Four gusts of wind

The sun went from the east to the west.

On the way, the shadows of the two were stretched very long, and at the end, the two shadows met, like two rivers flowing down from different high mountains into one. In fact, there can be another way of saying that the place where the two shadows meet is the source of the river, just like the Yangtze River and the Lancang River. The Yangtze River and the Lancang River come out of Tanggula Mountain together, heading in different directions, but eventually both merge into the sea.

"Tell me about it again?" "

He looked at his brother expectantly, as if he were waiting for a fairy tale. Also, where do children in poor mountain villages get fairy tales to listen to, and some are just some bizarre folklore and descriptions of the strange world outside.

The elder brother looked at the very beautiful flowers on the side of the road, and his eyes were full of joy, curiosity, etc. In fact, for my brother, this is not the outside world. He had never been home, and his brother had come to his grandmother's house for the first time, and before, because he was too young, he had been kept at home by the family, and the farthest he had ever been was across a village. Now the world in front of me is so novel and interesting for my brother.

"My family, there is a big white dog, two cows, dozens of sheep, and two houses. One is at the foot of the mountain, and the other is a little higher. Grandpa said that the taller house was built by my parents when they got married, but I haven't seen my parents until now, so I don't know what they look like. "

Father.

Mom.

These are two very foreign words to him. In his memory, these two words have nothing to do with him. He also often heard his uncle call his grandmother to be a mother, and his grandfather to do it, and he also asked his grandmother out of curiosity as a child. He asked his grandmother if he had any parents, and every time she would tell him kindly, her parents were working hard to buy him meat in a distant place. He didn't understand anything, he only knew that he had a father and a mother, but these two words seemed to have a dispensable place in his life.

"I don't know what my mom and dad look like, and I haven't seen them. "

"Grandpa said, my mom and dad are your mom and dad. "

"Really?".

He looked at his brother with wide eyes, as if how incredible and surprising this event was.

"Hmm. Grandpa also said, your grandparents are my grandparents. "

"Really?".

"That's what Grandpa told me. "

As he walked, his brother suddenly stopped.

A few meters in front is my grandmother's pigsty, and five or six meters further is my grandmother's yard, and on the left side of the yard is an abandoned cowshed. The barn was built very high, the pillars on which it was built were large, and the high barn was a little sloping, like a giant about to fall. My grandmother's house was on the right side of the yard and was blocked by a pigsty, so you had to walk through it to see it. There was a tree next to the pigsty, not very tall, but with large leaves, and at this moment, my brother's eyes were fixed on that tree.

"Tell me again, what else did Grandpa tell you?"

He asked curiously, but his brother stared at the tree as if he hadn't heard.

"What kind of tree is this?".

He looked in the direction his brother pointed and playfully returned.

"This is a grapefruit tree, and in autumn it grows big and round pomelos, which are sweet and sour. "

"Grapefruit tree." "

My brother muttered.

"Why, don't you have a grapefruit tree over there?"

"No, it's the first time I've seen a tree. "

My brother imagined in his mind what it looked like, what kind of flavor did it taste like? Like my brother said, sweet and sour, sweet and sour, it grows on trees, oranges?

"I also grow oranges at home, which are also sweet and sour, but the orange tree in my house is not as tall as it. "

"Oranges, sometimes my grandmother will buy some when she goes to the market, and they taste better than grapefruit." "

While the two were talking, the uncle walked down the hill on the right with a plucked chicken in his hand, and said with a smile when he saw the brothers.

"I'm back, come inside and sit down, I'll have a good meal tonight." "

Seeing the chicken in the uncle's hand, the brothers couldn't help but swallow their saliva, nodded and ran to the house.

"Slow down. "

Seeing that the two of them were running fast, the brother-in-law shouted from behind.

My brother entered the room first, and his face was full of anticipation, but after entering the room and glancing at it, the anticipation on his face slowly faded. He came in after his brother, and when he saw that his brother's face was wrong, he hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong?".

"Grandpa is home. "

The elder brother lowered his head, and there was some grievance in his tone.

At this time, my grandmother came out of the kitchen with dust on her hands, and she couldn't help complaining when she saw the brothers.

"Oh, two little ancestors, why did you come back?"

"Mom, the chickens are done. The uncle walked into the house with the chicken, and his face was happy, "What do you want me to do next?".

After saying that, he moved his gaze to the brothers and saw that something was wrong with his brother.

"Mao, what's wrong with my brother?".

"He said Grandpa was coming home. "

He didn't know what was wrong, so he could only repeat his brother's words in confusion.

Grandma heard it at once, she waved her hand and beckoned her uncle to take the chicken to the kitchen, and then slowly walked to her brother's side, stretched out her hand and gently touched his brother's head.

"Jun, be obedient, play with your brother at Grandma's for a few days first, and Grandpa will come to pick you up in a few days." Not only to pick you up, but then you will go home with your brother, um. "

As soon as he heard that he was going to his brother's house, his eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.

"Really, I'm going to my brother's house?"

"Well, grandpa will come to pick you up in a few days, and you and your brother will go back together." "

"Great. "

He jumped happily, while his brother still lowered his head and looked aggrieved.

"Obedient, let's go to play with my brother first, and I'll go stew chicken for you." "

"Hmm. "

The elder brother still lowered his head and slowly turned around and walked out the door, while the younger brother jumped up and down behind. When the brothers walked out of the house, the brother-in-law also happened to come out of the kitchen. Grandma looked back at her uncle and said.

"You go and take them to play, don't go too far, I'll call you when you're ready." "

"Got it. "

With that, the brother-in-law also walked outside the house.

The sun sets very slowly in the summer, and the joy of childhood stretches out for a long time.

Opposite my grandmother's house was a hill like a giant tortoise, with a stream at the foot of the mountain. The source of the brook was at the head of the tortoise, and there was a spring from which the water flowed, and was stopped by the hill and flowed in two directions, and then converged at the tail of the tortoise, and flowed into the stream where he and his brother bathed.

The chirping of cicadas in summer came from the giant tortoise-like hill and reached the ears of the brothers, which is the unique charm of summer and the unique memory of childhood. Maybe they don't realize it now, but when the two grow up ten or twenty years later, every time they hear the familiar cicada chirping in their ears, their minds will recall their childhood when they bathed in the river together when they were children.

"Brother, I really want to go home and see what home is like." "

He looked up at the mountain.

I still remember that on a night of lightning and thunder, he and his grandmother were sitting at the door of their house, and they saw with their own eyes a thunder falling from the sky and slamming it on the mountain. The thunder and lightning split the branches of the tree, and the branches were strung together, just as he was frightened by the thunder and lightning at that time.

home, what a strange place; Family, a word that never came to mind. At this moment, he fantasized about the appearance of home, and the home in his brother's mouth should be the same as that of his grandmother, with a stream that is neither wide nor narrow, a cowpen and an old ox, and people like his uncle and aunt ......

There was another world outside of his grandmother's house, a strange place, but that strange and distant place, where he would finally stop forever.
