Concentricity

Brother Xu let out a long cry and swooped down from the air, startling the lingering love between the two of them.Mo Jinyan was startled, straightened up from Yu Simian's arms, and stretched out his arms: "Brother Xu, come!"

Brother Xu slid a beautiful arc in the air and landed firmly on Mo Jinyan's arm.Mo Jinyan brought it into his arms, stroked its feathers that had been blown a little messy by the wind, and rubbed Brother Xu's head affectionately with his cheek.

Seeing Yu Simian envious.Naturally, he was not envious that Mo Jinyan had Brother Xu, but that Brother Xu could get Mo Jinyan's unabashed intimacy.

"How did this eagle come about?" Yu Simian asked casually.

"I picked it up when I went hunting in Fushan the year before last. At that time, Brother Xu just learned to fly and broke his wing. I picked it up." Mo Jinyan recalled the situation when he first picked up Brother Xu. At that time, he even scratched his hand several times. Who knew that he would become his partner in the future, "At that time, it was very fierce. When I boiled it, I thought it had failed. It was rescued by its mother, but somehow it came back by itself."

"Life always rewards those who work hard." Yu Simian concluded with a smile.

Mo Jinyan tilted his head, thought for a while, and smiled knowingly.

After a while, Brother Xu broke away from Mo Jinyan's embrace, flapped his wings and flew away.

"Where does it go?" Yu Simian asked.

Mo Jinyan's gaze followed Brother Xu's figure, it didn't fly away, but hovered in the sky, as if waiting for something. "Should be ready to hunt."

Before he finished speaking, Brother Xu roared down and disappeared behind the hill. After a while, Brother Xu flew up, but caught something gray in his claws.

Yu Simian asked enthusiastically, "Is it a mouse?"

Mo Jinyan looked at it for a while: "It should be a rabbit."

Brother Xu quickly flew towards them, loosened his claws high above their heads, and the thing fell.

Yu Simian reined in the horse: "I'll go down and have a look, you're waiting for me right now."

He ran over to have a look, picked it up and said loudly to Mo Jinyan: "It really is a rabbit, and it is very fat. Brother Xu is really amazing."

Brother Xu fell back onto Mo Jinyan's arm, climbed onto his shoulders and began to comb his feathers. He didn't mind him picking up his prey, probably because he knew that he and his master had a good relationship and did not distinguish between each other.

Yu Simian came back with the rabbit, got on the horse again, and showed the rabbit to Mo Jinyan: "It weighs three to four catties, and I will roast it later. The rabbit you roasted last time was really delicious." He remembered the time when they met again on Nantai Island scene.

Chen Pingsheng caught up from behind on his horse. Although he was riding alone, he had to be careful not to damage the sacrificial porcelain plates, so he walked slower than the two of them.

"Why didn't you leave?" Chen Pingsheng asked.

Mo Jinyan smiled and said, "Wait for Brother Chen. Brother Xu caught a fat rabbit just now, and Brother Yu said to roast the rabbit later."

Chen Pingsheng laughed: "Okay, it's just that there are only a few. Our four mouths are not enough to eat."

Yu Simian smiled and said, "It's okay, we'll hunt a few more later."

It was only then that Mo Jinyan noticed that Yu Simian was still carrying the Zhe wood bow on his back, and he was only to blame for being absent-minded and not noticing.

After resting and walking along the way, I finally arrived at the place.Chen Pingsheng carried a food box and crossed the river to sacrifice to his family.Yu Simian led two horses, and followed Mo Jinyan, through the devastated deserted village, towards the back mountain full of tombs.

Yu Simian walked two steps faster, reached out and grabbed Mo Jinyan's free hand, Mo Jinyan glanced at him, but didn't break away.Right now, he needs some support and warmth.Fortunately, when I walked this mountain road again today, I was accompanied by the person I most hoped for.

During the winter solstice this year, he was building a ship on Nantai Island, and he didn't have time to come back to worship, so he came to worship on New Year's Eve.

When Mo Jinyan sacrificed to his parents, Yu Simian also knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times.Although Mo Jinyan found it strange, he didn't ask any more questions, and he also had his own selfish motives, hoping that Yu Simian and himself would not be separated from each other.

After paying homage to the Mo family, Yu Simian supported Mo Jinyan, put away his things, and led him to the other end of the cemetery, and finally stopped in front of Nie Shiweng's grave.

Mo Jinyan was extremely surprised: "Brother Yu, how do you know that Nie Shiweng is buried here?"

Yu Simian smiled bitterly: "When I came back from Jianning, I visited it once."

Mo Jinyan suddenly understood that he was here to find Nie Shiweng and his own grave.

Yu Simian put the three sacrifices on the sacrifice, poured wine, lighted paper money and incense, knelt on Nie Shiweng's grave, and respectfully kowtowed three times: "Shiweng, you must be alive in the sky, bless Yan'er to turn evil into good fortune, let us Thank you for being able to meet again. I will definitely take good care of Yan'er and won't let him suffer any more grievances. Miss Yun's whereabouts are unknown, don't worry, I will find a way to find her whereabouts. If she is alive, I will bring her back; Gone...I will also bury her by your side."

Mo Jinyan knelt aside and listened, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears.

Yu Simian stretched out his hand, grabbed Mo Jinyan's hand, looked up at him, and gave him a warm smile.

Mo Jinyan also wanted to smile back, but his tears didn't stop and rolled down automatically.

Yu Simian stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on his face: "Silly boy, you should be happy to celebrate the New Year today. Shi Weng, don't you think so? We are leaving, and you must bless Yan'er all year round. Let's find Miss Yun's whereabouts as soon as possible." As he spoke, he poured all the wine in the jug onto the grave.

Coming down the mountain, the two waited for Chen Pingsheng under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.This big tree was originally Mo Jinyan's playground in his childhood, and people often rested and chatted here. It was full of moss and weeds, and the fruit of the banyan tree was rotten, and a thick layer of black mud had accumulated, showing a desolate and desolate atmosphere.

The big bronze bell on the banyan tree has disappeared, leaving a deep dent in the position of the wall clock.Mo Jinyan turned his face to the outside of the village. He couldn't bear to face the unrecognizable village. This was his childhood paradise, but now it has become a huge tomb, burying the past of a village, and dozens of others. wronged soul.

"There is a rabbit there." Yu Simian suddenly called out, "Xiao Mo, do you want to hit it?"

Mo Jinyan turned his head, Yu Simian pointed to him: "It's there, just hid in." It turned out to be behind a broken wall.

Mo Jinyan shook his head: "It still doesn't work, go somewhere else."

Yu Simian nodded: "Okay." He seemed to understand that even though it was just a hare, Xiao Mo was willing to treat it as a creature of his neighbors.

Brother Xu went outside for a walk, and came back chirping, alarming a lot of hares, at least four or five.Since the accident happened here, no one is willing to come here anymore, and it has become a paradise for little creatures.

Brother Xu fell on Mo Jinyan's arm, and he reached out to touch its food pouch, and said, "Brother Xu is full."

Yu Simian smiled and said, "Brother Xu still knows how to take care of himself, and the Chinese New Year is here early."

Mo Jinyan finally laughed, and turned around to see Chen Pingsheng coming: "Brother Chen is back, let's find a place to hunt some wild animals and fill our stomachs too."

"Then go to the hill on the way when we came, there should be a lot of wild animals." Yu Simian suggested.

The three got on their horses, returned the same way, and stopped in front of a low mountain.Chen Pingsheng volunteered to stay and watch the horses, roasting the rabbit that Brother Xu had killed before, while Yu Simian and Mo Jinyan took Brother Xu up the mountain.

The mountain is not high, and the trees are not very dense, but there are bushes, which are very suitable for small animals to hide.

Brother Xu was very excited about this environment, he chirped and yelled a few times, causing commotion in the grass, and in an instant, all the little guys like hares and pheasants disappeared without a trace.

When Brother Xu saw the figures of those animals, he flapped his wings and chased them out, but he couldn't catch up.

Mo Jinyan and Yu Simian looked at each other helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Mo Jinyan said embarrassedly: "Brother Xu is too excited today, it has never been like this before." He let go of his voice and shouted, "Brother Xu, come back."

Brother Xu spun twice and landed on Mo Jinyan's arm.Mo Jinyan grabbed its beak and shook it left and right: "Brother Xu, don't bark indiscriminately, you've scared the prey away."

Brother Xu was really honest, like a child who has done something wrong, he buried his beak into his wings.Yu Simian looked amused: "It's okay, let's go a little further, there should be more."

The two climbed up for a while, and the mountain was full of thorns and shrubs, and the road was very difficult to walk.Mo Jinyan originally thought that Yu Simian would not be used to this kind of mountain road, but he didn't expect him to tie the hem of his robe around his waist, walk like a fly and lead the way ahead, and even reached out to give him a hand when he reached a steep place.

Mo Jinyan said with emotion: "I didn't expect Brother Yu to be able to walk mountain roads like this."

Yu Simian smiled and said: "There are few mountains in the north, and they are all flat land. It is rare to climb a mountain. When I first arrived in Jianning Mansion, I looked up and saw mountains everywhere. I have to climb downhill every time I go out. I am really not used to it." , After a long time, I got used to it. I often go hunting in the mountains, and the mountains in Jianning are much higher than the mountains here, so climbing such a small hill is really trivial.”

Mo Jinyan secretly looked at Yu Simian, although his appearance was not much different from before, but his complexion was much darker, and he looked very energetic. Is the sun in Fujian so much stronger than in the north?

In fact, Mo Jinyan didn't know that when Yu Simian was in the capital, although he didn't say he was pampered, he really didn't suffer much, and the sun and rain were really not his fault.Later, when I went to Jianning, I often went out on business, and I often practiced martial arts, so I got a lot of tan.

Mo Jinyan followed behind Yu Simian, and the two of them chatted one after another: "Brother Yu, you said that Brother Xu just called, can you catch anything?"

Yu Simian stopped suddenly, Mo Jinyan didn't pay attention, just walked with his head down, bumped into Yu Simian's back, he looked up in confusion.Yu Simian gave a soft "shh", and pointed to the front left with his finger.

Mo Jinyan followed the pointer and saw a black and white wild boar leading three half-sized wild boars eating under a tree.This is a forest of wild chestnuts, and a lot of wild chestnuts have fallen out of their shells.The weather is cold in winter, the grass is withered, and the wild boars have less food, so they can only live on wild fruits.

Mo Jinyan's heart was jumping with joy, he suppressed his excitement, took down the bow and arrow, took aim for a while, and shot an arrow at a little wild boar.Last time he chased an adult wild boar, that guy had rough skin and thick flesh, so he couldn't penetrate it at all. This time, he picked a small one, so that if he couldn't shoot the big one, he would run away in a panic. Anyway, he didn't eat much. , a small one is enough.The arrow was unbiased and shot through the little pig's stomach, only to hear a howl, and the little pig fell to the ground.

Yu Simian quickly turned his head and grabbed the bow and arrow in his hand: "Give me the arrow. You hurry up the tree."

Mo Jinyan was a little puzzled: "Why?"

"Don't ask, I'll explain to you later." Yu Simian pushed him as he said, "Quick, climb up the tree."

Mo Jinyan didn't have time to say anything, and subconsciously climbed up a nearby chestnut tree.

Climbing to the tree and looking down, I saw that the sow wild boar did not run away with her piglets, but rushed over screaming, as if she was going desperately.

Mo Jinyan had never seen a crazy wild boar before, but he also felt that something was wrong: "Brother Yu!"

"It's okay, don't worry!" I saw Yu Simian standing calmly in the same place, nodding an arrow and bending the bow, drawing the bow very fully, aiming at the rushing sow, and swishing an arrow, it hit the sow's head .But an adult sow has rough skin and thick flesh, and the arrow only pierced the skin a little.The sow didn't slow down, and continued to rush towards Yu Simian like a frenzy.
