Liu Heng got up early.

Recently, he likes to sit in the courtyard, watching the sun rise little by little, watching the heavens and the earth light up little by little, and listening to the world go from silence to noise.

It was now morning, and the autumn was deep and dewy, and there was already a hint of chill, but he didn't realize it.

When Huang Dayuan came out of the kitchen after making breakfast, he saw Liu Heng still sitting there in a daze, and after such a long time, he didn't seem to move.

Cheng Hao next door had already finished breakfast and was checking his picks at the end.

Huang Dayuan asked Liu Heng to eat, but Liu Heng didn't respond in the slightest, but it was Cheng Hao in the courtyard next door, who asked with a smile: "What did Dayuan do delicious?"

Huang Dayuan replied to him with a smile, "I heated the cakes of Sanhe noodles and burned some gnocchi soup." ”

So Cheng Hao praised him, "Yo, Da Yuan has been getting more and more powerful recently, and he will do anything!"

Huang Dayuan was happy and a little embarrassed.

When he was at home, his grandmother cooked, and when he came here to take care of Liu Heng, he learned to cook the simplest meals under the guidance of Cheng Haohun's family.

Thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, especially those who are not experienced in the world, can't help but be simpler in their minds, happy in their hearts, and they can see it on their faces.

He looked at Cheng Hao's flat shoulder and asked him: "Brother Cheng, you usually go out early and return late, what do you do?

Cheng Hao laughed when he heard this.

In the past few days that Huang Dayuan came here to accompany Liu Heng, although Cheng Hao didn't have much contact with him, he had heard a lot about this young man from his own family.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man, who is so tall and big, and who is down-to-earth and honest, really makes people feel happy when they look at him, and there is no reason not to like him.

Especially, counting the years, their son who was abducted by the abductor, if he was still around, would be twelve years old by now.

Seeing Huang Dayuan, although the two of them didn't say anything, they didn't think in their hearts: It would be nice if my son was still here!

At this time, Cheng Hao looked up at Huang Dayuan slightly, smiled with indescribable kindness, and said: "I can do a lot of things! mend pots, mend bowls, sharpen knives, sharpen axes, sharpen scissors, sharpen mirrors, repair barrels, etc., I do many things." It's not me who blows, my craftsmanship is in the area around our Ono Castle, that's the best! How many people's things are broken at home, and they don't let others repair them, waiting for me to go, looking for me!"

As he spoke, he smirked a little.

Huang Dayuan also smiled innocently and said, "Brother Cheng, you are so powerful, you know so much!"

Cheng Hao smiled and said: "If you make money to support your family, you have to learn it, and you have to do it well to become a family!

At this time, Cheng Hao's Hun family seemed to have finished cleaning up the kitchen stove and came out. This time, she didn't drive her man out as usual, but also stood in the yard, tilting her head and looking at Huang Dayuan.

When Huang Dayuan saw her, he didn't dare to speak, but soon, he suddenly remembered Liu Heng, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Heng, who was sitting there in a daze, and said proudly: "By the way, my brother Liu Heng can also do anything, and he can also sharpen knives and scissors! He can also fish, he can also fish, he can also cast nets, he can also make benches, and he can also make boats! He also took me into the mountains to collect firewood, and taught me how to weave a sleeve and catch rabbits in the mountains! But I don't like to go up the mountain, because there are many trees and stones on the mountain, and it is very tiring to climb the mountain, and it is easy to hang up rotten clothes, and my grandmother has to make up for me when I go back. ”

Speaking of this, he was a little excited, and he didn't care about asking Liu Heng to eat, and said excitedly: "I like to go into the water to catch fish the most, I have a good water nature!" Brother Liu Heng took me, and the third sister and them, we have caught a lot of fish together, as well as turtles and eels. The eel is delicious!"

Cheng Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, even his Hun family couldn't help but show a smile on his face at this time.

They really liked this lad so much.

Straightforward, down-to-earth, and sensible.

Especially when they heard the child's grandfather say that the child's parents are no longer there, and he is also pitiful. It made the two of them like him doubly.

In their opinion, if Huang Dayuan is a bowl of clear well water, which makes people feel thirsty and cold at a glance, then in comparison, their neighbor Liu Heng is like a pool of muddy water that cannot see the bottom at all.

When nothing had happened before, he was low-key and silent, but people could always feel the tenacious anger from him, the vigilance and sharpness of holding his hands on the hilt of the knife and looking at everyone around him coldly.

I always felt that there was an indescribable dangerous aura in him.

Of course, he is now a poor man.

............

After Cheng Hao left, Liu Heng and Huang Dayuan had breakfast, Liu Heng continued to bask in the sun, and Huang Dayuan finished brushing the dishes and chopsticks, and also came to sit down with him to bask in the sun.

If nothing else, the two of them will sit side by side for such a big morning.

But today, Liu Heng suddenly took the initiative to speak.

He asked Huang Dayuan, "Dayuan, you say, what are we living for?"

Huang Dayuan was a little stunned, this was a very strange problem to him, and he had never considered it.

But finally Liu Heng was willing to talk to him, he still thought about it, scratched his scalp vigorously, and replied, "Alive...... To live, my grandfather said, everyone is alive and has his own mission. Some people want to govern the country and secure the country, some people want to pursue the great road and explore the truth between heaven and earth, and some people just want to read books well, understand things, and then pass them on to their future generations, and preferably to others around them. He said that the more people who read and the more people who understand things, the better the world will be. ”

Liu Heng looked at him steadily, and when he finished his tirade, he asked again, "What do you think?"

Huang Dayuan scratched his head again, sighed for a long time, and said, "I ......," he laughed hesitantly, and said, "I think that living is to do what I like." Some people like to marry a beautiful mother-in-law, in fact, I like it a lot...... It would be best if she could be as good-looking as the third sister. And also...... I...... I want to be strong, I ...... I actually wanted to learn to cultivate immortals, but my grandfather wouldn't let me ......"

He said in a whisper, especially when it came to the "third sister", he lowered his head embarrassedly, as if he was afraid of saying the wrong thing, but when he finished speaking and raised his head to look, he found that Brother Liu Heng didn't seem to care much about what he said. He was starting to wander again.

But just when he was disappointed, Liu Heng suddenly asked, "Then why do you learn to cultivate immortals?"

Huang Dayuan was stunned when he heard this.

There is a sentence that almost rushes out of his mouth, "Of course, cultivating immortals is to make yourself strong, so that you can not be bullied!

But after thinking about it, he swallowed the sentence back.

In fact, for many years, his grandfather has always instilled that his father was precisely because he went out to find the fate of cultivating immortals, and finally died outside with no place to return, so he both longed for cultivating immortals, but also faintly rejected it.

And in fact, when Liu Heng asked this, he suddenly realized that he had never seriously considered this question: Do I really like to cultivate immortals so much?

After a long while, he took a deep breath and said to Liu Heng: "I want to cultivate immortals because...... It's because ...... Well, because the third sister also went to cultivate immortals. ”

With that, he lowered his head uneasily.

Liu Heng slowly showed a smile.

Suddenly, he asked, "Is there still water in the water tank at home?"

Huang Dayuan thought for a while, got up and opened the cylinder head to take a look, and then said, "There is still half a cylinder, I went down to mention it yesterday." I'll go back tomorrow. ”

However, when Liu Heng heard this, he suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go, let's draw water!"

............

A bucket full of water, in normal terms, Liu Heng can walk like a fly, and carry it all the way back to the house, without panting, calm and relaxed.

But now, with a bucket in his two hands, he used all his strength to take a dozen steps, and he was already so tired that he was panting, and from his face to his neck, he was flushed.

Huang Dayuan effortlessly carried another bucket and followed him, seeing his struggling appearance, he was a little worried, and said, "Brother Heng, I'll mention it, I don't have to mention it." ”

couldn't hold on, Liu Heng put down the barrel, but pushed Huang Dayuan's hand away.

After gasping for a while, he looked at Huang Dayuan and said, "I'm still alive, not dead...... As long as I'm not dead, I can't make myself like a leper dog!"

With that, he strained his hands, lifted the barrel again, and walked briskly forward.

When a bucket of water was brought home, Liu Heng was already sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Huang Dayuan was not in a hurry to pour water, but first went to take a basin and poured half a basin of water, handed the sweat towel to Liu Heng, and said, "Brother Heng, you wash and scrub!"

Liu Hengda gasped, and there was some indescribable madness and stubbornness in his eyes.

He shook his head, struggled to pick up the bucket, walked to the tank, and struggled to raise and pour the water.

A bucket of water was poured into it, and when he put down the wooden bucket, he finally let out a sigh of relief, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. Turning around and looking at Huang Dayuan, he smiled brighter and brighter, and said, "Dayuan, look, I can still go and draw water myself, I still have strength, I can't die!"

Huang Dayuan looked at him blankly for a moment, and suddenly laughed happily.

............

When he woke up the next morning, Cheng Hao had already noticed that something was wrong.

In the early morning, the sky was just dawning, and in the courtyard next door, Liu Heng didn't sit there in a daze, but instead carried a wooden barrel, lifted it for a while, and put it down for a while.

Hearing the movement next door, he turned his head and said hello to Cheng Hao, "Good morning, Brother Cheng!"

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Liu Heng had completely put down the barrel, walked to the wall, and said: "Brother Cheng, I think that you carry the burden every day to walk the streets and alleys, sometimes you have less work, but sometimes you have to live more, I don't know if you can take me? I will carry the burden for you, give you a hand, I will sharpen the knife and scissors, I don't want to be paid." I just don't want to be idle. ”
