The sky is slightly bright, and the morning sun is slowly climbing up from the horizon.

The first rooster cries in the old countryside revitalize the dormant village.

In the small town of northern Jiangsu, in a quaint courtyard in the east of Xinliu Village.

A family of three also woke up from sleep when the sun was rising.

"Daddy, this kid's fever has subsided." Early in the morning, the woman opened her eyes and walked to the unconscious young man who had been found halfway up the hill last night, and stretched out her hand and touched the young man's head.

Last night, after the family of three helped the young man back from the mountain, Xiao An found a few antipyretic pills for him to eat, and overnight, the young man's fever subsided.

"Whew, it's good to get rid of the fever." Xiao An's father smiled and sighed: "This kid's forehead was hot last night, and it really scared me." ”

"Dad, Mom, is he okay?" Early in the morning, Xiao An climbed out of bed and looked curiously at the young man lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

"The fever is gone, he should be fine."

Xiao An's mother had a gentle smile on her face, and as she spoke, she put on her apron and walked out of the room, saying, "You two will wait a while, I'll cook for you." ”

In the room, two men, one old and one young, stared at the young man, and after a while, Xiao An looked at his father with big eyes and asked, "Dad, didn't you say that his fever has subsided, why hasn't he woken up yet?" ”

"This"

The middle-aged man was stunned, and when he heard his son's words, he also touched his head in confusion, and said, "This kid should have had a fever for a while, and his body has not fully recovered, so he should be fine later." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao An saw the eyelids of the young man in front of him suddenly move slightly, and after that, the young man opened his confused eyes.

"Dad, Dad, look, he's awake." Xiao An shouted in surprise, and the man hurriedly looked at the young man on the bed when he heard his son's words, and the young man slowly opened his eyes.

"Young man, are you awake, are you still feeling well?"

"I'm so thirsty and want to drink water." The young man opened his silent eyes, only to feel a pain in his throat, and his chapped lips gently spat out a few hoarse sounds.

"Xiao An, go and pour a glass of water."

Xiao An nodded, hurriedly walked to the table next to the door, picked up a kettle, and slowly brought a bowl of water to the young man.

"Goo-goo-goo." The white-haired young man took the porcelain bowl handed over by Xiao An, craned his neck and poured all the water in the bowl into his mouth in one go.

A bowl of water entered the stomach, and the young man's pale face became a little better.

The young man opened his confused eyes and looked around, and finally put his eyes on the father and son who were sitting beside him and looked at him with a concerned face, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is this, who are you?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao An was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly returned: "This is Xinliu Village, my name is Qing An'an, and next to me is my father." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and smiled gently: "Young man, my name is Qing Shuli, and the one who is cooking outside is my wife, Liu Yucui." ”

After introducing himself, Qing Shuli looked at the young man in front of him with a confused look in his eyes, and hurriedly said: "We found you on the west mountain in the west of the village last night, when your head was hot and you had a fever, so we took you home." ”

Qing Shuli said as he took the empty porcelain bowl in the young man's hand, and asked with a smile: "Young man, which village are you from, why did you run to the West Mountain?" ”

"Me?" The young man was stunned.

Qing Shuli's words made him confused.

yes, who is he and why is he here?

The young man's brows furrowed, everything seemed to be blank, and he couldn't think of anything.

"Hiss" The young man gasped, and his head felt like it exploded just as soon as he thought about it.

Xiao An saw the big brother in front of him suddenly show a painful look on his face, and then he fell on the bed with his head in his arms, his face full of hideousness.

"I, who the hell am I? How did I end up here?! ”

The young ** roared, jumped out of bed and ran out of the door, he raised his neck and looked at the clear blue sky, his eyes were full of confusion, where is he, and who is he?

"Dad, he, what's wrong with this big brother?"

Xiao An saw the white-haired young man running out with his head covered like crazy, his little head shrank, but he still boldly looked at the person outside the door.

"I think the fever must have burned the young man's head." Qing Shuli sighed softly, stood up and walked out of the door, looked at the confused young man standing under the sun, and said: "Child, don't worry, I think you should be a child of a nearby village, I will go out today to inquire, and ask if there is a family in the nearby village whose family is lost, and I will send you back when the time comes." ”

The young man heard the words of the middle-aged man behind him, but did not answer him.

The white-haired man just kept his eyes wide open, looking at the sky in a trance, and his heart was always around that question.

Who is he? Why is it here?

"Child, don't stand stupidly, eat first, after eating, I will go with the child and his father to inquire, and I will definitely send you home."

Liu Yucui walked out of the boiler room in a hurry, holding a pot of gnocchi soup in her hand, and while she was talking, she smiled and commanded her son, and said, "Xiao An, there is still a plate of dough I just fried in the kitchen, you take it out quickly, let's have breakfast." ”

"Uh-huh," Xiao An nodded obediently and walked to the kitchen, and when he walked in front of the white-haired young man, he smiled on his thin little face, two tiger teeth appeared from his mouth, and said, "Big brother, you better eat first, my parents will definitely find your parents for you." ”

The young man, when he heard Xiao An's words, he turned his head and glanced at the immature big boy next to him, and the corners of his mouth flashed a smile that was not just bitter but also gentle, and Xiao An saw him nod lightly.

At the dinner table, a family of three turned into four.

The mysterious young man was chewing bread with his mouth, but his eyes were staring blankly at the ground, stunned.

After a while, the lively Xiao An still broke the silence at the dinner table.

"Big brother, what's your name?"

"Me?" The young man pointed to himself, and when he saw Xiao An nodding, he smiled bitterly, and the color of confusion appeared in his eyes again, and he replied, "I don't know what my name is." ”

"Xiao An, eat." Liu Yucui stretched out her chopsticks and hit the edge of Xiao An's bowl, gave him a blank look, and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

As soon as Xiao An stuck out his tongue, he knew that his mother blamed him for mentioning the sadness of young people, so he lowered his head and continued to eat.

It's just that Xiao An still looked at the strange young man in front of him curiously.

Young people in the countryside are accustomed to the wind and sun, and most of them have dark skin, but this white-haired big brother is not only not black but also very fair.

Especially the big brother's eyes, although the eyes are full of confusion, his eyes are shining, and there is an indescribable charm.

Xiao An's family, somehow, felt a sense of intimacy when they saw this young man.

"Young man, you will stay in our house today, I will go to the village chief to inquire about whether anyone in the nearby village has been lost, and I should be able to find out where your home is when I come back in the evening."

The young man lowered his head, and when he heard Qing Shuli's words, he didn't make a sound, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

And Qing Shuli, in a blink of an eye, glanced at his wife, and saw the sigh in the other party's eyes.

The words were not said thoroughly, but Qing Shuli and Liu Yucui knew in their hearts that the young man in front of him, who was dumbfounded, should have a fever and was stupid.

Thinking that he was a good young man, he became a fool for no reason, and the two couples felt bad for a while.

At three o'clock in the morning, Xiao An went to school after breakfast.

Liu Yucui went to the ground with a hoe, and Qing Shuli, who couldn't do heavy work, pulled Qin Guanxi and walked out of the house.

A tall mansion in the middle of the village, the home of the village chief.

"Knock knock" Qing Shuli straightened his face, smiled, raised his arm and knocked three times on the big red iron door of the village chief's house.

"Who?" Inside the iron gate, a shrill voice reached the door, and after that, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman in a big red dress twisted her waist and walked out.

The middle-aged woman's face was covered with makeup powder, making her look like a white ghost, Qing Shuli was obviously used to seeing the appearance of the woman in front of her with grease and powder, but she didn't care about it in her heart.

When Qing Shuli saw the woman walking out of the room, he nodded and smiled, and said, "His second aunt, it's me." ”

"Hey, isn't this Brother Qing, why didn't you come to our house to recuperate honestly?" The woman's voice was shrill, and there was an indescribable hint of badness in her tone.

Qing Shuli smiled awkwardly, but he was a little annoyed in his heart, as a man, it was already very uncomfortable for his wife to go out to do some work in the field, and what he was most annoyed to hear was that others said that he was sick.

However, Qing Shuli knew that this girl was the village chief's unruly aunt, a well-known shrew in Xinliu Village, Qing Shuli squeezed out a smile on her face, but she didn't have the same knowledge as her.

"His second aunt, let me ask, is the village chief at home, I have something to look for him."

"Old man, the eldest brother of the Qing family is looking for you." When the middle-aged woman heard that she had come to his house to find her husband, she suddenly lost interest, and hurriedly raised her neck and shouted behind her.

Not long after a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a bald head slowly walked out of the red lacquer door, the big-bellied man frowned obviously when he saw Qing Shuli outside the door, and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "Brother Qing, why did you come to me?" ”

The village chief and he are always afraid of typical snobs, Qing Shuli is notoriously poor in their village, and the poor come to him, either begging him to borrow money or begging him to do things, and these two are the most annoying things for Liu Dafu, the village head of Xinliu Village.

In his opinion, Qing Shuli came to him, which was definitely not a good thing.

Therefore, Liu Dafu didn't have a good face when he looked at Qing Shuli.
