A bowl was placed on the ground, upside down, Xiao Baoxue knelt on the bowl, and her mother held a bamboo root in her hand, angry and asked, "Why don't you study hard?"

Of course, Xiao Xue couldn't answer, one word, type. Even if you are lucky enough to answer, I'm sorry, I will still be very unceremonious to invite you to eat a meal of yellow wattle noodles. That taste, sour!

The mountain people are simple-minded, and they are more respectful of filial piety under the stick, and they are right, and they take it for granted that beating is a hundred treasure scriptures, and beating can solve all the problems of children. You must know that how can the mountain people have such good patience and self-cultivation? Their means are to fight, which is simple, rude, and effective, and easy to use.

Children are playful by nature, and it is inevitable to make mistakes, so again and again, Xiao Xue has a deep fear of the adult world, and compared with before, he is much more taciturn.

Not long after, on this day, Xiao Baoxue, as usual, went to the back mountain alone to pack up the rabbit bow, and then rushed back, and when he returned home, he found that there were two uninvited guests at home.

One of them, five big and three thick, with a fat head and big ears, and a fierce face, was none other than Yao Buren, a well-known evil butcher in the village. I heard my friends say after tea and dinner that this Yao Buren has a little relationship with a certain big man in the town, and he speaks very well in the village, and the people in the village basically look for him when they kill pigs.

Xiao Xue secretly said in her heart that it was not good, and when she looked closely, she saw that the flower hunter was brushing the pot and boiling water outside the door, this is the rhythm of slaughtering his pigs.

Although the little piglets in the past have long grown into big fat pigs, in the eyes of Xiao Jixue, everything has not changed, and it is still the same as when I first saw the little pig. Xiao Xue hurriedly put down the trap in her hand, ran to the pigsty with a smoke, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the pig was arching impatiently, refusing to live.

"Come here", Xiao Baoxue stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and the pig immediately quieted down, closed his eyes as usual, and lay on the ground, accepting Xiao Baoxue's comfort.

When the flower hunter saw Xiao Xue squatting in front of the pigsty, he immediately said, "Xue Xue, come and help, kill the pig!"

"What, you're going to kill my pig!" Xiao Xue opened his eyes wide, his face was full of disbelief, although he already had an ominous premonition in his heart, but when he heard Flower Orion say this decision, his little face was still full of shock, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

Hua Orion glared at Xiao Xue and scolded, "Raising pigs is killed!

"Dad, can you not kill my pig, please!" Xiao Xue was bitter in his heart, and after half a year of getting along with the pig, he poured his heart and soul into it, condensed his friendship, and saw that he was about to separate, he felt a faint stinging pain in his heart, and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and forcibly held back, begging bitterly.

"No!" the flower hunter said in a resolute tone, and there was no room for discussion in this matter.

The two words shattered the last remaining illusion in Xiao Baoxue's heart, he closed his eyes, hugged the pig in his arms, burst into tears, and cried out in a trembling voice: "You are not allowed to kill my pig!"

The butcher Yao Buren picked up a basin of hot water, scrubbing the sharp knife and hook, and frowned: "Pull him away, don't get in the way!"

"Leave him alone, little child, it'll be fine in two days!" Xiao Baoxue's mother was indifferent on the side, watching coldly, in her heart, Xiao Baoxue is a child, and if you are a child, you can't get used to it.

However, after squeezing his eyes, the flower hunter rushed over, stretched out his big strong hands, and forcibly picked up Xiao Xue Xue. Xiao Xue struggled desperately, he cried, jumped, made trouble, tried everything he could, kicked with his feet, pinched with his hands, and even opened his mouth to bite the arm of the flower hunter, but it was still to no avail, his resistance seemed so pale and weak.

Butcher Yao held a hook in his right hand, hooked the pig's nose with one hand, and then, with a sharp knife in his left hand, stabbed it in.

Xiao Xue watched the pig make a miserable scream, the white knife went in, the red knife came out, the blood gushed out of the pig's neck crazily, he felt a deep sense of despair, and a sense of powerlessness, the small placket, the rain wet his face.

The butcher's helper lifted the ladder, and several men hurriedly hung the pig upside down.

"Ah...... No", Xiao Xue felt that the knife was not only stabbed in the pig's body, but also in his heart, and since then, in the wind and rain, he has hidden that innocence deep in his heart. Maybe on a haunting night, in the deepest part of my heart, in that soft place, there is a kind of longing, called the heart of a child.

It was at that moment that Xiao Luoxue was full of hostility to the adult world, and since then, he has put on a vigilant cloak in his heart. Perhaps this is the price of growth, giving up innocence and moving towards indifference.

Since then, Xiao Baoxue never picks artemisia seeds again, never feeds pigs again, no matter how hard his parents talk about it, he doesn't say a word, he doesn't talk about it. Perhaps, any thing, as long as it is infused with sincerity, will become meaningful!

After experiencing this incident, Xiao Baoxue has obviously changed a lot, he seems to have become sensible, his academic performance has improved, and he is getting better and better, but outsiders have not noticed that in his eyes, it is imperceptible, and he is a little less smart.

In view of Xiao Baoxue's excellent performance, soon, Xiao Baoxue realized his long-awaited wish, fishing, and his mother used Xiao Baoxue's own hands to catch fish to improve his food and strengthen nutrition.

It's just that when Xiao Xue Xue came to this point, he suddenly found that everything was just like that! Once, he and his friends frantically collected matchbox skins, and every time a new matchbox pattern was added, it was like a treasure; and he didn't go home after school, secretly playing with glass balls on the road, watching the glass balls in his hand increase day by day, and couldn't sleep. Now that I think about it, that's it!

Day after day, life goes on.

Xiao Xue was quickly nine years old and successfully promoted to the third grade.

In addition to studying, he was thinking, thinking about something that didn't belong to his age. He thought life would be like this, going to school, going home, going home, going home, and going on and on.

Until that day, he went home early, far away at the entrance of the village, and found a few big cars that only exist in the movie, Jiefang brand trucks, green skin, printed with a big red five-pointed star, very conspicuous.

Xiao Luoxue walked to the car curiously and asked in a low voice, "Are you uncles of the People's Liberation Army?"

A young man got out of the car, with two bars and a star on his shoulders, and said to Xiao Luoxue in a very gentle voice: "Little friend, go home quickly! We are your uncles of the People's Liberation Army! As for the rest, keep it secret!"

Xiao Baoxue wanted to ask a few more questions, but she was unceremoniously rejected by the young man, so she could only walk home angrily.

When he walked to the door of the house, he actually found two PLA uncles standing side by side in front of the door, one on the left and one on the right, with a serious expression, standing straight, and a tower-like figure, not angry and arrogant.

Xiao Xue was about to go home, but the two uncles stretched out their hands to block it, and they didn't let him enter the house.

Xiao Baoxue was stunned, and couldn't help but say, "This is my home!

One of the uncles nodded, said "Wait a minute", and walked towards the house.

After a while, the uncle just now walked out, but followed by a little boy, the little boy with blue hair, dressed fashionably, dressed novelly, peculiar, not the current mainstream, if you have to use words to describe, that is, handsome, trendy, cool, looks energetic, a pair of big black eyes, staring at Xiao Xue up and down.

The little boy stretched out his right hand, nodded politely, and said, "Hello, I, Yi Leng!"

It turned out that the little boy's name was Yi Leng, but from his dress, speech, and demeanor, it can be seen that he is definitely not from an ordinary family!

"I ...... My name is Hua Baoxue!" Xiao Baoxue timidly stretched out her hand and shook it with Yi Leng.

From the completely different performances of Yi Leng and Hua Xue at this time, it can be seen that the family environment is important to a person's growth. is easy to be cold and generous, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and on the other hand, he is restrained, restrained, and can't let go of his hands and feet, and he is invisibly dwarf.

A glint flashed in Yi Leng's eyes, and without a trace, he pulled up Xiao Jixue's arm and said as he walked: "My grandfather and your father are talking about something! Let's go sit over there for a while!"

"This", Xiao Xue was a little hesitant, but he still followed Yi Leng to the tree in front of the court, he wanted to resist, but Yi Leng gave people a feeling like a spring breeze, so he couldn't refuse.

"Don't be afraid! we're going to that mountain, the mayor said your dad is the best hunter in the area, and we'd like to ask your dad to lead the way!" Yi Leng pointed to a mountain range in the distance, his expression calm.

"Don't go there, there are tigers and poisonous snakes, it's very dangerous!" In Xiao Luoxue's mind, he couldn't help but think of the earnest admonitions of the old people, what Yi Leng was going to was the taboo area in his memory, Cockscomb Mountain.

Legend has it that it is a land of mysteries, mysteries, and mysteries. The old people often warned the children that there was once a hundred-year-old snake entrenched there, with a cockscomb on its head, and it was the king of snakes, and he could command the snakes. In addition, the mountains are overgrown with weeds and thorns, making it extremely difficult to walk, and although it is not a primeval forest, it is not far away.

Yi Leng laughed, patted Xiao Baoxue's shoulder, and comforted: "Don't be afraid!

"It's just that you're afraid!" Xiao Xue pouted, and the words of disbelief were written on her little face.

"Hehe! Hehe!" Yi Leng suddenly fell into an embarrassing place, and hurriedly found an opportunity to forcibly pull the topic away, and said with a smile: "Hua Luoxue, how old are you this year?"
