It was all an unfamiliar environment, and the little boy's shining eyes were still full of exhaustion, and he cried sadly for a long time, and he was hungry and sleepy at the moment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Little brother, am I hungry?"
The innocent and innocent little boy is not very sensible, and when he heard Mingjie say that he should live in his house, he doesn't want to do anything, and he has to eat when he is hungry, so a few fruits can't make him full at all, but make him even more hungry.
Xiao Mingjie is only seven years old, but he is different from ordinary children, he seems to be sensible but not too sensible, Mingjie is worried about whether his mother will take in this poor little boy, and he didn't hear what the little boy said. The little boy said that he was so hungry, and Mingjie heard it clearly, fortunately, this season, some wild fruits grew on the side of the road to barely satisfy his hunger, and he didn't realize that he was also hungry.
Led the little boy and Xiao Shaoyun to the depths of the mountain forest, between the clouds and mist, on the cliff of the middle of the mountain, a piece of crimson, a few small shrubs, full of small wild fruits like a dragon's eye, Mingjie climbed the long vine, climbed to the cliff in the middle of the mountain, and picked wild chicken fruits.
The little boy was amazed, the little brother in front of him was so powerful, such a high mountain cliff, he climbed it in the blink of an eye. Seeing Mingjie picking wild fruits, the little boy clapped his hands and shouted, "Little brother is so good, so good." β
Xiao Shaoyun watched Mingjie climb up, but he didn't dare to climb such a high cliff like Mingjie, and the little boy said: "Don't make noise, there are wild wolves in the mountains, beware of taking you away." β
Hearing that there was a wild wolf, the little boy hid behind Shao Yun, and he really didn't dare to speak anymore. Xiao Shaoyun smiled and hugged the little boy tightly, smaller than Xiao Haitao.
Climbing on the cliff, after a while, Mingjie picked two clothes of red and tong mountain fruits, ready to come down, but there was a strong wind, blowing the branches swaying, the wind in the four wild mountains was howling, blowing so fiercely, the clouds and mist in the mountains gathered, the mountain stream was blocked by the clouds, Mingjie lying on the cliff, the little boy and Shaoyun could not be seen.
Shrouded in mist, in the mountain stream, in the whistling wind, Mingjie seemed to hear some unusual laughter, with a bit of resentment. And at this time, Mingjie saw that in the fog, there were hundreds of white figures floating, faintly erratic, along the mountain road, flying to this side, getting closer and closer, in the fog, Mingjie saw these figures clearly with indifferent expressions, and was stunned, aren't these the ghosts that the old people say!
From childhood to adulthood, Mingjie can sometimes see things that others can't see, especially when some old people in the village pass away, Mingjie can see a vague figure floating away, and then wander in the village, after a few days, it will gradually blur, whiten and thin, and finally dissipate, and I don't know where to go.
But Mingjie has never seen the shadow of such a person's soul at the same time, like a crowd in a hurry, walking along the mountain road into this mountain stream, crossing the river, Mingjie saw that these people actually had no feet, walking like a floating mist, walking slowly.
At this moment, following the phantom ghost, a powerful black mist rolled over, passing over the head of the little boy Shaoyun, blowing the branches of the surrounding weeds and trees, and the broken branches and leaves flew wildly, so frightened that Shaoyun and the little boy hugged each other, in the black fog, the faint lightning made a sizzling sound, and the bright light that burst out from the lightning, Mingjie actually saw the figure of a little boy, and his eyes drove the ghosts forward, hurried over, the wind weakened, the fog began to dissipate, the sky was bright, the sunset came out of the fog, the valley was still the same, the sun was thin, and the birds and birds flew over the valleyγ
Jumping down from the cliff, Mingjie looked at the direction where the ghost disappeared, scratched the cute little hair, gave the wild fruits picked to the little boy and Shaoyun, kept a few for himself, peeled off the red peel, threw it in his mouth and ate it, and his mouth was full of juice.
"Well, it's delicious, and sure enough, it's still ripe and fruity. β
Xiao Shaoyun cleaned up the blades of grass that fell on his head, shook the little boy and said, "Aren't you hungry, why don't you eat it." β
The little boy also looked at the direction in which the ghost had disappeared, pointed and said, "Little brother, many people have passed. β
Hearing the little boy say this, Mingjie teeth fought and bit the tip of his tongue, I can't believe this little boy, he can actually see these things that ordinary people can't see, does he also have what adults call yin eyes?
"Where's anyone?" Shaoyun looked around.
Mingjie hurriedly patted the little boy and said, "No one is passing by at all, your eyes are hungry, eat quickly, you won't see those figures when you're full." β
The little boy believed Mingjie's words, flashed a pair of moist and translucent eyes, picked up a chicken fruit, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mingjie took the little boy's hand, fed the peeled chicken fruit to the little boy's mouth and said, "You can't eat it like this, the peel is not delicious, you have to peel the skin to eat, little fool, you are really hungry." β
When the fog completely dissipated, drifted into the deep valley, rose to the top of the peak, and turned into a sunset, Mingjie pulled the little boy in the direction of home.
Xiao Shaoyun picked up the basket on his back, followed the sheep intestine path, bypassed a mess of rocks, caught up with Mingjie in front, and ran to the mountain pass together. The sunset is slanting, Mingjie and the little boy took the lead in running to the mountain pass, looking back at the panting Xiao Shaoyun, laughing and waving at Shaoyun, deep in the mountain, half covered by the smoke clouds, overlooking the smoke clouds, they seem to be standing above the clouds, and the children are so excited that they jump.
After crossing the mountain, Xiao Shaoyun, who finally returned home, was very excited, and he pointed to the village and said to the little boy: "When we get home, we can have a beautiful meal." β
"Really?" asked Shaoyun as the little boy asked Shaoyun, following Mingjie closely.
Mingjie, who was pulling the little boy, stopped, he saw his mother waiting for him to come home at the door, and then looked at the innocent child who brought it back, he was a little worried, he could even hear his own heartbeat, he was really afraid that his mother would not take in the little boy. With a wink of his eyes, he dragged the little boy and ran towards his mother.
"Mom, I'm back. β
Mom had already seen Mingjie pulling a cute boy she didn't know, and before she could speak, the smart little Mingjie pointed at the little boy first:
"Mom, I picked up a son for you and came back!"
The mother was confused by Xiao Mingjie's words, and looked at the son and the little boy in front of her, the little boy seemed to be a little scared and hid behind Mingjie.
Xiao Mingjie had already thought about how to tell her mother about this, threw herself into her mother's arms and began to cry, pointing to the little boy behind her and saying:
"The child's mother threw him on the street and didn't care about him anymore, and he won't have a mother anymore, so I'll take him home, Mom, take him in, it's so pitiful!"
Xiao Mingjie cried and shouted, all of which made her mother distressed, and her son didn't say it too clearly, but the noise attracted most of the neighbors, some people surrounded this strange and cute little boy, and faintly heard that it was Mingjie who picked up the child, and began to discuss, some people said that Jie was too bold, and more people said that Jie was a stupid child, let parents raise other people's sons, isn't it stupid, they asked questions, naturally there are people who went to the temple fair to come back, saw this child in the downtown area, and unexpectedly was brought back by Mingjie.
Seeing this scene, the young boy was so frightened that he cried, he had just been abandoned by his mother, and these people in front of him were all strangers, helpless, and when others asked him, he couldn't say anything, only cried, he was too young, as if he was not yet four years old.
Mingjie's mother let go of her son, walked up to the little boy, squatted down to hug the little boy, and asked him kindly.
"Where's your father and mother?"
The little boy looked at the mother with timid eyes, wiped away his tears, and shook his head: "My mother said that I don't have a father, and my mother left me this morning and let me be a little monk in the monastery. β
Hearing that he was to be a little monk, many neighbors were stunned, and a few young people laughed.
"Where do you live, do you know your mother's name, maybe I can help you find her?"
The little boy didn't know, shook his head and cried loudly, calling his mother vigorously, but where was her mother. Finally, everything was understood, and the little boy was really abandoned by his ruthless mother.
Xiao Mingjie is really a clever ghost, just now crying has some elements of acting for his mother, seeing his mother's soft heart, and so kindly asking the little boy some questions that he forgot to ask, he came to his mother's side, looked at this little boy carefully, looked at this pair of very beautiful eyes, and reached out to hold the little boy's hand.
"Don't cry, play with Mingjie in the future, your mother will definitely come back to you, she won't want you. "Mom can only coax him, he is really a poor child, and it makes people feel distressed to watch.
The little boy looked at his kind mother, stopped crying, wiped his tears with his little hands, his pure face was stained with tears, and his little flower face was one, revealing only a pair of translucent small eyes, his eyes gave people a cool feeling that penetrated the body, and he leaned on Mingjie tightly.
"Auntie, am I so hungry?"
I haven't eaten for a day, and I'm hungry. Mingjie's mother picked up the little boy, this child is really likable, everyone loves him, touched his cute little face, and couldn't help laughing: "Let's go, let's go home for dinner." β
Xiao Mingjie, who was standing at the door, bit her fingers stupidly, could it be that her mother had promised to keep the little boy, she couldn't believe it.
"Xiao Jie, I'm afraid that your position as a young master will be given to that little boy in the future. β
Someone coaxed, the villagers laughed, Xiao Mingjie looked at the person who spoke, and she also felt her mother's snub to herself, and jumped up and shouted at the villagers: "How is it possible, I am my mother's biological son." β
Hurriedly ran home, there were bursts of laughter behind him, and everyone in the village also liked this special little boy, because he was so cute, full of aura, and lovely, and then some neighbors in the village also followed into Mingjie's house, and everyone was full of curiosity about this little child. There is not much to do in the small mountain village at night, so it is rare to get together and chat, and it is rare to have something new to do.
Xiao Mingjie is a pistachio, with him to accompany the little boy who was abandoned, to transfer the pain of his abandonment, although occasionally he will wake up crying in a dream, as time goes by, the little boy will completely regard this happy family as a new home of his own, happiness is easy to make a person forget the pain, not to mention that this is just a child who is not very sensible.
The parents adopted this cute little boy, they didn't know what his name was, and named him Xiaoling, this name is just like his cute appearance, full of spirituality.
Since then, part of the special treatment that her mother originally gave to Mingjie has been transferred to Xiao Ling, because Xiao Song Ling is too lovely, and this family quickly raised Xiao Ling as another son. I don't know if it's because of the special nurturing and care of the parents for Xiao Ling, or because the child is born with a different nature, the child grows up quickly, and the original white and lovely little face is more white and pure like water, as delicate and white as Mingjie, not at all like other children in the village whose skin will be a little tanned by the sun, but also quenched with a layer of amber of the sun.
The people in the village are very curious, whether the parents of Mingjie have the secret of raising a beautiful son, every time they hear the villagers ask like this, the parents always look at a pair of darlings and smile happily.
On weekdays, my brother Mingjie wants to go to school outside a distant mountain village, and Xiaoling who stays at home can only play with Xiao Haitao of the same age in the village, every evening, Xiaoling and Xiaohaitao run to the entrance of the village, waiting for my brother Mingjie to come back, the two clever children seem to have become Mingjie's little tail, and they like to follow Mingjie at any time, and gradually become a unique scenery in the village, and an infinitely happy childhood.
