Chapter 1030: Xu Zhi's eldest brother
"Not yet!" Du Wanzhen pointed to a low mountain peak in the distance and said, "That is Luoling Peak, Shanying should be in the stockade at the foot of the mountain." ”
Xu Zhi's figure has never flown off, and he has long seen a rather large village, although this village is large but sparsely populated, not only there are no people on the street, but there are few people working in the farmland outside the village.
"There, there......" Du Wanzhen flew high and saw far away, and he pointed to a ridge and shouted, "He is Shanying, your eldest brother!"
As Du Wanzhen's fingers looked, he saw a young man who was similar to Xu Zhi's height, but the machine was emaciated and pitiful, wearing tattered linen clothes, sitting on the ridge of the field and drinking water with a broken porcelain bowl in his hand. The young man's hair was very long, covering his face, and Xu Zhi couldn't see it clearly.
The young man drank half a bowl of water, turned his head and handed the water to the side, and said, "Jun'er, you are thirsty, come and take a sip of water!"
Xu Zhi's figure froze, standing in mid-air in a daze, as if something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word, because he saw that a fist-sized rag doll was sitting next to the young man, and the young man's water bowl was close to the rag doll's mouth.
The rag doll is slightly rough sewn, and because of age, it has been broken, and there are many traces of sewing with various needles and threads on the dirty body.
"You're not thirsty!" said the young man to himself, "Then let's go and give my father and mother water!"
As he spoke, the young man grabbed the rag doll, got up and walked to the two graves not far from the ridge, and when he got closer, he knelt down first, and then put the rag doll next to him, kowtowed and said: "Dad, mother, you are thirsty to sleep in it, I will feed you water!"
After saying this, the young man carefully divided the water in half and poured it on the two graves.
Xu Zhi bit his lip tightly, and his figure quietly fell behind the young man, quietly watching without saying a word, tears oozing from the corners of his eyes. Du Wanzhen stood next to Xu Zhi and opened his mouth to say something, but looking at Xu Zhi's silence, he also shut up.
After pouring the water, the young man said happily: "Daddy, after you drink the water, I will go to work, I am now grown up, I have grown up a lot, I have grown a lot of food, and I will definitely feed you and Jun'er well this year." ”
As soon as the young man turned around, he saw Xu Zhi standing there, the young man was stunned for a moment, then he grinned and cried, pounced on Xu Zhi, and shouted: "Dad, Dad, when did you wake up?" Why don't you tell me, Dad, I want to kill you! When will my mother wake up?"
Seeing the young man crying and pounced, Xu Zhi also burst into tears, he let the young man hold him and cry like a child, he wanted to find his roots wholeheartedly, and also assumed a lot of endings, but he didn't expect to see this kind of ending that he couldn't dream of, no wonder Tianping didn't recommend that he face such a reality before he died.
The young man cried for a long time, and suddenly thought of something again, hurriedly pushed Xu Zhi away, ran to the ridge, poured a little water from the crockpot, ran over happily, and carefully handed it to Xu Zhidao: "Dad, you must be thirsty, you ...... drink water."
"When my eldest brother was farming, Shanying was playing next to him, and when his eldest brother was tired, Shanying would pour water for his eldest brother......" Du Wanzhen whispered beside him, "So, my eldest brother has passed away for more than ten years, and Shanying still remembers the things of his childhood, because this is him...... It's rare for him to be able to do it, and it's rare to get praise from my eldest brother and eldest sister. ”
"Big brother......" Xu Zhi didn't take the water bowl, but looked at the young man's messy eyes, and said word by word, "I'm Jun'er, not my father!"
"Dad, don't joke with me!" the young man grinned, raised the rag doll in his hand and said, "This is Jun'er, didn't you explain to me before you went to bed with your mother......?"
"Shanying......" Du Wanzhen walked out from behind Xu Zhi and said, "Do you know me?"
"Second uncle is good, second uncle is good!" Although the young man smiled, he still grabbed Xu Zhi's arm and didn't let go, shouting, "Look, my dad woke up, he really woke up, you didn't lie to me......"
"Shanying......" Du Wanzhen's eyes were filled with heartache, and he said in a low voice, "He is your younger brother, his name is Shanjun!"
"I don't believe it!" said the young man, tilting his head, his hair crooked, revealing his beard, "he is my father, I remember it very well." ”
Saying that, the young man looked at Xu Zhi with a look of dependence, as if inviting pets, and said, "Did you say it, Dad......"
"Uncle, let's not talk about this ...... yet" Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "My brother probably won't be able to accept it for a while." ”
"Alas, it's fine!" Du Wanzhen sighed, "I'll talk about it later." ”
After speaking, Du Wanzhen said to Du Shanying: "Shanying, it's getting dark, you can take us home!"
"It's getting dark, isn't it?" When Du Shanying heard this, his face showed fear, looked at the twilight on the horizon, and said hurriedly, "Oh no, I have to quickly dig up this piece of land......"
"Dad, you wait!" Du Shanying said to Xu Zhi again, "I'm very fast, I remember what you commanded, today's work must be done today!"
Seeing Du Shanying quickly take a hoe to plow the ground, Xu Zhi felt sad for no reason.
"Dad, do you think I'm doing a good job?" Du Shanying pouted her ass for a while, and asked happily with her head up.
"Okay, good ......" Xu Zhi bit his lip tightly and replied in a loud voice, "Don't worry, I'll plow the ground with you!"
"Dad, don't come, you just woke up, rest for ......a while," Du Shanying said thoughtfully, and at this time, there was a "click" sound, and the hoe hoe was on a stone, and the hoe pole tied with a straw rope had long been broken and scattered.
"Daddy, daddy......" Du Shanying cried out, "I was wrong, don't be angry......! I'll fix it right away......"
"Big brother ......" Xu Zhi listened, and couldn't help but leave tears again, this is his own brother, how can he say that he also has Xu Guohong and Quan Ling outside, how to say that he also has Xu Aiguo's family affection, and this ...... This seemingly idiot-looking brother has been going on for so many years...... Just living such a lonely life!! Xu Zhi cursed God before, but now it seems that he doesn't know how lucky he is!!
Seeing Du Shanying hurriedly tied it with a straw rope, but the straw rope was also a little rotten, Du Shanying couldn't tie it up no matter how she cleaned it up, and Du Shanying was a little anxious.
Xu Zhi thought of the hoes and shovels in the space, hurriedly took them out, handed them to Du Shanying and said, "Don't worry, I have some hoes here, you can use these new ones!"
"Don't!" Du Sunyoung replied without even thinking about it, "This is what my father used!"
However, after he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zhi again, tilted his head, thought for a while and said with a smile: "Dad, do you see that I am good at plowing the field and reward me with a new hoe?"
"Yes, yes!" Xu Zhi handed the hoe to Du Shanying and said, "That one is for me, you can use this in the future, you are the best!"
"Thank you, Dad......" Du Shanying laughed and took over the hoe to hoe harder.
Xu Zhi also wanted to help, but was stopped by Du Wanzhen: "Shanying's brain is lacking, and others can't help him with what he wants to do." ”
As Du Wanzhen expected, it was about half an hour, Du Shanying finished hoeing, collected the hoe and jug and other things, and ran to the grave to kowtow and said: "Daddy, I'm done with my work, now I'm taking Jun'er home for dinner, we'll come back tomorrow!"
After kowtowing, Du Shanying turned back to the field again, dug a fist-sized thing from the ground and put it in the jug, before he said to Xu Zhi and Du Wanzhen: "Dad, second uncle, let's go......"
Seeing Du Shanying's almost reflexive movements, Xu Zhi's heart was stabbed again.
Leaving the ridge, Du Shanying held Xu Zhi's hand, as if he was afraid that Xu Zhi would disappear again, and his hand carrying the jug and hoe also firmly grasped the rag doll, what he grasped was not only the family affection in his heart, but also the entrustment of his father!
Walking through the slope behind the ridge is a stream, Du Shanying did not hesitate to let go of Xu Zhi's hand, put down the hoe and other things, "plop", jumped into the water with his clothes on, washed it indiscriminately, jumped out again, and grabbed Xu Zhi with wet hands, at this time Xu Zhi noticed that Du Shanying was barefoot.
On the way back to the village, I met some people, there were not many people, they were all thin, they were also dressed in tatters, there was not much curiosity in their eyes, Du Shanying happily met people and said that his father was awake, and everyone else smiled, only swept their eyes over Xu Zhi, and didn't pay much attention to it.
When I entered the stockade, some cooking smoke rose from everywhere, and some chickens and dogs crowed, but it looked like a depression and dead silence. Du Shanying didn't think much more, he pulled Xu Zhi into a courtyard that was almost collapsed, threw the hoe and other things in the corner of the bamboo wall, walked to a large vat, lifted the bamboo lid to take a look, scooped out a scoop of water from it, and washed the things that were dug from the ground before. Then, as if thirsty again, he scooped another scoop and prepared to drink.
"Slow ......" Xu Zhi hurriedly stopped.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Du Shanying was puzzled.
Xu Zhi looked at the turbid water in the water scoop, and then at the insects in the water tank, and said in a low voice: "The water tank hasn't been washed for a few days?"
"The water tank hasn't been washed for a few days?" Du Shanying looked dazed, not knowing what Xu Zhi meant by this.
Xu Zhi turned his head to look at Du Wanzhen, and Du Wanzhen also bit his lip tightly and said nothing.
"The water in the water tank can only be stored for two days!" Xu Zhi explained, "and the water tank has to be cleaned once every ten days, you see, now the water tank has grown insects, and the water is dirty, and you can't drink it anymore, remember!"
"Oh, I know, Dad!" Du Shanying nodded hurriedly, and then again, "But, Dad, how do you clean the water tank?"
Xu Zhi cleaned up the inside of the water tank with something, lifted the water tank with a wave of his hand, and poured the water.
Du Shanying applauded happily next to him: "Dad, your energy is so big, it's really powerful......"
