I don't know when a rich man came to Xingjia Village and built a house directly south of the big pond at the entrance of the village.

The peasant village women who rise and set at sunrise are not very accurate in their concept of time, but they roughly know the 24 solar terms, so they don't miss the agricultural time, so the big guy doesn't know the exact time when the rich man settled in Xingjia Village.

And the reason why the villagers felt that the simple family was rich was that the family's house was large. In this remote village, it is enough for an ordinary family to have three tile houses, but the main house alone occupies more space than the ordinary two-room tile house needs, and a courtyard wall is built outside, making the whole house appear spacious and mysterious, making it difficult to guess. From laying the foundation to the completion, the speed is also extremely large, and the materials are all purchased from other places, without alarming the villagers much, and I don't know where to invite the masons, and it was completed in seven or eight days.

The family was very generous when they bought the land, and the foundation was originally owned by the two brothers, Xing Dashi and Xing Ershi. The village chief, as a notary, had seen the head of the family trade the foundation with the two brothers of the Xing family. Not only did the man not bargain, but also gave a double price, and also bought the farmland in the names of the two brothers of the Xing family.

Therefore, the two brothers of the Xing family fulfilled their desire to abandon agriculture and business, and moved to the county to do a small business.

And the five-year-old Xing Feng knew that the owner of the house was Mr. Wei who had taught him a lesson that afternoon.

Xing Feng was very curious about who that gentleman was, but when his father was at home, he didn't dare to mention it to his father, because for some reason, his father had always been very disgusted with people who were rich or officials. When the house was finished, he happened to be home alone, and in the small kitchen window, he saw the gentleman moving in through the pool, but in the days after that, he seldom went out of the house, or when the gentleman came out of the house, he did not meet him.

Then one day he finally met the gentleman going out, but he got into the grey carriage in which he had come. The carriage ran fast, and Xingfeng mustered up the courage to run to the other side of the big pond, but he couldn't catch up at all. He is not good at chasing after the carriage of a rich man in everyone's eyes, and aside from gossip, he is also afraid that such information will reach his father's ears and make him unhappy.

On his sixth birthday, his father took him to the county to play. The first time he went to a restaurant to eat, Xing Feng was extremely excited, but on this day, he heard a news that made him feel very conflicted in his heart.

It is true that gentleman is 'Lizhengtang', but 'Lizhengtang' is a school that only rich and noble sons in the county can enter. And although the threshold of this school is high, its reputation is very bad in the hearts of poor students.

Later, when he was about eight years old, he also made friends with a few young men who were studying in the county. I wanted to get some vague information from their mouths, but as soon as the name of 'Lizheng Hall' was mentioned, they couldn't help but scold.

This made Xing Feng very curious about the details of the 'Lizheng Hall', but he was afraid that he would be despised if he exited in front of others, and he also had an unclear attitude towards the gentleman in the house who had taught him a lesson, in short, he was no longer as diligent as he was three years ago squatting at the door of his house to observe the opposite house.

In the winter of the fifth year of Zhaoli, on the eighth day of the lunar month, there was a heavy snow in the south that had not been seen for several years.

Fortunately, the season of snow falling has been close in recent years, and the overall weather in the southern cities and counties this year is acceptable, and the new policy of Zhaoguo is stable, so whether it is a farmer or a businessman, this year's harvest is not bad, so this heavy snow that has not been expected for several years not only did not cause any disasters, but added a lot of fun to the southern cities and counties at the end of the year.

The happiest is the children, building snowmen, snowball fights, all kinds of games that can be made of snow, are developed by the wisdom of children who are not bound by the pressure of life, and even some children's parents have a good harvest this year, so they are in the mood to go out to play in the snow with the children, and Xingjia Village is the most lively on the flat threshing floor.

But today, Xingfeng didn't go out to play.

He is 10 years old this year, and according to normal sense, children in the village can follow their parents to work in the fields at the age of seven or eight. But Xing Feng was not allowed to follow him to hunt until he was ten years old, and Xing Feng would only do some chopping wood if he stayed at home.

Since he learned wood-splitting kung fu with that gentleman for an afternoon five years ago, and insisted on splitting firewood in that way for five years, Xing Feng only felt that his food had become larger, and his arm strength was somehow much larger than that of children of the same age, and his legs were more stable. The trouble was that he discovered this perception while playing wrestling with a child.

Although the torture only used half of the force, it smashed the child, causing Xing Laohan to spend a little wild boar to make others angry. After that, Xing Laohan strictly ordered Xing Feng not to play with children, he thought that it was because Xing Feng had grown into a big child, but Xing Feng could only be secretly depressed and did not dare to explain a word. It's just that I really don't dare to play with other children in the future, for fear of making another mistake.

So even today, when it snowed a lot of snow that had not been seen for several years, and I was having fun watching other people's snowball fights, Xing Feng was worried about whether a snowball would break other people's heads once he participated.

Today, Dad went out in the heavy snow, and Xing Feng was worried that the snow on the ground was too thick, and it would be dangerous for Dad to go hunting in the mountains. But this persuasion was still ineffective, and Dad's stubborn temper did not decline at all because of the aging of his appearance.

So Xingfeng sat on the threshold of the gate again with a common attitude. He looked at the half of the courtyard wall made of stones that he had moved from the back mountain one by one in the past few years, and a pile of firewood sticks full of snowflakes.

At this time, Xingfeng suddenly heard a somewhat fierce sound, which seemed to be the sound of stoneware or something. He subconsciously looked towards his kitchen, thinking that a wild cat was stealing the dried meat pickled in the kitchen, but at this moment, he heard a sharp exclamation again, and followed the sound, but looked at the opposite house, where the door was often closed.

Then he saw a small head poking out of the courtyard wall of the house, with two pigtails combed on his head, and his mouth exhaled bursts of white gas rapidly, and he put his hands on the courtyard wall and grabbed it vigorously, picking off a lot of snow foam.

"Help! Help me! ”

The girl screamed loudly, her tone full of panic.

Somehow, Xing Feng didn't think much of it, turned around and ran towards the courtyard wall of the house, shouting as he ran: "Hold on, I'll save you!" ”

When Xingfeng ran under the wall, he found that he couldn't find anything to put his feet on, and it was still a bit difficult to climb to the wall at his height.

Fortunately, he soon found an old poplar tree next to the courtyard wall, and after a little thought, a somewhat adventurous idea came to his mind, so he climbed the tree as fast as he could. It was only when he climbed the tree that he realized that the branches of the old poplar tree were not as soft as the willow tree, and the torture wind standing on the treetop seemed to be a little higher and farther away from the courtyard wall.

Just as the torture wind was worried, I heard the girl cry out again: "Hurry up, I'm about to fall!" ”

Xing Feng was anxious, his brain was hot, and he thought of his experience in chopping wood in the past few years, and he was able to stand firm, so he made up his mind in his heart, although he also knew that there was some risk, but he still decided to do it.

He stared, and then jumped off the count!

It's just that he jumped onto the courtyard wall, and the soles of his feet slipped, and he slid directly into the courtyard, scraping off a piece of rubble and making a loud noise.

The girl was about to be unable to hold on, but suddenly saw him jump from the tree towards the courtyard wall, and his hand slipped in fright, and finally he couldn't catch the punishment wind to save him, so he also slid down the courtyard wall.

Lying at the base of the wall, he was humming and humming, and when he saw that the girl had also slipped down, he unconsciously leaned forward, and the girl's body suddenly smashed him accurately, and by the way, he brought down a large snowflake and wiped his face.

The girl felt that her fall was not very painful, and subconsciously let out a scream to calm down. Sideways saw that he was caught by the young man, but the young man didn't know if he hadn't had time to stand up, or if he happened to be knocked down by himself, and his face was covered by a snowflake, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could hear his muffled snort.

The girl hurriedly crawled away from Xing Feng's body, knelt on the snow without fear of the cold, wiped the snow foam off Xing Feng's face in a little panic, and asked urgently, "What's wrong with you?" Did you fall and get hurt? Where does it hurt? ”

Xing Feng snorted a few times and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." But his men were rubbing their elbows vigorously.

saw that the girl suddenly grabbed Xing Feng's arm that was rubbing, and stretched out her hand as if to help him massage to relieve the pain, but after a while, the girl's fingers suddenly strained, and Xing Feng couldn't help but grit her teeth in pain.

Seeing this, the girl asked softly, "Does it hurt?" ”

"No, it doesn't hurt." Xing Feng frowned, there was still pain, but he could still endure the pain.

"It doesn't hurt to pinch like this, that is, it really doesn't hurt." The girl let go of her hand, laughed happily, and added, "I touched it, the bone was not broken, and my luck was good." ”

Her voice is very crisp, her slender hands are delicate, but her face is a little pale, which makes Xing Feng feel cute and pitiful, but she still has a helpless sentence in her heart: At a young age, a girl's family actually made a move to climb over the wall, what a ghost.

After laughing, the girl asked expectantly, "I want to go out to play, can you take me out?" ”
