Surviving in the Big Mountains: 1984

Wang Tianxiao is reborn thirty years ago, the day before his eldest son's birth.

In temperatures below minus twenty degrees, his heavily pregnant wife clutches their three-year-old daught...

Chapter 248 The Mountains After the Rain

No matter how you look at it, it's not a good thing.

"Brother, sister-in-law, how long are you going to keep talking? Everyone else has already left."

Wang Tianxin was waiting for his brother and sister-in-law to come home together, but he found that the two of them were getting more and more into trouble and there was no end in sight, so he started to complain.

The couple smiled at each other.

"Alright, let's go back and rest first, and let this guy go for now."

Wang Tianxiao really didn't want his wife to suffer with him, so he had no choice but to retreat temporarily. Now they didn't know what awaited them ahead.

If we go out and encounter the same thing again, then we'll be in big trouble.

"That's right. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. You've killed so many jackals, I believe they're temporarily weakened and shouldn't be able to cause any major trouble for the time being."

That makes sense.

"Then let's go."

"Walk."

Wang Tianxiao responded and prepared to walk forward, but as soon as he took a step, he felt weak all over and almost collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Li Yali reacted quickly and caught him before he fell.

"Are you alright, shopkeeper?"

"elder brother!"

Li Yali and Wang Tianxin were both terrified.

Wang Tianxiao felt a little dizzy, and the things in front of him swayed violently for a moment. He stood with his eyes closed for a while, and then slowly opened them, and his vision returned to normal.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a little dizzy. It's probably because I sat on the ground for too long and didn't eat much, so my blood sugar is a bit low."

"Then...can you still walk?"

“It should be fine,” Wang Tianxiao said. He took a few steps forward and found that his legs were still a little weak, but not so weak that he couldn’t walk at all.

But Li Yali and Wang Tianxin didn't want him to continue like this. They stood firmly between him, one on each side, as if he were a porcelain doll that could collapse at any moment.

Seeing that refusing was useless, he accepted.

There's nothing shameful about his younger brother and wife caring about him.

They're not outsiders.

On the way, Wang Tianxin, who had recovered, kept telling Li Yali about Wang Tianxiao's amazing deeds from the previous day until the evening. He especially talked about killing wolves one by one with a single shot, describing it vividly. Li Yali listened with a mix of tension and amusement.

Wang Tianxiao felt that his younger brother truly had a talent for storytelling.

Wang Tianxiao felt that he could never tell the same story as interestingly.

The three chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, they had returned to the depot.

Wang Tianxiao first inquired about Wu Wenhua, and only felt relieved after hearing that he had been sent to the Municipal People's Hospital.

Li Yali thoughtfully boiled water for him so that he could wash off the sweat and bloodstains.

Then take a good, comfortable nap.

And while Wang Tianxiao was washing, she was gently wiping his back from behind.

His fingers would occasionally brush against Wang Tianxiao's back, tickling him. If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight and there were many people outside, he would have liked to engage in some primitive exercise.

Because he hadn't slept all night and was under a lot of stress, Wang Tianxiao felt extremely tired. He lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and fell asleep very quickly without much effort.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

He opened his eyes and saw his wife, Li Yali, making shoe insoles beside him. He asked, "What time is it?"

"Ah, you're awake, shopkeeper."

Li Yali put down her work. "Are you hungry? You didn't eat anything when you came back this morning and went straight to sleep."

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because as soon as he did, Wang Tianxiao immediately felt his stomach empty and a wave of hunger washed over him.

"I am indeed a little hungry," he said with a smile.

"Wait a moment, I'll go heat up your food right away."

Li Yali slipped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and went out, dragging her shoes along.

Wang Tianxiao sat up, put on his clothes, and climbed onto the windowsill to look at the mountains outside.

Under the moonlight, the mountains seemed to be draped in a thin white veil, possessing a unique, hazy beauty.

It's deep winter, and fewer and fewer birds are calling out outside, not to mention various insects, so the mountains become exceptionally quiet after dark.

Feeling the tranquility of the mountains, Wang Tianxiao's heart gradually calmed down. He longed to stay in the mountains forever, enjoying this peaceful and stress-free life.

Wang Tianxiao remembered that in his previous life, he would often come across videos of mountains in the rain while browsing short videos, and he would always feel very relaxed.

He was once confused as to how the mountains, which he had spent half his life trying to escape, had become his final spiritual home.

Many people want to go to the city, but the reinforced concrete of the city, the insincerity and backstabbing between people, and everyone crammed into a small house of only a few dozen square meters, with the dining table placed at the door of the toilet, is it really comfortable?

He just couldn't figure it out.

Every time he went to help his son Wang Peng take care of his grandson, he would get sick, and he didn't know many people wherever he went.

Be careful when walking; you might get hit by a car while crossing the street.

It wasn't relaxing or comfortable at all.

In contrast, this situation doesn't exist in the mountains at all.

Apart from the inconvenient transportation and the distance from the hospital, everything else seems much better than in the city.

Humans.

What you truly gain, you never truly cherish.

The scenery is always better in someone else's place.

Hi.

He looked back at God, wondering what he was thinking.

The meaning of life is hard to truly figure out. If you really figure it out completely, that's probably when life starts to get boring.

It's probably precisely because people haven't figured things out that they keep exploring.

Li Yali brought in the food.

The bean and rice soup was very thick and looked delicious.
