Qin Li asked, "Why is there a meadow so high up on the mountain?"
She had long wanted to ask this question, the top of the mountain is covered by forests, but there is a place where there are no trees, only grass, it is amazing.
"There have been avalanches in this area before, and as I said before, the Alps are the Rocky Mountains, so the soil just covers the surface. Once the avalanche uprooted the trees, the forest would disappear."
Qin Li was startled, "The avalanche is so terrible?"
Yan Sen nodded, "The avalanche caused the landslide, and after that, this area became flat." When winter is over, the spring breeze blows, and the weeds grow wildly. Our fathers looked for a source of grass, and they found it, and they built pastures, and they let their cattle go up in the summer and down in the fall. In this way, the grass in the farmhouse below the hill can be saved to make hay, which can be stored for the winter. The cattle would go up the mountain to graze every summer, and after a while, no trees would grow here."
So that's it.
Qin Li asked, "There are avalanches in winter. Isn't it dangerous here?"
Yan Sen recalled, "The last avalanche was 12 years ago. I was eighteen years old."
Qin Li asked curiously, "Are there any casualties?"
Yan Sen nodded, "Three dead and five wounded."
Qin Li, "Are they all from the village?"
Yan Sen, "It's skiers, people from the village... Only one died."
It seems to be thinking of some bad memories, Yan Sen's face a gloomy down, and he picks up the bottle to drink.
Sensitive to his change, Qin Li asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so glum all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing." Yan Sen made a careless eye and then said, "Don't worry, we won't come up here in winter."
Qin Li suddenly asked, "Can you ski? Can you teach me?"
Skiing has always been a place for rich people to show off their wealth and pretend to be forced, even if they are not good at skiing, they can also pose to pull up the value of force.
She thought Yan Sen grew up here, skiing and skating which is not easy to get, and did not expect this proud Jiao man will refuse, Qin Li was not startled.
"I swore I would never touch a snowboard again in my life."
Qin Li asked, "Why?"
Yan Sen smiled, his eyes twinkling, "Because he has never won a competition."
He said easily, but his look was inexplicably heavy, and she vaguely felt that the reason might not be so simple. However, this is his private, if he is not willing to say, even if his gossip, also can not dig out the reason.
She didn't want to be a nuisance, so she changed the conversation and took the initiative to move on.
Two people talk, and most of the time Qin Li questions, Yan Sen explained. There are too many fun and interesting things on the mountain, Yan Sen not only farming, but also grazing and hunting, so the experience is rich, and half will not be finished.
After chatting all night, Qin Li vowed to watch the sunrise on the mountain together. Unfortunately, at the dawn of the day, she could not stop the waves of sleep, her head tilted, fell on Yan Sen's shoulder, and went to sleep.
So, the most beautiful moment, she did not see.
Facing the glare of the sun, Yan Sen stretched out his hand to block it, squinting his eyes and looking up to drink the last mouthful of beer that had gone.
He turned to look at the sleeping woman on his shoulder, and a place in his heart went soft. When he had the chance, he would take her to that place, but not to ski, but to worship her father.
Yan Sen bent down and picked up Qin Li, crossed the obstacles on the ground, walked to the inner room, gently put her on the bed, and then covered her with the quilt.
Looking at her peacefully sleeping face, he leaned over and kissed her, silently, good night, darling.
***
When Qin Li woke up, it was already three poles in the sun, there was no one in the house, Yan Sen went to work, and the rest of the people went down the mountain.
She habitually went to touch the mobile phone, but the result of the mobile phone did not touch, but touched a bowl, the bowl contained the leftover crickets from last night. She wasn't sleepwalking herself, and Thomas certainly wouldn't have done it, either, except for Yim Sen.
Of course, Yan Sen did not let her take crickets for breakfast, but he was going to herding cattle in the morning, afraid that she would be harassed by Toby when she fell asleep, so he put a bowl of worms on the bed cabinet.
Qin Li cannot help laughing, but his heart is sweet, this rough man now also began to take the gentle route.
It is estimated that Qin Li was the first person to take fried crickets as a talisman. She even thinks it's funny.
See her down from the bed, little black milk sound milk gas to boil a sound, and then fart ran over, take the hairy head to rub Qin Li's legs.
These fried insects are just fresh, they don't taste good overnight, and the raw materials here are inexhaustible.
She put the bowl on the ground, and black immediately put out his tongue to lick, after a while, the bowl to lick dry.
Little black hit the mouth and hadn't eaten, Qin Li way, "I'll give you a drink grandma."
Little black like to understand, call a jump to bed, straight to Qin Li arms drill.
After playing with the dog for a while, Qin Li got up to wash his face and brush his teeth. The water in the tap was probably also the snow water on the mountain. The cold made the gums cramp.
Breakfast is bread, butter, and jam, jam is made by Yan Sen himself, and the taste is not bad. On the first day of the mountain, there was no time to milk the cow, so I could only cook some hot water and eat.
When she had finished eating and was fully dressed, she opened the door, and the fresh air outside came to her face, and the little black jumped and jumped out. Even pets, it seems, crave nature. Yearning for freedom is probably the nature of the animal kingdom.
Today is a sunny day with, a clear sky, Qin Li walked around a circle and finally found Yan Sen. He was digging with a shovel, did not come for a year, and the stakes of the cattle pen were burned by the sun, and they needed to be driven again and wound up on the grid.
Yan Sen wore an old undershirt, a pair of leather pants that came just to the knees, and a very Bavarian hat with a feather in it.
Qin Li dry cough, hey hey, who is the farmer yo, do a job, but also dressed so coquetry?
Hearing the noise, he unconsciously looked up and saw her. His eyes narrowed and his mouth opened, revealing a pair of charming dimples. Since he met Qin Li, he has become fond of laughing, which makes him full of life. In Thomas's words, Yan Sen came to life and was no longer a breathing statue.
Qin Li asked, "What can I do for you?"
Yan Sen folded his hands on the shovel and said, "Just stay with me." Let me look up and see you whenever I want."
Qin Li smiled and spat, "glib!"
Yan Sen said, "Thank you."
Qin Li, "No one praises you. Really, what can I do for you?"
Yan Sen, "No need. Women can't do a man's job."
Qin Li did not give up the tunnel, "You see, in order not to drag you down, I especially wear a work uniform."
Yan Sen laughed as she remembered the first time she went to milk, wearing a long white dress. "Are you going to help me?"
Qin Li, "Why bother?"
Seeing her insistence, Yan Sen said, "Then help me get the cows here and let them into the cattle pen."
Qin Li nodded, looked around, and asked, "Where's the cow?"
Yan Sen, "Look for it yourself."
Cattle were put out to graze early in the morning, spread all over the mountains, to find 50 cattle to call the dragon, it is estimated that the sun is also down.
Qin Li hung his head and asked, "Are there any entry-level jobs?"
Yan Sen couldn't help laughing, "Forget it, you'd better go inside and stay."
Qin Li did not dare to bargain anymore and said, "I will go."
She picked up a branch from the ground, plucked the leaf, and then turned and ran out.
See the master ran, black also excited, propped up four stout little short legs, followed happily, running while calling. This piece of quiet land is no longer as quiet as oil painting, but instantly fresh and vivid.
Most of the cattle did not go far, but only around this part of the pasture, because the grass was the tenderest here.
Qin Li waved the branches, panting after the cow, driving the cow to the place where the cow pen, Xiaohei barking at the side to cheer up.
The cow seemed to deliberately tease her, walking around and back to the same place, and just refusing to go home.
Yan Sen saw her running back and forth, and then the soles of her feet tripped, plopped, and fell forward. The whole person disappeared in front of his eyes for a second, when he hesitated to go and see, Qin Li suddenly climbed up and burned a face of black mud.
Yan Sen threw his shovel and laughed.
Qin Li angrily threw down his cattle prod and strode toward the lake. The water was very clear and the area bordering the shore was covered with chalk. She spit out a mouthful of mud, picked up a handful of water, and splashed it on her face, but luckily it was only mud...
Washed many times, finally washed the face to clean, optimistic thinking, as to apply a snow mountain mud mask.
Yan Sen came over and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Qin Li nodded, although he had just eaten breakfast, after the exercise just now, all digested.
Yan Sen took out a handkerchief from his pocket, opened the handkerchief inside the oil paper, opened the layers of oil paper, and finally revealed a small piece of meat.
"Would you like a taste?"
Qin Li nodded subconsciously, in fact, she was not interested in bacon but saw his package so good, suddenly some wondered what would be delicious.
Yan Sen took out his switchblade and cut off a small piece for her.
Qin Li put it in his mouth, and as soon as he tasted it, he wanted to spit it out.
Oh, my God. Did you drop it in a salt tank?
Yan Sen saw her eyes and nose were wrinkled together, and could not help but ask, "Not delicious?"
It's not obvious. Yummy. Can she look like that?
Qin Li asked, "It's not like pork."
Yan Sen, "It's venison."
Qin Li, "Did you go hunting by yourself?"
Yan Sen gave a sound.
Qin Li was suddenly excited, "Aren't you carrying a shotgun? When are you going to take me hunting with you, so that I can grow my knowledge?"
Yan Sen, "OK, wait for a while, and finish some work at hand."
Qin Li asked, "How do you spend these three months every year?"
Yan Sen, "Get up at five o 'clock in the morning, herd cattle out of the house, and then plant vegetables and pick fruit." Take a nap in the middle of the day and drive the cattle back to the barn before the sun goes down. A glass of beer in the evening, a book, and that's how the day passes."
Qin Li, "This day after day after year, isn't it boring?"
Yan Sen, "Got used to it. There is always work to be done at the cottage below the mountain, but on the mountain, there is nothing to be done, and time passes by."
Qin Li tutted and shook his head, "Isn't that wasting time?"
Yan Sen's correction, "is back to nature."
Qin Li threw a handful of water on him, "It is lazy."
Yan Sen was splashed by her wet clothes, simply took off his clothes and shoes, and jumped into the river.
Even in June, the temperature on the mountain is still low, the water temperature is 20 degrees. Qin Li knew that it was the constitution of the tofu slag project, and could not be compared with the soil farmer Yan Sen, so he did not dare to go splashing in the water. There is no village and no shop, and it takes four hours to walk down the mountain if you get sick with a cold, but you don't even have a doctor, you can only rely on yourself.
The little black smell came, head into Yan Sen's clothes, in full view of the public, a soak of dog urine, thereby claiming territory. Seeing this, Yan Sen grabbed Xiaohei and threw it into the lake.
A dark figure drew a parabola in the air and finally fell into the water in a free fall, the little black ah ah ah cried to tear the lungs. After a struggle in the water, it automatically opened the dog climbing mode, and after it paddled and swam a circle, it refused to go ashore.
Yan Sen swam a circle in the lake as if it were a bath. He came ashore in his underpants because he had no trunks, the fabric was not waterproof, and it was all wet. Put it on him, and when the wind blows, that's...
That small tent is too attractive, Qin Li inexplicably some cranky, as if the throat lit a fire.
Yan Sen saw her looking at him without blinking for a moment, and came over this way, "See what?"
"Look at you. Can't you wear swim trunks?"
Yan Sen, "No."
Qin Li, "Why not?"
Yan Sen, "I used to come alone, so I swam naked."
Qin Li, "...
Yan Sen saw her eyes bright, lips red as if tempting him to drink tea. He took her arm in one hand, took her face in the other, and bent down to kiss it.
The titillation of the tongue is full of temptation...
Qin Li was confused by his kiss and felt that he was about to be straightened by him on the spot, so although very passionate, but his aunt was in. Let's wait.
So she took a step back, pressed against his chest, and exclaimed, "That thing."
Ke?
Seeing him looking at him, Qin Li had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said, "Let me sing you a song."
Yan Sen asked, "What song?"
She cleared her throat and a song came to her.
You are like the fire, the flames warm me;
You are like the fire that lights me up.
Although I am happy, but did not tell you, I also know that you like me.
You are like a fire in the winter, the flames warm my heart.
Every time you sneak up on me, the fire lights me up.
Your big eyes, bright and shining, like the sky star, the brightest one.
...
See her singing and dancing, Yan Sen on the side to her tapping, fundus revealed a smile.
Qin Li finished the song and asked Yan Sen expectantly, "How was it?"
Think of Fei Xiang elder brother with this song, but the fire all over the river.
Yan Sen asked, "What do the lyrics mean?"
So, Qin Li roughly explained, in these two sentences, there is no technical content in the translation.
Yan Sen afterthought for a while, and finally spit out a sentence, "Yes, I like it."
Being praised, Qinlitt was happy and asked, "Really?"
Yan Sen nodded, "You teach me."
