Chapter 15: The World Is So Big

Rewind the clock to just before January......

In the corridor of the Zhou family, the barking of all kinds of chickens, ducks, birds and dogs came out and roared in the narrow patio.

"Wang-Wang-"

"Cluck-cluck-"

"Quack—quack—"

Zhou's mother listened louder and louder at home, louder than the barking of dogs, chickens, ducks and geese, these cries were mixed up, echoing in the patio of Zhou Yi's building, which was more lively than the vegetable market.

Zhou's mother listened to the barking that was getting closer and closer, and hurriedly ran out of the house, and looked at the staircase, I don't know when, a black, a yellow and a black and white puppy squatted on the mat, barking from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

Three dogs blocked the staircase, as well as a messy herd of chickens, ducks, and geese that were a head taller than the average poultry.

The chickens, ducks and geese tried to go up the stairs, but they were stopped by three dogs, who barked from time to time as a warning, and at the same time, three pairs of bright eyes looked downstairs, as if waiting for someone.

For some reason, Mother Zhou always saw the same aura and look as a human in the eyes of these three dogs, and it seemed that through those three pairs of eyes, she could convey something that she could understand.

She smelled an unpleasant stench in her nose.

Zhou's mother looked down the stairs and saw a few chickens and ducks urinating on the ground, her face wrinkled, and she immediately shouted: "Zhou Yi - Zhou Yi!" What are you working on? Come back soon, you come back and see?!! The tone was full of reproach.

Zhou Yi heard Zhou's mother's scream, and then thought about the barking of chickens, ducks, geese and dogs that filled his eardrums, his head couldn't help but be big, carrying a few big bags, running upstairs in three steps and two steps, and stepping on a piece of, it was really smelly and disgusting!

"Go down, go down, why are you stuck here?!!"

As soon as the beasts saw Zhou Yi, they immediately fell silent, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Zhou Yi, as if waiting to listen to his orders.

The beasts may not be able to understand Zhou Yi's "human words", but when they see Zhou Yi's expression and body language, they immediately understand it in seconds!

Three geese walked in the front, with three ducks "little brother"; A big rooster with a red blood crown of about seven or eight pounds strutted his head and followed closely behind with seven hens, as if after a rehearsal, he lined up and went downstairs.

Mother Zhou's eyes widened, "These things of yours have been trained by the military?" ”

The aunt who stuck out her head in the opposite building to see the lively aunt, looking at this scene, couldn't help but be surprised, "It seems that our Zhou Yi is still a little useful in reading, you see that a group of chickens and ducks are trained so well, what kind of chickens do you raise, you should have gone to get a circus a long time ago!" ”

"Auntie, this is a good idea, if you can't get along, go to the circus!" Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"It's also a road, and it should be called the 'College Student Circus.'" Zhou's mother also quipped.

Zhou's mother, who is clean by nature and can drag the house twice a day, smelled the smell of and stench in the air, frowned again, and scolded Zhou Yi: "You brute cub, hurry up and clean up those dirty things!" ”

Zhou Yi took the things in his hand, put them in the kitchen under Zhou's mother's disgusted gaze, and cleaned the staircase crossing with detergent several times, and finally stopped under Zhou's mother's approved gaze.

Mother Zhou stood on the stairs, smelling the mixed smell of and duck on Zhou Yi's body, looked at him with great disgust, and scolded with a smile: "Why did I give birth to such a beast cub as you?" If it stinks so much in the future, don't come into my house. ”

"Why don't you go wash yet!"

"How can you be a mother like this?" Zhou Yi resisted angrily.

"What's the wrong with me? For you to eat, drink, and go to a good university, but I didn't expect to provide a chicken cub. Zhou's mother laughed and scolded for a while, smelling the strange smell on Zhou Yi's body, and frowned deeply again, "Go take a bath, it stinks!" Don't be verbose! You can stand it yourself! ”

"No matter how stinky it is, you didn't give birth to it?" Zhou Yi retorted, seeing that Zhou's mother was spitting like a Yellow River in her mouth, and was about to drown him, she immediately obediently went into the bathroom to rinse it.

Zhou Yi came out of the bathroom, and when he just passed by the staircase, his eyes flashed, and he happened to see the three dogs who were still obediently paused on the mat at the staircase.

The three dogs, two big and one small, squatted obediently, without saying a word, with the fragility and panic in their eyes that seemed to be abandoned, which made Zhou Yi's heart soft, and he was so distressed that he couldn't care about the cleanliness of the bath, so he hurriedly went down the stairs and comforted the three dogs one by one.

Zhou Xiaohei, Zhou Xiaohei and Zhou Xiaohua were fed with spiritual liquid every day by Zhou Yi, and their spiritual intelligence was better than that of five or six-year-old children, and they often showed their human side.

Because they were raised by Zhou Yi, especially when they were in the mountains, they were almost one person and three dogs depended on each other, and the feelings were so deep that it was difficult to communicate with outsiders.

When Zhou Yi is bored and lonely, he talks to the dog, or does some interesting games, and the mood is ironed a little, and the loneliness is felt.

Staying away from the red world and living a quiet secluded life is a yearning of Zhou Yi in the metropolis, and it is an imagination in a dream, but when he really escapes into the mountains and forests, he has to be disturbed by various karma and cannot live in peace.

When it was time to really clear the silence, he was alone with Langyue for ten days and a half months, and the loneliness at that time was unspeakable, who did he say it to?

He finally knew that he was not a real hermit, nor was he a cave immortal who could be cultivated into stone for a thousand years, but an ordinary **mortal fetus, with the heart of an ordinary person - even if he got a mysterious space, he couldn't change this.

At least not for now.

He roughly understands that he likes the kind of life that is alone in the world and sits and watches the wind and clouds, but he is also a heart in the red dust, longing for the prosperity and brightness in the red dust, and occasionally longing for the drunken gold fan, who has not experienced drunken life and dreams, has not entered it, knows the pain in it, where can he really make up his mind to be born in the world?

Zhou Yi understands that his so-called comfort of returning to his hometown to farm is just a selfish escape after all, without a heart out of the dust, where is it not red dust?

With a heart of birth, where is it not Nanshan?

Because of this, even in the idyllic land of the mountains, even if he got a mysterious and mysterious space, Zhou Yi could not escape the red dust after all, and he had to work hard and work hard.

As a man, as a normal person, as a person with natural desires, if you haven't experienced vicissitudes and seen through prosperity, where would you be a natural hermit?

If Tao Yuanming hadn't "strayed into the cage and gone for thirty years", how would he know all kinds of fetters and difficulties in the depths of the red dust? If there is no such experience, how can you send out the emotion of "serving the heart in the form, being melancholy and sad"?

Who would have imagined that a farmer who has nothing but knows how to farm can express such feelings?

Hermit, always a prosperous and well-read master, even if he farms, there is a fundamental difference with the "Tian Shehan", this is not physical, but a kind of spiritual exaltation.

Zhou Yi thought about himself.

What he longed for was a quiet and comfortable petty bourgeois life, not a peasant farming career.

He was influenced by certain thoughts, and as soon as he got the space, the first thing he thought of was going home and farming, but he didn't expect that this was definitely not what he wanted.

The world is so big, why not go out and see it?

Living alone and watching the sky, is it really the life he wants?
