Chapter 3 Leaving Home
"Die'er, Jian'er, these are the clothes, shoes and socks that my mother sewed for you. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info when you go out, remember to add clothes when it's cold...... This is the dry food that my mother prepared for you, including jerky, and cakes, oh, this is the preserved fruit pickled by my mother's own hands. Once you go out, you can't eat anymore......" The village chief's wife held the burden in her hand, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Mother, you are ......" Sima Die's head was full of black lines. In the past, every time the eldest brother left home, her mother would sing such a play. She also stood by and watched her eldest brother's jokes every time. I didn't expect it to be a cycle of heavenly principles, and the retribution was unpleasant, and this stubble finally fell on me today. Looking at the bulging baggage stuffed in her mother's hands and the dozen or so cages under her feet, she felt that she was about to collapse: compared to her brother, it was nothing more than a trivial!-"Mother, there are so many things, how can you move out of the two of you, me and my brother?"
"Poof!" Sima Jian looked at his sister's miserable expression, and couldn't help laughing. Sima Die suddenly slammed the knife in the eye.
"Uh...... Uh, yes, Ah Ling. Sister, I just saw Ah Ling coming to see you off. Where did this little girl go, I'll look for it......" In front of his father and mother, how dare Sima Jian confront his sister? Taking advantage of the fact that Sima Die was about to go crazy and not mad, he hurriedly excused himself and tried to change the topic. A pair of eyes are also looking around, searching around for Ah Ling's small figure.
At this look, sure enough, I saw that outside the crowd, under a big tree in the distance, a thin child was half-hiding behind the tree, his face was full of entanglement, as if he wanted to come, but he didn't dare.
"Sister. Sima Jian called softly, and pouted slightly in that direction.
Sima Die followed his brother's gesture. At that end, Ah Ling saw her looking, and quickly hid her hands behind her with a "whoosh".
"Ah Ling, what are you hiding?" Sima Die turned and walked towards Ah Ling. Behind him, Sima Jian stepped forward very obediently, and in a few words, he instantly attracted all the firepower of the village chief's wife.
Ah Ling looked at Sima Die reluctantly, and smiled embarrassedly on her face. Knowing that Ah Die's departure was a foregone conclusion, she was depressed for a few days, and finally ran to the mountains on this day and picked a bag of mountain fruits, which was considered to be practiced for her friends. But seeing the mountain of shots from the village chief's wife, it was not only useless to take out this little thing, but it was a burden for Ah Die. So she secretly hid herself. Seeing that it was discovered, he hurriedly tried to hide a bag of fruits.
Sima Die walked up to Ah Ling and reached out to take out a small cloth bag from behind her back. When I opened it, I saw that the red was delicate and the green was verdant, all of which were freshly picked wild fruits. Looking at these fruits, the scenes of the two of them playing and frolicking all over the mountains in the past have come to life again.
"Ah Ling. Thank you. Sima Die smiled slightly and stuffed the cloth bag into his arms. Then he took Ah Ling's little hand and told him with a serious expression: "I'm leaving." But even if I leave, don't be afraid, if they bully you, you must remember to beat you back. You have scared them, so that they dare not trouble you. You know what?"
"I'm not afraid. Ah Ling shook her head firmly. didn't hold back his mouth, and two bright tears dripped down his tender face. She quickly wiped off the back of her hand, kept her little face and didn't cry, and said strongly: "Ah Die, don't worry, in two years, when I grow up a little more, I will go out to find you." I'll definitely go to you. ”
"Hmm. Sima Die nodded vigorously. At this moment, the smile is like a flower.
……
This small, secluded village is nestled in a secluded valley that is not accessible by cars. If you want to leave, you have to go over the mountains and walk a long, long way. However, Sima Die and the others are all children who have been used to being wild in the mountains since childhood, and the mountain roads are not too difficult for them. It's just that I followed my brother and carried a lot of heavy luggage, and I walked for two days before I came to the official road outside.
When you get to this official road, it's not like you're out of the mountains. Because this official road is still halfway up the mountain. It's just that pedestrians come and go, peddlers and pawns, and there is finally a flat road to go. Sima Die didn't know that this road was actually made by the iron hooves of those armies who were fighting in the south and in the north.
Where did the road come from in the mountains? It is nothing more than that this force has been attacked today, and a new force will be attacked tomorrow. This battle has been fought a lot, and there is naturally a way...... In this land, there have been countless wars and changes of power. Most of these forces are just a flash in the pan.
"Sister, I'm tired. Don't worry, there is a tea shed not far in front of us where we can rest. ”
"Brother, I'm not tired. It's you, you're tired. Sima Die raised his eyes and looked at his brother. Along the way, the eldest brother took on most of the luggage, and only carried two lighter burdens on his body. But what impressed her was that even though there was so much luggage that even the eldest brother's figure was almost completely obscured, the eldest brother walked all the way, and even her younger sister, who was not much of a burden, had to use all her strength to keep up.
The tea shed Sima Jian mentioned was actually just a shed built by woodcutters in the past to protect from the wind and rain. Sima Die didn't expect that when they arrived, there were already people there: a few horses were tied to the trees next to the tea shed, and there were three or four men crowded on the few stones in the shed for people to sit and rest. Seeing these people, Sima Die subconsciously lowered his head and quietly shrank behind his eldest brother's back. She knew what she looked like. If these people have bad intentions, their brother and sister may not be able to get along in this wilderness.
"Brother Sima, you can be regarded as coming out. It's a day and a night late. Hey, there's a little girl here...... Who is this girl?"
"Haha. Sima Jian smiled: "Ah Qiang, Dazhu, Dahuang, Dalin." I've kept you waiting. This time there was a slight delay. No wonder, no wonder. Sima Jian didn't expect to bring his sister out this time. In order to take care of his sister, he has slowed down a lot.
Sima Die listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but poke his head out again curiously. I didn't expect these people to know the eldest brother and be called brothers. As soon as she thought about it, she realized that these people had made a prior appointment to meet their brother and sister here.
"This is my sister-in-law, named Sima Die. I took her out to see the world this time. Come, sister, and meet your brothers. They are all brothers of your brother from birth to death. If there is anything short in the future, just ask them for it. You don't have to give me face!"
"Okay, you Sima Jian, with such a peugeot girl, you don't show your mouth at all. You've hidden it deep enough!"
"Hahaha. It's ......"
In the laughter of several people, Sima Die was also infected, and couldn't help but smile, and suddenly it was like a spring flower. A few rugged men couldn't help but look straight at once. Straight said: "Brother Sima, your sister is really a sinking fish and a goose, and she is ashamed of the moon and flowers." These men are all coarse people, I don't know where I heard the words "sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers", and knew that they were to describe the girl's beauty, so they used them here.
"Hello brothers. Hearing the praise, Sima Dieqiao blushed and buried her head and didn't dare to raise it.
As Sima Die expected, these men really came here to greet Sima Jian. Fortunately, as soon as they walked south and north, they were always accustomed to preparing more horses wherever they went.
Sima Die grew up in the valley, but he couldn't ride a horse. Therefore, the few people continued to stay in this shack for a while, resting and teaching her some common sense. For example, how to drive a horse to walk, how to control the horse to stop, etc. Anyway, the minimum requirement is that she can sit down right away. As for the subsections of getting on and off the horse, when the time comes, there is no need to rush it with her brother's help.
Sima Die is already smart. However, in half a day, you can ride a horse alone, or walk or stop, and it looks decent. Several of Sima Jian's brothers praised him repeatedly, saying that Ah Die's sister was really smart, and she was better and faster than she learned to ride in that formation...... In short, I don't know how Ah Die's sister felt when she heard this, but after Brother Sima heard it, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times irregularly: A few people gave Ah Die a ride, and it was originally the most docile and satisfactory horse among the horses. She sat on it, and she didn't even need to maneuver it, and the horse would be able to take her around properly.
"Big brother, I can do it. The horse strolled leisurely to Sima Jian. Sima Die pulled the reins of the horse in a decent way, and sure enough, he stopped immediately. Her eyes were sparkling, and she was thrilled to be able to ride a horse.
"Hmm. Sima Jian smiled and nodded. Look at the sky, if you don't set off again, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the nearest town in the evening. What's more, at the level of my own sister, the itinerary is fast, but it can't be fast. "Alright, let's hit the road. ”
When Sima Die was learning to ride, several men had already packed their luggage on several horses. At this time, as soon as Sima Jian said to go on the road, he could go on the road immediately.
"Wait. Sima Jian remembered something, turned around and walked to the luggage, and took out a lilac silk scarf from his baggage. This was a gift he brought to his sister when he returned to his hometown, and he was naturally packed into his luggage by his mother before leaving. "Sister, the road is dusty, you should wear a silk scarf, so as not to hurt your face. ”
Sima Jian thought that the color of his sister didn't matter if she was placed in the village, but it was very easy to cause a lot of unnecessary trouble outside. Although it is still deep in the mountains, when you get to the place where there are many people in front of you, I am afraid that buzzing flies will come to the door.
Sima Die was so smart that he instantly understood the unspoken meaning of his brother's words. She reached out and took the silk scarf and tied it to her face. "Thank you, brother. I saved it. ”
"Let's go. ”
"Let's go...... Sister Ah Die followed. ”
