hillside stick with peanuts

In the blue sky, there are a few white clouds.

Xiao You was lying on the green shaded ground, taking a nap with his eyes closed, the early winter sun was shining on his face, the familiar scene inevitably reminded him of the days in Xiaping Village and that boy, surrounded by three emotions: love, guilt and unwillingness for two years.

They haven't been in touch for two years, maybe he has already married and had children, living a life of sunrise and sunset, living a happy life of family reunion, contentment in poverty, and willingness in hardship.

It's been three years, what was the plan he had in mind? ——"Get a fortune and run away", which has never been realized.

He wanted to go back and have a look more than once.

A year ago, on the way back, he was caught by that man and grounded for a month as punishment. Everyone thought that Young Master Xiao was struggling to find inspiration during the bottleneck period.

One day in that month, the man rode on him and took off his clothes and insisted on having sex with him. He loved Xiao Min, but he was ashamed of Xiao Min, and refused to live or die. The man was so angry that he gritted his teeth and forced Prescribing medicine for him and actively exercising on him, even though Xiao You's willpower is amazing, he is no match for that man's so-called secret medicine.

Because Xiao You could feel the pleasure from the secret medicine, he scolded his younger brother in his heart for not being up to date, and if he wanted sex, he had to leave it to Xiao Min. He simply kept the idea of ​​psychological impotence and passed it in a daze.

"Are you satisfied now?" Xiao You immediately got up and put on his clothes after the effect of the medicine wore off, looked at him who was still naked, and asked him in a helpless tone.

The man nodded, "But I still won't let you go, I know, it's even more impossible for me to use this method to get your sincerity, and I also know that you want to kill me, but I really can't do anything, so you understand Take a look at the feeling that I can't get it." The long paragraph is light and light, not as threatening as the content.

"I can escape."

"False words."

"..."

Who is "that person"?Dayu's youngest Minister of the Ministry of Officials also served as the prince and Taifu - Feng Xin, who was only 17 years old. The number one scholar at the age of [-], has accumulated a lot of political achievements, wrote down a few pages, and was reused by the Holy One.

And Xiao You doesn't say that he is not as experienced as he is, but he is far behind in people's knowledge. How can he compare with it.

The friendship between such a high-ranking and powerful person and Xiao You is nothing more than that pastoral joy, a poem that is written and written now, so it is so easy to be targeted...

Shaking his head and recalling the memories, he slapped himself twice, and went back to the yard to make money by painting and writing poems.

"Hey, you hit yourself again, my lord." The boy, A Ming, stepped forward to meet him.

"Whatever. Take the pen and ink for painting, I'm inspired."

At dusk, the reddish sky, the floating fire clouds.In the setting sun of autumn, maple leaves scattered and fell on the gravel road. Two teenagers stepped on the autumn leaves and pebbles on the gravel road. You chased each other, and no one would be outdone.

It was such a scene that came alive on paper.

Tch, why am I being so lyrical as a time traveler?

"The painting is on sale! Don't miss it when you pass by!" The young man yelled vigorously, attracting the attention of the few passers-by, but no one dared to step forward.

Xiao You coughed, "Forget it, I can't sell it if he has a word."

Then you let me yell qwq for a long time, Ah Ming squeezed his throat to express that he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Let's go, let's buy peanut sticks and eat them."

Ah Ming twitched the corners of his mouth, put the painting away, and said in a low voice, "It's peanut sticky again...can't we change it to candied fruit or something?"

Xiao You, who was walking in front, was stunned for a few seconds, "Is it up to you or me? It's good to have something to eat."

·

"Father, mother, I want to go to him and make it clear." Zhang Ming said in a low voice with a sore nose.

"We have no objection, you take the money, don't refuse. Go..."

Zhang Huan took the money and stuffed it into the burden, carried it on his back, kowtowed three times to the weeping Aunt Li and Zhang Tiedong, and said, "Father, mother, forgive me for being unfilial. You must respect your parents’ words.”

Zhang Tiedong lived around Aunt Li, so don't turn your head into the house.

"Go, you must come back."

At that time, the Zhang family couple didn't know that Zhang Huan did come back, but what came back was a pile of bones. Otherwise, Zhang Huan's father would rather break Zhang Huan's legs and force him to marry than to allow Zhang Huan to leave.

On the day Zhang Huan left, notices were posted everywhere in the government office, and the content of the notice was roughly that the mountain roads around the official road in Zhongli County have not been peaceful recently, and there are often bandits and robbers blocking the road and robbing and killing people. Don't go near the official road, just take a detour.

However, the sad thing is that Zhang Huan left in a hurry and happened to miss the notice posting. He was not the only one who was unlucky.

"I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, you will leave your life and wealth." Said the bandit leader.

Zhang Huan and his party are all honest people from the neighboring villages in the mountains. Except for Zhang Huan, the others went down the mountain this time just to dig some valuable herbs and want to earn some money to subsidize their families. Don't mention how aggrieved this is, everyone is dissatisfied and wants to resist.

Seeing that they hadn't been frightened, the bandit leader was also furious, and shouted "Come on!!"

The bandits rushed towards Zhang Huan and the others yelling with big knives, but Zhang Huan and the others had no weapons at all, and forced a stick of incense with their unskilled fists.

Two fists are no match for four hands, let alone a knife.

The balance of victory is still biased towards the dominant side.

The dead and injured of Zhang Huan and his party, Zhang Huan fell to the ground, watching the bandits snatch their bags and scattered the contents on the ground. There were only clothes and supplies in each bag, not a single valuable thing .

People who kept their breath like Zhang Huan stared in surprise, and then turned to joy. They didn't use what they got with their hands, and they couldn't make it cheaper for others.

"Boss, there is not a single valuable item!" The bandit boy covered his face and curled his lips, "Brothers, you have been busy for so long."

The bandit leader was furious, "Damn it! Damn it, let me kill those people! You can't hurt our brother for nothing!"

"Yes!"

The bandit leader looked around dejectedly, lowered his head, and just saw Zhang Huan on the ground grinning, so he knew it was his fault. He walked over and stepped on Zhang Huan's head, "Damn it's you, didn't you?" !?"

Zhang Huan was in pain and kept silent.

"Don't talk, right? You fucking don't talk anymore!" The bandit leader grabbed Zhang Huan by the hair and grabbed him. After a while, I felt unsatisfied, and punched Zhang Huan on the face and chest one after another, "Just now you hit my brother the hardest, and a big knife can't cure you, right?"

Seeing that he still didn't speak, the bandit leader sneered and pulled out the long knife at his waist, which looked even more sinister under the moonlight. "Hey, this is the treasured sword handed down from my family, you are so damn lucky."

"Bullshit luck..."

"Hey, are you willing to speak at this time?" The bandit leader stabbed Zhang Huan with a long knife, and Zhang Huan spit out a mouthful of blood.One knife after another was vented on Zhang Huan, and even the bandit leader didn't know how long he stabbed him.

The group of people who had gathered around to light a fire, eat wild game and chat was all gone.

Zhang Huanhe's last thought was his brother Xiao You.

"Boss, you are really ruthless this time."

The bandit leader snorted, "It's kind of us to leave their bodies."

A group of bandits gradually dispersed, but the faint smell of blood in the air refused to leave for a long time.

·

In just over a dozen days, many funerals and mournings abounded.

Luo Fangfang was really unwilling to make Xiao You feel better, so she asked Li Ren, the only husband she could trust, to go to the capital to deliver the letter in person.

As Xiao You's confidant, Li Ren agreed to his wife and hurried to the capital after Zhang Huan's burial.

"That's Li Ren?" Xiao You looked in disbelief at Li Ren who was gobbling up in the chaotic shop.

Why did Li Ren come to the capital?An ominous premonition rose in Xiao You's heart.

In order not to startle the snake, Xiao You pretended not to bring any money, and asked the servant, A Ming, to go back to get the money bag to buy peanut sticks, and he carefully followed behind Li Ren, who had eaten well and looked satisfied.Walking to a small alley, Li Ren suddenly ran into the small alley quickly, Xiao You also ran two steps, and shouted: "It's done!"

"Xiao You...it's really not easy to find you."

Li Ren told Xiao You everything about the village and Zhang Huan in three years.

During this period, Xiao You didn't say a word, and listened with sobs.Li Ren finished speaking and sighed.

Later, I don't know what kind of trick Xiao You used, but he didn't alarm Feng Xin at all, and quietly returned to his hometown with Li Ren.

Li Ren spent so many days looking for Xiao You, enough for many things to happen.Zhang Tiedong, Aunt Li, Xiao Dajian, Luo Fangfang, and Xiao You were tense like a three-party meeting.

Zhang Tiedong closed his eyes and remained silent, Aunt Li and Luo Fangfang were talking in low voices, Xiao Dajian's face was disheveled, and everyone had different expressions.

Xiao You smiled wryly, why does everyone know?

I don't know what they talked about, but the next day, Xiao You brought a bag of peanuts and a bunch of flowers to Zhang Ming's cemetery.

Zhang Huan's grave was built on a small hillside and was covered by a lush tree. Xiao You was in a complicated mood. It can be said that he was the chief culprit of Zhang Huan's death. Zhang Huan died because of him. It's all his fault, but maybe it's more about guilt, maybe he doesn't love Zhang Huan that much, it's all an excuse to make Caring better, what he has been doing is just satisfying his vanity; he can only use this Instilling this idea in himself, he was afraid that he would not be able to make up his mind.

With a sore nose, he stretched out his hand to touch the tombstone, and it was cold.

Xiao You was so dazed that he kept stuffing peanut sticks into his mouth, knowing that the whole bag was stuffed for fun, and the crumbs stuck to the corners of his mouth, making him very embarrassed. "It's so greasy...it's really unpalatable." But he likes it.

I'm so disgusted.

Xiao You killed himself in front of Zhang Huan's tomb.
