Qiyun Mountain, a famous mountain of China's Four Great Avenues, was known as Baiyue in ancient times.

Because Qiyun Mountain has the incense burner peak that resembles a mountain peak, the ingenious stone bridge rock, the unpredictable fairy cave, the beautiful and quiet Yunyan Lake, and the bead curtain spring that throws gold and jade, so Qiyun Mountain is also known as "Jiangnan Xiaowudang".

During the first year of Tang Qian, the Taoist priest Gong Qixia traveled here and lived in seclusion in the Tianmen Rock in the mountains. During the Baoqing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Taoist priest Yu Daoyuan entered the mountain to practice, and established the Yousheng Zhenwu Temple in Qiyunyan.

There are several villages scattered at the foot of the southern foot of Qiyun Mountain, Liucun is one of them, the villages of Liucun are not large and add up to only dozens of households, because they are close to Qiyun Mountain, the folk customs here are very simple, and the doors of every household are always open, perhaps for the convenience of visiting the door, but this really fulfills the so-called "night does not close the door and the road is not left behind".

"Chubby, thank you for your clothes."

Two seven or eight-year-old boys sneakily hid in the grass, and the slightly thin little boy kept pulling the school uniform on his body, which obviously didn't fit well.

"Boss, did you say that Sister Qiu Ling would come again today?" The fat boy stared at the mountain road in front of him with wide eyes and unblinking, but the other party didn't listen to what he said.

The thin boy kicked over and scolded: "It's useless, I want my daughter-in-law to ask your father to find one for you." ”

The fat boy's name is Liu Chengzhi, and Chengzhi's grandfather is the village chief of Liu Village.

"What's the meaning of that, Lan Niu is not as white as Sister Qiu Ling, and this is not as big as Sister Qiu Ling" Liu Chengzhi compared his chest and said nonchalantly.

In the nineties, the wave of reform and opening up has spread to a remote mountain village like Liucun, Qiu Ling, as the first and only college student from Liucun, the village even allowed her to enter the ancestral hall, this is "the first time that the big girl has been on the sedan chair".

The thin boy is called Zou Yi, he is an outsider, seven years ago a woman came to Liucun with a big belly, this stay is seven years, Zou's mother relies on teaching to make a living, Qiu Ling is Zou's mother's first student.

"Little fatty, I can't go, I won't accompany you, I still have something to do today" Zou Yi picked a straw and chewed it in his mouth, and said impatiently.

"Oh, boss, you go first, I'll wait a little longer"

Looking at his green eyes, he is only seven or eight years old, and I really don't know how Lu Dao was cultivated.

"Wait...... Wait, boss, the rabbit meat you made last time was delicious."

Zou Yi turned around and was just about to leave, when Xiaopang hugged his thigh and said with a blank eye.

"Die, Liu Chengzhi, how many times have I told you, don't play this crooked road with me, just say it if you want to eat" Zou Yi said with a disdainful face.

Although Zou Yi was very annoyed by Liu Chengzhi's insinuating words, he also had to admire him, as the so-called "look at the big from a young age, and look at the old at the age of three" If Liu Chengzhi can get out of this mountain, his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary.

"Mom, I'm here to see you, these are apples and oranges from the village, and you see that Aunt Zhang made steamed buns for you and noodles"

At the east end of Liucun is a cemetery, Zou Yi sat in front of an earthen grave, taking out the same things from the package he was carrying, although tears kept dripping on the offerings in front of the tombstone, but he did not cry.

Three years ago, Zou's mother was overworked, after all, she couldn't get through, and left only five-year-old Zou Yi to die, before Zou's mother begged the villagers to take care of Zou Yi on her behalf, but people died like lights out, and in this remote mountain village, every household also lived a life of "licking sesame seeds in the cracks of the table", plus the five-year-old child is when he grows up, they all say "half the child, eat the old man", their own children can't take care of it, how can there be enough to take care of Zou Yi. Just look at the sacrifices, the apples and oranges were picked by Zou Yi himself in the mountains, and the steamed buns were exchanged for an old ginseng.

"Mom, look, this is my school uniform, I went to school this year, and the teacher praised me for being smart," said Zou Yi, who turned his back and wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve.

This school uniform is naturally not his, this is what he borrowed from the little fat Liu Chengzhi, just because Zou's mother has always warned him that only by studying hard can he get ahead, and there will still be such a popular sentence "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and go all over the world without being afraid", in order not to disappoint his mother, Zou Yi wrote and directed such a play.

"Mom, look at me if I've grown taller again"

"Mom, you said that the king is lame and not lacking virtue, and the apples that he got to worship in the ancestral hall are still bad"

"Mom, I caught another rabbit in the mountains the other day, it's bigger than last time......

From noon to sunset, Zou Yi has been talking about his experiences in the past year, and only at this moment can he see the innocence and simplicity that an eight-year-old child should have.

"Mom, I miss you"

Zou Yi couldn't control his thoughts about his mother anymore, and cried tightly holding the stone tablet standing on the ground, no matter how strong he was, he was just an eight-year-old child, and that attachment to his mother was indelible.

"Yi'er, cry, it's comfortable to cry"

The old man's voice sounded behind Zou Yi, and an old man with white hair came to the grave at some point.

"Grandpa Liu, Zou Yi doesn't cry, my mother told me that a man doesn't shed tears when he bleeds, Zou Yi won't cry anymore" Wiping away his tears, he gritted his teeth and pretended to be strong. It's just that strong, no matter who sees it, they will cry.

The person who came was the village chief of Liucun, Liu Chengzhi's grandfather Liu Lin, if there was anyone else in this Liu Village who cared for Zou Yi, it would be the Liu Lin in front of him.

It is said that Liu Lin went up the mountain as a Taoist priest for a few years when he was young, and said that a young man with strong blood and strength could not stand the days of pure heart and few desires, and returned to the village after a few years, relying on being a Taoist priest for a few years, and managed the Liu family ancestral hall naturally, after liberation, the landlord was criticized, the local tyrant was defeated, and the position of village chief naturally fell to Liu Lin, the highest prestige Liu Lin, when Zou Mu first came to Liu Village to suggest that children should read and write, it was Liu Lin who organized the villagers to build a simple school building. This is how the children in the mountains can really get in touch with the world outside the mountains.

Knowing that Zou Yi is a small Zhigao, he is arrogant, so in the past three years, Liu Lin has been secretly helping Zou Yi through his little grandson Liu Chengzhi, which can be described as well-intentioned, of course, it can't be said that Liu Lin has no purpose, they all say that people are old and become fine, Liu Lin was not useless in the years when he was a Taoist priest in the mountains, at least he learned some meager physiognomy skills, after Zou Yi was born, Liu Lin saw the little guy for the first time, and asserted that this kid's achievements in the future are higher than the sky, as for how high it is, it is not something he can see, Even so, it is worth the old guy's pre-investment in Zou Yi.

"Come, let Grandpa Liu also toast a glass of water and wine"

Liu Lin picked up the wine glass and dipped his fingers in the water and wine in the glass, and worshiped Zou Mu according to Taoist etiquette.

"Niece, I'm afraid you Uncle Liu won't have a few years to live, Zou Yi, this child is something I grew up watching, although I didn't enter the Liu family, I said back then that you should pass the kid on to my eldest son, you see...... Hey, what are you talking about" Liu Lin pulled Zou Yi to his side and said: "Even so, I treat him as my own child, watching the child grow up day by day, I don't know what to arrange, hey, you just bother more, take care of it." ”

"Grandpa Liu, I've grown up, I don't need others to take care of me, and the beasts in the mountains are running away when they see me."

"What do children know, the most poisonous thing in the world is not the beast but the human heart, Yi'er, remember Grandpa Liu's words, if you have the opportunity to get out of this mountain, you must be careful, as the so-called 'meet people and say three points, you can't throw away all your heart'" Liu Lin said earnestly.

"Grandpa Liu, I remember" Zou Yi nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Okay, Grandpa Liu is getting older, and he talks a lot, some things naturally don't need me to teach, the master on your mountain is amazing, with him, the niece of the Zou family should also rest assured"

"Grandpa Liu is not old, it depends on the big girls in our village who are not able to say a few words to you"

"Little rabbit cub, the joke has come to Lao Tzu," Liu Lin scolded with a smile.

After all, he is still a child, and this interruption will completely forget the thoughts of his mother.

"Yi'er, have you seen my rabbit cub, I haven't seen anyone for a day" After the joke, Liu Lin said nervously.

It's no wonder that he is so nervous, Old Man Liu has a total of three sons and one daughter, which is considered to be full of children, but none of them are angry, granddaughters and granddaughters come one after another, but there is no grandson, the most reluctant is still the boss to give face, fifty-six years old to get a son, happy old man Liu, the Liu family is just such a single seedling, if there is any mistake, it is really the last.

"You should go back, but Grandpa Liu, you have to be mentally prepared, this guy is afraid that he will get into trouble again" Zou Yi said slyly.

"Little rabbit cub, if you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles, and you will know that you will cause trouble for me all day long, and you will see that I will not break his dog legs when I go back" Hearing this, Old Man Liu was anxious.

Zou Yi pursed his lips, muttering in his heart, you are always fierce, you have grown so big, I really haven't seen you beat Liu Fat.

"Go, go back, it's the other way around, see if I don't close him for a few days" Liu Lin said with a blow of his beard and glare.

Yes, I broke my leg just now, and this will become a confinement, Zou Yi held back a smile in his heart.

"Grandpa Liu, I won't go back, go up the mountain to find the master, you go back by yourself, tell Cheng Zhi to bring him a fat rabbit back in a few days"

Before he finished speaking, Zou Yi disappeared into Qiyun Mountain.

"Hey, slow down, don't fall, this kid" Liu Lin shouted twice, but Zou Yi was gone.

"Hey, when will my rabbit cub be as sensible as your family Yi'er, and my old bones will be relieved, Zou sister, you have given birth to a good baby" Looking at Zou's mother's tombstone, Liu Lin sighed.
