This river is an east-west river with no name.The river is not long and only connects three villages.

Lu Chen said that when he was a child, the river was full of skaters in winter.One adult can carry two children.If you want to go to a neighboring village to meet your classmates, you don’t have to walk, just row across the river.But it’s not enough now, with global warming, the ice can no longer support these people.

Lu Chen was shirtless, threw off his slippers, first tested the depth of the river, and then slowly entered the river.Shen Yi squatted in the shade of a tree and watched him quietly, his legs became numb after a while, and he simply sat in the grass.

Fishes swam past Lu Chen's legs, but when they were about to lower their heads, they disappeared.This kind of itchy feeling is really uncomfortable.Teacher Lu was very unconvinced, and ran home barefoot to fetch the fishing net.

Tools are indeed an important symbol that distinguishes humans from animals. With the help of fishing nets, Lu Chen quickly caught the first fish.

Standing in the water, he proudly showed off to Shen Yi, the smile on his face was like a child who finally got candy, it looked extraordinarily scorching under the summer sun.Shen Yi looked at him and couldn't help laughing.

Lu Chen: "Shen Yi, look!"

Shen Yi pulled out a few grasses, twisted them into ropes, and walked towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen: "Hey, don't move, don't get your clothes wet, I'll go right away."

Shen Yi stood by the river and watched Lu Chen walk over with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Lu Chen stretched out the fishing net towards Shen Yi, and Shen Yi tied the fish's mouth with the rope he just twisted, and weighed it, "Let's go back ?"

Lu Chen: "If we don't go back, let's catch the grasshoppers."

Shen Yi: "Grasshopper?"

Lu Chen: "Well, catch it and bake it."

Shen Yi: "Isn't it a rule that no fires are allowed anywhere?"

Lu Chen: "Well, then I'll go find a water bottle, catch it and put it in it, and eat it when I get home."

Lu Chen washed the mud off his legs by the river, and pulled the slippers that he threw flying around, and took the fish in Shen Yi's hand, "Go back and put the fish in the basin first, before you die of thirst on a hot day." It won't taste good."

Shen Yi obediently replied: "Yes".

The leaves rustled in the wind, and the cicadas hidden in them screamed endlessly.A few cars were parked on the side of the road. There are still people fishing in such a small river.

Lu Chen pointed to a person fishing by the river: "I don't understand what the fun of fishing is for these people. After waiting for several hours, how can they catch it fast. Hey, some people are willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a fish pole".

Shen Yi thought for a while, "I haven't caught fish before, and I haven't caught fish before, so I can't tell the difference between good and bad."

Lu Chen turned his head and looked at him: "Didn't you grow up in the countryside? I'm curious what you played when you were young?"

Shen Yi stopped talking, Lu Chen thought he would never speak again.

"When I was young, I didn't play anything. I used to have an older brother who would take me with him when he went out to play, but I just listened to him and ran errands. I never really went into the water to touch fish or catch grasshoppers." .

Lu Chen: "You have an older brother? Why have you never mentioned it?" Aren't you an abandoned orphan? Why do you have an older brother?

Shen Yi's eyes darkened for a moment, "Well, he passed away very early."

Lu Chen heard that Shen Yi really didn't want to mention this person, he knew he couldn't ask any more questions.But I really mind, mind the position of that person in Shen Yi's heart, mind that they met so early, mind that he becomes a secret in Shen Yi's heart.And the most important thing is that he can't compete with a dead man for status.

Lu Chen pouted, "I'm jealous!" Lu Chen's young master lost his temper.

Shen Yi was a little helpless, but also a little funny, "He's just my brother, the grandson of my mother-in-law who adopted me, he's different from you."

Lu Chen pretended not to understand, "What's different?"

Shen Yi blushed embarrassingly, "He's just my brother."

Lu Chen persisted, "What about me?"

"You...you are..."

Shen Yi, you didn't come out for a long time, why did you come here.Thinking about how elegant Shen Meiren was when she seduced her teacher, she defeated Lu Chen's trenches with a single "do you miss me?"Now after getting along gradually, she shrinks back and fears even more, and can't even say a lingering love word.

Shen Yi snatched the fish from Lu Chen's hand, "Let's go, the fish is dying in the sun", and hurried home.Lu Chen was a little discouraged, but also a little excited.Excited that he has become an unspeakable person in Shen Yi's heart.

Shen Yi is probably because of the bed, since he came to his hometown, he has been sleeping restlessly, even when he fell asleep, he would always talk in his sleep.Lu Chen went to a small shop in the village to buy a large box of pure milk, and told Shen Yi to drink a pack every day.

Lu Chen opened the milk box, inserted a straw and handed it to Shen Yi, "Are you used to drinking pure milk?"

Shen Yiwo took the milk on the bed, "There's nothing I'm not used to, why drink this?"

"Because you're always talking in your sleep," and it wasn't my name.

There were several nights when Lu Chen was woken up by Shen Yi. "Brother...Brother Lifeng...I didn't do it, I didn't kill anyone...Let me go..."

Brother Lifeng should be the elder brother Shen Yi mentioned when he was a child. Lu Chen wanted to know but was afraid of knowing the ins and outs of the matter, so he kept it in his heart, and it was difficult for him to hold it back.

Shen Yi paused when he heard the words, "What did I say?" The expression on his face was like the horror of a prisoner waiting for the final judgment, and there was despair in the panic.

Lu Chen got himself a glass of water, "You keep calling 'Brother', I thought it was me, but you said 'Brother Lifeng'".

On the first night, when Shen Yi babbled and called "Brother" in his dream, Lu Chen thought it was him, but he woke up startled in his sleep, put his hand on his head to test the temperature, and comforted him softly, " I'm here, Shen Yi."

But Shen Yi continued to say without giving him any reverie: "Brother Lifeng...", Lu Chen's heart was half cold.

For the first time, he felt that he was really angry with him. He wanted to question him the next day, but he couldn't say serious things to him anyway. He was afraid of hearing something he didn't want to hear, so he kept silent.

Lu Chen was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he is not a good-tempered person. He was a little surprised how he became like this.For Shen Yi, all the anger and grievances were sent out by him in the most gentle and unemotional way.

Lu Chen gulped down half a glass of water in one breath, "'Brother Lifeng' is the brother you mentioned when you were young?"

Shen Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, "Yeah", he pondered for a long time before arriving again, "Did I say in my dream that he died because of me..."

"Shen Yi!" Lu Chen interrupted him subconsciously, "Stop talking about it, and don't mention this again in the future." Lu Chen got up and closed half of the window, "It's cold at night, you always push the quilt when you sleep, don't catch a cold ".Then he turned back and urged Shen Yi to finish drinking the milk quickly and go to bed.

"Lu Chen", Lu Chen's figure pretending to be busy paused, "Shen Lifeng died because of me", Shen Yi didn't care about his words, so Lu Chen could only continue listening.
