"When you return, will the countryside be ruined? Both self-conscious and self-serving, melancholy and sad. Realize that the past is not learned, and those who know the future can be traced. When the time is lost, it is not far away, and I feel that today is and yesterday is not ......"

In a hut in the suburbs of Xiangyang City, a child's voice was babbling this "Return Speech" by Jin Taoyuan Ming Jushi. Beside him, there sat a woman of twenty-eight or nineteen, who presumably was his mother. His mother was making him a pair of shoes, with delicate needles and threads—the needles in her hands were still skillfully and comfortably held on the soles, but her heart seemed to have drifted into the distance:

"Come back, please rest and leave for a trip, the world is contrary to me, and I will ask for ...... again"

When the familiar words appeared in her ears, her expression suddenly became distant. Yes, "The world is contrary to me, and I will ask for it again"? She couldn't help but hear Yue Zheng's voice in her head - when Yue Zheng was still alive, it was rare to have official leisure, and occasionally when they met, their husband and wife would sit together, burn a small Tibetan incense in a golden furnace, and be quiet for a moment. At that time, Yue Zheng read the most was this "Words of Return". Looking back now, everything feels like a dream. The countryside is also a dream of the two of them, and now, she is in this countryside, but her body is already the body that woke up from the dream, and the person who once wanted to dream with her is no longer there.

Pei Honglian's eyes were wet, she was not used to letting her children see her teary eyes, although she knew that Xiaozhi's mind was now all in the book, she still unconsciously turned her head to the side, so that he couldn't notice her face. - How long has it been since you came out of Chang'an City? It's been almost two months, right? It has been more than two months since Old Man Yu used the "Daguan Knife" to fight for her old age and disperse the tragic pursuit of her mother and son by "Dongmi". They first traveled to Xiangyang, and after making sure that no one was following him, Old Man Yu left her mother and son in this "Qijia Village", and took Er Bing on the road alone. He said that the more tragic pursuit was still to come, and he was no longer able to lead her mother and son to face the endless pursuit of "Dongmi", so he went on the road alone to confuse the enemy, and took the opportunity to find his friend Lu Mad, in the hope of getting his help.

The days in the village are a rare rest, both for her and for Xiaozhi. She really admired the old man in her heart - it was rare for her to meet such an enthusiastic old man in such a troubled world. When the village was idle, she began to supervise Xiaozhi to review the books his father had taught him. After all kinds of hardships, she didn't know how to guide this child's life: Becoming a teacher? Looking at his father's end, as a mother, she never wants to do it anymore; What about martial arts? Like Old Man Yu, roaming the rivers and lakes? She is also tired of the bloody wind and rain in the rivers and lakes; But Xiaozhi, the child of Xiao Yuzheng, the iron-bone imperial history, can he retire for life and work as a farmer? Can you? She is unwilling, and her husband under the spring will not be willing!

When he started sitting there and was forced to study by his mother, he was very reluctant. He really wanted to go and play with his new buddy Wuyuer. But after reading for a while, I read "...... Or the life towel car, or the lonely boat, both slender to find the ravine, rugged and climb the hill, Mu Xinxin to glory, the spring trickling and the beginning of the flow...... "to" ...... When the peasants told Yu Yichun and that there would be something to do in Xichou ......", a heart read it.

This article was originally read by him when he was in Chang'an. He has been a well-behaved and intelligent child since he was a child, and he doesn't let his parents worry about everything, but he is also lonely, and the four corners of the courtyard wall of Chang'an City Merit Square limit his sky. His father told him to memorize a lot of words, but he didn't understand or understand the exact meaning of those sentences. But recently, he has lived in the countryside for more than two months, and the mountains and rivers on the outskirts of Xiangyang are beautiful, and many sentences that he did not understand in the past suddenly became plump and bright in his heart. yes, it's beautifully written! If he hadn't experienced it himself, he might never have understood the true meaning of those words for the rest of his life. The children in the city are pitiful at this point, they always live in second-hand information, no matter the articles and poems, the crops and livestock, and the hardships of material resources, in their hearts it is just an indoctrination concept. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, everything came alive in his heart - then a child's voice suddenly shouted outside the window: "Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, have you finished your studies?" Came out to play. ”

He was called an eleven or twelve-year-old child. Pei Honglian looked at the window, and saw that the child had slightly dark skin and good facial features, which was Xiaozhi's new friend. There are seven families with surnames living in this "Qijia Village", Peng, Liu, Feng, Yang, Xu, Lu, and Hua, according to Old Man Yu, these families are the survivors of the dart masters who died in his early years in the "Weizheng Dart Bureau", and they are also a group of women and children who he has devoted himself to supporting in the past 29 years.

The surname of the five leftovers is Feng, and the physique is much stronger than Xiaozhi, and I like Xiaozhi the most, a child who can study in the city, and the two of them go out every day, Yutou Sandi, and the river goes down in the mountains, and they have the most fun.

I only heard Xiaozhi smile and said, "It's over." Then he looked back at his mother, "Am I going to get out?" ”

Pei Hongli smiled and nodded, and Xiaozhi jumped out.
