This winter is extremely cold, just in winter, there is a goose feather snowfall, the ground is thick, about to bury the soles of people's feet into it, several sheds in the village have been crushed.

Han Dahu was dressed in a solid cotton coat, wearing a thick hood, and his hands were in his sleeves, and he was still freezing with snot.

He suddenly glanced back.

The sun had already set, and there was only a little sunset left.

When this faint light is gone, the mountain will be completely dark.

Everyone knows that the mountain at night is the most dangerous, and it is absolutely impossible to survive.

Han Dahu opened his mouth and said, "Lingbao, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame your life." Your brother is three years old, and you're of little use. ”

After saying that, he walked away with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and never looked back.

......

The night was dark and dark.

Dead branches and leaves are everywhere, the branches stretch out barely, and when the cold wind blows, the ghost hands shake.

Suddenly, a suppressed whimper suddenly sounded, as if it was afraid of disturbing something, and quickly disappeared.

Following the sound, I saw a small ball sitting next to the big tree, with no clothes on his body, pitifully hugging his knees, revealing his frozen red wrists, dirty, and I don't know where he had rolled.

The face has become a flower cat, and the big eyes are clean and beautiful.

But at this time, it was full of tears.

Large tears rolled down, and two white marks were washed on the gray face, looking pitiful and funny.

"Daddy, where are you, why don't you come to pick me up......"

Ling Bao shouted quietly, his big smart eyes full of fear.

It's too dark around, and there is a "whirring" sound all the time, she is so scared.

She couldn't understand why her father had taken her to this strange place and hadn't come to pick her up.

Lingbao raised his thin little hand to wipe his tears, and sobbed: "Daddy, mother, Lingbao is so cold." ”

Please, come to me, okay?

The nights are getting deeper and the temperature is getting colder.

Ling Bao's consciousness began to blur.

The little man fell to the ground and stretched out his hand in the direction of home, behind him was a crawling trail.

There was no strength in his body at all, Ling Bao gradually closed his eyes, and his chest no longer rose and fell a little.

No one knew that there was a living life that died in this dark night.

When the first rays of the morning light enter the mountains and forests, there is finally no longer a dull silence, and occasionally the crisp cries of animals are heard.

A gray hare came out of the burrow in search of food, and when he saw a small figure that was not far away, he approached curiously.

Suddenly, the child bounced all over and opened his eyes!

The hare was frightened and ran away.

Ling Bao blinked and slowly got up.

The body was frozen all night, a little stiff and uncontrollable, but there was a warmth in the limbs and bones, until Lingbao felt that his whole body was warm.

Her face, paler than snow, was also a faint color of blood.

Ling Bao glanced in the direction of "home", thought of his father and mother, and pursed his mouth aggrievedly.

Lingbao has already died once.

Just last night, he was frozen to death.

It is also because of this that she finally knows why she is so well-behaved, does so much work, and never grabs things from her brothers and sisters, but her father and mother still don't like her.

Because, she is not their child at all.

In the dream, she saw a very loving couple and three teenagers with completely different temperament types.

They gathered around her, smiling faces.

They are Lingbao's father, mother, and brother!

Lingbao also dreamed of many things, but she was only a five-year-old child, and she couldn't understand many things when she heard them.

But she kept one thing in mind.

Her dad was sick because of the long journey, but they had no money, and there were people who bullied them, and he would die because he didn't get treatment in time.

No, she doesn't want her daddy to die!

Ling Bao took one last look in the direction of his former home and staggered in the opposite direction.

At this time, at the foot of the mountain, a long line gradually approached.

There were twenty or thirty men in the procession, all of them wearing heavy shackles and anklets, all ragged and unkempt, and with a foul smell of rancidity.

Their expressions were numb, and their eyes were glazed, like the walking dead.

Scattered next to him were several officials in official uniforms, with knives at their waists and whips in their hands.

If any of them go slowly, it will be a whip mercilessly, and they will roll on the ground in pain.

"Hurry up for me, what are you rubbing!"

The official waved his whip impatiently, and he wanted to end this drudgery quickly and go to the restaurant to drink a bowl of hot broth.

Lingbao hid behind a tree, startled by the way he beat people, and hurriedly moved his body to hide himself tightly.

Then he cautiously poked out a small head and earnestly searched the crowd for his father and brother.

The father in the dream is very tall and good-looking, Lingbao has never seen such a good-looking person!

Lingbao looked for a while and pouted in disappointment.

These people are like, she can't tell the difference.

At this moment, Ling Bao suddenly saw a face that he could never forget if he saw it, big brother!

It's her big brother.

Ling Bao's eyebrows immediately fluttered, his facial features came to life at once, and he smiled and showed two cute front teeth.

But she didn't dare to go over.

But it doesn't matter, Daddy and his brothers will be out of the team soon!

Sure enough.

After a few moments, the line stopped.

Cheng Yun breathed hard, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

They have been walking non-stop for two months, without enough food and clothing, without a moment's rest, blood blisters have long been ground out on their feet, and they have not been medicated after grinding, so that every step hurts terribly.

Even if you stop, it doesn't feel much better.

The official took the key to open the shackles and anklets on their family, and handed them the documents that had been handled at the county office.

"Second Master Cheng, the two sons, follow this road all the way, and you will be able to reach Beihe Village, and we will not send it if we are on official business."

Cheng Zhongqian looked tired, stood aside wiltedly, and did not answer.

As the eldest son, Cheng Yun could only shake his hands and say thanks: "Thank you big brothers." ”

He hadn't drunk water for a long time, Cheng Yun's voice was hoarse, his lips were chapped, his movements were big, and he could still taste a little rust.

The official who handed them the paperwork smiled and waved his hand, which was quite kind, but the eyes of the others showed mockery and disdain.

The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs.

Of course Cheng Yun felt it, but he could only endure it.

After bidding farewell to the officials, they walked straight along the dirt road.

He was dizzy, his brain was swollen and aching, and he was having auditory hallucinations.

"Daddy! Big brother, second brother—"

The girl's crisp voice like a wind chime, she was still young when she heard it, soft and glutinous, and the surprise and happiness in it could not be hidden.

Cheng Yun raised his head and saw a small radish head running towards him crookedly.

I don't know if it's uncomfortable, she looks clumsy, Cheng Yun is afraid that she will fall.

The little girl plunged into his arms, for fear that he would run away, hugged his legs tightly, looked up at the little face, and her eyes were shining: "Big brother, Lingbao has finally found you!" ”

Where did the child come from?

Cheng Yun looked at her a little confused, he was sure that he didn't know her, but he had a good impression of her inexplicably.

Next to Cheng Yun, a bearded man looked at her coldly and looked away disinterestedly.

It was as if nothing could excite him.

Ling Bao stared at the man very seriously, is this her father?

...... However, this person is not the same as the father in the dream.

It's no wonder that Lingbao can't recognize it, Cheng Zhongqian in the dream has a long and jade body, a graceful demeanor, and a face as white as jade...... The one in front of me, except for the height, can't match anything else.

"Where's the ugly kid?"

Cheng Yi said with a disgusted face.

Lingbao was already wearing dust, and stayed in the mountains all night, not to mention the gray face, and his hair was like a chicken nest like a wind, and the broken hair was wet and sticking to his face.

I can't see Yuxue's cute appearance before.

Ling Bao hurriedly wiped his face with his hand, and immediately had four more finger prints on his face.

She tilted her head and looked at Cheng Yi expectantly, isn't it a lot better?

"It's uglier." Cheng Yi was merciless.

Cheng Yun frowned: "Erlang." ”

Cheng Yi snorted coldly, looking at the dirt road in the distance that he didn't know how long he would have to walk, his face became more and more ugly.

The little girl wilted her head, and it could be seen that she had suffered a lot of blows.

Cheng Yun touched her head and said, "He teased you, don't be angry with him." ”

Ling Bao nodded again and again, she won't be angry with her brother!

She grabbed Cheng Yun's clothes and asked with a blank eye, "Big brother, am I okay with you?" ”

They are guilty bodies, what good is it to go with them, she should go back to her own home.

Cheng Yun shook his head.

The little girl's eyes were immediately wet, and the bear hugged his leg without saying a word, but Cheng Yun clearly saw that there was a dark mark on his clothes.

"Brother, don't throw down Lingbao, Lingbao don't ...... alone"

No one expected her to cry when she said to cry, but when she cried, she didn't shout, she just shed tears silently, better than all the children he had ever seen.

Cheng Yun was silent for a moment, and when he saw that the child couldn't stop crying, he said softly: "Don't cry, where is your home?" ”

Lingbao twitched and said, "No, there is no home." ”

Don't have a home?
