In the previous life, there was no single photo of Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi, not even a single photo of Jiang Shuyi. This problem no longer exists this time.

Everyone was looking for a suitable place to take pictures in the forest. Yan Xiao also created an atmosphere by grabbing dead pine needles from the ground and scattering them into the air to create a fallen leaf effect. However, Zhou Zhi estimated that the effect of the needles would not be very good.

There are also many harvests in the pine forest, mushrooms and fungus.

Mu Ruyun looked down upon it, saying that it would only come out after it rained, and that there was really nothing left on the roadside now.

However, the friends at the bottom of the mountain would not listen to him. A small gain was enough to make them excited.

The two barbarians and the three barbarians have gone crazy killing squirrels.

But the squirrels were not easy to get along with, and they climbed up the tree. Even though the friends collectively used pine cones to help throw the squirrels, the two squirrels and the three squirrels were still lonely.

By the time we got back to the big courtyard after all the mischief, it was time for lunch.

This time, it was chicken stew with dried mushrooms, which was so fresh that it could make people swallow their tongues.

The friends asked Mu Mu to add the fresh fungus and three handfuls of mushrooms they had just picked up. In fact, from a cooking point of view, the dried mushrooms are fresher than the fresh mushrooms. Everyone just wanted to eat them with their own hands.

In the afternoon, we had free time and had a good rest. Mu's father said that the big truck had been arranged, but he was not allowed to leave today and had to stay one more night. He would send everyone down the mountain tomorrow morning.

The monk continued to teach the plane to chop firewood, the handsome salt rat continued to train the dog, and Mu Ruyun took the girls to visit the lumber factory and tea factory.

Mu’s father and mother were preparing gifts for the children to take home.

Kuding tea, Laoyin tea, this place is almost worthless at this time.

There are also smoked bamboo shoots. The old Mu family collects wild products and produces them themselves, so there are so many of them.

Smoked bamboo shoots are Zhou Zhi's favorite food. Unlike corn, no matter how much you make soup or stir-fry fatty meat, you can't get enough of it.

Kuding tea and Laoyin tea are also very good, they have the taste of tea, but they won’t make you sleepy after drinking them.

But Zhou Zhi was dishonest and dug out an embryonic slingshot made of oak lattice in Lao Mu's bedroom. He fell in love with the pattern at first sight and begged Lao Mu to give it to him.

Before dinner, everyone freely grouped together for a walk. Zhou Zhi, Lao Mu, Jiang Shuyi, Zhang Xinyi, and Ye Xin were in a group. However, as they walked, Lao Mu and the three disappeared, leaving only Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi.

.

"Comfortable."

"Um."

"Do you like this way of playing?"

"like."

"How do you feel about them? Wenyu, Monk, Xueshan and the others."

"Everyone is doing well."

"Did you not have many friends before?"

"Definitely not as many as you, but there are still some."

"Then when will you take me to meet them? Now you know my friends, but I haven't met your friends yet."

"Aren't they Xin Yi and Xin Xin?"

"I mean the kind of friends that you can only get to know through you. Just like Xueshan and Monk, if you don't go through me, you will never make friends."

Jiang Shuyi was silent and walked for a while before speaking: "Okay, but I don't know when she will come back."

"Um?"

"She went to Shenzhen City to work."

"Oh. Male or female?"

"I only have female friends."

"You also have boy friends now."

"That's right." Jiang Shuyi smiled, looked up at Zhou Zhi and said, "Thank you, Zhou Zhi."

"I don't know if we will be assigned to the same school during our study tour." Zhou Zhi said, "I hope it will be the same school."

"There are only five people in our liberal arts class. You, Lao Mu, Xin Yi, me, and Zhang Lu. Are you familiar with Zhang Lu?"

"Zhang Lu and we often play football together. His father is a sailor and has been working on ships for a long time. He has a wide range of knowledge. This exam tests comprehensive ability, so it's not surprising."

"But his trouble is the same as mine before, he is struggling with whether to study liberal arts or science."

"Yes, in addition to English and politics, he is also good at physics and chemistry."

"If he chooses science by then, we will be the only ones studying liberal arts. No matter which school he goes to, it should be one boy and one girl. It should be like this."

"Then let Zhang Lu choose science." Jiang Shuyi was naughty in a rare moment.

"Hahahaha..." Zhou Zhi laughed and said, "Actually, that buddy Zhang Lu is quite good. Last semester we even talked about the Three Kingdoms together."

"I hope he continues to study liberal arts, otherwise once he leaves, our class's football will be impossible to pick up as the fourth child, and we won't even think about the chance of becoming the third child."

Seeing that the two of them had already walked far away from Lao Mu's house, Zhou Zhi said, "Let's go back. It's almost time to have dinner when we get back."

"Um."

The two began to turn around and walk back slowly.

Jiang Shuyi asked: "Zhou Zhi, why did Xue Shan give me that copy of "The Thorn Birds"?"

"You really asked me a question." Zhou Zhi said, "Have you read that book?"

"I've gone through it roughly."

"The purpose of giving her this book is to let her know that in addition to the life-or-death love in Qiong Yao's story, there is another kind of love. I want to correct her concept in this regard."

"Meggie?"

"Yes, I want to tell Xueshan that life will not allow us to remain pure and beautiful after all. Choose to accept this reality, and then, like Meggie, always treasure the purity and beauty in our hearts, and then continue to live sincerely and calmly.

This is true bravery.”

Jiang Shuyi was silent for a while: "If this is what Xueshan meant when she forwarded the book to me, I am very grateful to her. She is a friend worth making."

"I really don't know if she understands this meaning." Zhou Zhi could only smile bitterly: "But she knows, and I will definitely tell you. So...she is indeed a friend worth making."

"After we go back, won't we be able to see each other during this holiday?" Jiang Shuyi lowered her head and looked at the road ahead.

"No, don't forget to have photos from this trip, I will send them to you."

"Yeah." Jiang Shuyi seemed to be in a better mood: "Then I'll wait for you."

"Don't get too deep into that book. Xueshan's book has been tested for many years, but you are different."

"After all, there are still vacation homework and previews. What awaits us is the provincial key points. Even if it is only a month, it will be very scary."

"Well, I'll just watch it again."

…

…

Early the next morning, the friends got up early, had breakfast, climbed onto the forest farm's big truck, and set off at six o'clock. It only took three hours to go downhill and reach Fubao Town.

Dad Mu took Ye Xin and Mu Ruyun and put the friends on the bus back to Jiachuan.

Before the car drove off, Dad Mu repeatedly told Zhou Zhi to give him a copy after he finished writing his article.

Zhou Zhi still asked the driver to change the tape he brought and sat next to Jiang Shuyi.

Jiang Shuyi asked: "Zhou Zhi, are you going to write an article again?"

"There is an article, but this time it's a paper."

"What paper?"

"An essay on Jiachuan dialect."

"Can I understand it?"

"The first half is collected from the old Jiachuan dialect. You will definitely find it interesting. The later part will involve medieval phonology, so there is no need to spend energy on that. By the way, have you heard the story of Zhu Hongman?"

"No."

"Zhu Hongman is an allegorical character in "Zhuangzi". "Zhuangzi: Li Yukou" says that Zhu Hongman wanted to learn a surprising skill. After hearing that Zhiliyi would slay dragons, he went to worship Zhiliyi as his teacher.

"

"It took me three full years of training and all my family property wasted before I could master the art of slaying dragons. The result? There are no dragons in the world at all."

"So, your paper also contains useless knowledge?"

"That's not to say that it is completely useless, but it is indeed very unpopular. It can be said that 99% of people will never use it in their lifetime."

"Can you give me an example? I can't understand what you're saying."

"Let me think about it...ah, for example, the word "buoy" that floats to the surface of the water is said to be 'rush, risk, and plow' in the Jiachuan dialect; the word 'hatch' to hatch chickens is said to be 'hug' in the dialect; Du Fu,

We would pronounce it 'dup'; 'fat intestine', we would pronounce it 'ileum'."

"Similarly, in the ancient language ****Yu' should be pronounced as 'Pan Yu', 'Afanggong' should actually be 'Oh Pangong', and 'Fenshui' should be 'penshui'."

"What's the meaning?"
