Chapter 56: Hometown?

At night, in the Nanya Forest, in front of a towering ancient tree that looks thousands of years old, Xiaoba lies there quietly, and Hu Xiaoxi sits beside him, gently combing his hair bun. In the Nanya Forest, this kind of ancient tree that is more than 1,000 years old is not uncommon. But this ancient tree, for Xiao Hachi, is indeed a survival that makes him almost desperate.

"No... No way. When Hachi saw this ancient tree in the evening, his whole body trembled involuntarily. He couldn't believe his eyes. Xiao Hachi trembled and stretched out his hand, and the moment he touched the rough bark of the ancient tree, he quickly pulled back as if he had been shocked, and looked at his hand in disbelief. It's not that the big tree has hurt him, it's that Hachi can't believe that he really touched this towering tree. He closed his eyes and reached out again, his palm trembling against the rough bark. "No!" Xiao Hachi roared, and his other hand threw a punch on the ancient tree, and the tree did not move. Hachi stared at the big tree in horror, and then his fist rained down on the huge tree again. Blood burst out from Xiaoba's hand, and Sen Ran's white bones broke out of the skin on the back of Xiaoba's hand. The attack of thousands of punches made Hachi no longer able to swing his arms, and he knelt in front of the ancient tree, and only then did a few withered yellow leaves slowly fall from the branches.

"No way. Hachi, who was kneeling on the ground, dug up at the base of the big tree. Tears fell on the dirt in front of him. The hard frozen soil of autumn cracked Hachi's fingers until he dug nearly half a meter deep. It wasn't until the last of his strength was exhausted that he passed out in severe pain and fatigue.

When the moon is in the sky, the stars in the sky have covered the Nanya Forest with a faint layer of silver frost.

"Hachi, Hachi, wake up, the sun is on your ass. A voice sounded in the depths of Hachi's memory.

"Who... Who is it..."Hachi slowly opened his eyes and looked for the voice. I saw a face that was the most profound in Hachi's memory, looking at him with a smile. Hachi stared at the face, and his eyes turned red. "Sister" shouted and pounced. Xinqu smiled, opened her hand and hugged Hachi in her arms, letting Hachi's tears wet her clothes. Stretched out his hand and gently patted Xiaoba's back, and said softly: "It's so big, and you're still crying." What, having a nightmare?"

"Sister, I miss you..."Hachi didn't answer Xinqu's question, just hugged her and sobbed.

"Well, I know. Xinqu comforted Hachi as she reached out and stroked Hachi's hair.

"Sister, don't leave me behind. Hachi's hand hugged tighter, for fear that Xinqu would break away from his embrace.

Xinqu gently put the right side of her face on Xiaoba's face, "Sister has been here, how could I leave you." Little fools. Feeling her sister's temperature, Hachi gradually stopped crying. At this time, Hachi suddenly remembered the ancient tree. "Sister, why is our home gone. ”

"No, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you scared by your nightmares?" Xinqu said with a playful smile.

Xiao Ba was stunned, "Still there?" Only then did he raise his head and look around. The familiar bed, the familiar cabinet, the small ornaments that have been getting along with each other day and night in my life for more than ten years. The specimen of the young eagle brought back by my father, the wooden man sent by Uncle Niu, the slingshot sent by Brother Huzi... It's the same, and the items in the depths of Hachi's memory are all neatly placed.

"Then did I have a dream before?" Hachi was a little drumming in his heart, but in his sister's arms, this warm and comfortable feeling made Hachi no longer think about it, and what he wanted to do now was to lie in his sister's arms and never come out again.

Xinqu seemed to sense what he meant, and her face flushed slightly. He patted his head lightly and said, "Little Laipi, how long do you want to hold me? It's time to get up, Uncle Dali told us to eat." As soon as Xinqu said this, Xiaoba suddenly felt embarrassed, and quickly let go of his hand and jumped off the bed. After Xinqu carefully helped Xiaoba tidy up his clothes, the two came to the living room.

"Stinky boy, you got up so late. Li Dali tied an apron, held two plates of steaming dishes in his hands, and quipped: "Come over for dinner, you have to let Xinqu call you every day." ”

Seeing Li Dali, Xiao Ba's eyes turned red again. Seeing that his son's eyes were red, Li Dali smiled heartily, "Why do I think you kid has become a woman, you have to cry at every turn, it seems that you have to exercise and exercise you when you go back." Sit down and eat. Saying that, Li Dali put the fried dishes on the table, took out a bottle of wine, poured himself a glass, and drank it to himself. Xinqu also sat on the other side very well-behaved, beckoning Hachi to come over. But Hachi didn't sit down.

Hachi raised his arm to wipe his reddish eye circles and inhaled the liquid in his nose. At the two of them, he shook his head and said, "I won't eat, I want to go out." ”

"It's time to eat, what are you doing going out?" Li Dali frowned, looking puzzled.

"Nothing... Xinqu, can you come with me?" Xinqu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, smiled embarrassedly at Li Dali and said, "Uncle Dali, I'm sorry." I'll go out with Hachi and I'll be back in a while. As he spoke, he pulled up Hachi, "Let's go." ”

Hachi pulled Xinqu out of the house, and then the originally clear sky suddenly darkened. Xiaoba's heart tightened, and he ran to the fat aunt's house with Xinqu. "Why are you in such a hurry?" Xinqu asked Hachi as she ran. Hachi didn't answer, and he rushed into the fat aunt's house as if he were flying. The fat aunt who was holding the soles of her shoes looked at Hachi who rushed in and asked curiously: "It turned out to be Hachi, are you in such a hurry to find me something?" Hachi did not answer, he looked at the fat aunt deeply, as if he wanted to imprint her in his head. Immediately afterwards, he picked up Xinqu and rushed out of the fat aunt's house again. Rushing towards Uncle Niu's house...

The sky was already pitch black, and lightning streaked across the sky. A voice whispered in Hachi's ear: "Hachi, wake up, wake up." The little eight in the Mercedes-Benz roared angrily: "Don't quarrel with me, I still have Uncle Niu, Xiaohu, Baozi, Er Fat... I still haven't seen a lot of people. Please don't bother me, give me a little more time!"

"Wake up... What's wrong with you, wake up. But the voice grew louder and louder. Just when Xiaoba was about to run to Uncle Niu's house, suddenly he couldn't run. It was Xinqu behind him who pulled him.

"Xinqu, what's wrong with you. Come with me..."Hachi eagerly tugged at Xinqu, but Xinqu didn't move a bit. With a gentle face, with a hint of Xinqu's unique mischievous smile, he shook his head at Hachi and said, "It's too late..."

"No, it won't... No..."Hachi shook his head frantically, his hands working harder. Suddenly, he grabbed Xinqu's hand and grabbed it empty. Xiaoba looked at Xinqu in front of him in a panic, only to see Xinqu's body, like flying ashes, with the gentle breeze, melting into the heaven and earth. And the villages around Hachi are also dissolving like Xinqu's body. Xiaoba shouted: "Don't, Xinqu, don't go." ”

"Don't be upset... I'm waiting for you to find me... Find everyone..."As the last sentence of Xinqu was finished, a gust of wind blew. Xiaoba's side was wiped out by the gust of wind.

"No!" Hachiko sat up violently.

"Ahh Why did you get up all of a sudden. Xiaoxi complained from the side.

"It's all you!" Xiao Ba grabbed the snow dance sword beside him and swung it at Hu Xiaoxi. Frightened, Xiaoxi hurriedly jumped away, pointed at Xiaoba and said loudly: "You... You're crazy, I saved you, you're still doing this to me!" Xiaoxi only felt a grievance welling up in her heart, and she cried with a whimper.

Hachi's eyes did not give her because of Xiaoxi's crying, but fell on his own hands, only to see his two hands, wrapped in strips of cloth of various colors like mummies, without thinking about it, he knew that this was Xiaoxi's masterpiece. But he still couldn't help but ask: "Is this what you entangled?" Xiao Xi, who was crying and sad, glanced up at Xiao Hachi, and said silently: "Could it be that the wind is blowing... Whining... Family... People cut a lot... A lot of my favorite clothes, in order to bandage you... Woo... You're going to kill me. ”

Hearing Xiaoxi say this, Xiaoba's heart softened, and he said guiltily: "I... I'm sorry..."

"Woo" saw Xiaoba's apology, Xiaoxi cried even more, which was called a tear. It is said that women are made of water, and sure enough. Xiaoxi's tears soon wet a large area of land in front of him...

Xiaoba didn't know how to coax this aunt, so he simply stopped coaxing and moved his eyes to this towering ancient tree again. Xiao Xi saw that Xiao Hachi was no longer coaxing himself, and it was boring for him to cry, so he came to Xiao Hachi's side and looked at the ancient tree together. "Hey, what are you looking at? What's wrong with this tree. ”

Hachi shook his head and sighed, "This is my hometown..."

"Oh! No, this tree looks like it's been growing here for at least a thousand years. Do you remember by mistake?" asked Xiao Xi suspiciously.

"No, I've lived here for more than ten years, and the scenery around the village is the same, but I don't know why the village has changed, and I don't know who moved such a tree..."

"If it is true, then it is not God who can move this tree. Nonsense, I'm sure you're mistaken. Xiaoxi sneered a little at what Xiaohachi said. After all, it is impossible for anyone to believe that such a thousand-year-old tree will be moved casually, and the hundreds of trees around it, large and small, plus the vegetation all over the ground, do not seem to have been moved by someone.

Xiaoba didn't get angry because of Xiaoxi's distrust of him, because if he listened to others, he wouldn't believe that there would be a village half a year ago, but this was where Lijia Village was located that he could be sure of. Looking at this thousand-year-old tree, Hachi muttered to himself, "God?"
