Volume 1 Chapter 2 A Boy in the Mountains (Part II)
Since I was secretly descending the mountain, I couldn't say goodbye to my family in a big way. Besides, the adults in the family all gathered around their parents' rooms, taking turns guarding their father, for fear that if they were negligent, their father would die.
Looking at the light coming out of the room, I couldn't express my sadness. As soon as he lowered his head, there were already two lines of warm tears on his face. I'm really scared, I'm afraid I won't see my dad for the last time.
Someone poked me in the dark, and when I looked back, it was Crazy Uncle. He is almost fifty years old, but he has never known the sorrow of the world, nor does he feel sad about the passage of time, and he grins his lips to the root of his ears every day.
Once, my mother said to my father very enviously, it's good that your senior brother is crazy and stupid like this, after all, he has no heart and lungs, and he will never know sorrow.
Dad said seriously, even when he wasn't crazy and stupid, he didn't have a heart or lungs, and he never felt sad.
I looked at the smiling Crazy Uncle, touched a handful of tears, and said, "Crazy Uncle, I'm going down the mountain." When I'm not at home, you have to protect my parents!"
Uncle Mad's smile was gone, and he seemed reluctant to let me leave home. I'm not going to talk to him too much, he doesn't understand anyway. But as long as he's here, my dad and mother will be safe. I pointed to my parents' room and asked him to protect my parents. He was reluctant, but went anyway.
Although the crazy uncle is a fool, as long as he makes a move, the entire Piser Mountain will tremble. So I'm very relieved to have him here.
I like Uncle Crazy very much, and he likes me too, Sister Mochizuki once teased, this is probably the sympathy between fools!
Before I could speak, Uncle Madness carried me and scurried around in the woods of Mount Piser. He took me to Luoxia Valley to see a baby fish with a human face, and he also took me to Qingfeng Stream to see a bird with a long green body. Crazy Uncle doesn't know joy or sorrow, but when he sees me happy, his face smiles like a flower.
When the crazy uncle first took me away, my father and mother were in a hurry, and I was afraid that he would feed me to his wolf friend on a whim. When the whole family went out to look for me, Uncle Crazy brought me back safe and sound. I heard my grandmother say that my mother lost a lot of temper with him, and the crazy uncle sat on the threshold and wept. Dad comforted his mother, and comforted the crazy uncle, and later the mother took the initiative to make a delicious meal for the crazy uncle, so he didn't get angry.
Crazy Uncle's wife and daughter are all in the capital to accompany the Empress Dowager Lin, and my father wanted to take them all over, but the Empress Dowager Lin is weak in the capital alone, and it is rare to have relatives to accompany her. So, the crazy uncle would go to the capital to live for a period of time every once in a while, and every time the third uncle took the trouble to send him over. First, others can't look down on him at all, and second, Dad only trusts the third uncle.
But when I went to the capital for the first time, Uncle Crazy secretly ran back, which made us worry. Dad scolded him angrily, saying that he deserved to be a wild man, and he didn't want to be a Beijing man in his life.
Uncle Crazy lived in Mount Piser most of the time, and inevitably missed his wife and daughter, and my mother seemed to understand his thoughts, and when Uncle Crazy took me to play, she no longer reprimanded him, but looked at me more strictly. Crazy Uncle doesn't speak much, but I can always understand his mind very accurately. Maybe what a fool says, only a fool can understand!
I thought Uncle Crazy was just a fool, and it wasn't until I was about five or six years old that I realized that he was a very good man. Once, my father dragged the crazy uncle to practice internal strength, and I ran to the depths of Piser Mountain by myself. When I met a wolf, I didn't know if it was a wolf friend of the crazy uncle, so I was so scared that I ran home while crying loudly. The moment the wolf pressed me to the ground, the mad uncle appeared out of nowhere. He shouted, lifted the wolf away, and ran back desperately with me in his arms.
Maybe I'm running too far, Crazy Uncle is running fast, but he can't get out of the woods. His back was scratched by the wolf's claws, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he put me down and raised his head to the sky and let out a long howl. In an instant, the whole forest swirled, and the leaves fell.
The Crazy Uncle danced wildly behind him, his eyes seemed to burst out, and at the moment when the wolf pounced in the air, he grasped the wolf's front paws with his two huge hands, and shook it hard, and the wolf howled, and it turned out that its front paws were crushed by the Crazy Uncle. The wolf went berserk, staring at the blue eyes, trying in vain to bite off the mad uncle's neck. The mad uncle took out one hand and grabbed the wolf by the neck, twisted its neck off, and threw it far away.
I was stunned by the heroic appearance of the crazy uncle, and the heavenly soldiers and generals that my father and mother told me were nothing more than that! The crazy uncle picked me up again and ran all the way through the woods. But the dead wolf had attracted a lot of companions, and if they pounced, Uncle Madman and I would not have even a bone left. At this moment, the third uncle rushed in with someone, the cluster of arrows was brighter than the wolf's eyes, and a rain of arrows fell, and the crazy uncle and I returned home safe and sound.
When I got home, I fell ill with a fever and didn't know anything about what happened after that. When I woke up, I realized that maybe he heard my shout, and the crazy uncle who was cultivating the mental method had forcibly terminated his cultivation, causing great damage to his heart veins, and he was scratched by the wolf several times, and his entire back was a blur of flesh and blood. I was scared and sad, and I couldn't stop crying as I watched the unconscious crazy uncle.
Dad had a gloomy face and told me not to cry, but I was so sad that I kept crying.
My father couldn't bear it anymore and scolded: "Chongyin, your snot has all flowed into my senior brother's mouth!"
"Oh......?"
I looked down and saw that the crazy uncle was smacking his lips and had woken up. He didn't blame me, he still smirked at me, touched my head, and looked at me very tenderly. He didn't care that he was hurt, and when he woke up, he took me to play without resting at all. My dad sighed, maybe he had rough skin and thick flesh, and he didn't feel any pain at all.
When I was ten years old, my three children wrote a bunch of wishes, and I turned my head to see my brother writing "I hope Uncle Feng can get better soon."
As if I had been hit head-on, I asked, "You made a mistake, isn't it 'Crazy Uncle'?"
My brother looked at me with pity, as if I was really a fool, and he smiled: "His name is Lin Fengyao, so I call him 'Uncle Feng'." Although he is a bit stupid, he is my father's senior brother, how can my father allow us to call him crazy?"
I suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and I felt sorry for "Uncle Feng". My father and mother were already laughing and covering their stomachs, and in their eyes, maybe I was a hopelessly stupid child. It's still Uncle Feng, he doesn't know what's going on, he just looks at me and laughs, gives me good game to eat, and never laughs at me for being stupid.
Before I knew it, I was nineteen years old, and Uncle Feng was also old, his temples were gray, and his face was wrinkled. His daughter, the county lord of Changle, is twenty-three years old, and she was dazzled by Ruyi Langjun, and when she saw my brother, she had the idea of getting married. I heard that Empress Dowager Lin is trying her best to promote their relationship, if it goes well, Uncle Feng will become my brother's father-in-law.
Before I went down the mountain, all the messy thoughts came flooding back, and I was a little distraught. I wonder if I can still see my brother and the county lord marry, and my father, can you hold on until I come back?
I am not good at martial arts, and I don't dare to expect a bow and arrow to save my life, so I only wore the Star Sweeping Sword given to me by Uncle Zhang. As I walked out of the manor, Blackie chased after me, rubbing against my legs, and couldn't bear to let me go. I crouched down and told him that as soon as I found the toad, I would come back to play with it. Xiao Hei whined twice, and reluctantly agreed.
Strictly speaking, it is Xiao Hei III. Xiao Hei II died shortly after my brother went to the capital, and I picked it up from Yuhai Town. I originally wanted to give it a particularly domineering name, such as "Xiaotian" or something, but my father insisted on calling it Xiao Hei, and I didn't know what "Xiao Hei" meant to him.
Little Black III seems to like this name a lot, it grows up day by day, and looks more and more like II. One day my dad stared at it and muttered, "Could it be that the last little black left a seed outside?"
I asked Aunt Peach, "What do you mean by the seeds you kept?"
Aunt Xiao Tao covered her mouth and chuckled, and said, "I'll tell you when you marry your daughter-in-law." ”
Oh, by the way, I have to go to my grandparents' graves before I leave home. My grandfather died after giving me my name, and I was raised by my grandmother.
It stands to reason that his brother's surname is Liang, and he is so smart, his grandmother should prefer him. But everyone said that I was my grandmother's favorite grandson.
One year, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, the warbler was flying and the grass was growing, and the owner of Yang Zhuang of Hanging Sword Villa came to my house as a guest. I was almost 10 years old at the time, and my grandmother made me sit on her lap and cut my nails carefully. It wasn't until I was cut that I was put down.
I ran around the courtyard with joy, and the owner of Yang Zhuang stopped me at once and quipped: "Chongyin, it seems that Mrs. Liang still loves you more." ”
I grinned, my front teeth fell out, so my laughter leaked. Dad said lightly: "This kid is stupid, maybe he can't feel it." ”
That was the first time I was so anxious that I stomped my feet: "I'm not stupid! I like grandma the most!"
My father was stunned, then smiled with satisfaction, and told me that I should honor my grandmother when I grow up. But my grandmother died last year, and it was one day in late spring, and my grandmother, who had always been an early riser, did not get up for a long time. My mother was so worried that when she went to her grandmother's room to look, she found that her grandmother had died in her sleep. He walked very peacefully, leaving no last words.
Dad was so thin and out of shape all of a sudden, it can be said that the death of his grandmother brought him a heavy blow, so he was so sick. He has always said that for the elderly, dying without illness is the best ending. But I can see that my father is so sad that his heart is about to break.
But no one made me sad, I kept throwing paper money into the brazier, crying a handful of snot and tears. My dad told me not to cry, I couldn't hear me. It wasn't until he yelled that I stopped.
“...... Your clothes are on fire. Dad said weakly and helplessly.
When I looked, the sleeves of the filial piety clothes were really on fire. I cried even more - I wanted to see my grandmother off for the last time, but because of my stupidity, I made a joke at the funeral again.
The grave of the grandparents was built in the clear breeze of the mountains and rivers, and the father and mother built the grave of the second elder very magnificently. I went to their graves and told them that I was going down the mountain to find medicine for my father, and that if I could not come to see them in the future, I asked them to forgive me.
After I finished worshipping, the brass bells of the fish hanging from the pine trees rang a few times very clearly, and the cool moonlight sprinkled the whole forest. I said goodbye to my grandparents and kowtowed a few more times in the direction of the lodge. I, Jin Chongyin, the tenth generation grandson of Yu Haijin, finally stepped into the rivers and lakes for the first time.
