escape and return

Still on that road, Fangge looked at the familiar houses and buildings along the way, as if everything just happened yesterday.

When passing by the school, Fang Ge pointed to the steamed stuffed bun shop across from the school and said to Yuan Song: "I used to go to school here, and I really wanted to eat steamed buns from this shop. When I saw other students eating, I was so hungry."

After noon, the steamed stuffed bun shop had already closed for business, Fangge took a deep breath, as if the smell of steamed stuffed buns still lingered in the air.

"Once, I picked up a huge sum of money on the way to school, a total of five yuan," Fangge grinned and said to Yuan Song, raising his free hand to make a five, "but I I was so happy, I was only thinking about steamed stuffed buns in the morning. Their business is very good. I was afraid that they would close before noon. I rushed out as soon as school was over that morning and bought it for three yuan. The six buns were eaten in one sitting. Haha, thinking about it now, it still tastes delicious." Fangge smacked his lips as he thought about it.

The warm winter sun fell on them quietly, tenderly, Yuan Song followed in his brother's footsteps, with a smile on his lips, turning his face to look at his brother from time to time.The things I wanted to do and the taste I missed when I was young can always keep its beautiful side. When I grow up, it will be difficult to get back the same mood and taste.

After so many years, the town government seems to have never thought about repairing the dirt road leading to Lihe Village. Now there are many more cars on the road, and every time they drive past, they will bring up a cloud of dust.The Fang Ge brothers squinted their eyes and waved the dust in front of them.A tricycle passed by them, and Fang Ge quickly stopped it.

"Master, how much is it to go to Lihe Village?"

"Ten yuan per person, hurry up, get in the car if you want to sit." The two walked to the rear of the car and were about to climb into the car, when they looked up, oh my god, the car is full of people, isn't this overloaded?Fangge and Yuan Song glanced at each other, how could they sit still!

"Master, let's go." The master started the tricycle and drove away in a huff, with another mouthful of loess.

"Bah, bah." The two of them spat out their mouths, frowning and looking at the road stretching all the way to the back of the mountain. This road will take at least an hour to walk, not to mention the good weather today, even in winter. The two walked out in sweat.

"I still have to walk a long way, are you tired Song Song?"

"Not tired, let's go brother, it's okay."

After walking for a while, they saw a single brick house built in the middle of the road. There lived an old man. His wife had passed away for many years. Every time Fangge passed by after school, the old man would smile and greet him. He said hello, and sometimes invited him upstairs for some pancakes he made himself.Fangge liked the old man very much.

"There is a madman in this part of town. It is almost the childhood nightmare of all the children on our road. Every time the adults scare the children, they say that the madman is coming. He has a scythe in his hand, and the handle is so long that it drags to the ground. One time, I happened to pass by here after school, and the lunatic came from a distance, and when he saw me, he raised his sickle and ran towards me, but it frightened me, and he turned around and ran away. It was this grandpa who saved me. The upstairs called me hard. I hid here for a long time that day, and even had a dinner, haha."

"How old were you then, brother?"

"About third or fourth grade, the younger one."

"No one with you? Are there no other children in the village?"

The sun fell warmly on Fang Ge's eyelashes, forming a small shadow under his eyes, making Fang Ge particularly cute. "They all have someone to pick them up. Almost every family in the village has a bicycle, and their family members will pick them up." Yuan Song pursed his lips, closed his eyelids and stared at the whitened road, trying to control his thoughts Bursts of bitterness welled up.

The single-family house stood there quietly, the dirt road was divided into two by it, and then merged behind it, the windows on the second floor were broken, the door was locked tightly, and the wooden handrails were covered with spiders Net, it looks like no one has lived in it for a long time.

Fang Ge kept staring at the house, until he walked far away, he still turned his head to look at it, as if he was saying goodbye.

"Brother, don't be sad, I will be with you from now on."

Fang Ge withdrew his gaze, and his gaze stayed on Yuan Song's face for a while, his younger brother was looking at him sadly.

"It's okay, your brother is strong."

"Did you see the big rock under there? Just that one, the flattest and flattest piece half blocked by the reeds. Once that lunatic took a bath under here and stood on that big rock. Just now I didn't see him at first, until I heard him screaming, I turned my head and saw a big ball of white meat, oh my god, he jumped over from that rock when he saw me, scared me and ran like hell I dared to look back after running two miles away. I was really scared to death of your brother that time, and I am not afraid to tell you that the tears flowed down my nose, crying while running, and there was no one on the road. It was all up to me. That loud cry cheered me up."

"Brother, what kind of life are you living here? It's in dire straits."

"Well, it's actually not bad. Now that I think about some things in the past, I think it's quite interesting."

"Hey, Song Song, look at that cemetery, it's on that mountain, we will pass by the foot of the mountain over there later, every time I go there, I walk very fast, for fear that something will come out and pull me away Huh, you scared me to death, you child..." Fangge was still in a sideways posture, just now his dear younger brother Yuan Song stretched out a hand to pat him on the shoulder while he was talking. , Fangge almost jumped up in fright.

"You son of a bitch, don't you know that I've been afraid of this thing since I was a child? You still scare me, we broke up for 3 minutes. I won't talk to you now."

Yuan Song coughed softly, moved closer to Fangge, and bumped his elbow against Fangge's shoulder, "Brother, come on, smile, don't be afraid, oh brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I won't scare you anymore Is it done?"

Playing and playing all the way, they finally arrived at Lihe Village. It was still the tung tree forest, the row of stone piers across the river, and the high stone dam...

Yuan Song held Fang Ge's hand and tightened it tightly. Fang Ge looked up at his younger brother with a smile and squeezed his hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my grandfather!"

The grandpa's house was very lively, and there was a noisy sound from a distance. It is estimated that the sons and daughters brought their grandchildren back to celebrate the old man's birthday.The two brothers walked up the embankment step by step, and saw the relatives crowded in front of the grandfather's house at a glance.
