Chapter 1: Dialogue with the Boar

The winter in the hilly area of Guanzhong is bitterly cold and long, and the drought for four consecutive years has left large areas of land bare under the sun, and when the wind blows and the dust flies, the sky becomes gray.

The world has become a world of loess, people can only cower and survive in the dust, some people die, and it won't be long before they will be covered with loess.

Since ancient times, the tall Qinling Mountains have been a barrier dividing the north and south, and the high mountains and mountains let the loess dust fall on the sunny side of the mountain range, and it is not allowed to invade south!

Lantian County is at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, which is as cold as the Loess Plateau, because of the Qinling Mountains, and it is located at the source of the river, it is not arid here, although it is mostly mountainous, in this idea it is already a rare land of fish and rice in Guanzhong.

A thin green mist wraps around the mountainside, slowly drifting with the morning breeze, making the snow-capped jade mountain disappear from time to time.

In the village at the foot of the mountain, there were two occasional rooster crows, which could not penetrate the mist, and were firmly locked under the mountain, and finally turned into a low whimper.

Unlike the snow-capped, green pines and cypress-covered Jade Mountain, beside it, there is a bare mountain bag.

This mountain was originally overgrown with trees like the rest of the mountain bags, but it was only because of the Yun clan's perseverance in cutting firewood here for many years that this mountain became a bald mountain.

It is said to be a bald mountain, but it is actually overgrown with grass, but compared to the lush jade mountain, it looks a little inconspicuous.

A small, round black dot appeared at the foot of the bald mountain, first looking up at the tall jade mountain, and then firmly began to climb the bald mountain.

The sky gradually brightened, and Yun Zhao's little face became clearer and clearer, and a pair of black eyes that seemed to be able to collect the light made it impossible to take it back.

His body was too young, so Yun Zhao needed to use both his hands and feet to overcome the slippery ground and send his body to the top of the mountain.

The equipment on his body is very unsuitable for climbing the mountain, whether it is Yun Zhaole's silkworm-like cotton jacket, fat cotton pants, clumsy cotton shoes, or an ancestral red tiger head hat on his head, all of them have become obstacles for him to climb the mountain.

Still, he climbed the mountain.

It's just that there are already guests on the bluestone slab that I sit on weekdays.

Yun Zhao still moved to the edge of the bluestone slab with difficulty, so a guest took the initiative to give him a little space.

As soon as the Malaysian Golden Knife sat down, Yun Zhao let out a long breath, the person was too small, and the lung capacity was not enough, so it did not produce the effect of exhaling into an arrow.

The bluestone slab is the sunniest place in winter, and the sun is still behind the jade mountain at this time, Yun Zhao raised his face, let the early morning Bo Xi fall on his red and fluttering fat face, and after a long time, he said to the guests around him: "Do you know who I am?" ”

The guest was indifferent, only a small guest leaned on his body and rubbed hard, and Yun Zhao immediately sat on the ground.

There was still some residual snow on the ground, Yun Zhao didn't feel the pain, patted the snow foam on his buttocks, and sat on the bluestone slab again.

The guests didn't like to listen to him, so he kept his mouth shut, and in the days when the winter was about to pass, basking in the sun was more important than anything else.

The little guest is very easy to talk, but the big guest is not easy to speak, whether it is his fur as hard as armor, or the two fangs that come out of his mouth, and the more than a dozen scars left after the fight with the leopard, all prove that he is the owner of this bluestone slab, and Yun Zhao is a dispensable guest.

A little wild boar with a pattern on his back just came out from under his mother's belly, his belly was bulging, and there were still two drops of ** left at the corner of his mouth.

Yun Zhao thanked the people for their kindness, and politely took out a piece of millet bun from his arms and handed it to the little wild boar.

The big wild boar stood up, stretched out his long nose and sniffed the millet bun in Yun Zhao's hand vigorously, and didn't notice anything wrong, so he slowly climbed down again and continued to suckle a few other little wild boars that were not full.

Yun Zhao broke the bun and fed it to the little wild boar little by little, and the little wild boar ate it very happily.

"I don't actually know who I really am, so I became someone's son......

I always felt that the world was not right, or that I was not right, in short, there was something very wrong with one side.

Xiaoliu, tell me, is it me who is wrong, or is this world wrong?

I've been pretending to be a fool for the past six months, and I'm afraid to speak, for fear that I will drown myself as a monster if I say the wrong thing.

But if I don't speak, I can't do it, I'm a stupid son of a landlord's family has long been famous, if I continue to pretend to be stupid, I think my nominal mother is probably stupid before me.

A widow with a born silly son, if she wants to live, there is only one way left to be strong.

She is not as strong as your mother, and even if you don't have a father, she can take good care of you.

That woman can't do it, her fierceness is all pretended, and it is only in the middle of the night when she hugs me and cries that I can see the hesitation and misery in her eyes.

You may not know that I am the only hope of that widow, she has been miserable for the past few years, and there are always people who want to pass on their son to her, and take care of me in the name of fool, you say, should I become wise? ”

The little wild boar didn't seem to have the time to listen to Yun Zhao's nonsense, he had just finished eating the millet bun, and the fragrance of the grain made him want to stop, so at this moment, he was licking Yun Zhao's hand.

The sun slowly rose, and the bluestone slab became warmer and warmer, and more piglets ate their stomachs and began to stand on the edge of the bluestone slab to bask in the sun, and the huge wild boar seemed to have fallen asleep.

The little wild boar is very well-behaved and very attractive, squatting beside Yun Zhao one by one, thinking about the meaning of life together in front of the rising red sun.

The red sun poked out from the halfway of the Yushan Mountain, lazily hanging there, there was weakness, there was some faint cold fog between the valleys, and when the sun came out, it slowly dispersed.

Once the world becomes bright, everything is illuminated, and the dark mind is steamed by the sun, the world is very boring.

On the other side of the mountain, there is still a mountain, and there is only one gap leading to the distance, and after three turns and two turns, it is also blocked by the hills.

The villages at the foot of the mountain are filled with smoke, but in fact, these cooking smoke does not bring people any good food, but only some thin gruel that can illuminate the human figure.

In winter, there is not much work to do, and the people in Guanzhong, who eat dry when they are busy and eat thin when they are free, will definitely not waste an extra grain of food.

Therefore, such a breakfast did not have any appeal to Yun Zhao......

The big wild boar is actually very warm, so Yun Zhao leans on the belly of the wild boar, there are few fleas and other things on the wild boar in winter, there are many hot springs at the foot of the jade mountain that exude the smell of sulfur, and the wild boar that bathes and washes more diligently than people is naturally cleaner than people.

Although they have been together for half a year, the wild boars have not yet been able to answer Yun Zhao's words, perhaps, they think that talking to this monster with a black body and a red head that walks on two feet is a very cheap behavior to talk to them.

"Her son is a fool himself, and when I came he had an empty head and nothing to pretend to be.

Except for some instinctive consciousness of eating and drinking, it was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, like a shell specially prepared for me.

It made me feel a little guilty, and I didn't know if I had deprived someone of my life or if he had taken advantage of me in the dark.

You say, 'Should I use this body with confidence?'

Tell me, do I look like a thief? ”

The big boar snorted dissatisfiedly, kicked and scratched his itchy belly a few times with his hind legs, and turned over to let the sun bake the other side of his body.

Gossiping in the sun will attract more disgust, Yun Zhao is a polite person, even if he wants to talk very much, he once again closes his mouth.

In the haze, the big wild boar behind Yun Zhao stood up suddenly, letting out a piercing scream, Yun Zhao's small body was overturned by the wild boar, and he only heard a more poignant female voice shouting - "My son......"

Yun Zhao only got up, and saw a woman in a blue jacket jumping out from behind a big rock at great speed, holding a wooden fork in her hand, and bravely rushed towards the huge boar.

Behind her were a dozen big men, but they didn't seem to be able to outrun the small-footed woman, or unwilling to outrun the woman......

The boar hissed, and the eight little boars quickly burrowed under their mother's belly, and the smoke and dust rushed down the other hillside, and soon disappeared into the low bushes.

It's just a daily game for wild boars, and they experience this kind of thing a lot. Yun Zhao had no interest in watching this scene.

However, Yun Zhao could see clearly that the woman in blue had a hideous face, and while running wildly, she was loudly scaring the wild boar, and her mouth was foaming...... Looks like she's really scared!

The wild boar ran away, and the woman threw away the wooden fork and took Yun Zhao into her arms, crying like killing a pig.

"My son, if you have three long and two short, how can you let the mother live, you are damn by God, what are you doing on the mountain before dawn? I'm scared to death for my mother......"

Yun Zhao looked at the woman with tears and snot on her face in a daze, somehow, her heart was very warm, and then raised her hand to wipe the sweat, tears, and snot on the woman's face, but the more these things were rubbed, the more they pressed against the woman's chest, and she could still feel her beating heart.

"Auntie, I'm fine, these pigs are my friends."

The woman continued to howl loudly, and her hands hugged Yun Zhao hard, as if to press him into her body.

Yun Zhao didn't hear what he said, fear seized her consciousness, and she just wanted to protect her lost son in her arms.

After coming back to his senses a little, he wiped the tears on his face, hugged Yun Zhao and looked at those men and said viciously: "Did you lure my son here?" ”

A man in Tsing Yi said helplessly: "The lady of the Yun family, don't do our business, your Xiaolang is sick, and he likes to run to the mountains on weekdays, why do you complain about us?" ”

When Yun Niang heard these words, she was even more angry, and pointed to the man at the head and said: "Yunqi, I can't say that you did it, you have been plotting my orphans and widows for a day or two, and now, do you want to kill my son, so that you can achieve the goal of succeeding your stupid son?"

Let me tell you clearly, even if my son is gone, you don't think about it, the old lady will burn down the Yun family's house with a fire, and she won't leave you a penny! ”

Yun Qi said angrily: "You gave birth to a stupid son, you have already lost the face of the Yun family, over the years, how much has the Yun family's fields, waterways, mountains, and Chai Mountain been encroached upon by the surname Qian?"

It's because the patriarch of my Yun clan is a fool, and I passed my son on to you, not as dirty as you think, but for our Yun clan, so that my Yun clan will no longer be bullied by others. ”

Yun Niang sneered and said, "Your son is stronger than mine?" ”

Yun Qi snorted coldly and said, "You love your son so much, let your son call you a mother first!" ”

Yun Niang looked at her son in her arms with a little weakness, but found that her son was looking at her with a smile, turning a pair of big black eyes and calling out crisply, "Mother!" ”

Yun Niang was ecstatic, hugged Yun Zhao tightly, her lips rained down on her son's face, and after kissing enough, she laughed and said to Yun Qi: "Whoever dares to say that my son is a fool in the future, the old lady will tear his mouth apart, and take back all the land rented to them, and starve you poor people with no conscience." ”

Yun Qi stared at Yun Zhao in Yun Niang's arms, and after a while, he arched his hand and said: "It's not a big deal to call my mother, I can read!" ”

Yun Zhao hugged his mother's neck to avoid Yun Qi's gaze and said, "Mother, I'll study with Mr. tomorrow, okay?" ”

"Okay, good, good, my mother will invite you the best gentleman tomorrow!"

Yun Niang's smile floated from the root of her neck, quickly spread to her whole body, and finally overflowed her face, and she didn't know where she got the strength, a pair of thin arms actually lifted the fat Yun Zhao high, and shouted at the men present with all her strength: "My son is going to study, my son is not a fool!" ”

Yun Qi froze, and only after a while did he mutter: "Your son has fallen into evil, I saw it just now, he is talking to the wild boar spirit, he is a monster!" ”

Yun Niang chuckled: "Even if it is an evil spirit, it is also the evil of the ancestors of the Yun family, it is the old ancestor who sees my orphans and widows are miserable, and sends this wild boar spirit to enlighten my son."

Yunqi, listen to me, from today onwards, all the paddy fields of your tenants will be recovered, and if you want to eat, go to the dry mountains to dig food, if you dare to frame my son again, the old lady will ask for the family law, and it is not countable to die! ”

Yun Qi said angrily: "The Yun clan is not your own Yun clan. ”

Yun Niang sneered: "Even if you want to open an ancestral hall, you have to wait until next autumn, you can get through the years of green and yellow next year." ”

After speaking, she took Yun Zhao down the bald mountain first, her heart was very happy, her eyes looked at the son in her arms without blinking, and the wind was under her feet, and she couldn't wait to step back to Yunjia Zhuangzi in one step, announcing to everyone that the son she gave birth to was not a fool.

Yun Zhao lay in his mother's arms, rested his head on her shoulder, looked at the group of wild boars that had already turned the foot of the mountain, beckoned them from afar, and said goodbye to them.

From today on, he completely let go of his heart and fused with this body wholeheartedly.

From this day forward, he will be the son of this woman, named Yun Zhao!
