brown sugar eggs

What happened that night became a scar in Chen Su's heart, bleeding profusely, and he dared not let Liang Baiyu out of his sight for a moment.

Even though they're about to leave...

When relatives came with a few chickens and ducklings, Chen Suone was shoveling the bottom of the pot in the open space in front of the gate.

The iron shovel rubbed against the bottom of the pot one after another, scraping off a thick layer of black ash, and ran all the way to Liang Baiyu, who was sitting in the air, without moving his position, just feeling the smell of the accumulated fireworks.

The sun was shining and it was warm.

Liang Baiyu's mood was a little distracted, and was suddenly pulled back to reality by a loud voice.

"Little sulfone!" The relative, with the basket in his hand, approached briskly, and secretly glanced at Liang Baiyu twice, not wanting to see him.Chen Su put down the cauldron.

"How is your father? The weather is so good today, you have to get him out to dry in the sun and sterilize the bacteria." The relative deliberately spit in Liang Baiyu's direction and entered the yard, chattering as he walked, "In this world I don’t have anything to my father, don’t get lost in a certain way..."

"My father has passed away." Chen Song's voice sounded from the door.

This incident shocked the relatives, and the vegetable basket fell to the ground, and the chicks and ducklings in it got up tremblingly shaking their short legs, looking around ignorantly, they are new to a place, and they dare not mess around walk around.

Chen Song took his relatives to his father's grave.

The relatives now have to believe it if they don't believe it. She pointed at Chen Suone in front of the grave and scolded him loudly for not even notifying the big guy about this.

Chen Song was silent.

"Say it, why don't you say it! You are so casual about your own father's funeral, you are either deceived by lard, or fascinated by the vixen!" The relative reprimanded Chen Suone with spittle and stares, and his eyes were fierce. He slashed at Liang Baiyu who was squatting on the grass looking at wild flowers.

Chen Song didn't care about his relatives' complaints and dissatisfaction, and he didn't want to bother to explain, but he didn't like his relatives talking about Liang Baiyu, and his complexion gradually turned cold.

The insomnia, decadence and anxiety of years ago, and the panic and anxiety at the beginning of the year caused his outline to become much thinner and harder to approach, and now he showed a fierce look.

The relative was startled, she spat a few words in a low voice, squatted in front of the grave and muttered something, patted her pants and got up and said she was going back.

Chen Song called his relatives aside, told her to take back the chickens and ducks, and told her in a low voice to raise them and make a fortune.

Relatives don't want it very much: "A lame dog, can you guard the door?"

Seeing that Chen Suone's expression was not very good, as if he would be protective and wanted to quarrel with her at any time, she didn't want to chat any more, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay!"

Chen Suone walked up to Liang Baiyu: "I'm back."

Liang Baiyu couldn't get up, Chen Song picked him up by the waist, ignored the stunned expression of his relatives, and strode towards home.

Liang Baiyu lost consciousness before he finished walking the mountain road from the grave to his home.

Chen Su paused for a moment, and tightened his arms around Liang Baiyu, letting his bloodless cheeks stick to his, and quickened his pace.

The relatives behind couldn't catch up, and they kept saying "eh" several times, but they couldn't make Chen Suone slow down and wait for her.

When he got home, Chen Song put Liang Baiyu lightly on the rattan chair under the peach tree, and he turned around to pack Xiao Hei's things.There are basins for eating, wooden sticks and cloth bags for playing, plastic basins with holes...

Unexpectedly, after collecting the things, Fa Cai refused to leave.

Chen Song touched its head, picked it up and put it outside the door in the next second, quickly closed the courtyard door and turned away.

There was the sound of claws pawing at the door outside, mixed with angry shouts.

The relatives shouted speechlessly: "Xiao Su, what's the matter with you dog? Why do you look like a child about to be sold by parents!"

Chen Suone looked at the person who had passed out in the rattan chair, he pursed his thin lips, and said in a familiar tone: "Let's go."

Fa Cai's cry subsided, and the anger was gone, only poor whining.

The relative picked up a branch to play with it, but it was useless, so she asked Chen Song impatiently: "You are going to the county, right, how many days?"

Across the door, Chen Song said: "Going to another place, I won't come back."

The relatives thought that Chen Song had left the dog with her for the time being, and came to pick it up when she turned around. There are so many wild dogs running around the villages, they don’t have to worry about food, and they won’t die of starvation.”

"By the way, if you're not coming back, what about the old hens and ducks you raised? Take them away for me?"

The relative got excited, "There are also vegetables in the vegetable garden, wheat beans in the field, and peanuts, have you grown them..."

The cry of getting rich became miserable.

The relatives thought it was bad luck, and she thought that she should be the only one who knew that wealth was gone, and if her son was going to travel far away and would not return to the village, then she would just wait a few days and come back to get what she could use at home. He said hello and left with a basket of vegetables.

Chen Song opened the courtyard door, Fa Cai rushed in immediately, ran straight to the man on the wicker chair, and grabbed the back of its neck with one hand.

"Don't bother him." Chen Suan squatted and picked up Fa Cai, and found that there were tears in its eyes.

Fa Cai's legs glared wildly in mid-air, whimpering to rub against the human beings who were no match for him.

This is its home.

Chen Su put down Fa Cai, took back the bag at the door, and put all its contents back to their original positions.

He can't decide who lives or dies, not even a dog.

I won't take it with me when I go.

I hope that the mountains and rivers here can support it until its old age.

Standing under the tree, Chen Suone reached out to touch the light and shadow between Liang Baiyu's eyebrows, and caressed it with his rough fingertips.

A few seconds later, Chen Suone bent down, kissed Liang Baiyu's thick eyelashes to the end of her eyes, and stayed there for a long time.

It was already midnight when Liang Baiyu woke up, he was dazed for a while, and fell asleep again after eating two mouthfuls of brown sugar eggs.

I don't know how long it took, and there was a very intense dog barking in the courtyard.

Liang Baiyu opened it and found that Chen Suone had sat up: "What's wrong?"

Chen Song said in a deep voice, "Maybe it's a fire."

"Ah?" Liang Baiyu's vacant spirit gathered a little bit, why, the kitchen is still..."

"In the mountains." Chen Suone opened the curtain on the window.

The moonlight ran in and sprinkled on Liang Baiyu's too thin and haggard face. He looked out the window with a red light.

Chen Suone's sense of smell caught the increasing smell of smoke, and his complexion changed slightly: "We can't stay in the house anymore, let's go."

Liang Baiyu let him button his shirt, uttering vaguely: "Where are you going?"

"Go down the mountain first." Chen Song said.

The dry weather and the unusually high winds tonight made the fire spread too fast.

The mountain has an irreplaceable position in this area of ​​the village. The older generation believes in the mountain god and worships the mountain god, so a fire in the mountain is no less than the sky falling down. Many villagers get up from the bed in a hurry, grabbing the bucket before they can put on their clothes and shoes run up the hill.

Chen Song carried Liang Baiyu down the mountain, with a military bag and a kettle in front of him, a flashlight tied to the strap, which contained important items, and nothing else. He walked fast and steadily, scanning his surroundings as he walked.

"Cough..." Liang Baiyu rested his head on the side of Chen Suone's neck, and his breath was sticky and wet, with a fishy-sweet smell.

Chen Song freed his hand to grab the water bottle and handed it to his mouth.

"Don't drink..." Liang Baiyu closed her eyes, "I...I'll sleep..."

Chen Su put down the kettle, touched Liang Baiyu's left hand that was hanging weakly in front of him, held it and kissed it, the high temperature and stench he felt made his heart tingle, he strode forward, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Fat Cai, follow."

Fa Cai, who stretched his neck to look at the flames from behind, immediately turned around.

The mountains and forests that have accompanied generations of people are being engulfed by a fire, and the panicked and anxious shouts of the villagers are all in one piece.Chen Suone turned his back to the scene of the incident, and his responsibilities and obligations as a forest ranger, his feelings for the mountains, and his mission as a soldier flashed through his mind...

He held the person on his back tightly and kept walking forward.

Chen Song knew the topography of this deep mountain well, the road he chose was absolutely safe, no matter how strong the wind was, it would not be easy to blow the flames to him and Liang Baiyu.

"Wang!"

"Wang Wang!"

Fa Cai dived headlong into the grass and jumped out like a bulldozer. If he hadn't been injured and limped last year, he would have been stronger and more flexible.

Now it is an old boy who has experienced setbacks. He still has vigilance and reactions, but he can't compare with before.

"Come here." Chen Song called back Fa Cai who was running west, "Go this way to the river."

Fa Cai understood, and it led the way with its tail flicking.

"Stop." Chen Suone noticed something strange when he was almost at the foot of the mountain, he turned off the flashlight and called Fa Cai to stop him, and let him come to his hiding place.

Not long after, a group of people passed not far from him carrying several thick trees, shouting "Hurry up" and "Hurry up".

It's not a local accent, it's from a foreign country.

For a moment, Chen Suan thought of the marked tree that was discovered earlier. This was a gang that had planned for a long time.He followed the group of people, using the vegetation to cover them from a distance, and watched them load the tree onto a boat.

The boat was parked in a hidden corner, and the hull of the boat blended into the night. If he hadn't happened to bump into the tree-stealing incident, he might not have noticed it.

Chen Song stared at the swaying reeds, then turned his head to look at the fire on the mountain. The fire set by outsiders can not only cover up the movement of sawing trees, but also divert the attention of the villagers so that they can't find the river. side ships.

Almost all the valuable trees are deep in the mountains and have spent many seasons. They are older than 90.00% of the villagers above five.

Except for every forest ranger, ordinary villagers can't tell which types of trees are valuable, but they don't cut them down at will.

Because the mountain is very big, the surrounding land is divided according to the population of each family, and all the common trees that live well are planted, which is completely enough.

Chen Suone stood there for a while, took a few deep breaths, then looked away, turned to his own direction, carried Liang Baiyu on his back and continued on their way, the flashlight on his bag flickered with his steps.

Everything in the world has nothing to do with him.

It doesn't matter how many old witness trees of those times have been sawed after tonight.

do not care.

Every time Chen Suone took a step, the memory related to this mountain disappeared in his mind, and the vacant space could not be filled with other things...

There was a faint murmur in his ear, and he turned his head uncertainly.

"Turn back..." Liang Baiyu touched Alpha's protruding Adam's apple with his soft hand, and scratched it twice, "Go back."

Chen Song's thoughts were broken by his touch, and he followed suit like a marionette, until he was far away from the river before he heard him call to stop.

"Since you're worried about..."

Liang Baiyu took out something from his pocket, and Chen Suone saw it with astonished expression.

It was a white whistle. After he became a forest ranger, he would hang it on his neck every time he patrolled, and put it in a drawer when he was too busy a year later.

"call out……"

"Shhhhhhhhhh-"

"Shhhhhhhhhhh"

One whistle after another, louder and louder than the last whistle, came from the mouth of a patient who had suffered countless rumors and malice, penetrated the flames, and reached the ears of every villager struggling to fight the fire.

Liang Baiyu was biting his whistle, with indifference between his brows and eyes, only the peripheral vision that fell on the face of the man who was staring blankly at him was gentle.

I'm not loving what you love, and I'll never be able to.

I just don't want what happened tonight to form a net of guilt and trap you.
