Mouth: "Teachers preach and teach to solve doubts. You come to listen to my class, but you have to make a living by yourself. This is my fault. If you are willing to do this in the future, I will help you."

Li Gu witnessed Ji Zhiqing's writing hand back and forth in the early winter river, passing through blood stains and sticky strands of dead pheasant feathers.The young man's throat tightened, and he shed tears uncontrollably.

Ji Zhiqing had no intention of stopping, and Li Gu felt ashamed of himself.Without wiping away her tears, she begged in a low voice, "Teacher, don't do it."

Ji Zhiqing seemed unable to hear the words, and continued to deal with the chicken feathers one by one.Li Gu felt that the dead thing was too disgusting and shouldn't be touched by Ji Zhiqing, so he said in a crying voice: "I was wrong, teacher, I will never go there again, I don't want to think about it. I am willing to study hard .”

Ji Zhiqing didn't care about the boy's tears and pleadings. After finishing the treatment, he washed his numb fingers in the river water.He got up and walked back into the morning mist without looking at Li Gu again.

Li Gu finally cried bitterly facing the river.Ji Zhiqing didn't talk about any big reasons, but Li Gu will always remember the river surface filled with bloody smell and cool morning mist.

Ji Zhiqing sighed, and waved to the child behind the tree: "Xing Xing, let's go home."

Ji Hanxing showed surprise on his face, and stared at Li Gu's direction persistently, he tiptoed to follow Ji Zhiqing, and took his hand back. "How do you know I'm here?" "I knew it when you went out with me secretly."

"Brother Li Gu... is a good person."

"Good people don't want to do bad things, but they may do not so smart things. Not so smart things may have bad results."

"I see, I won't let him do something unwise."

Throughout his life, Ji Hanxing never mentioned that morning to Li Gu. It was a secret that was not humane in the growth of young people and needed to be carefully kept.

Li Gu didn't sell the two pheasants in the end, he found a place to bury them.When I went to wash my hands, the sun was rising on the other side of the river, and the sky suddenly broke, shining brilliantly.

It began to rain at night, the rain of this season came suddenly.It seemed that in an instant, a hole was torn open in the sky, and a huge stream of water fell from the dome.The old village chief woke up from his dream and said that he dreamed that the road just built was washed away.Li Gu heard the noise in his room, and ran over quickly. The old village chief wanted to see the section of road he had repaired no matter what he said.Li Gu couldn't help but he was worried that he would go out alone, so he could only accompany him to inspect the newly built road.

One big and one small walked out holding an umbrella. The village chief walked very fast, and every time he took a step, he took the next step before his heels hit the ground.Li Gu had the illusion that he would not be able to catch him, so he managed to grab him after running and catching him, and raised the umbrella over his head.

The thunder was rolling, attacking from a distance to the near, and the raindrops hit the face painfully.The village chief was covered in muddy water from his shoes to his trousers, and staggered towards the newly repaired section of the road.

Seeing him like this, Li Gu was suddenly a little scared. The road construction seemed to be his spiritual support. Li Gu couldn't imagine what would happen if the road was washed away in front of the village chief.

He squeezed the village chief's arm even tighter, trying to make him walk more slowly.Looking at it from Lu Yuan, it was not a very long section, and it was like a line across there. They approached that direction step by step. When the line became clearer, the rain suddenly stopped.

The village head paused, the rain fell down the gully on his face, and a smile slowly appeared on his obviously old face.Li Gu gave him a hand, and he didn't know whether to tell him or himself: "The rain stopped, it's all right."

The tense expression on the village head's face gradually disappeared, and he took a long and careful breath, as if he was afraid that a little more breathing would affect the new road.

"Go back?"

"No, come and see with me."

The village chief was in a good mood, and walked in the direction of the new road.The dusty stones were washed clean by the rain, and a layer of water film hanging on the surface can reflect light in the dark night, like this path full of expectations is shining.

The village chief grinned, and his lips were trembling when he looked carefully.He slowly lowered his body and knelt down on the gravel road.

Li Gu hurriedly took a step back, trying to pull him - "Village Chief".

The old villager's face was filled with the consummation of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he waved back at him.

Li Gu was carrying the umbrella that he hadn't put away in time, and the tip of the umbrella was dripping water.The old village chief knelt down and slowly bent down until his arms touched the road firmly. Then he kowtowed heavily in the direction of the mountains.

When we were young, we didn't believe in heaven or fate, thinking that we could fight against all invincible forces with just a passion for blood. Later, we learned to bow our heads and be in awe in reality.But this is not a compromise. People are always working hard to live, and they are also trying to pray for the survival and mercy of life. If the latter is stingy with charity, then they have to work harder and live, that's it.

After class, Li Gu went to help a family building a house at the foot of the mountain, still with Tu Yuming's father.After finishing the work, I received a few dime notes with a small face value, flattened each of them, folded them and put them in my pocket.Tu Qingchuan put in more effort than him, and naturally received more money.During the meal, Li consulted him: "Uncle Tu, is there anything you want to buy recently?"

Tu Qingchuan evened out a piece of meat in his bowl, and bumped him with a smile: "I thought they were just like your kid, there are so many new things to buy."

Li Gu happily put the meat into his mouth: "Didn't I always watch you come out to do other jobs recently? You used to only sell medicine."

Without raising his head, Tu Qingchuan gulped down his meal: "The money is not too much, why do you ask me that, let's eat your meal."

Li Gu responded and continued eating.He touched the money saved in his pocket and felt at ease.These days, he was so busy going to work after class that he didn’t go to Ji Hanxing much, but when he thought of having money, he could buy snacks and fun things for the children, he was so happy, and he was so light that he wanted to fly .

It was almost dark when he ran back to his home, and Li Gu saw a few children going to play with Ji Hanxing from afar.A few people gathered together, with the back of Ji Hanxing's hand sticking out, which was much whiter than the palms of the children in the mountain, and the children made a fuss and chose him out.

Li Gu raised his eyebrows high, he couldn't say where he was unhappy, but when he thought that he was exhausted and the child went to play with other people, he really couldn't be happy.Ji Hanxing stood with his back to the children, and counted "three, two, one!", and the children ran towards him from the line in the distance. Tu Yuming ran like a rabbit, and quickly ran over and stretched out his hand I want to take a picture of Ji Hanxing.

The rule of the game is that if Ji Hanxing takes the shot before turning his head, he wins.Tu Yuming dropped his hand excitedly, but was caught by a man several heads taller than him the next moment.

"Huh? Brother Li Gu."

Li Gu shook his hand away in disgust: "What are you doing, your hands are so dirty and you don't wash them, what if you dirty people's clothes?"

Tu Yuming choked on him, and explained in a low voice: "We're playing a game."

Li Gu grabbed his paw and looked at it again, like an old nanny who is picky about beautiful girls: "Your hygiene is not good, what Teacher Ji said, nails need to be trimmed clean, it is not good to hide too much mud in the crevices."

Tu Yuming, who was dismissed for no reason, was speechless, and wondered if his nails were really as dirty as Li Gu said.Li Gu pretended to be surprised and glanced at Ji Hanxing again: "Why did you run out here indiscriminately? The teacher was looking for you just now. Come back with me."

Ji Hanxing showed an indescribable expression at his exaggerated acting skills, but obediently said goodbye to the other children.When he got to a place where no one was around, Li Gu took out a handful of candies and brought them to him as if by magic, they were all small ones wrapped in shiny candy paper. "I know you like sweets, so I bought them for you."

Ji Hanxing didn't answer, glanced at him, twisted his little body and was about to leave.Li Gu was in a hurry, and took him back with his arms: "What's the matter, don't you like this kind of candy? Brother, can I buy you a new one tomorrow?"

Ji Hanxing looked up at him, his eyes were as bright as stars: "Did brother run out again during class time?"

Li Gu understood what he was struggling with, so he involuntarily put a bag of candy into his little hand, and put a few that he couldn't hold in his pocket directly: "Don't worry, brother didn't skip class, you have been listening carefully these few days .”

Ji Hanxing stared at him suspiciously. Li Gu peeled off a candy wrapper for him, and said while peeling: "Not only did I not skip class, but the ancient prose you taught me was not wasted. Listen, 'the tree of the embrace is born at the end of the hair. The ninth floor The platform rises from the earth...'"

Ji Hanxing listened to his recitation word by word, checking for mistakes and omissions, with a very serious expression.Li Gu peeled the candy and brought it to his mouth, Ji Hanxing obediently opened his mouth and took the small piece of candy from his fingers.Show him a crooked smile.

Unspeakable

Li Gu was talking about business with people in the office. His seat was extremely soft, and he was the type that made it easy for people to lie down while sitting.Li Gu always maintained a good demeanor, with his back straight and straight, like some kind of tall and straight building.The other party looked him up and asked, "Mr. Li was a soldier before?"

"No." Li Gu took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "Why do you have such a question?"

The person opposite said: "My grandfather used to be a soldier, and his sitting posture is like that of Mr. Li. In the early days, he sat on a nanmu chair to keep his back straight. Later, when the soft sofa was changed at home, he always sat upright, and he always sat like this everywhere. He said this to be angry."

President Li smiled: "I'm used to it."

The other party complimented: "Then Mr. Li's family education must be very good." Li Gu gently rubbed the handle of the teacup, his eyes were gentle, where did he come from the family education, he was a poor child with no parents and no mother when he was young, this pair is not precious Even if there is a little bit of benefit and difference in the skin, it is because of the grace of the educated.

Not long after seeing off the guests, the secretary said that someone was coming to see him.

Tu Yuming rubbed his hands, followed by a man with extremely short shaved hair. The newly born hair covered the top of his head softly, which seemed a little soft-hearted.Seeing Li Gu, the man shrank his head subconsciously.

Seeing him like this, Tu Yuming also got angry: "Hey, why are you nervous? I brought you here because you said you wanted to come. Where are you going to hide now?"

Shao Li raised his head, looked at Li Gu, and did not say hello after a long time of deliberation. Several years of prison life had tempered him into a cautious person, and even the opening speech was based on observation.

"Long time no see." Li Gu said first.

"Yeah...it's been a long time." Shao Li faced him, flustered for no reason.He is not much older than Li Gu, and he was just regarded as an ordinary poor boy back then, but now Li Gu seems to have been reborn, his eyes startled him, and he couldn't help but fall into the disadvantaged.Shao Li thought a little dejectedly that they were no longer the same kind of people.

If Shao Li hadn't skipped the Chinese class in middle school, he should have remembered the words written by Frost at this time - "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and it's a pity that I can't go both ways"... No matter whether you think about it in the future, you went wrong or you went right, you can't go back and choose again.

Li Gu glanced at him, showing some gentleness on his face, and asked, "Are you still used to coming out?"

Shao Li quickly replied: "Fortunately, Yuming arranged a place for me to live, and it would be good if you found a job for me." Li Gu looked away, stared at the teacup and smiled to himself.

Shao Li didn't understand, and was afraid that Li Gu might misunderstand his purpose: "I came to thank you."

Li Gu smiled and waved his hands: "What are you being polite about, they all came from the same place."

"What happened back then..." He had just begun when Li Gu interrupted, his eyes still on the cup and not on Shao Li: "There is nothing to mention, it's all over."

"Yes, yes..." Shao Li echoed: "Xingxing... no, Ji Hanxing, is he alright?"

Li Gu covered the teacup with a slightly heavier hand, and the porcelain made a crisp sound of "touch" when they touched each other.Shao Li's heart tightened, and Li Gu smiled as if nothing had happened: "Why are you asking me again, haven't you visited him?"

Shao Li was embarrassed: "I didn't, I didn't go in. I didn't see him either..."

Li Gu patted him on the shoulder, "Come out, live a good life. Tell me if you have any difficulties, or let the rabbit talk to me."

After sending Shao Li back, Tu Yuming sat in Li Gu's office and drank a big mouthful of tea. Li Gu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Why is he here today?"

Tu Yuming said honestly, "He wants to see Teacher Xiao Ji."

Li Gu snorted softly, showing his true colors, "Don't even think about it." Tu Yuming disliked him: "You said you were pretending to be a dog, and you were as narrow-minded as a needle nose when you met Teacher Xiao Ji."

Boss Li was not ashamed but proud, and smiled frankly with a condescending look on his face: "You are indeed right."

Tu Yuming: "How did you plan?"

Li Gu restrained the unscrupulous expression on his face: "To tell you the truth, people always say that I was reborn as a golden phoenix and flew out of the mountains. But I know that I am not that kind of good bird. This kind of ungentleman's nature comes from here. I can be a restrained and decent person, but whenever someone wants to do something that is not good for him, I can tear off this layer of suit skin at any time, and hold my fist to follow. People are desperate." Tu Yuming looked at him for a long time, sighed for a long time and didn't say a complete sentence: "Oh, you, you..."

Xu Shi met Shao Li today, which reminded Li Gu of the past many years ago, and he was particularly attached to Ji Hanxing when he was eating at night, and he didn't forget to stare at him when he was eating.Ji Hanxing raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him out of the corner of his eye: "You watched me for a meal, where are you looking for *?"

Right in the middle of his arms, Li Guhuan was overjoyed, and slapped his thigh: "That's right!"

Ji Hanxing was shocked by the level of shamelessness he refreshed every day, straightened his face, and taught: "Eat well, don't talk while chewing."

Li Gu Congshan shut up obediently, sat upright, and his upper body was properly dressed like a beast.Under the table, he became dishonest, rubbing his feet vaguely against the leg of Ji Hanxing's suit trousers.

Ji Hanxing didn't change his face, and put a chopstick of vegetables into the bowl, eating gracefully.

Li Gu got excited and insisted on hooking him, so he slowly rubbed upwards.When I touched the one between his legs, I found that it had already bulged up.The old man almost laughed out loud, and rubbed his sensitive place with his toes through the fabric, making it even harder and hotter.

Ji Hanxing's eyes were filled with water vapor, which was the reaction of being aroused, and Li Gu gave him a provocative look.Ji Hanxing put down the bowl, picked up the cup and rinsed his mouth, then got up.

"Get up and go to the room." He said so plainly.Li Gu hurriedly jumped down from the chair, and quickly rinsed his mouth.As soon as the cup was put down, he followed Ji Hanxing's pace and rushed into the room. Just as he was about to close the door, Ji Hanxing pressed the door panel.

The handsome young man kissed him while unbuttoning his clothes, unlike that always calm and calm face, the eagerness of his actions betrayed him.Ji Hanxing moved away from Li Gu's lips, and licked and kissed along the corners of his lips, the side of his face, and the tip of his chin.When biting on his Adam's apple, Li Gu let out an uncontrollable moan: "Uh... star... star... um..."

He loves this man so much, every sexual intercourse is as passionate as a sacrifice, and Ji Hanxing still wants to make him comfortable during the foreplay.Li Gu had already untied his belt and stripped himself down to a pair of underwear.Then he freed his hands to untie Ji Hanxing's pants.

The trousers fell down, and he hooked Ji Hanxing's underwear and led him to the bed.Ji Hanxing was caught off guard by him and made his feet unsteady. The moment he lost his balance, he found himself falling on top of Li Gu, who was lying on the bed.Ji Hanxing was afraid that he would be pressed too hard, so he was about to stand up slightly, when Li Gu grabbed his shirt collar, leaned close to his ear and said, "Xing Xing, hug me."

study

Near the New Year's Eve, some migrant workers from Ningchuan came back one after another, and they were all mobilized to join the road construction team.The progress of the project was fast, and the village chief's face was full of joy every day, and he even liked the little devil Li Gu a lot.When the manpower is complete, he is no longer required to pick stones at the road construction site. When there are no classes, Li Gu leans against the wall to bask in the sun and endorses his books. Occasionally, he stands up and picks the vegetable leaves that are drying in front of the door. These are ready to be pickled for the winter. .

As the Chinese New Year approached, Li Gu felt more uncertain about one thing, but he refused to say it because of the face of the young man.I can only hurry up to work and find out a bunch of questions to ask Ji Zhiqing in my free time.With an indifferent smile on the corner of Ji Zhiqing's mouth, he answered him one by one.Finally, when Li Gu went back and forth again, he seemed to have no intention of asking: "What do you want to ask me?"

Li Gu was taken aback for a moment, but fortunately he couldn't tell that his face had blushed so much recently, so he asked awkwardly for a long time: "Teacher, are you going back to the city for the New Year?"

It was already winter vacation, so they were still studying.Mr. Li was worried that he would leave soon, and the educated youth returned to the city around this time last year.He wondered if Ji Zhiqing would take Ji Hanxing away as well.

Ji Zhiqing held a pen between his fingers, and turned it around casually. The tip of the pen landed on the paper and made a soft sound. Ji Zhiqing's expression was very indifferent: "I won't reply."

Celebrate New Year with the stars!Li Gu became happy all of a sudden, immersed in joy, he didn't notice Ji Zhiqing's abnormal expression, he was just a little worried and asked excitedly: "Is it true that the teacher won't celebrate the New Year with his family?"

Ji Zhiqing looked at him and smiled, his eyes were moist and gentle, and he quickly fell silent, "The last time I went back was to attend my father's funeral."

"...Yes, I'm sorry." Li Gu suddenly panicked.

Ji Zhiqing didn't care about it, and handed him the revised notebook: "It's okay, go and do your work. I have studied well recently."

Li Gu thanked him with a red face, holding a corner of the notebook and preparing to leave.

Ji Zhiqing suddenly called his name: "Li Gu, do you want to go to the county to study?"

Li Guzhen was stunned, he hadn't thought about this question yet.He is too young, so small that the world he can see is only the mountains and flowing water surrounded by Ningchuan. The biggest setback in life that can be foreseen is that he cannot buy the best candy for Ji Hanxing.As for going outside to study, such an idea has never appeared in his life.

"It's like this," Ji Zhiqing looked at his pensive look and the hair on the top of his head, his body that hadn't started to twitch seemed a little thin: "You are 15 years old during the Chinese New Year, and generally children at your age are already growing up. Go to high school and go to university after three years."

After hearing this, Li Gu thought to himself, he didn't start literacy education until he was in his late teens, and now his level is not as good as that of eight-year-old Ji Hanxing, how could he go to high school.

Xu could see that he was confused, Ji Zhiqing said: "If you have this wish, I think so, you have to work hard during the winter vacation, and try to get into the first grade of junior high school at the beginning of the new year. The entrance requirements of the school in the town are not high. It is enough to pass the basics. Then go to the exam with the class team, even though you are a little older, it is not impossible."

Li Gu stared at his frayed trousers for a while, then raised his head and asked Ji Zhiqing: "Xing Xing, will you also go to high school and then go to university?"

Ji Zhiqing looked at him for a while, then slightly bent the corners of his mouth: "He will go back to the city to study after the Chinese New Year."

Li Gu's eyes widened suddenly, Ji Zhiqing said: "He is in the second grade, he has already skipped the first grade, and he may also skip the third grade later."

It turns out that Xing Xing is so powerful, and Li Gu's little self-esteem was stimulated. It turns out that the little boy who plays with him every day is such a wonderful person. Some are not tasteful.He tentatively asked Ji Zhiqing: "I...I want to study. But, is there any tuition fee outside?"

Ji Zhiqing smiled softly, put his hands on top of his head, and rarely showed undisguised tenderness: "Tuition is compulsory education, and you don't have to worry about living expenses. If you want to study, there are always people who want to send you out."

Li Gu still lowered his head, and hadn't come out of Ji Zhiqing's words. After a long while, feeling a little lost, he took his notebook and said goodbye to him.Ji Zhiqing seemed to see through what he was thinking: "Xingxing has been raised by my father since he was sensible. My father used to be a private school teacher. Enlightenment is just a matter of time. If you are willing to learn, you can also be like him."

Li Gu squeezed the notebook tightly, wanted to say something but felt his throat tighten, so he could only make a vague "hmm".

When I came out, I happened to meet Ji Hanxing practicing calligraphy with a small wooden stick under the tree. The branch was as long as his arm, and he wrote repeatedly stroke by stroke on the sand.Li Gu didn't know what he was thinking, he just held the corner of his exercise book and watched him quietly from the side.He is 14 years old, and he is still learning the most basic basic knowledge every day, and his little friend is so good and beautiful.Li Gu stayed aside, not daring to go forward.

The warm light at sunset shone on the top of Ji Hanxing's head, casting a layer of gentle light on his small figure.Li Gu sniffed, and decided that this time, he would leave quietly.

I am here

A child can't hold many worries in his heart, and Li Gu's head can't hold such a huge worry. After a while, he took his tattered book and went to nest under a tree root not far away to endorse the book.

The bunch of words Confucius said made his scalp numb. While the little monk was reciting the scriptures without thinking, Li Gu was still looking at the little figure not far away.After all, Ji Hanxing is not willing to leave. Ji Hanxing is expected to start school in February in the city after spending the New Year here.But he just found such a likable kid, at that time Li Gu didn't know how to describe this feeling.At that time, Hanxing was eight years old, which ignited another possibility in Li Gu's life.

Ji Hanxing has a kind of sharp beauty, even if he is as white and tender as a girl, it is difficult for others to mistake him for a timid and easy-to-knead child when seeing his dark eyes.When he was serious, he was a bit cold, but he was still very young at that time, and his charm was often concealed by his delicate appearance, which easily gave people the illusion of gentleness.

Li Gu looked at him for a while, then lowered his head, staring at the fluffy book in a daze.

He made a decision that he was going to middle school.Although I don't know if there is a drop in the horoscope, but this idea makes him feel a little different. He grasped this fragile confidence and wanted to become a better person.Li Gu leaned against the tree roots and closed his eyes, silently recalling the chapters he had just recited in his mind.

A pair of warm and delicate hands covered his eyes: "Guess who I am?"

The temperature on those hands was very comfortable, and they were as soft as if they had no bones.Li Gu replied sullenly: "I don't know."

The child was unhappy, and there was something unusual in his tone: "If you don't know, I won't let you go."

Li Gu had no choice but to laugh: "I know, I know who you are."

"Who is it?" The child asked eagerly, but it was different from usual.

Li Guren let him cover his eyes with his hands, and said slowly: "The village chief told me that there are so many stars in the sky, they come out at night and go back in the daytime, because there are people who herd them. You are the god who looks after the stars. wrong?"

"No, I am the star." The child let go of his hand, and ran to sit beside him lively.The two stood side by side, he was a bit shorter than Li Gu, exposing the fluffy top of his head, Li Gu felt how cute he looked, but couldn't help feeling inferior, so he glanced at him and looked away.

On the contrary, Ji Hanxing talked to him with great interest: "Brother Li Gu, do you want to become the god who guards the stars?"

Li Gu stared at the toe of his shoe, and said after a while, "I'm not... I'm someone who stands on the ground and looks at the stars."

Ji Hanxing looked at him seriously and said nothing.

Li Gu felt that those eyes were too deep, more like looking at him, but an eight-year-old child shouldn't have such eyes.

A cluster of small flames slowly became brighter and hotter in his chest. Li Gu clenched and loosened his fists, brewing for a long time, and said to Ji Hanxing, "Xing Xing, I'm going to go to middle school."

Ji Hanxing opened his eyes wide, and then curled up the corners of his mouth: "Really? Brother is awesome!"

Li Gu really laughed this time, little thing, if he didn't know that he himself had skipped a grade, Li Gu would definitely think that his admiration was worthless.Faced with Ji Hanxing, Li Gu finally realized that his youthful vanity was not reliable, and he honestly expressed his thoughts: "I don't know much Chinese characters now, and my grades are very poor. I don't know if I can pass the exam." Woolen cloth."

"Well, come here a little bit." Ji Hanxing said.Li Gu leaned over obediently, Ji Hanxing narrowed his eyes, stretched out his finger, and tapped Li Gu's brow.Li Gu was a little taken aback, and the corners of Ji Hanxing's mouth curled up beautifully: "I'll share it with you, now I can recite the books, and my brother can also know it."

Li Gu was pleased by his rare childishness, and opened his mouth to say "thank you", thank you for seeing that I was in a bad mood and making me happy.Ji Hanxing shook his head slightly to prevent him from saying the next words, and exchanged a tacit look with him with a slight blink: "Let's go, we should go back."

"Yeah." Li Gu led him back.

"Xing Xing, in two days, my lord and I will go to the market. Let's play together, okay?"

"Okay," Ji Hanxing agreed very happily, "My brother will take me, and the educated youth uncle will feel at ease."

Summer days are always long.

It was almost eight o'clock when the driver sent Li Gu home, and the sky had no intention of getting dark.At the gate of the community, a melon farmer and a child were setting up a stall to sell watermelons. The old melon farmer was surrounded by a few residents who were waiting to weigh and pay. The little one was left alone, and he was running around in short-sleeved shorts, like a loach. shuttle through the crowd.Li Gu frowned, leaned over to pick a watermelon, and asked him when paying the money: "My fellow, why did you bring the child out? There are so many people here, so be careful." Clean, took his money and said, "In the countryside, no one takes it with me. I can't see it by myself. Fortunately, the child is good, so I just run around and don't go far." Li Gu asked for a few more melons. , I bought it and asked the driver to take it back and distribute it to other people, and told the melon farmer: "Be careful, the people in the urban area are quite mixed."

In three or two steps, I quickly returned home.

"Xing Xing, I'm back!" No one in the room answered.

Knock again, shout again, still no one.Li Gu didn't know whether it was sweat from the heat, or he was anxious, so he hurried to get the key to open the door.There was no one in the room, and in the panic, they didn't notice when the bag burst. The melon rolled out of it, so ripe that it cracked when it hit the floor.Li Gu didn't care about the red flesh and the juice flowing out of it, and ran around the room as if lost in his soul.

He didn't see Ji Hanxing, so he rushed out of the door in a hurry, and pressed the shortcut key on his mobile phone to call Ji Hanxing.When the call rang, Ji Hanxing bumped into a tall and beautiful young man head-on, and Ji Hanxing grabbed him: "What's the matter, where are you going?"

Li Gu stared at his face, and it took two seconds before he came back to his senses, and clasped his hand firmly.

"Tutoring a student for these two days, I don't think you will come back so early so I didn't tell you... Li..."

The door was closed, and Li Gu took him into his arms vigorously with their interlocking hands, and hugged him tightly.Resting his head on Ji Hanxing's shoulder, Li Gu hugged him so hard that Ji Hanxing hurt a little: "Xingxing..."

Ji Hanxing was a little baffled, seeing the broken watermelon on the ground, he didn't understand what was going on, he only knew that Li Gu's mood was not stable at the moment, his eyes warmed up, and he reached out to stroke the back of Li Gu's head and ears: "Well, I I'm here, I'm going home with you."

Go to the market

Before dawn in the morning, the old village chief's house had already started a fire. Li Gu quickly picked up the vegetable porridge, and finished eating two big steamed buns like a rabbit.Then I rushed to help the adults, and moved the goods to be sold to the cart.

For this opportunity to go to the market to see the world, Li Gu waited for a long time, and worked tirelessly behind the old village chief, fearing that he would regret not taking him along the way.The special products in the mountains are loaded on a cart, and the cattle are pulled. Now that the road has been repaired a little, it is better to walk a lot, and I can bring more things out.

After moving the goods, I went to pick up Ji Hanxing, because the children also got up early because they had to go to the market. It seemed that they hadn't fully opened their eyes. All they could see was the long eyelashes fluttering, and they were sitting on a high stool. eating breakfast.When Li Gu arrived, he was finishing the last mouthful of the bowl and put down his chopsticks.Ji Hanxing probably didn't feel angry after waking up, so he became lazy after eating and didn't really want to move. He glanced at Li Gu, and Li Gu walked over and lifted him off the stool very understandingly.Ji Hanxing smiled at him with curved lips.

"What did I tell you?" Ji Zhiqing came over with a hot towel.

Ji Hanxing pouted slightly, and muttered in a low voice, "Don't bother others if you can do it yourself."

Li Gu quickly smoothed things over: "Brother is not someone else, it doesn't matter." Ji Zhiqing had nothing to say to his willingness to be ordered, and handed the towel to Ji Hanxing, who took it and wiped the corners of his mouth and hands.

Before leaving, Ji Zhiqing wrapped the scarf she knitted herself. The indigo wool was made by Ji Zhiqing's own sweater.Usually children don't need such a dark scarf, but after wrapping it around Ji Hanxing's neck, it makes his complexion white, more like a porcelain doll.Ji Zhiqing told him: "Go outside and follow your brother Li Gu, don't run around. The pocket money is in your pocket, you can buy what you like, go, come back early."

Ji Hanxing huddled his small face in the warm scarf, and waved to Ji Zhiqing.

Every inch of space on the cart has to be filled with things that can be sold, and there is only a corner left for people to sit on. The highest standard is not to fall off.Tu Yuming's father was holding a basket, and was sitting on the side of the car. He was not tall at first, but now he looked more like a mature middle-aged gecko.

Everyone else felt sorry for Ji Hanxing's young age, so there was an empty seat for him in front. Fortunately, he was not too big, so he didn't need too much room.Li Gu kept guard beside him, lest he be knocked off on the way.

Li Gu was full of anticipation for the market in the town, and he was talking to Ji Hanxing all the way, talking about the appearance of the market he had heard before. Spelled into a complete picture of his own imagination.Ji Hanxing went to an elementary school in the city, and he had never seen a market in the town, and he was ready to move when Li Gu told him that, showing a pair of big eyes from the tightly wrapped scarf, looking curiously at the scenery on the mountain road.

The wind blew past my ears, and the sky slowly brightened.

Li Gu took two breaths of warm air into the palm of his hand, rubbed it together, and put it next to Ji Hanxing's small ears: "If you're sleepy, sleep for a while, it won't be long before you go to the city."

Ji Hanxing was in a good mood: "I haven't seen the sky light up like this before, I want to see more."

"Okay then." Li Gu sat a little closer and tightened the front of his clothes for him: "Brother will watch with you."

Ji Hanxing is eight years old this year. He needs to eat well and sleep well to grow his body. In the morning, Ji Zhiqing managed to wake him up and eat breakfast. It was already the limit. The car wobbled forward. Almost unable to bear the drowsiness, he leaned on Li Gu and fell asleep.

Li Gu poked his little face, and the place where his finger touched was poked into a shallow dimple, and it quickly bounced back as soon as he let go.Li Gu thought it was fun, so he poked it again.

Tu Yuming's father was amused to see it, and joked: "Ms. Ji picked up this doll really well, and it's more handsome than our little girl."

Li Gu lowered his voice, afraid of waking Ji Hanxing up: "Why did you pick it up, isn't it Teacher Ji's uncle?"

Uncle Tu glanced at him, and said "tsk": "You see, although this doll was taught by your teacher Ji, it looks a bit similar in speech and deeds, but this appearance can't deceive people. Besides, your teacher Ji's temperament, how can you be like a child?" Is it possible to marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to such a big baby?"

Although Li Gu was also curious about Ji Hanxing's life experience, he somehow didn't want to discuss it with other people: "No, it might be from a relative's family. Which parent has a doll like him and would throw it away."

Uncle Tu sighed: "You didn't hear someone say..."

"Cough cough," the old village head who was driving ahead stopped Uncle Tu, "The cold wind can't keep your mouth shut in the morning, so you have to drink all your stomach to go in?"

Uncle Tu bared his teeth at Li Gu, and waved his hand to say no more.

Li Gu was curious, but subconsciously he didn't want to delve into it, so he stretched out his hand to wrap Ji Hanxing around the scarf that fell off, and Ji Hanxing muttered: "Well, are you here yet?"

"No, no." Li Gu gently rubbed his head twice, "You sleep next to brother, and I'll call you when we arrive."

"Well, well..."

Everything in the market in the town is reasonable and somewhat beyond Li Gu's imagination.At least in his mind, this place should be more like a paradise than the messy market and noisy crowd in front of him.Li Gu's face was blurred by the fireworks in the world, and his mind was a little dazed for a while.

"Hey, let's go, let's go, be careful!" Uncle Tu helped the village head drive the car, yelling skillfully, squeezed a way out of the impenetrable crowd, and drove the small cart away to their booth.Cattle cannot be brought in, they are taken back after the cart is pulled out of the mountain.

After entering the city, Ji Hanxing got out of the car, and Li Gu led him by the hand.

A chicken that was about to have its neck cut flew over by the side of the road, and the fishy feathers and the chicken's screams followed. Li Gu took Ji Hanxing into his arms and blocked the chicken that risked its life to survive. chicken.

"Are you scared?" Li asked him.

"No, my brother blocked it for me." Ji Hanxing poked his head out of the scarf and looked up at him.

Li Gu only felt that he was as small as a chicken cub and would be easily bumped into by the crowd, so he brought Ji Hanxing to him and protected him with both hands as he walked forward.

The section further ahead is concentrated in the sale of aquatic products. The fishmonger has just fished out a live fish from the basin and is preparing to slaughter it on the spot.Put the fish in a cloth bag, smash it to the ground hard, take out the dying fish after two hits, and press it on the nail board.A fish with a long forearm was still struggling after being beaten twice, but its head was nailed to a wooden board, and it couldn't escape no matter how much it moved.Fishmongers scrape their scales off with a stiff brush and slit them sideways with a knife.

Blood flowed down the terrain.

Li Gu frowned, stretched out his feet, and said to the child, "Step on my shoes and don't touch that dirty thing."

Ji Hanxing looked at him and felt that Li Gu's expression was a bit gloomy, but he didn't want to step on Li Gu's shoes and knew that Li Gu would not agree to him going by himself, so he opened his arms to Li Gu: "Brother wants to hug you!" .”

The hostility in Li Gu's eyes suddenly dissipated, he squatted down, and lifted Ji Hanxing up.

The boy's body was not thick and strong, but he was very strong. He hugged Ji Hanxing across the messy intersection before letting him down.

Ji Hanxing walked side by side with him for a while, and took the initiative to hook Li Gu's hand.Li Gu was a little disappointed, he regretted bringing Ji Hanxing out.At first, I wanted to bring Ji Hanxing to join in the fun, but when I got there, I found that it was not that fun, and I remembered that I hadn't asked Ji Hanxing if he would like to join in the fun, and his mood was even more complicated.Ji Hanxing took his hand: "Brother Li Gu, let's go sell things for the village chief?" His eyes sparkled, as if he was very interested in understanding all this. "Yes." Li Gu agreed.

The village head sells dried fruits and medicinal materials from the mountains.
