On the edge of the Qin Kingdom, surrounded by mountains and a huge lake in the middle, it is said that it was formed by a meteorite falling from the sky thousands of years ago.

When the sun rises, the lake is surrounded by mist, verdant trees, and beautiful birds.

This huge lake is called Xuyao Lake by the local people who live around the lake, and the local village that lives around the lake is called Xuyao Village.

Speaking of this Xuyao Village, it is said that the first villagers were refugees who fled here to escape the war more than 200 years ago.

Because it is surrounded by mountains, it is not easy for the army to enter the mountain, and there are evil beasts around to disturb each other, but only here the evil beasts dare not enter, and there are no demons and ghosts.

It was the first generation of villagers who chose to settle here, and after the war outside was calmed down, the villagers dared to open a channel to the outside to communicate with the outside world for business purposes.

However, due to the long distance between Xuyao Village and the dangerous roads, it takes a day to go back and forth, so Xuyao Village has always been in a backward stage of self-sufficiency.

Fortunately, the people in the village live a simple life, and their lives are happy, comfortable and stable.

The afterglow of the setting sun turned the clouds on the horizon red.

With the last of its strength, Yuxia pierced through the leaves of Xuyao Village, forming scattered mottled shadows on the ground.

The people of the village were laughing and tidying up their clothes and dried fish outside.

In the shallow waters of the lake, a few neighborhood children dressed in light gray cloth are playing and playing, competing to see whose pebbles can float far on the lake.

"Haha, Xiaoyu, you see that my pebbles are drifting far away. ”

In the shallow waters of the lake, less than two or three meters away, stood two little boys.

One of the boys, who was a little taller, said proudly to the thin boy next to him, who was wearing a coarse gray coat that was one size older than himself.

"Wow, Shaochu, why are you so powerful? You can make the stones float so far!"

This skinny boy known as Xiaoyu has an incredible face.

His eyes were still on the boy named Shaochu just now, and the stones he threw fell in the distance on the lake, his little face was full of amazement, and his little heart was filled with a sense of admiration.

But suddenly, he seemed to remember something in his heart, and followed him a little depressedly, and at this time, Shaochu with a smug face said: "By the way, can you not call me Xiaoyu?

Xiaoyu was displeased on her thin and yellowed immature face due to malnutrition at this time.

He couldn't figure out why his parents gave him such a feminine name: Lin Yu.

He also asked his parents about this, but they always said to him with a funny face: "Because when you were born, it happened to be raining, and our surname happened to be Lin, so I just called you Lin Yu, isn't the name simple and easy to remember?"

But every time they finished speaking, they would laugh out loud, as if the name was funny.

Lin Yu was helpless, just because his own parents thought that this name was simple and easy to remember, so he made fun of his friends when he was a child.

Fortunately, he looks ordinary, and he only has a little side with Qingxiu, otherwise I am afraid that he will have a nickname.

"Hahahaha"

Looking at the blocked look on Lin Yu's face, the little boy named Shaochu laughed again.

After laughing for a while, he noticed that Lin Yu pulled down his face little by little, as if he was about to be angry, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, I just forgot it for a while, I can't get used to the name Ah Lin, others also call you like this, it's a big deal that I will change it slowly in the future." ”

"Alas. ”

Lin Yu sighed, thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is also the case, the friends around him are used to calling themselves Xiaoyu.

For a while, how could it be possible for the little friends around him to change their names to Ah Lin?

What's more, I have played with them since I was a child, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to change my words for a while.

Lin Yu was about to say something when his mother's gentle call came from not far away.

"Xiaoyu, it's already a little dark, hurry up and go to the village entrance to pick up your father who is hunting home. ”

Listening to the source of the voice, I am afraid it came from the kitchen of his house.

"Hey. ”

Xiaoyu answered, looked at the sun that had slowly set on the mountain, a trace of night was quietly approaching, and he thought that his father should be back soon at this time.

After saying hello to his friends beside him, Xiaoyu hurriedly rushed to the entrance of the village with her little feet.

The villagers of Xuyao Village usually focus on fishing by the lake and hunting in the mountains, supplemented by farming.

The fry are harvested during the harvest season, and occasionally they have to go up to the mountains to hunt.

Then, on the day of the monthly market, the villagers, led by the village chief, form teams to exchange supplies and necessities.

And tomorrow happens to be the market day, and Lin Yu's father went to the mountains to hunt today, which is for this.

I want to try my luck and see if I can catch a few more pieces of game in exchange for more supplies and supplies.

Lin Yu's pace was hurried, and he came to the entrance of the village after a while. He looked up and saw a familiar figure walking slowly from a distance, Lin Yu knew that this person was his father.

He hurriedly quickened his pace and ran over, and when he got closer, Lin Yu saw his father's sturdy body carrying a wild deer on his shoulder, and a few rabbits and wild birds on his left and right hands, it seemed that he had gained a lot today.

"Daddy. ”

Lin Yu saw his father crying happily, and stepped forward to carry the two fat rabbits from his father's hands.

I didn't expect that he was less than six years old, and his body was so thin, that he could still pick up these two rabbits, which together were more than a dozen pounds.

"Xiaoyu, are you good today?"

Lin Yu's father, Lin Yi, stroked Lin Yu's head dotingly with a big hand he had just freed, and asked with a smile.

Without waiting for Lin Yu to reply, Lin Yi pointed to the wild deer he was carrying on his shoulders and continued.

"Today, your father and I hit a lot of game, didn't you say last time that you wanted to eat rock sugar gourds in the outside city, tomorrow, my father will take you to the city to eat for a while, okay?"

As soon as Lin Yu heard his father say that he was going to take him to the city tomorrow and eat the coveted rock sugar gourd, his eyes immediately lit up, and his clear eyes looked bright and bright under the light of the windows in the village.

He was very greedy for this rock sugar gourd, and the first time he tasted the rock sugar gourd, it was his friend Shaochu's father who brought back a string of rock sugar gourds from the city.

The one that Shaochu gave him, when he put it in his mouth, he still can't forget the sweet and greasy taste in his mouth.

Moreover, his young and immature heart has long been full of yearning for the prosperity of the outside world.

Even if the round-trip journey was doubled, two days round-trip, he was willing to follow his father.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu looked at his father in disbelief and asked, his father's tall and muscular figure.

"Dad, are you telling the truth? I can go with you to the outside town tomorrow? You can also eat rock sugar gourd? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Facing Lin Yu's repeated questions, Lin Yi knew that at this time, his son was afraid that he would be happy.

He smiled: "Of course it's true, in our village, children who are usually over six years old can be taken by their parents to the outside towns to see it." But--"

Lin Yi paused deliberately, raised his voice and said, "It takes a day to go to the outside town, can you little doll endure this hardship?"

Without waiting for Lin Yi to finish speaking, Lin Yu hurriedly said: "Of course you can, of course you can!"

He patted his chest with his little hand, and said to Lin Yi with a serious face.

"Dad, don't underestimate me, I'm a man!"

After hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that his son would know what it means to be a man at a young age.

Looking at the serious look on his immature face, Lin Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, he noticed for the first time that his child seemed to have grown up a little.

Silently, Lin Yi's mood seemed to return to when Lin Yu was born.

Lin Yu is a premature baby, and the date of birth is a month and a half earlier than the expected date of delivery.

But Lin Yu doesn't seem to be like this, he was born thinner than ordinary children.

Some of other people's children can get out of bed and learn to walk before they are less than a year old, but he can't do it until he is two years old, which can break the hearts of Lin Yi and his wife, and they pay twice as much care for this as ordinary parents.

They often think in their hearts that as long as Lin Yu is safe and quiet in this life, and they spend their lives ordinary, they will already be satisfied, and they will not dare to think about anything else.

And now he is looking at Lin Yu, who is not very old, less than his waist, and has a serious face.

He found that his eyes were a little moist, and he thought to himself that when his son grew up in the future, he should be able to take on the responsibility of life without relying on me and his mother, and live well!

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Lin Yi wrapped Lin Yu's thin body around his waist and said with a smile: "My son is a man!"

Walking, walking, the figures of the two gradually disappeared at the village road crossing.
