The He Family Brother of Farming

On the road in winter, the surroundings are quiet, except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, or the occasional frightened winter birds burrowing into the grass and leaves, but fortunately, compared with the north, there are only tree trunks in winter in the south. As far as the branches are concerned, the ones here are still a little green.

But it gets dark quickly in winter, and even the daytime is almost dark.

Maybe it just rained last night and this morning. Puddles can be seen everywhere on the bumpy road, and some places are also muddy. The cold wind blows, and it is full of moisture, and the grass leaves and branches hang down on both sides of the road. Just like a drizzle of water drops.

The top of the mountain in the distance has been covered by thick white fog, and even the bottom of the mountain is slowly being invaded, gradually becoming hazy, and only when the wind blows can there be a brief moment of clarity.

A late-returning winter bird stood on a thin branch, tremblingly combing some of its feathers wet with fog. The branch swayed with the wind, but it still stood firmly and swayed along with it.

It was concentrating on combing, when suddenly its head froze, its two small black eyes stared at the road on the lower left, its thin claws also moved to the side, and its wings flapped slightly, flying up at any time. posture.

But after looking at it for a while, there seemed to be no movement, so I lowered my head to comb the fine hair under the wings twice, then raised my head to look left and right, then continued to lower my head, after repeating this several times, suddenly stood still Then he spread his wings and kicked his thin claws, skimmed the road and stopped on a tall branch below the road, his eyes continued to stare at the turning point of the road above.

well deserved...

In the mist, the sound of uniform hooves stepping on the ground came from far and near, and after a while, it finally appeared from the turning of the road.

A maroon horse came slowly, perhaps because it had traveled a long distance, and looked a little tired, but the owner did not urge it now, and let it walk slowly, so it walked a little loosely, It's easy.

Ye Lin looked down at He He who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and carefully closed the cloak to prevent the cold wind from blowing to him, and tried not to let the mist disturb him, then he looked up again.

Looking at these familiar and unfamiliar roads, Ye Lin suddenly felt a little homely and timid. It happened that in order to go home early, he was driving almost non-stop during the day, and both people and horses were a little tired. .

Originally, he planned to stop in the town for a day before coming back, but the people in his arms might really be homesick too, so he said he had to go home and rest, so they appeared here at this time.

Maybe it's because of the white mist, although it is slowly spreading, but the sky has become a little brighter, and there is no need to worry about it getting dark so quickly.

Ye Lin suddenly frowned slightly, stared straight ahead with his sharp eyes, and grabbed the rein with his left hand to stop the horse.

That horse is also spiritual. When I walked before, it always walked on flat ground, and it never stepped into potholes, so Ye Lin let it move.Now, as soon as the reins were pulled, he stopped immediately, raised his head vigilantly, looked straight ahead like its owner, and raised its front right hoof slightly, ready to run at any time.

As soon as the sound of hoofbeats stopped, the surrounding area became quiet again.

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the road ahead. There was a tall pine tree there. He leaned back to let He He lean on him. Then he took the bow with his right hand, and slowly drew out an arrow with his left hand to put it on the bowstring. After a while, he quickly shot an arrow towards the root of the pine tree.

There was a soft bang, apparently shot into the flesh of something, followed by the animal's wail.

"drive--"

After shooting that arrow, Ye Lin grabbed He He in his arms with one hand, and shook the rein with the other hand, shouting loudly, and the horse galloped away swiftly.

The bay red horse had just galloped past under the pine tree, and the wind it brought up swept up the fog and temporarily lifted up the white fog at that place, revealing some yellow, white and black spots under the tree roots, and yellow eyes. Mou kept looking at the direction where the horse was going away, and it took a long time before he lowered his head and bit his dead rival as prey, and limped into the grass.

……

"what happened?"

He He, who was jolted awake by the sudden running of the horse, asked in a confused voice, and Ye Lin, who was looking down at him, relaxed slightly when he heard the voice, and then replied: "It's nothing, I see that it's getting dark soon." Let it hurry up, do you still want to sleep?"

He He moved to make himself sit more comfortably. Sitting sideways like this is not very comfortable, but he didn't object any more when he heard Ye Lin's words, "I've slept enough, if I sleep again tonight, I'll be fine." It's time to sleep."

"Hiss—" He poked his head out to see the surrounding scenery, whether he was going home, but he took a deep breath of mist, couldn't help but shrank back with a hiss.

"Don't move."

"How could there be such a heavy fog?" He He was prepared this time, carefully lifted his cloak, and asked in surprise as he watched the scene flashing by outside.

"It won't rain, will it? How far are we?"

Although Ye Lin has been letting the horse run, he has been paying attention to the movement behind him, and only focuses on the road ahead when he is sure that there is nothing following him.

The horse jumped over a relatively large puddle. He hurriedly hugged the person in his arms to prevent him from being too bumpy. He waited until the road was relatively smooth before replying: "It won't fall for the time being, but this fog is also the same as that of the rainwater." It's almost raining, don't come out, lest your hair get wet later."

"Let me sit by myself, and you will be tired later."

"it is good."

He He lightly patted the hands around his waist and proposed, Ye Lin looked around and saw that there was still some distance to go, so he agreed, and without stopping the horse after a little thought, he directly hugged his waist and lifted it up for him He changed positions, and wrapped the man tightly with the cloak again.

"you……"

He He blushed, and the person moved, can you change to a more natural posture?

"Don't move, we will be there soon, Songpo is ahead."

I don't know if it was because of the high speed, Ye Lin's voice didn't sound very clear, but He He really didn't dare to move.

……

When the two arrived at the entrance of the village, the sky finally darkened.

The village was also shrouded in white mist. Sitting on the horseback, I could only see the vague shadows of some houses, and it was even more difficult to see clearly at night.

Finally came back.

Ye Lin pulled the reins, let the horse stop at the entrance of the village, and looked at the village quietly, with unconcealable excitement in his eyes, and a little complicated heart.

"arrive?"

Seeing that he didn't move for a while, He He also waited for a while before asking, and then pulled the cloak around his head to look out.

"Well, we're here." Ye Lin didn't stop him this time, but replied in a deep voice, "Xiaohe, I'm back."

He He looked up and saw that he was also looking down at him, so he raised the corners of his lips and said softly, "Linzi, welcome home."

Ye Lin stared at him for a while, lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the forehead, then hugged him tightly, and replied in a low voice: "I'm back."

He He buried his face in front of his chest, the smile on his lips grew bigger and bigger, and he hugged him tightly with both hands.

The man really is finally back.

The two hugged quietly for a while, and Ye Lin looked up at the lights of every house in the village, and the mist gradually drifted down with drizzle, so he let go a little bit, "Let's go home first, let's go home first." It's raining."

"it is good."

He He didn't move, and continued to lean against his chest. Anyway, it was dark at this time, and it was very cold, and almost no one in the village came out to walk around, so let him be a little reckless.

Roar--

Just as Ye Lin was about to pull the reins and prepare to move forward, a distant roar suddenly came from a distant mountain. Passing through layers of forests on top of mountains, the sound sounded unreal, but it still made people under him The horse was a little frightened, it walked around a few times uneasily, shook its head, and snorted a few times.

The lights in the village were also extinguished one after another, apparently hearing the sound, and the dog owner only barked once and then became silent again.He He also raised his head from Ye Lin's arms and listened carefully, but unfortunately he couldn't tell where it was coming from.

"Why is there still a tiger roaring at this time?"

"I guess I came out to find something to eat. Are you hungry? We'll go too."

"Okay. I don't know if mother and the others have left any food?"

"Then we must hurry."

Ye Lin originally wanted to walk directly from the middle of the village, but now that the tiger made a movement, he simply changed direction and walked the road behind, so as to avoid the villagers.

……

In winter, people in the village usually have dinner early, and they will start to rest when it gets dark.

The same is true for He Er's family, but there is a little accident today.

Zhang Xiaoxi's belly is already big, which may be the reason for the first time. Now the whole family is a little worried about this child, as long as he feels a little uncomfortable, he will get nervous, so now that his belly is getting bigger and bigger, the He family is almost out of control. Let him do what, just like when Zhang Lian was pregnant with He Rui.

Xiaoxi felt a little uncomfortable today, so the He family ate dinner a little late. When the roar sounded, they had just cleaned up the dishes, and He Tian was about to help Xiaoxi back to the house. Suddenly he yelled sharply, but it only yelled twice before it died down again.

He Tian listened carefully, then turned to He Er and said, "How can there be a big cat meowing in this cold weather?"

He Er shook his head and waved his hand to signal them to go back to rest: "No matter why it calls, your Uncle Ye is still at home now, and no one in the village ran into the mountains randomly, so it definitely won't run out."

"Okay, don't worry about this, take Xiaoxi back to the house, the child's face is pale." Zhang Lian also persuaded, while busy helping He Rui wipe her face and wash her hands, "I was already in your room before. After burning the charcoal, remember to add some later when you go back, so as not to let the creek freeze."

"Got it, mother."

"Thank you ma'am."

"You child is too polite, go back and rest early."

"Good night, big brother and sister-in-law." He Rui tried her best to poke her head out of her mother's hands and shouted loudly to the two people at the door. Her second brother taught her this.

Xiaoxi also smiled at her and said: "Good night, Ruier, parents, you should go to bed earlier."

Little He Rui stared at his stomach and added: "Good night, little brother."

Her words aroused everyone's laughter, Zhang Lian nodded her forehead and said angrily: "How many times have I said, that is a nephew, not a younger brother."

Little He Rui tilted her head and didn't understand. Fortunately, Zhang Lian said that she didn't really care about it. Anyway, when the child grows up, he will naturally understand.

Turning around, I was about to continue to tell the eldest son and the others, but the family Tuantuan suddenly barked again, but this time the barking was a little different, as if feeling a little excited, Tuantuan had already rushed out of its nest, and kept on crying. Turning around at the gate of the courtyard, he straightened up and tried to open the door, his tail almost fell off.

The He family looked at each other, stunned for a while, and suddenly had an uncertain idea in their hearts.

Is it...

At this time, there seemed to be the sound of horseshoes outside, and it was coming towards their house.

Hooves? ?

He Tianhe and his father and son looked at each other again, just as Zhang Lian also walked to the door, He Tian let Xiaoxi lean against the door, and ran out of the yard quickly, towards the gate.

The ones who will come to their house at this time are Malays, and probably only Xiao He from their family.
