Rebirth to the pastoral

"So, you plan to stay in the village in the future?"

After Cheng Xiaoran said his plan, the Cheng family was silent, Cheng's mother was crying silently, and Cheng's father smoked several hookahs before opening his mouth.

Cheng Xiaoran always had a faint smile on his face: "This is the current plan, Dad, don't worry, even if I stay in the village, I can still live a good life, and what's wrong with our village, there are mountains and mountains. Water, at first glance, is a treasure land of geomantic omen for raising people."

Cheng's father glanced at him, stood up slowly, Cheng Xiaoran hurried to help him, Cheng's father said to Cheng's mother: "Let's cook, we two have a good conversation."

In the Cheng family, Cheng's father is the absolute head of the family. Even if Cheng's mother wanted to ask about Cheng Xiaoran's illness, she got up quickly after hearing this: "There is chicken stewed on the stove. Just stew the rice and stir-fry the vegetables." If you can eat, don't go far."

Cheng Xiaoran helped Cheng's father go out, and walked slowly to the foot of the mountain, Cheng's father suddenly asked: "Tell me honestly, is the headache an excuse for you, do you have other reasons for having to suspend school?"

Cheng Xiaoran was taken aback, he knew that Cheng's father was not easy to fool, whether it was what he felt after he came back, or the memory of the original owner, this is an old man who has gone through a lot of adventures, he has a different ignorance than a person who has been confined in the mountains all his life He is dull and dull, his eyes are sharp, he speaks and does things calmly, and he is a person who has experienced things.

However, what shocked him even more was that Cheng's father lowered his voice and asked again: "Xiao Er, tell me honestly, do you... have it in your stomach?"

Although he also intends to confess this matter to Cheng's father, but being told so directly, it is obvious that the matter is not as simple as he thought, Cheng Xiaoran slowly calmed down, nodded: "Dad, you already knew about me. Have such a physique?"

"Sure enough!" Cheng's father's eyes fell on his stomach, his hands trembled, his eyes were wet, a little frightened, and a little surprised: "This day is still here, still here... ...I didn't expect it, it's been years..."

Cheng Xiaoran hurriedly held his hand: "Dad, don't get too excited." Cheng's father held his hand instead: "Tell me first, whose child is this? Does that person know about it? Are you still talking to me?" Who said that?"

Cheng Xiaoran was silent for a moment: "I don't know who the other party is. It was just an accident. I didn't tell anyone when I found out. I was afraid that my classmates would find out, so I came back immediately."

Cheng's father nodded again and again: "You did the right thing, you did the right thing, if this matter is not handled properly, it will lead to death." He looked at Cheng Xiaoran's face, gritted his teeth, as if he had made some decision, "You follow me."

Cheng's father leaned on crutches and walked towards the south eagerly. Cheng Xiaoran hurriedly supported his arm. He was full of confusion, but he didn't rush to ask. The road leading to the south is a mountain depression. Cheng's father pointed at it from afar. Zuo Shan: "That's Da Zhou Mountain, your ninth grandfather lives on it, do you remember him?"

Grandpa Nine, the former village head, resigned from his position as village head because of the failure to get rich with watermelons, and has been living in seclusion on Dazhou Mountain, living a very poor life. In the memory of the original owner, the people of Yinghua Village treated this Jiu Grandpa complained a lot, because Cherry Blossom Village should have had a chance to take off 20 years ago, but Grandpa Ninth kicked out the leader who wanted to develop Cherry Blossom Village at that time, and caused the leader to fall The right hand was broken, and the young leader had a deep background. Since then, Yinghua Village has been blacklisted by the other family. The surrounding villages have basically developed, but Yinghua Village has been suppressed. However, when we arrived at Yinghua Village, the application for road construction was repeatedly suppressed. Water and electricity were the last to enter the village, and various subsidies were always delayed. Can't get it at all.

It is precisely because of this that Grandpa Ninth desperately tried to make a way out of watermelons, but failed miserably. After that, Grandpa Ninth withdrew, but the last bit of money in Yinghua Village was thrown into the watermelon field, and the village was completely defeated. Even if the village head has three heads and six arms, there is nothing he can do. Everyone complains about Grandpa Jiu and doesn't want to associate with him, but now, according to Cheng's father, he often comes to visit and help Grandpa Jiu.

The two walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the foot of Dazhou Mountain. Only then did Cheng Xiaoran realize that Dazhou Mountain is not like other mountains in Yinghua Village. Everything here is well organized, without barren weeds and bare cherries. The trees are also arranged in a very regular way, as if they were planted artificially, and the branches were obviously pruned with care.A gravel mountain road winds up, and at the end is a wooden house. In the open space in front of the wooden house, there are poles for drying clothes, small stone mills, wooden tables and chairs, a large pile of firewood covered with thatch, and bamboo strips. Unknown dried vegetables were drying in the sun, and there was a long vegetable field on the hillside, and a thin old man squatted in the vegetable field and tended it.

"Uncle Ninth!" Grandpa Ninth was a little deaf, Father Cheng yelled loudly twice before he heard it, and turned around slowly: "Old~ Si, why are you here?" Grandpa Ninth spoke with a characteristic, It's just that the first sound of every sentence will always be prolonged, with a little tremolo, giving people a feeling that they will die at any time. In addition, he is old and his voice is dry and hoarse, which sounds a little harsh.

He stood up unsteadily, and under Cheng's father's signal, Cheng Xiaoran quickly went to help the old man. Ninth Grandpa looked at Cheng Xiaoran with relief: "You~are the son of the fourth family? You are already so old, come back ~Come? It’s good to come back~, it’s not so good outside~.”

Suddenly his gaze changed, and he grabbed Cheng Xiaoran's arm tremblingly, with such strength that Cheng Xiaoran felt a little painful: "You, you, fourth child, what's going on?" Once excited, he spoke in a special way Shunliu, Cheng's father nodded: "The child has it in his stomach, and I brought him here to show you for this reason. Xiao Ran, Grandpa Ninth is not the oldest in the village, but he knows the most. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask." You can ask him, let’s sit down here and have a good talk.”

Cheng Xiaoran looked at the excited Ninth Grandpa, and his eyes were obviously more joyful than surprised. His pregnancy seemed to be a good thing in the eyes of the two elders, and there was nothing incomprehensible. Then why did the original owner throw himself into the river?He was silent, and gradually understood many things in the two people's narration.

The ancestors of this Sakura Village were actually a tribe different from ordinary people from the very beginning. The most primitive clan name has been lost in the long history, and everyone called themselves Changyi people according to the handed down sound, Changyi There have always been more men than women in the clan, and the fertility of men is stronger than that of women, and the offspring they give birth to are also better and stronger.

However, the domestic environment was chaotic at that time, the clan land of the Changyi people was invaded, and the secrets of the clan were known to outsiders and slaughtered as aliens. As a last resort, the entire clan was scattered and fled, most of them went overseas, and some went abroad. They went to the south of the country, and some went to the west. The number of people who came to Yinghua Village was small, no more than two to three hundred people. They were worried that the target was too obvious, so they fled with a group of refugees and came to this almost isolated village. Yinghua Village, Yinghua Village was not called Yinghua Village at that time, and there were no cherry blossoms. It was a very closed and primitive valley. Because it was closed, it was safe, and the first generation settled down like this.

After that, many men in the clan still gave birth to children one after another for many years. Although they lived with many outsiders, they still kept it very secret. No one found the problem, but soon, fatal troubles appeared.

Because they fled too hastily, they were single and weak, and they didn't bring out many secret medicines from the clan. When the last secret medicine was used up, the children born after that would become weak because they didn't have a bath with the medicine. Very weak, sick repeatedly, a small illness can easily lead to premature death, and the adult clansman also has no medicine to regulate the body, it becomes very difficult to conceive, more premature deaths, fewer births, and as time goes by, the clansmen will be fewer and fewer from generation to generation. In the end, there were only twelve families left. Everyone felt that they had an unparalleled destiny. They became brothers and supported each other. Among them, the three most capable brothers left their wives and children to other brothers to take care of, and went out to find the overseas one. The big clan, got the secret medicine, so that his branch can continue.

"But, they didn't come back." Ninth Grandfather sighed. His grandfather was the only one who went out. He was already sensible at the time, so he still had some impressions. But who knows if you really can't come back?

"After so many years, some of the twelve families have really lost their heirs, and some have moved out to live a normal life. Those who moved out have no good news to come back, while those who stayed in the village, only The remaining four households are your ninth grandfather, uncle, second uncle, and our family, and there have been no children for many years. We originally thought that when our generation died, the branch of Yinghua Village would be completely extinct." Cheng's father said solemnly, "Xiao Ran, what happened to you is completely unexpected. This is a good thing, but it's also a bad thing. Have you... thought it through?"

The good thing is that the first newborn in so many years is of great significance, and even has the hope of continuing their branch, but the bad thing is that Cheng Xiaoran was in poor health when he was a child. Whether this child can be born safely is still a problem. Most of the time, he is also weak and sick. When the Cheng family's wealth is squandered on him, Cheng Xiaoran's life will be very difficult. He is still so young... Will he spend his whole life on this child?

Finally, take a step back and say that their people have always been persecuted, and they are alien existences to most people in this world. This road will obviously be very difficult. Their generation is old and is about to be buried. He can't take care of Cheng Xiaoran for a long time, and he will be left alone in the future, can he hold on?
