According to legend, there is a mountain called Yunshan, which is the closest place to the sky. Legend has it that there are countless strange and strange treasures, as well as ancient mythical beasts that do not exist in the world. It is even rumored that anyone who has reached the top of the mountain can make a wish, and the wish will come true immediately.

But this is a legend after all, and no one can confirm it.

The secret of the clouds and mountains is difficult for the world to find.

It's like—

Life is long, and the world is unpredictable.

In a small village to the south, on a small hillside, a young man in a straw hat was staring at the sky in a daze with a dog's tail in his mouth.

"Behold, the fool Lin is in a daze at the sky. Suddenly, a boy about the same age as the Straw Hat boy came running and pointed at the former and smiled.

Immediately afterward, a group of teenagers of the same age came laughing and running.

"Fool Lin, are you fantasizing about Yunshan again? I think you have this spare time, you might as well go home and take care of your dying old lady. ”

"What did you just say!?"

The Straw Hat boy stood up suddenly, grabbed the talking boy and pushed him to the ground.

The boy who was pushed to the ground was also very unconvinced, he didn't expect the straw hat boy to have such a big reaction, and he stood up and scuffled with the straw hat boy. Although he was the same age, the straw hat boy was a little taller and had a lot more strength, so he easily knocked the boy in front of him to the ground again.

The boy was deflated, but he couldn't beat the straw hat boy, so he had to sit on the ground and start crying: "Woo woo, I'm going to tell my father to go." ”

"Don't cry Lizi, I'll help you teach Lin a lesson. ”

"Yes, there are so many of us, we are angry for you!"

The boy who was thrown to the ground was named Li Tang, and his nickname was Li Zi. The teenagers around Li Tang all spoke out of comfort, staring at the straw hat boy fiercely.

But even so, no teenager dared to step forward to be angry for Li Tang, because in their eyes, the straw hat boy in front of them might not be able to fight together.

The straw hat boy patted the dust on his body, and stretched out another one to Li Tang, Li Tang didn't even look at the straw hat boy, still sitting on the ground and crying.

The straw hat boy had no choice but to take his hand back, glanced at Li Tang, and turned to leave.

Seeing the straw hat boy leave like this, Li Tang wiped his tears, stood up and scolded: "Fool Lin! One day I will press you to the ground and beat you violently!"

The Straw Hat boy smiled and ran briskly towards home.

An old wooden house sits in a nondescript mud alley. "Squeak", the boy pushed open the dilapidated gate, an old locust tree is located in the yard, according to the boy's mother, this old locust tree is left by his grandfather, and always said to himself: "Grandpa said, this locust tree is the root of this family, as long as the root is still there, this home, it is still there." ”

But the boy is not familiar with the grandfather in his mother's mouth, and the adults in the village all said that after he was born, his grandfather passed away, and this was his grandfather who refused to leave in order to see his grandson, until he heard his grandson's first cry, and then left with confidence.

In order to remember his grandfather, his mother and father gave themselves a name called Lin Shuang, and his grandfather's name also has a double character, and when taken apart, it is two power words.

The boy pushed the door into the house, habitually took off the straw hat and put it away, this is the only thing left by the boy's father to himself, the boy cherishes it extraordinarily, although the straw hat has long been worn, but the boy will carefully repair it every day.

"Twins. ”

A weak voice came out of the room: "Is that you?"

"Mother, it's me. The boy replied softly, and then walked towards the room inside the room.

In the room, I saw a woman half-lying on the bed, the sun shining on the woman's face, reflecting the pale color, and when I saw the young man, a gentle smile appeared on the pale face.

"Mother. The boy shouted softly, and then sat down beside the woman.

The woman raised her hand and touched the young man's emaciated cheek, her eyes were full of love, and when she saw the dust on the young man's body, she asked softly, "Is there another fight, didn't you promise your mother before?"

"Mother... It's them..."

The boy tried to explain, but was interrupted by the woman.

The woman pinched the young man's face and said, "Whatever the reason, you can't just fight with others. ”

The boy nodded and said, "I promise this is my last time." ”

The woman smiled, and suddenly coughed violently.

The boy was startled, and immediately put his hand on his mother's back and patted it gently.

"Are you better, mother?" asked the boy.

The woman nodded: "Mother is fine, don't worry." ”

The young man exhaled with relief, and then asked: "Mother, are the herbs I picked not working?" Don't worry, I will go to the old man Hu at the head of the village and ask if there are any herbs with better effects, and I will pick them immediately. ”

The woman shook her head, put her hand on the young man's face, and choked up, "Mother is sorry for you." ”

The young man hurriedly shook his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his mother's eyes with his hand, and said, "It's okay, mother, I should take care of you, just like you took care of me when I was a child." ”

The woman did not speak, but took the boy into her arms.

The young man also hugged his mother with his hand and said softly: "Mother, I have grown up now, I help the people in the village to do some things every day, and I can make some money, when I save enough money, I will take you to the town to see a doctor." ”

The woman shook her head and said, "That's it, mother's illness, you can save the money you earn to survive and save it for yourself to marry your daughter-in-law in the future." ”

The young man's cheeks were suddenly slightly red, but he insisted that he would take the woman to the doctor when he had saved enough money, and the woman smiled and touched the young man's head, and the young man looked at the woman and smirked, and his thin cheeks smiled.

Suddenly, the young man saw tears glistening in the woman's eyes, and the young man hurriedly asked, "Mother, are you feeling unwell again?"

The woman wiped her tears and shook her head: "It's okay, my mother is just happy, I'm very happy to have a son like you, my mother is satisfied in this life." ”

"Mother, no, I don't allow you to say such things, you still have a lot of things waiting for you to do in your life, you can't just say that you are satisfied. The boy said.

The woman pinched the young man's thin face.

"Shuang'er, do you know what hometown means?" asked the woman.

The young man nodded, looked at the woman and said, "I know, mother, hometown means a person's hometown, a place where you are born and raised. ”

The woman gently scratched the young man's nose with her hand and smiled, "You are right and wrong. ”

The young man looked at the woman puzzled, "What does that mean?"

The woman thought for a while, looked out the window, and said slowly: "Hometown, a place full of memories, a place you hate and yearn for, a peaceful and beautiful place......"

The young man was puzzled and asked, "Mother, why is my hometown a place that people hate and like?"

The woman smiled and said softly, "Because, there is such a magic place in my hometown. ”

The boy was even more confused, scratching his head indiscriminately.

The woman smiled and said softly, "You will understand later." ”

The young man nodded, and suddenly held the woman's thin and almost bony hand with two small hands, and asked in an expectant tone, "Mother, what is your hometown like?"

Suddenly, the woman was stunned.

"Mother?" the young man shouted.

The woman came back to her senses, held the young man's hand with her backhand, but looked out the window, and said softly: "Mother's hometown, it is a beautiful and calm place, with mountains, rivers, flowers, and birds......"

The young man was so engrossed that the woman suddenly stopped, and with a little tear in her eyes, the young man hurriedly wiped her away with his hand.

"Twins. The woman called out the boy's name.

The young man replied, "I'm here, mother." ”

"If one day your mother is gone, you have to take care of yourself, don't be picky eaters, don't fight all the time, and don't ......"

The woman began to choke, and the young man hurriedly covered the woman's mouth with his hand, shook his head with tears in his eyes, and said, "Don't say it, mother, your illness will be fine." ”

This time, the woman pulled away the young man's hand with her hand, shook her head and said: "Mother doesn't have much time, I just hope that after my mother leaves, you can take care of yourself, and my mother is sorry for ......you in this life."

"Don't talk about it, mother, you'll be fine......" The young man choked up and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the old man Hu at the entrance of the village to get the medicine now, wait for me, mother." With that, the boy ran out.

......Before the woman could shout, she coughed violently. The woman hurriedly covered it with her hand, and a pool of bright red blood appeared in the palm of her hand, and the woman was about to wipe it away with a handkerchief, but there was a violent cough. The woman spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell down.

"Shuang'er ......" The woman looked at the young man's distant figure in a daze, and suddenly, tears appeared in her eyes again.

"You're here, can you wait? I want to take one last look at Shuang'er......," the woman choked up and said, "I can't rest assured Shuang'er, I'm sorry for him in my life, such a young child......"

As she spoke, the woman's tone grew weaker and weaker, and in a daze, she heard her name being called.

"Let's go, Light. ”

"I want to wait a little longer......."

"It's futile to wait any longer, have you forgotten what you said?"

The woman was speechless.

At this moment, the most beautiful flower in the world slowly withered.

The young man ran towards the entrance of the village like crazy, but halfway through the run, he saw the old man Hu at the entrance of the village walking towards him.

"Grandpa Beard, please tell me what medicine can cure my mother's illness!" the boy hurriedly asked.

Old man Hu shook his head, his old hand touched the young man's head, and said in a muddy voice: "Go home." ”

"I have to go collect medicine, I have to save my mother. ”

The young man insisted, but saw Old Man Hu walking in the direction of his home, and the young man was anxious and hurriedly followed.

The young man pushed open the dilapidated front yard gate, then stepped aside and made a gesture of please, and only after the old man Hu entered the door, did the young man follow.

"Mother, I'm back with my bearded grandfather, and your illness will be cured soon. ”

The boy shouted into the room, but there was no response, and the boy thought to himself, could it be that he was asleep, and then shouted again.

"Mother?"

"Stop shouting. Old man Hu's old voice came.

Old man Hu's words were inserted into the young man's heart like a needle, and the young man was stunned in place, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he rushed to the house. I saw the woman lying quietly on the bed in the dim room.

"Mother?" the young man walked over tremblingly.

"Mother?" the young man shouted tentatively again, and when he saw the puddle of blood on the ground, a strong feeling exploded in the young man's mind. At this moment, the boy felt as if the whole sky had fallen.

The young man staggered over, stretched out his hand and held the woman in his arms, and the young man quietly looked at the woman's face, serene and calm. The boy wiped the blood from the corner of the woman's mouth with his hand and brushed the woman's hair.

At this time, Old Man Hu walked over and said slowly: "Life and death are the laws of the world, and people will eventually die. Your mother's illness has long been incurable, and this can be regarded as a relief for your mother. ”

The boy couldn't help but cry, he regretted why he insisted on running out at that time, and if he hadn't run out, he would have seen the woman one last time.

"I'm sorry, mother, I'm sorry......" The young man hugged the woman and cried bitterly.

Old man Hu sighed, turned around slowly, and suddenly, the old man's eyes froze, and a trace of cyan breath flashed in his eyes.

"You've seen it, it's time to go to your own place!" Old man Hu looked at the air, and then, a wisp of black gas slowly disappeared.

(It's a bit messy in the early stage, and it will be improved later.) ）
