"Brother Chu, how long will it take to reach the top of the mountain?"

Chu Nan looked at Wu Bei who was struggling aside and couldn't help laughing: "I told you a long time ago that you must keep some strength at the beginning and don't get too fast at once. How about it? You can't walk anymore, right?"

"Who said?" Wu Bei was surprisingly stubborn, "I can still walk around, just want to know how long it will take..."

Chu Nan looked up and wiped his sweat, saying, "It's too soon, it's probably half the distance."

When Wu Bei heard this, her face changed suddenly, but this time she insisted on following her. In addition, she was a very stubborn person in her bones, so naturally she could not easily admit defeat. So without saying a word, she continued to climb upwards. It was only from her red face and stubborn eyes that she was just competing with herself.

Chu Nan smiled secretly in his heart. Seeing that Wu Bei was still holding his breath and climbing up, Chu Nan sat directly on the ground and shouted, "Let's rest and leave, I'm so tired."

Wu Bei stopped and panted, "It's not possible to walk so far, so let's take a rest."

Chu Nan walked over, sat down next to Chu Nan, leaning against Chu Nan, and gasping continuously.

Chu Nan took off his backpack, opened it and turned it out from it, ham, bread, milk, and canned food, all scattered on the grass, and said with a smile: "Eat something first and then go, and replenish your energy. After all, you have to go down the mountain after reaching the top of the mountain. Haven't you heard that going up the mountain is easy to go down the mountain?"

Wu Bei's throat was almost choked for no reason, and Chu Nan asked with a smile: "What, do you regret it?"

Wu Beijiao snorted and said, "What do I have to regret? It's just that this is the first time I have climbed such a high mountain since I was a child. Alas, I really don't know how Liu Meiling's home lived in such a place. It's so inconvenient to get in and out!"

"Yes." Chu Nan said, "The old man once told me that there are many such small valleys in China, but no one will pay attention to them in normal times. They are closed inside, and they feel a little isolated from the world, so that even the country is about to forget them. Alas... Now I suddenly admire Liu Meiling's mother even more. She can live here without fear of hard work, which shows how great their love is."

"Yeah." Wu Bei nodded and said with a deep sense of agreement, "This aunt is indeed great. I can't wait to see her. Let's eat. After eating, let's set off early and try to get to the place before the afternoon."

"Eat something!"

The two of them walked so far, and the tray of buns in the morning had been digested. After eating them one by one, Wu Bei took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, stood up, clapped her hands and said, "I'm starting to be energetic again, let me set off...ah, what are you doing!"

Chu Nan carried his backpack and hugged Wu Bei horizontally, laughing and said, "You'd better stop showing off here. I'll hug you for a while and let you go when I'm tired!"

"No, no, I can walk, you can let me down!"

But Chu Nan didn't care about her kicking and just held her and walked upwards with her steadily. Wu Bei was stunned when she looked at the scenery on both sides of her hurry. Only then did she realize that she was walking so slowly just now, that it was Chu Nan who was accommodated and holding her own living person of more than 90 pounds. Chu Nan could still be so fast, which was simply horrifying.

Chu Nan used to be tortured by the old man in the deep mountains. This amount of exercise was drizzling for Chu Nan. Not long after, Chu Nan carried her to the top of the mountain, and then went all the way down. After almost reaching the foot of the mountain, Chu Nan put her down. Even if Chu Nan exercised well on weekdays, he breathed slightly, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Wu Bei took out the handkerchief, wiped Chu Nan gently with a gentle face, and said softly: "You fool, how good I can let myself go."

Chu Nan grabbed Wu Bei's wrist and said softly: "I will feel sorry for..."

"Hey, who are you two?"

Chu Nan let go of Wu Bei's hand, and the two of them looked at the sound together, but saw a big man covered in black carrying a bundle of firewood and holding a sickle in his hand. He looked at Chu Nan and the others and asked loudly.

Chu Nan took Wu Bei's hand, walked forward quickly, and said politely: "Are you from Huazigou?"

The big man looked at Chu Nan up and down, nodded and said, "Yes, I am from Huazigou. Are you? I have never seen you, a new face!"

Chu Nan smiled and said, "We came from Jiangwan City."

"Jiangwan City? Oh, I heard that place, I heard that it is a place for rich people, what are you doing here?"

Chu Nan asked, "Brother, do you know an aunt named Meng Caijun?"

The big man widened his eyes, suddenly waved his sickle, and slashed directly towards Chu Nan.

Wu Bei screamed in shock, and Chu Nan grabbed the big man's wrist firmly in his hand. At the same time, he said coldly with a gloomy face: "I'm talking well, why did you hit someone for no reason?"

"You bad guys, I just can't stand you, and you are harassed Sister Meng, what's wrong!"

Chu Nan frowned and heard some clues: "What do you mean is that people often come to harass Aunt Meng?"

"You bad guys are still pretending to be confused here. Don't think I can't beat you. Get out of here quickly, otherwise even the people in our ditch will not spare you!"

Chu Nan knew that he had been misunderstood and said with some amusement: "We are good friends of Aunt Meng's eldest daughter Liu Meiling. This time, she was entrusted by Meiling to come and see Aunt Meng's. "

"Who are you lying to me? If I don't leave, I'll call you!"

Chu Nan smiled bitterly and said, "It's better if you take me to see Aunt Meng. Naturally, I have a way to convince Aunt Meng."

Seeing that the man didn't believe it very much, Chu Nan took out a letter from his arms and said, "Look at this letter."

This is a letter written by Liu Meiling. After her death, Chu Nan took it out of her clothes. She just wanted to avoid any trouble at home, and to avoid Chu Nan's troubles when he came to her home.

The man took the letter half-believingly, first reading it straight, then reading it backwards, and finally shook his head and said, "The handwriting is pretty, but I don't know what it is."

Chu Nan was speechless. Why are you pretending to behave when you can't recognize words?

The big man said again: "But it doesn't look like a big bad guy. Well, come with me and I will take you to see Aunt Meng, but if you dare to lie to me, I will definitely not spare you."

Chu Nan agreed and followed the man with Wu Bei. Wu Bei quietly smiled: "Look at how he has a pretty tough temper, but he has a very straightforward personality, and doesn't seem to have any bad intentions."

Unexpectedly, the man in front of him heard this. He snorted immediately: "Although the people in our village have no knowledge or culture, we at least deserve our conscience. Unlike you urban people, you can't get any good things in your stomach, and you are full of bad intentions every day."

Chu Nan and Wu Bei knew that this man might have prejudice against him, but they didn't mind. What they were thinking about was who was disturbing Aunt Meng who never left the house. According to Liu Meiling, Aunt Meng had lived here for at least twenty years.

Especially Chu Nan, Liu Meiling entrusted her family to herself. When she heard that someone was disturbing her, Chu Nan was a little more anxious than anyone else.

As several people walked along the way, gradually someone finally appeared in front of them.

Chu Nan looked around while walking, and said in shock: "Is this Huazigou?"

Wu Bei was also deeply shocked. The bumpy earthen roads were surrounded by crooked earthen houses on both sides. Most of the houses were surrounded by earth walls. Some were dilapidated wooden doors were broken, while others were stuck in the doors.

After entering Huazigou, a few people would occasionally come out from the opposite side or from some people's houses, but overall it was still quiet and as quiet as death.

Two shirtless men walked over from the other side. The two men were dirty, grinning and laughing while walking. When walking, they swung their arms to a large extent. A slightly fat middle-aged woman wearing a red flower pattern came out of a yard next to her.

After seeing Chu Nan and Wu Bei, the two big men stood up and smiled at the man in front of Chu Nan and said, "Okay, Tiezhu, is this your friend? It seems to be a rich master. Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

"Fuck, whose friends are you? They are Meiling's friends. This time I came to visit Sister Meng!"

The fat woman who walked out of the yard shouted, "Meiling's friend? Big brother, big girl, tell me quickly, how is Meiling?"

The two men also quickly came over, surrounded Chu Nan, and kept asking, saying that Meiling would send money to her family every year, and would always send food and clothing to the people in the ditch. They dreamed of Meiling.

Although these people say exaggeratedly, their feelings are sincere and they don’t sound false at all. At this moment, Chu Nan felt even more guilty about Liu Meiling’s death.

Chu Nan naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he had to deal with everyone with some of the lies he had made up before. The main reason was that Liu Meiling is living a good life now and misses her family very much, but she can't come back because of her work and has already gone abroad.

After listening to it, everyone was so happy that they could not stop. It was definitely a great joy to be able to go abroad. The noise here alarmed several nearby families. After listening to their speechless explanations, a group of people happily surrounded Chu Nan and walked towards Liu Meiling's house.

Taking advantage of this kung fu, Chu Nan asked the iron pillar who had been trying to cut off his scythe before: "By the way, you said that someone was harassing Aunt Meng before, what was going on?"

When these people heard about this, including Tiezhu, all of them became indignant.
