In the dog days of hot summer, the scorching sun is extremely hot.

A remote mountain village is located at the foot of the mountains, surrounded by mountains on the back, with beautiful scenery and picturesque scenery.

In front of the village, beyond the end of the rice fields, you can see a flood embankment made of red mud, six meters high, very long, along the edge of the Xiaoxing River straight into the distance, you can not see the edge at a glance.

The Xiaoxing River is very long, crystal clear, more than 20 meters wide, through several villages in the upper reaches of the village all the way to the front of the village in the Jiantou Mountain dense forest, in the convergence to the river, Xinjiang River.

More than 10 years ago, a catastrophic flood occurred in the upper reaches of the territory, causing the farmland of the downstream villages to be flooded, and the losses were very heavy.

As soon as the flood receded, the village secretary reported to the township party, and finally got the approval of the superiors, and commanded the strong young people of the whole village to rescue and build this section of the flood embankment that gave the village name safety, "on the dam".

The sky is very blue, the white clouds converge, changeable, like people, like animals, like the palace in the sky, etc., as long as your imagination is rich, the white clouds in the sky can abstractly transform the pattern you want in your heart.

On the dam, the middle road is smooth but not clean, and a lump of fresh cow dung is particularly eye-catching, indicating that a herd of cattle has passed by. The edge of the road has a steep slope on both sides, and the dense green grass is lush and green, showing greenery at a glance. I saw scattered cattle flicking their tails and burying their heads in the grass.

Facing the direction of the head of the village, a huge camphor tree more than ten meters high, rooted at the bottom of the steep slope below the middle section of the dam, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the canopy is dense, and it looks like a giant mushroom towering into the sky from a distance.

At the top of the canopy, birds leap to rest, flapping their wings, singing endlessly, calling to each other, full of freedom.

"Xiaotian, if you don't come back, you won't come back, didn't your parents ask Uncle Li to bring you new clothes? Have fun, how about we play a game of grass flipping together? A child with black skin like carbon and bright eyes flashed brightly, reached out and pushed Xiao Tian, who was lying on the lawn and watching the sky, as if he thought that he was about to play a game, and his mood became excited.

"Brother, you can play, I'll help you watch the cow." Zhu Jingtian got up and refused, his slightly dark and immature face with an expression that did not match his age, and he saw that he looked around with a heavy heart, braving the scorching sun and walking towards the cattle not far away.

"Okay, okay, that's up to you, you have to watch the point, don't let the cows run into the fields." Zhu Jingzong, whose skin was as black as coal, shouted.

"Got it, brother." Zhu Jingtian waved his hand and gradually left the figure.

A group of children under the camphor tree looked at each other, and Wu Cheng, who was barefoot and seemed to be a little older than them, stepped forward and said, "Are Xiaotian's parents really divorced?" ”

Li Qiang looked at Zhu Jingzong, who was silent, and said softly: "I don't know, I heard what Uncle Li said when he came back from work, and this matter has spread throughout the village."

"Hey, don't say it, I heard adults say that the distant city is beautiful, and no one who goes there will want to come back. If I grow up, I'll definitely see it. Cai Jun, whose face was covered with dust like a cat, his eyes flashed with longing.

"I'm going too, I heard that there are a lot of beautiful clothes, a lot of delicious food, and high-rise buildings in TV dramas, and..."

"Don't have any more, do you play games?" Zhu Jingzong interrupted his sister who was intoxicated with fantasy and looked at his friends in the village: "Don't mention Xiaotian's parents, this matter has hit Xiaotian very hard, he used to be the object of our envy, what delicious and fun, as well as new clothes, his parents will give him, but he will also share it with us." So, now that his parents are divorced, we have to care more about him, after all, he and his parents haven't seen each other for two years. ”

After that, the little ones were silent for a long time, nodded vigorously, and looked at the figure in the distance.

Zhu Jingtian, who was shining in the sun, seemed to feel something, pulled up the cow that wanted to go to the rice field, and smiled in the direction of the camphor tree.

"Got it, Brother Zong."

"Brother Zong, I will use the family's fishing nets to catch fish for Brother Tian to eat."

"I too, I... I will give the best food in the house to Brother Tian. “

"I... And me, I will give the chicken at home to Brother Tian to eat. ”

……

The little ones said one after another, their faces flushed, and their big clear eyes stared, as if they wanted to compare who was better for Zhu Sedum.

"Okay, okay, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, why are you talking about this, little kids." Zhu Jingzong stroked his forehead and interrupted the younger partners, and glanced at Cai Jun and Wu Cheng, his eyes as if he had a common topic with you.

"I'm really worried about your intelligence, let's play the game." Zhu Jingzong looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back and sighed, exuding a sense of loneliness all over his body, as if he was imitating the plot of the TV series.

Wu Cheng couldn't stand it anymore on the side, he smiled cheaply, and kicked at Zhu Jingzong, only to hear a snort, Zhu Jingzong fell and ate, and the dense lawn was pressed into a human-shaped depression, and everyone laughed.

"Wu Cheng your grandmother's, don't run! Little ones, give it to me...."Zhu Jingzong rolled up a donkey, looked at Wu Cheng who was fleeing, waved his big hand, and chased after Wu Cheng with his partners.

Not far away, Zhu Jingtian pulled a buffalo to find a good grass resource, set the pile head to tie it, saw the figure of everyone running, and said secretly: "The game has begun." “

The game of turning grass is actually to find a safe lawn, and roll down at the highest point on the heavy dam, without stopping, and the posture is casual. The first person to roll has the most advantage, when he rolls down, the person behind must roll to his side next to him to position himself, and then one by one. If you don't have to deal with it, you will be punished, and the punishment depends on the person and can be changed. If they are all next to each other, the person at the front will roll again in the direction of the last person until someone is punished.

At this moment, on the dam, a group of children laughed happily constantly, and their flexible and vigorous bodies rolled in the green lawn, with the joy of success, the frustration of failure, and the disputes of cheating, etc., all of which were displayed in the steep slope of the lawn on the dam.

Zhu Jingtian tied the heads of their respective cattle one by one, and let the cattle graze around the circle, so that they didn't have to look at them one by one, and they were not afraid to run into the field and waste the ground.

Wiping his sweat, Zhu Jingtian looked up at the sky, the scorching sun had gone more than halfway to the west, and it seemed to be four o'clock in the afternoon, they were two o'clock in the village to come to herd cattle, after two hours, the cow's stomach should have stored a lot of grass, right?

Zhu Jingtian secretly guessed, reached out and touched the belly of his own cattle in front of him, it was round and round, his fingertips nodded, and his face was curious, wondering why the cow was so edible.

And the ox who was chewing licorice suddenly stared at him with a pair of bull's eyes, flicked his tail, and seemed to say, "Don't disturb me to eat grass, I'm not full yet." “

"Scalper, why do you say my parents divorced? Don't they want me? Zhu Jingtian touched the cow's body, the tears in his eyes swirled, and he forcibly endured it not to let it fall.

The scalper squinted comfortably, as if he understood, and the bull's head arched to Zhu Sedum, as if to comfort him.

"Two years ago, my parents went out to work, and I was eight years old.

I will never forget the scene of that day, I cried so much, I begged, and I coquettished, but I knew that they had to make money to support their family, and in the end I understood. I'm a boy, I'll be strong, that's what I told my father.

But after they left, they never came back, only the clothes and special products that were sent from time to time, which shows that they have not forgotten me, nor have they forgotten my grandparents.

I like all the clothes they buy, and I really want to show them them, but I never have the chance.

Yesterday, when I heard Uncle Li come back and tell my grandparents that my parents were divorced, I didn't believe it at all, because they wouldn't abandon me. ”

Zhu Jingtian wiped his tear-soaked face as he spoke to the scalper, forcibly resisted not letting the tears flow out again, his face was attached to the thick cow hair of the scalper, and he closed his eyes: "Whether they divorce or not, I will support myself without their hard work." When I'm older, I'll go to them. ”

Bang!

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded through the sky, the sky that was still clear just now, suddenly became dim, the dark clouds raged and gathered, the thunder rolled, a gust of wind overwhelmingly blew, the leaves of the dense forest on the opposite side of the Xiaoxing River blew "rustling", the birds were frightened and flapped their wings and flew around, and the birds sang endlessly.

In the summer in the south, it is normal for the weather to change suddenly, but this anomaly seems very evil.

The seven children on the dam stopped playing, and Zhu Jingzong Wu Cheng led everyone to quickly run towards Zhu Jingtian.

It's going to rain, and they have to rush back to the village early, that's what they think at the moment.

Zhu Jingtian was taken aback by this thunder, patted his face to calm down, looked up at the strange red lightning flashing from time to time, and seemed to be accompanied by golden lightning, and then quickly ran to the head of the pile to untie the rope.

"Quick, Xiaotian, it seems that it is going to rain heavily, let's go back to the village on the field path."

Zhu Jingzong ran panting and depressed, followed by all the partners in the village, and then everyone looked for their own cattle and untied the rope, Wu Cheng led the way, and led everyone to the field trail in front of him.

After that, everyone carefully drove the ox to follow Wu Cheng, and the hemp rope in their hands was tightly held, afraid that the cow would be frightened by the thunder and run away.

Zhu Jingtian followed his cousin Zhu Jingzong closely, stepping on the field path, which was only nearly one meter wide, and from time to time there were cattle trampling into the mud field, and there were scattered villagers running in the fields in the distance.

Everyone was a little depressed at the moment, looking up at the scarlet lightning in the sky from time to time, as if they were frightened by such a strange appearance, no one made a sound, only the sound of nervous breathing and the "moo" of the cows. Immediately, as if they were all telepathic, everyone hurriedly whipped the ox's body, and the speed of the journey suddenly increased a lot.

The sky was thundering, and the scarlet lightning seemed to be shining overhead, and it didn't rain when the thunder alone, even the older generation in the village had never seen such a strange scarlet lightning scene.

Boom!

A golden flash suddenly appeared in the sky, shining on the small people who were hurrying along the rice field path, as if it was exploding overhead, only to see Cai Jun was instantly frightened by the golden lightning that was close at hand, and threw down the cow rope, shouted "Mom", even the cow was gone, turned around and ran in the field towards the village, faintly crying.

"Don't be afraid, it's just lightning, and it won't split people. Xiao Xia, you help take down Cai Jun's cattle, everyone hurry up, you will be in the village soon, I'm afraid of a bird's feathers. Zhu Jingzong saw that Cai Jun had abandoned the cow and ran away, and he held on to his frightened heart and guided everyone.

As everyone knows, after the golden lightning appeared, a black ghost light in the void crack with a mysterious aura instantly drilled into Zhu Jingtian's head, and in the blink of an eye, Zhu Jingtian couldn't react at all, and then he felt a burst of colic in his mind, as if someone was putting his hand into his brain and stirring desperately, and finally he couldn't help screaming in pain and fainted.

Zhu Jingzong heard a suppressed cry of pain from Zhu Jingtian in the rear, turned his head suddenly, and saw Xiaotian fainting in the rice field at the edge of the trail, and the ox was "mooing" on the side, so he quickly threw down the hemp rope in his hand and ran over.

"Xiaotian was struck by lightning......"
