Chapter 1: Marry a Hero
The March sun shone down from the leaves of the centuries-old ginkgo tree at the head of the village, and cast it on the children's little faces with their heads raised and concentrated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There were about seven or eight of these children, the oldest of whom was only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest of whom was probably only three or four years old. At this moment, they were sitting scattered around the kind old man under the tree. The old man had silver hair, and there were more wrinkles on his face than the bark behind him, and they were even deeper. A pair of eyes that have been squeezed so much that they can't see much, but from time to time they reveal a strange look.
āā¦ā¦ Hey. Do you know what the Frost Maiden saw when she got to the glacier? She walked into the valley and saw that all the snow and ice were slowly and slowly beginning to melt with her arrival. In less than a moment, there was a very, very beautiful scene......"
"Grandpa, didn't you say that it melts slowly? Doesn't it take a long time to melt before you can see it? How long does it take to melt in less than a moment?
"Hmm, this one...... This, this, these bastards! Can you still listen to the story properly? I don't think you're in a hurry, then I can't say it for a moment, in fact, it's a long time later! Otherwise, how long will you have to wait to hear that she has gained divine power?"
Erdan scratched his head, thought about it, and showed a silly smirk on his face, and he didn't know if he understood. However, the old man saw that he had fooled this little ghost, but he secretly stuck out his tongue and snickered twice, "hehe". Anyway, there are a lot of wrinkles on his face, and with the eyesight of these little guys, they can't discern his expression with such vivid connotations.
"Snort. Just as the old man was still stealing his pleasure, suddenly, an extremely disdainful and extremely loud sneer sounded behind him. Hearing this laughter, the old man's body stiffened. A girl sitting on the old man's calf suddenly had a bright smile on her face, and she smiled back and said, "Ah Die, you're here." ā
With the girl's call, a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and willow eyebrows stood up from behind the tree. Although they knew that this girl was the daughter of the village chief's family, all the children couldn't help but be stunned when they saw her appearance: this girl was slightly older than them, but she was only fifteen years old. It is the age when the buds are ready to be released. These children don't know what beauty is, but in their young hearts, they also know that Sister Sima is the most beautiful sister in their village. Not only are her clothes always so clean and new, but her face is whiter than a boiled egg and flushed with a flush that makes people look at her uncontrollably and reluctant to turn away.
Sima Die didn't care about the gaze of these little children, she walked behind the old man and stood still, put her hands on her slender waist, a sneer pulled out of her pretty face, her tone was three points of disdain, three points of anger, but with three points of helplessness, and reproached: "Grandpa, your old-fashioned story has been told eight hundred times, from my father to my brother, from my brother to me, and I don't know how to change the soup or the medicine." ā
"Poof. ......Before the old man could say anything, there was a burst of laughter from the group of children like a little mouse stealing rice to eat. In fact, because of this kind of drama, children have long been commonplace. Whenever the elder grandfather was caught by Sister Sima, he would always be beaten down like this.
"You, what do you little girl know, these are not stories......
"Ah, I know, this is when you went out of the village when you were young and listened to what people told you......" Sima Die continued with a smile: "As long as you get the ancient divine power from the depths of the glacier, you can rule the world...... Hum. If it weren't for the fact that no one has been able to dominate the world until now, maybe I would have believed it. ā
The old man puffed out his mouth and glared angrily at his unfilial granddaughter, but he didn't dare to argue. It's not that he's afraid of this stinky girl, but if she can't say it and reaches out to pull his beard, what if it's good?
As long as the children saw the appearance of the elder grandfather, they felt very funny, and they laughed very happily. But the girl who got up to greet Sima Die when she arrived just now stood there, with a blank look on her face: What a bucket of the world, half a bucket of the world, she can't understand. This Ah Die is only two or three years older than her, but she understands many things more than her.
"Ah Ling, let's go. ā
"Ah?...... Oh. ā
Sima Die stretched out her hand and grabbed the girl's wrist, like a beautiful butterfly, floating lightly towards the front. The girl named Ah Ling glanced at her back, shook off the confusion in her heart, and followed behind with a sweet smile on her face.
This world is not a peaceful and prosperous world, just because this village is deserted, but it has not been affected by the war too much. It is already a great happiness for the children to have a bite to eat, to have three or two playmates, and to be able to get together from time to time and listen to the stories told by the elders and grandfathers who have been told 800 times.
Ah Ling is an orphan. In today's world, orphans are not uncommon. I heard the aunt in the village say that she was not actually from this village, and that she was left by an outsider one day. It was thrown under the ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village. It was the elders who were the village chief at the time who picked her up and raised her, and since then, she has grown up slowly under the care of the villagers. As for the name Ah Ling, it was given to her by Sima Die's father, who is now the village chief. Ah Ling felt that her name was much better than Ergou and Erdan.
And when it comes to surnames, in fact, most people in this world do not have surnames. With a name and a surname like the Sima family, it is a big family that needs to be looked up to in the eyes of others. As wars rage, people are displaced, and life is precarious, how many people remember who their parents and grandparents were, and how many people remember who they were?
ā¦ā¦
"Ah Ling, I'm afraid I'm leaving. Sima Die circled around a peach tree and shook the trunk a few times. The petals of the flowers falling from the trees lined her figure, and her clothes fluttered, as if they were flying in the wind. Ah Ling looked at it for a long time, and seemed to understand the meaning of her words:
"Where are you going? I won't let you go. A frightened look appeared on Ah Ling's face, like a puppy that knew that she was about to be abandoned. Ah Die is her playmate since she was a child, and the first person she remembers in her little mind. Although she didn't understand it very well, she also knew that what Adie said was leaving, which probably meant that they would never be able to play together again in the future.
"You stupid girl. Sima Die looked at her, the youthful smile on her face was more beautiful than the peach blossoms behind her: "We have grown up, of course we have to go out to see the outside world." I don't want to live in this remote mountain village for the rest of my life...... By the way, my brother is coming back from outside. This time, I made sure he took me out to see it. ā
The brother Sima Die said was named Sima Jian. In his early years, he left the village alone and went out to wander outside, and it is said that he made a living by doing business abroad. Every time I come back, I will bring a lot of fashionable rouge gouache, jewelry and clothing as gifts for my beloved sister. Sima Die is also extremely dependent on his brother. The relationship between the two siblings is excellent.
"Ah Ling, have you ever thought about who you will marry when you grow up?" Sima Die looked up at the stratus clouds in the sky, and suddenly asked the little girl.
"Marry?" The twelve-year-old girl, of course, already understood what it meant to marry. Ah Ling's little face suddenly turned red, and she muttered, "Ah Die, what are you talking about...... I don't know what to marry. ā
"Don't understand, don't you understand, you're still blushing?" Sima Die couldn't help laughing and teased about this playmate since childhood. In these years, there have been many years of fighting outside, and maybe those who are still alive today will die suddenly tomorrow, so it is common for thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls to become mothers. The more girls from poor families are, the earlier they marry, and orphan girls like Ah Ling are more likely to become child daughters of other people's families early. Thanks to her, she grew up in this isolated village. That's a layer of luck.
"Ah Ling. I've thought about it a long time ago. I, Sima Die, must not live a dull life. If I want to marry someone in the future, I must marry a first-class hero!"
"Big hero?"
"yes, so, I have to get out of this place. I have to choose who I want to marry in the future. ā
In this remote, uninhabited grove, the girl finally spoke out of her mind after thinking about it a thousand times. Listening to her here, there is only an ignorant little girl, and a peach tree with petals falling on its own.
Ah Ling opened a pair of big eyes and looked at her friend in confusion. She didn't understand the expectations and longing in Ah Die's words, and she didn't understand the cute girl's feelings. She only felt that Ah Die at this time was so beautiful and beautiful. More beautiful than ever. Her eyes, shining brightly, seemed to reflect the brightest colors in the sky.
"Ah Die, in the outside world, are there big heroes?"
"That's nature. Sima Die replied proudly: "Haven't you heard? Heroes come out in troubled times, and heroes come out in troubled times." The more war is going on outside, the more heroes will be produced. Whoever can fight and crusade to the end is a real man who stands up to the sky. ā
The girl is pregnant with spring, always trying to find the best man in the world, but she doesn't know that the war is the people's livelihood, and the war and crusade are the accumulation of bones. Fighting fiercely is the most cruel and saddest thing in the world.
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.
