Chapter 2 Leave a Root

Zhou Laohan asked again: "At the beginning, when did you lose your memory?"

"It's been about two years. ”

"That's about the time of the Battle of Akiyama. ”

"A little before that. The initial answer.

The Battle of Akiyama was a major battle that took place two years ago near a small hill on the west side of Sakiyama, and that small hill was Akiyama.

"Parents and sisters, elders and old friends at home have no impression at all?"

At first shook his head.

"What about you...... What can you remember?" this is whether Zhou Laohan can remember anything at the beginning of the second inquiry.

At first, he still shook his head, but he quickly said: "I only vaguely remember that the road is very wide, the houses are very high, the ground is very clean, and there are a lot of people......"

That's a big city, Zhou Laohan thought about the big war two years ago, it didn't seem that any big city had been captured, and remembered that he talked about the mountain wolf abducting the little girl at the beginning, and he thought that it was not caused by the war, but human traffickers?

It's really possible, looking at the appearance of the boy wandering for a long time, if it was two or three years ago, at that time it was about eleven or two years old, the traffickers abducted I don't know what means were used to make the beginning forget the past, but I didn't expect the beginning of the strength is not small, after all, it was escaped, and then encountered the Battle of Akiyama two years ago, and it is not surprising that the victims fled eastward and fled to Sakiyama Castle.

After making up for the brain, Zhou Laohan felt more and more pitiful at the beginning, and the two walked on the official road to the west of Qishan City with questions and answers, and slowly came to a fork in the road.

"This is the direction of Lao Han's village, what are your plans?" Zhou Lao Han pointed to the fork in the road and asked with a little expectation.

At the beginning, looking into the distance, I felt confused about the road ahead, and I was a little at a loss for a while.

"Come with me. Zhou Laohan finally said what he thought in his heart, "You have a good body, be my son, I have nothing to rely on, you are wandering, let's be a companion." ”

Although it was a bit abrupt, but at the beginning of the beginning, the population of this world withered, the border area is even more sparsely populated, sometimes there are hundreds of miles of uninhabited, there are really a lot of lonely people like Zhou Laohan, so many people of the right age can be matched with husband and wife, and father and son can be matched with father and son, and only in this way can the village continue, and the population will not be extinct.

"I'm very good at eating. ”

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, no disease and no disaster, so you promised?!"

At first, he thought about it and said, "You are not a wicked person, if you take me in, I will recognize you as my father, and I will not regret it in this life." ”

"It's called Daddy. ”

β€œ...... Father. ”

Zhou Laohan's waist bones were straight, his eyes were shining, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "My son, call Daddy again." ”

"Daddy. At the beginning, my heart was complicated, maybe I had a fate with Zhou Laohan, and since then I have been father and son.

Old Man Zhou was stunned for a while, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, but the light in his eyes was bright.

"Dad, let's go. ”

"My son, don't worry, you're still hungry, I'll go find something to eat with you. Zhou Laohan touched a handful of tears, and at the beginning of his thoughts, he said that he was very edible, but now he must be hungry.

"I'm not hungry. At first, he said that he was not hungry, but his stomach made a gurgling sound, and he smiled embarrassedly.

Zhou Laohan drove the donkey cart to the side of the road, took out a firewood knife from the cart, and said at the beginning of his explanation: "You look at the car, I will come when I go." ”

"Daddy, no. ”

Without waiting for the first stop, Zhou Laohan walked into the woods beside the road and disappeared in a few clicks.

At first he had to wait, he touched the ears of the donkey, and there was nothing to do, and the donkey was very docile and did not struggle.

The sun has been slanting in the west, the young man's heart is very peaceful, at the moment of agreeing to Zhou Laohan, it seems that something has removed the veil, and it seems that there is a bond in the soul, maybe this is the feeling of family.

Zhou Laohan went and not long ago, when he came back, he held a lot of sweet potatoes and wild fruits, the two drove slowly to the mountains along the fork in the road, found a stream halfway, the two washed the sweet potatoes and wild fruits, and ate them cleanly.

During this period, at the beginning, he also washed his face with stream water, revealing a thin face, with bright eyes, which looked slightly older than Zhou Laohan thought, about fourteen years old.

"I've been delayed for a while, and it looks like I'm going to have to rest for the night. Zhou Laohan looked at the sky and said.

The mountain forest at night is a forbidden land, and there are many beasts and dangers buried in the dark jungle, so Zhou Laohan, as a mountain man, will never risk rushing at night.

The two walked all the way, and the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled through the cracks in the trees, making them feel a little warm in late autumn at the beginning.

Zhou Laohan's village is in the mountains, and when returning to the village, you need to climb a few peaks, and the two of them walked to the top of a mountain, and at the beginning they saw a building, dilapidated and old, I don't know how many years it existed, it seemed to be a mountain temple.

"I'll rest here tonight and get up tomorrow morning and go back to the village. ”

At the beginning, he followed Zhou Laohan into the dilapidated mountain temple, the inside was more dilapidated than the outside, the temple gate had long disappeared, leaving only a huge door hole, and the four walls had collapsed to varying degrees, and it seemed that they would fall down at any time.

The temple was overgrown with weeds, and there were piles of broken rubble everywhere, and Zhou Laohan found a corner of the wall, where there were traces of a bonfire, which should have been left by passers-by.

Without waiting for Zhou Laohan to explain, he lit a bonfire at the beginning, and Zhou Laohan unloaded some of the dry firewood on the car with a smile, and it was just right to use it tonight before it was sold.

The sky was getting dark, and Zhou Laohan found a cigarette pot on his waist and smoked it.

"Old man, my name is Zhou Da, I am the eldest son of the old Zhou family, there were three brothers and a younger sister below, two younger brothers died when they were young, and the younger sister was sold when there was a famine, and I don't know where it fell, more than 20 years ago, the village was conscripted, and the men in the whole village went, and my father was your grandfather, me and my younger brother all went......

The old man Zhou, who was immersed in his memories, looked at the bonfire, and seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was telling the fate of the old Zhou family at the beginning.

β€œ...... My brother is a person with ideas, I always want to earn an official and a half position, for the old Zhou family to glorify the ancestors, and rush forward vigorously in the war, my father can't pull it, I also want to glorify the ancestors, but my father disagreed, I had to leave a root, I didn't understand at that time, and then my brother died, no one came back, I don't know where he died, I only understood my father's words at that time, the battle was over, my brother was gone, my father starved to death on the way home, and there were one hundred and two men in the village, and only twelve people went back alive......"

Maybe it's been a long time, or maybe it's because there are too many things like this, at the beginning, I didn't have much feeling with Zhou Laohan, one told it plainly, and the other listened quietly.

Zhou Laohan is a native of the rugged mountains, after the war returned to the village to find that his mother had been dead for several years, since then Zhou Da has lived in this world without relatives and no reason, after a few years Zhou Da married his daughter-in-law, I thought that life was slowly getting better, but the daughter-in-law died of dystocia, a corpse and two lives, the village said that Zhou Da is a lonely star, Zhou Da himself thought so, and after a few years, Zhou Da found that his hair was gray, and his waist was rickety, maybe this is fate, until he met at the beginning, the idea of leaving a root suddenly came out again。

"At the beginning, from now on, you are the only seedling of the old Zhou family, and you must change your surname to Zhou, so you can call Zhou Zhizhi?"

β€œ......”

"You don't need to worry, if you think of anything in the future, you can change it back to your real name and surname, but if you want to leave a son surnamed Zhou, it will not be in vain for you and my father and son, how about it?"

"Don't worry, Daddy, I'll just say yes. At the beginning, he looked at the shadows of the swaying trees outside the temple gate and agreed to Zhou Laohan's request.

At this moment, a thin drizzle of rain fell from the sky, and a howling wind blew through the mountains and forests.

It's raining......

Zhou Laohan unloaded the donkey from the car and pulled it into the temple to hide from the rain, and also gave it the only remaining sweet potatoes and beans to eat.

The corner where the bonfire was lit seemed to be very random, but at the beginning of the week, no raindrops fell, and it seems that passers-by chose this place to light the bonfire for a reason.

The two of them rested around the bonfire, the sky outside the temple was getting dark, and seeing that it was about to be completely dark, Zhou Zhichu suddenly raised his head.

"Daddy, there's movement. ”

"Hmm, what?" Zhou Laohan hung his head in a daze, and when he was still awake from sleep, he was a little unclear when he was woken up.

There was a hissing from far and near in the wind and rain, and it was not slow.

"It's the sound of horses, it's strange to go up the mountain at this time. "Zhou Laohan was a soldier and knew the neighing of horses.

Can be used on the horse, whether it is riding or driving, are not ordinary people, the rain in the sky is not much, but in the night in the rain up the mountain guts is very big.

"My son, remember not to be impulsive, there is no good kind of going up the mountain at this time, be careful. ”

"Hmm. ”

Not long after, I saw two variegated horses each carrying a man roaring into the temple gate. The man on the horse pulled the reins to stop the horse, and then turned over and landed on the ground, all with clean movements.

"Bad rain, it's not the right time. ”

"There are people here. ”

"But Brother Wei, Xiao Wu and I don't know the way and delay ......"

When they came in, they were carrying a small package behind them, and after getting off the horse, they shook off the raindrops on their bodies, and they were sorry loudly, but Zhou Chuchu and Zhou Laohan looked confused.

After shaking off the rain on his body, the two men who came in adapted to the firelight, saw that it was the two of them at the beginning of the week, and the young man called Xiao Wu "choked", pulled out a long knife with a cold light from his waist, and shouted angrily at the two of them.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Another middle-aged man was not in a hurry, he stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Wu, and it seemed that the two of them were dressed at the beginning of the week, and his heart was slightly relaxed.

"I don't know who you are?"

Zhou Laohan stood up and arched his hand: "Old man, I am from Qianshan Village, this is Xiao'er, my father and son have delayed the time to return to the village, and can only rest here for one night. ”

said hello at the beginning of the week, and was ready to leave with the donkey.
