After a good sleep, early the next morning, Song Shiwei and her friends set off with several older brothers and nephews of the Wang family.
When they came, they brought a lot of luggage with them, and the eldest brother of the Wang family specially brought a donkey to carry the things.
There is one benefit to the livestock raised by mountain people, such as cattle and donkeys.
They can follow us over mountains and across rivers.
But the car is not okay.
The night before, the sisters-in-law of the Wang family fed the donkey well early in the morning, so the donkey’s legs and feet were full of energy when it set out on the journey today.
Without having to carry luggage, not only Song Shiwei, but even Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong felt relieved.
It is summer now, and it feels a bit hot outside, but once you get into the mountains, it feels a lot cooler.
The trees are lush and the shade completely blocks the sun, so it doesn't feel too hot when climbing the mountain.
Along the way, several brothers were singing folk songs loudly. When they sang together, their voices were so loud that they scared away many birds in the forest.
Xinxin found it interesting and hummed along while climbing the mountain.
I felt a little thirsty after singing for a while.
She couldn't help but murmur, "Mom, these uncles have really good voices. They're still singing! Should we ask them to stop and take a break?"
Song Shiwei looked ahead and shook his head.
"They sang so loudly on purpose!"
Xinxin was stunned when she heard this.
"Intentionally? Why?"
Song Shiwei had heard about this from Old Li before.
"There are many wild animals in this mountain. If people go in and deliberately make some noise, they will hear them from afar and run away. But if you encounter them from close, those wild animals will be frightened and will bite you!"
When Xinxin heard this, she immediately understood.
"So that's what it means! No wonder these uncles seem to have started singing since they entered the mountains!"
If you think about it this way, this journey is not easy. They are really risking their lives to be willing to follow us into the mountains.
How can it be easy to make a living in this world? Everyone has to work hard.
Thinking of this, Xinxin felt a little bit of admiration.
These uncles from the Wang family won’t lose out by taking the money her mother gave them!
The road in the mountains was not easy to walk on. The third brother of the Wang family was clearing the weeds in front with a sickle, trying to make the road as passable as possible.
But Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong were already quite old, and they hadn't climbed a mountain road for many years. They were obviously exhausted after walking for a while.
Although the Wang family's elder brothers were not tired yet, seeing their appearance, they still let them rest where they were.
However, he couldn't help but worry.
"Uncle and Auntie, we may not be able to rest for too long. We must reach Kadazi Mountain before the sun sets. Otherwise, if we are too late in this deep mountain, it will be dangerous!"
According to their pace, it would take them half a day to reach their destination after climbing over two hills.
It takes more than two hours to go up the mountain and one hour to go down the mountain, so you can get there in six or seven hours!
They set out at around six in the morning, and after six or seven hours, it was only one or two in the afternoon.
But now it was almost twelve o'clock and they had just climbed over the first hill.
In other words, it took them almost six hours to climb that mountain alone. If they had continued at this speed, it might have been dark by the time they reached Kadazi Mountain.
People tend to walk slower and slower, and their physical strength will become less and less able to keep up, so that's why the eldest brother of the Wang family has this worry.
Zhao Huili was naturally anxious too.
After resting for a while and feeling a little better, he quickly stood up with the help of Song Zhiyong.
"Let's go! Let's get going! We can't delay any longer!"
She couldn't delay everyone's journey because of herself. If anything dangerous happened, she would regret it even if she lost her life!
Although Song Shiwei was anxious, he was also afraid that Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong would get hurt.
I can only try my best to hold them together, especially when they encounter slopes and bumps.
Since the two of them couldn't get up, Song Shiwei, Xinxin and several older brothers from the Wang family pulled them up.
Everyone subconsciously walked a little faster.
Fortunately, after rushing for a long time, we finally arrived at Kadazi Mountain before dark!
The brothers of the Wang family had originally thought that after sending them off they could speed up their pace to rush back in the afternoon, but now it seems that they can’t leave!
Song Shiwei and Zhao Huili felt guilty.
"Brothers of the Wang family, since we can't go home tonight, how about this? I'd like you to take us to the school where my sister teaches. We're not familiar with the route, so could you please help us find out where Tarim Primary School is? I know you've been working hard, so I'll give you an extra ten yuan as a reward, and I'll cover all the accommodation and meals for tonight! Is that okay with you?"
The Wang family brothers were a little worried at first, but now that they heard that they could earn more money, why wouldn't they agree?
Besides, we have already walked the most difficult mountain road, so isn’t it just about accompanying them to find that school?
After the Wang family's several elder brothers discussed it, the eldest brother of the Wang family agreed to this matter.
He smiled happily and said, "Okay, no problem! Money or not is a small matter!"
Song Shiwei knew that he was just being polite, so she quickly took out 125 yuan from her pocket and handed it to him.
"Brother Wang, this is what we agreed on beforehand. This is the hard work fee for sending us to Kadazi Mountain! Keep it safe! I'll give you the rest of the money when we get to school!"
When those people saw that Song Shiwei was indeed trustworthy and gave them the money, they were very happy.
The eldest of the Wang family took the money, counted it, and confirmed that it was one hundred and twenty-five. His face immediately lit up with joy. Not only him, but the other people in the Wang family were also very happy.
It seemed as if all the fatigue from a whole day of walking on the mountain road had dissipated.
"Well, sister, uncle and aunt, let's find a place to stay first. It's too late today. Let's set off early tomorrow morning!"
Zhao Huili and Song Zhiyong were indeed exhausted, their legs trembling. They quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay, everyone's worked hard, let's find a place to rest first!"
Xinxin, on the other hand, looked at the enthusiastic attitudes of the Wang family's older brothers and felt even more admiration for her mother.
She really learned it, her mother is really good at it!
If I had waited until I found my aunt before giving the money, I would definitely not give it now to make the brothers happy. Although there was so much money, I couldn't see it. Who wouldn't feel frustrated? Also, I was hungry and tired, and I only ate some dry biscuits on the way. No one would feel good.
But once her mother gave them the money, they could immediately see the fruits of their labor. Wouldn’t they be happy?
Well, there was no guesthouse here, so he found a familiar fellow villager's house to stay at, and also made an agreement with Song Shiwei that he would be fine as long as he paid some money.
Song Shiwei naturally couldn't treat the other person unfairly, so she gave him ten dollars for a room. She asked for four rooms in total, which was forty dollars. She also asked him to use her kitchen and dishes, and cook dinner and tomorrow's breakfast herself, and gave him another ten dollars!
Just by staying for one night, they can earn fifty yuan. How can this family not be happy?
