It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was very high.

But fortunately, there are green trees on both sides of the mountain road, and the dense branches and leaves not only block the sunlight, but also bring a little bit of coolness.

Li Le held the bag in one hand and kept pulling Xiao Yao, who came forward, with the other hand.

This made Xiao Yao look unhappy but also very interested.

The old man walked very slowly, and Li Le also slowed down.

"Grandma, why didn't Tang Ximeng come with you?" Li Le suddenly asked.

"He didn't dare to come! He was scared here before." The old lady said: "A few years ago, a man ran up here, but he came back crying and had a high fever."

"From then on, he never dared to go out alone again." The old man said. Perhaps because he was in a good mood today, the old man's tone became much more cheerful: "You know, he used to run around and let me have a lot of trouble every day. It’s so easy to find, no matter how hard you fight, it’s useless.”

Li Le nodded, and suddenly remembered that he was going up here before, but Tang Ximeng stopped in front of him, shouting to retreat! retreat!

It turned out to be this reason.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, the three finally arrived at the old lady's house.

From a distance, I could see Tang Ximeng carrying a stool and sitting on the front lawn of the house, basking in the sun. His skin was tanned and shiny, and his head was sweating profusely. He was holding a pack of crispy noodles in his hand.

If it weren't for the fact that it was noon in July and the temperature was as high as 36 degrees Celsius, the scene of eating crispy noodles in the sun would have been very leisurely.

"You're going to die! The sun is so strong here! The oil is all exposed."

The old lady, who was still in a good mood, suddenly started cursing angrily again.

Hearing the scolding, Tang Ximeng looked over, with his trademark silly smile on his face.

Then his expression suddenly changed, and he rolled and crawled into the house, shouting inarticulately as he ran, "Back off! Back off! Back off!"

The old lady had already picked up a stick on the roadside and rushed into the house.

"Is this the Tang Ximeng you are talking about?" Xiao Yao asked doubtfully.

"Yes!" Li Le nodded: "When he was four or five years old, he was poisoned and became stupid, so his behavior was a bit abnormal."

"Actually, there used to be a lunatic like this in our village. He would go crazy and hit anyone he saw. I was still young at that time. Once, I met him on the road and he wanted to beat me, so I ran away as fast as I could. , he chased him for a long distance, but luckily he met his mother who was weeding in the field, and she scolded him like crazy, scaring him away."

"I hid behind my mother. I was so scared that I still remember it fresh."

Li Le looked at Xiao Yao in surprise, not expecting that she would have such an experience.

"Although Tang Ximeng has some brain problems, he has a good heart and is very kind. Even a greedy person will not have a bad heart, so you don't have to be afraid!" Li Le comforted him.

Then he felt Xiao Yao's hands wrap around one of his arms, and her chest pressed against hers tightly.

Li Le had no choice but to do this for now.

The two came to the old man's home together.

"The ghosts are always screaming! How can there be ghosts? How can there be ghosts in broad daylight!"

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the old lady chasing Tang Ximeng around the table, beating and cursing at the same time.

It's a pity that although Tang Ximeng is stupid, he is not slow, and the old lady can't catch up no matter how hard he chases.

So the old lady could only stop and turn around.

Tang Ximeng was still running seriously without stopping. Then he saw Tang Ximeng make a circle and just ran in front of the old lady.

Li Le and Xiao Yao both looked at each other and smiled. This child's CPU hasn't turned around yet.

"Run, run again!" The old lady grabbed Tang Ximeng's hand.

"Mom!" Tang Ximeng raised his head and shouted. When he saw Li Le and Xiao Yao at the door from the corner of his eye, he hurriedly hid behind the old lady, revealing his head with a look of horror on his face: "Back! Back! Kneel down!" kneel!"

"Shut up! What the hell, these are my brothers and sisters!" The stick in the old lady's hand hit the table, making a loud noise, which startled Li Le.

Tang Ximeng also trembled, but still hid behind the old lady.

Originally he just wanted to help the old lady deliver things, but now that the task was completed, Li Le didn't want to stay any longer.

Knowing that Xiao Yao was afraid, he asked her to wait at the door. He walked into the house, put the bag in his hand on the table, and said goodbye to the old lady.

"hey-hey!"

Tang Ximeng showed a silly smile to Li Le. He seemed to remember Li Le.

Li Le smiled at Tang Ximeng, and then, with the old lady's words of thanks, he turned around and walked up the mountain to the house where Xiao Yao left.

Along the way, the two of them were silent. Even Xiao Yao, who always liked to chatter, did not speak.

"Back! Back! Back!"

Behind him, Tang Ximeng's cry came again.

Li Le and Xiao Yao turned around, only to see Tang Ximeng crawling from the roadside across the front lawn and ran into the house.

But when Li Le and Xiao Yao continued to walk forward, Tang Ximeng's cry came from behind again.

Li Le knew that Tang Ximeng regarded it as a game, but he didn't point it out. He only looked back from time to time to see Tang Ximeng running away.

Until, the old lady's house could no longer be seen on the road, and Tang Ximeng's cry could no longer be heard.

"Why don't you talk?" The two continued walking along the mountain road, and Li Le suddenly said. Along the way, Xiao Yao's silence made Li Le feel a little uncomfortable.

"Suddenly I felt a little depressed." Xiao Yao curled her lips, pulled a piece of dogtail grass from the roadside, and shook it: "I feel that Tang Ximeng is so pitiful. If he has been waiting for the old lady for a hundred years, and he has no one to take care of him, wouldn't it be right? It’s hard to survive…”

"I have thought about this issue before, but I didn't think about it anymore..."

Li Le said.

"why?"

"Because I don't have any good solutions. If there is no good solution, it's useless no matter how much I think about it. Why bother asking for trouble? Everyone has his own destiny! We can't change our destiny against God, right?"

"Tch, I thought you had any good suggestions." Xiao Yao curled her lips and said.

"The advice is, just do things according to your inner thoughts."

"I heard that there are people like this in every village. They are born with five shortcomings and three shortcomings, but they are stupid, but they are kind-hearted and willing to help others. It is said on the Internet that they are the guardians of every village."

"This kind of person was a very ferocious and evil person in his last life, so he needs to be a village guard in this life, suffering hardships and guarding the peace of the place. In this way, he can enjoy the blessings of heaven in the next life." Xiao Yao looked at Li Le with real eyes. , asked.

She seemed to be expecting Li Le to give him a positive answer.

Li Le was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Actually, I am more inclined to think that this is just a good wish from people. These people have defects for various reasons, and this defect is irreparable."

"They have suffered a lot while living in the world, but ordinary people like us want to help, but are unable to do anything. Therefore, we can only use the past and present explanations to justify and comfort ourselves. In this way, when we see these people again, we will feel happy in our hearts. It won’t be so uncomfortable…”

"Stop!" Xiao Yao stretched out a hand to stop Li Le from continuing: "Straight man, you want to shatter other people's beautiful fantasies. It's really... hmph, it makes me so angry..."

After saying that, Xiao Yao walked forward angrily.

Li Le was silent, looking at Xiao Yao's back and murmuring to himself: "This was my view before, is it now..."

"Perhaps the village guardian really exists."
