In a deep mountain somewhere in Anhui Province, there is a dense group of villages with more than 200 families.

It is not as barren as the villages in Jiangxi, on the contrary, this village group is close to the national highway, although it is not prosperous, but it is also prosperous, and there is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going.

This was originally a village surnamed Sun, called Sunjia Village.

As a result, because of the large number of merchants who came and went, the currency circulation was convenient, and the next village gradually approached Sunjia Village, gradually forming a village group with more than 200 households, so it was later renamed "Baijia Village".

At the entrance to Baijia Village, there is a stone archway of three rooms and four pillars in the sky.

The stone archway is white as a whole, and it looks like a huge white jade material from a distance. The pillars are carved with golden dragons and jade phoenixes, which are very magnificent. There are three floors in the stone archway, the lofty pavilion is towering, the floor is high, there is a red pen to write the big characters of "Baijia Village" three dragons flying and phoenix dancing.

There were two teenagers standing under the stone archway, one looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, a brown belt two fingers wide around his waist, and a three-point overall.

It's a very casual short haircut, and it's almost catching up with the inch. is about 1.7 meters, with a well-defined face that seems to be a little stubborn.

His eyebrows are thick, his eyes are like ink, his thin lips are slightly pursed, he was originally a handsome face, but he always felt that a thick layer of frost had condensed on his face, and it seemed that if he was a little closer to him, he could feel the cold air that was thousands of miles away.

Well, in today's terms, it's a cold look.

The other teenager is in his early twenties.

Dressed the same as the cold boy.

It's just that his black and white eyes look clean and pure, as if not a speck of dust has fallen. The crooked eyebrows and the eyes that bend into a crescent moon when he smiles look very sunny.

The cold young man put his hands in the pockets of his pants, leaned on the pillar of the stone archway with a hangy look, and said to the sunny boy: "Why is the crazy old man so slow to buy a few bottles of water?" ”

The sunshine boy smiled and didn't speak, just kept looking at the stone archway.

Suddenly, a hand knocked on the head of the cold young man with lightning speed, accompanied by a lazy voice: "After the mission, go back and recite the Tao Te Ching fifty times in front of me!" ”

That's right, that young man who looks very cold is me, the senior brother of the nameless mountain character line-Zhang Zhengyi!

And that sunny boy is the second senior brother of the nameless Yimai Shanzi - Yin Shanyue!

The one who knocked on my head just now was the descendant of our nameless lineage of the older generation of mountain characters - Chen Jidao, also known as the crazy old man by me!

I rubbed the door of my head that was hurt by the crazy old man, and I didn't dare to say anything.

The crazy old man smashed two bottles of water for me and Yin Shanyue, and said angrily: "Let your master buy water to serve you, so you are not afraid of thunder and thunder?" ”

I took the water and said, "Who made you lose to the two of us in the car?" If you are willing to gamble, you will have to admit defeat. ”

This mission happened to coincide with me and Brother Yinshan's summer vacation, so the crazy old man brought the two of us with him.

More than three hours by train, plus more than an hour by car, it is still relatively easy to get bored.

And on the way, the crazy old man didn't explain what the task was, and in order to pass the time, the crazy old man played chess with the two of us.

Since I was a child, I have liked to play chess under the influence of the crazy old man, and although Brother Yinshan started relatively late, he gradually fell in love with chess under the guidance of me and the crazy old man.

At the beginning, Brother Yinshan and I were often killed by the crazy old man without leaving a piece of armor, without any backhand power, and often only one lone commander was left in the palace. But later, whether it's one-on-one or one-on-two, the crazy old man can't win against us.

No, on the train, the crazy old man lost to us.

The crazy old man strictly forbade the two of us to gamble, and the chess on the train was just to pass the time.

You can't gamble, you can't bet, so let's have a lottery, so the jackpot is, whoever loses goes to buy water.

And the crazy old man was so stunned by my words that he didn't know what to say to refute, but if he didn't refute, it was not the style of the crazy old man, he squinted his eyes and glanced at me lightly, and said, "A hundred times the Tao Te Ching." ”

I was still smiling triumphantly, but when I heard the crazy old man's words, I immediately shuddered.

I looked at Brother Yinshan for help, but Brother Yinshan looked at me and smiled, shook his head and didn't speak.

I stared at Brother Yinshan angrily, and my mind went back to the moment when he first moved into my house.

Brother Yinshan, who just came to my house, is like a timid little rabbit, he is 100,000 vigilant against the crazy old man, my parents, and my every move, and he doesn't get close to us, and he doesn't talk all day long.

Brother Yinshan's apprenticeship ceremony was held at my house, and my parents were also present at the time. After that, my parents were pulled aside by the crazy old man and told them about Brother Yinshan's life experience, and wanted to take him in at home permanently.

My parents naturally agreed, Brother Yinshan's tuition is jointly responsible for several uncles and uncles, and the crazy old man also said that he will take out part of his salary, half of which will be used for Brother Yinshan's tuition, and half for my parents, which is considered food expenses.

But my parents refused.

In my mother's words: "Brother Chen arranged for our family to live in the city, Lao Zhang also has a formal job, and I usually help people sew and mend to earn some household money, so why am I embarrassed to ask for Brother Chen's money again?" This cub (the meaning of this boy) is also pitiful, he has no parents at a young age, and you are responsible for the tuition, with the conditions of our family, he is responsible for the food, drink and clothing of the child in Yinshan Yue or the problem of absurdity (no meaning). ”

So Brother Yinshan officially settled in my house. I had a room with me, for which my parents specially bought an iron-framed double bed, I slept in the top bunk, and Brother Yinshan slept in the lower bunk.

Even the table in my room was cleverly split in two by my dad and then made into two tables.

After that, the crazy old man and my parents treated Brother Yinshan better than me, and the delicious, fun, and beautiful clothes were all Brother Yinshan's.

Then Brother Yinshan entered the school, and his academic performance was so good that he didn't know where to go, and the top three in the school would always have Brother Yinshan's name, and when I reached junior high school, my academic performance gradually declined, although it was not at the bottom, but it could only rise and fall in the middle.

And Brother Yinshan's talent in the mountain character vein is very high, and he has practiced the method of the mountain character vein passed down by his family before, so compared to me, he has a foundation.

As a result, he learned the magic and traveled 108,000 miles faster than me. Often a spell taught to me by a crazy old man, before I could figure it out, Brother Yinshan was already able to practice it in the world of contemplation.

So Brother Yinshan became a positive teaching material, and was often talked about by the crazy old man and my parents to discipline me.

I was often resentful at first, but then I ...... I compromised.

Because Brother Yinshan's diligence stimulated me, whether it was in learning or learning techniques, I also began to be diligent and hard working for a period of time.

But whenever I become diligent, Brother Yinshan is more diligent than me, I slowly figured it out, I will never be able to catch up with Brother Yinshan's pace, so I compromised, until now, the crazy old man and my parents use Brother Yinshan to train me, I can also be inaudible, and then sing cheekily......

Later, with the increase of age, Brother Yinshan's personality is much more cheerful than before, although he still doesn't like to talk much, but he has become smiling, and he will no longer be the same as before, and he looks very vigilant when he sees people.

But I could feel that there was always a door closed inside him, and that door, even I, who had been with him for eight years, could not open.

"I haven't seen you for eight years, and the heir of the dignified mountain has become a gangster? You, senior brother, should let me be the one. ”

Suddenly a voice interrupted my memory, and I knew who it was by listening to the style of the speech.

I looked in the direction from which the voice came, and a man who looked older than the mad old man, dressed in a navy blue robe, came slowly. Beside him, there was also a teenager who was about the same age as Brother Yinshan.

The person who looked older than the crazy old man at that age was Jiang Shibo.

I haven't seen him for eight years, and Uncle Jiang doesn't seem to have changed much from him eight years ago in my memory, still with that pair of gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, like the bookish majesty of a university professor.

And the person who followed him was the person who had just spoken, that is, Brother Zhengren, whom he hadn't seen for eight years!

Brother Zhengren no longer wears glasses, and his whole person is more delicate than when he was a child.

The eye sockets are deep-set, there is a feeling of Xinjiang people, coupled with the towering nose bridge and cyan stubble, when he was a child, he had a childish bookish atmosphere and now it has completely exuded, there is no immature feeling at all, only a mature bookish atmosphere.

I watched Uncle Jiang and Brother Zhengren slowly approach, my lazy appearance leaning on the pillar remained unchanged, the corners of my mouth were slightly upturned, and I smiled, thinking in my heart: This kid is becoming more and more like a little white face!

I was thinking in my heart, Uncle Jiang and the others stood in front of us, and Brother Yinshan and I respectfully shouted: "Uncle Jiang! ”

Almost at the same time, Brother Zhengren also shouted "Uncle Chen" to the crazy old man.

Uncle Jiang and the crazy old man nodded at the same time.

Then I said to Brother Zhengren: "I don't! ”

Brother Zhengren pretended to hit me, and a soft punch hit my shoulder, and the two of us looked at each other, and then laughed very tacitly.

After laughing, Brother Zhengren raised his hand and patted Brother Yinshan's shoulder, and only after a long time did he say, "Long time no see." ”

In just four words, I can hear Brother Zhengren's emotions of missing Brother Yinshan, you must know that Brother Yinshan only expressed affection to Brother Zhengren at the beginning, and he was alienated and defensive from others.

Although until now, I don't know the reason, but I saw the corners of Brother Yinshan's mouth twitching, and something seemed to be rolling in his eyes, and it took a long time to reply: "Long time no see." ”

When these four words were spoken, they were full of choked voices.
