July is also known as the Moon of Rest in Arashikoku, which means to escape the heat and rest because it is really hot during this month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

On this day, the scorching sun of the afternoon shone all over the place, the leaves of the grass and trees were all wilting, the streets of Lin'an Town were empty, even the most annoying little yellow dog of Uncle Sixi's house was no longer moving, it was lying listlessly in the shade of the tree, half-asleep from time to time to barely open the closed dog eyes, all trapped like this, it seemed that she still did not want to miss any opportunity to make trouble, no wonder the grandmother of the Yang family said that it was the reincarnation of the disgusting ghost.

The little yellow dog's persistence and so on came to the reward, when he heard the footsteps, he immediately came to the spirit, the eyes that could not be opened a moment suddenly glared round and flashed with excitement, and the drooping ears were also erected, but when he saw the two children who came over, he immediately let out a wail of submission from his mouth, and fled with his tail between his legs.

The two children looked like they were thirteen or fourteen years old, one was burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes with a bit of domineering, the other was weak and delicate, always with a kind smile on his face, the two were dressed in shabby clothes, and each carried a large package behind them, as if they couldn't feel the hot sun, and they walked quickly with excitement.

Out of the town, not far from a dense woods, seven or eight children are laughing and playing in the shade, the bustle here and the silence of the town are in stark contrast, it can be seen that the companion child is more energetic than the puppy, and it can be said that it is more annoying than the puppy.

The children saw the two children with the packages on their backs approaching and opened their mouths.

"Xunyi, it's so hot to send things to people, wait for the sun to set. ”

The weak boy replied, "I have to send it to Ping'an City, the road is not close, and I am in a hurry to use it, so I can't delay it." ”

Another child said, "Then you don't want to hunt ghosts?" Linde said that the immortal master is coming today, and we are all waiting for the immortal master. ”

The child named Xun Yi said helplessly: "Steward Lin takes care of the two of us on weekdays, and we can't help but take this anxious errand today, and besides, Steward Lin has also added a reward." ”

A gorgeously dressed child looked smug and said: "Xiyang, why don't I tell the housekeeper and let you send it after watching the ghost hunt, it's a big deal to let him send someone else, I will give you the reward, this little money is not worth anything." ”

The burly kid named Xiyang snorted coldly and said, "Linde, our brothers rely on their strength to eat, and it is not your turn to reward you." ”

Lin De's face was not arrogant, and he said quite aggrievedly: "What are you talking about, I kindly want you to see ghost hunting, I really don't know the hearts of good people, don't you say it?"

Xun Yi smiled and didn't say anything.

Xiyang pointed to Lin De's nose and said: "Don't be my uncle, you have to dare to bully Shui Dou and his younger brother again, see how I clean you up! Master Lin is kind-hearted and can't attract ghosts, I think your ghost was recruited by you, if you don't die, we will have the opportunity to see ghosts in the future, and we don't care less about this time." After he finished speaking, he pulled Xun Yi and left with high spirits.

On the way, neither of them mentioned ghost hunting, and the more they talked about this kind of fun thing, the more itchy it became, so it was better not to mention it at all.

By the time they climbed a hill, the two children were already sweating profusely, and their little faces were flushed with sun.

The trail was not steep, but the package he was carrying was obviously too heavy for the two of them. Halfway up the mountain, Xiyang can still hold on, but Xunyi can't bear it.

"Rest for a while, this broken mountain doesn't even have a shade tree. Xiyang gently placed the package on the grass on the side of the road, and then helped Xunyi unload the package on his body.

The two of them sat on the grass panting, and both took the gourd containing water from their waists and drank a few sips.

Xiyang asked expectantly: "How much reward do you say the Li Mansion can give us?"

Xun Yi looked at the two large packages and smiled happily: "On such a hot day, it shouldn't be too little." ”

"I think so, after taking the money, I will give you the side medicine first. ”

Xun Yi was a little impatient, and said: "I think it's better to forget it, the medicine prescribed by Old Man Ma has also taken a lot, and it is useless at all, but it is just an occasional headache, and it is not a serious illness, just endure it, don't spend that unjust money." ”

Xiyang glared and said: "It's easy to say, what forbearance is over, when you are sick, you are so scary, I am scared when I look at it, I must be cured, so let's get a reward in Li Mansion Let's find a doctor in Ping'an City, the money may be able to." As he spoke, he took out a small string of money from his bosom and counted it, in fact, the two of them didn't need to count their belongings at all, and they both knew it very well in their hearts.

Xiyang squinted at his partner who was counting the money with his head down, as if he was too lazy to argue, turned his head to look into the distance, and his eyes gradually became dazed.

Xiyang is an orphan in Xiling Village, but no one knows Xunyi's background, he was picked up by Xiyang from the forest. Six years ago, eight-year-old Xiao Xiyang went to the woods at the edge of the village to collect firewood, and saw this strange child of the same age sitting on a stone in a daze, and asked him if he remembered anything.

The people in the village began to think that this was a stupid child who was lost in a nearby village or town, but soon found that the child was not only not sane, but also able to read and write, but for some reason he lost his previous memory.

Xiao Xiyang was happy because he was finally not the only orphan in the village, and this joy did not diminish with the passage of time, but became stronger and stronger. An orphan is pitiful, but two orphans with similar interests can be happier than other children together, which he never dreamed of.

Previously, although he was still young, although he had many friends, and although the people in the village took good care of him, his young heart could still feel the desolation of being an orphan from time to time, especially when he saw his friends coquettish in front of his parents. Now it's different, this new kid can play with him from morning to night, don't worry about the other party being called by the family to eat when he is playing, and there is no worry about being spanked by adults, you can play out of the circle, for example, other children dare not enter the deep mountains, they dare to enter, it doesn't matter how late they come back, anyway, the two of them eat 100 meals and sleep in 100 beds, whether it is over the wall to enter the good-natured Grandpa Lu's house or Grandpa Lin's house, they will not be scolded, this alone makes the rest of the children jealous and crazy.

Because the other party was picked up by himself, Xiao Xiyang has the demeanor of a brother, if he takes out three bird eggs, he must give him two, eat one by himself, and fight with other children, no matter how bad the other party is, Xiao Xiyang will definitely stand in front of him to block the fist for his brother, and his brother is also righteous enough, whether he encounters danger in the mountains or is invincible in a fight, he has never escaped alone.

The two have never quarreled, the only thing that makes Xiao Xiyang a little depressed is when he just picked him up, since the other party doesn't remember his name, Xiao Xiyang feels that he has the responsibility to give the other party a name, the name "Xi Eryang" is the first thing he thought of, most of those siblings in the village are named like this, but this child doesn't like it, he even proposed that he can change his name to "Xi Dayang", the child still doesn't want "Xi Eryang" This name, this made Xiao Xiyang difficult, after all, he was only eight years old, and he was illiterate, racking his brains to imitate the names of the children in the village and put forward a few names that he thought were good, but the child was not satisfied, and in desperation, he had to ask for help from Grandpa Lu, the only literate person in the village, and his own name was given by this old man.

When the old man knew what he meant, he only groaned and said, since he was sitting on a stone when you met him, let's call him "Shisheng". Xiao Xiyang's admired five-body threw himself to the ground, and ran back with a cigarette like a baby, but before he could say this beautiful and meaningful name, the child spoke first: I will call it Xun Yi in the future, easy Yi, the same sound as the memory of memory, and take the meaning of chasing past memories.

Xiao Xiyang was stunned by the other party's knowledge at that time, he was illiterate and didn't understand what the other party was talking about, but his natural cleverness made him quickly realize that his previous idea that a pronunciation only corresponds to one word was mostly wrong, in order not to let the other party see his ignorance, he blinked and asked, then why don't you just use the memory of memory. The child pouted and said, "That's too straightforward." Xiao Xiyang didn't understand what was wrong with being straightforward, although he was stunned again, he still felt that Grandpa Lu's knowledge must be much higher than this child, and he said the name "Shisheng" with the idea of saving face, but what made him depressed was that this child not only did not show the surprised look he expected, but pouted again, and was a little disdainful. Looking at him like that, Xiao Xiyang's heart was empty, and he felt that it was useless to rely on cleverness in the competition of knowledge, so he ran to find Grandpa Lu without saying a word, and the old man showed surprise after listening to the story, nodded and said, I don't want this son to come from a scholarly family, so let's call him to find Yi in the future.

The depression brought by the name turmoil to Xiao Xiyang quickly passed, and then turned into joy, since he was a child, he was influenced by the simple folk customs and adhered to the ancient family road and warm-heartedness, he was really happy that this child could have such a great ability, after all, there is only Grandpa Lu in the whole village who can read and break words, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a big ability.

Xiao Xiyang has been bold since he was a child, and this newcomer Xiao Xunyi is not small, so that the two children who lack discipline get together and often do things that make the villagers worry and worry, but fortunately, the two children are sensible, even when they are crazy, they also know that when they come back, they will hold some dry firewood and pick some mushrooms, and rarely go to other people's houses to eat empty-handed. When they are older, they even help the east family run errands for the west family, so everyone loves them very much.

In the blink of an eye, the two children reached the age of twelve or thirteen, and it was impossible to play all day at this age, but the two children who played wild had little interest in farming.

How can a child at this age know what sorrow is, earn a few small money to buy some snacks and be satisfied, happy all day long, the only thing that makes Xiao Xiyang feel worried is Xiao Xunyi's headache, this illness is not often committed, but every time he is sick, it is very scary, not only the pain of death, but also accompanied by a period of loss of consciousness after the pain, three years ago when he was playing in the mountains to catch up with the disease, after the pain, he walked towards the cliff with straight eyes, if it wasn't for Xiao Xiyang to pull him in time, he must have fallen to death, when he first came to the town, he was sick again, and he was almost hit by a carriage when he was distracted。

Uncle Erzhuang invited Dr. Ma to diagnose and treat him, and took medicine for a while, Xiao Xunyi was embarrassed to always let Uncle Erzhuang break the bill, and only said that he would no longer grab medicine when he was sick, but two days ago, this disease was committed again, and Xiao Xiyang also felt that it was inappropriate to let Uncle Erzhuang spend money on medicine, and then began to save money, which led to Fang Cai's words.

At this time, the two of them had almost rested, and the package on their backs climbed up the mountain again. Little did they know that after crossing this mountain, the fate of the two would be completely changed.
