Peeling off two potatoes, Long Yang hurriedly filled his stomach, he had to go to school early, and it would take two hours to climb over a hill, and every time he was trotting, otherwise he would be late.

This year's tuition has not been paid, because the family is poor, the teacher asked him to slowly say that he can't let himself make mistakes, as long as he behaves well, the tuition fee can be delayed a little longer.

His mother has already helped him borrow money to pay for tuition, but it is still a little short, and after a while, the millet at home will be collected, and he will be able to pay the tuition again, Longyang doesn't want to make trouble for his mother, and he can't make trouble.

Closing the courtyard door, Longyang trotted all the way, the rugged mountain road was uneven, just like Longyang's eight-year-old life, full of potholes.

Long Yang didn't complain, the reality of the situation didn't allow him to complain, he felt that he was very happy now, because his mother loved him, and the occasional spanking was a trivial matter.

The most important thing is that no matter how hazy the sky is in the morning and how dark the night is, Long Yang has never been afraid. Because he knew, he knew that someone had been secretly guarding him, and although he wasn't sure if it was his father who appeared in his dreams, he had confirmed it in his heart.

When he was six years old, his mother scraped together enough money, found the current patriarch of the clan, opened a certificate, and sent Longyang to the school outside the mountain to register. Since then, Long Yang has joined the school family.

The school is really a big family, and the families of the poor are all poor children from the nearby mountain villages. There was only one teacher, and I heard that at the beginning, he was a college student who came down to experience life. After arriving in the mountains, I was moved by the poor life in the mountain village, shocked by the poor education in the mountain village, and moved by the confused eyes of the children.

The teacher's surname is Zhou, his name is Zhou Lan, and she is a woman. According to the rough people in the mountain village, she is just a girl who has not grown up. Ignoring the opposition of his family, Mr. Zhou resolutely gave up the good life at home and chose to stay in Dashan. She teaches Chinese, mathematics, geography, etc., because she is the only teacher, she takes care of everything, whether it is the study or life of the students in the school.

The female teacher did not complain about the coarse tea and light food in the mountain village, did not punish the wild children in the mountain village who did not know how to be polite, and she did not complain that she had no salary, and the tuition fees were the children's living expenses.

Long Yang knew that these students had no right to complain, every course was a novelty for him, he liked to learn knowledge, he liked this teacher more, although he didn't know what it meant to like, but he just liked it.

The sky is still bright, and Longyang is still on the way.

I don't know if my mother ate this morning, and my mother's body is also getting worse day by day.

"Oops!"

Long Yang's feet slipped and he fell down, this is the way down the mountain.

After Long Yang fell to the ground, he rolled directly down the mountain.

The sharp stones cut through the clothes, pierced the skin, the blood had flowed out, and the head was also broken by the stones, and the dragon yang rolled down the slope faster and faster.

A piece of vine wrapped around Long Yang's ankle and stopped the momentum.

Long Yang had already fainted.

I don't know how long it took, but it still didn't dawn.

Long Yang woke up slowly.

"Did you save me again? I didn't mean to, I've been careful with this mountain path, this is the third time you've saved me, I know it's you. Long Yang thought silently in his heart, three times, it was a catastrophe and he would not die.

This mountain, tall, this is in the eyes of the child; The road is not easy to walk, and everyone in the village knows it. In order to go to school, Longyang had to climb over this mountain, and he couldn't do it without walking, because this was the only way out of the mountain.

Since signing up, Longyang has walked to school by himself, and if his mother goes to send him to school, the farm work in the field will be too busy, and he will delay too much time by coming and going. Long Yang also did not agree to his mother to send him to school, the crops in the field, his mother's hard work, in order to have tuition fees to study.

I remember one year, when it was snowing heavily, my mother persuaded me not to go to school, but Longyang insisted. When I was going up the mountain, I slipped in the snow, and it was a snow ball that blocked me.

I remember the moment when I was in the second grade, I met a hungry wolf on the way to school, and at the moment when the wolf pounced on him, there was a strange noise, and the lone wolf howled and ran away.

One was an accident, two were a chance encounter, and this was the third time, and Long Yang knew that this was not simply said in the past.

"Father, is that you? Xiaoyang misses you! Long Yang shouted, screaming in pain, ignoring the injuries on his body, he kept looking around. On the lonely mountain is his own immature voice, and there are bursts of empty echoes.

Long Yang shed tears, his father taught him before his death, and boys don't flick when they have tears. He doesn't care about it now, he is happy, but he is not satisfied, he wants to get the love of two people, that is, father's love and mother's love.

Tears can't melt the rocks, the peaks, the wind, the forests, and the rhyme.

Looking at his shoes, these are the new shoes given by his father when he was five years old, and he is still wearing them three years later. I haven't grown my feet for three years, no, I made them big at that time, and I have been stuffed with a cloth, and this year is just right.

It's broken now.

Looking at his clothes, this is the only one of his clothes that is intact and unpatched, which is used to wear to school, and it was sewn by his mother when school started. I haven't grown in two years, no, I made it big at the time, and I have been holding it, and this year is just right.

Now it's broken.

His body was pierced by a stone, and his head was broken by a stone, but Long Yang was not afraid.

The shoes and clothes were torn, and Long Yang was distressed. The shoes were given by the father, the clothes were sewn by the mother, and that's it.

Long Yang no longer asks for someone to save him, even if it is his father Long Shaoyun, if he doesn't appear, there will be a reason not to appear, and this is only his own guess and wish.

Wiping away his tears, Long Yang is firm, he can't cry anymore, and the boy doesn't shed tears when he bleeds, which is also taught by his father.

Struggling to get up, staggering down the hill.

Father, if you can see it, I will make you proud. Because I know you're always with me, and I firmly believe in it! Long Yang thought silently in his heart, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain step by step.

Why does he believe in it?

Because he saw his father in a dream at night, he was rescued when he was in danger when he went to school during the day.

What's more, he had seen the deceased old man in the old house of the late patriarch Grandpa, and that old man had told him before his death that he would see his father again, which Long Yang had no doubt. After seeing the deceased grandfather, he didn't doubt it, although the old man, who was still old, didn't have any communication with him.

Long Yang worked hard to absorb knowledge, kept pestering Mr. Zhou to ask all kinds of questions, carefully took notes, put aside the pain in his body and heart, and cherished this hard-won learning opportunity. Eight-year-old children already understand the difficulties of the family, have experienced the difference between life and death in life, have learned to be in charge, and have their own goals.

He firmly believed and was sure that his father would always be with him.
