Wolf Xianggong

When Old Man Zheng heard that Brother Shui was going home to have a look, he nodded in his heart.

He put down what he was doing, went into the house silently, found his own thick jacket, put it on Shuishi's body, and put a stack of yellow paper money under his arm, led Shuishi, walked out of the gate and walked up the small slope next to him. .After a while, a compound with a wooden fence on a high terrain and backed by a hillside appeared in front of Shuishi.

The yard looked neater than the houses I saw along the way, and it was quite spacious.The fence in the yard is dense and well-enclosed, as high as a person. On the east and west sides are tied up barns, and the necessary livestock pens in Orion's home.In the middle is a well-organized earthen house facing north and south, and the walls of the house are evenly plastered with mud.

It's just that it doesn't have the life atmosphere of ordinary farmers' homes, it is clean but deserted.The small arched wooden windows on both sides of the door are open, only the inner side of the window is tightly separated by hardwood strips, which is both ventilated and safe.

When I was in the water, I approached the small window and looked in. It was not an empty room. There were all furniture, tables and cabinets inside, and a huge bow was hung on the earthen wall opposite the bed.There was no dust in it, as if someone had cleaned it.

Old man Zheng took the key to open the door and entered the house, and said as he walked, "Son, we went to your uncle's house and brought back all the good wooden tables, chairs and cabinets that he moved away at that time! They are not worthy of such a family. Brother’s good things! Especially your father’s big bow, there is no better one in the county, if no one can pull it off, hum, I would have sold those two things a long time ago!”

The old man stepped forward and touched the big bow, his eyes full of emotion, "Fortunately, my brother is back, and this equipment was not brought back in vain!"

When I was in the water, I touched the hard and shiny big bow, and then I looked at the original home of Brother Shui, it is really a good place to live.He is also separated from other people's homes by a slope, and there is a gap of up and down, which suits him very well, and he is the least likely to greet his neighbors.And it is not dilapidated, it is still a very new house.

"Uncle Zheng, do you often come to clean it? I don't think there is much dust."

Just as the old man was looking for a pot in the outhouse, he took a scythe and said, "Yes, it's a pretty good house. It was newly built in the year you were born, and it was only a dozen years old. If you want to clean it often, you can be invincible. Wait for it. If you are an adult, you can use it."

At that time, Big Sun wanted the title deed and wanted to sell it, but the brothers didn't agree.The houses in the left and right mountain villages are not worth much, and the brothers donated some to his uncle to keep the water. The old man Zheng didn't say anything about where he is now.

Perhaps because of thinking about the old man, he felt uncomfortable. Old man Zheng didn't talk much. He knelt down in front of the courtyard gate while carrying water, lit a fire with a scythe, and sacrificed a pot of paper money.

Seeing the ignited flames in Shuishi, he muttered in his heart. He was a little confused, and began to resonate with this body, as if he was Brother Shui when he was not Lin Shui at this moment. The scene flashed back in front of my eyes, and my eyes were filled with uncontrollable tears.

When the paper money was burnt out, the whole body suddenly loosened in the water, as if there were no more restraints, and I felt extremely light.He felt something in his heart, so he knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed three times in the direction where the paper money and ashes were flying.

Old man Zheng sighed, "Don't cry, baby, live well in the future, thank you parents for your kindness." After finishing speaking, he packed up the scythe and iron basin, put them back in the toilet room, locked the door, and went down with water slope.

When Shui Shi went to Zheng's house, he already had a decision in his heart, so he only thought about how to speak, so he kept silent all the way, Lao Zheng thought that there was nothing he could do about the child being hurt by seeing the scene.

A hundred meters down the slope is Zheng's house, and when we approached the door, we decided to break through the main contradiction first!Don't expect too many people in the room at that time, he can't say it about the old lady's sister-in-law and second wife.

"Uncle Zheng!" Lao Zheng was stopped, "What's the matter, Brother Shui." Shui Shi looked at the old man with eyes swollen from crying just now, "Uncle, I still decided to live on the slope by myself, so as not to miss my parents, and I am here I’m used to living in the mountains by myself, so one person can handle it.”

The old man frowned when he heard this, "You are a brother, you can't lift your shoulders, you can't lift your hands, you are so weak! It is difficult to burn the house with food, so how can I rest assured! How about meeting thieves again at night!"

But Shui Shi insisted on going back to live, and he couldn't stop him, after all, they were not a family, and the time they got along with each other was short, so they couldn't explain clearly what their family meant.Shuishi rolled his eyes again, "Besides, it's not far away. I have something to do. I can stand on the slope and shout a few times! Uncle Zheng has to help me!"

Old Zheng made sense when he heard it. At worst, he asked Dongsheng to go up the slope to see more, and he just wanted to help, so he agreed.

But it was still impossible to move immediately that night. We had to go to heat up the kang of the house on the slope to warm up the damp and cool air in the house. I had to go to the water when I had to go by myself, but the eldest brother and Dongsheng didn't say anything , took the firewood and left.

Shui Shi felt very sorry, he added to the family's work, but there was nothing he could do, he just thanked him later.

Before moving, the Zheng family went through a lot of tossing and sent a lot of daily necessities to the slope, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, bedding oil lamps, and even cabbage and potatoes. It's not worth a few dollars, but it solves the urgent need for water.

Shui Shi couldn't refuse, so he followed them, but before he left, he opened the rattan basket, took several big fire mushrooms, and gave them to the Zheng family.

Old man Zheng quickly declined. When he took care of Shui, he did it for the sake of his old friend and for the sake of his family in the future, and he didn't expect anything in return.Besides, no one in the family has ever seen such a big and thick top-quality Ganoderma lucidum!How much is this worth!

The sister-in-law's eyes widened, "Here, brother! Where did you get this! It's incredible."

When I was in the water, I thought about it, but I couldn't hide it, so I told the truth, "It was picked in the dense forest in Dongshan."

The family wanted to know a place, so they could try their luck.But when they heard the word "Dongshan", they all fell silent, and no one dared to speak.

It is a forbidden and dangerous place set by the ancestors, and the fear of Dongshan flows in the blood of the villagers of Rehe.This time it was helpless, when the brothers risked their lives to find the water, they tried their best to be careful, but still almost lost their lives to the bear wolf.After I came back, I never dared to mention Dongshan again.

What's more, there is a precedent. Yuanshan Village sacrificed to wolves when they wanted to get water. It was also because of the desire to hunt for treasures that they went to Dongshan. As a result, those people died and went crazy.Even the villagers were affected, and no one dared to raise livestock, and they would be killed silently.

So no one in the family asked about the origin of the Ganoderma lucidum, and they all killed it without telling it.The treasure is not revealed to others, which not only saves the lives of others in the treasure hunt, but also ensures the peace of the countryside under the Dongshan Mountain.

In the end, old man Zheng felt that it was not safe, so he took the ganoderma.It's risky enough for Brother Shui to live alone, and adding these treasures is not a long-term solution.Shui Shi didn't know that this thing was so valuable, so he didn't think much about it. He was quite happy to see Uncle Zheng took it.

He even kept the biggest one for himself!If you sleep on the hot kang and get angry, you can boil water to drink!

So before leading the little black horse uphill, I was still there teaching people how to eat Ganoderma lucidum, "Auntie, boil that thing into water and drink it, or grind it into powder to make cake, it can protect the liver and detoxify, and I don't like getting sick!"

Aunt Zheng choked when she heard the words, and agreed with a stiff expression.But I thought in my heart, do you still eat the fetishes on Dongshan?If she didn't cut a board to offer, she would feel that her life would be shortened...

In any case, Shuishi finally moved to a new house, and sat alone on the hot kang in the evening, breathing a sigh of relief, enjoying the peace and freedom.

But after thinking about it, he rolled up again, turned out all the beautiful young eggs wrapped in wolf fur, and looked at them one by one in front of the light, and they seemed to be all the same, so they were all piled up on the kang, wondering if they could hatch in the future!Just as he was covering the egg, there was a knocking sound outside the door, which was quite rhythmic.

When in the water, carefully open the peek hole of the wooden door and look out, only to see a horse's mouth blocking the wooden hole!

Since there was no one around, the little black horse walked around twice around the fence of a person's height, jumped out with its long legs lifted, and jumped in again. It was tired of playing, and it didn't open the door to invite it in when looking at the water!So he pulled a horse's face, kicked the door with his front hoof, and looked into the house.

In the water, I was a little dumbfounded, did this guy not know that he was a horse!There is grass and fodder outside, but I have to sleep in the house when I have to drink water.Helpless, Shui Shi relented and opened the door anyway.The little black horse twitched its braids, walked with reserved steps on four legs, and lay down on the ground under the kang.

When Shui Shi saw this scene, he really felt that the animals on Dongshan Mountain were all extremely proud and noble, the wolf cub was like this, the fat squirrel was like this, and the young black horse at the moment also looked like the boss and its second child!

It made him look like a long-term worker, serving his master every day!

But the cats recalled those little things in the bed, but their hearts were soft and grateful. They took good care of themselves, so that a person who had no power to restrain a chicken could live well in the harsh mountains.

Thinking of this, the figure of that person's back appeared more and more in his mind, with distinct muscles and bones, generous and magnificent.

What I have seen the most is his back view, perhaps because that person always has his back facing him, protecting him in front of him.

Maybe it was because that person always turned around and left without saying a word.

Fell asleep with such disturbing thoughts while in the water.

In a trance, the people on the kang fell into a dream.The pony on the ground gradually became restless, but finally lowered its head, and when it left the water, it lay quietly in the side room, even breathing lightly.

Qi Qi whispered in his ears when he was in the water, but he couldn't understand.He followed a huge white wolf emitting white light, and kept running. Surrounded by rapidly receding mountains and vast mountains, he ran through countless autumn and winter seasons, and stopped at a clear hot spring.

In the dream, he didn't know that he was a guest, he didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know his name when he was in the water. He only had the pool of water in front of him in his heart, and then he jumped into it.

After encountering the water, he instinctively struggled, but still did not wake up, his spirit turned to pass through the spring water, and was immersed in an ivory white tower.There are tall and strong men and women coming and going in the tower. Sometimes they run hand in hand in the mountains and forests, and sometimes howl at the moon.

The higher you go, the fewer people there are, until there are groups of white wolves guarding the vicinity, but when you are in the water, you run all the way to the highest point and the end!

No longer covered by the dome, he saw the light of the sky!Seeing a huge moon hanging in the night sky, the moon seems to be very close to the tower!The shadows above are all clearly visible.

While in the water, his legs still ran forward in disbelief, but suddenly he saw a tall figure at the end of the platform, he found himself, turned around and ran towards him!

The man gradually transformed while rushing towards the water, his hands turned into giant claws, his face turned into a beast, his muscles and bones smashed his clothes, like an ancient giant beast!

When I was in the water, I was afraid for no reason, and my neck was also stabbing nervously!When he turned around to run, he seemed to be uneasy in his heart, and looked back in a strange way.

Behind him, under the huge full moon, a pair of golden eyes stared at him intimidatingly...

The author has something to say:

Is there anyone who often runs in dreams like Shui Shi?I don't know what I was rushing to, and I woke up exhausted.
