Yichun Ji: Years Voiceless

Although Wen Xu's drinking capacity has slightly increased compared to a few years ago, and he won't be so drunk that he is unconscious, but it is inevitable that he still has a hangover.In the early morning of this day, Wen Xu was awakened by the noisy conversation and footsteps outside the door. He rubbed his temples, which were a little sore, and sat up with his arms propped up.

Wen Xu carefully discerned the sounds outside. Wen Xu was blind, but his hearing was first-rate. He calmed down and listened for a while, and was surprised to find his aunt's voice among them.As the saying goes, a married daughter throws water, and this aunt never saw her warm parents after they died.Wen Xu doesn't blame this aunt whom she hasn't seen for a long time, after all, she also has her own family to take care of.But why is she here now?

Wen Xu groped from the bedside to find a neatly stacked set of clothes. Mu Huai'an was afraid that Wen Xu would catch a cold if he couldn't find the clothes in the morning, so he carefully prepared clean clothes every night and placed them on Wen Xu's bedside. with.Wen Xu put on his clothes and picked up the stick beside the bed. This was cut by Mu Huai'an himself for Wen Xu. Wen Xu grew up fast, and felt that the stick was short within a few months. Wen Xu didn't mention it, but Mu Huai However, An always prepared a new probe for Wen Xu in time, and such careful care made Wen Xu's heart feel hot.

It was strange to say that Wen Xu didn't hear Mu Huai'an's voice in such a noisy place outside.Wen Xu didn't go directly to the yard, but looked around, calling Mu Huai'an's name, not in the room, not in the front hall, not even the kitchen, which is unusual.Wen Xu was a little flustered, so she decided to go to the yard first to find out what happened.

Wen Xu leaned on his stick and walked into the yard, the noise was getting closer and closer, it seemed to be mixed with the sound of digging the soil, Wen Xu identified the direction of the sound, a strong uneasiness welled up in his heart, that locust tree!Wen Xu didn't care about exploring the way carefully, and ran towards the locust tree staggeringly. He changed his usual obedient and smooth appearance, and asked sharply: "What are you doing!"

My aunt hadn't seen Wen Xu for many years, she only remembered that he was a slender and short child, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would be so handsome and taller a lot.The aunt laughed and approached, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a few years, Xiao Xu looks so handsome, my aunt almost doesn't recognize you! It seems that your life is still pretty good."

Wen Xu was anxious in her heart, but she didn't have time to greet this aunt who wasn't close, so she quickly repeated the question just now: "What are you doing!" The tone was very blunt, and the aunt was stunned, How did the well-behaved little rabbit turn into a vicious little wolf dog?

At this moment, my aunt put away her playful tone, and sighed, "Xiaoxu, it's like this, your little cousin has reached the age of going to school, but my aunt's family is really struggling, and there is no money left for him to go to school." The locust tree in your family is also hundreds of years old. Although the locust tree is always unlucky, it is worth a little money when it is old. In this way, my aunt will not treat you badly. You take the money, whatever the case It can improve your life."

Saying that, my aunt took out some broken silver from her purse, which was a deposit from the person who wanted to buy the locust tree, and my aunt was not willing to give it all to Wen Xu, so she took half of it painfully, and stuffed it in reluctantly. Warm hands.But Wen Xu didn't take the money seriously at all, and casually threw it to his side, saying neither humble nor overbearing: "I don't want any money, you are not allowed to take the tree away!"

Uncle has a bad temper, seeing his daughter-in-law talking badly, but this little brat didn't appreciate it, stepped forward and pushed Wen Nu to the ground, scolding angrily: "You little blind man who doesn't know what to do, what's the use of guarding a broken tree?" , It’s not uncommon to give you silver! Don’t pull it down, we must take the tree away, and we don’t bother you if you don’t want the money!” He picked up the broken silver on the ground and returned it to the aunt.

Wen Xu was pushed unexpectedly, and the probing stick fell to the side.Wen Xu fumbled for the stick anxiously, but couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked, but she didn't know that the stick on the ground was picked up by her uncle just now, and she secretly hid it behind her.Uncle told a tall and burly man next to him in a low voice: "Zhuzi, watch out for that little blind man, don't let him get in our way."

The big man who was called a pillar responded, stepped forward and grabbed Wen Xu by the collar, and dragged him aside vigorously. Although Wen Xu had grown a lot, he was no match for such a big man after all. He tried his best Struggling: "Let go of me! Stop! Other trees are fine, but you must not move this locust tree!"

Uncle didn't care about the protest of the blind boy, he called the men he brought with him and threw the locust tree on the ox cart to resist.This locust tree is too strong to be dragged by cattle, so several big men are still pushing the cart together.Seeing that his companions had left, Zhuzi wanted to follow him, but was worried that Wen Xu would catch up.He glanced at the yard, found a hemp rope and tied him up, not caring at all what would happen if no one helped the young man untie the rope...
