There is a bungalow at the entrance of the village, which is the warehouse of Lao Lutou.

Xiang Rong pushed the flatbed truck to Lao Lu Tou's house, Lao Lu Tou's home was at the end of the village, and I heard from other people in the village that Lao Lu Tou had been outside in the early years, and later made some money, and when he returned home, he built the largest and most beautiful small castle in the village, and he bought a mile of land around, which looked like a manor.

It usually takes ten minutes to walk from the warehouse to his house, and if it is a small cart, it will take about half an hour, so that when these mountain-like goods are moved, it should be almost dark.

Xiang Rong was a person when he had a memory, only vague words and backs to his parents' memory, he was barely supported by everyone in the village when he was a child, and when he was older, he began to do what he could, helping the family to fill the water, helping the family to reclaim the land in exchange for rations, until he was six years old, the old Lu Tou in the village noticed him, often asked him to do some work, and then gave him some money, relying on the meager savings accumulated again and again, Xiang Rong spent two years plus the help of the people around him to build a simple house, no longer need to send people under the fence or sleep in the broken temple。

Until now, Xiang Rong has been fourteen.

Although his body is much thinner than his peers, his strength is much stronger than most teenagers, and the only one in the village who can wrestle with him is Yang Sanjin, that guy doesn't know what he grew up eating, his body is half larger than Xiang Rong, a whole head taller, I heard that his family wants to send him to those military masters in the towns outside the mountain village, and seek a prominent future.

With the passage of time, it has been dusk, and the goods at the entrance of the village are only the last trip, Xiang Rong, who was dirty, wiped half of his cheek with his arm, his stomach was hungry, and today's old Lu Tou has not sent him food until now, according to the usual, helping Lao Lu Tou to work is all about food, but Xiang Rong, who is used to being hungry for a full meal, didn't care, sat and rested for a while, and shook his sore arm lightly.

In his free time, he thinks about his future.

He yearns for the outside world, and listens to Master Li say that the outside world is extremely exciting, the world is divided into four regions, and the land under their feet is the northern region, and there are three hundred countries in the northern region, and the small village is the boundary of the Guno Dynasty.

Xiang Rong really wants to go out for a walk, he wants to see what the world he is in is like, if he can, he will be like Lao Lu Tou, make some money after swimming, and build a small castle after returning to the village, and marry a beautiful little daughter-in-law to live this life.

Thinking about it, Xiang Rong smiled happily.

"Oops!"

I don't know when the old Lu Tou who appeared came from a distance with his throat pulled, shouting as he walked, and scolded: "You damn naughty little guy, it's getting dark, and you haven't finished moving yet, do you want to earn these five copper coins." ”

Xiang Rong hurriedly jumped off the box and said with a smile: "It's almost there, this is the last trip." ”

Old Lu Tou was fine except for his mouth, he glanced at the five boxes left behind Xiang Rong, and then hummed for a while, then took out a bag full of money from his arms, counted five, and then glanced at Xiang Rong, who was messy all over, and took out two more pieces, and then slapped the seven silver in his hand into Xiang Rong's palm, and said angrily: "Hurry up, go back after moving." ”

Xiang Rong grinned and nodded.

Old Lu Tou walked on the edge of Xiang Rong who was pushing a cart, and the two walked to the small manor at the end of the path together.

The two chatted casually on the road, Lao Lu Tou was nothing more than chatting about the past as before, complaining about the unevenness of the world, Xiang Rong was smiling and listening, asking a few outside questions from time to time, most of the old Lu Tou would answer with flying eyebrows, as if the time he traveled was something he was proud of.

As he spoke, Lao Lu Tou saw the simple wooden house in the distance on the left hand side, and couldn't help but look back at Xiang Rong at the moment, and said: "You, you, a little kid who even relies on himself to be fed by a big guy, what kind of chivalry do you have to learn, take a blind man who can't do anything home, you see, now that there is such a mouth for eating idle food, you would have been able to save enough money to go outside, and if you continue like this, if everyone has a bad harvest and you are too busy to take care of yourself, you two will wait to starve to death." ”

Xiang Rong just smiled: "It's okay." ”

Seeing this, Lao Lu Tou could only sigh, this little guy grew up in the village by himself, and he naturally said everything he could.

"This blind man. ”

Old Lu Tou could only say angrily: "Every day on a child to eat and drink and lose his conscience, it's been eight years, isn't it possible that he is still ready to rub for the rest ......of his life?"

Xiang Rong interrupted his words by calling out the name of Lao Lu Tou, Lao Lu Tou looked back at him, Xiang Rong just shook his head and said seriously: "Okay." ”

Lao Lu Tou snorted coldly, nothing more, continued to walk forward, and after a while, he arrived at Lao Lu Tou's house, said hello to Rong Rong and said hello to Lao Lu Tou, and then left in a hurry.

Old Lu Tou stood on the steps, looking at Xiang Rong who trotted away, shook his head with his hands behind his back, and turned around and walked on the big granite stairs with a slight bow.

Xiang Rong didn't go home, so he first ran to buy a whole bag of rice for five silver coins, the price of rice in the past few days is still cheap, and Aunt Xu, who sells rice, gave some more, if you save a little, you can last at least two weeks.

Xiang Rong carried the rice bag, clutched the two silver coins in his hand, thought about it, gritted his teeth lightly, and walked to the butcher shop on the opposite street that would only go to during the New Year's holidays.

"Yo, buy meat? It's not the holiday yet, is it? ”

Leaning on the recliner is a burly and tall young man, it is Yang Sanjin, their family is the only one in the village who sells meat, and when he gets older, he no longer bullies Xiang Rong and his peers as before, but he doesn't have any deep relationship with them.

"Well, Yang Sanjin, weigh me two copper coins of meat, okay?"

Handing over two silver coins to Rong Rong, Yang Sanjin glanced at him, picked up the butcher knife, and said lazily: This money is the salary given by Lao Lu Tou, I see that you have been running in the village for a day. ”

Yang Sanjin raised his knife and cut off a piece of pork belly that was two or three catties full, and threw it in front of Xiang Rong at random: "Give it to you, take it, I plan to go to the outside town to join the army the day after tomorrow, this is a gift to you before I leave." ”

Xiang Rong picked up the meat and said thank you softly, but still stubbornly put the two silver coins on the table.

Yang Sanjin shrugged his shoulders casually, didn't care about the two silver coins, threw his knife and wiped his hands with a rag, and said, "What about you, what are you going to do in the future?"

Xiang Rong frowned slightly, and said softly: "Master Li has a name, his name is Li Chu, and he is not a waste blind man." ”

Seeing Xiang Rong's somewhat serious appearance, Yang Sanjin, who had been taught when he was a child, changed his words and said lightly: "Li Chu, right, a blind and blind man who came from nowhere, the people in the village think you are stupid, of course, I also think you are a stupid fool, in this world, only the strong are qualified to give mercy and help to the weak, and you can't even take care of yourself." ”

Xiang Rong looked at Yang Sanjin, the child king of the village when he was a child, this bad boy who used to take pleasure in bullying others everywhere, this guy who worshiped the supremacy of Gounod's power.

What Yang Sanjin said is indeed right, only the strong are qualified to pity the weak.

But Xiang Rong also feels that kindness should not be divided into strength, species, or boundaries, but it should not make sense to say this to Yang Sanjin.

"Thank you for the meat. ”

Xiang Rong thanked him again, he took a few steps back, thought about it, and suddenly turned to Yang Sanjin and said, "If you think that only the strong are qualified, then I will try my best to become a strong man." ”

Yang Sanjin was slightly stunned, he looked at the lonely young man walking on the bluestone road with a bag of rice and meat, the sunset pulled his figure, twisted and long.

Yang Sanjin just smiled in the end and said to himself, "You really don't look like a Guno person. ”

That is, the village is isolated from the world, and the habits of Guno infected are relatively light, and in the rest of the cities, people like Xiang Rong are not suitable at all, and they cannot survive.

This country of great prestige and bloody violence only admires strength.

Xiang Rong didn't care about this, he just knew that if someone needed help, he should reach out to help, just like when he was dying of hunger in the snow, everyone in the village would squeeze out the last bite of food from their mouths and leave it for him.

Moreover......

Xiang Rong smiled, who in the village could have so many things about the outside world in his head like Master Li, and he could take the trouble to tell him?

Xiang Rong trotted all the way back to the house.

He saw Master Li standing at the door, and a young man and a woman.

They looked at Rong as they looked.

Xiang Rong only felt that the young man seemed to be a little familiar

And, of course, the sister.

It's really good-looking.
