Four gusts of wind

The aunt stood in the courtyard and shouted towards the house. In the dim room, two thin figures could be seen busy, and then a perfunctory sentence was over.

The aunt sighed and complained that the brothers were like little girls.

Grandma and brother-in-law stood beside my aunt, one looking around with nothing to do, and the other with a worried face.

"Remember, when you go to the market, you must hold their hands, don't get lost when there are too many people." "

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll take them to buy two clothes, and you're going to sell them." "

The aunt replied impatiently to her grandmother's words, and her grandmother opened her mouth and stopped talking.

"Two slugs, aren't you okay?"

"Here we are. "

A childish voice came back from the room, and then the two brothers walked out quickly, one after the other, their hair washed clean, and not a trace of dust on their clothes could be seen.

"There's nothing to sort out, why is it so slow." "

The aunt pinched their faces and said through gritted teeth.

"It's all Ermao, he grinds hard, and he can wear a shoe for a minute or two." "

My brother hurriedly threw the pot at him, his mouth was not as good as his brother, and he couldn't spit out a word when his anxious mouth opened for a long time.

"I know that I bullied your brother, I think you are the one who grinds." "

The aunt gently knocked on her brother's head, and the brother pretended to be in pain and touched his head and replied aggrievedly.

"I've been waiting for him to be okay. "

The aunt didn't want to tease the two of them anymore, and turned to face her grandmother.

"Mom, we're leaving. "

After speaking, they took a step and walked in the direction of the grapefruit tree, and the two brothers jumped up and down behind them, and also learned the tone of the aunt to say goodbye to their grandmother.

Not far away, the aunt suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped and turned back.

"Zihong, do you have anything I need to bring?"

"No, just take care of them. "

"Why are you as verbose as your mother?" "

After complaining, the aunt walked forward without looking back.

Walking out of the village, the brothers couldn't wait to climb the mountain behind their grandmother's house on the left, and the aunt hurriedly stopped.

"Slug, not that way. "

"Isn't it this way to go to the Cowherd?".

Both brothers looked at their aunt suspiciously.

Seeing this, the aunt couldn't help laughing, and then pretended to reply mysteriously.

"Who told you to go to the Cowherd, let's go to Daxing." "

"Daxing?".

He was even more puzzled, and his doubts were full of some anticipation.

Daxing, I've never heard of this place, let alone been there, for unfamiliar place names, if you can get in touch with the start of school, won't it become a capital to brag with your classmates?

"Where is Daxing?".

My brother asked expectantly.

"You'll know when you go, come with me." "

The aunt waved her hand, and the brothers followed again.

At first, the path they were walking was familiar. Out of the village they walked into a dirt road, which went around a small hill to the river, and then walked to the right along the bank to the place where they had a picnic. On the road, the fragrance of the river and the elegance of the flowers go hand in hand, even if this road has walked countless ways, but every time you walk, you will be very happy.

Further on, it was unknown to the brothers, and this is the farthest they have ever been in this direction.

"Auntie, can you really get to Daxing along this route?"

Doubts and curiosity, when he arrived, he changed from the unfamiliar name of the place at the beginning to a strange road, how did it go, how far, what was it? Every question tugged at his heart, and the novelty of the unknown world occupied all his thoughts, and he longed to eat them all in one bite, and get a glimpse of them in an instant.

"Just follow me." "

Walked far, far away, along the river over mountain after mountain, and the road had no end in sight. The scenery on the side of the road is indeed beautiful, but even the most beautiful scenery can be overshadowed by the sore legs and feet when you look at the overlapping peaks in the distance.

"Auntie, how far is it?".

He was so tired that he couldn't straighten his back, but his brother walked with ease, and even ran as if they weren't walking the same distance.

"Come on, climb over that mountain and you'll be there." "

"You've said this many times. "

"It's real this time, come on. "

He took a deep breath, chose to believe his aunt, and walked forward.

When I bypassed the mountain that my aunt said, the town I was looking forward to did not appear, and in front of me, there was only a cement house next to the sand and gravel. However, the river became wider and deeper in front, and the banks of the river became high cliffs, and there was indeed no way.

"Auntie, where's Daxing?"

"Don't worry, it'll be there soon." "

is still this sentence, all the way he said, his expectations for Daxing are not as enthusiastic as they began at the beginning, only his brother is still yearning.

"Auntie, is it a big deal?"

"It's about the same as a cowherd." "

After speaking, the aunt led the two of them to continue walking.

The concrete house is getting closer, and one end of the house is next to the river, which is noticeably darker in color than it was along the way. With the house as the boundary, the river seems to have become two, one like an adult he can't read, and the other like the immaturity he has walked all the way.

Further on, a small boat hidden by a house loomed, and there were sparse figures walking around on it.

The closer it gets, the clearer the figure of the boat becomes, and the spring breeze blows, it is like a lonely child in the vast river, lying there quietly, no playmates, no entertainment, only endless numbness.

"Haven't been on a boat, have you?"

Both shook their heads.

"I'm going to take you to a seat today." "

There are not many people on the boat, but the sound is very lively, and walking up is like stepping into a lively street, and the limited number of people has become countless shops and stalls. Faintly, he heard people shouting loudly, some people bowing their heads and bargaining, and the sound of noisy footsteps filling the entire street, like the scene before the Chinese New Year.

"Yo, Xiaoxue, you're here too?".

The people on the boat greeted the aunt, and the aunt responded with a smile.

"Yes, take my eldest sister's two babies to Daxing to buy a few clothes." "

The man listened, and looked at them.

"These are A-Ying's two babies, both of them are so big!".

He was tired of hearing these words, and almost every adult saw them say this, and felt that the person who said it was as familiar to him before, but he did not know them.

"By the way, is your A-Ying coming back this year?"

"No, they are so stressed, how can they have time to come back." "

He looked around for a quiet place, and suddenly caught a glimpse of no one in the direction of the bow of the boat, and was about to pass, but was pulled by his brother again.

"Auntie, are we going to the bow of the boat?".

The aunt glanced at them and said impatiently.

"Go, go, don't get too close to the guardrail." "

"Got it. "

With the permission of his aunt, his brother pulled him to the bow of the boat.

"These two babies are still so young, you can rest assured that they will stay at the bow of the boat by themselves?"

Behind him, voices he didn't like were still coming.

"It's okay, the baby at this stage can rest assured." "

As he ran, passing by the wheelhouse, he caught a glimpse of a bed inside, and on the other side of the bed was something he couldn't read, which was supposed to be a tool to control the ship. He felt comfortable in a small space, and fantasized that it would be nice if it was his own small space.

Running to the bow of the boat, the sound was still audible, but it was no longer audible, and the small chirping was like the sound of the river flowing water, as if it were absent in this quiet mountain.

He lay on the guardrail, swept away the fatigue of the road and looked forward quietly, the cliffs have been spreading, like this river, there is no end, and the white stone walls are dotted with shrubs, like a painting on paper.

This scenery is not like the way it came, it is like the poems taught by Mr. Ran, and it is full of pen and ink at a glance.

While the brothers were mesmerized by the view, a man slightly older than Uncle came out of the wheelhouse, with fluffy hair and blank eyes, and walked mechanically to the cabin. After a while, he walked back in the same manner, and saw his brothers remind them that the boat was about to leave, and let them stay away from the guardrail, and then went into the wheelhouse again.

The two brothers looked at each other a few times and took two steps back.

I heard a rumble from the stern of the boat, and then a push back felt violently hit, and the two brothers almost fell. Seeing this, they hurriedly grabbed the guardrail to stabilize their figures.

The boat moved slowly forward, rumbling over the voices of people behind it. The first time they took the boat, the brothers were inevitably excited, they looked at the water curiously, under the boat, the current began to surge waves, they were like the flowers and plants on the shore, they were slowly retreating, waving goodbye to them while retreating.

The ship opened.

The

brothers looked forward in amazement, and the waterfowl, frightened by the roar of the boat, waved their wings and flew to both sides, some on the branches of the trees on the shore, some on the cliffs, and on the rocks, and they chirped at the boat, as if to scold the boat for disturbing their peace.

The

little port grew farther and farther away, and the house grew smaller and smaller, and gradually, there was only an endless river and lush mountain peaks behind it. The cliff on the right has turned into one mountain after another, and at the foot of the mountain, there are fields on the bank of the river, some of which are even submerged by the river, and only lotus leaves can be seen floating on the surface. On the other side, there were still cliffs with white rocks, but the birds became fewer, but one by one wild ducks emerged and burrowed into the water, attracting the attention of the brothers.

"Brother, let's grab them and roast them, right?"

He pointed to the wild ducks on the water, and his mind was already in his mind of them plucking their feathers and roasting them on the fire.

"How do you catch it?" We have to go down and feed the fish halfway through swimming. "

As the boats traveled for longer and longer, small boats of similar shapes appeared on the lake, and on the boats stood some adults dressed in shabby clothes, wearing hats on their heads and fish baskets at their waists. They took a long string and threw it far into the water, pulling it up slowly, then removing the small fish hanging on it, and then continuing to throw it into the water. Even, some even carry fishing nets, throwing nets one by one.

"Brother, I want to play too. "

He jumped up excitedly and pointed to the boat.

The people in the boat heard his shout, looked up, and went on fishing earnestly.
