The day faded away, the night slowly spread into the sky, the sunset gradually turned from red to black, and twilight became the main color of the sky. The lack of moon slowly climbed into the sky, the sun has not completely set, two rounds of roulette wheels of different colors, one in the east, faintly, one in the west, twilight wins blood, intertwined with each other, picturesque.

Under such a blended beauty, the smoke of Fulai Town also rose, after all, the time was not early. The boy slowly stood up and walked towards the hut.

As soon as one foot stepped over the threshold, and before he could enter the house, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Zhou Qingfeng, are you feeling better, I'm here. ”

The boy didn't reply, but the foot that had been stepping into the house was retracted, and he turned his head to look at the door.

After a while, a little chubby boy walked in at the door, with a smile on his face, which made people feel honest and honest at a glance. On the left hand there is a finished rooster or a hen, and in the right hand two jugs of wine that were played in the tavern in the town. There is also a fish basket pinned to his waist, which is not small, but it is unknown whether there are fish in it. He also carried a bamboo basket on his back.

Zhou Qingfeng stepped over the steps and walked towards the honest young man at the door in a few steps, but he didn't see any joy on his face.

When he arrived at the door, he took the wine and chicken from the young man's hand, and then asked angrily, "Zhang Tie, what are you doing here?" Send it back and come back again. ”

The honest young man named Zhang Tie also heard Zhou Qingfeng's unhappiness, and replied with a smile: "Hehe, I'm not about to leave, my mother said that she would kill a chicken for me before I left, no, I asked my mother to kill me today, you have to make some food later, otherwise you can be sorry for my chicken." And that wine, I heard that people in the barracks drink alcohol, and I haven't drunk it either, so why don't you take the money I saved until today to go to the tavern in the town and make two pots, let's have a pot for two people and try it. Hey hey"

Zhou Qingfeng didn't say anything after hearing this, but smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll get you a poached chicken later, but you wait for me first, and I'll go to the town to buy some other things." While saying this, Zhou Qingfeng put his things on the small stone table in the courtyard, and then prepared to go out to the south of the town. Before he could take half a step, he was stopped by Zhang Tie reaching out.

Zhou Qingfeng turned his head to look at Zhang Tie with puzzlement in his eyes.

Zhang Tie didn't care about Zhou Qingfeng's eyes, he just reached out to untie the fish basket and the bamboo basket on his back, and said unhurriedly: "No need, I still have a few small fish I caught in the Dayan Lake early in the morning, as well as the vegetables that my mother bought a lot in the morning, you don't have to buy anything, hehe." ”

Zhou Qingfeng looked at the fish basket and bamboo basket that Zhang Tie had untied, although he vaguely guessed it in his heart, he didn't dare to think about it, after all, Zhang Tie's family was not a rich businessman, but it was just a little better than Zhou Qingfeng, the same ordinary family. The hen that should be able to lay eggs and the things in the bamboo basket are afraid that it will also make the family hurt. The two fresh small fish in the fish basket probably kept Zhang Tie busy for a day, after all, fishing is not an easy task in such a winter.

Dayan Lake is not close to here, Dayan Lake is located about ten miles west of the town, and there is only one trail for entering and exiting the place, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Dayan Lake is also the only lake near the town with a small area, there are many small rivers and streams in the town, and each lane in the town has a deep well for draft, so everyone usually does not have to run to Dayan Lake for water, unless there is a big drought in any year, the people in the town will go to Dayan Lake to fetch water and carry water. The wild goose lake is a very magical place, I don't know because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides or some other reason, this place is cold all the year round, even in the summer ordinary people will stay less than three or four hours will feel the cold into the body, can not stay for a long time, of course, even if it is cold that winter, the wild goose lake will not have the slightest sign of freezing, but as sparkling as before. Therefore, the old people in the town also "made up" some legends for the wild goose lake, some said that the wild goose lake was originally a place where the immortals lived, leaving a treasure, some people say that it was born in the cold pool, and there is a treasure at the bottom of the pool. However, over the years, some people have come to explore the treasure, but they have found nothing. So now these can only deceive some outsiders.

Zhou Qingfeng had also been fishing by Dayan Lake, so he naturally knew how uncomfortable it was for the cold breath to enter his body, so Zhou Qingfeng understood that these two small fish were not easy to come by. But Zhou Qingfeng is not a person who is good at words, so some people in the town, he has some things in mind, and if he is gracious, he will naturally answer that gracious information when others need it, as for those who have hatred, there is no, after all, the town is so big, although there are some intrigues in the town, but they are all trivial things, and there is no deep hatred, of course, it may also be that the people in the town disdain to deal with a mud-legged boy in Daoxiang Lane.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't say anything anymore, but took Zhang Tie's fish basket and bamboo basket with his hand, and beckoned Zhang Tie to help bring the chicken on the table, after all, the time was not early, and it was time to eat.

Zhou Qingfeng took Zhang Tie to the kitchen, the kitchen was simple, but the things were very complete, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, everything. When he arrived at the kitchen, Zhou Qingfeng no longer cared about Zhang Tie, and handled the chicken and fish brought by Zhang Tie very skillfully, and also took out vegetables from the bamboo basket, but what Zhou Qingfeng didn't expect was that there was a string of meat that looked more than a pound under the green vegetables. Seeing this week, Qingfeng also understood that these were probably all the belongings of Zhang Tie's family, and this year, Uncle Zhang's family was afraid that it would be difficult to even uncover the pot. A sigh came from the kitchen.

The sun slowly crept out of the sky, leaving only a round of moonlessness, and the moonlight shone with a silver light. Twilight slowly enveloped the land, and the town was lit up.

Soon, Zhou Qingfeng made a sumptuous dinner, with fish, meat, chicken, three large meat dishes, and three vegetarian dishes, three meat and three vegetarian dishes, such a hearty dish has never appeared on the table of Zhou Qingfeng's house, even when his parents are there.

Zhang Tie looked at the dishes on the table, the corners of his mouth even exaggeratedly drooled, he inhaled sharply, gave Zhou Qingfeng a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I knew that your cooking was delicious, hehe, this fragrance is gone." ”

Zhou Qingfeng looked at Zhang Tie's appearance, and also scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." As he spoke, he handed the dishes and chopsticks to Zhang Tie, and also helped Zhang Tie open a pot of wine.

The two chatted while eating, drinking, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was crawling with stars, and the lack of moon completely occupied the center of the sky.

The two chatted and chatted about Zhang Tie's joining the army, taking advantage of the wine, Zhou Qingfeng didn't care about anything, and blurted out: "I know, I can't stop you, but there are some things, maybe you know, but I still want to say it again, recently our Great Qin Dynasty has suffered heavy losses in the First World War, and joining the army at this time may be cannon fodder." ”

Zhang Tie looked at Zhou Qingfeng's slightly reddened eyes and stopped smiling, but said seriously: "I know, but Brother Feng, I don't want to stay in this small Fulai Town for the rest of my life and live an ordinary life, although I don't know a few big characters, I have also heard that the eldest husband is ambitious, so I want to go out .........."

Zhang Tie's words reminded Zhou Qingfeng of the thrilling stories that the old village chief had told him before, Zhou Qingfeng picked up the wine jug and poured a big sip of wine, and looked in the direction of the old village chief's house.

The night is like a curtain, the stars dot the night sky, the sky is full of stars, like a pearl, like a handful of broken gold, scattered on the jasper plate.

What a good night, what a beautiful picture, but Zhou Qingfeng's heart is not very calm. Go up to the tall building alone, look at the end of the world, and be sad. The cold light shines on the lonely shadow, and the dawn moon reflects the cold heart.
