Four gusts of wind

In his time, a large number of memories should have been left in the open space between the mountains, as well as the cattle in the open space and the cowherd children sitting around and fighting.

He couldn't remember how many days it had been home, and every day when the sky was slightly bright, his grandfather would wake him and his brother gently, and then the two brothers rubbed their eyes and walked to the cattle and sheep pen to drive the cattle and sheep out to graze, until the sun began to sting the skin a little, and the two of them drove the cattle and sheep back again. At that time, the fifth uncle, who had a scar on his face, had just finished cooking, and the grandfather had just returned from the field. Uncle is rarely at home, and grandpa said that he is busy taking the university entrance examination and only comes back once a month. Mom and Dad are working outside and haven't been home for several years, but they just send money back at a fixed time period, and then Grandpa goes to the market to pick it up. He has seen the second uncle, and in the first few days after returning home, he had just returned home, and he was still a little scared when he saw the second uncle with a decorated body and a bare head, much like the criminals on TV. As for the third uncle and the fourth uncle, he didn't ask, and his grandfather didn't mention it.

This morning, he and his brother were gently woken up by their grandfather as usual, and then the brothers habitually rubbed their eyes and prepared to get up and go out to herd cattle and sheep. When the two came to the house, the elder brother lazily went to open the cattle and sheep pen, and he stood there in a daze as if he had lost his soul.

And a big white dog at home gathered around him, wagging his tail and licking his tender hands, his body was still writhing, this dog was more like a child than him. However, when he first came back, he was afraid that the dog was afraid to die, not to mention the size, but also very fierce, he just came back because he was not familiar, and he was yelled by the dog and hid behind his brother and kept jumping. When he got acquainted, the dog liked to stick to him, especially on the way to herd cattle every day, he always liked to follow, and then he always fought with other dogs in the village on the road, and he was afraid to die when he fought, so he had to spend a lot of energy to drive the dog away every day when herding cattle, and not let it follow.

He let the big white dog lick his hand, ignored it, and looked at the mountain in the distance, and at this moment he missed his grandmother's house more and more. When he was at his grandmother's house, he would do everything by his uncles and grandfather, and he would occasionally follow his grandmother to the fields to see them, and then his grandmother would help with the work, and he would play by himself by himself in the fields. Sometimes I pick up a few stones and put them on two sides, imitating the ancient people on TV, and then I push the stones in the middle with a few words to myself, and I do it as I go, and sometimes I climb a tree that is not very tall, learn which monkeys are jumping around, and throw myself into it as if I were a monkey. During that time, compared to now, I have to herd cattle and sheep every day, not to mention how comfortable I am.

But now life can not be said to be extremely boring, at least every morning cattle time also let him know a lot of friends, walk through the yard of the house, past the most prominent cabin in the village, in front of a pair of sisters and brothers, sister others call Liu Mei, younger brother others call Ermao, and he is one word apart, they have two cattle, a male and a female, which seems to be the standard configuration of many families, either a male and a female two cows, or leave a bull. Just like a little girl's house in the middle of the village, there was only one black cow in her family, and that black cow was stronger than the siblings and his, and every time the children of the three families went out to herd the cattle together, the bulls of his family and the siblings would join forces to deal with the black bull of the little girl's family.

The sisters and brothers are younger than him, because the relationship between the parents on both sides is very good, and the brothers have to take care of the sisters and brothers every time they go out. And the little girl in the middle of the village was about the same age as him, and the two of them talked the most every time.

As usual, the brothers drove the cattle and sheep to the house of the sisters and brothers and shouted, and it was the younger brother who came out to respond, he came out of the courtyard wall with a small brain, and said softly that the sister was still washing, and asked him and his brother to rush to a small open space not far from the village to wait, and they came over immediately. Leaving the house of the two siblings and coming to the field at the front of the village, he shouted loudly upward.

Zhang Xuan!

Zhang Xuan!!

A young female voice came back from above.

Here it comes.

After a while, a sturdy black bull slowly appeared on a small road in the village, and the black bull swayed its head and walked towards the place where he had been frightened by the two dogs when he came home with arrogance and disdain. And after seeing the black bull, the bull suddenly lost the leisurely time when it first came out, and turned to an angry gaze and quickly walked towards that place.

When the sturdy black bull leaked out, a girl who was covered by the house was slowly revealed behind. She was wearing a floral dress, her hair was a little fluffy, and she was too lazy to wash her hair when she got up late. Her face was as white as frost, unlike his brother and those two siblings, who looked buttery and didn't like to be clean. The girl's hair was a little fluffy, and she didn't look like a child in this village.

The bull and the black bull took the head, the black bull held his head high, still with a look of disdain, and the bull looked at it with anger, and the two cows walked forward with a funny look, and the old heifer and the sheep of the family followed them honestly. The brothers also took the girl in the place where he was scared by the dog.

"Brother Jun. "

The girl called out to his brother in a milky voice, and the brother also responded with a smile, saying that he was waiting for the two sisters and brothers in the open space in front of him. With that, he walked forward, leaving him and the girl behind. Seeing that her brother finally turned her back to them, the girl lost her gentleness just now, and instead came to him with a resentful face, pinched his arm fiercely, and then muttered in a low voice.

"I'm going to die, I come so early every day, and my uncle says I'm lazy every morning." "

After pinching, he turned into another face, and chased forward with a smile.

"Brother, wait for me. "

The red mark on his hand in the back, with a look of grievance.

"Can you blame me?" Grandpa told me to get up. "

The biggest difference between the morning sun and the evening sun is that one grows fast and the other sets quickly, the twilight sun is beautiful, and the morning sun is annoying because it represents the cattle as soon as it comes out. Obviously, when he came out, he only saw a glimmer of light on the opposite mountain, and at this moment, most of the sun's body was already hanging high on the mountain.

"Brother, where are you going today?".

"Qingshui Stream, that place is easy to hide from the sun." "

"Okay. "

The girl slowly approached him, and he instinctively withdrew his hand to his chest, thinking that the girl was going to pinch his arm again.

"Hey, where is the clear water stream that my brother said?"

"I don't know how long I've been here. "

"Aren't you here?"

"I'm from Longtang." "

"Where's Longtang?"

"Over there. "

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the distant mountain.

On the other side of the mountain, an extremely distant place, it seemed to him so.

After waiting in the open space for a while, the sister and brother finally drove the cattle and sheep to the clear water stream that the elder brother said.

The

scenery along the way is very familiar, and all along the way are the way back from my grandmother's house at that time. After passing through one clearing after another, skirting bay after bay, until they reached a clearing jutting out of the mountainside, a few people found a place where the sun could not get enough to sit down. On one side of the clearing are terraced rice fields that extend to the foot of the mountain, and a stream that can only accommodate one or two adults separates the two mountains, and the mountains form a U-shaped trough with a small clear pool in the deepest part of the trough, which can be said to be the deepest part of the stream from the village to here. On the other side of the clearing was the place where he sat down to rest when he came back with his brother and grandfather, and he still remembered that he was hiding alone in the cool place, while his brother and grandfather were squatting in the sun and holding the stream to wash their faces.

Looking at the small stream at the foot of the mountain, he missed the time at his grandmother's house more and more, and the river at his grandmother's house more and more, especially in this hot summer, when he sweated hot every day, but there was no place to swim, which was difficult for him to accept since he could remember. However, here, he likes to herd cattle with these friends. In addition to the torture of waking up early every day, the time spent playing with my friends is much more fun than at my grandmother's house. For this reason, he always fantasized that it would be nice if the two could become one, with his grandmother and the wide river, and these little friends.

"Sister Xuan, are you about to go to study like Brother Jun?"

Liu Mei looked at Zhang Xuan, her face full of envy.

Among them, the elder brother is currently studying, and every morning after herding the cattle with them, the elder brother will hurriedly finish breakfast and then disappear into the chestnut forest next to his house with his schoolbag, he does not know where his brother is going, only that every afternoon, his brother will come back from the chestnut forest, and sometimes bring him a small snack. Grandpa told him that his brother was going to study, and when he was older he would go too, he would go to a place called a school, where he would meet a lot of friends.

He is always puzzled, why does his brother also go to study, and his uncle also goes to study, and his brother goes every morning and comes back in the afternoon, but it takes a long time for the uncle to come back once?

"I don't know, my parents always told me that I was going to school soon, but I didn't go for a long, long time. "

"It should be soon. yes, Joon. "

"It should be soon, you should go to school at about the same time as Mao." "

"So I can go to school with Mao then." "

Zhang Xuan looked at him with a smile, but his eyes were a little evasive.

"At school, my grandmother hasn't told me yet. "

He muttered.

"When it's time to go to school, you'll go to school, don't worry, you'll have something to do when you get to school." Mao, you and Zhang Xuan look at the cow first, and I'll take him to Xiaoqingtan below, and wait for the two of you to go down. "

As he spoke, his brother led Liu Mei and Ermao towards Xiaoqingtan below, leaving him and Zhang Xuan to watch the cow on the flat ground. A few people together, always like this, first leave one or two to watch the cattle and sheep, and the remaining a few go to play, and when they come back from playing, the people who used to watch the cattle go again.

Even though it was morning, the wind brought up a little bit of heat. The time of watching the cow is boring, especially with some hot wind, and the boring time and the fact that there is a person who often bullies him next to him, he can only choose to be silent, pick up the stone next to him and start thinking about it again to pass the time.

But people, except when they are alone, it is difficult to choose silence.

Zhang Xuan slowly leaned over, pointed to the neatly arranged stones, and asked curiously.

"What are you doing?".

"This is the troops defending the city, this is the troops besieging the city, and the troops defending the city have received a death order to strictly defend and not let them attack in." "
