The village is particularly quiet in the morning, the early farmers have already started their day's work in the fields, and the autumn morning is a little cool.

Gu Changsheng walked on the dew-soaked path early in the morning, and took the old cow to the hill behind the village to graze. Gu Congsheng, on the other hand, went to work in the fields for a while and returned to the thatched hut to prepare breakfast, passing by the small medicine garden behind the house and removing a few weeds.

Gu Changsheng sat on the hill on the stone he often sat on, watching the smoke rise in the village, facing such a peaceful scene, the young man's heart was a little irritable.

Gu Changsheng had a strange dream last night, the boy dreamed of his mother, Changshou had long been unable to remember his mother's face, and it was like this in the dream, a blurred face, looking at himself from afar, Changshou walked towards his mother, but Changshou took a step, and his mother's figure was like a step back, and the boy couldn't walk in front of his mother, and the boy couldn't see her mother's face clearly.

After that, Changshou dreamed that he was in a darkness, and he couldn't get out no matter how he walked, and he struggled painfully, but he couldn't find a trace of light. The boy called helplessly in the dark, brother, brother, and after a while, sure enough, a pair of warm hands groped in the darkness and found himself, and Changshou could feel that it was his brother's hand, although he couldn't see anything.

Changsheng only felt that he had been walking with his brother for a long time, and finally saw some light in front of him, and finally saw his brother's face at this time, his brother's face was pale under the faint light, and blood was oozing from his eyebrows, and his brother's hands became cold.

Suddenly, the picture changed, and he returned to the thatched hut as usual, the green turtle was still lying on the table, and the old cow was still in the cowshed, but the brother was gone, and everything was quiet and terrible.

Suddenly, everything around him disappeared, and Gu Changsheng found himself in a starry sky, with endless darkness under his feet, but endless stars outside his body, some emitting a glimmer like fireflies, and some were so bright that he couldn't look at them directly. Looking at the endless starry sky, Gu Changming felt that he was as small as a speck of dust, suspended in this starry sky.

Gu Changsheng floated in this starry sky, the young man wandered in the starry sky in confusion, like a mayfly, Changshou couldn't get close to those bright stars at all, there was an invisible force that repelled him, and even those stars that emitted a glow like fireflies avoided it, the boy didn't know how long he had been floating, the stars that the boy could see were few, and Gu Changsheng didn't know what he was doing, just floating aimlessly.

Gu Changsheng finally came across the star that did not hide from him, this so-called star, is just a gray stone that is not as big as a fist, it has almost no light, the reason why Gu Changsheng can see it, or when passing by it, it flashed a trace of light, it looks so faint in this starry sky, it seems to be about to dissipate at any time, Gu Changsheng cautiously approached it, Gu Changming has a sense of intimacy with this faint star in his heart, maybe because Changshou is so small in this starry sky, maybe because it is the only star that Changshou approaches and does not avoid Changsheng。

Even if it was just an inconspicuous gray stone, even if it was so faint, the dream boy still had a heartfelt affection for it.

Gu Changming wanted to reach out and touch this gray stone that made him feel kind, and the moment he touched it, Gu Changming fell into the endless darkness under his feet, and Gu Changming also woke up from his sleep.

Gu Changsheng looked at the village under the mountain, pulled his thoughts back from last night's strange dream, thinking that his brother had already cooked a meal, and slowly stood up and prepared to go home.

When he returned home, his brother really cooked the meal, Gu Changsheng washed it casually, looked at the food on the table, and was just about to beckon his brother to eat, but saw Gu Congsheng already pick up the medicine basket.

Gu Congsheng smiled and said to Gu Changsheng: "You came back a little late today, so I didn't wait for you, I ate first." I'm going to go deep into the mountains to collect medicine, and I'll be back later today, and I'll leave dinner to you. When Gu Changsheng heard that his brother was going into the mountains to collect medicine, he immediately became anxious and worried: "Brother, is anyone seriously ill?

Gu Congsheng saw that his younger brother was very worried, so he walked over, touched his brother's head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you were sick that year, I went into the mountains alone to look for medicine when I was seven or eight years old, but no one got sick, but I saw a miracle medicine back then, and it should be the year of these years, and I came back to replenish your body this time." ”

Gu Changsheng also heard the villagers say that Gu Congsheng went into the mountains to collect medicine at a young age, and these years Gu Congsheng also went to the surrounding mountains to collect some medicinal materials to supplement the body of Changsheng, but Gu Changsheng's body has been thin and weak, and Gu Congsheng did not particularly force this, but today Gu Congsheng wants to go into the mountains to collect medicine, coupled with last night's dream, Changsheng is faintly uneasy in his heart.

Gu Changsheng also knew that what his brother decided would not change, but he always felt that his brother had something to say to him, and he was still worried in his heart. So he said to his brother: "It just so happens that Master Wang has been going to work in the town these days, and I don't need to help, so I'll go with you." Gu Congsheng seemed to have known that Gu Changsheng would say this, and said to Gu Changsheng: "With your small body, if you are really in danger, do I save you or run for my life, rest assured, it's okay, although I haven't been there for many years, there will be no danger." Besides, I have something to tell you to do, after eating, go to Hantan to fetch water and fill the vat next to the stove. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Changsheng to open his mouth, he walked with the medicine basket on his back, and after walking a few steps, he didn't forget to turn around and smile and say, "Remember to make dinner, make it delicious." ”

Gu Changsheng wanted to see something from Gu Congsheng's face, but the elder brother didn't show anything abnormal, and when he heard that the elder brother also explained about dinner, he thought that he might really think too much. He said to his brother again: "Pay attention to safety", Gu Congsheng just waved his hand back, meaning that he knew.

Watching my brother's back disappear on the path, I went into the house to eat. But he didn't notice that the old cow lying in the cowshed suddenly stood up and stared straight in the direction of Gu Congsheng's entry into the mountain.

After Gu Changsheng finished eating, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then carried the wooden bucket to Hantan to fetch water, today seems to be nothing special as usual, but the young man did not expect that today is another turning point in his fate.

Gu Congsheng stopped when he was about to enter the deep mountains, because a few feet in front of him, an old cow blocked the way.

Lao Niu's muddy bull's eyes stared straight at Gu Congsheng, and Gu Congsheng also looked at Lao Niu. An old cow, a young man, was silent for a few seconds, then looked at the old cow from the saint and said, "You are here." I saw that the old cow opened his mouth, and a deep voice came, "Have you really decided?"

Gu Congsheng didn't have a trace of surprise, and there wasn't even any other change of expression on that smiling face. Because Gu Congsheng knew when he was twelve years old that his old cow could speak, but it seemed that only he could hear it, and since then, Gu Congsheng has often chatted with this old cow.
