"Sangyu, do you know the south?"

Grandpa put down his chopsticks and asked gently, "The southern climate is pleasant, which is very suitable for the growth of plants." Thousands of years ago, the south was known as the land of fish and rice, and it was the richest place. ”

Sang Yu turned her head to look at her grandfather, she didn't understand why he was telling her this, the climate was pleasant, but there was no grandfather and grandmother there.

"Don't you want to grow crops and build a green home? Why don't you try it in the south? ”

Grandpa's voice was very kind, and he slowly painted a beautiful picture for Sang Yu, and Sang Yu was almost moved by him.

Under the table, Jing Zhan reached out and grabbed Sang Yu's little hand.

Sang Yu glanced at Jing Zhan suspiciously, and then looked at his brother who bowed his head and was silent. She understood a little but didn't quite understand, and only muttered, "I want to be with my grandparents." ”

Lao Meng wanted to speak, but Teacher Chen shook his head and reached out to take Sang Yu's hand: "Sang Yu, you come and take the teacher to see your fruit tree." ”

When he heard that he had gone up to see the fruit trees, Sang Yu immediately stood up happily.

One of her hands was held by the teacher, and the other hand was in Jing Zhan's hand. Sang Yu backhanded Jing Zhan: "Brother Jing Zhan, let's take Teacher Chen to see the fruit trees together." ”

Before Jing Zhan could stand up, Grandpa Meng spoke: "Sangyu, you take Teacher Chen to see the fruit trees, grandpa and his brothers have something to say." ”

Sang Yu led Teacher Chen to the orchard, and Jingtai's gaze lowered slightly, looking at his empty palm. The moment Sang Yu's little hand was withdrawn, his heart suddenly spasmed for some reason.

It hurts a little!

"Did you find all these fruit trees?"

Teacher Chen circled around the pomegranate tree, the grapevine tree, and the walnut tree. The small fruit trees are well protected, stretching their branches and leaves in the abundant sunlight of the back mountain.

"Well, they like me."

The mulberry elm reached out and stroked the leaves of the pomegranate tree, and the leaves of the small fruit tree danced happily and let out one shiver after another.

Teacher Chen's gaze fell on Sang Yu's fingers for a long time before he looked away at another fruit tree: "Then the base is going to the south, do you want to take them with you?" ”

"Why, isn't it good for them to grow here?"

"Then leave them here, there may be many of them in the south."

Sang Yu glanced at Teacher Chen in confusion, didn't Teacher Chen know? Otherwise, how could he say such a thing, many well-known species have disappeared, and neither has the South.

Maybe they didn't disappear, they just hid somewhere else couldn't find them.

Teacher Chen half-squatted down, and looked directly into Sang Yu's eyes: "Sang Yu, are you going to the south with the base?" ”

Sang Yu shook his head: "I don't want to go, I want to be with my grandparents and brothers." ”

"Sang Yu, do you know why the base has to ask you to go to the south?"

"Why?"

"Because the base knows that Jing Zhan has a special ability, if he doesn't go to the south, he will be arrested by the laboratory, do you understand?"

Teacher Chen despised himself a little, and he shamefully took advantage of Jing Zhan in order to deceive Sang Yu to go to the south.

"If you don't go to the south, Jing Zhan won't go either. But the base won't let such a supernatural stay, you understand? ”

Sang Yu began to hesitate, she wanted to say in her heart, I am also an anomaly, but she knows that she can't say it. Grandpa asked her and Jing Zhan to hide, just because he was afraid that they would be arrested by the research institute.

If they were caught by the institute, they would take a long needle every day to draw blood and cut a small piece of flesh for examination.

Teacher Chen couldn't help but shiver when he looked at Sang Yu's small body, and felt a little unbearable.

"The climate in the south is good, there are many rich species, don't you want to go and see it?"

Sang Yu admits that she is moved, she is still a five-year-old child. She wanted to go and see the south, she didn't want to be separated from Jing Zhan's brother, and she didn't want Jing Zhan to stay in Stone City and be arrested by the laboratory for research.

"Grandma, I'll go to the south and I'll be back soon."

Sang Yu hugged her grandmother's arm and leaned her head on her grandmother's arms: "I'll go with my brothers to take a look, maybe there are many species in the south that we don't have here." ”

Grandma Meng touched Sang Yu's little head, her eyes were red, and she replied in a low voice: "Okay." ”

As we all know, this distinction may be goodbye.

Only the naïve Sang Yu thought that she was gone, she could come back, and she could still be by her grandparents' side.

Grandpa Meng deliberately killed a chicken at night, Sang Yu and his brothers ate meat, Xiaobai ate bones, and the big black dog Anu didn't grab bones with Xiao Bai for the first time, it lay there quietly, watching Xiao Bai slowly gnaw on the chicken bones that Sang Yu dropped.

Jing Zhan hesitated for a long time, but still spoke: "I'm going out once at night." ”

Sang Yu asked strangely, "Why, we have to leave tomorrow." ”

"On the other side of the peach grove, there is a col, I think there is something in it, but I have never been in it, and I want to go and see it tonight."

"But ......"

Grandpa smiled and stopped Sang Yu's dissuasion: "If you must want to go, then go and see." Be careful, though, you'll have to go tomorrow. ”

No one knows if they can come back, from now on the mountain is far away, grandpa thinks, just take a look, can't let the child leave regrets for the rest of his life.

Jing Zhan replied respectfully, "I know grandpa." ”

Grandpa looked at Meng Qinghu and Sang Yu again: "Do you want to take the special line to Shicheng early tomorrow morning and follow your father?" ”

Sang Yu looked at Meng Qinghu, Meng Qinghu looked at the other side, and said softly: "No need, Dad will pick us up, right?" If he doesn't have time, we'll follow the convoy in town as well. ”

"It's okay, we'll meet anyway."

Grandpa Meng only sighed softly and patted Grandma Meng's hand: "Don't worry, Yanxuan will come to pick up the children." ”

The original plan was for Meng Yanxuan to pick them up at night, and they followed Meng Yanxuan's Beetle. But Meng Yanxuan didn't come at night, and he wasn't at home in Shicheng, Gina hurriedly packed her things, said goodbye to her parents, and forgot about her three children in District 8.

Maybe she didn't forget, but Meng Yanxuan didn't come back, so what's the use of her remembering.

It was getting darker and darker, and several meteors slipped past the sky.

Jing Zhan stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance, and after a long time, he stretched out his hand and patted Sang Yu's head: "I'll come back tomorrow, don't worry." ”

Meng Qinghu asked again in a low voice: "Can't you not go?" I'm leaving tomorrow. ”

"I have to go, I always feel like there's a secret somewhere. Maybe I can find more seeds for mulberry elm and find fertile and safe soil so that we don't have to leave our grandparents to go south. ”

knew that what Jing Zhan said was not true, but it seemed to comfort everyone. Meng Qinghe took Sang Yu's hand and stood back, watching Jing Zhan flap his wings and fly into the dark sky.

"Brother, are Brother Jing Zhan's wings getting bigger and bigger?"

"Yes, he's very powerful, and in just a few months, he's already the strongest student in the school."

Sang Yu looked at the direction in which Jing Zhan disappeared, and said in a low voice after a long time: "Brother Jing Zhan will come back, right?" ”

Meng Qinghu affirmed: "Yes, of course he will, he still wants to protect Sang Yu to go south." ”

Everyone knows that Jing Zhan, the elder brother, has done better than Meng Qinghu, and he will never leave Sang Yu.

On the second day, after packing up everything, the sun gradually set in the west, and Jing Zhan had not yet returned.

In the past, Jing Zhan also had a time to go out for a night and a day. But this time, he knew that he was going to leave in the evening, and he hadn't come back yet, so something was wrong.

Did something happen to him?

Grandpa Meng didn't dare to think about it, he looked at Sang Yu, who was humming a song, and didn't understand that separation was imminent and might never see each other again, was putting a small red dress into the box.

"Grandpa, should I bring winter clothes?"

Sang Yu asked in a loud voice, thinking that they were just going on a trip, just like sometimes Jing Zhan took her to follow the Self-Defense Forces to other towns to collect supplies.

Let's go now and come back after the New Year.

"Grandpa, if Brother Jing Zhan doesn't come back, we will leave first, and you will let him fly over to find us."

Grandpa Meng touched Sang Yu's butterfly braid: "Okay, when Brother Jingzhan comes back, I'll let them chase you." ”

Meng Qinghu put the sorted things on the table and asked softly, "Grandpa, aren't we waiting for Jing Zhan?" ”

"We can't wait, if we go too late in the eighth district, we will pull too far away from the people in front, and it will be easy to encounter danger."

Grandpa Meng stood up and helped Sang Yu pick up the package: "Let's go, grandpa will send you." ”

Grandma Meng picked up the box on the side and handed it to Sang Yu: "This is the salt beans that grandma fried for you, eat them on the way." ”

Sang Yu looked at the box full of salt beans in the transparent box, and his eyes were slightly red. She knew that all the shriveled beans at home that could not be planted had been eaten by her, and this box of plump fried soybeans must have been taken by her grandmother from her grandfather's seeds.

Seeing Sang Yu sneaking a glance at him with his spare eyes, Grandpa Meng's old face turned red, pretended not to see it, picked up Sang Yu's backpack and tidied it up again.

"Grandma, Brother Jing Zhan is back, you must let him catch up with us, our convoy is along the main road, it is easy to find."

"I know, I'll tell him when Jing Zhan comes back."

"Grandpa, if Brother Jing Zhan comes back, you must not scold him, he must have something to delay, not on purpose not to come back."

Grandpa Meng pretended to be deliberately angry: "This kid, if he is disobedient, I will definitely beat him up when I come back." ”

Sang Yu hurriedly hugged his grandfather's arm: "Then grandpa, you beat it lightly, don't delay Brother Jing Zhan's journey." ”

"Got it." Grandpa pinched Sang Yu's nose: "Don't worry, maybe as soon as you wake up, Jing Zhan will catch up with you." ”

Jing Zhan flew very fast, and he didn't forget to train himself when he went to Shicheng.

Because he was particularly powerful, the school also talked to Meng Yanxuan and gave him special training, and he was trained as the best soldier in the base.

Now, he has gone out and has not returned, and the base self-defense force has been delayed by an hour because of him, and he can't be delayed in time.

Hearing the assembly whistle in the town, Sang Yu took her grandmother's arm and walked out: "Grandma let's go." ”

The square of the town was full of old people.

When she went out, she looked back at the hill again, and she was about to leave here, leaving her grandparents. Everyone thought she didn't know, but in fact, she knew, grandparents and other old people were abandoned.

Because they are old, they can't contribute much more to the base.

Sang Yu knew that no matter how much trouble she had, she would have to leave with the convoy at the base.

Then she will leave well, without crying or making trouble. She's going to the south, set up a real farm, and then take her grandparents.

"Grandma."

Sang Yu hugged her grandmother's neck and whispered, "You ask Brother Jing Zhan to come quickly, we will wait for him"

"Okay, grandma got it."

Grandma Meng only sent Sang Yu and Xiaohu out of the protective shield of the hill, and then no longer sent them to the town. She is getting older, and her legs and feet can no longer go far.
