Section 1 Mountain Village Boys

Zihua Village is a small mountain village located in the jurisdiction of the Blazing City of Tianxin Kingdom south of the Tianyin Continent, with kind and simple folk customs. The origin of the name of Zihua Village is because there is a mountain in the north of Zihua Village, called Ziding Mountain, this mountain is also very peculiar, the ordinary mountain, only above the mountainside, but it is all purple. The night is even more beautiful, and the slight purple light is not very bright, like the glow of fireflies, slightly shining, just enough to see. Some people once said that this purple light seems to be a treasure, attracting many powerful people to come to snoop, but in vain, it has to be said that there is a purple ore on the mountain, which can absorb the light of the sun during the day, and faintly emit it at night, and no one has been surprised by this since then, just as a beautiful scenery, and the name of Zihua Village comes from this.

Speaking of Zihua Village, most of the villagers are mainly farming, and occasionally there are hunters who go up to the mountains to hunt. There was a small hill next to the field, under a tree, leaning against a young man, who looked to be eleven or twelve years old, it was early autumn, but he was still wearing a light blue cloth vest, his hair was tied behind his head with a small light gray cloth band, his white skin, his immature face was full of the unique aura of a child, and his pale black eyebrows had two extraordinarily bright eyes, which were clear and transparent. What is special is that the pupils of these eyes seem to have a light that sees through the world, which is generally only possessed by a steady and wise old man and a person with superior ability, it is a light that does not belong to his age, nor does it belong to the light that he has now, maybe even the boy himself has not noticed. The breeze caressed his face with his brief bangs, his gaze fixed on the smoky valley in the distance, his thoughts as misty as the mountain smoke. "Alas" the young man sighed, and muttered softly, what's wrong lately, why is it always this dream.

The boy's name is Ren Du, and he is an ordinary teenager in Zihua Village. He had been sitting alone here for a long time, not because he was withdrawn by nature, but because of his personality. On the other hand, he, like all children of the same age, loved to play together in the fields. However, what happened recently is really difficult to understand, and the psychological distress is extremely depressing. And the truth of the matter has to start from half a month ago......

It was his eleventh birthday, and now that I think about it, it was such a happy, happy day, a beautiful day for a child who has entered the age of eleven. But he never thought that from that day on, he began to fall into a dream, a terrible dream.

I thought it was just an ordinary nightmare, but since then, every day from when it starts and ends, every night when I fall asleep, I will be awakened, day by day, like a specific good time, like, a dream that belongs only to him. I didn't dare to mention it to my family, because I happened to hear Zhou Banxian at the end of the village say that everyone's dreams have unusual meanings, and sometimes if you tell others about bad dreams, maybe they will come true. Thinking that this dream was so terrifying, and it felt so real, he was afraid, he was afraid that this dream would implicate others, and he was afraid that he would infect others.

Last night, he woke up from his dream again, still the red moon, red flowers, the remains of corpses covered with bones on the bloody earth, and the cries of countless unjust souls ended at the moment when the scarlet flower tentacles appeared in front of him. He sat straight up from the bed, his back was completely wet, and he didn't feel any sleep, and he had been tormenting this cheerful boy every day.

Dreams had become a haunt for him. It's not like before, dreaming of a sweet dream, still reluctant, eager to do it again. Now, he'd rather lose the ability to dream for the rest of his life, and would rather have nothing at all, as long as he can get rid of that dream. He's just a kid, his capacity is limited, that's all he can think of. He looked at the mountains in the distance. "Alas" is another old sigh, what is the matter? It seems to ask yourself, as if you are asking the mountains and fields in the distance.

Maybe he thought too deeply, and he didn't know the surroundings, only to see a little girl on tiptoe, sneaking behind the boy, Ren Du only felt that a pair of tender white hands suddenly covered his eyes, and his thoughts returned to his body at once. I only heard a deliberately suppressed voice, which sounded strangely in my ears:

"Guess who I am?"

The corners of Ren Du's mouth inadvertently raised a trace of arc, who else except for his eccentric sister. The little girl who often plays carefree with a group of children of the same age in the field, whether it is a man or a woman, can have fun together.

Ren Du thought to himself: This little girl, since she is playing tricks on herself.

The mood that had been dull for a long time also swept her away, and the psychological haze was less, so she also wanted to tease her, so she pretended to be puzzled and said slowly:

Well~?... Let me guess.

Behind him, there was a triumphant laugh of a little girl like a silver bell.

"Ahh

I only felt that the little white hands suddenly let go, and when Ren Du turned his head, the little figure had already stumbled behind the tree.

Seeing this, Ren Du couldn't help laughing.

There was a churning sound from behind the tree, and a young female voice said "liar" and "big liar" no sugar!. I saw a little girl with pigtails on her head, bangs, big eyes, long eyelashes, and like a porcelain doll, coming out from behind the tree. Seeing Ren Du succeeding there, Hahaha smiled, and ran over with a small fist.

I'll beat you!"Brother liar, stinky liar", you know to lie to me and tease me, I'm going to go back and tell my father, saying that you learned to deceive people at a young age, hum!

Ren Du held the little fist of the girl in front of him, and saw that she looked like a little adult, stomping her feet angrily, and a burst of love inevitably appeared in her heart, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily overflowed with a smile. My own sister! It's really innocent, how happy it is. After a turn of thought, I thought of myself again, "Alas" If I didn't have this dream, I guess I would be as carefree as my sister.

Looking at her puffing little face, Ren Du smiled and said: Okay, okay, don't be angry, brother will catch a little finch for you when he goes to the mountains with his father to pick spring water tomorrow, okay?

When the little girl heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, but she still put on a puffing face and said, "You must have lied to me!"

Ren Du was amused again, and laughed: Don't lie, don't cheat, how can you lie to me such a lovely sister.

"Really, what if you lie to me?"

"If I lied to you, you told my father and asked him to beat me, how about it?"

"Hahaha, okay! Then I want the pink finch!"

"Good, good, silly girl". Ren Du gently rubbed the little girl's head.

Hahaha, what did you say! "Little Pink Sparrow" The little girl danced happily as if she had never been in the mood before, and then jumped away and ran away, probably to show off to her friends.

Ren Du looked at the back of his sister leaving, smiled, and shook his head.

For his sister, he really loves it. The little girl's name is Ren Ling'er, Ren Du's biological sister, two years younger than him, and she is a little girl who is loved by everyone. The personality is lively and cute, and the neighbors in the township can't help but pinch the little girl's face when they see it. Usually when people want to pinch the little girl's face, the little girl will playfully dodge it, and then say ghostly: "You have to give sugar to pinch"! That little playful appearance often makes the villagers laugh.

Ren Du's family is not the local population of Zihua Village, but after his father met his mother many years ago, the two fell in love, found this quiet and peaceful place, got married, had children, and settled down.

My father has a small liquor shop, is a craftsman who makes wine, although the raw materials used are ordinary grains and the mountain spring under the Ziding Mountain, but the purple mountain wine brewed is famous far and wide, and often when the wine is ripe, the people in the neighboring villages seem to smell the aroma of the wine and will come to buy wine without notice.

At this time, Ren Du's house was too busy, and there were guests coming in and out. In the mountain village, generally a child as big as Ren Du will help the family a little, after all, the children of the poor family have long been in charge, as early as before Ren Du often helped his father to make wine, with his father went to the bottom of Ziding Mountain to collect spring water, when there were many customers, he also played in the shop or something, he was a well-behaved child, but this matter has been affecting him recently, and he was not in the mood to help his father work or anything, so he often sat alone on the small hillside.

As for Ren Du's mother, the impression in Ren Du's memory is very vague, and he vaguely remembers that his mother's face is very gentle and beautiful. I also asked my father about my mother's past and my mother's appearance, whenever I talked about my mother, my father always had a different look on his face, and the light in my father's eyes, which my father didn't usually have. It wasn't until later that Ren Du slowly understood that it was a feeling, and it was all a later story.

Father always talked about his mother, as if everything was good, very beautiful, very gentle, very generous, in this man's memory, as if there was no bad thing about this woman. As for sometimes Ren Du also asked where his mother had gone and what she had done, his father would be silent and would selectively avoid answering him, only saying that his mother had gone to a far, far away place. Looking at his father's sad look, Ren Du was also very sensible and didn't ask much. What he knew was that when he was very young, that is, when his sister was born, his mother left, and although he was reluctant to give them up, he still left. The father said that the mother left for the sake of the better of their siblings and to protect them, and the mother was a big hero. Although Ren Du didn't know why his mother left them for the sake of their better, he didn't know why he left them to protect them. But he trusts his father very much, trusts everything his father says, and thinks that his mother is like this. He has never experienced the kindness of his mother, nor has he ever had the meticulous love of other children of the same age. He only remembered in his heart that this woman was very reluctant to give up on their brother and sister, and he also knew that this woman loved their brother and sister very much. This is all Ren Du has for his mother.
