The sky is clear, the sun hangs on the east mountain, a bird swoops down from the sky, the bird's eyes are staring at the river, the occasional flash of light seems to be through the mist on the river surface in the morning, see the trajectory of the fish in the river, the claws probe down, just about to go into the water to probe the breakfast in the mouth, suddenly flutter and hurriedly flap the wings, change the direction and go away from the sky.

But listening to the loud noise on the river just now, a ruler-long fish flew from the river to the shore like wings, and at the same time the big fish flew out of the head of a young man, the young man shook his head twice, and before he could open his eyes, he shouted loudly: "Catch the fish!"

Looking at the woods by the river, two young men, one fat and one thin, about fourteen or fifteen years old, had already rushed out. The fat boy running in front was about to rush to the fish, but the mud at the water's edge was so slippery that one of them couldn't hold it steady, and pounced forward with a sturdy.

At this time, the big fish that fell to the shore bowed and shook its tail, shook and tossed, and saw that it had flipped to the river and was about to return to the river.

The thin boy who followed behind saw that the former had fallen to the ground, but he did not hesitate, jumped and stepped on the back of the fallen boy, and took advantage of his strength to jump again.

The thin boy hanging in the air raised his eyebrows, as if he had opened his eyes. Listening to the sound of "ah", he stretched out his arms and leaned towards the big fish, the mud splashed, and the young man fell into the mud and hugged the big fish.

The boy who threw the fish in the river had already swam ashore, first saw the fat boy a dog gnawing was already scurrying eyebrows, knowing that swimming was not smiling, and forcibly held back, and saw the latter have another dog pounced on food, it was already unbearable, and finally swam to the shore and saw that the fish in his arms was kissing the mouth of the thin boy who was staring blankly, and the laughter that broke through the belly could no longer be held back, haha laughed. The river was not shaken off, and he choked on a laugh, and when he laughed, he turned into a cough, and a stumbling servant fell into the mud on the shore.

The three of them look up, you look at me, I look at you. They are all muddy faces and mud beards, like three big flower faces singing, and they laughed in unison. They were laughing at the same time, but Yun Shaoqing seemed to remember something, shook his head lightly, and there was a sadness on his smiling face.

Among the three, the emaciated boy hidden in the woods is Chu Xuanming, and the other fat boy is called Ishihara, who is also fifteen years old, an orphan, who grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village, and his chubby figure can say sweet things when he sees people, which is very likable. The boy who fished in the water was called Yun Shaoqing, one year older than Chu Xuanming, and he was also smart and capable. Today, the private school is on holiday, and the three of them come to the waterside to fish and grill fish for fun.

At this time, the fish that had just been caught had been roasted on firewood, and Chu Xuanming and Yun Shaoqing had already finished eating.

Although the day has fast-forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is also hot and dry near noon, Chu and Yun climbed the poplar tree by the river to cool down and eat. Ishihara eats a lot of food, and he is still holding big fish by the bonfire and gnawing non-stop.

The breeze blew, the leaves were swaying, and the speckled sun shadow fell on Chu Xuanming's fake face through the leaves, warm and dry. Chu Xuanming lazily stretched his arm and said to Yun Shaoqing, who was lying on a higher branch: "Shaoqing, I finally closed the private school today, why do you look so unhappy?" Yun Shaoqing did not answer.

As soon as the words fell, a drop of water fell from a high place and dripped on Chu Xuanming's face.

"It's raining!" Xuan Ming opened his eyes and was about to shout, the sun entered his eyes, and he saw that the sky was cloudless, teaching him how ridiculous the idea of 'raining' was. Moved his eyes to look at Yun Shaoqing, and saw that Yun Shaoqing was looking at the sky in a daze under the sun, with crystal tears hanging in the corners of his eyes, like precious jade in the sun, flashing.

"Xuan Ming, do you say that there are ghosts and gods in heaven and earth?"

Chu Xuanming was still confused why Yun Shaoqing was crying, but he was diverted by this sudden sentence.

"There must be no ghosts and gods in the world, if there is, the gods will definitely preside over the way of heaven, good will have good results, and evil will be rewarded. But my father often said that my mother was the best kind-hearted person in heaven and earth, but she died so early, it can be seen that there must be no ghosts and gods. ”

"Mother?" When Chu Xuanming mentioned his mother, Yun Shaoqing's whole body trembled, as if he had been stabbed in pain, and his face struggled, "My mother may also be dead." ”

"Dead?" Chu Xuanming blurted out, "How is it possible! When I went to look for you in the morning, I saw your mother standing in front of the door." ”

Chu Xuanming only felt that he was suffering from hysteria and his nerves were confused. Then he thought of his mother lying in the cellar in his backyard, Chu Xuanming had been lying there since he was sensible, lying in a huge crystal stone, for more than ten years, her appearance had not changed in the slightest, she was still so young and beautiful. But his mother is not like the mother of other children, she never opens her eyes, never breathes, and never reaches out to gently touch her cheeks...

Yun Shaoqing also smiled bitterly when he heard Chu Xuanming's answer, and he had guessed that he would not believe it. The mottled shadows of the leaves dangled in front of Yun Shaoqing's eyes, but only the figure of his mother was left in his eyes, but this figure had become blurred, dimmed, and lost all luster after last night.

Both of them had their own hearts and minds, and they were silent. All that remained was the rustle of trees in the wind and the chirping of Ishihara eating big fish.

Suddenly, there was a strange cry of "wow". Chu Xuanming and Yun Shaoqing were both awakened, turned over and got off the tree, and ran along the sound. I saw Ishihara dragging his chin with a painful expression and his feet jumping straight up.

"What the hell, what the hell knocked out half of Shi Ye's teeth!" Ishihara calmed down in pain, and casually took out a bloodshot stone from his mouth, and half a broken tooth was still stuck to it. "There's one stuffed in the fish's head. He threw it on the ground and rubbed it twice with his foot.

The blood stain disappeared, the brilliance loomed, Chu Xuanming leaned over and picked it up, raised his hand to take a photo, "My mother! "I saw that the jade was round, the size was just right, and a monster with horns, tiger forehead, snake head, Jiao body, and three bird claws was engraved on it. The jade fat is thick and round, and the pattern is ingenious and simple. Holding it in his hand, a fragrant fragrance came out through the jade, which made Chu Xuanming's melancholy just now a lot lighter.

Shi Yuan was holding his cheek with one hand and a broken tooth in the other, feeling distressed. When he heard that it was a piece of water jade that broke the treasure tooth, he jumped up with a bang, "This is mine!"

"What's yours? The fish I threw on the shore, and Xuan Ming hugged it again, if you want jade, you should go to the green mud by the river. Yun Shaoqing remembered the scene of the three of them eating mud just now, faintly funny, and gradually put aside her sorrow and started joking.

"Why isn't it mine, you don't eat the fish, of course the rest belongs to me, besides, this is my half tooth in exchange," Ishihara picked up his broken tooth and added, "This is my guy!"

Chu Xuanming saw the opportunity and said: "This water jade is obtained by our three brothers, and it should be up to heaven to own it in the end.

"Okay, that's it!" Yun Shaoqing agreed with both hands, picked up a branch after speaking, and drew three large circles of similar size on the ground, and the names of the three people were written in the circles. The circles are lined up in triangles, next to each other. The rule is: one person rolls the jade into the circle, and whoever falls in the ring the most when the jade stops, the jade belongs to whoever owns it. This method is simple and effective. Yun Shaoqing smiled at Fat Ishihara after painting, "It's up to you." ”

Shi originally wanted to force it into his own hands, but neither of them agreed, so the boss unhappily walked three steps away from the three circles, leaned over and rolled the ring of the jade aimed at his name gently.

I saw that the round water jade went straight to Shiyuan's ring at the beginning, and when it crossed Chu Xuanming's ring, its strength became smaller, and it walked crookedly at the intersection of Yun Shaoqing and Shiyuan's two rings, and the jade body fell into Yun Shaoqing's ring.

"Mine, haha" Yun Shaoqing laughed, as if laughter could dilute all the thoughts. Over there, Ishihara sighed and was greatly disappointed.

Yun Shaoqing was so proud that he was about to go to get 'his own jade', when he suddenly changed and protruded. Out of nowhere, a wild fox jumped out, bypassing everyone and taking water jade directly, like a long rainbow, as fast as a cunning rabbit. Before everyone had time to reflect, the wild fox had already grabbed the water jade and ran away to the woods.

Over the years, the three of them are the little overlords of this silkworm head village, and they have always been omnipotent in catching chickens and dogs. The three of them ran wildly, following the wild fox into the woods one after another. Thanks to the fact that this is not the hinterland of mountains and forests, Asakusa has just covered the surface of the feet, and the vision is clear, and the three of them are young people, and they all persevere, and they have not lost the tea after chasing it.

Chasing and chasing, a deep pit appeared in front of him. The length of the pit is about four zhang, and the width of the foot is two zhang. The wild fox was chased by the three of them, flashing and moving, and could not get rid of it, at this time he had to run straight to the pit, and felt that he would be surrounded by the three people who dodged left and right. He was stunned for a moment, then accelerated and jumped forward, seeing that he was about to jump to the opposite side, but the momentum of the forward rush was no longer a cent. Falling sharply, his front paws barely grasped the edge of the pit, and the soil loosened, and the wild fox fell down the pit with the water jade.

Chu Xuanming and the others, seeing this situation, quickly stopped in front of the pit to stabilize their figures. The three of them gasped for breath.

Ishihara was even more fat, and he exhaled and leaned over to look at the deep pit, and the black and black underneath couldn't see the end. gasped: "Alas, where did this pit come from so deep, I have never seen it before." Okay, tired and tired, the bamboo basket is empty. ”

"That's not necessarily, I arrived first just now, listened carefully, although the pit is dark, but the wild fox fell for a moment and there was a sound of landing, it should not be too deep. Chu Xuanming said.

"Or are you at the tip of your ear, did you hear the sound of broken jade?" Ishihara heard Chu Xuanming's words and felt hope in his heart.

"What's the difference between broken and unbroken, this forest has suddenly appeared in such a gloomy big black hole from childhood to adulthood, do you dare to go down?" Yun Shaoqing said.

"I didn't hear the sound of broken jade, but," Chu Xuanming turned around and squeezed his eyebrows at Yun Shaoqing and smiled, "Don't forget that today is the fourteenth day of July, the day when the ghost door is wide open, although the water jade is beautiful, it is better not to meet ghosts! After that, he laughed.

Shi Yuan lost his baby, and was teased by the two of them at this time, and finally couldn't pull his face, patted his big belly, and said proudly: "What if there is a ghost, Shi Ye, I will slap one with one palm, stretch out my feet and kick a pair, and watch me go down and bring up the jade." After finishing speaking, he was about to find a path down, and suddenly he seemed to think of something important and said to the two, "After taking it, the jade can be regarded as mine!"

Without waiting for the two to answer, Ishihara circled around the pit to find a place to climb. But the area around the pit is like a knife cut, even if there is a knife shovel to dig a step down, it will be half a sound, not to mention that he is unarmed.

Yun Shaoqing was embarrassed to take back Shi Yuan's words, and at this time, he was already scratching his ears and cheeks like ants in a hot pot if he couldn't go down, and said: "Okay, don't look for a place to climb, you pot-bellied poop can't go down at all without a rope, even if you go down, although it is daytime now, the bottom of the cave is also dark and difficult to distinguish, let's go back and get the flint and soft ladder and come back at night." ”

"What!night?!"

"Of course it's night, now the sun is setting in the west, don't come at night, do you want to wait for tomorrow when the wild fox big hole runs away and then go down to eat your fox sister's fairy fart?"

"Then you—" Ishihara asked again because of his bad face.

"Brother with one heart and one heart to break the gold, of course I will accompany you," Yun Shaoqing finished speaking, turned his head and asked Chu Xuanming beside him, "What about you?"

Chu Xuanming said with a smile: "Such an exciting and fun thing, of course let's go together, and by the way, let's see what is strange and special below." Seeing that Ishihara was still hesitating, "I'll make the decision for Shaoqing, and if you find it, it will be yours." ”

The agreement was reached, and the three of them went home to prepare.
