In late winter and early spring, the heavens and the earth are cold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is nearly dusk, and the sunset is obliquely shining.

The mountains stretch along the stretch, the shadows of the trees sway, the withered grass dances, the "rustle" sounds, and the birds die out. The vast land is so depressed and mournful, cold and compassionate.

On the top of the mountain, the cold wind howls. A young man sits on a big bluestone, his clothes are encouraging, and he looks at the western sky. The sun is setting, and the blood is dazzling.

He was thin and weak, his face was handsome, slightly yellow, and he seemed to be sick, but he couldn't cover his heroic hair, and he was free and easy. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he looked quite approachable.

Seven feet away from him, three oxen bowed their heads and chewed grass, relishing. Next to it, a newborn little yellow cow crawled on the ground, as if sleeping but not sleeping, opening its eyes from time to time and looking around, which was extremely funny.

Suddenly there was a thunderous sound of fireworks and firecrackers at the foot of the mountain to the east, mixed with the laughter, screams and cries of children...... It came from afar, fluttering and reverberating.

The young man frowned slightly, sighed, and jumped off the boulder. The bulls turned their heads and looked at him.

The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Let's go, go home!" The oxen "moo, moo" a few times, and the calf immediately stood up when they heard it, and staggered towards its mother.

The young man touched the head of a bull with a bell and said, "Xiao Huang, today is the last time I will accompany you." I have to go back to school tomorrow, and I can't be angry at home, or the family will sell you, and I won't be able to see you when I come back! ”

The bull barked twice, rubbing his arm lightly, as if in response!

Every time he came home during the holidays, he had to go up the mountain to see the cows like this, and he regarded them as old friends, and when he was bored, he "talked" with them like this, and even named them one by one.

After the calf was full of milk, the boy jumped on the back of the "little yellow", patted its neck, and said with a smile: "Let's go!" Xiao Huang took a psychic step and walked down the mountain road.

The mountain road is winding, the bells are ringing, the trees on both sides are falling with the wind, and the afterglow is mottled and obliquely illuminated, pulling their shadows for a long time.

That Xiao Huang is the leader, and everyone below follows closely. Only the calf shook his unfamiliar steps, and forcibly followed. I bumped and bumped along the way, and I didn't know how many times I fell, but I was afraid that I would lose it, so I quickly stood up again, exhaling hot air with "poof, poof", and followed aggrieved and strongly.

The young man couldn't help but laugh and said: "I told you to stay at home, but you didn't listen, you had to follow, now you know that you are wrong, you little guy is tired to death." The cold wind blew like a blade, and jumped into his clothes, and his body trembled, and he sneezed heavily, and his face was slightly red.

The calf was relieved, his upper lip turned outward, revealing two stubby white teeth, and he actually smiled at him!

The young man rolled his eyes, smiled, and sang loudly: "Extravagant, secluded, I sing red dust and jealousy." Looking back, in the vast land, Bing Ge asked when he would rest and how many glasses of wine he would give. Yellow clay, full of blood, full of tears.

Last night, the spring breeze was good, and I believe in who will not swerving. People come and go, and they are haggard alone. The years have passed, the mountains and rivers have changed, but this body is dirty, a hundred years of life, come and go with a smile, look at the sky, and ask what is this life? ”

The singing voice is sometimes tactful and soft, sometimes high and majestic, with a touch of emotion, echoing in this empty deep mountain, adding to the loneliness. This song was composed by him when he was in a hurry, doing whatever he wanted, occasionally singing a few words when he was bored, and he was unbridled and noisy.

"Ding-......"

"Moo-moo!"

The young man patted "Xiao Huang" and said with a smile: "It's almost home!" "Turning the corner, I passed through a withered plane tree. I saw a three-storey fire-brick bungalow, unrenovated, but it seemed to be even more beautiful in this isolated mountain.

There is a cluster of green bamboos and a few peach trees planted next to it. The green shadow is speckled, the peach blossoms are full of courtyards, and there is the color of fairyland, the meaning of poetry and painting.

This is his home!

"Why are you only coming back now, the food is almost cold." The voice was slightly angry, and I saw a middle-aged beautiful woman standing at the gate, and said angrily: "Xiao Yu, how many times have I told you, scalpers are not like buffaloes, don't ride on them, what if you fall down!" ”

The young man immediately jumped down, bowed his head and said, "Mom, I know." ”

Cattle are different from buffaloes, which are more docile, while most cattle are irritable and arrogant, and it is difficult for ordinary people to make them mounts if they do not have a deep relationship with them. If you get angry, you will fall down from the cow at the least, or you will be hit and kicked by it, and you will be injured if you don't die.

"Woo ......"

Two dogs, one male and one female, burst out of the room, wagging their tails and barking excitedly. The female is relatively thin and small, with lubricated yellow hair; The male has a strong physique, well-developed limbs, sharp teeth, and a pale red tongue with slight black spots, which makes people feel chilly at first glance.

The male dog suddenly jumped and hung on the boy's body, his warm tongue licking wildly at his face.

"Moo......" The little yellow was very dissatisfied, and cried out angrily, gently holding the young man's arm with his head.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu's mother couldn't help but laugh "hehe" and said: "You're not so close to us, you are not so close to us, you are not there when you are not there and you are all over the mountain, running around, and you are extremely disobedient." Alright, let's eat first. ”

Xiao Yu said "um", put down the male dog, modeled its head, and said with a smile: "Wu Yan, don't mess around like this next time, it's getting heavier and heavier, it's about to knock me down, I'm leaving tomorrow, I'll get you something delicious tonight." ”

"Wu Yan" wagged his tail even more violently, and he was rubbing and jumping under his feet excitedly. The little yellow bell swayed, so angry that he threw his hind legs around, and shouted at "Wu Yan".

Xiao Yu patted Xiao Huang's head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, you also have a share, I'll help you cut a few tufts of grass after eating." Xiao Huang was in a good mood and rubbed his head against his arm.

"Wangwang......" Wu Yan grinned at Xiao Huang's angry bared teeth and shouted at him.

"Moo......" Xiao Huang looked at Wu Yan with big eyes and shouted.

"Woo ......"

"Moo......"

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly and strode into the house. Only "Wu Yan" and "Xiao Huang" were left with wide eyes, stingy and atmospheric.

As soon as Fang stepped into the lobby, he heard a majestic voice scolding: "Stinky boy, I said I would come back early, you came back so late, we are all waiting for you to eat, you have such a big face!" ”

At the head of the table, a middle-aged peasant man sat upright, his body was thin, his proud bones were as tall as pine, and he was not angry and arrogant.

The young man lowered his head, frightened in his heart, stood in place and didn't dare to move, and said, "I'm sorry, Dad!" I ......"

"Ah, what is there to say about the New Year?" Xiao Yu's mother glared at Xiao Yu's father.

Xiao Yu's father poured a glass of liquor diagonally, glanced at Xiaoyu, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, if you don't sit down to eat, do you still have to wait for you?" He raised his glass and drank it all, and poured another glass for himself.

Xiao Yu sat down busily, sandwiched a few dishes, and lowered his head to taste himself.

It was probably the best meal of the year for him. Although his parents always beat and scolded him frequently, he did not have the slightest resentment and anger in his heart, but felt that his parents were considerate and loving.

Xiao Yu's mother gave Xiao Yu a chicken leg and said with a smile: "Eat more, you will go back to school tomorrow, and there will be no such good meals there." ”

Xiao Yu also saluted her, and said with a smile: "Mom, you can also eat more." ”

Xiao Yu's father took a sip of wine and said, "You must not cause trouble in school, you and your brother are the only ones in our village who are studying in the city, how can others have such a good opportunity." Listen to your teachers in school and study hard. In the past, everyone in the village laughed at me for sending you to school and study, but I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of, there is no culture in this era, where will there be a happy life in the future, fight for the family, don't let others look down on us"

took a bite of the dish, sent the liquor, and filled a glass with a slanted glass, and said with a smile: "In this kind of mountain, our village is backward, but which one in the village is not a cement building, beautiful tiles, the family is poor, although it can barely afford a house, but you also know that we are often laughed at by the people in the village, there are a few people over there who are looking at us, you don't know the reason but I know very well, they are jealous of our two sons, I am proud of this!" ”

Xiao Yu's mother put down the dishes and stopped chopsticks, and sighed: "It's not that we are afraid that they will laugh at us, but that we are afraid that you two will become bad with the children in the village!" ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said cautiously: "Mom, Dad, I know, I will never let you down, when my brother and I are admitted to college, see if they dare to laugh at us." ”

Xiao Yu's father sighed and said, "When I get to the city tomorrow, I will go to Aunt Zuo to say hello first, and bring something to your brother by the way......"

After that, there is a regular discourse, a pure teaching. Xiao Yu's mother also interjected a sentence or two from time to time. It took an hour to complete the whole meal.

After cleaning up, Xiao Yu's father smiled at him and said, "Do you want to go to the village to play, and go to grandpa's house to sit down." ”

Xiao Yu looked at it, and many young people and children on the field gathered to chat, chasing and laughing, singing and singing, and firecrackers. His heart was confused, he retracted his gaze, and said with a smile: "No, I'll review my homework!" "Turn around and run upstairs.

Xiao Yu's father smiled slightly and looked up at the night dome. If the cold stars are gone, the cold moon has risen lonely for a long time.

※※※

The sky is slightly bright, the drizzle is like hair, the forest is hazy, the damp and cold is very heavy, the wind blows like a knife, and there is a faint pain. Xiao Yu and his mother walked slowly with a flashlight.

Xiao Yu's mother carried a basket with a bag of rice, some fruits, and some food, and she was so tired that she was sweating and exhaling mist.

Xiao Yu carried a schoolbag and a bag of clothes, and said distressedly: "Mom, your back is not good, I'll carry it." ”

She shook her head and said, "That's all my mother can do for you, just be tired of your mother in this life, but I can't be tired of you!" ”

Xiao Yu was deeply grateful in his heart, and almost burst into tears. I quietly made up my mind that from now on, I would never let my parents suffer again!

The footsteps on the thick fallen leaves and dead branches, rattling, in this silent forest, indescribably crisp and beautiful.

The two climbed over the mountains, through the woods, across the river, and finally arrived at the station.

After a while, the car started and the horn sounded. Xiao Yu opened the car window and shouted, "Mom, go back." ”

Xiao Yu's mother took a small mint candy and stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile: "The air in the car is not good, so it will feel more comfortable to hold it in your mouth." Be careful to keep an eye on your stuff in the car and don't let someone else take it wrong. Pay more attention to your body over there, it's still cold, remember to wear more clothes and don't get sick. When you get off the bus, don't forget your things. I'm busy at home, so I'll go back first. Picking up the basket, he glanced at him, wanting to say something, but waved his hand and walked away slowly.

Xiao Yu looked at her mother's back and was sad.

The eastern mountain range stretches and is hazy, the sun is half-covered, the light is shining, and the morning glow is dancing. The wheels turned, and the cold wind howled. Carrying his dream, as fast as flying, he drove away into the distance.
