A week later in the evening. respective homes.

After reading the paintings drawn by my second brother, I was also itching in my heart, so I hid in my room and scribbled a few random pieces on the paper with a brush, and my face was covered with ink. Then he crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash. Ay...... Tonight is destined to be another boring and wasted night. How to pass the long night is the loneliest and most torturous thing in the world.

Chen Miaoji was forced to practice calligraphy in the house, and the paper read: 'Industry is good at diligence, absurdity is in play, and success is in action.' After writing more than a dozen sheets, I felt a little sleepy, and my hair was picked up as soon as I lowered my head slightly, and I had to cheer up again, and I struggled for a while, and I was really sleepy, and I fell asleep directly by hanging......

After three minutes of heat, I gave up struggling because I didn't paint a satisfactory work. I had nothing to do and was quite bored, so I tossed around in the house. So I had nothing to do, so I deliberately tied the sheets to the ends of the pillows, and then found a sturdy stool, and then stepped on the stool to reach the beam, wanting to make a swing. Finally, with great difficulty, the sheet was tied to the beam; It looks like it should be able to handle its own weight. I deliberately looked at the body in the mirror, and it was not thin and heavy. Succeed with flying colors. So I grabbed the sheet and sat on the pillow. His feet swayed slightly, and he looked at the uncontrollable excitement and excitement of the swing he made, so he shook more and more boldly. The swing grew larger and wider, slamming me out of the doorway. I always felt like there were eyes staring at me in the dark, wanting to see my jokes. So he simply lay on the ground and couldn't get up. After a long time, I got up from the ground in frustration. I really wanted to vent, but I couldn't find anyone. I was angry and tore off the sheet and threw it away, and the cloth lay quietly on the ground a meter away, I couldn't get angry, and I was happy when I stepped on two feet. A boring evening passed like this.

Early autumn 1878. This is the fifth year since I ran away from home, and I am like a beggar, wandering around with no fixed place to live. I haven't gone back to see my brother all these years, I don't know how they are, I suddenly miss them very much, and my thoughts come to my heart like a tide, and I suddenly feel tormented, and I am suddenly extremely aggrieved. Five years ago, my eldest brother arranged a family affair for me, and I don't know why I suddenly had a hundred unwilling on the way. Escaped on the road, and later didn't have the face to go back to see the big brother. Originally, I started with all kinds of naïve thoughts in my heart; I have thought about being chivalrous and righteous, and I have thought about going into the world alone, but now I have been baptized by life, and I am willing to fall and insensitive; I've become accustomed to eating the last meal without the next, and I feel that I can only do this for the rest of my life.

Suddenly there was something outside the house, and I climbed out of the window. I now live in an ancient house that has been abandoned for a long time, and I think the most distinctive feature of the ancient house is the 6-storey tower on the right-hand side, which looks like Leifeng Pagoda. Actually, I don't know where I am now, I only know that this is Gangnam.

I jumped out of the window and saw a mink on the ground. During this time, there was a very well-behaved big snake with me, I don't know what kind of species it belongs to, I only know that every time it will bring me a lot of different strange things from various places, what I wear on my head and on my body are all brought back by this big snake from the back mountain of the ancient house. Its body is 3-4 times larger than my waist, and it is fat in the spring and summer, and thinner in the winter.

"Wang ...... Woo ......"

Hearing the voice of Wangcai behind me, I suddenly realized, I see, no wonder the snake wants to go. I motioned for the dog to shut up, vaguely knowing that the snake was watching me nearby, and that it probably hadn't left. "Thank you!" I looked at the mountain behind me and said happily, "Okay, okay...... In the winter, there are new clothes to wear. ”

In the early morning, when he got up, he didn't see Wangcai, and he didn't know where he had gone to play, maybe he had gone to the river to catch fish, or maybe he had gone to the mountains to chase hares. Wangcai is the child of the big dog in the family, the big dog is the same age as me, and I grew up with me since I was a child, but the life span of the dog is not as good as that of humans after all, the year I ran away, I remember that it is already very old, because the eyes are spent, and the body is not as good as before...... More often than not, I think of the big dogs first, and then I miss my brothers. Invisibly, the big dog has also become one of the brothers.

There is a very large rocky cliff in the back mountain, I sit on it, basking in the morning sun, it is almost winter, the sun is warm and very comfortable, I close my eyes like a lazy cat...... Feeling someone coming behind me, I smiled slightly, lay back, pillowed my arms with my hands, and rested my head on them, while the back was warm cotton, and it was very elastic. I turned my head to the side and smiled happily at him. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the sun.

After a long time, I tapped his belly lightly, then stood up and spun around him, I had already made a cape from mink. "Is it pretty?"

It just looked at me and felt it smile, and I was happier to see it smiling but not smiling. Then I lay on its cold and comfortable body until I heard Wangcai's cry. I returned to the yard with Wangcai's cry, and Wangcai caught me a big hare, which was dead, just bitten to death. Because if I see something alive, I can't do it.

Great, you can add another meal in the evening!

I didn't see the big snake for several days, and when I got up every day, I only saw Wangcai in the yard, and there was no big snake coming, and Wangcai became lazy, and Wangcai closed his eyes and lay his head on the ground, motionless. Popularity, popularity, and sure enough, there are a lot of people.

Where did the serpent go? Hibernation? It's impossible, because in the past five years, every time the big snake hibernates half a month ago, it will come over to stay in the yard with me and Wangcai, and it will stay for half a month, the kind that never leaves. Half a month later, in the morning, it would wait for me to get up, look at me and leave. Where have you been these days? The more I think about it, the more panicked I become, and I don't know why I'm so irritable and can't sit still.

I got up and went to the back mountain to look for the big snake, and only by looking at it would my heart be more steady. Wangcai saw that I was gone, and then he followed. Sometimes they walk in front of me and find their way, sometimes they fall behind me and sniff and look for them.

I have been searching in the mountains for three or four days, but I still haven't seen the serpent. Where exactly did it go?

In the past half a month, Wangcai has not even caught fish and rabbits for me to eat, and at night I am so hungry that I can only go to the next village to dig other people's sweet potatoes. Because it is stealing, it does not dare to bring prosperity, otherwise it will scream blindly as soon as there is any movement. I yawned, and by the moonlight I could vaguely see a large area nearby, four or five acres of land full of delicacies. I dug 5-6 of them, all of them went well, and I was super happy and satisfied when I looked at the sweet potatoes in my hand. There's enough to eat tonight, and I'm going home. I returned to the position where I had just put the sweet potato, and found that I couldn't find the sweet potato before, and then suddenly I felt like I was being targeted, and my scalp was numb, and I clenched the only sweet potato in my arms, and ran back like an arrow. I only dared to run forward desperately, I didn't dare to look back, although I couldn't see anything, but I already felt the danger and fear, and I heard Wangcai's cry two or three hundred meters away from the yard, and I immediately had a sense of security in my heart: "Wangcai ......" I was so moved that I was about to cry, and I didn't dare to sneak out by myself in the future.

Seeing Wangcai in the yard, my heart was very steady. I washed the sweet potato, looking at the white sweet potato, I couldn't help but take a bite, it's crispy, sweet, I am full of joy! This grilled food must be delicious. I buried the sweet potatoes in the soil and covered them with fire...... Suddenly, a shadow dangled behind the door. And at this moment, Wangcai is not called?

On the street, it's extremely quiet. It's a huge street, but there is no one, all the way is full of lights, picturesque, it feels very real and it doesn't feel real at all. It's a little weird, and this kind of environment feels very untimely. How does this feel familiar?

I have been very timid since I was a child, and I hurriedly led Wangcai back to where I lived.

"Ah......" Suddenly out of nowhere came a terrible scream, and after a long time, there was a "Ah......" I got up suddenly, Wangcai stood at the door and screamed hysterically, but its legs were always in front of the door, and it didn't dare to move forward. I ran to the yard, but I didn't find anything, and suddenly a gust of wind blew in the room, and the things in the room crackled, but it didn't last long, but it made my hair tingle and my heart beat almost a few beats. There is a premonition that there will be an inevitable 'storm'.

Long nights and not being able to sleep is the most painful thing.

There was only an old oil lamp on the wall, which flickered and dimmed.

"Pop ......" A mass of things suddenly fell from the sky, startling me, and before I could see clearly, it had been crushed into a blurry meat pancake, and bone fragments flew over Wangcai's cheek with brains, cutting a cut. I saw a black shadow, a black shadow with very dark skin and sharp teeth, and disappeared after a few tornadoes in the air. After a long time when Wangcai didn't scream, I walked to the door and looked around, and after a long time to see what it was, I finally determined that it was the skin of a big snake, and I recognized it. Suddenly very scared, upset, my heart was extremely anxious, I clenched my fists, tears slipped down instantly, my brain did not listen to my command, my head was just blindly biting my index finger to buffer my emotions, the original calm has long been extinguished by the boundless darkness, and now I can only awaken the wakefulness of the brain by biting myself...... I stood in the yard for a long, long time...... After that, I started to look everywhere, I just subconsciously staggered forward, dizzy, whether it was dead or alive, I had to see the big snake.

I've lived here for so long, five years, and I haven't been to any other room except my room and the courtyard at the door of the room, including that Leifeng Pagoda. Because after all, it's someone else's territory, and I'm very grateful to have a place to live here. But today, in order to find the big snake, I can only offend, I secretly made up my mind, and prayed to the mansion.

I followed the sound and slowly approached the Leifeng Pagoda. Suddenly, he heard a creaking of footsteps behind him, his long hair hanging down to cover his face, but there was no shadow of her on the ground......
