There is a primary school in Mazui Village, when Lu Shanmin used to go to school, a school could make up a class of students in each grade, but with more and more people going out, now there are only thirty or forty people left in the whole school plus the teachers.

The night in the mountains was unusually quiet, only the breeze accompanied by the chirping of insects, the colors were very monotonous, only the bright moon and stars, and other than that, there was only endless dead silence and darkness. Lu Shanmin climbed onto the roof and looked at a mud house on the side of the hill not far away by the moonlight, which was Bai Fugui's home and Bai Ling's home.

Bai Ling is the most beautiful girl in Mazui Village, Lu Shanmin and she are neighbors and elementary school classmates, the two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, at that time, the two went to school together every day, and when it rained, there was a stream that could not be crossed, Lu Shanmin carried her through together, in school, if there was any naughty egg who did not open his eyes and dared to bully Bai Ling, he would definitely be beaten and rolled all over the ground by Lu Shanmin. Later, the white carpenter could take less and less work, and he was not good at hunting, so it was rare for the family to eat a meal of meat. Every once in a while, Lu Shanmin quietly took out some meat from his home and sent it to Bai Ling's family. I was bumped into by the old god stick several times, and the old god stick would tease a few words every time, 'Send meat to your little daughter-in-law again, it's useless, and it can't be raised'. Every time he heard the old god stick talking nonsense, Lu Shanmin was angry, and everything that he could reach out to get was frantically greeted to the old god stick when he grabbed it in his hand.

After graduating from primary school, Lu Shanmin did not continue to go to junior high school, because at that time, Lu Shanmin's illness was so sick that he received Lao Huang's perverted treatment every day, Mazui Village was still dozens of miles away from the town, and it was all mountain roads, and he had to live in the school to study in junior high school in the town, so he could not receive Lao Huang's 'rolling noodles and dumplings' therapy every day.

That night, also on this roof, Bai Ling sat next to him, and the whole person cried like a tearful person, and his tearful eyes were the most beautiful scenery in the world, but they pierced Lu Shanmin's heartache.

Bai Ling wanted to continue to go to junior high school, but Bai Fugui didn't have much carpenter work to do at that time, and the family was so poor that there was no money left for her to go to school. What's more, the thinking of the people in the mountains is still relatively backward, in the eyes of Bai Fugui, raising a daughter is just to earn a few bride price, spending money to let Bai Ling study is a loss-making business, and the two of them decided not to let Bai Ling continue to go to junior high school.

Lu Shanmin wiped Bai Ling's tears with his hand, and suddenly a heroic cloud rose in his chest, "I'll go to the mountains to hunt pheasants and bear blind people, and I'll provide you with school." ”

Bai Ling hummed softly, with a bright smile on her face, from childhood to adulthood, she had an inexplicable trust in Lu Shanmin, because Lu Shanmin had never broken his promise to do so.

Seeing Bai Ling burst into tears and laughed, Lu Shanmin also laughed happily, it was that day that Lu Shanmin felt that he was no longer a boy, but a man who stood up to the sky.

Later, Bai Ling successfully went to junior high school, and at that time, every weekend, Lu Shanmin would walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to the town to pick her up. In the past, Bai Ling liked to sit next to Lu Shanmin and tilt his head to listen to him quietly talk about hunting in the mountains. I don't know when it started, Bai Ling no longer likes to listen to the story of pheasants and wild roe deer in the mountains, and slowly becomes Lu Shanmin watching her quietly, listening to her talk about things in school, listening to her tell which skirt is beautiful and which pair of shoes are beautiful in the town, Lu Shanmin silently remembered it in his heart, and then took the big black head and rushed into the mountains, hunting frantically, and then handed it over to Uncle Chen, who was responsible for collecting prey at the head of the village, to sell it in the town. Bai Ling is right, that skirt is really good-looking, Bai Ling wears it on her body, and she is more beautiful than the fairy in the sky.

Later, Bai Ling went to high school in the county, only the winter and summer vacations will come back, the two will communicate a letter every week, from Bai Ling's letter, Lu Shanmin only knew how big the world outside the mountain is, most of the houses in the county town are as high as six or seven stories of houses in the village, and there are twenty or thirty stories high, the road is full of four-wheeled cars, and the place where things are sold is not called a commissary, it is called a shopping mall, a shopping mall is more than ten times larger than the basketball court in front of the village committee, and the things inside are so expensive that they are tongue-in-cheek, a good handbag costs thousands of yuan a piece, and there is a special place for people to drink, called a bar, the wine red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all colors.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon finally came to the winter vacation, when he saw Bai Ling for the first time, Lu Shanmin couldn't believe his eyes, Bai Ling became beautiful again, his skin was a lot whiter, the upper body was red down jacket, the lower body was skinny jeans, and the feet were snow-white sneakers, Lu Shanmin thought to himself, the stars in the movie are probably like this. After thinking about a thousand words, when he saw people, he couldn't say a word, Lu Shanmin picked up Bai Ling's luggage, and walked forward with a smile, all the way Bai Ling was talking alone, talking about how good it was in the city, Lu Shanmin felt for the first time that Bai Ling was becoming more and more strange.

Later, Bai Ling did not come back during the summer vacation at the end of his first year of high school, saying that his English grades could not keep up, and he planned to take advantage of two months to do odd jobs to buy something called a repeater, Lu Shanmin didn't know what a repeater was, but he heard Bai Ling say that it was something that had only appeared in recent years, and one cost seven or eight hundred yuan. Lu Shanmin didn't think deeply about why this thing was so expensive, it was enough for a family in Mazui Village to spend a year, he only knew that it was what Bai Ling wanted, so he should buy it for her.

What is the most valuable thing in the mountains, undoubtedly the paws of the blind bear, according to Lao Huang said that in addition to the big size of the bear paws, in fact, there is not much difference from the soles of chickens, ducks and geese, Lu Shanmin does not understand why people outside the mountains are so fond of bear paws, it can only be attributed to the scarcity of things, Lu Shanmin has only followed the big black head into the mountains once to beat the bear blind man, but the big black head has left Mazui Village to be a soldier.

Lu Shanmin did not hesitate, carried a shotgun, took a hunting knife and took Xiao Huang into the mountain.

In the past, there was a big black head in front of him, and Lu Shanmin never felt afraid. When facing an angry big black bear alone, Lu Shanmin felt fear for the first time. But he didn't retreat, and roared wildly at the big black bear to suppress the fear in his heart.

When the news spread that Lu Shanmin carried back an adult bear blind man back to the village alone, the people in the village were surprised, Mazui Village has been a hunter for generations, it is a big black bear, but it is not a wild roe deer, there are not a few experienced old hunters hunting, hunting alone is tantamount to death. They didn't know that Lu Shanmin had just carried the blind bear of several hundred catties home and fainted, his chest and back were full of bloody grooves left by the bear's paws, and he was in a coma for three days and three nights under Lao Huang's treatment before he woke up.

The sound of rustling came from the roof, interrupting Lu Shanmin's thoughts.

The pigtailed girl sat next to Lu Shanmin and looked at Lu Shanmin's gaze, "Are you still thinking about her?" Grandpa Lu often said that reading can be reasonable, maybe she will understand the truth after going to college for four years, and maybe she will come back after figuring it out at that time." ”

The motherless child is in charge early, following the old god stick for many years, laundry, cooking, cleaning, people in the village come and go, inside and outside are her alone, not so much the old god stick to raise her, but to say that she raises the old god stick, although only fourteen years old, but everywhere he talks like a little adult, and he also knows to change tricks to say something to comfort people. The people in the village don't know who wants to come back once they get out of the village.

Lu Shanmin affectionately touched the head of the pigtailed girl, "Xiao Nizi, some truths are in my heart, and it has little to do with whether I have read a book or not, and how many books I have read." ”

The pigtailed girl named Liu Ni looked at Lu Shanmin in surprise, stretched out her hand and touched Lu Shanmin's forehead, frowned and said, "You don't have a fever, why is the tone of your voice more and more like Grandpa Lu, it wasn't like this before." ”

Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment, and recalled what he just said, as if it was really a bit like his grandfather's tone.

Lu Shanmin smiled: "You are about to go to junior high school, and you are about to become a big girl, next time I will accompany you to the town to buy two beautiful clothes." ”

The pigtailed girl's face was a little red, but fortunately it was at night, so I couldn't see it.

"Brother Shanmin, I've thought about it, I'm really not ready to go to junior high school. ”

Lu Shanmin frowned, "Now that I am in junior high school, I don't have to pay tuition, if you lack living expenses, I will make up for you." ”

The pigtailed girl raised her arm and knocked Lu Shanmin's head hard, "If you really remember to eat or not, you are not afraid that I will be the second white-eyed wolf." ”

Lu Shanmin touched his head and showed a wry smile, "I know you're worried that you'll be left alone after you leave, but you can rest assured, maybe I will walk out of this village before you." ”

The pigtailed girl turned her head abruptly and widened her eyes: "You want to leave the village?"

Lu Shanmin nodded, and shook his head again, "I just have this idea."

The pigtailed girl was a little unhappy, she never thought of going out of Mazui Village, there have been fewer and fewer young people in the village in recent years, the big black head has gone, if Lu Shanmin is also gone, no one will care about her anymore.

He pouted, "Your illness hasn't been cured yet?"

Lu Shanmin patted his chest, "I'm the strongest hunter in the village now, do you think I'm sick like this?"

The pigtailed girl lowered her head, except for Lao Huang and Grandpa Lu who said that Lu Shanmin was sick, the people of the whole village didn't believe that Lu Shanmin was sick at all, except for the big black head, Lu Shanmin was already recognized as the most powerful hunter in the village, and there was no trace of sickness on his body.

"Why do you want to go out"?

Lu Shanmin smiled and looked at the round moon in the sky, "I want to go out and see if the outside world is as beautiful as she said." ”
