During the day, the city is full of traffic, and the toiling people can only run from city to city in order to make a living, like an ant colony, and if they want to survive, they have to work non-stop.

At night in the city, the lights are on, and the fire trees are blooming. Every corner under the neon lights, purple drunk and golden, intertwined with passion and desire. This may be a release of people's stress, and more, it may be a compromise of life.

Although the pressure is enormous, people are still immersed in it, because there are countless ideals and opportunities buried in this hustle and bustle, and although it is hidden, it is enough to make people rush to it.

On the other hand, the remote mountainous area that is inaccessible to the people has faded away the glitz of the city, and the complexity of human feelings and sophistication has been washed away, although it is poor, but it is the air that breathes freely here, and bathes in the sunshine of freedom, most of the people in the world think that this is a poor and remote place, but in the eyes of some people, it is a paradise on earth.

Ten miles of mountains are all over the place, located in the southern part of the Chinese land, in this mountain range, there is a small village of no more than 100 households, quietly located in it.

The indisputable smiles of the villagers, the chasing and playing of innocent children on the forest paths, and the smoke wafting from the thatched huts all reveal the tranquility and stability here.

In the center of the village there is a house that is larger than the other huts, and this is where the village chief lives.

The villagers have believed in the mountain god for generations, so there is a small mountain temple next to the thatched house of the village chief, there is a clay statue of the god stationed in the temple, I can't see what year, and there is no incense to worship, but every fifteenth day of the new year, there will be villagers in front of the temple to come to worship, bring a few leftover steamed buns at home, a few fresh fruits picked in the forest, sincerely sacrifice, pray for good weather in the village.

In today's mountain temple, there is an uninvited thief, the thief has dark skin, emaciated hands and feet, and hides behind the statue with a ghostly head.

He first poked his head out of the thief, a pair of big eyes blinked and looked left and right, he secretly glanced at the thatched hut of the village chief next to him, and after confirming that there was no one around, he grabbed two steamed buns and began to flee in a hurry outside the temple, and suddenly lost his mind under his feet, and even fell out with the steamed buns.

Coincidentally, the steamed bun that I had just gotten flew to the door of Widow Liu in the village.

This widow Liu lost her husband at an early age, and she has no son and half daughter under her knees, and she is usually alone at home, so she will inevitably be molested by the old bachelor who can't get a daughter-in-law in the village, but this widow Liu's personality is also pungent, and she quarrels with those men who are three big and five coarse, and she is not at all down, and the name of the fierce woman has long been famous in the village.

Although she has a strong temperament, she is a lonely and poor woman after all, so she raised a big yellow dog to live with her, and also named the yellow dog Rhubarb.

This rhubarb is also the nature of the owner, usually a good hand in the nursing home, not to mention the fierceness, the key size is still big, since the rhubarb has been raised, the life of the widow Liu is really clean.

No, the two steamed buns that had just been stolen fell in front of the rhubarb impartially, there is a way, the meat buns beat the dog and there is no return, obviously, this dry steamed bun is no exception, the rhubarb looked down and gnawed it unequivocally.

The thief spit out the mud in his mouth, looked up, and was immediately shocked and frightened.

The big yellow dog in front of him stood taller than himself, and in the village before, this dog chased him a lot, and once he almost bit off a finger by it.

Seeing that the first steamed bun was about to be gnawed up, but he didn't have the courage to try this kind of thing, but the frog in his stomach was "croaking" and barking, for him who hadn't eaten for three days, the steamed bun was life-saving food.

"If I hadn't eaten for a few days, I would have kicked you down the hill with one kick," thought the thief.

I saw that he suddenly rolled his eyes, picked up a stone at his feet, and threw it on the side of the thatched hut of the widow Liu, as soon as the dutiful rhubarb heard some movement next to him, he spit out half of the steamed bun in his mouth, and immediately ran over.

"Hahaha, this stupid dog, who only grows meat but not brains, still dares to grab food from me?"

The thief laughed as he ran. At this time, Rhubarb, who knew that he had been fooled, saw that his tooth sacrifice had been snatched away, and barked wildly, if it weren't for a hemp rope tied around his neck, Rhubarb would have chased him out, but despite this, the sound was so noisy that the two village chiefs who were taking a nap woke up.

The village chief pushed open the door and saw the back of the thief who was laughing and running, but he sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Sister Liu's rhubarb voice is really loud enough, and it makes me feel restless when I sleep. ”

The village chief's daughter-in-law rubbed her eyes, and then she also saw the thief who was gradually moving away, and immediately paused: "Is it that kid Ji Yu who came to steal steamed buns again?" You see, the last time he was caught, you still protected him, in my opinion, you should teach him a good lesson, and then let him be so lawless in the village, maybe in the future, I may poke out some big basket, when the time comes, you are the face of the village chief, where do I look." ”

"Alas, Ji Yu has no father or mother, and he is young and ignorant. The village chief patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder and said softly, "You continue to sleep, I just went to the sixth uncle's field to help." ”

"You, you, you, you're a bad person, you help this and that all day long, and I don't see you working hard at night, hurry up and get a grandson to give my mother a hug. The village chief's daughter-in-law pinched him by the shoulder, snorted, and went back to the house.

The village chief rubbed his shoulders, stretched, and walked out slowly.

But look at that Ji Yu holding two steamed buns, running all the way, over a hill behind the crops of the village, over a small forest, and finally came to a cliff behind the forest, under the cliff thousands of cliffs, as far as the eye can see, there is a vast sea of white clouds.

And on the edge of the cliff, there were two small earthen bags, I saw Ji Yu walk to the earthen bag, put down the complete steamed bun in his hand, and said softly: "Dad, mother, this is to honor the two of you, in two days it will be your death day, I don't know if there is anything to eat for you to bring over, today I will honor you in advance." ”

After speaking, his stomach was "cooing" again, he rubbed his stomach, and swallowed the leftover steamed buns from rhubarb in one bite, but after all, it was only half a steamed bun, and it was eaten by a dog, obviously unable to fill his stomach, Ji Yu looked at another steamed bun in front of the dirt bag greedily, and said to himself: "Dad, mother, I'm really hungry, or I'll pick some fruit for you in two days." After saying that, he smiled and picked up the steamed bun and bit it.

Just when he was in a big bloom, the village chief suddenly walked out of the forest at some point, startling Ji Yu and almost choking on the steamed bun in his mouth.

He finally swallowed it, looked at the village chief and looked at him with a smile, and hurriedly said: "Village chief, I didn't deliberately steal the steamed buns in the temple, it's only two days that my father's death day, you taught me to remember this day, I just took some food to honor them, and then filled my stomach by the way......"

The more Ji Yu spoke, the quieter he became, after all, he stole something, and he was inevitably a little weak-hearted.

However, the village chief didn't blame him, I saw him slowly walk to Ji Yu's side, sit in front of the dirt bag with him, and said softly: "Didn't Granny Yang at the end of the village say that she could get some leftovers for you every day, why do you still do these sneaky things?"

When Ji Yu heard this, he immediately straightened up and said loudly: "Village chief, I have hands and feet, and I can't starve myself, so I don't want others to pity me and sympathize with me!"

The village chief smiled when he heard this: "Then you can steal things in the temple? ”

Ji Yu flattened his mouth: "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that the trap I used to catch pheasants was trampled on by that big boar, I would definitely be eating meat now, eating large pieces of meat!"

The village chief laughed: "Even your little trick still wants to catch pheasants, look at your thin arms and legs, I think, you can't even win the pheasant." ”

Ji Yu knew that he was wrong, his face was red, he didn't speak, he sat there with his legs crossed, the village chief saw it in his eyes, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what to think.

Then, he stood up, patted the soil on his pants, and then looked at the two dirt bags on the edge of the cliff, with an unknown look in his eyes, and sighed: "In two days, it will be your father's death day, and then you can come to my house to get some fruit to honor them." ”

After speaking, he remembered what Ji Yu said just now, and added: "This is for you to help, don't get me wrong." ”

After that, leaving Ji Yu alone, the village chief walked into the woods, and his figure slowly disappeared into the shadows of the trees in the forest.

Ji Yu looked at the back of the village chief who was far away, and suddenly smelled a tempting aroma, he looked back and saw that there was a big chicken leg wrapped in oil paper where the village chief was sitting just now!

The chicken leg is shiny and shiny, the fragrance is compelling, Ji Yu looked at the chicken leg, swallowed his saliva fiercely, although he remembered the bold words he had just said, but he couldn't resist the frog's "cooing" cry in his stomach, he hurriedly looked in the direction where the village chief left, and found that the village chief really left, so he grabbed the chicken leg and bit it in a big gulp.

The bitterness of starving for three days suddenly disappeared, and while eating, he said in his mouth: "Hehe, eat meat, eat large pieces of meat!"

In fact, the village chief in the forest did not go far, he hid behind a big tree, looked at Ji Yu's beautiful appearance when eating chicken legs, nodded with a smile, and finally walked back satisfied, and read while walking: "It's a good thing for a young man to have ambitions, but he can't be bitter about himself." ”
