When Li Xiangdong was twenty-four years old, he was confused.
He didn't pass the postgraduate entrance examination, he couldn't find a job, his classmates went to graduate school when they should be studying, and they went to work when they were supposed to. He didn't know where to go. I happened to see the recruitment of college student village officials, so I applied and was assigned to the most remote village in the province - Tinglan Village.
On the first day after entering the village, he fell down at the entrance of the village.
The three children looked at him and smiled. The youngest said, "The mountain won't let you in."
He thought it was a child talking nonsense.
Later he discovered that something was really wrong with this mountain.
The old party secretary only spoke half of his words, the mute Zhang had not spoken for more than 20 years, Mrs. Liu sat at the door and chanted "Mountain dignitaries", and the support teacher Liu Yan stayed for a year and asked him, "Did you hear it?"
He did hear it. At night, far away, there were many people talking. At first I couldn't hear clearly what was said, but then I heard clearly - three words, "Come back."
He didn't know who was calling him or where to go.
The people in the village know everything but say nothing.
There was only that bamboo stick, given by Dumb Zhang, with leaves, fresh. Mrs. Cui stuck it at the door of the courtyard and said, "It's for yourself."
Li Xiangdong didn't know what to do for himself.
All he knew was that the mountain was waiting for him.
Wait until he understands what is being said in the mountains.
An ordinary person, a talking mountain.
The story is very slow, and things come one by one. It's not scary, but after reading it you may also wonder whether you should respond or not when someone calls your name at night.
