The next day, Li Aweng brought back two black dogs from the village. One was bigger, and the other was just a small puppy. With its short legs and fat belly, it looked like a big black mouse. It would only chase people when placed on the ground. , the whining sound is very milky, not bluffing at all.

Unlike the little yellow native dogs that Ji Qingyue saw when he was a child, which were flat, plump and honest, this little black dog has a pointed face and drooping ears, making it look pretty and cute.

Today, Li Yu came back with Shiro after finishing her work. While the adults were cooking, they squatted in the yard and played with the puppy. I went to weed the corn fields today and will go back after dinner.

While playing with the puppy, Li Yu wondered why Shiro's family had not raised a dog for so long, so why did he suddenly want to raise one? Could it be that he wanted to be wary of someone...

He didn't ask any more questions, just hoping that he wasn't dealing with the person that night.

This is a local thin dog, which means they are fatter when they are young. In a few months, they will grow taller quickly. When they grow up, they will be tall and thin, with slender muscles all over their bodies, and their slender bodies will be explosive. They are extremely strong. Once their long legs are stretched out at full strength, they can easily catch up with a running hare. In terms of sprinting, even horses are no match for them.

This kind of dog will not gain fat no matter how much it eats when it grows up. The body lines are in an "S" shape, and the belly is the most concave. Based on the body shape, people like to call it a thin dog.

These two puppies were obviously still in their cute childhood stage, with no ferocious aura at all. When someone pushed them down, they would only whine, and their short legs would flap around.

Li Yu touched the puppy's round belly: "Silang, what do you want to name the puppy?"

Li Silang gently fiddled with the puppy's ears, making them stand up like a rabbit: "I don't know, we don't intend to raise dogs. These two little black dogs are looked after by Aweng for others."

The puppy gently rubbed Mo Li Yu's fingertips with its young teeth, and then stretched out its tongue to lick it as it was afraid of hurting the bite. The wet and slippery touch was itchy. Li Yu withdrew his hand in confusion and brushed off the fingertips. Moisture.

He had an intuition that the dog owner was the one who gave him a raincoat on a rainy night. He wanted to ask Shiro, but Brother Li didn't allow him to mention what happened that day, so he didn't ask anything and didn't dare to think about it.

But Shiro said this, who else could it be if he wasn't him?

Li Yu kept his thoughts in his heart and petted the puppy dullly. As usual, after eating dinner, he followed Shiro to the study room to study.

Just now at the dinner table, I heard Uncle Cai say that Shiro was going to the county to study elementary school without waiting for his wife to go to the village school. After his friend left, he was the only one left in the village.

He lowered his head and practiced calligraphy melancholy, completing the homework assigned by Li Erlang to them. As long as he stayed for dinner, Brother Li would let him practice a word before going back.

He and Li Silang sat quietly on both sides of the desk, holding a brush for adults in his little hand, and repeatedly copied the calligraphy left by Li Sanlang on the paper.

The two are serious and hardworking.

When Li Silang finished writing a piece of paper and was admiring it with pride, Li Erlang walked into the study room, carried Li Silang out from the table, and closed the study door after leaving.

Li Yu stopped writing and looked at the closed door, a little confused. Since the weather was hot, they always opened the study door to study and practice calligraphy. Why did Brother Li close the door?

But he didn't pay too much attention and continued practicing calligraphy with his pen.

He has much less time to practice calligraphy than Shiro. In addition to working for Shiro's family, he often goes to other families in the village to help with work, exchanges for more food, and collects firewood and wild vegetables in odd hours. , As a result, the number of times I went to Shiro's house to eat and practice calligraphy was very few.

He cherishes every opportunity to practice calligraphy.

Now Li Yu was the only one left in the study, and he was concentrating on writing on the copybook. He didn't notice at all that there was a person landing quietly behind him and standing quietly behind him.

After Li Yu finished tracing a word, Ji Qingyue slowly walked around from behind Li Yu and came to him.

Li Yu was admiring the written words when he suddenly noticed a figure coming out from behind him. He immediately jumped up and stared at Ji Qingyue, like a frightened rabbit.

Looking at it this way, Li Yu looks very delicate, with big watery eyes. If Li Erlang's eyes can see the peaks, then Li Yu's eyes are full of water.

At this time, Li Yu's cheeks were not as thin as they would be a few years later. When Li Yu was in the second year of Guangde, his eyes were as if they were embedded in his face. They were so big that they were terrifying. Now the child still has a little flesh on his face. The whole person appears softer.

I don’t know how it will feel when pinched, but Li Silang’s face is well maintained and plump.

As he thought about it, Ji Qingyue stretched out his hand like a gangster, and when the child was stunned, he gently squeezed it with his hand. Unexpectedly, despite looking thin, it turned out to be very soft to the touch, like soft tofu, completely different from the feeling of pinching Li Silang!

Some people's faces are round but strong, and some people's faces are thin but extremely soft.

Ji Qingyue saw the water glistening in Li Yu's big eyes, as if he had accidentally made someone cry, and immediately started to rush: "Ah, I'm sorry, please move your hands by yourself, don't cry."

Li Yu would never forget this voice. It was this person who handed him a coir raincoat.

Li Yu wiped his eyes and muttered: "Brother Ji, I don't want to cry, but I can't help it. No matter when it's angry, happy, or scared, it just wants to cry. I, I... I really don't want to A man who always cries will be laughed at."

Oh, Ji Qingyue knows this.

He once met a male classmate who had a quarrel with others. He was originally justified. As soon as he opened his mouth, before the words could be cursed, he started to cry, with tears streaming down his face. The momentum that had been brewing suddenly dissipated. The person who was quarreling with him did not expect that it would turn out like this, and was so frightened that he was at a loss. If there is a quarrel, everyone will cry. If it is not a quarrel, it will be angry.

In the end, the male classmate felt so embarrassed that he left crying and laughing.

After the child wiped away his tears, Ji Qingyue sat down in Li Silang's seat and faced Li Yu: "Do you know who I am?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment and tilted his head: "Strange, I have never seen you, and Shiro has never mentioned you to me. Why do I call you 'Brother Ji'?"

Ji Qingyue sighed in his heart, secretly. "Perhaps we have met before. At that time, you were not as cute as you are now. You were so gray and thin that only bones were left. You were so pitiful."

Li Yu thought for a while, he had never been disgraced when he was at his uncle's house, nor was he so thin after being kicked out, and he had never seen the person in front of him.

Ji Qingyue had just finished taking a bath in the painting and had been sitting in the thatched cottage blowing the wind. He came out of the painting after hearing that Li Erlang was taking Shiro out.

He wears half-dried hair. It has been almost a year since he came to this world. His hair has already touched his shoulder blades. He is used to wearing a T-shirt and long pants after taking a shower.

Ji Qingyue leaned back on the chair with a calm look on his face. He didn't look like someone secretly hiding in Brother Li's house.

The study is so big, there is absolutely no place to hide. There has been no movement at the door, and no one came in from the outside.

"Where did you come from?" Li Yu asked with a frown, and he was afraid that Ji Qingyue would think there was something else in his words, so he added: "You don't look like a deserter, otherwise Shiro and the others would definitely not keep you. .”

Ji Qingyue didn't answer, but asked: "Do you think there are immortals in this world?"

The child's big eyes rolled, and he immediately answered affirmatively: "Definitely not. Shiro told me that the immortal on Juishan Mountain is a fake and it is all a trick."

Ji Qingyue snapped his fingers: "You are absolutely right. There are no immortals in this world. I am also an ordinary person. I just live in a slightly different place than you."

Li Yu didn't respond and silently followed his words and asked: "Where do you live...?" Then Ji Qingyue raised his hand and pointed to one place.

He followed Ji Qingyue's hand and turned his head to look back. There was nothing in the empty study.

"Look at the wall."

On the wall? There is just a painting hanging on the wall.

painting? !

Li Yu looked at Ji Qingyue nervously, his watery eyes filled with tears, and he looked like he was about to cry again.

Ji Qing stretched out his hand across the table and picked up Li Yu. Li Yu was so scared that he was so scared that he forgot to cry.

Li Yu, like Shiro, is an easy kid to coax.

The child was very reserved in Ji Qingyue's arms. Obviously, he was unfamiliar with the feeling of "being hugged". It seemed that no one had held him in his arms and held him so high. This time, he could no longer hold back his tears. Instantly fell from his eyes.

To be honest, the child really doesn’t look like a northwester, he looks so plump and fair, how can he be so pitiful when he cries?

Ji Qingyue walked to the painting with Li Yu in his arms and pointed to the four separate fields in the open space: "These two fields are the wheat I planted last month. One of them will be harvested in two days, and the one next to it will be harvested in two days." This is a rice field that was just cut down not long ago. There is also a newly reclaimed open space that has not yet had time to be sown. I plan to plant some corn in this land. Although I am not used to corn, I still plant some in case of emergencies. need."

Li Yu gradually stopped crying, sat on Ji Qingyue's arm, and followed what he said and looked at the things in the painting.

Ji Qingyue pointed to the stream again: "Inside are the fish Erlang caught for me. They were caught in February. There are bighead carp, silver carp and grass carp. The big fish lay many eggs. Now they have hatched many small fish. Next year these fish will grow You can eat it when you grow up.”

Li Yu, who was fishing in February, also followed, and he suddenly felt the same way. It turns out that this brother has known who he is for a long time, and the fish in the painting may have some credit to him.

Just thinking this way, Li Yu felt less afraid. He gently grabbed Ji Qingyue's shoulders and slowly leaned against Ji Qingyue.

The more Ji Qing felt that the child was slowly accepting him, he pointed to the hillside again: "My home is on the back of the hillside. I built the house myself. It's amazing! There are many fruit trees on the hillside. They were only planted less than a year ago. I think... You still have to wait to eat the fruit. I also planted another thing there. When the time comes, I will give you and Erlang a surprise. Don’t tell them in advance."

Li Erlang and Silang were hiding outside the door and heard Ji Qingyue's words clearly.

surprise?

Compared to his younger brother's confused and expectant eyes, Li Erlang looked happy. He knew what it was!

"Beside the thatched cottage is a chicken coop, which contains chickens, ducks and geese. Aunt Li helped to hatch them. This is my first time raising these things. I don't know if I can fatten them up and kill them to eat during the New Year. Otherwise, I have to find them. Erlang." Then he pointed to a place in the woods: "There is a sheepfold here, with four lambs in it. They have learned to eat grass and bleat non-stop all day long. Fortunately, I had the foresight to open the sheepfold. Set it up somewhere far away, otherwise you will be woken up by them every morning."

Li Yu nodded. Sometimes he would help Shiro cut grass and feed the sheep, and he found that the sheep liked to bark. As long as one of them barked, the other sheep would follow suit.

"Okay, these are the things in the painting." Ji Qingyue knelt down and let Li Yu go, but Li Yu lay on his shoulder, still a little reluctant to leave. He knew what Ji Qingyue meant: "You want me to What to do? Bring me into the painting to work for you?"

"Hahahaha——" Ji Qingyue couldn't help laughing: "Only I can go in, and none of you can. Don't worry, I won't take you into the painting." He put away his smile and pulled Li Yu away. Slightly pushing out of his arms, the two looked at each other. Ji Qingyue changed to a serious tone and said: "Li Yu, I want to take you to the county. After you go to the county, you can do whatever Shiro does. After school, Come back by yourself when you are hungry, cook and eat by yourself when you are hungry, find clothes by yourself when you are cold, and come back here for the reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year. Even if you go out, your home is still here, still in Shangli Village."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Li Yu's tears couldn't stop flowing down, and she couldn't help but fall into Ji Qingyue's arms and cry on his shoulder.

After a while, he choked with sobs: "Why me?"

Ji Qingyue patted his back gently: "Maybe it's because when you saw me just now, you called me 'Brother Ji'. Who can explain this wonderful fate clearly. Are you going?"

"Go, I'll go." Li Yu muttered on Ji Qingyue's shoulder.

Suddenly, the study door was pushed open, and a small figure rushed in with his chirping voice, and threw himself into Ji Qingyue's arms: "Yeah! Yu Lang, you can go to elementary school with me from now on!"

Li Silang's weight was obviously not at the same level as Li Yu's. When he rushed in, he knocked Ji Qingyue down and sat on the ground.

"Silang, do you know how much you weigh?" Li Erlang followed in and lifted his younger brother up with a shudder. He pulled Ji Qingyue up with his other hand. Li Yu was left holding Ji Qingyue's thigh with a look of confusion on his face. stupid.

That was how it was settled.

In the evening, Li Erlang sent Li Yu home. For Ji Qingyue, whom he had just met, Li Yu admired and even was a little afraid of Li Erlang, but he was very good to Shi Lang and was a very good brother.

"Brother Li, Brother Ji said he would take me to the county tomorrow. Is it true? Isn't it true?" Everything just happened was like a dream, and I even saw Brother Ji disappear into the painting with my own eyes. .

"It's true. You don't need to bring anything with you tomorrow. Come to my house early, and we'll take a donkey cart to the county together. This trip is just to buy some things for Yue Lang's house, and by the way, you and Shiro will get to know each other. By August, you will move in. Let's go to Yue Lang's home to study elementary school together." Li Erlang cursed, and when he was free, he would also go to the county to see Yue Lang... oh no, to see Si Lang.

Li Yu jumped two steps excitedly, then calmed down after feeling something was wrong, and walked forward step by step in a deep voice.

He hasn't felt so happy for a long, long time!
