Chapter Twenty-Eight: Relatives Don't See Each Other
A mile away from Liuhe Village, among the layers of mountains and forests, there is a stone tomb with a round vault, which was buried a month ago.
The stele is a wordless stele, no name and no surname, the people in the village do not know who is buried inside, and who is the person who comes to bury, only know that from the regulation of this tomb and the stone quality of this tomb, it must be a rich and noble family before his death.
The man sat in front of the wordless monument, gently touching the corner of the monument, his face was windless and waveless, but tears flashed in his eyes, and he was choked up.
The man's hand smashed heavily on the corner of the stele, the corner of the stele flew away, and the man snuggled tightly to the stele, like a female beast that had lost its young son, whimpering and wailing, and the mourning of his heart was moving.
In the tomb, the young man who had finally fallen asleep was awakened, his body trembling with fright, and he groped his way to the round tomb door and looked out through the gap.
I saw a back figure sitting on the side of the monument, silent, making people think that the man and the monument had become one.
The young man's eyes were full of surprise, and he whispered, "Big brother! ”
The man outside the tomb stood up violently, looking around eagerly, the voices of people everywhere were lonely, the wind was silent, where was his second brother who was haunted by his dreams? The sentence "big brother" in the trance just now must have been overthought and his ears were deaf.
When he saw the man's face, the young man's second sentence "big brother" was finally stuck in his throat, and he was silent.
His eldest brother is scorching, comparable to the stars, this person is ordinary and unremarkable, falling into the dust.
No, he's not, he's not his big brother.
Yan Heng walked over with a sad face, and said to the young master: "Young master, you have been sitting quietly for two days and one night, and the ninth prince has already moved, and the old palace master has issued three blood orders in a row, ordering you to return to the Sword Eagle Palace immediately." ”
The man stood up, stroked the stele shadow affectionately again, sighed deeply, then turned around, and walked away, finally, out of the sight of the young man.
The young man's heart was empty, and he touched the scratches on the wall in order, and there were already thirty-five paths.
When Uncle Liang was leaving, he said, let him wait here, ten days soon, twenty days at the slowest, and the eldest brother will come to pick him up.
It has been thirty-five days now, and the things left by Uncle Liang have long been gone, and he has to find food every day, and he has to go back to this dark and lonely place to sleep at night.
Every time he wakes up crying in the middle of the night, dreaming that his eldest brother will never come to pick him up again.
Big brother, still didn't come, what should he do? He is afraid of the dark, he is afraid of the cold, he is afraid of being alone. He misses his father, he misses his mother, and he misses his eldest brother even more.
The boy climbed out of the cave, pushed the roots of the tree at the entrance of the cave, crawled out of the tomb, and walked back to the tombstone, and he remembered that the man he did not recognize, had put food in front of the tomb, and he had not eaten anything delicious for a long time.
In front of the tomb there were two plates of pastries, one golden and one white, golden, which were golden cakes; The white one is the white jade cake, which is his favorite pastry when he is at home, and it is also what the eldest brother brings to him every time he returns home.
The boy stumbled and chased in the direction the man left, he was not the eldest brother, but he sent the eldest brother's pastries, that person, must know where the eldest brother is!
The boy hurried to the foot of the mountain, panting and panting, but where was the shadow of that man?
The boy finally couldn't take it anymore and began to cry like a young beast that had lost its mother.
At this time, the catkins and willow buds are picking up firewood at the foot of the mountain, because tomorrow is the day of the willow marriage, and there is a lot of firewood for the fee, so it is a little late to go home.
Just picking up firewood, I heard a burst of whimpering crying, in this silent mountain forest, it became more and more terrifying.
Liu Ya nervously hugged Liu Wu's arm, stared at the direction of crying, and said nervously: "Sister, I, let's go home." ”
Liu Wu patted the back of Liu Ya's hand comfortingly, and slowly followed the cry to the mountain, Liu Ya grabbed Liu Wu and didn't let go, and trembled in a trembling voice: "Sister, don't go inside, there is a mustache dog inside, we can't beat it, and this cry, there won't be a ghost, right?" ”
Liu Fu didn't believe in evil, shook his head and said, "Ya'er, the sun hasn't set yet, how can it be a ghost?" Someone must be crying out for help. Listening to this cry is not far from us, the possibility of encountering a mustache dog is very small, besides, the mustache dog is not a great beast. ”
Liu Wu had seen someone easily kill the mustache dog with a sword, so in her eyes, she also underestimated an animal called the mustache dog.
The two sisters walked towards the depths of the woods, turning a piece of rotten wood, and a young man squatting on the ground with his legs crossed flashed in front of them.
The twilight sun shone on him, casting a golden light.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the young man suddenly raised his head, and when he saw the face of the catkins, his palms immediately covered his lips, and his eyes were full of vigilance and disgust.
"Uh......."
No matter how thick Ren Liuwu's skin is, it's embarrassing, is this a dream restoration? Ah Huang came out of the dream, compared with the dream, more amazing, more beautiful - delicious.
It's just a young man, where do you put your hand, how disgusted you are with Meng Lang that time?
If it was Liu Fu alone, when he encountered this situation, he might have fled a long time ago, right? It's a pity, there's still Liu Ya here, if you run away, Liu Ya will definitely come out of the side to meet a male ghost or a male fox or something like that.
Liu Fu stubbornly stepped forward, and said in a gentle voice as much as possible: "Uh, Ah Huang, you, what's wrong with you?" Need help not? ”
The boy shook his head like a rattle, and his hand never left an inch of his lips, obviously, the shadow left on him by the last "attack" experience was too great.
Liu Wu smiled awkwardly, pulled Liu Ya's hand, and said to himself: "Ya, Ah Huang must be the same as us, he came to work in the mountains, it's okay, we have to go home, it's time for a while, it's time for dark." ”
Liu Ya blinked, and asked with a strong desire for knowledge: "Eldest sister, have you seen him before?" His name is Ah Huang? ”
"Uh......."
"Eldest sister, he looks like he's afraid of you, did you bully him?"
"Uh......"
Sure enough, the 100,000 why the child is the most incomprehensible and speechless.
Liu Fu was thinking about how to answer, but heard a scream of "ah".
The catkins instinctively protected the willow buds behind him, and when he looked back, a mustache dog pounced on the boy who was squatting on the ground, and the boy was thrown to the ground, and the mustache dog was on it, and the saliva was about to flow to the boy's face.
Liu Wu pushed away the willow buds without thinking and shouted, "Run down the mountain and find Uncle Yinsheng." ”
While Liu Ya ran down the mountain for help, Liu Fu took out an arm-thick wooden stick from the firewood, ran quickly to the mustache dog, and slapped it on the head of the mustache dog.
The mustache dog let go of Ah Huang, jumped away with a "whoosh", and stared at the catkins viciously.
The boy immediately got up and ran behind the catkins.
Countless black lines floated on the forehead of the catkins, this is a young man who is a head taller than himself, what does this mean, is he here to seek his own protection?
A handsome young man who was so angry with everyone, coupled with the expression of crying pear blossoms and rain, coupled with Chu Chu's pitiful begging for shelter, appeared on Ah Huang's body in such a discordant way, and presented it in front of Liu Wu, so that Liu Wu couldn't describe his awkwardness.
The mustache dog was provoked to anger, and stood quietly opposite, like a stone statue, but his eyes were sharp and looking at the two, looking for a gap to attack.
The catkins did not dare to slack off, their eyes did not dare to make a mistake, and when the mustache dog pounced, he learned the appearance of the man in the carriage that day, and quickly hit the mustache dog on the neck, which made the mustache dog grieve again and again.
When Liu Wu was arrogant in his heart, he thought that a mustache dog was not to be afraid, and walked out of the forest one after another, one, two, three, four, and five mustache dogs, surrounded the two in a semicircle.
The catkins had an urge to kill themselves.
Why did she believe the Zhou family, thinking that the mustache dog only eats dead carrion?
How could she have forgotten that the bearded dog is a social animal, one is not to be feared, and when it is in a pack, it can even tear a tiger apart.
Liu Wu didn't dare to relax, and gradually retreated back to protect the young man, until he retreated to the side of a big tree, Liu Wu whispered: "I'll count to three, and climb the tree together......."
"One ......."
"Two ......."
Before he could count the third number, Ah Huang began to climb up.
The catkins had to climb the tree together, and when they climbed halfway up the tree, they looked down and saw that the young man was still holding the trunk tightly, and he didn't climb up a step, and the horror on his face made the catkins unbearable to look at.
The catkins stretched out his hand, Ah Huang handed over the palm, and with a force, not only Ah Huang did not go up the tree, but even the catkins were torn off and sat on the ground.
The bearded dog had already flown and pounced.
Without thinking, Liu Wu used all his strength to lift Ah Huang up the tree, and Ah Huang reached a branch and barely climbed a branch.
The catkins had already lost their strength and were thrown to the ground by a mustache dog, their claws cutting a long bloody line at their shoulder blades.
Liu Wu desperately grabbed the neck of the mustache dog with his hand, and the other four mustache dogs had already pounced on him from four directions at the same time.
Liu Wu had to close his eyes as if he was resigned to his fate, and was knocked to death by robbers in his previous life, this life, it was too sad, and he was eaten alive by five mustache dogs, this feeling of watching himself being eaten is too unpleasant.
With a mournful cry, the mustache dog on the top of the catkins' head howled and fell to one side.
Liu Wu opened his eyes, only to see Ah Huang's body standing straight, staring at several vicious dogs with fierce momentum, his eyes were more vicious and poisonous than mustache dogs, and he was holding a knife in his hand, gurgling with blood.
Liu Wu quickly stood up, picked up the wooden stick, and stood back to back with Ah Huang to prevent the mustache dog from sneaking up.
As time passed, the sky became darker and darker, which became more and more unfavorable to the two catkins.
Liu Wu anxiously looked at the direction of the foot of the mountain, and said to Ah Huang: "Three numbers, follow me, and run down the mountain." ”
"One ......."
"Two ......"
Before the third word number was exported, he was dragged by Ah Huang and ran towards the mountain, and the speed must be used to running.
