Chapter 80: Set rules for pigs
In this way, the days passed day by day, and winter passed before I knew it, and the weather became warmer.
In the early morning of this day, the sun showed its head early, and Wang An drove back to his hometown. He had been away for nearly two months, and he missed the elderly at home very much.
We returned to the mountain village in the afternoon.
Compared with the Chinese New Year, the mountain village has become much deserted.
The remaining people in the village are middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and above. Those young and middle-aged people have left the village after the Spring Festival. Some of them have gone to big cities like Hu'an to work hard, and some of them have gone to county towns.
Now the village is left with empty nesters and occasionally two left-behind children.
Wang An stopped the car and carried his bags to the door. He found that the door was locked and the two old people were not at home.
“I went out, where did I go? Up the mountain?”
He turned his head and looked at the forest not far away, then put his things back in the car and went up the mountain.
When he went up the mountain and saw no one around, he increased his speed. He walked quickly on the mountain road, with the wind whistling in his ears, and soon he reached the place where the two old men usually worked.
As expected, I saw two old men collecting firewood on the hillside near Tiandi.
At this time, it was a cold spring day, and the mountain peaks were still a little cold. Seeing the backs of the two old men, Wang An sighed, and then walked in the direction of the two old men.
“Grandma, grandpa.” He shouted from a distance.
The two old men turned around when they heard the shouting and were surprised to see Wang An.
“Xiao An, why are you back?”
At this moment, a head suddenly poked out of the woods not far away. A wild boar stared at the two old men, less than ten meters away from them.
"Be careful!" Wang An couldn't help but become nervous when he saw this, and the power in his body suddenly burst out, and he shot out.
He crossed more than three meters in one step. The moment he landed, he grabbed the ground with his soles, kicked off the ground, and his strength exploded. He jumped out at once, leaving a footprint on the ground. Like arrows or galloping horses, people ran in front of the two old men at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.
The wild boar in the forest twitched its nose a few times and was obviously stunned. With a cry, he turned around and ran away, as if he had thought of something terrible.
“Wild boar?!” The old man was also startled.
"In the past two years, there have been more and more wild boars in this mountain." Wang An's grandfather said.
“We have to set some rules for them.” Wang An stared at the woods and said.
“Set up rules, wild boars are not humans, what rules do they know?”
"You know, if you don't understand, let them all turn into dead pigs or roasted pigs!" Wang And said, if he had been rushed by the wild boar just now and had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"It's still so cold today, why did you go up the mountain? Does your waist feel better?" After saying this, Wang An picked up the firewood tied in the old man's hand.
“Okay, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” The old man said with a smile.
“You can’t rush out to work if it doesn’t hurt. You can go for a walk, but you won’t do heavy physical labor.”
“The firewood at home is about the same.”
“Tomorrow, I will collect firewood for you.”
Wang An carried firewood and accompanied the two old people down the mountain to go home.
“Did you come back alone this time?” Wang An’s grandmother couldn’t help but ask on the way home.
Hmm, Wang An nodded.
“How was your recent conversation with Hua Jie?”
“Well, um, I broke up with her.” Wang An said directly after hesitating for a while.
“It just doesn’t feel right.”
"Why is it not suitable? I think this girl is pretty good. Do you have a crush on another girl, or does she have a crush on someone else?" The old man asked as if he was breaking the casserole.
“I, I like something better.” Wang An pondered for a moment and lied.
“Better, what’s your name, how old is it, what does it look like, where are you from, do you have a photo? Show it and let me see.” The old man immediately asked five questions in a row.
“Isn’t it appropriate to take photos of someone I just met?”
“We just met, how long have we known each other?” The old man was not ready to let Wang An go.
“Hey, less than a week.” Wang An raised his hand and scratched his head.
“Didn’t you lie to me?”
"No, if it happens, I will definitely bring her back to meet you." Wang An said with a smile.
After returning home, the first thing Wang An did after putting away his things was to help his grandfather check his waist.
After some inspection, Wang An breathed a sigh of relief. It had not deteriorated and was better than when he left. It seemed that his grandfather had not left Wu Qinxi behind during his absence.
“Grandpa, do you practice Wu Qin Xi every now and then?”
“No, I practice almost every day,” the old man said.
“That’s good, you have to keep at it.”
In the evening, Wang An went to the kitchen, made a sumptuous dinner, and drank two cups with the old man.
“Aren’t you busy working in Hu’an?”
“Not busy.” Wang An said with a smile.
The reason why he went back to his hometown this time was, firstly, because he had not been back for some days and wanted to come back to accompany the two old people. Secondly, it was because he was planning to go out and have a look at Taihe Mountain, which would probably take some time. Can't come back.
“What are you doing with a big stone?” The old man pointed at the marble ball that Wang An took out of the car.
“Exercise.” In addition to buying some gifts, Wang An also brought back such a stone ball.
After dinner and chatting with the two old men for a while, Wang An went to the yard to practice Tai Chi Yunshou alone.
The stone ball rotated and tumbled between his hands. His hands pushed, pressed, or caught the stone ball, exerting force or releasing force, all on the stone ball.
After practicing Tai Chi Yunshou for a while, he went into the house to rest.
The next morning, after practicing Wu Qin Xi with the two old men, he went up the mountain alone. Following the direction we came back from last time, we found the nest of the group of wild boars.
Smelling a familiar smell, the group of wild boars were very uneasy and stared in the direction of Wang An.
“I came to you today to set a rule.”
Hmm, hum, the wild boars barked twice.
“Long time no see, come on, let’s practice.” After saying this, Wang An took the initiative and the group of wild boars dispersed.
Wang An was chasing after him, and there were a few small wild boars among them that naturally couldn't run fast.
He quickly caught up with him. Seeing that the child was about to suffer, the big wild boar hesitated for a moment, and then rushed towards Wang An at a very fast speed.
Seeing that he was in front of him, Wang An dodged and raised his hand, and the wild boar flew out in a swish and hit an old tree, wailing uncontrollably.
Those little wild boars dispersed in a hurry, and Wang An continued to hunt them in the mountains and forests.
Wherever he passed, countless mountain birds were startled.
In the valley, a wild boar stopped and sniffed the air with its nose twitching. He seemed to smell something.
But there was not a single person to be seen in the forest, only weeds and trees with fallen leaves.
