"What should I do with you?"

After an hour and a half of flight, Qiao Nan and his party landed at Guibei Ziyun Airport.

The destination of their sketching this time is Shitai County under Ziyun City.

Guibei is rich in tourism resources. In recent years, the government has vigorously supported the development of tourism, and the number of tourists it receives every year is quite large.Especially during the peak tourist season like summer vacation.In order to avoid tourists, Lao Li deliberately chose a village in Shitai County that has not been developed much.

Shitai County is located in a remote area with inconvenient transportation. It takes more than three hours to drive there by bus from Ziyun Airport.

After finally bumping to the bus station in Shitai County, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.And it was still half an hour's drive from Shitai County to Fengxi Village where they were going.

In addition to Lao Li who led the team, there were a total of eight students including Qiao Nan.When they first set off, they were still full of anticipation and excitement about the journey.

But after a few hours of turbulence in transit, they are almost like eggplants beaten by Shuang, with their heads drooping and sighing.

Seeing this, Lao Li touched his protruding beer belly and said with a smile: "This is so dull? I can't bear this bit of hardship. What can I do for those who sketch in the mountains and rivers later? I didn't bring you here to enjoy life .”

He grew up in the mountainous area of ​​Guibei when he was a teenager, and he adapted well to such an environment.He went around the station and found two private commercial vehicles. A group of eight people divided into two vehicles and rushed to Fengxi Village.

Fengxi Village is not far from Shitai County. It is rainy in summer and dark at night. There are many mountains in Guibei. The winding road has nine bends and eighteen bends, steep and narrow. The driver drove slowly and it was already past 08:30.

Two cars parked on the side of the concrete road one by one, the driver pointed to the faint lights not far away and said: "It's over there, you just go straight along this road and you will be there."

At this time, it happened to be raining again. The drizzle was not heavy, but for the exhausted students who had been bumping for a long time, it was like adding insult to injury.

The boys helped the girls remove the heavy suitcases from the trunk. The girls walked in front, holding their mobile phones as flashlights, while Lao Li was at the end to prevent anyone from getting lost.

After entering the village, the people who came to greet him finally came late.

Lao Li talked with the other party for a few words in dialect, and then beckoned everyone to follow him.

They settled in a rather old stilted building, four stories high, built on the hillside, and the outline of the building and the flying corners of the building could be vaguely seen in the dim lights.

Behind the eaves, the cascading stilted buildings are embedded in the [-] mountains according to the undulations of the terrain, creating a spectacular scene.

It's just that everyone was exhausted at the moment, and they really didn't have the energy to appreciate these buildings full of age, so they went back to their rooms after receiving the keys.

The girls live on the third floor, while the boys live on the fourth floor. In order to take care of each other, two people share a room.

Lao Li lived on the second floor with the host family who entertained them.

Qiao Nan and Zhao Yutong shared a room and lived in the leftmost room on the fourth floor.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the damp and musty smell that had been covered in dust for a long time hit his face, Zhao Yutong pinched his nose, and said with a dull expression: "I blame me for expecting too much from Lao Li. Lao Li said that the travel expenses, board and lodging are all included this time." At the time, I was still thinking that he must not bleed a lot this time, it really was me who was too naive."

Qiao Nan was also very tired. He touched the damp quilt and said, "It's a good thing I brought bedding, so let's just settle in."

After a lot of tossing and tidying up, the two finally washed up and lay down, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Qiao Nan was so sleepy that he yawned, but remembering that he hadn't reported his brother's safety, he suppressed his sleepiness and made a video call to Pei Xu.

The connection over there was quickly connected, as if waiting for this video in the morning.

"Have you packed up somewhere?"

Qiao Nan yawned, put the phone on the bed, lay on the pillow, and said with a listless expression, "It's packed."

Pei Xu saw that his expression was not right, and asked concerned: "Are you used to it?"

"A little bit." Qiao Nan stretched out his hand to slap a mosquito to death: "It's been raining here, it's too humid, and there are a lot of mosquitoes."

He didn't turn on the light, and Pei Xu could barely tell from the dim background that the environment he was in was not very good, and he couldn't help but frown: "At least half a month to stay, do you want someone to send you something? "

"Forget it, I'm not that delicate." Qiao Nan covered his mouth and yawned again, with tears welling from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing him yawning again and again, although he was worried, Pei Xu suppressed many doubts for the time being, and said in a gentle voice: "If you are sleepy, go to bed first, we will talk about things tomorrow."

"Well, good night then." Qiao Nan said good night to him with a thick nasal voice, put the phone aside to charge, and fell into a deep sleep.

Pei Xu looked at the ending call interface on the laptop, then turned off the screen recording software, and clicked on the video recorded just now.

The teenager in the video is obviously trying to resist sleepiness. Because of frequent yawns, the corners of his eyes are a little red, and his thick eyelashes are wet with tears, and some of them are even stuck together, making them even darker.When she lay on the pillow and looked at him, she was a little coquettish, cute and pitiful.

Pei Xu pressed the pause button, touched the screen lightly with his fingers, gently caressed the upturned face, and said in a helpless tone, "What should I do with you?"

Early the next morning, Lao Li knocked on the doors one by one to wake everyone up. After a hasty breakfast, he went out to collect folk songs.

I have to say that although Lao Li is a little tricky in some aspects, there is really nothing to say about the place he chose.Fengxi Village is located in a remote location and has not yet been developed, retaining the most primitive beauty.Every stone step and every piece of wood retains the traces given by the years.

It is inconvenient to go out on rainy days. The old-fashioned old people wear batik Miao clothes, their gray hair is coiled high on the top of their heads, and they move wooden chairs and sit under the eaves, chatting and doing handicrafts.

The blue sky and the hazy drizzle are the best filters, which give the old people the soft light of time, and every wrinkle on the corners of the eyes and brows seems to tell a story.

Qiao Nan pressed the shutter to record this moment.

Lao Li was not in a hurry to take them into the mountains, and asked them to take a good look at Fengxi Village first.

Fengxi Village is quite a big village. There are still three to four hundred households. It is said that there were even more people in the early years, and there could be thousands of households.After the economic development, many people moved to the county or even the city, so there are only a few people left.

It took them three or four days to explore such a large village, walking around, taking pictures or sketching.

The gains of these three or four days are greater than the gains of staying in school for a month.

Apart from the difficult food and housing conditions, Qiao Nan thinks this is indeed a good place to inspire and create.

He sat casually on a stone pier by the side of the road, with a sketchpad on his lap, looking thoughtfully at the children in navy blue suits frolicking and playing in the distance.

There seemed to be some vague feelings in my heart, but I couldn't say clearly.

Lao Li squatted down next to him with a bucket of instant noodles, glanced at his sketchpad, and asked, "How do you feel these days?"

Qiao Nan said honestly: "A little bit, but I can't tell."

"Then let's see more." Lao Li took a sip of instant noodles, narrowed his eyes and said, "Throughout the ages, so many masters have witnessed and even experienced hardships, so that they can have a blowout of artistic creation. Your current environment is too good to always be here. In the palace, you have to look at the outside world and see the reality before you know what you want to express."

He waved his fork and pointed at Qiao Nan's drawing board: "You are proficient in various genres of painting, and your foundation is already solid. It's time to think about what you want to draw."

Seeing that Qiao Nan was thinking, he stood up, picked up the instant noodles and walked away again.

Qiao Nan looked at the half-painted painting, and was about to put away the drawing board and go back, when he suddenly heard arguing behind him.

He followed the sound and saw Zhao Yutong, Wu Meng, and Qiu Ran were all there, and there was a dark and skinny little girl in front of the three of them.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Nan stepped forward.

Wu Meng pointed at the child and said angrily: "I walked away for 2 minutes, and this child sneaked up to steal my paint, and after I found out, he knocked over all my paint boxes!"

"This is a place where the birds don't shit, and the express delivery doesn't work. My box of paint is specially purchased from someone abroad. I just opened it and she gave it all to me. What should I do with half a month to go? Why don't I go directly Just go back, you shouldn’t have come to this ghostly place back then!”

The child she was pointing at shrank his shoulders, his head hung down, and he didn't make a sound.

Zhao Yutong persuaded: "You can't say that, I was behind at the time, and the kid just leaned over to look at it curiously, but he didn't make it. Obviously you yelled and scared people, and she fell down. Accidentally knocked over the paint box."

"According to what you say, you still blame me?" Wu Meng stared.

Qiu Ran calmed down and said: "Turn it all over, scrape off the dirty top, and the bottom can be used." She asked the child, "Where are your parents?"

Her original intention was to let the child call the parents, and just learn a lesson.

But the child raised his head and said timidly, "I don't have parents, only grandma."

Now even Wu Meng was dumbfounded, her aura was obviously much weaker, and she whispered: "You can't touch people's things without parents' teaching."

Qiao Nan squatted down and checked the overturned paint box: "It can barely be used after processing, I will give you that box, and this one for me. Let's forget about it. Zhao Yutong said she didn't do it on purpose."

Knowing that the child has no parents, Wu Meng didn't hold on anymore, but she was too embarrassed to let Qiao Nan suffer, so she waved her hand and said, "Farewell, I think I'm unlucky."

Qiao Nan shook his head: "It's just a small matter, don't spoil your mood, I'll take care of it here." He gave Zhao Yutong and Qiu Ran a look, signaling them to take Wu Meng away.

Zhao Yutong and Qiu Ran persuaded her one by one, and finally coaxed her away.

Qiao Nan turned the paint boxes over and carefully cleaned them one by one.

The little girl stood beside her, neither moving nor speaking.It stands there like a plant that has lost its moisture and its leaves are yellow and curly.

Qiao Nan glanced at her and asked softly, "You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

The little girl nodded, her fingers twisted together nervously.

"Everyone will make mistakes accidentally, that sister has already forgiven you." Qiao Nan handed her a box of clean yellow paint: "Take it and play with it."

The little girl stared at him fixedly, blinking her black and white eyes a few times, but she didn't pick up the small box of paint, she said "I'm sorry" in a low voice, and ran away.

This unpleasant episode was quickly forgotten by Qiao Nan.

But when he came back from sketching the next afternoon, he found a few red fruits and a garland at the door.The wreath is made of unknown wild flowers, exuding a light fragrance, very beautiful.

He bent down to pick it up, looked left and right, and found a thin figure at the corner of the stairs.

He smiled slowly, put on the wreath, and waved to the child.
