Zhaojiatun, located at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is pleasant. But because of the inconvenient transportation, this tunzi is very poor. So poor that even eating meat has become a luxury, and so poor that he is reluctant to use electric lights.

Of course, the name Zhaojiatun has become a thing of the past, and now it has become a famous women's village in ten miles and eight townships.

This incident can be traced back to a year ago, when Zhao Dashan, the richest man in the village, took over a project to install water, electricity and heating on a construction site in the city. This project is very large, and if it is completed on time, it can earn hundreds of thousands.

I was going to let the old men of the whole village make a few more money, but who knew that the community was a tofu slag project, but when the old men of the whole village were in full swing to install water and electricity heating, the community collapsed directly.

And all the people in Zhaojiatun were buried under the rubble, and when they were pulled out, more than 200 people were unfortunately killed.

Although it is not directly related to Zhao Dashan, this incident started because of him. And he instantly became the sinner referred to by Wanfu in Zhaojiatun.

Because of a guilty conscience, Zhao Dashan committed suicide by taking dichlorvos.

Although Zhao Dashan was relieved, he left Zhao Xiaoning, who was only sixteen years old, to live alone in Zhaojiatun, living in people's fingers.

In front of a graveyard overgrown with weeds, Zhao Xiaoning sat there with painful eyes, although he was only sixteen years old, his facial features were delicate. Especially those eyes full of vicissitudes are beyond the reach of peers. Washed yellowed white t-shirt, with a pair of big pants, mille-feuille bottom, authentic peasant boy dress.

"Dad, although you are gone, I will pay the debt you owe for you. It's just that I don't know how long I can hold on, I can't stand it anymore. ”

Thinking of this year's life, Zhao Xiaoning felt like he was in hell. No one has ever given him a good look, but everyone who sees him spits in his face, but what can he do?

The father's debt is repaid, as long as the big guy is happy, even if he is allowed to die, he will not frown. Only, is death really the solution to the problem? No, it's the act of a coward.

"Brother Xiao Ning. ”

At this moment, a crisp shout came.

Hearing that shout, Zhao Xiaoning quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked not far away. From the knee-deep wild grass, a young girl in a white floral dress walked over, only to see her delicate facial features, bright big eyes as if she could speak, a ponytail hanging behind her head, especially the skin that was as crystal as white jade, looking like a city person.

Although he is not from the city, Wang Erya's father is the village chief of Zhaojiatun. And she is the village flower of the village, and her fame spreads all over the surrounding ten miles and eight towns.

Seeing Wang Erya, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Xiaoning's mouth. The reason why he was able to survive the insults of the villagers was mainly because of Wang Erya, after all, the two had a baby kiss when they were eight years old. Only Wang Erya was the only one in the village who treated him a little better and often encouraged him to comfort him, otherwise Zhao Xiaoning would definitely choose the behavior of a coward.

"Erya, why are you here?" Zhao Xiaoning stood up and patted the loess and weeds on his buttocks.

Wang Erya said: "I went to your house to find you and found that you were not there, so I guessed that you were here." Brother Xiao Ning, I came to you this time to tell you something. ”

"Why do you have to run here to say, look at the weeds on your legs. Zhao Xiaoning said distressedly.

Wang Erya pursed her lips and said, "Let's elope." ”

"What?" Zhao Xiaoning was taken aback.

Wang Erya said with a firm look in her eyes: "Elope, let's leave Zhaojiatun and live in other places." Brother Xiao Ning, I won't hide it from you, my dad told me about my family, and the other party is from a big family in Gejiazhuang. But you know, it's you who I like. ”

Zhao Xiaoning's expression was calm, but there was a faint pain in his heart. Although he had thought about this for a long time, it still hurt in his heart when it really happened.

Wang Erya's father is named Wang Yukun, although he is the village chief of Zhaojiatun, he is a very powerful and money-loving person. When his family was rich, he married Wang Erya to himself in order to tie up his father, and now that his father is dead, Wang Yukun will definitely dissolve the marriage contract.

"Brother Xiao Ning, what are you thinking? Answer me quickly. Wang Erya looked anxious.

Zhao Xiaoning smiled reluctantly and said, "This is a good thing." ”

"What did you say?" Wang Erya looked at him with an incredulous face, obviously not expecting him to say this.

Zhao Xiaoning took a deep breath: "I said this is a good thing. You just listened to Uncle Yukun's arrangement, after all, he is your father and will not harm you. ”

"Brother Xiao Ning, what do you mean by this, don't you like me?" Wang Erya looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Zhao Xiaoning smiled miserably, like, Do I still have the qualifications to like you?

"Erya, actually, I've never liked you. The reason why I am married to you is also because of the two families, and in my heart you are like my sister. Zhao Xiaoning said calmly. But the pain in his heart was like a cigarette scar, and it became more and more painful, making him unable to breathe.

"Zhao Xiaoning, I hate you. Wang Erya hid her face and left, and her heart-rending cry was like a sharp blade, piercing directly into Zhao Xiaoning's heart.

Zhao Xiaoning smiled, smiling very happily. Because he had long wanted to cut off the relationship with Wang Erya, because he knew that he couldn't give Erya a good life, and now that he had broken off the relationship, he was also relieved.

It's just that tears welled up in his eyes when he laughed and laughed. Squatting on the ground and holding his head and crying, eight years of companionship with each other, he has long regarded Wang Erya as the most precious person in this life, although he really wants to grow old with her, but he knows that if it is really for Wang Erya's good, the best way is to leave her.

Zhao Xiaoning, who was hugging his head and crying, didn't notice it at all, and when his tears fell on the ground, it was as if they had been absorbed by a sponge, leaving not even a trace.

In the blink of an eye, the sunset was set, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the horizon, and bursts of cooking smoke rose in the sky above Zhaojiatun.

Zhao Xiaoning, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, stood up, looked at the graveyard full of weeds, and said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, I'm leaving, I'll come to see you when I have time." As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Zhao Jiatun.

When he walked to the land temple at the west end of the village, Zhao Xiaoning suddenly stopped, because he clearly saw that the stone statue of the land lord in the land temple was glowing, yes, it was like a luminous stone, emitting a crystal white light.

The so-called Land Temple is not really a temple, but a small building more than a meter high. The stone statue inside is only more than half a meter high, and its main role is to play the role of sacrifice.

"Why is the stone statue of the Lord of the Earth bright?" Zhao Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, and then strode over.
