"Brother Yuan, why are those people so afraid of you!"

"Because, they think I'm crazy!"

"Why? They're crazy! ”

"Because, I am different from them, in their eyes, I am an other! They went to the mountains to herd cattle, I was alone at home reading books, they were dancing in the compound, I was practicing boxing at home, they were a group of people, I was alone! Xiao Yong, you remember, you do differently than everyone else, everyone will always treat you as crazy! ”

"Brother Yuan, why don't you play with them! Isn't it good? ”

"Beasts always walk alone, and cattle and sheep are in herds!"

"Oh! I don't understand! ”

"A bunch of little kids, there's a fart to play!"

"Brother Yuan, why do you like reading books?"

"I see the world!"

"I still don't understand!"

"It's too poor and too closed here, so I can't go out and see, and I can only learn about the outside world through books, and read books, not to get into college, but to understand the essence of this world, to know right from wrong, to know good and evil, and to understand reason!"

"Brother Yuan, why do they call you Kaiyang?"

"Because, on the day I was born, there was a vision in the sky, and an old gentleman said, I am the Kaiyang Star! That's why you named me Wu Kaiyang! ”

"Wow! What is Kaiyang Star! ”

"The sixth star of the Big Dipper! Also called Wuqu Xing! Some people say that it represents fortitude and determination, self-reliance and self-improvement, and some people say that it represents loneliness and stubbornness, and self-esteem! I'm ten years old now, and it seems that the old gentleman is right, I'm a person, and I don't fit in! ”

"Then why are you Brother Yuan?"

"Hah! I don't like the name Kaiyang, and my dad doesn't care about me, so I took a name myself, called Zhiyuan! Do you know what that means? ”

"I don't know ......"

"Aim high! Because, I don't want to nest in this mountain Kaka, in the future, I want to go out and see how big the world is! How exciting! ”

"Wow! Brother Yuan, I'm with you! ”

These are two little boys, one in front of the other and one behind, the former, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, holding his head high, and he pulls a thin and unkempt little boy into a small courtyard.

This yard is full of fruit trees, one of which is a vegetable garden, with apricots, peach trees, and cherries.

"It's home!" Zhiyuan pointed to the old house on the first floor in front of him and said.

This is a one-story wooden frame slate room, divided into three large rooms, each room is divided into two grids, all are separated by wooden boards, on the left, is the bedroom, in the middle, is the lobby and the altar, on the right, the inside is the kitchen, the outer room, is a floor room, there are wooden windows, carved dragons and phoenixes, facing the small courtyard.

"Let's go! Let's go home! Zhiyuan took Zheng Yong's hand, stepped on the nine-story stone steps, and strode into the door.

"Grandma, I'm coming home!" Walking through the lobby and into the kitchen, Zhiyuan shouted.

In the kitchen, there is an old man, with kind eyebrows and gray hair, she is holding a spatula, and she is stir-frying.

Hearing the shout, she turned her head and her eyes fell on Zheng Yong.

"Yo! Whose doll is this? ”

Grandma put down the spatula, came to Zheng Yong's side, and looked carefully, "It's a cold day, wear such a little, this baby, it's frozen, Xiaokai, go find clothes for him to change into!" ”

"Call grandma! What are you doing in a daze! Zhiyuan glared at Zheng Yong, "It's my grandma, and it's your grandma!" ”

"Hello grandma!" Zheng Yong said timidly.

"Grandma, he can't find a home, so I brought him home, and from now on, our home will be his home!" Zhiyuan said.

"Good, good! Now you have a companion, and you can't get along with those people at the head of the stockade! Grandma said distressedly, holding Zheng Yong's face, "Yo! Why is your nose blue and your face swollen! Was it beaten? Xiao Kai, take him to apply the medicine! ”

"I'll arrange it! Grandma, I'll be here to help you cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in a while! Zhiyuan said.

"It's good if you don't make trouble for me, go quickly, wash him, you just wait for the food to be cooked." Grandma waved.

"Grandma is so nice!" Zheng Yong said in a low voice.

"That's it!" Zhiyuan took Zheng Yong and climbed the wooden stairs to the wooden plank building.

This is his room, here, just a wall away from the kitchen, where he can hear the sound of his grandmother's spatula and nagging, and here he can see the small courtyard and vegetable garden outside, and see the fruit trees, which he has planted with his own hands.

He felt satisfied.

Zhiyuan took a set of clothes and walked out of the room.

Finally, he came down from the wooden building and opened a door.

"Brother Yuan, where is this? It's so dark! Zheng Yong asked weakly.

"Bullpen!" Zhiyuan said hehehe, triumphant, he turned on the light, "I don't feed cattle at home, so I use it to practice boxing, you see, what is that?" ”

Following the direction of Zhiyuan's finger, directly in front, there, there was a wooden stake, and next to it, there was also a sandbag hanging and some fitness equipment.

Zheng Yong's eyes lit up, he came to the side of the wooden stake, touched it carefully, he liked it at first sight, especially this wooden stake.

"These are all bought by me going up the mountain to collect medicine and saving money! Hey, hey, awesome! Wu Zhiyuan patted his chest and said.

"Awesome! Brother Yuan is amazing! Can you teach me boxing in the future? Zheng Yong said eagerly.

"Why do you want to learn this?" Wu Zhiyuan frowned, "I originally said that after the New Year, I will take you to school!" ”

"I practice boxing, and I don't want to be beaten in the future!" Zheng Yong clenched his fists, extremely firm.

"You are my brother, no one dares to beat you!" Zhiyuan said, and suddenly rose into the air, like an eagle striking the sky, elegant.

"Bang!" A roundhouse kick that hit the sandbag, and the sandbag made a muffled sound and swayed from side to side.

At this time, Zhiyuan's body fell to the ground.

Zheng Yong's eyes widened, and his eyes shone with dazzling brilliance!

Brother Yuan, so handsome!

"It's nothing!" Zhiyuan shook his head, and then punched on the sandbag, "If one day, I punch through the sandbag, and the sandbag is motionless, that is the highest level!" ”

Zheng Yong stayed in place, stunned.

This scene was extremely shocking to him.

"Brother Yuan, I must learn boxing from you!" Zheng Yong muttered.

He was thinking, if Brother Yuan was so powerful, then in the future, who would dare to bully him, then he, no matter where he went to find his mother, he wouldn't have to be beaten.

"We'll talk about that later!" Zhiyuan said, "Take off your clothes first!" ”

"Huh?" Zheng Yong was stunned.

"Stupid! I'm afraid to see it! Zhiyuan glared at him and pointed to a steaming wooden barrel, "Take it off, go inside and bubble inside!" ”

"But ......" Zheng Yong hesitated, he still had it on his body, and he was afraid that it would hurt if he got wet.

"The water, I put the herbs in! This was originally prepared for myself, and after practicing boxing every day, I went to bubble! Zhiyuan became impatient, "Hurry up, manly man, are you still afraid of pain?" That's a potion, soak it a little longer, it's good for you! ”

"Brother Yuan...... Can you turn around? Zheng Yong lowered his head and made a promise.

"Yo! It's skinny, and it's shy! Look at your bear-like look! Zhiyuan waved his little hand and turned away, "I don't have time to grind with you, I'm going to help grandma cook!" ”

"Brother Yuan, thank you!" Zheng Yong looked at Zhiyuan's back, he wiped away his tears and gently closed the door.

Then, take off your clothes and walk into the barrel.

"Shhh Zheng Yong gasped, a sharp pain came from his body, a hot pain, he gritted his teeth, did not say a word, and endured it silently.

I don't know how long it took, but he felt that his whole body was no longer painful, and his whole body was extremely comfortable.

At this moment, Zhiyuan pushed open the door, carried two buckets of hot water, and walked in.

"Come out, drain the water in it, wash it again, and I'll give you a haircut!" Zhiyuan said.

"Oh!" Zheng Yong's eyes flickered, and he hesitated.

"Writhing, okay, I'm not looking!" Zhiyuan turned around.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zheng Yong came out of the barrel, but curled up next to the barrel.

"Brother Yuan, I'm out!" Zheng Yong said in a low voice.

"This time, forget it!" Zhiyuan said seriously, "Xiao Yong, you remember one thing, man, no matter where you go, you must hold your head high and be upright!" Look at you, what have you become now? ”

Zhiyuan scolded, drained the water from the barrel, and then poured the water back in.

"This wooden barrel, of my own design, this sewage, flows out, just enough to go to the vegetable garden and water the trees! We here, the draft is not convenient, we have to go several kilometers away to carry water, over the mountains and mountains, grandma is old, I can't pick it up, I will pick it myself, you will wash, tomorrow on the first day of the new year, I will take you to the river to wash! Come on in! ”

"Oh!" Zheng Yong jumped into the barrel.

At this time, he realized that his body was held down by Zhiyuan.

"Don't move, I'll cut your hair!" Zhiyuan picked up the scissors and was meticulous.

"If you are like this, no matter where you go, others will treat you as a madman, a beggar, and it's no wonder if they don't beat you!" Zhiyuan said, "Beat your children, don't hate them, the people here are very simple and fierce, and during the New Year's Festival, they want to beat passers-by, this is the custom!" ”

"I see!" Zheng Yong whispered.

"Do you know why those kids beat you, why don't the adults in their family care?" Zhiyuan asked.

"Didn't you say that they beat me like a madman?" Zheng Yong asked puzzled.

"We people here don't like to be given by others, and they won't give to others!" Zhiyuan said seriously, "You remember, if you want people to look at you, you must first be strong, and dignity will never come from you!" ”

"Hmm!" Zheng Yong nodded lightly, he didn't understand Brother Yuan's words, but he would definitely remember them.

Because he is his distant brother, what the distant brother said must be right.

From the first time he said it to himself, he decided it!

"That's it!" Zhiyuan chuckled, came to Zheng Yong, and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, tiger head!" More spirits! Get up, wipe your body clean, and I'll give you the medicine! ”

"Xiao Kai, Xiao Yong, it's time to eat!" At this moment, outside the door, grandma's voice came, "Okay, no, come out quickly, goodbye to the ancestors!" We're going to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner! ”

"Worship the ancestors?" Zheng Yong was stunned for a moment, "Brother Yuan, who is the ancestor of the Buyi tribe?" ”

"We are the same people as the Zhuang people!" Zhiyuan said, "Some people say that our ancestors are Chiyou, some people say that it is Pangu, March 3, June 6, is the festival to worship them......"

"But I don't worship them, in my life, I only worship one person, my grandma!"

"Mom!"
