Chapter 1: Li Ersil

Next Chapter

Donghuangdao, Nanjun County, Beiping Village, is a small mountain village with a population of less than 100 people, this small village is deep in the mountains for five miles, surrounded by mountains, few people know, only a small river, communicating with the outside world.

This year, as in previous years, the mountains were covered with heavy snow in winter, and even the water of this small river could not flow out of this mountainous area.

The remnant sun was like blood, illuminating the small mountain village covered with snow into blood red, and in a red glow, the middle-aged people who went out hunting returned to the village in twos and threes.

At this time, in the village, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a pair of trousers and naked, was lying on the surface of the river in the middle of the ice and snow.

This situation can't help but remind people of the story of lying on the ice and begging for carp, but the fact is:

"Two fools, it's hot on your body again?" An adult boy who returned from hunting, holding a snow hare in his left hand and a hunting fork in his right hand, saw the young man lying in the frozen river, he was not surprised at all, and greeted casually.

"Yes, it's uncomfortable to be hot, and it's cool and cool down. It seems that Second Brother Li is going hungry again today? Lying in the frozen river, the shirtless young man, grinning widely, did not care about this man calling himself a fool, and still lay down and answered casually.

Looking at the appearance of Second Brother Li coming back on the riverbank, today's harvest is not much, if there are two or three people in the family, this thing is not even enough to fill the stomach.

"Go, go, go, Lao Tzu has food in his house, how can he be hungry?" In this barren mountain village, it is a matter of great pride that the family has food in stock two months after the onset of winter.

So when the second brother Li said this, he even raised his chin proudly, and after he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew, and he gathered his thick clothes from the cold, and then walked towards the dilapidated small mountain village without stopping.

In this cold and freezing ghost weather, no matter how thick the clothes are, walking around the mountains will be frozen into dogs.

The boy was lying in the glacier, and there was already a pool of melted ice water under his body, and half of his body was already soaked in this water. If someone approached and touched the puddle of water, they would definitely find that in this icy and snowy place, the puddle of water under the young man had been burned by his body temperature.

"This ghost body, this ghost exercises, this is Lao Tzu's life!" When the sun had completely set and it was completely dark, the boy got up from the river.

He washed his face with the water that had been boiled by his own body temperature, returned to the riverbank, took up the clothes on the ground, and put them on his shoulders without putting them on his body, and walked in the direction of the small mountain village.

After passing through several houses to the door of the small family closest to the mountain in this small mountain village, the young man pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

At this time, in the thatched hut in the middle, there were already two people sitting at a table at the main entrance, and there was a bowl of vegetables on the small square table, and a lamp was lit.

In the dim light, the two seemed to be talking to something. The older one is the young man's father is named Li Gui, and the younger one is the young man's eldest brother named Li Tong.

"Big brother, Dad!" The boy walked in with his clothes on, threw his clothes on the chair, said hello and sat down.

"Brother is back!" The young Li Tong glanced at the young man enviously and said hello casually.

looked at Li Gui again: "Dad, tell me, how about it?" ”

"Are you really willing to marry into this poor and remote place? If she really agrees, then settle it. I'll start walking a little further into the mountains, save some things, and come to the door in a few days. ”

When Li Gui heard the news, he smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Why go a little bit to the mountains, this damn weather, if you go a little farther, you won't be able to come back." A woman was carrying a bowl of vegetables, and before anyone could walk in, her voice reprimanded, this woman was the mother of the young man, named Yixue.

She felt that she had waited for so many years, and she was not in a hurry to wait for this month or two, and when the winter passed, the weather improved a little, and the wind and snow were not so heavy, it was not too late to talk about it.

When I walked into this room, I saw the young man sitting at the dinner table shirtless. Hurriedly walked a few steps and put the dishes and chopsticks in his hand on the dining table:

"You dead boy, it's snowy here, and you don't wear some of it." As he spoke, he threw the clothes that the boy had abandoned on the chair into the boy's arms.

"It's okay, tomorrow, I'll take the second fool with me, if I'm really frozen, let him carry me back." Li Gui opened his mouth with a smile, and looked at the young man between words, with a deep envy.

Only a person like him, who walks in the mountains all the year round and is frozen like a dog every day, can deeply understand how happy it is to have a body that is not afraid of the cold.

"Okay!" Li Ersil hurriedly replied, yes, this young man is really called Ersil, of course, this is also a milk name, as for why it is called Ersil, he~ Poor and remote, the name is cheap and easy to feed.

Of course, when the boy reaches the age of sixteen, he will have to take another official name.

"Go, don't say you can't go, even if you can go. There is a fart when people carry it back, and when you lie on the bed, you don't want the old lady to serve you. And then what? Our family drank the northwest wind and went. Yi Xue slapped Li Ersilly, who was coaxing, with her hand, she didn't give up, but she quickly put the dishes and chopsticks in her hands, knocked on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, and signaled that the meal was open.

"Which family in our village didn't come here like this?" Li Gui didn't say anything more, and muttered back.

In this poor and remote country, which family did not put his life on the belt of his pants in order to take his daughter-in-law.

Li Tong looked at Li Ersilly, thinking that he was only four months away from adulthood, and opened his mouth several times to speak, but in the end there was no speech, and then the dinner table fell silent.

When the meal was finished, it was cleaned up quickly, and everyone dispersed, and went back to their own rooms.

Li Ersil returned to his room, lay on the cold kang, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, not because it was freezing, but because he was thinking about Li Tong.

Li Tong is twenty-three years old this year, and logically speaking, he should have been married a long time ago, but because of poverty, it has been delayed until now.

Now it's hard for someone to fall in love with him if he's not too poor, and the two are also in love, but they can't be held back because of money.

Of course, in this eastern wilderness, in this desolation, there is no money or money, according to the customs of the past, it is enough to have a wild boar. If there can be a blind bear as a dowry, it is really a beautiful marriage.

Of course, this condition seems simple, but it is not so easy to obtain. It's just a wild boar, and after going deep into the mountains, you can always encounter it if you squat for a day or two.

But whether they can catch it or not, they said that it is not something that an ordinary person can do if they bring it back after they are caught.

Thinking of this, Li Ersil couldn't help but think of his original world, in that technologically advanced world, let alone a wild boar. Even ten wild boars are easy to bring out of the mountains.

Yes, this Li Er is not a person from this world, no, it should be said that this two stupid souls, he is not from this world......

Anyway, he couldn't sleep, Li Er simply got up, pushed open the courtyard door and walked up the mountain, at this time the night was deep, the moonlight was hazy, and with the snow all over the field, I could see a rough idea.

Climbing all the way, speeding all the way, on this snow-covered mountain, Li Ersil walked as fast as he walked on the ground. After climbing over two smaller mountains, Li Ersil climbed to the highest peak in this large mountain.
