"Master, I see that you fell several times just now, is there anything wrong?"

the girl asked concerned.

"It's okay, the road was too dark just now, I didn't see it clearly, and my skin was broken."

Zhang Xiaoran said with some embarrassment.

My physical fitness is really not good, I just trot for a while, and I fell several times.

You must know that when I was a child, I wandered around in this mountain, catching hares and digging out bird eggs, as agile as a monkey.

It's a pity that the past can't be recalled...

"Master, why is it so dark? What are you doing here in the mountains?"

the girl asked suspiciously.

It is not easy to go on the road at night, and basically few people from the bottom of the mountain go up the mountain at night.

"I……"

"Our village is near here, and the nearest village to our village is over a mountain. Otherwise, you can stay in our village tonight. In the past few years, donkey friends from the city like you have come here when it gets dark. Our village!"

Just as Zhang Xiaoran was about to speak, he was interrupted by the little girl.

Hearing this little girl's voice, Zhang Xiaoran couldn't help but think of it. I don't remember whether it was in junior high school or in elementary school. If you don’t know each other, smile and ask the guest where he came from.”

Isn't this the case now?

He obviously went back to his village, but was treated as a foreigner. The children in the village didn't know him, and he didn't know her either.

The girl in front of me should be about fourteen or fifteen years old depending on her age. She can no longer be called a little girl, but a young girl. When I left my hometown, she might not even be a tadpole!

Zhang Xiaoran couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart!

"Okay, thank you little girl!"

"Well, you're welcome, sir."

Seeing the sweat on Zhang Xiaoran's face and the bruises on her arms, she said with some concern: "Master, let's go to the village quickly, and bandage your hands quickly."

At this time, Zhang Xiaoran followed the moonlight to look at the girl carefully, and at a glance, Zhang Xiaoran was not only amazed.

This girl has a delicate appearance, with willow-leaf eyebrows on her slender melon-seeded face, slender and curved like a moon, a pair of amorous eyes like autumn water, Qiong Qiongyao has a small cherry mouth under her nose, which is tender and delicate.

I don't know whose child it is in the village. It is so beautiful, much more beautiful than those young female stars in the movie.

Under the moonlight, it looks like a little fairy falling into the world!

Men have a heart to appreciate beauty!

What's more, a 42-year-old bachelor like Zhang Xiaoran!

Soon, Zhang Xiaoran withdrew his gaze!

"You were born before I was born, and I was old when I was born. You hate that I was born late, but I hate that you were born early..."

"What are you thinking? I am a retired middle-aged bachelor with this body. If I think about it, I will die. Do you want to receive a few more years of pension!"

Zhang Xiaoran secretly scolded himself in his heart.

With a beautiful young girl as a companion, Zhang Xiaoran felt that he seemed to be several years younger while talking and laughing, and the speed of climbing the mountain was a bit faster, and he didn't feel the tiredness just now, and the climbing was very easy.

As for this beautiful girl, she was especially happy because she learned a lot about the customs and customs of the city from Zhang Xiaoran during the conversation with Zhang Xiaoran.

She really likes the feeling of chatting with Zhang Xiaoran, and she likes to hear some anecdotes from him outside.

During the conversation, Zhang Xiaoran also knew the girl's name "Zhang Qianqian", which was very common but nice.

Just like that, the originally long mountain road was soon over, and Zhang Xiaoran returned to Taoyuan Village, which he was both unfamiliar with and familiar with!

The small mountain village in the night is very quiet.

In Zhang Xiaoran's memory, even at night, the whole village is very lively. Before ten o'clock in the evening, there were people walking around in the village, and children were still playing.

Noise, dog barking, TV, crying, laughing, the whole village is full of vitality.

But now, except for the lights from scattered houses, the whole village is shrouded in night, lonely and cold...

Like many villages in the mountains, Taoyuan Village cannot escape the trend of the times. With the support of the state, many slightly wealthy villagers have moved out of the mountain village. households and the elderly.

Twenty-five years ago, when Zhang Xiaoran first left Taoyuan Village to go out to work, there were hundreds of households and thousands of people in the whole village, but now, according to Zhang Qianqian, there are less than a hundred people left in the whole village.

Zhang Qianqian complained that there were no girls her age in the village, and she could only go to school with a few kids in the village every day. She was almost becoming a king of kids.

Following Zhang Qianqian's footsteps, Zhang Xiaoran came to her home.

Zhang Qianqian's home is the same as all other homes in the village. The yard is simply surrounded by a bamboo fence, and the fence is full of flowers.

There are a few orange trees in the yard, which grow very lushly, with fruits hanging faintly on the trees, and some oranges have turned orange.

Just as Zhang Xiaoran was standing quietly in this fenced yard, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery of this small courtyard, the main door of Zhang Qianqian's house had already been opened, and there was a faint light coming from inside. Zhang Qianqian had already brought her Mother came out.

"I'm really sorry to bother you so late. Is this Zhang Xiaodong's house?"

Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of him who looked somewhat similar to Zhang Qianqian, Zhang Xiaoran hurried forward and immediately asked with an apology.

Hearing that the old man in front of him actually called out his father's name, Zhang Qianqian looked at him in surprise and asked, "Do you know my father?"

"you are?"

Wu Guifang looked at the middle-aged man in front of her suspiciously.

I heard from my daughter that she met a donkey friend from the city on the road, who had no place to stay at night and wanted to stay at her own house, so she came out to see the donkey friend her daughter was talking about.

What surprised her was that this man actually called out his own man's name.

You know, since the man in my family became disabled in a car accident ten years ago, he hasn't been out of the village except to see a doctor. It should be said that he doesn't know the person in front of him.

My husband is paralyzed in bed, and my daughter is still young. If the other party is a bad person, it will be troublesome to play tricks in the house.

"Siblings, my name is Zhang Xiaoran. I'm the elder brother of your husband Zhang Xiaodong. It's just that I went out to work very early. It's normal that you don't know me."

Seeing the other party's puzzled and vigilant expression, Zhang Xiaoran introduced himself.

The last time he returned to the village was 15 years ago. At that time, Zhang Xiaodong was only proposing marriage to the other party, so it is normal for his wife not to know him.

Looking at this younger brother and sister, Zhang Xiaoran couldn't help but envy Zhang Xiaoran, who married such a beautiful wife.

Hey……

Thinking that he was already in his forties and didn't have a wife yet, Zhang Xiaoran was absolutely right in saying that sentence: "Comparing people, you must die, and comparing goods, you must throw them away."

"Are you really my uncle?"

Zhang Qianqian did not expect that the middle-aged man in front of him turned out to be her father's clan brother, and his genuine uncle.

"It turns out to be big brother, please come in!"

Wu Guifang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was her man's clan brother, and warmly invited Zhang Xiaoran into the house.

"Guifang, who is outside?"

Hearing voices outside the house, especially men's voices, Zhang Xiaodong moved from the bed to the window, poked his head out of the window to look out, and asked loudly uneasily.

"It's Brother Zhang Xiaoran who came back from outside. He came to see you!"

Wu Guifang shouted back.

Since her husband was paralyzed in a car accident, this suspicion has become more and more serious, and he always doubts that he is getting along with others outside.

He didn't even think about it, if he really wanted to get along with someone else, and divorced him long ago, would he still need to live a hard life with him in this village?
