cloudless sky

It was colder during the snowmelt season, the wind was blowing in the mountains, and the climb was bumpy all the way, and the people on the shoulders woke up.

Half of Ye Weiliao's head was exposed outside the curly fur, and the cold wind blew, and suddenly shivered, blinked vaguely, seeing a nearby ray, one ear, a piece of blue sky in the distance, and a vein The blue rocks are slanted, the morning light is faint, and it is dawn again.In an instant, there was a flower in front of my eyes, and it fell down.

Feng Pingping was jumping down from an upright rock section, and Ye Weiliao fell down across his shoulders, and couldn't help saying: "Huh?"

"Don't move around." Feng Pingping said, tightening the leather ropes on both shoulders to fix the fur curls more firmly, ran out along the gravel road for a while, and then climbed the opposite rock wall. The rock was steep, and he used his hands and feet to climb up Jump vertically, jump backwards fast.

"The sixth day?" Ye Weiliao was stupefied by the cold wind, staring at the wall standing in front of him, and asked blankly, "What are you doing? Why are you tied up?"

"It's all right." Feng Pingping answered irrelevantly.

"Something's up! Tie me up!" Ye Weiliao regained consciousness, trying to move in the tightly wrapped fur roll, but failed, so Xingshi asked the crime: "What do you want to do, just tell me and I'll go with you, why tie me up?" It also scratched my clothes. In such a cold weather, the fur is not close to the body, and the wind is all the way. Ever since you were taken away by Tan Zhonglu when you were nine years old, I have worked so hard to find you for so many years and finally found you You little stinky face, not only do you not remember me, but you also stabbed me with a knife and tied me up. Did you learn something bad? What did Tan Zhonglu teach you! I knew that this crazy woman should not let you be taken away, But then I couldn't beat her!"

As he talked, he didn't know why he said something wrong. After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice: "Chu Liu, are you angry with me? I didn't protect you and lost you."

"..."

Feng Pingping didn't answer him, grabbed an old vine, climbed up the rock wall, climbed a crooked old tree, jumped to a gentle slope in the middle of the mountain, and entered a mountain forest, where the trees were bare and scattered with dead leaves Looking out from the gap, the sky was even clearer. Feng Pingping strode forward stepping on the fallen leaves that had accumulated in the forest for many years and the few pieces of snow that had not yet melted, even carrying a large living person on his back without difficulty.

Ye Weiliao walked across the forest across his shoulders, and from time to time a branch came towards him, but Feng Pingping either sideways or bent down, never let the branch poke his head and face.

"The sixth day," Ye Weiliao called him again, and asked, "You still don't believe me?"

Feng Pingping quickened his pace, rushed to the end of the forest, and jumped off a cliff.Relying on the wind, hovering in the air, there was a moment of silence on his back.Landing on the soil layer below the cliff, he stepped firmly and never fell.

Ye Weiliao looked sideways, and in front of him was a narrow valley between two peaks, with huge rocks and trees all over it, and a stream meandering down it, and the white snow and ice that had not yet melted formed in the shade of the stream, and the snow water was also full of water. It merges into the stream, gurgling and flowing, and occasionally there are a few birds chirping, but it is also a beautiful scenery outside the world.

Going up the stream along the bank, it seems that there is often no road, but Feng Pingping moves and jumps as smoothly as a stroll in a courtyard.

"On the sixth day of the lunar new year, are we going to your residence?"

"On the sixth day of the lunar new year, someone is going to kill you now, even if they don't kill you, they will arrest you, so why don't you go back to your place?"

"On the sixth day of the lunar new year, are you going to find Tan Zhonglu? Are you worried about her? Sure enough, you forgot me after following her for a long time. She treats me very badly, isn't she not so bad to you? It's your uncle after all. But You don't have to worry too much, think about it, if they set up an ambush in the town, they will definitely not be able to find where you are in the mountains. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier to kill people in the wild mountains? But there is no guarantee when they will find them in the mountains, you know Hui Tan Zhonglu is fine. Then you come with me, you can’t go with her, or I won’t be able to see you for many years. It’s fine if I can’t see you, what if she teaches you worse? No, absolutely not .”

"On the sixth day, please put me down, I'm afraid you will be tired..."

"On the sixth day of the lunar new year, my back hurts, and I have an old injury on my waist. The one you saw yesterday was hit by Tan Zhonglu. Let me down..."

"On the sixth day, I'm hungry..."

"Sixth day..."

Feng Pingping didn't listen and didn't answer a word.

Ye Weiliao was not discouraged, and kept chatting with him all the way, countless "sixth day" rang out in the back of his head, followed by many gossip, endlessly.

"Don't call me Chu Liu." Feng Pingping finally couldn't help it.

"But your nickname is Chu Liu, and you came down with me. You smiled happily when I named you, but you don't like it anymore when you grow up? Why is that? I don't mind you calling me brother Chu Wu , I will definitely promise you well." Ye Weiliao finally waited for him to respond, although he complained, his tone was still smiling.

"Don't call."

"Okay, if you don't call me, I won't call you. Let's change the name." Ye Weiliao sighed with a smile, and said, "Ping Ping, I call you Ping Ping, although I didn't pick you up. Ping Ping, I'm hungry. Eat well. I don’t feel hungry when I’m on my way, my stomach is growling since I saw you, do you hear me? My stomach is growling right behind your head!”

"Don't talk to me in such a coaxing tone, I'm not a child anymore." Feng Pingping said in a deep voice.

"I know you've grown up, but you're still my little brother!"

Feng Pingping jumped onto a big rock, stopped for a while, and turned his head to look at him.Ye Weiliao met his gaze sideways, was slightly startled, and gradually stopped smiling.His expression was neither angry nor annoyed, neither happy nor sad, but there was a deep sternness in his eyes, with a hint of chill, like sharp-edged ice.

"I just want you to believe me. How can I tell you to believe me?" Ye Weiliao stopped coaxing him and asked seriously.

Feng Pingping blinked and blinked again, his eyes softened a little.He turned around, took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it, and handed a piece of dried meat to the end of the fur roll.

Ye Weiliao sniffed it, held it in his mouth, and muttered a comment while chewing: "It's so hard jerky..."

Feng Pingping didn't wait for him to finish eating, and jumped from one boulder to another with his back on his back. He almost choked on the bump, and coughed up half of the jerky, and said loudly: "What kind of road are you walking! There is no flat mountain road!"

Hearing that his mouth was empty, Feng Pingping stuffed him with another piece of jerky to stop him from speaking.Feeding while climbing the mountain, a pack of jerky was fed one after another, he was really hungry.

After the mountain stream went to a mountain stream, there were three cascading waterfalls on it. The streams fell on the rocks and then drifted in all directions, scattered into clouds of water-colored smoke, coldly infiltrating the scenery and pedestrians.There are many green trees and grass growing in the gaps between the rocks on both sides, which are lush and green, and have not faded after a winter.

Feng Pingping climbed to the middle of the mountain along a narrow road among the rocks and trees. The rocks along the way, walking slowly sideways, still inevitably bumped the fur curls on his back several times.Ye Weiliao complained loudly, Feng Pingping raised his hand and rubbed his head, but refused to let him down.On the top of the waterfall, there is another high and steep rock wall, straight up and down, which is more dangerous than the previous terrain.Ye Weiliao didn't bother any more, and only told him to be careful.

After entering the mountain, it took more than half a day to go round and round, and finally climbed to the top of the cliff and stood on the ridge.

On the other side of the mountain is a quiet valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with layers of forests all over the foothills on one side. There is a stream winding around the edge of the forest.Where Feng Pingping stood, there was a steep grass-covered slope under his feet, with several protruding rocks from time to time.

He raised his shoulders, carried the fur rolls on his shoulders higher and tied them more firmly.

"Going to dance again?" Ye Weiliao asked, bouncing on his shoulder.

"En." Before Feng Pingping's voice fell, he took a step and jumped out, rushed down the steep grass slope for a few steps, jumped up in the air, landed on a rock, borrowed a little force, and then went down another place He jumped over the mountain rock, went up and down several times in succession, and finally fell to the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, rolled twice, sat down, and slid down several feet.

Ye Weiliao was bound by him and could only roll along with him, yelling all the way down the mountain until he fainted, shouting to stop, calling him to untie, it was useless.After finally rolling to the foot of the mountain, he shook his head and said dumbfoundedly: "You have to jump off the cliff every time you go in and out of the mountain, and hide in such a ghostly place. No wonder I can't find it for so many years!"

Feng Pingping sat and took a breath, put the leather rope on his shoulders again, stood up, and walked towards the mountain forest at a slower pace, and said: "There is a better mountain road, and it takes a long time to go around. People look for it along the road and enter the mountain, or take a shortcut."

"Thank you for your hard work, are you tired?" Ye Weiliao smiled, noticing that his footsteps had slowed down.

"I..." Feng Pingping raised his head and looked forward, the stream on the far side of the forest made a bend, and there was a gravel beach on the bank.Behind the beach and in front of the forest, there is a house made of earth and rocks.He walked more slowly, squinted his eyes, and then said in a deep voice, "We're almost there."

"Are you really going to see Tan Zhonglu? Why don't you let me go first? If you tie me up like this, if she wants to kill me, I won't be able to run away."

"It's not that I don't want to believe you," Feng Pingping still answered irrelevant questions, paused, rationalized his words, and continued, "I don't remember your name, the scars on your body, those things you said about me when I was a child." I don't remember many things, I don't even remember your appearance. I saw you before, and I can't remember anything in my mind. "

"You were still young when we separated, so I don't blame you."

"When my uncle took me away, all I could think about was you, thinking about you desperately, thinking about why you didn't come to save me. Thinking about it too much made it blurry, and I gradually couldn't remember what you look like That's it."

"Sixth day..."

"I kept arguing that I don't want my uncle, I want you. Later, my uncle brought back a boy who was the same age as you and looked very similar to you. The uncle asked him to say that he was 'Junior Five', and he was still in his I put a palm print on my waist, coaxing me to believe that he is you. He really looks like you. He cried in pain, so I stayed with him and comforted him. We gradually got to know each other, and one day my uncle handed him a Take a knife and tell him he can go home if he kills me."

"This crazy woman..."

"He was older than me and stronger than me. It was very difficult for me to kill him. After that, my uncle successively arrested several people who were somewhat similar to you, and pretended to be you to lie to me, telling the truth about you Call me 'Junior Sixth', and then come to kill me. I can't remember what you are like, your name, your scar, your things, are they real or they made it up to fool me Yes... I killed them all. I remember that when I killed the last one, I hadn't finished hearing him call "Junior Six". I tore off his clothes and looked hard, but there were no palm prints. Later, my uncle saw that I had killed him simply, and didn't call for you again, so he stopped doing this. Sometimes I think, even if the last one is not you, Maybe one of the few who died before was really you, I have already killed you, so you will not come to me again."

"The sixth day." Ye Weiliao called softly.

"It's not that I don't want to believe you, I can't believe it." Feng Pingping stopped by the forest, looked at the houses not far away, and said, "I'll bring you to my uncle, she will kill you, I will protect you. If she lets If you kill me, I will still kill you."
