Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 127 The Secret of the Mountain

When Grandpa Lin heard this question, he fell into memories. This was also the reason why the old couple had always lived in the mountains.

It takes a normal person about an hour and a half to walk from here to the foot of the mountain. If you don’t exercise regularly, it may take two hours.

Xishui Town is developing tourism, but only the outer part of the mountain is developed, which is normally an hour's journey away. There is no development further inside.

Therefore, there are very few people coming here. Occasionally one or two people pass by, but the temperature difference here is too short to be felt.

Some people even think that it is warmer than outside because the wind is blocked by the surrounding mountains.

The most important thing is that the temperature difference here is obvious only in winter. There is almost no difference between the temperature in summer and outside. The temperature difference between spring and autumn is very small. It is difficult to feel the temperature difference without professional instruments.

The temperature difference is large in winter, but it is cold in winter, so very few people go up the mountain, so the temperature here has not been discovered until now.

As for why Grandpa Lin and his men did not report it to the government, Lin Qingyan thought that maybe everyone wanted to protect their own interests.

Grandpa Lin and his family didn't want to go down the mountain. If they reported the situation to the government, they would have to move away and would no longer be able to live here.

There are many mountains here. The deeper you go, the more undeveloped areas there are. It is not surprising to see some magical stories.

"My family has lived here for generations, and I have been here since I can remember.

When I was young, there were several families living in the mountains. The mountains were quite large, and the families did not live close to each other, at least a few hundred meters apart.

I heard from my elders that those families moved here during the war, and they may have some secrets.

They don't usually interact with us, so no one noticed the abnormal temperature in this area.

Your grandmother's family was one of them, but something happened to her family later, and there was no one else.

After liberation, those families left the mountain without hesitation, but I was the only son in my family, so I inherited the family business and have stayed in the mountain ever since.”

Grandpa Lin paused, and then continued: "My family has lived in the mountains for generations, just to keep a secret."

Grandma Lin pulled Grandpa Lin's sleeve, and Grandpa Lin smiled and comforted her:

"Don't worry, old lady. It's okay. Qingyan is our granddaughter and will be the heir of our family in the future. These things need to be told."

Lin Qingyan felt that this was a big problem, and hurriedly interrupted: "Grandpa, grandma, please don't tell me the secret that has been guarded for generations."

Grandpa Lin opened his mouth to say something, and Lin Qingyan hurriedly said:

"Grandpa, please listen to me. I also have a secret. You should be able to sense that I can't tell you this secret. I am very happy that you can sympathize with me and understand me without asking me about the specific secret."

She paused and continued, "Grandpa, even if you don't tell me, I know there must be a big secret here.

This is not something I should know, let alone something I can know. I may be selfish. I just want to relax and live a relaxed life. I don’t want to carry too many secrets. ”

Elder Lin looked at the serious expression on her face and nodded: "Qingyan girl, you are so young but you are so clear-headed. Some secrets would be a burden if you knew them."

The few of them tacitly ended the topic and focused on what vegetables to grow in the greenhouse.

Lin Qingyan no longer cares about the temperature difference here, but the temperature difference here is actually conducive to the growth of vegetables.

Lin Qingyan helped the old couple to turn over the few acres of land that had been installed with the greenhouse. At around 4 p.m.,

She said to the old couple who were still busy, "Grandpa, grandma, let's stop here for today. There is no rush for these things. One day is not enough. Don't tire yourself out."

Grandpa Lin stood up, looked at the sky, and said to Grandma Lin: "Qingyan is right, let's go back and do it tomorrow."

"Qingyan, come with grandma. Grandma will make dumplings for you." Grandma Lin took Lin Qingyan and went home.

"Grandma, I'll come over tomorrow and you can make dumplings for me for lunch, okay?

It’s getting late today, I have to go back, it will be dark if I am any later.” Lin Qingyan said to her with a smile.

The old lady wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. She clapped her hands.

"You are a little girl, it is not safe for you to go up and down the mountain by yourself, so don't come tomorrow. Your grandfather and I can do it. We are both in charge of farm work."

"Grandma, don't worry. I'm not only strong, but I can also protect myself. You don't have to worry about your safety." The two talked as they walked until they reached the yard.

"Qingyan, sit down for a while. I'll get something right away." Grandma Lin said.

He turned to the old man and said, "Old man, come and help me find something."

Lin Qingyan watched the old couple enter the house without thinking too much and turned into the kitchen.

He added some space water to the water tank and drank some himself before leaving the kitchen and sitting down in the yard.

Now I will be quiet and appreciate the scenery outside. The mountains are very quiet. Except for the sound of the wind outside, I can occasionally hear some birds singing. Breathing the air in the mountains, I suddenly have a feeling that time is peaceful.

At this time, Grandma Lin and Grandpa Lin came out. Grandma Lin was holding a cloth bag in her hand. She walked to Lin Qingyan and sat down, putting the things on the table.

Lin Qingyan followed her line of sight, glanced at her, then raised her eyes to look at her.

Grandma Lin opened the cloth layer by layer until the golden light inside was revealed.

"Grandma, what are you doing?"

"Qingyan girl, this is for you. Since I recognized you as my granddaughter, I have always wanted to give you a gift. I just don't know what young children like nowadays.

I've discussed this with your grandfather, and I'm going to give it to you directly. You can use it to exchange for anything you want."

Grandma Lin opened the cloth completely, revealing a rectangular gold nugget inside.

This frightened Lin Qingyan. She had seen gold before. Her mother once had a gold bracelet.

In special times, people didn’t dare to wear it and hid it secretly. She had seen it once.

The piece in front of her was obviously much bigger. Grandpa Lin looked at her stupidly and said nothing.

I smiled and said to her, "Your grandmother and I don't have anything else. This is a family heirloom. We have never used it and we may not need it in the future, so I'll give it to you."

His words woke Lin Qingyan up, and she quickly refused:

"Grandpa and grandma, I can't have this. You can keep it and exchange it for something when you need it."

Old Master Lin interrupted her with a smile, "Qingyan, listen to what Grandpa has to say. Your grandmother and I have no other relatives. It's just the two of us.

If I hadn't met you, I might be the only one left now. Since I met you, my life has become more comfortable.

You sent us vegetables, rice, flour and meat, all of which cost money to buy. This time you even spent a lot of money to install a greenhouse for us. Grandpa knows all of this."

"Grandpa, it's not like that. I have selfish motives for installing the greenhouse." Lin Qingyan quickly explained.
