"Huh?"

Xizhu's face was inexplicable again, and the thin monkey was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he quickly turned around and ran towards the two people in front of him without looking back.

Watching the three guys go away, Xizhu sighed, and looked down at his feet with bark, his expression becoming more and more complicated.

After a little hesitation, because it was already a little late, and the light in the bamboo forest was not very good, he finally walked towards his house.

It didn't take long for him to hear the familiar sound of running water, and he knew that he was close to home, and after turning a few bamboo groves along the familiar path, the familiar thatched hut appeared in front of him.

It's just that the thatched hut at this time is not like other people's houses, either smoking or lighting up, his home is very quiet, so quiet that it seems that the people in the house have already turned off the lights and gone to sleep.

Apprehensive, Xizhu cautiously came to the small courtyard in front of the thatched hut

"Where did you run today!"

At this time, a crisp sound suddenly sounded behind Xizhu, Xizhu's face changed, and he suddenly turned around, and his body did not forget to retreat and lean against the bamboo fence in the small courtyard.

"Ah...... You haven't slept yet, Grandma. ”

Xizhu was weak-hearted, and saw a woman in her forties standing in front of him at this time, she was wearing a gray coarse cloth dress, and her long and visible white hair on her head was neatly coiled up and tied with a silk scarf, simple and a little capable.

"Huh?"

Seeing Xizhu's reaction, the woman frowned, but this expression made her originally plain face a little more wrinkled by the years.

"I didn't ...... Today I ...... with the big fat them."

Xizhu began to fall apart, don't look at Xizhu's usual bohemianism, at this time he can only be as timid as a mouse seeing a cat, and the nonsense he had thought of before couldn't be said clearly after a little panic.

Because the woman who appeared behind him was none other than the aunt who pulled him up with hard work, the woman looked at Xizhu, and a trace of doubt flashed in her clear eyes again, to say that the person in the world who knows Xizhu the most, I'm afraid she is the only one.

Of course, Xizhu Gongzi, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, also has such a person who is most afraid.

Soon, when her gaze fell on Xizhu's feet, the fold between her eyebrows became more and more obvious.

"Say, I'll see how you make it up. ”

"That...... I heard that there was a mountain meeting in the next village today, so I went to see it with Big Fat and them. ”

Xizhu explained hesitantly, he didn't dare to really let his grandma know about what happened today, otherwise the consequences might be unimaginable, and the four of them had already discussed the countermeasures before they were ready to sneak away to the county seat of Qixian County, and when they returned home, they all said that they went to the mountain meeting, ensuring that no one would say anything.

"Shanhui, really?"

The woman's eyes showed suspicion, but after thinking about it, she still felt that something was wrong, and looked at Xizhu's embarrassed appearance again, and was about to say something, Xizhu, who had finally calmed down, quickly added: "I heard that the girl from the Liu family in the next village is very good-looking, so I went to take a look, hehe......"

"Count your boy acquaintance, it's time to find a girl to serve the old lady well. ”

After listening to what Xizhu said, the woman's expression softened, and after thinking about it, she suddenly added: "Then have you seen people, how about it, the girl and aunt of the Liu family have seen it, and they ......."

"Oops...... I've been going here for most of the day, I'm starving to death, does Grandma have anything to eat?"

Hearing that the other party was about to start nagging again, Xizhu hurriedly found an excuse to bypass.

"You kid, it's not certain if people can see us, that meal is ready, let's eat it yourself at the table!"

As the words fell, the woman walked past Xi Zhude and walked towards the house.

Seeing that he had finally coped with the past, Xizhu was careful to breathe a sigh of relief, and then quickly ran to the sink in the yard and took off his shoes, looked at the bloodstained soles of his feet and gritted his teeth, and then began to clean them, and still couldn't help but grit his teeth and muttered under the slightly cool cold water.

"You said that you are not young anymore, and you are still like everyone all day long, today I asked someone to inquire, and when you find a daughter-in-law in the future, I will let you go to the county seat to find a job to make a living......"

After a while, a light finally came on in the room, and the woman's nagging was heard again.

"I don't want to go, I found a daughter-in-law, and we'll stay with you at home. ”

Xizhu responded to his grandmother while wiping his face with water, and when he changed into the cloth shoes in the yard, his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, so he quickly turned around and ran into the house.

This night's dinner was very simple, it was simple buns and dishes, there were no delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there were no big fish and meat, but it was these things that raised Xizhu since he was a child, and he also ate it a lot.

Grandma didn't eat with Xizhu, after the meal, Xizhu washed the dishes and chopsticks as usual, and looked out the window at the night of Dazhu Village outside the house, the night had completely fallen, and the mountains in the distance had completely darkened, and Grandma was sitting next to the oil lamp with a piece of clothing and sewing it up.

After cleaning up Xizhu, he suddenly felt a little sleepy, and he was tired of this day's toss.

"Grandma, I'll sleep first"

Xizhu greeted Grandma and walked towards his room.

"You go to sleep first. ”

Grandma said, Xizhu didn't say more, he hobbled to the door of the room, like a child who will never grow up, just when he was about to enter the house, he seemed to remember something, and saw him suddenly turn around and look at Grandma sitting next to the oil lamp.

The days in Dazhu Village are very ordinary, and grandma seems to be doing the same thing day after day for so many years, but today, through the flickering light of the oil lamp, he found that the wrinkles at the corners of grandma's eyes seem to be becoming more and more obvious.

The years are urging people to get old, it turns out that he has grown up, but his grandma is already old.

"Ah ......"

"Is there anything else, by the way, I heard that it's not peaceful outside, so don't go out and run around during this time. ”

"Oh"

Xizhu answered, but finally didn't continue, or went back to his room and plunged directly into the bed, originally wanting to sleep well, but when he stared at the roof, he couldn't sleep for a long time.

For so many years, Xizhu has always had a knot in his heart that he has never talked about to anyone, maybe Grandma has never cared, but Xizhu knows in private that Grandma was a widow in the village when she had herself.

According to the customs here, this has a child for no reason, but it will be poked in the backbone by the people in the village, although in the end their family still stayed in Dazhu Village, but there are many people in private who talk nonsense in the back.

Although all this has faded over time, since Xizhu became sensible, there have been a lot of rumors and rumors that have reached his ears, and there have been many times when he almost couldn't resist wanting to go to those guys.

But after all, he is just a child, and it is not until so many years have passed, perhaps everyone is used to his existence, that these rumors have decreased a lot.

But Xizhu has always been very unwilling, he doesn't know who his father is, why he can bear to let the mother and son live so hard for so many years.

Thinking about it, Xizhu put his hand on his head and finally fell asleep slowly, he didn't dream this night, he slept very sweetly, maybe he was too sleepy, and when he woke up, it was already bright outside.

Xizhu sat up from the bed in a daze, and found that his body was covered with a quilt at some point, and his hands were honestly on his stomach, and the clothes he wore yesterday had been taken off and placed on the table beside him and folded neatly.

Xizhu got out of bed, picked up the clothes, and found that the clothes were clean, but there were a few more traces of sewing on them.......

In addition, in the southwest of Luoguo, the king of Tuoba unified the herdsmen, led the herdsmen to break through more than a dozen cities in the southwest, the world was terrified, and then continued to fight against the Luo king's division on this basis, not long ago a big war broke out again, and the 100,000 troops of the Luo country fought with the herdsmen.

The army of Luoguo, which originally planned to recover the lost territory, did not expect that they were defeated again!

This time, not only the entire southwest region, but even the southern frontier of the neighboring southwest began to be chaotic, and the 100,000 army was definitely a large number for the Luo country, but it was still defeated.

For a time, the figure of King Tuoba made many people begin to smell and change.

The city was lost again, the remnants of the army retreated to the danger, and the king's capital was already jumping in the sky, and finally a royal order came out again, marking that the peace of the world would be completely gone.

The world conscripts, crusade against Tuoba!

The royal capital conscripted the world, hoarded grain and grass, and finally began to prepare for a protracted war that would begin with the herdsmen after several failures, and the distant water could not quench the thirst of the near, and the herdsmen rose from the southwest wasteland to eat the world, and the adjacent southern frontier land as the gateway to the Luo country, finally became a place of right and wrong.

The minister stationed in the border city issued a conscription document overnight, and a military rebellion finally spread to every corner of southern Xinjiang, but this time the conscription is no longer for the soldiers to volunteer and fight for the king's division, they have no choice!

On this day, Xizhu honestly stayed in Dazhu Village, although the world mutinied, but it took a lot of time to send the information back to Dazhu Village, but this ordinary day seemed boring, he helped Grandma grind some wheat, and went out to play again, it was not early.

Because after sneaking to Qi County, the big fat, skinny monkey and the little dog seem to have become honest, and they don't see Xizhu again, but the four guys who are often in a group on weekdays have become a lot more low-key.

In the evening, it was time for the sun to set, Xizhu alone found a high ground, where he could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the entire sunset, he lay on a big rock, looking at the golden sunset, the rare silence will always make people have a lot of reverie.

Now he is not small, but he lives in Dazhu Village every day, according to the life trajectory of ordinary people, the next step is to ask for a daughter-in-law, serve his grandmother well, and then finish his life plainly, but will he choose this?

Perhaps Xizhu would not have thought that the peace of Dazhu Village was about to go away, and his fate was about to be unknown because of the turmoil that swept the world.
