(Collect!Review!Your support is the author's motivation!)
Dou Ya'er was scheming, ran to the front, sat on the roadside with her ass, kicked off her shoes, "Mom! my feet hurt so badly that I can't walk." ”
The old monster Qiao Shan pretended to be at first glance, "It's okay if you can't walk." You let go and run, and we chase. ”
"You old monster, you can't walk anymore, where do you have the strength to run? ”
When Dou Ya'er spoke, her eyes slipped and looked directly at Zhou Mengyuan.
The old monster snickered and continued on.
Although Zhou Mengyuan did not stop, his feet immediately became heavy, and when he passed by, he hesitated in his heart.
It's long since she is no longer angry with Dou Ya'er, after all, she is a little girl who has no father's control and has no heart and lungs.
It's useless to be angry.
Be angry with yourself.
No one paid any attention. Especially Zhou Mengyuan ignored it.
Dou Ya'er was anxious, "Zhou Mengyuan, you are hard-hearted, lost lamb, you are simply a stinker, you don't look like my brother at all!"
Whereever!
The hard-hearted heart is quite right, but what do you want to illustrate about the lost lamb stinker?
Zhou Mengyuan, who cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade, on the mountain road without the village in front of the village and the back of the shop, how could he bear to see a girl being wronged, he couldn't help but stop, and turned back and said, "Am I your brother?"
Jing Guan didn't have a smile on his face, just the opening of this rhetorical question, which had already made Dou Ya'er excited.
Put on his shoes, ran forward, stood on tiptoe, put his mouth on Zhou Mengyuan's ear, and said, "You are my love brother." ”
Get something off one's chest.
Dou Ya'er was very proud.
Zhou Mengyuan's face turned red.
Such an unforeshadowed confession, without a little mental preparation, how can people not be nervous?
Have you ever loved it? No! Have you liked it? No! Kind of! Have you ever imagined living with her? No!
So why blush and be nervous?
may be because Zhou Mengyuan and Dou Ya'er are relaxed and happy when they are together, there is no taboo and no pressure.
A good love atmosphere should be like this, put aside the material, stay away from snobbery, be easy and simple, and tolerate each other.
Zhou Mengyuan squatted down his footsteps and said, "Come on." I'll carry you. ”
Haha! Fooled.
Dou Ya'er was so happy that she lay on Zhou Mengyuan's back and laughed secretly.
On the hillside, the shepherd's song could be heard.
Flowers on the hillside,
She is hidden in the flowers.
My brother's back is wide and big,
Sister, you climb up hard.
In the morning, it is lovely,
At night, it is soft.
······
A blurted out tune, singing in Dou Yaer's heart.
"Brother Yuan, go slowly, I want to listen to songs. ”
Zhou Mengyuan didn't slow down, "Vulgar." What's so good to hear. ”
Two horsemen came from behind and stopped beside them.
"Hey, is the girl hurt, do you need help?"
Dou Ya'er hurried down, "No." We're joking. ”
"Really. flirting in the barren mountains and mountains, and not afraid of monsters, robbers or something. Drive!"
The two horsemen cursed and walked away.
Old Monster Qiao San was already far ahead.
Dou Ya'er stood in front of Zhou Mengyuan, blocked it, and said affectionately: "Brother Yuan, please tell me the truth, if you have to choose, do you choose Qin'er, or choose the lonely and poor little Ya'er?"
Not far from the hillside, two fawns, probably infected by the song, crossed their necks and shrugged their ears, and remained motionless there.
didn't answer, Dou Ya'er was a little frustrated.
"Look! how close those two fawns are. In order to hide the embarrassment, Dou Ya'er improvised and said, "The bigger one is Brother Yuan, and the smaller one is the little Ya'er, they are talking about love." ”
is so hot and straightforward, Zhou Mengyuan feels that it is not romantic enough.
However, Qin'er's restraint made it difficult for Zhou Mengyuan to guess his heart.
Zhou Mengyuan picked up a stone, "Did you hear me?"
Dou Ya'er saw Zhou Mengyuan picking up the stone, but she didn't stop it, and wanted to use it to judge Zhou Mengyuan's mood at the moment.
"The little one said, brother, you are so handsome, I like to be with you, the sea is rotten, and I will never change my heart! Hand in hand life, grow old together, and never be separated for a lifetime. ”
Zhou Mengyuan thought of Qin'er, "However, they grew up together and have a deep brother-sister friendship, this kind of thing, ······ Is that acceptable?"
Dou Ya'er also suddenly remembered Qin'er, and hurriedly said: "No! No! Absolutely not! Brother Yuan, quickly throw stones and separate them." ”
Zhou Mengyuan lifted the stone, shook it in the air, and gently threw it on the side of the road.
"Brother Yuan, you ······ Why did you change your mind?" Dou Ya'er picked up a stone, "Xiao Ya'er will come in person." ”
"No!" Zhou Mengyuan grabbed Dou Ya'er's hand holding up the stone, "Let it be." Let's go. ”
Dou Ya'er looked at the pair of intimate fawns and followed behind slowly, "You, Brother Yuan, don't have any assertiveness (in terms of love), so many years of books have been read in vain." ”
Luo Di Xiucai sighed:
"The snow is fluttering outside the window, graceful and handsome. Pity but dare not touch it, lest it be melted away. The snow is not afraid of melting, and it is more worrying about watching the snowman. Where is the root of the love of leisurely protection?"
A caravan came from the opposite side.
On the hunchback, all of them are full of large boxes and small boxes, large bags and small bags, which look very heavy.
The camel pullers were all unkempt and carried swords at their waists.
Seeing Zhou Mengyuan and Dou Ya'er coming towards him, the one who walked in the front slowed down his steps, and held the handle of the knife on his waist with one hand.
Seeing the long-distance trafficking caravans, Dou Yaer was very curious, one, two······ The numbers will go up.
Zhou Mengyuan felt very cordial - he remembered his father.
"Uncle, where are you going?"
The leader shook his head with a smile.
One of the people who caught up from behind said that this person was extraverbal and could not understand the mainland language.
Only then did Zhou Mengyuan notice that the leader's clothes and clothes were very different from those in the mainland.
Without waiting for Zhou Mengyuan to continue asking, the man said, "May I ask the little brother, are you from here?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhou Mengyuan said, pointing in the direction of Zhoujia Village, "My house is over there." ”
The camel team stopped, and the man said, "There is a Zhoujia village here, does the little brother know?"
Zhou Mengyuan seemed to have understood what the man was going to say later, and said bluntly:
"My father, Zhou Huairen, followed a camel team for many years to do business, I want to find them and express my gratitude!"
When he heard that he was "before his death", the man said: "My father's name is Zhou Huairen, right? I heard that he was killed at home." ”
Suddenly, Zhou Mengyuan burst into tears, "Yes." Uncle, our family, as well as long-term workers and housekeeping staff, all died very miserably!"
Hearing this, the man turned back and spoke for a long time in several languages.
As soon as the words fell, all the camel caravan members solemnly knelt on the spot.
They took out the horns from their waists and whistled at the heavens.
"Toot ——!——"
The dull and mournful, monotonous but emotional trumpet sound echoes endlessly in the mountains and on the slopes, as if passing through the world with infinite remembrance, going to another world to greet and comfort ·····
Zhou Mengyuan remembered that every time his father set off, he didn't even check the necessary Chinese herbs and coils on the road, but he always tried to blow the whistle of the horn and check whether the cowhide rope tied to the horn was firm, and then put on the whistle and played three tunes repeatedly.
At that time, when he was still young, he saw his friends take willow branches and unscrew the bucket to make a whistle, and ran home with Qin'er, stealing his father's horns and claiming hegemony.
After a few blows, he was snatched by his father who rushed to hear the sound and beaten up.
Qin'er cried, hugging Mr. Zhou's leg and pleading for mercy didn't have much effect.
In Zhou Mengyuan's memory, that time was the strictest time his father had ever treated him in his life.
Why did my father regard this ordinary bull's horn as so valuable? I didn't dare to ask, so I had to keep this question deep in my heart and let time and wisdom slowly interpret it.
Today, the answer has finally been found.
Zhou Mengyuan and Dou Ya'er also knelt on the ground.
When the horn fell, the camel team members babbled and prayed, stood up, and Zhou Mengyuan also got up and said: "Uncle, please represent all of your camel team and accept the unfilial son Zhou Mengyuan!"
Dou Ya'er also stood beside him, with his palms folded, like a Buddhist disciple, bowing three times with gratitude and piety.
"Haha!" the man said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou was upright and generous and compassionate during his lifetime, and it is not in vain to be able to cultivate a descendant like you and such a beautiful daughter-in-law." If you want, you can inherit your father's business and go with us to win the world. ”
heard that she was her daughter-in-law, and Dou Ya'er was beautiful in her heart.
Zhou Mengyuan said embarrassedly: "Thank you, uncle, for remembering my father's kindness! Uncle, the little one dares to say that your trumpet is specially used to sacrifice the souls of the dead?"
"Haha! Dedicated to sacrificing the souls of the dead is so unlucky. Its main purpose is to communicate and alarm. Three tones, different uses. ”
Three tones.
It's three tones!
It resonates with the wisdom, fear and sorrow of the long-distance Silk Road traffickers.
For the sake of the family and the society, what a hard price the Silk Road people have paid!
And, of course, my father died!
Before leaving, the man took out a handful of broken silver and said with concern: "After all, we have been with your father for many years, and we have friends of life and death. Children, if the burden on the family is too heavy, everyone can donate. ”
Zhou Mengyuan, who was accustomed to charity, faced charity for the first time in his life, and his heart swelled with inexplicable humiliation, and he knelt on the ground with gratitude and excitement, and choked up: "Thank you uncle for your charity! Zhou Huairen's son has the ability to support his family. ”
The man touched Zhou Mengyuan's hair, "What a sensible child." We have refused to give alms, and we have reaped the dignity of being a human being that is more precious than silver, and we will surely become a great weapon in the future! We must hurry, and I hope that there will be a period in the future. ”
"Seniors, have a good trip!"
Chief Zhou Mengyuan knelt and walked past the last one in the camel caravan.
During this period, many people put down copper coins and silver in front of Zhou Mengyuan, and they were all returned by Dou Ya'er "Thank you, uncle".
The caravan was gone.
Leaves behind a cloud of dust and strings of crisp bells.
Zhou Mengyuan watched it, so kind that he couldn't bear to look back. All of them are uncles, and all of them are fathers!
Dou Ya'er sympathized with her brother Yuan, took Zhou Mengyuan's hand, and said sweetly: "Brother Yuan, did you hear? That uncle said that I am your 'such a beautiful little daughter-in-law'." Hey, hey!"
"Huh. Perhaps my father told him before his death that our only sister had died of illness a long time ago. ”
Dou Ya'er's serious cooperation made Zhou Mengyuan forget about her taking Qi Yue to find Qin'er.
