After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 163 Chapter 154 Brother

He Yu chose the address, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers. There is a towering tree here, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant.

Overlooked from a high altitude, the village is in an inverted V shape. He Yu's site is located [-] meters away from the entrance of the village, where there is a small stream, and the gurgling stream is crystal clear.

The river is blue, and the pebbles and fish on the river bed are countless. The mountains on both sides of the river are reflected in the blue waves, like patterns on a piece of blue satin.

"Xiaoyu, you kid has already decided to come to our place, right?"

Although the village head is old, he is very knowledgeable, and he can spot He Yu's little thoughts at a glance.

"Village chief, please don't say that this place is really not what I thought about it in the morning. The main reason is that Brother Er Zhu and I are quite close, and the village just happens to be the place I want to go."

The village chief laughed. He invited He Yu into the house while pouring him tea. He was the only one living in this house, and his wife had passed away long ago.

"Where are your children, village chief?"

It doesn't matter if I don't mention this matter, it is possible that he has no offspring in this destiny.

"He passed away a long time ago! My eldest son was beaten to death with sticks! My daughter was drowned by that water!"

He Yu didn't ask too much about the specific reason, but it must be the village head's sad matter, and it's inevitable that he would be a little puzzled when he mentioned it.

"I can tidy up this house a little bit, and I can make a room for you. You saw that house, my son lived there before. I thought, he's gone, so I turned it into a place to raise chickens." , you probably don’t even have a suitable place to live at Mei Sanniang’s house!”

"I'm a widowed old man, I like to play with the children, or you can just sit here and let's chat at night!"

Looking at the lonely back of the village chief, He Yu couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

"By the way, your manpower, I will help you find it when the time comes! I will eat at my place tonight! It can be regarded as a companion for you! I am a person who is more open-minded."

"I don't have much pursuit of material things, as long as I can eat enough and wear warmth!"

"Although I'm a bit unmotivated, but well, my desire and pursuit are not that big, as long as contentment can make me happy, alas."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, he sighed heavily. From that sigh, He Yu felt that the village chief was also helpless.

Desire is an endless thing. When you want to pursue a higher level, then you will pay more, and your greedy desire will climb up step by step. Once you reach that level, your desire will be endless. want more.

Contentment is not full of hopelessness in life, nor is it the so-called lack of ambition. If you work hard in that direction, as long as you make a little progress, at least you have tried, and you will not feel incompetent, mediocre and useless because you have not tried.

"Cui Erwa, help me move that chair in, it's the chair under the big tree in the yard to enjoy the shade."

"Village Chief, you really do what you can!"

For Cui Erwa, he only has an old mother, and his father hasn't come back since he went out, and sometimes he actually empathizes with what happened to Mei Sanniang.

So he has been with the village head since he was a child. Being the village head is like his own father. Every time the village head reprimands him, he is powerless to refute. After all, he grew up with the village head. To order something to eat, it can be regarded as the village chief pulling him up alive.

Let him grow up to help the family with work, and the family has more food. Since Mei Sanniang's family encountered this, Cui Erwa's mother is very willing to help Mei Sanniang's family, although her family sometimes There is not enough food, and I am willing to give Mei Xue some for her to take home.

Although helping others no matter how much they give, they can't even solve their own lives, let alone solve others, so Cui Erwa always believes that his mother should stop in moderation.

The village head looked at Cui Erwa who was moving the stool in the yard, and said to He Yu, "Don't blame this kid, he's used to being wild, and generally speaking, he's a hard-working kid!"

"Xiaoyu, I don't think you are too old! To have such a vision, I don't think it's the thinking that ordinary people can have! You are indeed a highly educated person!"

"The village chief praised me. I just made a little effort. Only when the overall economic level of our country rises, can our country become stronger. I don't do this just for myself. I also hope that I can live in A prosperous and powerful country."

"At least you won't see those displaced companions, and you won't see those who starve to death on the streets because of food."

He Yu lowered his head with a little low self-esteem, and his voice became a little vicissitudes, "Sometimes I feel that I am quite mediocre and incompetent, because the things I can do are very limited! Looking at those children, they can't even afford to go to school. The desire for knowledge is the kind that makes you unimaginable..."

"Many poor children in mountainous areas will come to a few houses built with broken thatch after overcoming many obstacles. The teaching equipment in the school is very limited. Even the teaching resources may only be a book. Everyone uses garbage bags as schoolbag, using stones on the ground as paintbrushes.”

Thinking of this, he felt that he was too small. He was just an ordinary person in the vast crowd, a person who wanted to change the world but had limited ability, because he knew that only when he became stronger could he help others.

"I don't hate Cui Erwa, I even think his point of view is correct, but I remember the fact that he hit me! After all, I can't beat my face for nothing!"

While talking, He Yu was still a little angry, like a child telling an adult that he was beaten, a little angry.

The village head chuckled. He knew that He Yu would not really hate Cui Erwa, otherwise he would not have asked Cui Erwa to help build the house.

"You two children, you really don't know each other!"

It happened that Cui Erwa was also standing at the door, and when she heard He Yu's words, she was suddenly touched, but he was a man after all, and he couldn't bow his head too much to He Yu, so she snorted, picked up a bench and walked in.

"The village chief puts a bench under that tree every day! You don't sit there, and the bench is so heavy that you can touch the rain in your hands! Don't you move in this rainy day?"

Cui Erwa knocked the bench into the room while complaining.

"You boy, do you think the rain is falling faster or my legs are running faster? The food is more important than the bench? I was collecting food, but I forgot to bring this bench in, so I was drenched in the rain for hours !"

"It looks like it's going to rain again later! It's better to move this bench in!" The village chief looked at the weather outside. The weather in the mountains is really cloudy and rainy. Give people a chance to breathe.

"Hey, He Yu, I think you don't want to live at Mei San's house. That bitch is not human at all when she is crazy. Look, she was caught by me. There are paw prints on her hands. I don't know which bitch she thought it was. The tiger caught it!"

Cui Erwa exposed her arms, which were covered in red stripes and purple stripes.

"You can live at the village chief's house! His house can clean up a room, just enough to sleep in!"

What Cui Erwa thought of, the village head had already said.

"Xiaoyu has promised to sleep with me, you don't have to worry about it!" The village head picked up a dry cigarette and smoked it, hitting the ashes on the tip of the pot, inhaling and exhaling, and spit out a puff of smoke.

This smell is somewhat familiar, it is the big cigarette that He Yu's father often smokes, and he is not very disgusted when he is used to second-hand smoke.

"Village chief, there are still people here, you just smoked on your own, it's choking! I can't stand it, I'd better go out to get some air!" Cui Erwa fanned it with her hand, and the smoke went up her nose in puffs , the taste is really choking, the taste is too strong.

"He Yu, go out, smoking too much is bad for your health!"

Cui Erwa directly pulled He Yu up and walked out. It didn't look like a fight before, but it looked like a pair of brothers.

After going out the door, the air was indeed much fresher, and the wind blowing on my face was very comfortable.

"Second baby, second baby."

"Why did the village chief call him alone?"

As soon as Sanwazi entered the courtyard of the village chief's house, he saw Cui Erwa and He Yu holding hands. Sanwazi froze on the spot, then hurried forward, looked at the two of them carefully, and finally his eyes fell on these two hands .

Only then did Cui Erwa realize that she was holding He Yu, so she quickly let go.

"San Wazi, what are you doing? What can you do with me?"

"No, I said, what's the relationship between you two? One second you were still rubbing against the ground, and the next second you held hands? Is this considered reconciliation?"

"We have reconciled a long time ago! Didn't I apologize to He Yu?" Cui Erwa said.

But Sanwazi was a little puzzled. There was a fight one second, and they made up hand in hand the next second. He thought the village head was forcing Cui Erwa to apologize, thinking, the village head called Cui Erwa alone, It is probably because of this.

He thought, Erwa would definitely be unhappy because of this incident, so he planned to take him to the river ditch to catch crabs, lobsters, and fish to relieve boredom and improve the food along the way.

But who knew that as soon as he entered the village chief's house, he saw two happy friends holding hands, and they had already reconciled.

"You two have really reconciled, and nothing happened?" Sanwazi still couldn't believe it, and asked again in doubt.

"I said that I have already apologized to He Yu. This guy is not such a fussy person, right? He Yu."

"For the sake of the village chief, I forgive you!" He Yu said.

"Look, people are looking at the village chief's face, not yours. Let me just say, if you apologize in a few words, they will forgive you. How is it possible?" All of a sudden, he felt that he had said something wrong, so he quickly shut up and looked at the two of them vigilantly.

In the end, He Yu smiled lightly and asked Cui Erwa, "Where are there fish, lobsters and crabs?"

"Let's go and I'll take you there. My place is a treasure, and others don't even know about it!"

Cui Erwa smiled at He Yu, the two gestured to each other, and He Yu followed Cui Erwa.

As a result, Sanwazi was left alone in the same place, only then did he react, and hurriedly shouted to Erwa who had gone far away, "Erwa, what else are you hiding from me, even I don't know where the treasure is?" You two are waiting for me!"

"Run, He Yu!" Cui Erwa called He Yu cheerfully, the two gestured to each other, and ran quickly, leaving the third child behind to follow closely behind, chasing non-stop.

The scene of one person chasing two people running is frozen in laughter, and He Yu can't help but think of when he was a child, when he was in the village, the children laughed and laughed among them, innocent and innocent, everyone would not compete for interests, as long as whoever brought some food from home Will share with children.

A group of little boys were catching fish in the ditch, and a few little girls were playing in the water on the bank. When everyone caught fish, they would be self-sufficient, and they would make a fire and roast it by themselves. Although there was no condiment, everyone still ate happily.

"He Yu, do you know that when I was young, I was the leader in our village! Do you know what it means to be the leader? Anyway, everyone is led by me, and I bring a group of friends to play everywhere!"

But when it comes to this, Cui Erwa is silent.

"Then, go catch fish with you?"

"It can be considered, but there are wilder ones than this, and people died at that time..."

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have taken them on an adventure, otherwise they wouldn't have been caught by the leopard..."

Cui Erwa was begging for danger, and escaped back. After that incident, he never dared to go to the mountains again, and he would definitely go home before dark.

"To be honest, it was mainly because I was young at the time, otherwise this leopard could beat me? If I meet him again now, I must beat him, cut him up, and eat his meat, otherwise I wouldn't be called Cui Erwa."

What Cui Erwa said was quite forceful, but He Yu could tell in a flash that he was very scared, he was afraid of losing his childhood playmate again, and he was afraid that that scene would resurface again.

He Yu put a firm hand on Cui Erwa's shoulder and told him, "Among all things, one thing conquers another, and we humans are at the top of the biological chain."

Fighting with brute force, people often do not have the advantage, but once they use foreign objects and other forces, their own strength cannot be matched by a leopard.

"He Yu, ahead, do you see that there are rocks everywhere in this river ditch, there must be treasures under the rocks! These little fishes and shrimps like to stay in the crevices of these rocks."

"I'll show you."

The water in this ditch is not deep, it is all mountain spring water flowing down from the mountain, so the water is relatively clear, but no one has used it for a long time, so the water is covered with moss and other algae.

Some water that looks green is actually an illusion of color caused by these algae.

Cui Erwa stood among the rocks and moved a stone at random. A few small crabs ran out and into the water.

A lot, but not big.

Cui Erwa grabbed a slightly larger crab and said to He Yu, "You don't want to grab a crab, I'm afraid you're a city dweller who doesn't know how to eat it!"

He Yu couldn't help laughing, he still knew about catching crabs, but Cui Erwa didn't know, He Yu knew more than him.

Out of Cui Erwa's kindness, He Yu understood, so he pretended to understand, and tried to catch the crab, grabbing the crab's back, so that the pliers would not pinch his hands.

"Yes, that's it! This way you won't be pinched by crabs. Let me tell you, don't look at this thing as small. It hurts when you pinch it, it hurts deeply!"
