On this day, after Song Jiliu and Fu were separated from Wang Mai, they dragged very heavy steps into Shahe Town, which was shrouded in twilight.

Since they escaped from the clutches of the big villain Qin Rurui, they have been looking for Aunt Li and their relatives in the Rong family everywhere. Today, when they walked into Shahe Town in the southwest region of Ganyu, a middle-aged man carrying a shovel was walking towards the wheat field at the edge of the village.

There is a section of the ridge on the edge of the wheat field that has not been laid. The middle-aged man came to the side of this clod of soil, first put the dry food at noon on the edge of the field, then took off his torn cotton jacket, grabbed the shovel and dried it. Song Jiliu stepped up and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Borrow, I want to ask you about someone-"

"Who?"

"It's a woman who asks for food. Around fifty years old. There is a large black mole on the right side of the brain. Black and white hair is about half ......"

Song Jiliu said a lot quickly, and the middle-aged man frowned and shook his head, and got back to work. At this time, a familiar back appeared under the willow tree on the other side of the river. She held the trunk of the tree with one hand and the bright shed with the other, looking around, and kept calling "duck, mile" in her mouth.

A flock of ducks foraging by the river galloped towards their owners with their paws.

"Duck, mile! ……”

Ay! Why is this sound so familiar? Who could this be? Song Jiliu listened intently while churning in his brain. At the same time, his two legs involuntarily moved towards the voice.

He walked and thought, thinking about walking, and suddenly, he didn't even get his head into the water, and he took several mouthfuls of water. Jiliu realized that he was in the water and swam desperately to the other side.

Fu saw Song Jiliu go into the water in Rong, and shouted desperately in the back, but he didn't stop the "obsessed" Jiliu, so he had to turn to a small wooden bridge, trying to cross the river to catch up with Jiliu, but he still lost himself.

Following the willow swimming to the shore, there is a large willow tree not far away. Although he saw the face of the old aunt, he felt that the aunt's figure was very familiar at a glance. At this moment, the aunt disappeared in a flash. When Song Jiliu ran over in a hurry, he never found the shadow of the old aunt again.

Song Jiliu stood by the willow tree and started to come in a daze. Suddenly, he saw a duck enter the door of a house, and thought, "This duck may be Aunt Li's family!" So he came to the door of the house and quietly looked inside.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm looking for Aunt Li!"

"There is no old aunt surnamed Li here!" A middle-aged "Zhu Bajie" spoke to Jiliu in a vigilant tone, and then, pushed Song Jiliu out of the door, closed the door with a bang, and plugged the latch in casually. Song Jiliu held his breath and returned to the big willow tree. At this time, another male duck went north, and he took a few steps after the duck, and he tried his luck after him.

Song Jiliu followed closely for a while, and two red gates appeared in front of him. After a while, a little rich man came out of it, pointed at Jiliu and shouted: "This little guy wants to eat and flowers, and he wants to steal his mouth!" Then he picked up a brick and threw it out.

Song Jiliu didn't want to talk to them, so he stomped his feet and walked towards the big willow tree. Then, he was stunned for a moment. Seeing that it was getting dark, I finally had to leave with tears in my eyes.

Is that old aunt Aunt Li? Yes - she is the Aunt Li that Song Jiliu is looking for day and night. How did Aunt Li come to Shahe Town? It turned out that when she was desperate, she found an old wife in Shahe Town, named Tian Dali.

Tian Dali is a peddler who sells salt brine. Because there is no decent means of transportation, now I rely on a flat pole, a box, a broken wicker basket, and a few oil terminals (a liquid measuring tool), running around for four episodes, earning a few dollars and living a poor life.

For several months, Jiliu's shadow kept shaking in front of Aunt Li's eyes, and Jiliu's voice kept echoing in her ears. Occasionally, when a child cries on the street, she always has to look outside the gate for a while, and while watching, she thinks, "Is Jiliu coming to find Auntie?" When she left the gate disappointed, she couldn't help but say to herself, "Alas, how could Jiliu find here!" Poor bitter boy, I don't know where it has fallen now! ”

Suddenly, there was a wild barking of a dog outside the window, mixed with the wild laughter of a child. Aunt Li shivered excitedly, and quickly ran to the gate to look. Although Tian Dali and Aunt Li are not married, they have been touching a spoon in a pot for several months. Although he can't say that he understands all of his wife's behavior, he can also see that she will not have the leisure to watch the children fight dogs! Tian Dali was puzzled, and Aunt Li was already crying at the gate.

"Mom, what's wrong with you today?"

When Jing Tian Dali asked, Aunt Li could no longer suppress the floodgates of her inner feelings, turned her face to her wife and said, "I still have a child......

"Great! Where is it? ”

"On the street—"

Tian Dali ran to the gate and looked at the place where the man shouted at the dog, and saw a child in tattered clothes under the big willow tree, who was fighting with the big black dogs of the two landlords' houses. The boy was already bloody, but he didn't cry or howl, and he was still punching and kicking and fighting with the vicious dogs......

The landlord cubs standing at the gate of the landlord were laughing wildly and screaming, happily watching such a big drama of the war between man and beast.

As soon as Tian Dali saw this tragic scene, his nose became sour, and the fire followed. With his enthusiasm, he forgot about his serious illness, ran to the big willow tree in one go, punched the big black dog away, and picked up the son of the hero of the green forest, Song Jiliu, from the pool of blood.

Tian Dali hugged Jiliu and walked back to his house. As he walked, he said apologetically to Jiliu in his arms with tears in his eyes: "Good boy, it's all to blame Uncle I'm late!" ”

Song Jiliu flashed his eyes with a god, and looked at this venerable uncle stupidly. From his kind and sparkling eyes, Jiliu left a good impression of shrewdness and competence and a sense of security after a long absence.

Song Jiliu asked with great gratitude: "Old man, who are you?" ”

Tian Dali was stunned for a moment and said, "I am a poor man who is oppressed by bad people!" ……”

On a country road paved with yellow sand and small ditches on both sides, two pedestrians dressed in the sunset are walking one after the other. The young man who was carrying a green bamboo tree in the back ran a few steps, caught up with the old man in front of him who was carrying the salt brine burden, and said in a pleading tone: "Uncle Tian, let me exercise the burden, right?" ”

"Jiliu, you're still young!" Uncle Tian changed his shoulders and said, "When you grow up and your waist is strong, this burden on the uncle's body will be handed over to you......"

Jiliu looked at Uncle Tian's difficult steps, and felt very sad in his heart, and couldn't help but tell himself: "Jiliu, you have to listen to the words of adults, grow up quickly, and strive to pick up the burden of the whole family one day sooner!" ”
