Figures are scattered on the hillside, at the foot of the mountain, their eyes are either confused or painful,

The old man standing on the mountain road turned around, his eyes were clouded, and he looked at the village at the foot of the mountain.

The young man lying on the ground, looking up at the direction of the top of the mountain, stretched out his hand in the direction of the top of the mountain, as if he wanted to catch something, his eyes were painful,

A mother with her child in her arms, standing on the side of the mountain road, turned sideways, hugged the child tightly, protected in her arms, and the child in her arms, with a cloudy gaze, looked at the village below the mountain.

The middle-aged man with his father on his back was lying on the ground, looking at the top of the mountain, with expectation in his eyes, and the father on his back was protecting his child with his hands open.

“...... Huihui, Dad is going to teach you how to ride a bicycle......"

"The village is gone...... Home, too. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I can't hold on anymore, my wife ......."

"It's okay, mom is here, mom is here......"

“...... Mom, did you think Dad would come to our rescue? ”

"It's all right, it's all right...... Run to the top of the hill and you'll be fine......"

“...... Comrades, don't panic......"

One by one, the figures murmured, repeating over and over again.

The roar of the flood had died down, and only the words were mixed and echoed.

......

Listening to the words ringing in his ears with the gust of wind, Lian Ge followed the mountain road on the hillside, looking at the mountain slope, on the mountain road, at the foot of the mountain, this road figure.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak......"

The little mouse on his shoulder also turned his head, looked near and far, and barked twice.

After a slight pause, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the mouse, and then at the figure on the hillside,

Lian Ge moved his steps again, turned around, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

On his side, one after another figures swept past with the sound of words, and gradually faded away behind him.

......

Overhead, the stars and the oblique moon in the night faded away, and the sky became whiter.

The eastern sky is reflected in the morning glow, and the pervasive night is dispelled.

The night was replaced by day, the oblique moon was replaced by the rising sun, the night faded and the sky opened again.

Immediately following the bright sky, under the sky, on the mountain road, on the hillside, a series of dark-eyed figures gradually disappeared beside Lian Ge.

Parents with children, husbands and wives holding each other, young people who fell to the ground, soldiers with broken bones pierced in their legs......

Moving his steps, Lian Ge walked, watched, and listened.

......

“...... Tweeted. ”

The breeze blows through the mountains and forests, swaying the branches and leaves in the forest, bringing some water vapor and some insects and birds.

A few birds rose from the jungle and headed off into the distance.

The morning sun passed over the hills outside the village and shone the sun into the village.

Lian Ge, who was moving along the mountain road, walked down the mountain, and paused again at the foot of the mountain and in front of the village road.

Along the village road, looking into the village, on the village road, there are many figures, carrying hoes, people holding farm tools, walking towards the fields,

In front of some people's homes, the people in the village are either busy with breakfast, or are preparing to go out.

Many people's houses still seem to be rising with faint smoke.

After a slight pause, Lian Ge moved his steps and continued to walk along the village road.

Household by house, in front of and behind the door of each household, one after another voices, also swept by Lian Ge's side.

......

"Lao Chen, go to the field so early?"

"Isn't it raining all the time, I just planted a few loofah seedlings a few days ago, I'm afraid that it will be washed away directly by this rain, I look like I'll make up a few more seedlings for it...... You're having breakfast here, so early. ”

A middle-aged man with a hoe and a few vegetable seedlings in his hand, sitting on the edge of the threshold in the yard next to the road, was eating with a bowl, talking,

“...... Hey, isn't this going out today, going to town, it's just raining, and the road is not easy to walk, so I had breakfast early and left early...... This has just been eaten, Lao Chen, do you want to eat some together. ”

"No, no, I've eaten it too...... Then I'll go first and go to the field. ”

"Okay, you're busy. ”

The middle-aged man with a hoe walked along the village road, passed by Lian Ge's side, and walked towards the field.

The other man, who was eating with a bowl, got up, turned around, and walked into the hall.

“...... Boy, father, come and carry these two bags of millet into the yard and pour them out to dry. ”

In the hall, a woman's voice sounded again, and the man took the bowl, turned his head, and looked at the sky outside the house.

“...... On this day, you don't know when it will rain, wait for two days, and the weather will be sunny again. ”

“...... It's been raining for so long, and it's sunny this day, it's been raining so much for the past few days, and the weather is damp...... Let's take it out to dry first, and if it rains again, I'll just put it away. ”

"Becoming ......"

The man answered, put down the bowl, and together with the middle-aged woman in the house, carried the bag of grain and walked into the yard.

“...... Dad, I'm here to help. ”

A little boy followed, running out of the house, helping to carry a bag on one side.

“...... My son is so sensible and knows how to help his parents. If it rains before my dad comes back in the afternoon, my son remembers to help his mom harvest the grain. ”

With the little boy in hand, the man and his wife carefully put the bag of grain on the ground of the yard, and the woman took a broom and swept the yard, and the man bent down and smiled at his son.

"Good ......"

The little boy nodded emphatically and replied crisply.

......

And he took the sack of grain, and poured it into the yard that was clean, and the woman spread out the grain in the yard with a rake, and the little boy stepped on it with bare feet, and seemed to help.

The man on the side sat on the steps by the hall, wearing rubber shoes, smiling at his wife and children.

“...... Then I'll go to town first. ”

Putting on his shoes, the man stood up and said.

“...... Remember to come back early. The woman nodded in response.

"Daddy, when are you coming back......" The little boy listened to his parents' words, and ran out of the pile of grain barefoot, looked at his father and asked,

"I'll come back when Dad is done, and when you come back, do you want Dad to bring you anything to eat?"

"Rock sugar gourd......" the little boy said crisply,

"Okay, Daddy will bring you ......"

Smiling, the man said, "Then you remember to be at home and listen to your mother." ”

"Good!"

Smiling again and looking at his child, the man turned around and walked out of the yard,

The woman and the little boy in the courtyard looked at the man and did not withdraw their gaze until the man was far away,

The woman continued to spread the grain with the rake, and the little boy ran back to the pile of grain barefoot.

"Mom, I'm here to help you ...... too"

"Good...... However, my baby son went to put on his shoes first......"

Smiling, the woman said to her son,

In the yard, this woman and this little boy were the middle-aged woman and little boy who were in the rain and hurriedly collected the grain.

......

Turning his gaze, he looked at the woman in the yard who was spreading the grain, and the little boy who was struggling to put on his shoes, and then at the man who disappeared from sight along the village road and after stepping out of the village,

Lian Ge retracted his gaze, moved his steps, and continued to walk forward,

One after another, one after another, the figures swept by his side, and then disappeared behind him.
