prince and farmer

You obediently tell Uncle, what on earth are you thinking, you are an orphan... well, don’t stare at Uncle, you are no different from an orphan, you grew up eating a lot of food, and you are the child of everyone in our village.In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so much, you'll be married when you're a boy, and you'll be married if you're a girl... Big fellows... are very worried about you.You have been close to me since you were a child, and I have no children, so I treat you like a half-baby. Do you think they are just bragging in front of you?Those women, I'm tired of hearing it! "

"I can't help it." The farmer was a little awkward and shy, "I know that when I get older, I will marry a wife, have children, and carry on the family, but I... I just can't accept it."

"What can't be accepted? Women?"

"I don't know, I can't live with a strange woman, I don't feel comfortable."

"What do you mean by strangers? They are all neighbors and close relatives." Uncle gave him a look, "You! Think too much. In this village, don't be like Uncle. After reading two books and knowing a few words, you will automatically I thought it was different, and I wanted to pursue the love in the book, look at it now...it’s too! I don’t want to talk about it, and I feel very depressed when I talk about it.”

"I... Uncle, don't talk about it." The farmer turned his head, and a stubborn light flashed in his two dark eyes, "I stick to my idea."

"Okay! It's fine if you don't listen. Uncle asked you something gossip, slightly..." Uncle pouted at the bed, "How do you deal with that kid?"

"What about him... I don't worry, his body is too thin, and the wind and snow outside are heavy... Uncle, anyway, I have strength, a pig is enough to feed him for a year, and he doesn't seem to eat much. I told him To tell you the truth, I plan to let him stay and send him home after he recovers and the weather outside is better." The farmer turned his head and stared deeply at the person on the bed.Many images flashed through my mind, all of them were him.

"Hmph! Is your body healthy? The weather is fine? Send him home? Do you think Uncle is a fool? He is a weakling. If he is raised for a lifetime, he will not grow up to your satisfaction even if he drinks lard every day! And... This is the northern country! Huh, the days with good weather? It’s less than the days when the days are longer than the nights! Besides, home? According to what you said, it’s probably because something happened to the family. The only seedling!"

"Then I'll raise him for the rest of my life. It's not like I can't afford it! If it's what you said, how pitiful he would be. No one in the world will treat him well again."

"You! You are confused! We have nothing to do with the world here! If he comes in... hey, it won't do any good if he gets mixed up with the court! And you... forget it! Anyway, if he is a woman, you keep his uncle No other words! But he is a man! The people here are simple and simple, but it is because of the simplicity of the people that we cannot accept...those...stirring things!"

"Stop talking, Uncle, this is the end of your talk, it's useless to talk more, I'll take him away right now! It won't hinder your eyes!" The farmer ran to the bed, making a gesture to pick up Anu and leave.

"Wait!" Uncle glared at the farmer for a while, and suddenly forced a faint smile from the corner of his mouth, "What! What is this for! You are looking for death! Uncle said a few more words and was about to cut off Uncle Relationship? When you get old, you talk too much. I won’t stop you if you want to take him away, hmph, I can’t stop you either, but...you can’t blame me if you die.”

"This..." The farmer hesitated, lowered his eyes, and did not move for a long time.

Uncle sighed, "Silly boy, sit down. Just be uncle... just worrying about nothing. Those things... are far away in the past, maybe... it doesn't matter. If you want to keep him, just keep him." Go ahead, stay as long as you want. You are old, but I haven't turned around yet, and I still treat you as the slug following my ass, and can't help but say a lot of annoying things."

"Uncle! I..." The farmer raised his head eagerly, his eyes already filled with confusion, "You know, I don't mean that! Don't you think, he is really afraid of you? He is so thin, small, So..." He stopped abruptly.

"Well, maybe."

Outside the window, the north wind howled endlessly.This winter has been extremely long.

In the distant capital of Kyoto, turbulent waves are quietly developing under the calm water.Three adult tigers of about the same strength are still fighting to the death.Aside from a lose-lose outcome, the only option left seems to be a stalemate.In the jittery and tense atmosphere, a surviving soldier brought back a new variable.

The prince may still be alive!

The prince who killed his own father, the poor young prince in the cold palace and the cruel prince who grew up in the hall, the unrecognized son and the righteous prince...whether it is to eradicate future troubles or make other plans.People in Kyoto... are silently waiting for the return of the prince.

The weather is not sunny yet.Such a big snowstorm, such a faint sun and the same weak warmth, when will the dawn of hope appear in this land, this country?The empty dragon chair was silently calling for his unknown master.

A week later, the snow that had fallen for too long stopped, and Anu, who had recovered from his injuries, was taken back to the farmer's home.

A new starting point, a new life, and, before dawn, you can start looking forward to the dawn.

"Hey, idiot! Do you know? When I was young, when I left my mother, there was a lot of snow. I used to think that I would never encounter such a long and heavy snow again. " Maybe it was too boring, or maybe it was the pain and the days of being together that cracked a small crack in his heart, and Anu felt the desire to talk for the first time.At this moment, he was lying tightly on the farmer's shoulder, buried his head deeply on the farmer's shoulder, and sprayed the hot air from his mouth onto the farmer's ears.

The man under him is trustworthy.Anu thought of this when he smelled the mellow man's breath.

"I'm not a fool." The farmer muttered dejectedly.

"Never mind! Ben... I'm going to call you a fool! Watch out! Go slower and don't shake my shoes off."

"But I'm already slow enough, and I'm tired if I walk slowly."

"I don't care! Anyway... Anyway, you have so much strength!" Anu pinched the farmer's thick arm enviously and jealously, and then found that his movements made him tremble with satisfaction.So... He rolled his eyes and pinched them again, and sure enough, the other party trembled again.

"Hey, it's fun!" Anu laughed silently and excitedly in his heart, and then continued to pinch!pinch!pinch!

"Anu...don't play! I...I'm uncomfortable."

"Ah? Are you uncomfortable? But I... think it's very fun. Look, you're always shaking."

"Anu..." the farmer sighed helplessly, feeling that the heat rising from his body was becoming more and more dangerous, so he quickly changed the subject and took the other person's attention away from his arm, "Then...do you miss you?" Mother? If you want to, I will take you to see her when the weather clears up. "

"I can't see it, I can't see it forever...I...she is dead, father...my father said that she died of illness, but I always suspect that my mother...maybe my father sent someone to kill her , because of her identity..."

The warm and cold water dripped silently on the neck. The farmer shrank his neck, feeling a little itching sprouting from the bottom of his heart and then growing countless branches, which made his heart feel uncomfortable.

"Don't cry, don't cry... I'm sorry, I apologize, I talk too much, I... I didn't think through my words... don't cry anymore." The farmer was trembling, panting heavily, and at the first moment, he unexpectedly I felt like I had stopped breathing.

He stopped, his mouth wriggling, he wanted to say, he wanted to tell Anu, don't cry, in fact, like you, I am a child without a mother.But he also felt that it was a long and vague story, and since he was not good at words, it would definitely be boring to tell, maybe it would not only fail to comfort the other party, but would make people even more sad. He smiled, feeling a little uncomfortable as if something was blocked in his throat, but...not particularly uncomfortable.After all... After so many years, I have come here like this, and the idea of ​​unwillingness and sadness has almost faded away. Occasionally, I remember it as faintly as today, and it will be fine after a while.So he simply took a deep breath, shrunk his neck, lowered his head and walked on.

"It's so cold! Don't talk, drink the wind! Just listen to what I say, our house is quite far away! But it's almost there soon, hold on for a while, bury your head in my collar, it's warm there. It will be fine when I get home. I have a lot of carbon left over from the past few years, and now it is just in use. It’s a pity that my bed is too small and there is only one. Hehe, don’t be disgusted when the time comes, but don’t worry , I don't have athlete's foot, and I like to be clean. Are you listening?"

"Uh-huh."

"Tell you not to raise your head, and lower your head when you lie down! Also don't talk, what should I do if I accidentally catch a cold?"

"You are so annoying." Anu raised his head, pouted his mouth, but quickly rolled his eyes and lay down on the ground, "Obviously you asked me if I was listening, and I answered you and said me."

"Okay, my fault. Okay, okay, here, here, see? That's my house! Isn't it beautiful? When I was 17, I worked alone for six or seven days to fix it. I was alone I was very stubborn at that time! I didn’t want to owe my uncles and maids any more favors, so I persisted so hard that no one helped me! When I started repairing, I was so tired that I woke up after sleeping for a whole day!”

"Are you alone? How tired, why don't you let them help you? Fool!" Anu slapped the farmer on the back.

"Poor, it stands to reason that you need to eat to help build a house. I couldn't afford to eat by myself at that time, and I had nothing but strength. At that time... I had a big appetite! I always felt that I could eat a cow! Originally You can still earn a lot of money by working hard, but hey, you still can’t afford that hungry stomach.”

"what about now?"

"Now? It's enough to raise one you and ten more children! I can do everything now, hunting and farming, and I'm the best in several villages!"

"Oh, you're pretty amazing then."

"hey-hey."

"Fool!"

The road ahead has come to an end, but the farmer feels that if he talks with the other party all the way, then he is willing to keep going.

I really want to cut it willfully. . . . .
