I see my brother lying every day

Chapter 9 Childhood Shadows

Gu Xuelin felt very tired and fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know how long he slept in a daze.

When he woke up, he wanted to open his eyes, but he felt that his eyes seemed to be covered with something, and he couldn't open them at all.

He rubbed his eyes, the eyelashes were really stuck.Before he fell asleep, it seemed that he had just cried a lot, and there was still a feeling of discomfort after the tears dried on his face.

After a while, he finally opened his eyes, looked around, and found himself lying on the muddy ground under the weeds.And his little black paws let him know that he really returned to his childhood.And children have a lot of eye mucus, and it is strange that they go to bed without washing their face after crying, and it is strange that their eyes are not covered.

It's a little dark here, and Gu Xuelin couldn't remember where it was for a while.After he regained his composure, he realized that it was under the Miscanthus bushes, which used to be his secret base when he was young.

Miscanthus is everywhere in the mountains.Its leaves are sharp and can easily scratch human skin.But Gu Xuelin, who was a child, often ran here secretly to cry.Few people come here, and he doesn't have to be afraid of being laughed at when he cries.

Gu Xuelin knelt down, lowered his body as much as possible, lowered his head to protect his face, and carefully climbed out of the grass.Even though he was very careful, there was still a thin cut on his face.

Gu Xuelin felt the sting on his face, but he didn't dare to touch it with his hands.Now his whole body is covered with dirt and grass, and his fingers are even more black. If he rubs it on his face, he probably will cause problems to his face that was originally fine.

After climbing out of the miscanthus bushes, I immediately felt the heat blowing towards my face.He stood up quickly, patted the grass clippings on his body, looked around, and tried to find the memories of his childhood.

This miscanthus bush is more than two meters high, and it grows densely in several rows.Gu Xuelin remembered that when he was a child, he would often come to cut Miscanthus in autumn and take it back to make a broom.And summer is when it grows most vigorously.

The gap under the Miscanthus leaves is not big, and adults cannot get in, but children can crawl in and out freely.This has also become the place with the deepest memory of his childhood, and it is a place for him to vent his emotions.

But he was familiar with Miscanthus bushes, and had almost forgotten about the surroundings.Lost, he had to go around in the sun against the sun, and it took him half an hour to finally find the mountain road.

Along the stone-paved mountain road, there is also a small ditch winding all the way down from the top of the mountain.The water in the ditch is very shallow, and it is formed by the slow collection of small springs from all over the mountain, which is clear and transparent.

Gu Xuelin squatted by the ditch, rubbing his hands vigorously, but his hands were somewhat dirty and couldn't be washed off. Now there is no soap and hand sanitizer to decontaminate him.Gu Xuelin remembered that when he was a child, he seemed to come home clean every time, otherwise he must have been beaten.

After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered, hurriedly grabbed a handful of black mud from the ground, applied it on his hands, and then went to the water to wash his hands.Sure enough, within a short while, his little hands were clean.

After Gu Xuelin cleaned himself up and confirmed that no one else could see that he had cried, he walked slowly down the mountain.

He worked hard to calm his mind, now, he has a healthy body, which is what he dreamed of before.In the future, he will definitely protect himself and never let others hurt him again!

"Linzi, you ran up the mountain again? Your grandma has been scolding there for a long time. If you don't go back, be careful that she beats you."

Gu Xuelin was distracted when he suddenly heard a shout coming from a distance, and he was in a daze for a while before realizing that the other party was calling him.

He looked down to the foot of the mountain, only to find that it was a girl in coarse cloth with two ponytails.The girl was running quickly towards the mountain road with a big bamboo basket in her hand.

Gu Xuelin didn't think of her name for a while, but still couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time.But it's normal for him not to remember. After a few years in his previous life, he left this mountain village and never came back. It's strange that he can remember.

I don't remember the little girl's name, but Gu Xuelin remembers that the little girl who is a few years older than him is the sister of the next door.So many children in the village bullied him, only this young lady didn't bully him, and let him watch while doing homework.

Seeing her running out of breath, he felt a little sorry, and replied loudly: "I'll go back right away! Thank you, sister."

The little girl probably heard that Gu Xuelin was not crying, so she felt relieved and stopped running. She put the basket by her feet, put her hands on her knees, and took a deep breath.

She slowed down for a while, and then smiled at Gu Xuelin who had already come to her: "Well, go back quickly. If your grandma hits you, you should hide, don't be so honest, she hits you, even if it doesn't hurt , you have to cry out for pain, and you have to cry!"

The little girl taught Gu Xuelin how to deal with her parents.

Familiar conversations and familiar people finally reminded Gu Xuelin that this should be the summer when he was five years old.I remember that in the previous life, he and this young lady also ran into each other here, and he innocently said to the young lady at that time: 'I don't cry, if I cry, I will be laughed at.It hurts, and I don't cry. '

But he won't now, the little girl is kind, and this trick, although it can't make his grandma stop, it can attract the neighbors next door.In full view, someone would always stop his grandma.

After bidding farewell to the little girl, Gu Xuelin started to run quickly.The child has short legs and doesn't run fast, but he is so excited that he wants to cry.

He hadn't run so freely for ten years!

After entering the village, Gu Xuelin suddenly slowed down, and now he doesn't want to go back.

What are you going to do?At home, there is only his grandma who hates him, and his grandpa who is as high-minded as an old pedant, who doesn't care about anything, and doesn't do anything.

There was nothing worthy of his nostalgia in that home.

Just when Gu Xuelin was wandering again, he suddenly heard a rough man laughing loudly: "Linzi! You went to find your mother again? You were picked up from a tree hole. The old camphor tree in the middle of the village is your mother!"

Gu Xuelin looked at the big man with disgust, it was this man who kept telling him that he was picked up from a tree hole, which made him really think that he had no mother.If he has a mother, why does his mother rarely visit him.If he was grandma's grandson, how could grandma be willing to beat him.Aren't other people's grandchildren considered treasures?Why is he nobody wants!

But now he won't, he has a mother, the greatest mother.

Gu Xuelin ignored the rough guy and finally accelerated his pace. No matter what, he had to go back and wait for his mother.

There are too many people in this village that he hates.Although they had no bad intentions, they were just teasing him.But those people never thought that those jokes were the scariest to him when he was young in his previous life.It made him very restless, worrying about being abandoned by his family every day.

His childhood was almost lived under the shadow of these jokes.

No matter how far the road is, there is always time to reach it, not to mention that the mountain village is very small, even if Gu Xuelin dawdled, he arrived at the door of his house in a short time.Gu Xuelin looked at the big house with white walls and blue tiles, but he dared not enter.He was a little at a loss. Even though he was an adult, the fear in his heart since he was a child made him fear this family.

The house of their family is considered pretty good in the mountain village.In his previous life, he had heard that although his ancestors were not very rich, they were considered knowledgeable.

And his learned grandfather relied on this to marry his hardworking and capable grandmother.

As an illiterate grandma, he has always regarded her husband as her god, and does not want her husband to do any work. She manages the house very well by herself, and has raised several sons and daughters.

Although the sons are all married, the family has no money to build a new house, so the family has not been separated until now, and they all live together.

Grandma is the head of the family, taking care of the big and small things in the family.Grandpa will never have anything to do with work, all he needs is to occasionally put on his glasses and look at the utility bills.

Gu Xuelin also worshiped his grandfather when he was a child, but when he grew up, he couldn't understand it anymore.How can a man be so proud?In fact, the so-called knowledgeable means knowing some characters and being able to read a newspaper article.

Gu Xuelin was still dawdling there with his head down, when suddenly his ears hurt, he was grabbed and dragged into the room.

"Little brat, where did you die! You still know how to come back! See if I don't beat you to death!"
