Since Grandpa and Qian'er left, Haolin's smile has decreased a lot. The people in the village all knew that Wang Tianyuan had left with Qian'er, and the old people were worried that they would have to run far to the town to have Langzhong, and they were afraid that they would have to suffer a lot in the future, but they believed that Wang Tianyuan should have gone out to have something to do, and maybe he would come back soon, after all, he could not leave Haolin, the only seedling.

The simple mountain people spontaneously took on the responsibility of taking care of Haolin, Xiaohe Village is not big, there are more than a dozen families, and the neighborhood relationship is very harmonious, just like relatives. The concern of the villagers made Haolin's heart somewhat warm.

Haolin early in the morning, practicing his grandfather's mind Liuhe boxing, in the afternoon is wandering in the ocean of books, those boring books, he can also read with relish, Haolin doesn't know when he started to love reading so much, love to practice boxing, he used to be very annoying, he prefers to play.

Time shuttles, three years have passed, into the 14-year-old Haolin, blankly watching the villagers singing and dancing around the bonfire, another Spring Festival, three years of waiting, so that Haolin gradually accepted the fact that grandpa and Qian'er will not come back, shattered the little hope in the bottom of the heart, and a dull shadow shrouded in Haolin's heart.

"Haolin, why don't you dance together. Xu Ermao came over with a roast rabbit leg and handed it to Haolin: "Here, eat something." I'm still thinking about your grandfather and Qian'er, although I don't know where they went, I think they will definitely come back, it's okay, we are with you. Xu Ermao sat down next to Haolin and hugged Haolin's shoulders and said.

took the rabbit leg and took a bite of it, looking at this good friend who had played since he was a child, Haolin's mood was a little better: "Thank you for always being with me like this." Haolin was in a better mood and began to joke about Ermao, and he didn't want to be cold to Ermao.

"Ermao, after the Spring Festival, I want to go to the town to have a look, go out for a walk, and maybe I can meet grandpa and Qian'er. ”

"Oh, let's go out and have a look, find something to do, then won't we see each other for a long time!"

"I'll be coming back to see you guys often. Haolin patted Ermao's shoulder, barely squeezing out a smile.

"That's okay, if it's not interesting, you come back, Xiaohe Village will always be your home, and there are still us here. Ermao no longer persuaded him, he knew that it was impossible to change what Haolin had made up his mind about.

Watching the bonfire dance gradually come to an end, Haolin, who was in a good mood, said hello to the villagers and walked home. Back at home, Haolin fell asleep on the bed.

In the early hours of the morning, it was still dark, and there were stars in the sky, and a short figure appeared at the head of Xiaohe Village, walking in the direction of Moqiu Town.

This person is none other than Hao Lin, he chose to leave quietly in the early hours of the morning, he burned all the books that his grandfather left him, because he already remembered them, with clothes and food, holding a torch, he set out on the road he had walked three years ago.

The sky has been bright, Haolin is standing at the intersection of entering Moqiu Town, long-term exercise has allowed him to easily climb over the two mountains, but his head is slightly hot, but his heart is not as calm as the surface, three years ago Grandpa took him and Qian'er to the market for the first time, today is the second time he came here, but he is alone, all kinds of emotions in his heart are tossing and rolling.

Entering the town, Haolin walked aimlessly along the right side of the street with his head down, nibbling on hard dry food in his hand, thinking about what to do in the town, he could do nothing but hunt and have a little more strength.

"Let's take a look around, there are so many shops in town, see who wants a guy, settle down first. Haolin began to look around.

Seeing a tavern, Haolin walked in and said to the person behind the counter, "Do you need a guy here?"

The people behind the counter were busy settling accounts, and it was time to eat breakfast, so they didn't raise their heads and said loudly: "Go, don't you need it, aren't you busy?"

Haolin walked out of the tavern with a little embarrassment under the curious gaze of the tavern guests, he had not yet felt the taste of being rejected, especially in front of everyone, his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

Standing outside the tavern for a while, taking a deep breath, Haolin mustered up the courage to continue looking, the four big words "Ji's Pharmacy" came into view, Haolin remembered that he was quite proficient in herbal medicine, so he walked in quickly. "Do you need a buddy here?" asked the old man who was dozing off in a chair behind the counter, for fear of refusal, he quickly added, "I can know all kinds of herbs, I know them well." ”

The old man opened his eyes and looked at Hao Lin, "Where did you come from, the old man has been in charge of the pharmacy for more than 30 years, and he doesn't dare to say that he knows all kinds of herbs, and you dare to brag nonsense?" The shopkeeper saw that it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child who was making a big fuss, so he was a little annoyed that he disturbed himself.

"You can test me, I promise you know them all. Haolin said hurriedly.

"Go, we don't need a buddy here. The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed.

Haolin pursed his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally turned around and left.

Moqiu Town is not big, Haolin has turned the two streets around, seeing that it is about to get dark, there are no people on the street, and some shops have closed their doors early, people see that he is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, no one wants him, after all, what can a child do.

Thinking of what happened one day, tears fell from his eyes uncontrollably, and Haolin was afraid that others would laugh at him, so he squatted down on the street corner and lowered his head.

"Auntie, you see, there's a kid crying there. A female voice came, Haolin hurriedly wiped away his tears with his sleeve, held back his tears and stood up, his eyes were still red.

"Child, are you in any trouble, tell Aunt Zhou. A kind middle-aged woman, holding a little girl about the same age as Haolin, walked over to Haolin.

"Yes, yes, you see, we might be able to help you. The little girl also nodded quickly.

Looking at the kind Aunt Zhou, Haolin said his idea of finding a job and what happened to him one day.

"So that's the case, look at your body is quite strong, from the mountains, the children in the town don't have such a strong body as you. Aunt Zhou looked at Haolin.

"Well, I'm from Xiaohe Village in Xiaohe Mountain. Haolin pointed in the direction of Xiaohe Village.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Haolin. ”

"That's it, come with me, my family has opened a martial arts gym, and there is a shortage of guys, you can go to our house first. After speaking, Aunt Zhou took Haolin to turn left and right in the town, and finally stopped in an inconspicuous alley, Haolin looked at the door that was not very big, there was a plaque hanging on the door, and the words "Zhou's Martial Arts Hall" could be seen clearly by the faint light. In this inconspicuous alley, there is also an inconspicuous martial arts hall.

Entered the martial arts hall, walked through a flat open space that was not very spacious, there were many shelves on both sides of the open space, there were many weapons on the shelves, and came to the hall of the martial arts hall, there was no one in the hall, only a faint lamp, around the hall, Aunt Zhou took Haolin to a small room: "You will live here in the future, the family is not big, there is such a small room left, I will bring you some quilts in a while." With that, he turned around and left.

Haolin pushed open the door, a lot of dust fell from the door, it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, the room is dark, nothing can be seen, Haolin groped his way to the bed, sat on the bed and bowed his head silently.

After a while, Aunt Zhou came over with a quilt and a lamp, hung the lamp on the wall, and handed Haolin a rag: "You wipe the bed, I'll make the bed for you." ”

"In the future, you will work in the martial arts hall, and we can't give you too high a salary, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing here, and when you grow up a little later, you can go to work outside." Aunt Zhou said enthusiastically while making the bed.

By the faint light, Haolin looked at the hut, it was not very big, a bed, a small wardrobe, and a small table, just enough to put down such things. Sitting on the bed, smelling the smell of dust in the air, and nibbling on dry food, Haolin's heart finally settled down a little, even a dilapidated hut could bring a touch of warmth and security to him who was helpless.

The sky was slightly bright, Haolin habitually woke up, opened his eyes, and remembered that he was already in the Zhou Martial Arts Hall. Pushed open the door of the room and looked at it, the small courtyard is not big, there are two rooms opposite, one can be seen to be the kitchen, and the other must be Aunt Zhou's room.

Hao Lin stood in the courtyard for a while, and then went to the martial arts practice ground in the front yard to exercise, and morning exercise was a habit he had developed for many years.

"I don't see that you can punch well, and you can still fight. Haolin didn't notice that Aunt Zhou had been standing at the door of the hall for a while.

"Aunt Zhou. Haolin looked at Sister Zhao at the door of the hall: "This is what my grandfather taught me to exercise." ”

"Well, let's go, let's go to the backyard for breakfast. After speaking, Aunt Zhou walked to the backyard.

The days in the martial arts hall passed quickly, learning martial arts together during class time every day, helping Aunt Zhou do some housework after class, Haolin lived a very fulfilling and satisfying life, and also met a lot of good friends.

At the end of the year, the students of the martial arts hall went home for the festival after the assessment, and Haolin, who was suddenly idle, seemed to have suddenly lost the direction of his life, he wanted to go back to Xiaohe Village to see, but he thought that he was the only one at home when he went back, and he couldn't help but dispel this idea, and he could only exercise in the martial arts field all day long.

"Haolin, are you there?" Duan Fengcai's voice came from the martial arts field, this is Haolin's best friend, and the two of them usually have the most fun.

"Haolin, Feng Cai should have come to play with you, you can go to the town with him to play, there is nothing to do these days. Aunt Zhou, who was busy in the kitchen, said.

"Then I'll go, and I'll be back in the afternoon. Hao Lin rushed to the martial arts field.

"Wait, wait for me. Zhao Lingyao suddenly rushed out of the room, this is Aunt Zhou's niece and Haolin's good friend.

"Lingyao, you are not allowed to go out, stay at home!" Aunt Zhou said sternly while standing at the kitchen door.

"I want to go out and have fun, stay at home every day, I'm about to get sick. Zhao Lingyao looked at Aunt Zhou with tears in her eyes and said.

"Don't pretend, I won't eat you. Aunt Zhou glanced at Zhao Lingyao: "You just aren't allowed to go out." ”

Zhao Lingyao suddenly laughed mischievously, ran over and shook Aunt Zhou's arm: "Auntie, just let me go out to play, today's holiday, everyone is playing outside, can you bear to lock me up at home alone? I'll go out to play for an hour, no, I'll be back in half an hour, I promise!"

Aunt Zhou sighed and said, "Alas, you can go, but you are only allowed to play for half an hour." ”
