In the west corner of the mountain village, not far behind my uncle's house.

Inside a bare courtyard wall. Most of the mud houses have collapsed, and the entire courtyard is in tatters and has been abandoned for many years.

Lin Yi's uncle had a dry face, and although no one noticed it in the night, he rubbed his hands dryly. He felt sorry for his nephew.

Although it was because of the family's financial constraints, he was unable to repair the eldest brother's house in time, but this honest man still felt ashamed in his heart!

"This black one, go back! I'll ask a few people to clean up tomorrow, okay?"

"Uncle, Cui'er has also grown up, and it is inconvenient to live at home, and this firewood house can still live in people, which is enough for a small one to live in. ”

Lin Yi walked to a side room, for him, night was no different from day.

Looking at the dilapidated home in front of him, Lin Yi didn't want to leave again. Several houses have collapsed and their roofs are exposed, but only this one is still intact.

"What nonsense! How can there be people living here!" Lin Kaiqu was a little anxious.

"Uncle, I'll live here. Lin Yi stood still, looking around.

"This kid, what do you want Uncle to say!" Lin Kaiqu spun around in place, stomped his feet, sighed and turned to leave.

With a creak, I pushed the door open, and a damp musty smell hit my face. Lin Yi pinched a trick casually, and a small whirlwind swirled out of the house, sweeping away the dust and mildew in the house.

The partial house is not big, and the walls are empty.

This is his home!Lin Yi sighed lightly!

It's not that I'm not seeing my uncle, but I've been accustomed to a person's purity for many years. What's more, this is my home!

After a while, Lin Kaiqu sent straw mats, mattresses and other things, and there was a lot of blame in his words.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the straw mat in the hut, and the wormwood lit in the corner of the house curled gently. This thing can repel mosquitoes and insects, which is the kindness of my uncle and aunt. Although he didn't need it, his heart was still warm.

The night sky of the mountain village is dotted with stars......

After sitting quietly for a long time, Lin Yi couldn't settle down. He is very unfamiliar with the affection of his parents, and he doesn't understand what it's like to be loved by his parents, and he has never experienced it. But in the old house of this family, my heart longs for the existence of my parents, imagining that I am like others, calling my father and mother, just like Cui'er, with carefree satisfaction and happiness.

Lin Yi lay down. Lay down for the first time in several years.

He was tired, tired, and fell into a deep sleep...... Dad's appearance is very vague, and his smile is very kind...... The mother's embrace is so warm, and there are softly sung ballads......

In the dream, he smiled, but the corners of his eyes were moist......

It's sleeping at home! I don't want to wake up......

......

When the sky was covered with a touch of blue, the mountain village, which had been silent all night, slowly woke up......

“...... Brother, are you up......" As a crisp voice sounded, Cui'er's floral cloth clothes shook at the door.

She saw her brother slowly open his eyes, sat up, and looked at herself with a smile.

Tsui Er smiled happily and walked closer.

"Brother, are you sleeping well, aren't you afraid to sleep here alone?" Cui'er's big eyes stared at her brother curiously.

Lin Yi sat up a little lost and subconsciously rubbed his eyes, as if the dry tears were still there. He slowly came back to his senses, looked at the lovely Cui'er in front of him, and said softly, "Don't be afraid!

"Let's go to town today, brother?" asked Cui'er earnestly.

"What are you going to do in town?, Cui'er is going too?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"I went to sell herbs, and my father said that he would save some money for my brother to repair the house, and he said that he would take me there too!" Cui'er said proudly, with a look of anticipation.

"The herbs are all picked in the mountains, dried in the sun, and then you can go to the town to exchange money. Cui'er also picked a lot!"

Lin Yi walked out of the hut, and Cui'er jumped up and down to follow her, and the sound like a silver bell kept ringing.

......

Lin Yi and Cui'er came to the front yard and saw their uncle and aunt carrying herbs in the back basket. The latter is inevitably blamed again.

He smiled, and even said that he slept very soundly, and went up to help get up.

"Little one, uncle went to town. You only came home yesterday, so you can rest at home today and talk to your aunt. You can also feel free to walk around and see outside the village. Lin Kaiqu commanded.

"Uncle, I'm not tired, I'll go with you!" Cui'er cheered when she heard Lin Yi say this.

Lin Yi stopped, he took out a small package from his arms, handed it to his uncle, and said, "Put these uncles away and keep them for use." ”

The nephew was also going to the town together, which made Lin Kaiqu feel comfortable, so he took the package and said, "That's fine! This is ......?" Zhang also came over curiously.

Before long, the couple exclaimed and pushed the package back together.

"Mother——! I've never seen so much money in my life! where did you get this?" Zhang covered his chest with one hand and let out an exclamation.

"Kid, where did this come from, don't ......!" Lin Kaiqu looked surprised, he looked around carefully, and asked in a low tone.

"Uncle, aunt, this money is clean, rest assured. Guessing the other party's concern, Lin stuffed the package into his uncle's arms again.

"These silver taels are from the Taoist temple for many years of worship. Seeing that his uncle and aunt were still full of horror on their faces, he had no choice but to comfort each other like this. It's hard to go into detail for a while, and I'm afraid I can't say it clearly.

Seeing Lin with a smile on his face, the two of them looked calm, and said suspiciously: "Even so, these silver coins are just used for you to build a house and marry a wife, what will you do for us in the future?"

Not knowing how to persuade the other party, Lin Yi said helplessly: "Uncle, aunt, these coins are for nephews to honor their elders." ”

"Then these are too many, buy this little Tianao too!" Lin Kaiqu was still a little frightened, muttering to himself. Zhang also looked apprehensive.

Kelin put on a posture that could not be said, obviously as he said, this is a true feeling.

"In this way, leave a little money for your uncle, enough to repair the house for you. The rest is still Xiao Yi to keep it by himself!" said the honest Lin Kaiqu earnestly.

"These are all kept with my uncle, that is, I am not short of money. Lin Yi stretched out his palm, revealing a piece of silver in his palm, and said with a smile.

Lin Kaiqu looked at the silver in Lin Yi's hand with a puzzled face, and he was a little puzzled by the sudden appearance of silver.

Stomping his feet, as if he had made up his mind, Lin Kaiqu said to Zhang: "Take these into the house and hide them, don't let people see them, otherwise they will make people jealous and die!"

Zhang knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly responded to the sound and returned to the house with the package. Seeing this, Lin Yi secretly said, don't bring disaster to your uncle's family because of money, but he didn't think about it.

Lin Kaiqu also told Cui'er on the side, asking Cui'er not to talk nonsense to others.

Cui'er nodded non-stop, very obedient.

After Zhang came out for a while, he took a stool and sat in front of the door, and it seemed that he would not leave the door. She waved her hand to tell her husband to leave quickly, so that she could go early and return early.

Lin Yi picked up the basket and walked in front, Cui'er pulled his shirt on the side and didn't let go, chattering non-stop. Lin Kaiqu turned back in a few steps, and on his honest and loyal face, excitement and apprehension alternated.

When they came to the big tree at the entrance of the village, the three of them stopped.

Under the big tree, an old man in a Confucian shirt stood alone with a book in his hand, looking into the distance.

The blue color of the sky is gradually whitening, and a long red glow looms in the sky.

"Grandpa Su is early!" Cui'er waved her hand and shouted.

"Hello Mr. Su!" Lin Kaiqu also leaned over and greeted politely.

As soon as Lin recognized that this was the old man who showed him the way last night, he gestured to him and said hello.

The old man turned around, holding his long beard in his hand and smiling kindly. When he saw Lin Yi, his cloudy eyes lit up, and then he looked at Cui'er, and said gently, "Is Cui'er going to the town?"

"Cui'er and brother are going together!" said as he shook Lin Yi's shirt in his hand and said happily.

The old man smiled and said nothing, watching the three of them walk towards the outside of the village, but his eyes fell on Lin Yi's back, thoughtful.

From Cui'er's mouth, I learned that this old man was about fifty or sixty years old, surnamed Su, and the people in the village didn't know what his name was. The old man came here alone a few years ago, and when he had nothing to do, he taught the children in the village to read and write, and was very loved by the old and young in the village. He was erudite and gentle-tempered, and the people of the village respectfully called him Mr.

The village is small and surrounded by mountains on three sides. What is on the mountain, how many families are in the village, and so on, there is no need for Lin to ask, and Cui'er will tell them one by one.

...... The black dog of the east family lays cubs, the hens in the west do not lay eggs, the wild fruits behind the mountain are delicious, and the mountain spring in the west of the village is very sweet......

On the road, Cui'er kept talking, and the journey of more than twenty miles passed unconsciously.

When the three of them arrived at Tianping Town, the sun was bright, and the streets of the town were already bustling with people.
