This year's Chinese New Year's Eve, exceptionally cold!

In the land of Qianzhong, an ancient and closed village, a courtyard, at this moment, the voices of people are boiling, and the lights are colorful.

A thin figure, unkempt, ragged, and muddy feet, staggered to the mountain gate.

It was a little boy, no more than seven or eight years old.

In front of the cottage, he shivered in the wind.

"Mom, will you be here? I've been looking for you for a year! ”

He looked around, at the looming slate house in the stockade, at the wisps of cooking smoke rising from the slate house, he hesitated, and finally, next to a large stone, stopped.

He didn't dare to go in!

Because, here, is Longtan Village!

I heard that the people in this village are all Buyi people, and they are very fierce!

He was afraid, afraid of being beaten!

He was scared, and now, his body is still full of bruises!

"Mom, where are you! I'm so cold! I am hungry! ”

He crouched down, curled up in a ball, and leaned against the big rock.

However, the clothes on his body were torn everywhere, and he couldn't withstand the cold wind, and he tried to cover the hole here with his hand, and that place was exposed again.

His hands, his face, and his flesh exposed to the cold wind were white, blue, and purple from the cold.

He's so cold!

Unable to hold back any longer, suddenly, he stood up and took a step.

The next moment, he stopped again.

He's still hesitating!

Looking at the mountains behind the stockade, he looked like a beast and a big worm, with his mouth wide open, waiting for him to enter and tear him to pieces.

However, he was too hungry, too cold, and it was getting dark, and he didn't want to freeze to death and starve to death on the side of the street for the Chinese New Year.

Here, except for Longtan Village, there are mountains and forests everywhere, and there are no more people, so he doesn't dare to spend the night on the roadside.

That big, cold stone didn't give him a sense of security.

He can't die, he hasn't found his mother yet.

"It's better to be beaten to death than to starve to death and freeze to death!"

He gritted his teeth, took another step, and staggered.

The thin figure trembled and stepped into Longtan Village.

He walked in!

He saw a large courtyard, surrounded by pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water.

And most importantly, in the middle of the yard, there, there is a fire!

A whole lot of fire, it's burning!

Around the fire, men, women and children were around, they were dressed in blue and white flower clothes, holding flower handkerchiefs, they were singing and dancing around the vigorous fire.

"The clothes of the Buyi tribe are so beautiful!" The little boy said enviously.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally made up his mind and ran towards the fire with all the strength he had.

He craves warmth! Very hungry!

His steps were getting faster and closer, and he was getting closer and closer to the fire.

"Smack!"

Just then, a cloud of mud flew in and smashed into his face.

"Where did you come from, you are not welcome here!" It was a little boy, shouting loudly.

At this moment, all eyes fell on the little boy who was trembling.

Among them, in one corner, there was a man, a teenager with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he did not wear the green clothes of the Buyi people, he sat alone under the eaves of a house, and when he heard the shouting, he put down the book in his hand.

"I ...... I'm here to find my mother! The little boy, dressed in rags, staggered back.

However, at this moment, no one in the entire compound stepped forward to help him.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

The thin mud flew towards him, smashing him all over his body.

The emaciated body fell to the ground.

As soon as he got up, he saw a group of children lunging at him, punching and kicking him.

He fell again!

He didn't beg for mercy, he didn't fight back, he didn't say a word, and he endured it silently.

"Mom, you don't want me anymore, Xiao Yong will never see you again! No matter where you are, you have to be in good health! ”

The little boy rolled on the ground, feeling only dizzy in his head, and he felt that he might die and never see his mother again.

This is the only cry in his heart!

He called out to his mother, and he shouted, and he shouted......

Suddenly, he felt a lightness in his body...... Rolling over, he opened his eyes.

Only then did he realize that the group of children who had beaten him had retreated far away and took the initiative to give way to him.

He saw that there was a big brother, walking towards him step by step.

The big brother, he was wearing the clothes of the Han family, holding a book, he didn't say a word, but every time he took a step, the people in front of him would take the initiative to get out of the way, regardless of men, women and children.

The little boy in ragged clothes, all of a sudden, his eyes lit up.

This big brother is so handsome!

The people here seem to be afraid of him!

And, he's coming to himself.

Just when the little boy began to get nervous and nervous, that person had already come to him.

"Are you alright?" It was the first thing he said, calm and calm, not like a ten-year-old.

The little boy nodded, then shook his head hurriedly, not daring to speak.

"This is Longtan Village, the New Year's Festival, outsiders passing by, it is unwelcome, and it will be beaten by the mud! Whoever it is! "Little one, where are you from, and what are you doing here?" ”

"I ...... I'm here to find my mother! The little boy said, "My mother is gone, I've been looking, I've been looking, I've been looking for a long, long time, big brother, I don't remember where my home is!" ”

"Can you stand up?" The visitor asked.

The little boy struggled to get up, but before he could hold himself up, he fell to the ground, and this was repeated several times until he finally stood firm.

Just when he was at a loss, there was a hand, already holding his hand.

"Well done!" The visitor smiled and patted the child on the shoulder, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Zheng Yong!" The little man whispered.

"My name is Wu Zhiyuan!" He clasped his hand and laughed, "Go, come home with me, from now on, you are my brother!" I promise, no one will dare to bully you! ”

"Brother Yuan!" Zheng Yong had tears in his eyes and nodded vigorously.

He pulled him by the hand and walked forward.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, he was blocked by a series of figures.

"Xiao Kai, no, he's an outsider!" Someone hurriedly said.

"Yes, Kaiyang, he's not from our Buyi tribe, you can't just let people in!"

"That's right, Kaiyang, you're like this, your dad is home, but I have to clean you up!"

"If you have pity on him, give him some clothes, give him some food, and send him away, foreigners, you can't ...... like this"

The onlookers were talking and pointing.

Wu Zhiyuan's face remained unchanged.

"Take me first! Take it! Wu Zhiyuan chuckled and put the book in Zheng Yong's hand, and the moment he turned around, his face instantly turned cold, like ice in the Nine Heavens Hell.

In Zheng Yong's astonished gaze, suddenly, Wu Zhiyuan pulled out a long knife from his waist and held it horizontally in front of him.

"Get out of here!" Wu Zhiyuan roared, and the people around him retreated.

"Xiao Kai, you're crazy, for the New Year, you have a knife with you, who do you want to cut?"

"It's not, I heard that yesterday Wu Laosan's cow cubs kept barking, and they were so noisy that he was hacked to death by him, no, Kaiyang is going to cut people!"

"Look at his father coming back, how to clean him up!"

……

"Shut up!" Wu Zhiyuan yelled again, pointed at Zheng Yong and said, "In the future, he will be my Kaiyang brother and my Buyi tribe, and I can't tolerate you to talk nonsense, if anyone dares to chew the root of his tongue behind my back, beware of your cattle!" ”

The people in the courtyard all quieted down, looking at Wu Zhiyuan, frightened.

They are not afraid of cutting people, but they are afraid that their cattle will be cut down, which is used to plow the land and lie on the field, and it is even more important than their lives.

"Let's go, let's go home, I'll see who dares to talk more!"

Wu Zhiyuan put away the knife, turned around, grinned, took Zheng Yong's hand, and walked towards a stone slab house.

"Brother Yuan!"

Zheng Yong looked at the big brother in front of him, looked at the figure pulling him forward, and in his eyes, he suddenly became so tall.
