In the evening, Qingyun County, Qiyun Village. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The smoke of cooking smoke rose sparsely on the roofs of each house, and the smoke dispersed with the breeze, and the whole village was slowly wrapped in a layer of soft tulle, hazy, adding a bit of poetry to the whole quiet mountain village.

From time to time, the "clucking" sound of hens and the soft barking of beagles chasing and playing, the fragrance of the earth and the fragrance of wild flowers show the tranquility and leisure of the mountain village.

As the saying goes: rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water. Qiyun Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are many wild beasts in the mountains, and most of the local men naturally have good hunting skills.

The villagers' economic resources are not small, and most of them rely on the men in the family to hunt wild beasts and take them to Qingyun Town for some daily necessities, ranging from pheasants and hares to tigers and leopards, which are very popular with the wealthy families in the town.

In addition, most of the villagers are kind and benevolent, and the neighbors help each other, and the overall living standard of the whole village is much higher than that of several neighboring villages, which naturally contributes to the peaceful atmosphere of Qiyun Village.

According to the elders in the village, the ancestors of the Zhang family are the original residents of the local area, and they have been passed down to the present generation for hundreds of years.

In the past 100 years, they have moved to several other people's homes, and the local villagers are simple and simple, and after seeing the people with foreign surnames migrating over, they live honestly and honestly, and they slowly accept them, and even actively help them integrate into the local harmonious ordinary life.

When you think about these outsiders, you must mention the most famous of them, Mr. Ye's family.

Speaking of Mr. Ye's family, it has to start from thirteen years ago.

At that time, locusts were raging in Qingyun County, and the poor people who had worked hard for a whole year had almost no harvest in the end. Among the entire Qingyun County, the situation in Qiyun Village is the worst, almost all the local food crops have been eaten by locusts.

The major grain stores in Qingyun County took the opportunity to raise the price of grain on a large scale, and the villagers of Qiyun were not rich in economic savings, and they were barely able to live at home, so where could they buy grain five or six times higher than usual.

Although the villagers cursed the black-hearted profiteers of the grain store, and went to the government many times to report the illegal acts of the grain store, in the end to no avail. The villagers had no choice but to succumb to the high prices of this black-hearted grain store, tightening their belts every day to barely survive.

The money flowed into the pockets of the grain store owners, but it only temporarily alleviated their plight. Soon, their scarce savings were gone.

The Ye family couple who happened to pass by saw that the villagers here were struggling to make a living, and they couldn't bear it, so they generously donated money and bought a large amount of food and pesticides to help the villagers of Qiyun tide over this difficulty.

The local folk customs are simple, and the villagers are naturally grateful and praised by the Ye family and his wife who saved their family.

In an inadvertent way, the villagers learned from the communication with the Ye family and his wife that the two of them had only traveled through this place at that time, and they liked the landscape of this place very much, so they vigorously kept him and the two of them to live here, but they did not expect that they lived for thirteen years, and also gave birth to a lovely baby girl ten years ago, named "Ting'er".

Mr. Ye often wears Confucian clothes, looks polite and polite, like a scholar, shows everyone's demeanor between gestures, and the local villagers seem out of place, after all, the local people are all vulgar people in the countryside, and there are almost no people who can read and hyphenate.

And his wife is dignified and graceful, and she is also a beautiful girl, and she must also be born into a famous family.

During this period, Mr. Ye built a simple private school with the help of the local villagers, and donated some money to buy books, tables and chairs, and told the local villagers that he was willing to spend an hour a day teaching local children to read and write for free.

Although the cultural quality of the villagers is not high, they can still see at a glance that he is hardworking, and they respect him more and more.

"Ting'er, Ting'er." A rough voice came.

A ten-year-old girl who was teasing a little yellow dog heard someone call her name, gently pressed the little yellow dog churning in her arms, and turned around.

But seeing her melon seed face, her eyes are like paint, delicate and vulgar, although she is dressed in coarse cloth clothes, but she can't hide her beautiful temperament at all, and she looks like a beautiful embryo!

Ting'er's beautiful eyes narrowed, her pretty mouth raised, and she called softly, "Brother Zhang Meng", and greeted her with joy. The little yellow dog barked twice at the visitor, and then stayed quietly in Ting'er's arms, looking very humane.

I saw a sturdy man in an Orion suit rushing straight to Ting'er's side, swinging the hunting bow on his shoulder, and drawing an irregular arc behind it.

In his left hand, he held a white-haired beast, the white-haired beast's head drooped, one eye closed, and the other eye was deeply pierced with an arrow, leaving only an inch of the severed arrow shaft outside.

When the man saw Ting'er calling his name, he subconsciously sped up a little faster.

The little girl named Ting'er, surnamed Ye, was born to Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye in their third year of seclusion here. The little girl has a lively and cheerful personality, looks like a clear water hibiscus, coupled with the local reputation and prestige of Ye's father and Ye's mother, Ting'er is naturally very popular with everyone in the village.

And that Zhang Meng, don't look like an adult, but if you look closely, there is still a little childish air on his face, he is actually only four years older than Ye Ting'er. Don't look at his age, but he is mature and steady, and his archery skills are very good, and the adult people in the village are very important to him.

Speaking of Zhang Meng, his life was miserable when he was young. Zhang Meng's father, in his early years, was a famous archer in the village, and his archery skills made the villagers all admire, so that he was extremely arrogant, and he always went alone when hunting in the mountains, and never walked with other hunters in the village.

When he went deep into Qiyun Mountain to hunt, his left hand was unexpectedly severely injured, and he was not treated in time, which finally caused his left hand to no longer exert any strength, and he was also unable to hold the bow and arrow again, which hit him hard, no less than the sky falling.

Since then, Zhang's father has lived in a daze, without the charm of an archer in his early years. Naturally, the villagers could not turn a blind eye, and the village chief and Mr. Ye also came forward many times to persuade Zhang's father to cheer up, but with little success.

And that Zhang's mother also died because of too much pressure in life, after giving birth to Zhang Meng. Zhang's father didn't seem to have much emotion about his wife's death, and even Zhang's mother's burial was organized by the villagers collectively, and Zhang's father's image in the village plummeted, and now the villagers sneered at it and retreated.

"Ting'er, look what this is." When the two were nearly ten zhang away, Zhang Meng couldn't wait to raise the loot in his hand, and raised it to show off to Ting'er, the pride in his eyes was so deep.

When she got closer, Ting'er saw clearly that the white-haired little beast turned out to be an extremely rare white-haired little fox!

"Ah, this..." Ting'er was originally very interested in looking at the white-haired little fox, and stretched out her fair-skinned and delicate little hand to caress its soft white hair.

Zhang Meng was originally full of pride, and he was so excited that he was waiting for his Ting'er sister's praise, but he didn't expect to wait for such a scene, and he panicked, like an ant on a hot pot, so anxious.

When had he ever encountered such a situation, how did he know how to solve such a great problem, given his loyal and honest character. just blindly said words like "Ting'er don't cry, Ting'er don't cry", but looking at Ting'er's sleeves wiping tears, the pear rain did not stop, and she suddenly became a little at a loss.

After scratching his head with his right hand, and tentatively saying that he would never hurt such a non-ferocious animal again, Ting'er slowly raised her head, and asked in a choked voice if it was true.

Zhang Meng was overjoyed when he saw that this method was effective, and hurriedly promised again and again that he would never violate this word. Ting'er seemed to trust him very much, and her tears quickly stopped, she wiped the tears on her face with her little hands, twitched her upturned jade nose, and pouted and said, "You can't lie to me." ”

Zhang Meng saw the tears on Ting'er's pretty face and the red and swollen eyes, his heart ached, he nodded to her again and again, and secretly swore that he would never let Ting'er be sad in the future.

Zhang Meng put his right hand into his arms, grabbed and unfolded it, and three red wild fruits appeared in front of Ting'er, smiled honestly, and said, "Ting'er, look what this is." ”

Ting'er's eyes flashed with crystal streamers, and she quickly snatched the three wild fruits, with a hint of excitement in her light voice, "Where did these oars come from?" ”。

Zhang Meng smiled shyly, and a trace of joy welled up in his heart, "I picked it when I was hunting, if you like it, I will definitely pick it for you when I go up the mountain next time." ”

Ting'er's pretty face was slightly red, and the joy on her face was overflowing, the unhappiness caused by the white fox just now had been blown away by the breeze and disappeared without a trace.

It's like a child's heart!

Zhang Meng watched the night gradually fall, chatted with Ting'er casually, and urged Ting'er to go back.

Ting'er glanced at the sky, and seemed to feel that it was not early, so she said goodbye to Zhang Meng, and happily grabbed the three red paddle fruits and went back.

Zhang Meng was stunned to watch Ting'er disappear into the gate of a private school not far away before coming back to his senses, he looked down at the little white fox in his hand, and was a little embarrassed, how to deal with this little beast.
