biting cold light.
"Qiang Zi?"
Sullo cried out in surprise.
"Brother Luo, it's really you. You're back!”
Qiang Zi gave Sullo a bear hug.
"Yes, I came back after graduation.”
In his memories.
This Qiang Zi was his childhood playmate.
It could be said that the two of them had played together since they were young.
However…
This Qiang Zi was like most of the poor families in the mountains.
He did not finish primary school.
He dropped out of school.
He had been helping his family farm. In his spare time, he would go to the mountains to step on some mushrooms or herbs and sell them in the town to subsidize his family.
The scar on his face was from when he met a black bear and was scratched by it when he was picking herbs on the mountain.
