Grandpa squatted down, picked up the small box handed by the little girl, and asked, "Whose child are you?" Why don't the adults in the family come and ask you to give gifts? ”

The little girl said in a childish voice: "There are no adults in my family, and Uncle Zesheng asked me to give gifts." ”

Grandpa was taken aback and muttered, "Uncle Zesheng? ”

The little girl nodded.

Grandpa hurriedly opened the small box, and there was only a small cloth bag inside. Open the cloth bag, and inside is a rolled-up note. Unwrapped the note, there was a sentence on it: "The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy." Daddy's hands shook, and the note fell to the ground.

Daddy grabbed the little girl's shoulders with both hands and asked, "What's your name?" Where did it come from? ”

The little girl said, "My name is Xiaomi, and I'm from Junshan." ”

"Junshan? The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king. It turned out to be Junshan! Was the last time you were in Junshan? Are you waiting for me in Junshan? Daddy's hands trembled.

Jun Mountain, known as Dongting Jun Mountain, Xiang Mountain, Youyuan Mountain in ancient times, is a small island in the 800-mile Dongting Lake, and the famous Yueyang Tower is far away. According to legend, Taoism has 36 caves and 72 blessed lands, all of which are places where immortals live and rest. The world thinks that the realm of heaven is auspicious and blessed, and it is admired by Xianhuai. Junshan is composed of 72 large and small peaks, and is listed as the eleventh blessed land in the world by the "Book of Taoism", which is a good place for contemplation. Junshan is only about a hundred miles away from Thrush Village.

The more Grandpa thought about it, the more he felt that Junshan was the answer he had been looking for.

Luo Buzhai stood beside him, at a loss.

The guests, unaware of what was happening, gathered around.

Zhao Xianyun gently lifted the corner of the red hijab, looking dazed.

Yu Youyang saw that Zhao Xianyun was about to come over, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, then pulled up his grandfather and whispered: "Don't delay the hour, so many guests are watching, how will you let Miss Zhao live in the future?" The identity of this little girl is still unclear, what if Ze Sheng is deliberately making trouble? Even if she's Xiaomi, look at how old she is? By the time she grows up, you'll be in your fifties. Don't hurt Miss Zhao, hurt her again. ”

Grandpa followed Yu Youyang back to Miss Zhao, walked a few steps towards the cave room, turned his head and said to Luo Buzhai: "You must leave her!" ”

Luo Buzhai nodded.

Grandpa took Zhao Xianyun into the cave room, and the people in the house began to throw candy. The crowd rushed to a halt. Xiaomi looked at the back of his grandfather's departure, slightly demented, and was knocked down by the person who grabbed the candy behind him.

Luo Buzhai hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, but found that she was unconscious, and there was a blood stain on her forehead, which should have hit the corner of the table where the ancestral tablet was placed just now.

The people who celebrated wildly didn't notice the little girl at all. They still squeezed around snatching the candy that would make them sweet for a moment.

Luo Buzhai picked up Xiaomi and sent her to a slightly quieter room.

Dr. Li from Fengjiazhuang happened to be here to attend his grandfather's wedding, and Luo Buzhai found him in the chaotic crowd, dragged him to Xiaomi's room, and asked him to see Xiaomi.

Dr. Li touched Xiaomi's wrist, probed her forehead again, and said, "It's not a big problem, she is malnourished and her body is too weak, so she fainted when she touched it." You give her a rest first, and when she wakes up, she will drink some soup and porridge. After walking out of Xiaomi's room, Dr. Li said, "A child who is only so old is so weak, he must not be able to eat enough." Either orphans, or abused. ”

Luo Buzhai remembered what Xiaomi said, "There are no adults in my family", and thought that her parents had already been poisoned by Ze Sheng, and couldn't help but grit her teeth with hatred.

The next morning, my father hurried to Xiaomi's room under the leadership of Luo Buzhai.

Xiaomi had already gotten up, changed into new clothes under Yu Youyang's care, and drank two large bowls of porridge. When Daddy and Luo Buzhai entered the door, Xiaomi was burping.

When Xiaomi saw her grandfather coming in, she hurriedly sat upright and held back her hiccups. But the burps kept coming out. Yu Youyang couldn't help but smile when he saw her serious appearance of holding back her hiccups.

Daddy asks her about her background.

Millet said that she was born on the island of Junshan, but she did not have the appearance of her father and mother in her memory, and only one Uncle Zesheng often came to the island to see her. That Uncle Sawasen told her that her parents drowned while fishing in the lake. Uncle Zesheng claimed to be her distant relative, and when he saw that she was pitiful, he came to see her. Uncle Zesheng told her not to leave Junshan Island easily, otherwise she would drown in Dongting Lake like her father.

She was afraid of drowning, so she never left Junshan Island since she was a child, even if she was hungry and cold, she didn't dare to leave. Zesheng occasionally brought her something to eat, but it was far from enough. She often suddenly blackened her eyes, felt like the world was spinning, and then fainted to the ground.

The other residents of the island seemed to be afraid of her Uncle Zesheng, and when they saw Uncle Zesheng, they hid away. She asked Uncle Zesheng why everyone else was afraid of him. He said that because he had threatened other people and told them not to bully Xiaomi.

Once, Millet was so hungry that she wanted to leave the island by ferry to find Uncle Sawasa. But as soon as she got on the boat, she was dragged down by the islanders. The boatman also refused to carry her.

The people on the island said: "Your Uncle Zesheng said from house to house that if you leave Junshan, we will all drown in Dongting Lake." ”

Millet said, "I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?" ”

The people on the island said, "Your Uncle Zesheng also said that no one can give you food, otherwise you will drown in the lake." ”

When Uncle Zesheng came, Millet asked him why he asked the people on the island to watch over her, and why he asked the people on the island not to give her food.

Uncle Zesheng explained that he asked the people on the island to watch her because he was afraid that she would fall into the water and die like her parents; told the people on the island not to give her food, because they were afraid that the people on the island would poison her.

"Don't worry, I'll get you out of here when the time comes." Uncle Zesheng promised her.

She had been looking forward to the day when she would be able to leave the island.

She often cooks and basks in the sun at the island's ferry, imagining what the world will be like when she takes a boat. Sometimes the wind at the ferry port made her unbearably cold, so she sucked at the sun, imagining that she could eat the sunlight in her mouth and swallow it into her stomach, and the sunlight would give her heat in her stomach and keep her warm.

What made her feel strange was that she could often actually feel the heat emanating from her stomach, so that she didn't feel too cold even if she was thinly dressed.

Grandpa's heart throbbed when he heard her say this. Millet turned out to be a parasitic grass, relying on sunlight to live - after the world, her spirituality has not disappeared, and she can actually absorb sunlight without a teacher. This also proves that this Xiaomi is indeed the reincarnated Xiaomi. Grandpa didn't interrupt her and continued to listen to her.

Millet said she sometimes woke up in the middle of the night to find Uncle Zesheng in her room with something that looked like a fishing net and was not a fishing net and made all sorts of fishing movements. Her instinct told her she couldn't ask, so she pretended to close her eyes and didn't see. This has happened many times. She had always kept this question in her heart.

And so many years passed. Until a few days ago, Uncle Zesheng suddenly came to the island and said to him, "You can leave Junshan in a few days." I have something to entrust to you, and you must help me do it. I have raised you for so many years, giving you food and clothing, just for this day. ”

When she heard that she could leave Junshan, she was naturally overjoyed.

Not to mention that Uncle Zesheng has something to entrust, she herself has always thought that she does not belong here, she has a feeling that she is going somewhere, or has to go. It was that feeling that prompted her to look at the other side of the ferry from the sun's rise to the sun's set, from the green of the branches to the yellow of the branches.

The feeling of leaving was so impulsive and yet unusually vague. She desperately wanted to leave, but she didn't know where she was going. She had seen the place she longed for in her dreams, but when she woke up, she had forgotten it completely. That place had paddy fields and villages that she had never seen before. There were people in that place she had never met.

"Do you remember Thrush Village?" Uncle Zesheng asked her.

She nodded, then shook her head again.

"Déjà vu?" Uncle Zesheng asked.

She replied, "Yes." A name that sounds familiar. ”

"The place I let you go to is called Thrush Village. When the time comes, you can bring me a note. Uncle Zesheng took out a rolled-up note from his pocket and unfolded it in front of her.

She was illiterate and couldn't read what was written on it.

"The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy." Zesheng read into the note, and then asked, "Do you remember that?" ”

She suddenly felt that the words on the note were very familiar.

"Oh! I remember! She was pleasantly surprised.

Uncle Zesheng smiled and said, "You don't know a word, how can you remember?" ”

She hesitated.

"Don't remember, do you?" Uncle Zesheng asked.

"It's like someone whispered it in my ear." She's not entirely sure.

"Who?"

"The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy, and the king doesn't know ......," she said.

"Do you remember?"

She shuddered and replied, "It seems like my own voice said it." When she heard herself say that, it seemed as if she were about to open a door to memory, but the door was so heavy that it closed as soon as it was opened. She couldn't push the door. There was a powerful force behind the door that resisted her from opening it. But the voice she pronounced made her feel excited, as if a cold wind slipped out of the crack in the door.

"It's good if you don't remember. If you remember, you wouldn't have sent me this note. Uncle Zesheng said.

"Why?" She was bewildered.

"Because I want you to give it to that man at his wedding. If you remember, you will leave angrily when you see the scene of his marriage, right? Then my plan will fail! ”

"For that person at the wedding?" She didn't understand why Uncle Sawasama didn't give a gift at someone else's wedding and gave such a useless note.

Uncle Zesheng looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing so hard that she was afraid.

He finally stopped laughing, and said coldly to her, "I want him to see hope in the most hopeless situation, but I see hope missed." ”
