Under the illumination of the setting sun, two long shadows were refracted on the side of the road, looking at the distant peaks, Shi Lei sighed lightly, slowly closed his eyes, and at the corner of his eyes, a teardrop slowly fell, and in his heart, silently called,

"Father, mother, Lei Lei misses you so much......"

Childhood memories emerge from the depths of my mind, plateau, Taihu Lake, the vision follows the lake to the center, to a small island, a few green farmland, an independent courtyard, a few warm huts, in the courtyard, from time to time, there are a few joyful laughter.

The scene of family life together is reproduced again, and the young self is very naughty, often sticking to his mother and sister, causing some small troubles.

I still clearly remember that whenever I got into trouble, my mother always showed a loving smile on her face, and my father was angry, and at this time, my sister protected me and quickly fled the scene.

However, all this changed seven years ago, and I remember that it was a sunny morning, and the sky was cloudless, and my father let me enter a complex circle, and although I didn't know what it was at the time, I still listened to the arrangement to enter and meditate on it.

After entering the formation, at first, it felt very comfortable, as if soaking in a hot spring, after a while, the body began to be a little hot, but it was bearable, but in the end, I only felt that something suddenly gushed out of my body and hit my brain, and the feeling was like a thunderclap exploding above my head, and then a pain that seemed to tear my soul quickly spread throughout my body, and finally I fainted because I couldn't bear the continuous pain.

When I woke up again, several days had passed, and when I woke up, I found that my father and sister were gone, and since then, my mother's face has lost its old smile, and a few days later, my father returned from outside and brought back a drop-shaped blood red crystal for himself.

More than a month later, my sister also returned from outside, and brought back a large number of pills, and then left again in a hurry, since then, rarely appeared, a few months until two years later in the morning, I woke up from my sleep, everything at home is the same, only the figure of the family is not seen, panicked on the island stumbling looking for the figure of the family, I don't know how long it took, I can't remember whether I was hungry, or tired, and finally fell asleep on a bluestone on the side of the island.

When I woke up again, I was already in the endless mountains, and there was a woman in blue beside me, this woman, Shi Lei knew, was one of his father's disciples, named Lan Yue.

After some conversation, I learned that my parents had gone out because of something, so I let myself go back to Niutoushan's grandmother's house with Lan Yue, and after coming to Xiaoshan Niu Village, Lan Yue talked with my grandmother for a while, and then left alone.

For a long time since Lan Yue left, it was difficult for him to adapt to the new environment, and he would always run to the side of the path that Senior Sister Lan Yue walked when she left, and look into the distance along the path of Lan Yue's departure, hoping that in the next second, a miracle would come, and his parents would lead his sister to pick him up and go home.

"Watch out for the stones."

A warm reminder brought Shi Lei back to reality from his memories.

didn't hear Shi Lei's response, Xu Hong walked forward, turned sideways slightly, looked at Shi Lei with his eyes, and when he saw the tears left on Shi Lei's little face, a wave of anger suddenly surged into his heart, and he secretly scolded angrily in his heart,

"Gangzi, you bastard......"

Seeing that the door of the house was in front of him, Xu Hong suppressed the anger in his heart, let out a sigh of relief, and said softly, "Xiao Lei, when you get home, pat the dust on your body, so that you don't have to worry about being seen by your grandmother."

Shi Lei, who had just come back to his senses, didn't notice Xu Hong's changes, and after agreeing, he quickly sorted out his clothes, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, followed Xu Hong's footsteps, and walked towards the door.

Grandma's house is located on the northeast side of the village, at the end of the village, ordinary three-way courtyard, sitting north and facing south, it belongs to a common category in the mountain village, the simple greening in the courtyard, bluestone paving, the small courtyard is only organized by the aunt, giving people a warm feeling.

Entering the house, the first thing I saw was my aunt, around her was a dozen chicks who had just come out of the eggshell, pecking at the feeding food, and the chicks looked cute and cute, making people have an urge to hold them in the palm of their hands.

Perhaps hearing the sound of footsteps, the aunt's eyes looked at the door, and after seeing Shi Lei, a caring smile appeared on her face.

My uncle's name is Wang Xinyi, a gentle and virtuous woman, who has lived in the city since she was a child, and perhaps her uncle has a unique personal charm to marry her into this mountain.

However, over the years, the idyllic life in the mountain village has not left too many traces on her, and she still looks young and beautiful, giving people the feeling that she is only about thirty years old.

Her eyes are always full of warmth, which makes Shi Lei feel the care from a mother's love, it can be said that if there is no uncle, I really don't know what I will become now.

Seeing the two coming back, Wang Xinyi put down the bowl in her hand, came to the two of them, looked at the two of them, showed a trace of displeasure on her face, and glared at Xu Hong with sad eyes,

"What did you let Lei Lei do again, look at this body, it's all covered in loess."

Regarding Wang Xinyi's questioning, Xu Hong just smiled stupidly, "It's all big and small, and I can help a little,"

Hearing this, Wang Xinyi gave a roll of the eyes again, and said, "How old is Xiao Lei, you just let him work, and I will tell our mother to go in a while," After speaking, he took off the towel on his shoulder and shook off the dust behind Shi Lei.

Shi Lei pretended to be unhappy and said, "Uncle, Xiao Lei has grown up,"

Wang Xinyi looked at Shi Lei's pretending to be angry, in exchange for a burst of laughter like a silver bell, "Yes, our Xiao Lei has grown into an adult." ”

Taking advantage of Shi Lei's attention, Xu Hong brought the ingredients back to the pool by the well and washed them, and occasionally, glanced in the direction of the two of them.

"By the way, is my eldest brother back?" At this time, Shi Lei thought of his eldest brother Xu Wei and hurriedly asked.

Wang Xinyi's tone was mixed with a hint of helplessness, and she said slowly: "No, I will come back with a letter and say, what kind of competition do you want to participate in, and you should prepare in a hurry." ”

Hearing the news that Xu Wei did not come back, Shi Lei couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

Looking at Shi Lei's expression, Wang Xinyi said softly: "Xiao Lei, don't be disappointed, hurry up and let your uncle take you to the city to see if your eldest brother is okay." ”

"Really?" Shi Lei asked a little happily,

However, as soon as the voice changed, he continued: "Forget it! To go to the city, you have to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads, and it is too troublesome to take a car, the uncle is so busy, the eldest brother will definitely come back next month. ”

Wang Xinyi gently touched Shi Lei's little face, and said softly: "That's okay, whatever you want, go back to the house, write the homework assigned by the teacher, and start the meal in a while,"

"Hmm," Shi Lei smiled and nodded, and walked towards the west wing.

The west wing is a three-room room, the one on the far left, the layout of the bedroom in the house, the furniture used is complete, and there is also a bookcase in the room, which is full of various books, most of which are medical skills.

According to my grandmother, this was the place where my mother lived, and these books were left by my mother, and I cherished these books very much, just because they were a sustenance, and some of the notes in them could make me feel free to miss my mother.

After coming to my grandmother's house, when I missed my mother, I often looked at these books, perhaps because of my mother's notes, I gradually became obsessed with these books, and I have read them all over the past few years.

Back in his cabin, Shi Lei came to the desk and took off his schoolbag, took out the scorpion bottle and poured a few scorpions into the porcelain jar at the foot of the table, observed the porcelain jar, sealed the mouth of the jar, and began to review his homework.

Dozens of minutes later, Shi Lei closed his textbook and picked up a thick nameless book on the table, which was a medical book annotated in ancient Chinese characters, mainly recording acupuncture points, meridians and acupuncture skills.

Gently flipping through the medical book, each page of the book, left the mother's full of notes, the text is neat, easy to understand, and the words are beautiful, although, the pages are full of notes, but there is no trace of chaos, on the contrary, the appearance of notes, so that the pages increase the overall beauty, so that the whole book becomes more colorful.

Whenever I read a book, time always flies, and before I know it, the light in the room gradually dims, and the words on the paper begin to blur, at this time, Shi Lei gently closes the medical book, gets up and moves, and walks outside the house.

Walking out of the hut and looking into the distance, the sun had long disappeared from the western peak, only the last ray of sunlight left in the sky before dusk

In the small courtyard, at this moment, there was an old lady, with a handful of vegetables in her hand that had been cleaned, and with a strong momentum, she urged her uncle to carry firewood to the kitchen.

The old lady is not an outsider, it is Shi Lei's grandmother, Shangguan Jing.

Looking at the appearance of sixty or seventy years old, a white hair is gently coiled up, combed very neatly, although there are some wrinkles on the face, but the complexion is ruddy and shiny, looking much younger, a pair of eyes full of aura, giving people the feeling of an old lady full of energy.

"Grandma," seeing Shangguan Jing, Shi Lei shouted softly, and then trotted forward and snuggled in Shangguan Jing's arms like a coquettish.

After the originally majestic old lady saw Shi Lei, she immediately became full of kindness, her eyes were full of love, and she said with a smile: "Oh, my little baby, let my grandmother take a look." ”

After the old lady's eyes observed Shi Lei, she nodded slightly, "Well, your complexion has recovered well, okay, let's go play, we will have to wait for a while to eat," and then walked into the kitchen.

Looking at the busy figures of Wang Xinyi and her grandmother in the kitchen, Shi Lei stood at the door and asked with a smile: "Grandma, uncle, I'll also help!" ”

"Why did you come in, don't mess up in the kitchen, go play outside." Seeing Shi Lei enter the kitchen, Wang Xinyi said with a blank face.

Seeing Wang Xinyi's expression, Shangguan Jing shook her head lightly, smiled in a low voice, and said, "You, sooner or later, you will spoil him, and you are reluctant to let him do any housework." ”

Hearing this, Wang Xinyi's face appeared shy, and she whispered like a coquettish: "Mother...., this kitchen is smoky, and that is where children stay." ”

At this time, a tentative question came from the courtyard,

"Second grandma, is the meal ready, Tiantian, is it okay to come to your house for dinner tonight?"

Hearing the sound, Shangguan Jing looked outside the house, only to see the little girl Tiantian coming to the kitchen, looking at the kitchen with expectant eyes.

Seeing Xiao Tiantian, Shangguan Jing put down the busyness in his hand, smiled softly, and said: "It's Xiao Tiantian who is here, your little yellow dress is so beautiful, yo, there are tweed embroidered on it, let's wear it Tiantian, it's like a beautiful flower fairy." ”

Listening to Shangguan Jing's praise, the little girl's heart blossomed, and a cute smile appeared on her face, "Yes! Grandma said it looked good, it must be good-looking. ”

At this moment, there was another shout mixed with complaints outside,

"Stone, I'm coming...... You don't know how hard it is to get out of here. ”

Hearing the sound, Shi Lei looked towards the gate, only to see Xiaohu's figure appear at the gate, and the posture of moving between walks did not seem so coordinated.

Seeing Xiaohu's posture, Lei Chai asked tentatively: "Xiaohu, won't you be beaten again?" ”

I saw that Xiaohu, who looked aggrieved, spoke with a slight panting voice, and said: "Alas, you don't know, just now my dad rewarded me with two soles, my dad was happy to reward me twice, and if he was unhappy, he beat him, but I am also used to it." ”

Saying that, Xiaohu also came to the kitchen, and looked into the kitchen with small eyes, "Second grandma, I heard Uncle Hong say, there is something delicious tonight, Xiaohu, I'm here to eat." ”

Shangguan Jing saw Xiaohu's pitiful little appearance, and said comfortingly: "Yo! Let's be chubby, is Xiaogang's bastard boy beating you again, you wait for grandma to warn him when she sees that kid, and see if he dares to beat us in the future."

Hearing the sound, tears suddenly appeared in the eyes of the little tiger, and the little face trembled slightly, "Second grandmother ....."

Seeing the arrival of the two Xiaohu siblings, Shi Lei thought to himself that it was impossible to help in the kitchen, and shook his head lightly and walked outside.

As soon as he left the door, there was a sudden commotion outside the small courtyard.

I saw that the old locust tree outside the courtyard was shaking left and right without knowing what was causing it, and the branches and leaves were affected by the trembling, making a loud noise.
