There are good people and bad people everywhere, but I may be lucky. Most of the people I met in southern Shaanxi are warm and simple people, especially the more remote towns and villages, the purer the folk customs.
I haven't been to many places, but there are always people from southern Shaanxi who touched me. On one occasion, I had a crispy rice at the snack bar in Shuhe Ancient Town, Xunyang, Ankang. The shopkeeper and an elder sister are eating their own porridge. Regardless of my instructions, she enthusiastically offered me a bowl for me to taste, with her own pickled side dishes. I just spent 10 yuan in her shop.
Last year, I went to Shuiquanping in Xunyang for the first time and met a beautiful woman, a rural e-commerce. I stayed at her house for one night. When I left the next morning, she got up early and cooked a big table of rich meals to say goodbye to me.
In Foping, Hanzhong, I ate a vegetarian meal of 10 yuan, and the boss specially made clear soup.
Recently, I was "scared" by the simple enthusiasm of my friends in the mountains. I haven't been with them all day. After returning to Xi, they have been mailing me mountain products. First, they gave me a big bottle of Qinling native honey. Later, fresh bamboo shoots came out and sent me a big bag of peeled and blanched fresh bamboo shoots.
This mountain friend is from Daguping Village, Yueba Town, Foping County, Hanzhong. This place is very remote, about 80 kilometers away from Foping County, and more than 0 kilometers away from Yueba Town 10. There is also a mountain with an altitude of1500m between the town and Foping County. From Foping county bus station, you can only take a bus to Yueba town, and there is no public transportation to the village.
My acquaintance with him was a bit adventurous and dramatic. In a completely strange situation, I brought his motorcycle from town to his house and lived in his house by instinct.
I didn't stay at his house for long. I arrived the night before and left the next afternoon. I didn't really get along for long because there were many activities. First, I surveyed the surrounding terrain on foot, chatted with the villagers, danced a square dance with his mother-in-law, and went up the mountain with him to watch him dig Grifola for a while. ...
When I left, my mother-in-law and a neat and kind aunt gave me a lift-in fact, it was a police car that came to work in Yueba Town. It was the first time in my life that I took a police car and ended up hitchhiking.
Out of gratitude, I gave a little money when I left, because I didn't earn much money from the media, so I didn't give much.
But maybe because of money, these friends in the mountains feel sorry for it. After returning to Xi 'an, I received a big bottle of honey within two days. It is said that the local honey in the Qinling Mountains starts at 50 to 60 yuan a catty, even if the merchants buy it at home. What's more, it is the honey in the mountains in the national nature reserve.
After a while, his wife added me to WeChat. I received a big bag of fresh bamboo shoots from her two days ago.
Facing the kindness of the villagers, I felt a little ashamed and even regretted telling them the address. But I am also very happy to make such friends.
These days, this friend is working in the protection station of the reserve. He sent me photos and videos of the virgin forest and invited me to go again. I think I will definitely go again.
