The Yanggongjing in the small village is not big, scattered and living more than a dozen families, standing at this end of the village, you can see the other end of the village at a glance, Liu Zixuan is not the first time to return to this small village, but when he came back, it was already more than ten years ago. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info long before Liu Zixuan was born, his father and mother lived here for a few years, and there are still three old houses in the village. When he was about to arrive at the entrance of the village, Liu Zixuan thought of the old house, remembered that the old lady wanted him to move back to live before she died, and his heart was inevitably desolate, to this day, he has lived on the rabbit gang for twenty-three years, he was born there, grew up there, and now he wants him to move away from there, this determination is definitely not easy to make.

I asked two people on the way, and then I came to the small courtyard of the Gu family. Thinking about how to call the Gu family, Liu Zixuan was just about to lift his feet into the hospital, but saw a big dog with a pitch-black body suddenly jumped in front of him, the big dog opened its mouth and stared at its tail lower, raised its black hair, and yelled viciously, like a disturbed hatching hen, and the posture was clearly to turn away the uninvited guests in front of him. A good black dog, even if it doesn't stare at the dog with its big mouth like in front of it, just looking at its huge black body, it will rashly scare people. Liu Zixuan was so shocked that he took a few steps back, and was standing outside the courtyard gate in a dilemma, but he heard someone in the small courtyard of the Gu family shouting at the big dog: "Heizi, be honest!" ”

Hearing the shout, the fierce big black dog immediately picked up his tail, walked to the side, and lay on the courtyard wall and stopped making a sound.

Liu Zixuan entered the small courtyard of the Gu family in search of prestige, and was suddenly surprised, who knew that it was the girl who was bitten by a snake a few days ago. Although she didn't rub the fat powder today, Liu Zixuan still recognized the half-familiar face at a glance. When she saw her, she was throwing a bucket into the well, Liu Zixuan couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that she was from the Gu family? If so, it's a coincidence.

Liu Zixuan entered the courtyard gate, and the girl hurriedly put down the bucket in her hand and said, "You are here!" ”

Liu Zixuan came back to his senses and said, "I'm here to ask Uncle Gu for a favor......

"Come in, my dad is at home."

Unexpectedly, this girl's family, who had a relationship with him, was really the daughter of the Gu stonemason.

Following the girl, Liu Zixuan entered the main house of the Gu family and saw an old man sitting alone at the table, smacking a dry tobacco pouch.

"Daddy—" The girl shouted as soon as she entered the room.

Knowing that the old man in front of him was a Gu stonemason, Liu Zixuan hurriedly called Uncle Gu.

The dark-faced Gu Laohan sat at the table, with a calm and indisputable ability between his eyebrows and eyes, at first glance, Liu Zixuan actually remembered his father who had passed away for a while, and the choking dry smoke in the room reminded him of the warmth of snuggling in his father's arms as a child.

Seeing Liu Zixuan enter the house, Gu Laohan hurriedly bowed and said, "Little brother Zixuan is here, as soon as I hear the dog barking, I guess that nine times out of ten it is you who have arrived, come and sit!" Gu Laohan let him sit down, and at the same time instructed the inner room: "Swallow Niang, quickly pour a bowl of water." ”

Before the words fell, a woman in her fifties came out of the inner room with a kettle, and greeted her as she walked: "It's Xuanzi here, it rained heavily a few days ago, thanks to you for sending us swallows home, this girl in my family is unproductive, timid, and afraid of thunder when she is young......"

Until this time, Liu Zixuan knew that the girl of the Gu family was named Yanzi, no need to ask, the person carrying the kettle must be Yanzi Niang, Zixuan hurriedly called Auntie. Yanzi Niang responded, and said while pouring tea: "Yanzi, you have to remember, their Liu family is our benefactor, and we can't forget it for the rest of our lives, when I gave birth to you, my mother's milk was not enough, thanks to Xuanzi and his father sent a few pheasants and rabbits to give me milk, otherwise, I'm afraid you would have starved to death......"

Gu Laohan, who was smoking next to him, also said: "Brother Zixuan, your father and mother are good people, but it's a pity that you left too early." Don't be too upset, cheer up, and life can get better......"

"Count the few families in this sheep well, how many of them have not benefited from your father? But God is unfair, and good people don't live long......" Yan Ziniang sighed.

Listening to the two elders talking, Liu Zixuan sat at the table with his head buried deeply, unable to say a word.

After being silent for a while, Liu Zixuan was about to mention the matter of carving the stele, but before he could open his mouth, Gu Mason suddenly asked another topic, and he said while snorting the dry tobacco pouch: "Little brother Zixuan, Uncle Gu has something that I can't understand, you probably also know that people can't keep their mouths shut, in the past three years since your father passed away, some people in the village have been guessing the cause of his death, but no one knows the truth." A few months before he died, I saw him once, and his face was very good, but in just a few months, he was a good person, why was it gone? What is he really sick? ”

Gu Mason suddenly mentioned this words, which surprised Liu Zixuan, he shook his head after hearing this, and was silent for a while before saying: "What is the origin of my father's matter, I still haven't figured it out, I only know that he entered the forest that day and came back very late. He used to go into the woods with a gun and rarely came back empty-handed, but that day he went home empty-handed, and he looked very tired, and his body was very dirty, as if he had fallen, and there was a small injury on his finger, but that small injury was not enough to be fatal, and he used to go out hunting, and injuries were common. When he came back that day, he lay on the bed and didn't say a word, and my mother thought he had gone too far and had taken a lot of effort, so she didn't ask much. The next day, he didn't get up, he didn't eat a few bites, and his face became more and more wrong, and my mother asked him what happened, but he still didn't say a word. At night, my mother came to me crying, saying that my father was no longer good, and after I came, I only heard him keep saying: Don't touch that gun, don't touch that gun......"

Liu Zixuan was speechless for a while, and the Gu stonemason asked again: "Could it be that this problem is with the gun?" ”

Liu Zixuan still shook his head: "It shouldn't be the fault of the gun, my father didn't shoot when he went into the forest that day, if he fired, I could hear it at home." ”

"Didn't you meet a wolf?" The Gu stonemason asked again.

"That's not going to happen, Uncle Gu, you know, the last wolf in the forest was killed by my father ten years ago, and since then, no one has ever seen a wolf, and no one has heard a wolf howl from the forest. Besides, even if you meet a wolf, you can't do anything to my father, and—"

Having said this, Liu Zixuan shivered firmly, the wolf that had been raised as a hunting dog for two years suddenly jumped into his brain like a bolt of lightning! It? If there is a wolf in the woods of Niutoupo, it is the only one left! Could it be that his father's death was related to this wolf? Gu Mason inadvertently said a word, but gave Liu Zixuan an important reminder, if it weren't for it, what else in the forest could cause harm to the hunter? Thinking of this, a fog of doubt filled Liu Zixuan's heart.
