I have little hope for life on this mountain, but I am not repulsed in my heart.

After all, he and Old Man Yun have traveled all the way, although they often 'quarrel' with him, but their hearts are actually full of intimacy.

As for my brother, my childhood memories are already a little blurry, but the natural action of him just putting a large chopstick dish into my bowl still touched my heart fiercely, and his kindness and patience to me when I was a child became clear again.

Suddenly, I felt that it was good to live with these two people for 5 years, and more importantly, I had an inexplicable sense of peace of mind around them, and I no longer had the fear hidden in my bones.

The three of them sat on the futon and ate around this not too big table.

I swallowed a big mouthful of the vegetarian dish that didn't look very good, I was hungry, and I didn't have any hope in my heart about the taste of the food here, after all, what delicious meal can my brother make?

The solid foundation of my theory is based on the reason why my brother is a man.

Just because when my mother is not there occasionally, my father's cooking can make me 'cry', which is naturally unpalatable to cry, and my mother often says, what does your father cook as a man? This planted a deep-rooted impression in my mind.

But with this mentality, I took the first bite of this meal, but my eyes widened in surprise and looked at my senior brother.

He casually pulled the bangs hanging from his forehead to the back, winked at me, and said, "How's it going, is it delicious?" ”

"Well, it's delicious!" I nodded desperately, it was really delicious, my mouth was full of the fragrance of unknown wild vegetables, and there was a faint fragrance that I don't know where it came from.

"It's good to cook in Masakaon." Old man Yun sandwiched a wild boar fried with chopsticks and said with a shelf.

The senior brother ignored him, took care of himself and filled a bowl of soup, and said: "It's nothing magical, this wild vegetable actually has a little bitter taste, you have to blanch it with hot water before frying it to get rid of the bitterness." As for the trick, when stir-frying, put a little bit of my homemade bean curd, and the dish will be full of aroma. ”

"That's all you have to offer." Old man Yun also took a big bite of food.

"Master, don't you eat if you have the ability? My dream was to be a chef, but you kidnapped me to the mountains and became a Taoist priest. As he spoke, the senior brother grabbed his hair dissatisfiedly.

"You are destined to be a Taoist priest, what are you yelling about?" Old man Yun looked like he took it for granted, suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at his senior brother flatteringly, and said, "Zhengchuan, my gourd"

The senior brother's brows furrowed slightly, but in the end it was a fight, and after a while, when he returned, he was carrying a yellow gourd in his hand and a small saucer, and put it in front of the master, and said: "Old man, you said that you should not indulge in everything, as soon as the junior brother comes, do you want to be a negative example?" ”

Old man Yun smiled, didn't answer, stretched out his chopsticks, took a black-looking bean from the small plate that the senior brother brought just now, chewed it in his mouth, and then pulled out the stopper of the gourd, took a big sip, and then closed his eyes intoxicated.

I smelled a strong aroma of wine, mixed with the smell of medicinal herbs, Old Man Yun shook his head intoxicatedly, and then smiled at the senior brother with some flattery: "How can there be any negative examples, it's just that I am tired of continuous hurry, and I drink wine to relieve my fatigue." If you talk about snacks, the bad soybeans you made in Zhengchuan are the most delicious, and without this, I wouldn't have tasted anything when I drank outside. ”

Hearing this, Brother Zhengchuan suddenly lowered his head and smiled, his expression was somewhat similar to the shy and anxious appearance when he was a child, and he didn't say much, just shouted 'eat'.

"Eat, eat." Master should do the same.

But when the two of them said this, they actually took a wild boar fried with chopsticks at the same time, put it in my bowl, and said to me at the same time, eat more.

The mountain breeze outside the main hall was even more chilling, but my heart was fiercely warm, burying my head in a big gulp, and I didn't know if I had just arrived in a new environment to miss my hometown and my parents, or was my heart moved?

Old man Yun made a negative example in the end, and on the first day he took me up the mountain, he was half drunk.

After eating, I just lay down in the main hall and fell asleep, and my senior brother asked me to wait in the main hall after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and I didn't know where to find a hot towel, and some 'disgusted' wiped his mouth and face for Old Man Yun, and then took a thick cotton robe and covered Old Man Yun's body.

Then, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, come with me." ”

Judging from these actions, in fact, Brother Zhengchuan has not changed in his bones, he is still the guy who loves to take care of people, wasn't he like this when I was a child? Teach me this, that, and take care of me.

It's just that he may really be a hanger who learned from Old Man Yun, right?

I naturally stood up and followed my senior brother, but I heard Old Man Yun snoring in the main hall, and I said to my senior brother, "Master just sleeps here, is there no problem?" ”

"What could he have done wrong? Don't look at our mountain gate is very big, in fact, there are few houses that can live in people, either in disrepair, or rotten and dirty. Only this main hall and a few rooms close to this main hall can live in the master usually lives in the largest wing on the side of the main hall, but most of the time he sleeps in this main hall, he is used to it. Brother Zhengchuan explained to me.

As he spoke, he had already led me through the main hall, passing through a corridor behind, and with the oil lamps hanging in the corridor, I could see that there were several rooms close to each other, and it was dark and unclear from a distance.

I was a little scared, but he saw it, and put the bangs on his forehead to the back of his head, and said to me, "Don't be afraid, if we don't have a clean place here, there will be no clean place in the whole world." ”

"Didn't you say rotten and dirty?" I asked curiously, how can it be called clean?

"Hahaha, this clean doesn't mean that, I mean you just run around here" As he spoke, Brother Zhengchuan's voice became a little quieter, and then he whispered in my ear: "I won't meet any ghosts, weird!" ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said that I had goosebumps, he smiled very proudly, and then rubbed my face very casually, and ignored my 'angry' eyes, and led me to the first room on the left near the main hall.

The room is very clean, the furniture is furnished or something, but it looks like a martial arts TV series, whether it is a couch, a table, or a bookcase, it is an ancient furniture style.

The whole room is also simple, and the most striking thing is that the bookshelf is full of books, some of which are very common modern books, as well as those of old books that are bound in line on TV.

Looking around the room, the only thing that was a little messy was the large desk in front of the bed, with a few books piled on it, two open books and brushes on the pen shelf, and one or two pieces of paper that I didn't know what to copy.

"Let's sleep here at night." My brother leaned against the door and said to me lazily.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva in fear and asked, "Am I sleeping here alone?" ”

"Originally, I thought you were coming, but Master told me to pack up a room that could accommodate people early. The room was cleaned up, just in the middle of my room with Master, just next to it, but thinking that you must not be used to it, stay with me these days, wait for you to get used to it, and then live in a separate room. "Senior brother, this is very casual.

But I must have begged for it, for fear that he would regret it, so I immediately said loudly: "To live together, to live together." ”

"Haha, stinky boy." My brother came over and rubbed my head, looking very happy.

Then I got some hot water, and after we washed up, he let me sleep on the couch while he made a bunk on the ground.

"It's okay, it's wooden, and it's not cold to sleep on. After following the old man for so many years, not to mention anything else, his body is better, he is not afraid of heat in summer, and he is not very cold in winter. Speaking of which, your new mattress and new quilt are hard-won, and I specially went to Wangxian Village to buy them. They often have people going down to the nearest town to catch the market, and the next time we go up the mountain, we're in trouble. "After falling asleep, the senior brother chattered.

I was lying on the couch, sleeping on a thick new mattress, covered with a thick new quilt, smelling the special smell that only a new quilt can emit, and my eyelids kept fighting, but when I heard the name of Wangxian Village again, I couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, is there a village in this deep mountain?" ”

"Of course there is, it's only the only village, you'll know when you go to school." The senior brother was lying flat on the ground, covered by the quilt at random, with a Erlang leg crossed, looking at the ceiling, and replied casually, I don't know what he was thinking?

Am I here? Still going to school? How do you go to school in the mountains? Do you want to go down the hill to school? Isn't that a reminder of the difficulty of going up the mountain, and this school must not torture me to death?

But these questions can't stand the fatigue of running around all night, and soon my whole person was already confused, but I vaguely heard the senior brother still talking in my ears: "In this Wangxian Village, there are actually good-looking girls, junior brother, it's not that I brag to you, I know all the ones who like me, just like that Liu Erhua"

Liu Erhua? What is this strange name? I muttered to myself, but it was the last thought before I fell asleep.
