Chapter 375: Go to Kaoshan Village

Jinyuan. Train station!

Li Yi sat in the waiting hall, waiting for the train to Beihe Province.

During this time, Li Yi's mind was full of previous memories.

There is a saying that seeing things reminds people of people, and there is also a feeling of being moved by the scene, which is what Li Yi is like now.

Looking at the time, there are still a few hours before the train that Li Yi is going to take arrives.

Originally, Li Yi planned to wait in the waiting room until the train arrives, after all, he is really in a hurry.

And a few hours is not worth finding a hotel, so he will just endure it.

But when thinking of Tiezhu's family, Li Yi's heart can't help but become active.

Since he has come here, why not go and see how they are now!

Li Yi had found his daughter before he was reborn, but more than 20 years have passed. Although he found her, most of his life has passed like this, which still makes people sigh.

Later, Li Yi also returned to the mountain village where Tiezhu was, but things had long changed and the whole village had disappeared.

After asking around, I learned that a heavy rain more than ten years ago caused a landslide, and the entire mountain village was buried.

After learning the news, Li Yi felt very upset, but he was powerless, which became another regret in his heart.

You know, Li Yi's business was very successful at that time, and he was not short of money, but because he was too busy, he missed the opportunity to repay his benefactor's family.

Now I am standing here again, and I have come to this place again. This may be fate, or God has given him a second chance, and Li asked him to repay this kindness.

Thinking of this, Li Yi no longer hesitated, and went directly out of the train station and walked towards the mountain village in the distance.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and Jinyuan Railway Station itself was in the suburbs of Jinyuan. Once you walk out of the railway station, it will be pitch black.

More importantly, the sky was gloomy at this time, and it was drizzling.

But even so, Li Yi decided to go to Tiezhu's house.

Li Yi remembered that Tiezhu's home was in Kaoshan Village, more than ten miles away from the railway station.

Since you are going, you can't go empty-handed. You still have to buy something. This is the most basic etiquette.

But thinking of the journey of more than ten miles, it is indeed a bit unrealistic to carry things by yourself.

Suddenly Li Yi remembered that there is a town with more than a thousand households between the railway station and Kaoshan Village. The name seems to be Manshan Town.

Because the town is close to the railway station, it is quite prosperous. There are not only shops and restaurants, but also hotels and souvenir shops. Therefore, Li Yi decided to go to Manshan Town first, and then buy things there before going to Kaoshan Village.

The town is not far from the railway station, only about three or four kilometers. After walking for more than half an hour, Li Yi finally entered the town.

The town is not big, and there are not many places with lights on at the moment. Most of them are business places such as some shops.

Then, Li Yi found a store and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, the boss greeted him with a smile and asked Li Yi what he wanted to buy.

Looking at the boss's sincere smile, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh that this place is still the same as before, and the people are still so simple.

"Give me two packs of cigarettes and some wine, two bottles will do!" Li Yi said.

"What kind of cigarettes and wine do you want?"

"What kind of wine do you have?"

The boss smiled and said, "There is no fixed price for cigarettes and wine, ranging from a few cents to a few dollars!"

"Then what do you recommend, boss?"

"You don't look like a local, so I, Lao Chi, will recommend a few things to you. If you want to give them to others, 10 yuan a pack of osmanthus cigarettes and 5 yuan a bottle of Bandaojing are more suitable. If you use them yourself, 3 yuan a pack of old Hadamen and one yuan a pound of bulk liquor are more cost-effective!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Then give us two packs of osmanthus and two bottles of Bandaojing. By the way, give me two pounds of candy, and if there are canned goods, give me two!"

"Okay, okay!"

Then the boss asked while taking things for Li Yi, "Stranger, are you buying so many things to visit relatives?"

"Yes, I plan to go to Kaoshan Village!" Li Yi said.

"The mountain village is not close. If you want to go into the mountains, you can't walk there on foot. Although the mountain road is not rugged, it is more than 20 miles long. I don't know how long it will take you to get there!" said the boss.

"How do you usually go to the mountains?" Li Yi asked curiously.

"Take a donkey cart!"

"Donkey cart?"

"Yes, there is no road on the mountain, and cars can't drive up at all. If you want to go, you can only take a donkey cart."

"Where can you take this donkey cart?"

"There are no donkey carts in the town that are specifically used to carry people. Donkey carts are used by villagers in the mountains when they go to the nearby county town to do business. Every morning before dawn, they drive the donkey carts out, and at around 7 or 8 in the evening, they drive the carts back."

"So that's how it is!"

"What a coincidence, did you see the lighted restaurant?"

"I saw it!"

"I just saw a few cart drivers go in to eat. They should be going into the mountains. You can ask them if they pass by Kaoshan Village on the way. If they do, it will save you trouble!" The boss pointed out.

Li Yi immediately expressed his gratitude and went straight to the small restaurant after paying the bill.

The restaurant is the most common noodle restaurant. Although it is past eight o'clock, there are still many diners inside.

And Li Yi also found that there are indeed a few donkeys with carts tied to the wooden stakes at the door of the restaurant.

At that moment, Li Yi pushed the door and walked in.

After entering the door, Li Yi went straight to the proprietress who greeted the guests in front, and then asked: "Excuse me, whose donkey cart is at the door?"

At this time, several middle-aged men with dark complexion in the corner said: "Mine, mine, what do you want?"

Li Yi hurried over and said: "It's like this, I'm a foreigner, I want to go to Kaoshan Village, I don't know if you pass by!"

"We are from Kaoshan Village, who are you looking for in our village?"

Li Yi smiled and replied: "Yang Tiezhu, the one who lives in the east end of the village, with a row of big poplars and a deep well at the door."

"Hey, you want to go to Brother Tiezhu's house?"

"Yes! I wonder if you can give me a ride, I can pay for the ride!" Li Yi said.

"What money do you want? Wait a minute. We'll take you to the village after we finish this!" the dark-faced man said cheerfully.

"Thank you so much!" Li Yi hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
