    ?

    Turn around the foot of a mountain, only a few hundred meters away from the uncle's house.  However, when he raised his head, as far as he could see, there was green.  All kinds of plants are densely covered.  And the destination this time is behind the forest.

    No leeches!  No leeches!  No leeches!  As he walked, he recited these words silently.  Hope to be able to really avoid the leeches.  Fortunately, the leaves were not covered with leeches as the old cousin said, nor did they step on snakes.

    After the ups and downs of this road, the old uncle's hometown has finally arrived!  A house appeared in front of him.  The difference from our house is that the house is mainly made of wood, with pillars made of wood and walls made of planks.  very special.  After stepping into the wooden gate, there are three rows of houses in front of you, similar to a courtyard house.  The house is also made of wood, almost the same as the one seen from the outside.  The windows are also wood framed.

    In the middle of the frame, the inlaid glass looks blurry due to age or too much dust.  This is where my uncle lived since he was a child.

    ? I don¡¯t know why, but the bright sunshine didn¡¯t bring me warmth, and I always felt a little cold.  It may be due to the relatively low temperature on the mountain.  The eldest uncle¡¯s mother came out to receive us, and after a while of pleasantries, she took us into the back room. After a group of people sat down on stools, I, who was not good at chatting, stayed for a while, then got up and went out, ready to stroll around.

    "Ren Tao, let's go, I'll take you to play on the top of the mountain." The aunt also came out from the back room and said, followed by her mother and old cousin.

    "Is it easy to play on the mountain? Are there any snakes?" I still have a very high fear of snakes.

    "There are no snakes! Where are there so many snakes, let's go. The mountain is very fun and the scenery is good," said the aunt.  Then my mother walked up to me, patted the dust on the back of my shoulder, and led me out together.

    The scenery on the mountain is very good, showing a special beauty.  For me who has been living in the plains, every place is full of freshness.

    After coming out of the gate, turn around a wall, and a path appears in front of you.  The path traverses the middle of the slope.  On the slope, there are various fruit trees, alas, they are actually grapefruit trees.  Below the slope are several other households.  This confuses me.  Why build a house under a slope?

    When it rains, the rainwater will wash down the muddy water from the slope; when the sun comes out, the sunlight cannot fully shine on the house.  Wouldn't it be better to build on a slope?  It is not afraid of wind and sun, and it is also safer.  Later, I realized that it wasn't that I didn't want to, but that I couldn't.  When building a house on a mountain, should it be built obliquely?  In order to repair the house, a large piece of flat land must be opened on the mountain, and roads must be built. The manpower and material resources are not affordable for ordinary families.

    Besides, there are suitable areas under the mountain to build houses.  Moreover, it is convenient to go down the mountain, so why go to the mountain to repair it?  Everyone else wants to get out of the mountains, so who wants to cultivate so high on purpose?

    After passing the house, I continued to go up along the path. I deliberately walked in the middle, in case there were snakes or the like popping up suddenly in front or behind.  Climbing to the top of the mountain is not too difficult for me. I usually run around in the fields, so this little distance is definitely not a problem.

    After about half an hour, the four of us finally made it to the summit.  Unlike what I imagined, this mountain is not the kind of sharp and densely planted feeling.  There is a large flat land on the top of the mountain, which is covered with green grass. When you climb to the top and look into the distance, the scenery is unique and refreshing.

    "Old cousin, I see, I'll teach you." After the old cousin finished speaking, he walked to the top near the edge of the mountain, took a deep breath of air, slowly opened his arms, and shouted vigorously towards another mountain: "Ah~  ~~~~~~~¡±

    Just as the old cousin finished shouting, several echoes of "Ah~" came from the opposite mountain.  hey fun.  I am also going to give it a try.  First of all, calm down your mood, take a deep breath, put your hands to your mouth, expand outward, and shout: "Wow~~~"

    Sure enough, it didn't take long before my voice came from the opposite side.

    "Old cousin, come quickly, there are a lot of beans here!" The old cousin who had just run away waved to me on the flat ground diagonally opposite.  Vaguely saw a black thing between his fingertips.

    "What kind of beans are you?" I ran to the old watch, bowed my waist, and looked at the "beans" in his hand

    "These are black beans, which are only found on the mountain. They are hard to find. You see, they are everywhere here. Hurry up and pick them up for me. You can sell them for money when you take them back," the old cousin said, quickly removing the black beans on the ground one by one.  put it in the bag.  While pretending, he muttered: "Doudou, Doudou"

    I picked up a bean, put it in front of my eyes and observed it carefully, "Why does this bean feel so strange? It's not as smooth as the bean from my hometown. Look, there are lines on the skin, which is really strange."

    "You don't understand, this black bean isThis is the case, and the land on the top of the mountain is dry, so it has shrunk," said the old watch.

    I looked around, and there were black beans scattered in the grass, and there were indeed a lot of them.  "Can this really sell for money?" I asked again.

    "Well, someone came to my house to buy beans before, and my grandma sold the black beans at home, which are much more expensive than the soybeans at the foot of the mountain," said the old cousin.

    When I heard that it was much more expensive, I became enthusiastic instantly. There are countless black beans in this grass. If I picked up all the black beans on the top of the mountain, wouldn¡¯t I be rich!  Hey, I also squatted down quickly, using both hands, put the black beans one by one into the clothes bag.  It didn't take long for the clothes bag to be filled, and then the pants bag was loaded.

    After all four bags were filled, I asked, "Old Cousin, are these black beans delicious? They are more expensive than soybeans, so they must be better than soybeans, right?"

    "I don't know about this, but raw beans can't be eaten, will they be poisoned?" The old cousin said doubtfully.

    "Soy beans can be ground into soy milk and made into bean curds. I like to eat bean curds the most. I wonder if black beans can also be ground into bean curds."

    "Have you ever seen black bean curd?" the old cousin said proudly.

    "Black? No, I've only seen white bean curds"

    "Black beans are ground into black bean curds, which are very fragrant and more delicious than white ones." At this time, why do I feel that the old watch is eager to try?  Am I feeling wrong?

    "Is it so amazing? Bean curds are all black, so the beans are also all black?" I kept asking like a curious baby.  Grandpa and grandma like to eat bean curd very much. If possible, I have to take the beans back so that grandpa and grandma can also try black bean curd.

    "No, only the skin of black beans is black, and the middle is white like soybeans. If you don't believe me, look at it." Then, the old watch stuffed a "black bean" into his mouth, bit it hard, and tried to prove it to me.

    "Bah, bah, bah! What the hell!" said the old cousin, spitting out.  Black saliva flowed out from the corner of his mouth, mixed with a faint strange taste.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
