The east and west rivers flow from north to south, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the town seems to be in the embrace, stable and peaceful for thousands of years, here is the ancestral land of the Gong clan.

If the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the holy rivers of the entire Chinese nation, then the two rivers here, since the establishment of the Gong family here, have been guarding, feeding generations of Gong clan people, the mountains and forests on three sides have witnessed the growth of the Gong clan, guarding the generations of Gong family children, here is the holy land of every Gong clan person.

Since the Gong clan moved out of this place, there are still some people who have guarded here for generations, Gong Yu was sent here for foster care when he was young, and the car just traveled here, and his heart burst out with a long-lost sense of intimacy, the town is not big and two rivers limit the development here, and most of the people here are the descendants of the Gong family, and they do not want to be changed here.

The two got out of the car, and Xiao Nan said to Gong Yu: "I want to go home to see my parents first, where are you going?"

Gong Yu smiled, "It's been a long time since I've been back, I'm going to go around first." ”

"Okay, then I'll go home first, and I'll take you to a reunion with our playmates another day. Xiao Nan dragged his luggage and smiled at Gong Yu.

Gong Yu watched her leave, looking at the surroundings that were still familiar, and thinking about the days of living here, the time here was the most carefree days for herself, the most heartless days.

Walking on the road, the scene of life here flashed in front of me, which is also in the long river of time, I have walked through many places and witnessed many things, and the people and things here are the most relaxed in my heart.

Walking outside a courtyard, looking at the small flowers that covered the walls and the grapevines that climbed out of the wall, Gong Yu pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the courtyard, looking at the old man who was sitting on a rattan chair, shaking a pu fan and napping, Gong Yu walked over and found a bench, and sat quietly next to the old man without saying a word.

After a long time passed like this, the sun changed direction, and the old man groaned, and slowly opened his eyes, and saw the smiling bow feather sitting next to him.

Gong Yu grinned and shouted, "Uncle, you're awake." ”

"Well, Xiao Yu is back. Seeing Gong Yu sitting next to him, Uncle Ci smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Gong Yu touched his stomach, looked at his uncle and said with a smile: "A little." ”

Looking at the appearance of the bow feathers, the uncle slapped the bow head twice with the pu fan in his hand, got up from the rattan chair and rolled up his sleeves, and said, "If you haven't come back for so long, my uncle will make you big buns to eat." ”

Gong Yu followed his uncle into the east house, and the kitchen utensils in the east room were neatly arranged, and it was like this since Gong Yu remembered, and it is still the same now, I don't know how many years it has been used, and my uncle has never changed it.

Uncle pulled his sleeves and noodles, Gong Yu chopped the meat filling on the side, chopped out the meat with a knife, eating is the most flavorful, Gong Yu chopped the meat filling, Uncle also reconciled the noodles, with a large bowl to buckle the noodles, Uncle Gong Yu chopped the meat filling seasoned, after that there was no bow feather thing, Uncle wrapped it alone and put it in the steamer, Gong Yu has been watching from the side, although I have watched it countless times since I was a child, when my uncle did this, it was the most reassuring time for me.

Uncle came out of the east house and walked into the courtyard, sat on the stone table, peeled garlic cloves one by one, Gong Yu also lay on the stone table to watch his uncle peel garlic, Uncle asked while peeling: "Uncle stay here and don't know why you did that, since you did it, you also paid the price for it, then the matter is over, but I still have to say you, no matter how little killing karma." ”

Gong Yu lay on the stone table and turned his head to look at his uncle, and said, "Uncle, I didn't kill those people. ”

"Well, I believe you. Uncle peeled the garlic clove and said: "Born in such a clan, it seems to be strong, every step of the inheritance is like walking on thin ice, which step is wrong, it may cause immeasurable consequences, don't complain in your heart." ”

"Uncle, I never complain about the family, I was born in such a family, I thank the family for bringing me glory, but to shoulder the glory is to shoulder the responsibility, since I can't bear this responsibility, I think I am now the best for the family and myself. Gong Yu picked up the garlic cloves that his uncle had peeled, poured them into the garlic mortar, and pounded them.

The steamed buns were finally steamed, the uncle came out with the steaming buns, Gong Yu couldn't wait to pick up a bun and take a bite, the hot bow feather inhaled, the uncle stroked his beard and laughed on the side, the uncle lit a bag of cigarettes, and watched the bow feather on the garlic paste while sucking, and devoured a basket of steamed buns.

After eating, Gong Yu touched his stomach and hiccuped, and said to his uncle in embarrassment: "I haven't eaten your buns for too long, but my uncle still makes the best buns." ”

Uncle looked at Gong Yu's appearance and said with a smile: "It's delicious, just stay here, if you want to eat, tell your uncle, and your uncle will give it to you." ”

……

The sun went down, and everyone in this town went to bed early, and my uncle arranged for Gong Yu to stay, and he went back to his room, and Gong Yu fell asleep quickly in bed.

The uncle was holding a cigarette pouch in the room, looked at the person sitting opposite him, and said, "Your old fellow is embarrassed to come to me." ”

"Alas, I'm also helpless, Xiao Yuchuang's disaster is really too big, even Tu Sanclan, how can the clans sit still, besides, he's too young and no one knows, to what extent he can go in the future, exterminate the three clans' ruthless and cruel nature, extraordinary strength makes those people feel terrified, I can only save his life first, and then make plans later." The old man sighed and explained.

The uncle said: "Xiao Yu said that he didn't kill anyone. ”

"Who would believe it, the people of the three tribes have all disappeared, the territory has been destroyed, who will believe that they have not killed anyone, and those people have not been killed?" the old man said again.

"Then what are you going to do?" the uncle asked the old man with a sigh.

"After a while, it will be the Gong clan, a great sacrifice once in a thousand years, and the branch clan who has been expelled from the clan will be assessed to re-enter the clan during the big sacrifice, and I will arrange for him to return to the clan, after all, his current situation is too dangerous outside. The old man said.

My uncle took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I'm afraid he may not want to go back." ”

The old man sighed, got up and instructed his uncle, "Let him stay with you first." ”

The uncle sat and watched the old man leave, and after knocking the cigarette pouch on the sole of his shoe and popping out the ashes, he lay down on the bed and rested.

……

Early in the morning, while Gong Yu was still asleep, he heard the sound of the courtyard.

Xiao Nan was so angry that she broke in, and her uncle smiled when he saw her and said, "Nan Nan is here." ”

Seeing his uncle, Xiao Nan was embarrassed to break in directly just now, and said, "Hello uncle, uncle, I'm here to find Gong Yu, is he here?"

Uncle looked back at Gong Yu's room and said, "Xiao Yu is in the room, but it may not be up yet, I'll go and call you." ”

As soon as the uncle finished speaking, Gong Yu came out of the room with sleepy eyes, rubbed his eyes and looked at Xiao Nan, and said, "Why are you here so early?"

Xiao Nan jumped to Gong Yu's side and said, "Aren't you going to get together with your friends, it just so happens that Sanfat is getting married today, everyone will go, let's go early." As he spoke, he pulled his bow feathers.

Bow Feather shouted, "Don't drag me yet, you have to tell me to wash my face." ”

Xiao Nan only noticed at this time that Gong Yu had just gotten up, and his eyes hadn't opened yet, and he was still sleepy-eyed, so he let go.

After Gong Yu finished washing, he told his uncle to go out with Xiao Nan, and his uncle smiled and watched the two go out together with their hands.

Lying on a wicker chair and shaking a fan in his hand, the uncle walked up to his uncle and said, "Uncle, an outsider has sneaked in." ”

"Hmm! Break your leg and throw it out to let them know that this is not the place for them to come. The uncle closed his eyes and commanded the man.

The man heard his uncle's command and left.
