Chapter 2 I am a cow herder
Spring is full of flowers, and flowers are waiting to bloom.
At this time, Qingming Festival has just passed.
Blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, green trees.
The breeze with the smell of grass flows slightly.
The endless mountains are connected by one.
On a flat boulder in the middle of the mountain, a 7-8-year-old cowherd was lying. The clothes covered with patches wrapped around her thin figure. Although the clothes were worn out, they were clean and tidy. It was difficult to find a trace of fat on her shriveled face. Although she was so thin, fortunately, she ran around the mountain every day and had a good physical condition.
In the grass next to the huge rock, an old yellow cow silently chewed on the grass, looking up from time to time to indicate its existence.
This cow is the biggest property of their family. Although the cowherds are young, they have been herding cattle for two years. In the morning, they go out and eat a sweet potato on the mountain at noon, and in the afternoon when the sun is about to set, they go home. Such a life is all the stories of cowherds in this place. The small difference may be whether to eat sweet potatoes or other things at noon. If there are wild fruits, it is better to be considered as extra meals.
The cowherd had no complaints, as if life should be like this.
In the mountains, what else can you do if you don’t herd cattle at such an age?
As a man in the mountains, in order to survive, he must start to contribute to his family early.
Besides, the children in other families are like this. Some even have to carry a basket of pig grass while grazing cattle and carry it home at night.
Their family does not feed pigs, so they do not need pig grass.
The cowherd lay bored on the stone, with green mountains around him still in the same spring breeze. The picturesque scenery and fresh air were not at all attractive to him. This was what I saw since I was a child.
Sometimes when I recall the stories my mother told him, my heart is filled with joy.
The friends around me don’t have such benefits. Their parents are honest farmers, they have never read books, nor have they ever seen the world, so there is no story to tell. At most, they can talk about how to farm, when to sow see the seeds, when to burn the mountains, and make the land fat.
Of course, there is an ugly girl named Xiaoli. Her mother can tell some stories.
It's really strange. Mothers are good without fathers.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh. How could he come to such a conclusion?
Suddenly, a dark cloud floated into the sky, and the dark clouds became thicker and closer.
The cowherd opened his mouth wide, and the blue sky suddenly appeared such a vision, which shocked him.
What's going on? The question of the cowherd has just risen.
The dark clouds changed again. The dark clouds were getting closer and closer, forming a huge ball, in the middle of the ball. They were like stars at night, shining all over the sky; and like dark clouds in front of a heavy rain, thunder thunder.
A strange phenomenon comes from the sky, gods and ghosts appear!
The cowherd's mind appeared in the mind of the mythological story his mother told him before. Whenever a hero is born, the heaven and earth will have an intention.
The cowherd's baby couldn't help but be happy. Did the hero appear and he met him?
The irregular dark clouds turned faster and faster, slowly turning into a circle. The lightning flashed more and more dazzling, and the thunder became more and more deafening.
When the floating sphere floated above the head of the cowherd, it suddenly seemed like it had discovered a target.
Shrink, quickly and hit the top of his head.
"Ah..." The cowherd screamed in fear, trying to turn over and avoid it. He knew that his body seemed to be sucked by a giant magnet, and his whole body could not move.
The round mist enveloped the cowherd and merged into his body bit by bit.
The cowherd's mind began to appear in his short 7 or 8 years.
When I was born, my mother's smile...
Born, first time seeing myself?
...
"At present, you are the only male member of our Li family. One day, I will let you appear on our Li family tree... I hope you are an honest child, just called Li Xin..." A tall man said kindly to him.
After being over 1 year old, his father's figure appeared in front of him for the first time.
...
In the dark night, a group of masked men rushed into his yard with knives...
A fast horse galloped over and led them and their mother and son to break through the encirclement...
He is 3 years old, what is this happening?
...
The old ox appeared, and the career of herding cattle began...
This is easy to say, I have been doing this for the past two years.
...
Slowly, another picture appeared.
The red car was suddenly hit by a business car behind it, like a red shell leaving the runway...
Song Ruyu, with a bloody face, looked terrified, and her sexy lips were shouting, what were she shouting?
The picture is so close, and as far away.
It's like a silent movie, with only the picture and no sound.
The picture slowly turns redder and becomes redder.
Finally, it became more and more blurred...
Silent!
The golden sunlight dimmed.
The night arrived as promised.
"Xin'er...Xin'er..." A beautiful figure shuttled across the path of sheep intestine, holding a torch, a woman about twenty-five or six years old shouted as she walked.
Her name is Su Qi, and she is the mother of the cowherd's wife.
Coarse cloth, Roland's skirt. Long hair was tied on the head, tied with a piece of cotton cloth, and a copper hairpin was inserted into the exposed hair on the top. Looking at the whole body, this copper hairpin should be the most valuable item.
Simple clothes and no makeup without makeup can't stop her peerless face.
Her voice was gentle and anxious.
The silent mountains were broken by her gentle and anxious shouts.
The voice of the village woman in the mountains should be loud, high and penetrating.
Su Qi's voice is full of gentleness, gracefulness, and infinite charm.
As time passed by minute by minute, the night became thicker and the gentle voice became hoarse, but she did not stop. Her belief was persistent, even if she shouted, she would still shout until she found the letter.
The only response to her was the shocked birds and the sound of small animals running around.
No answers I wanted.
"Xin'er, where are you? If something happens, how can you tell your mother to live? Woo-woo..." Su Qi began to sob, tears wet her eyes. She wiped her eyes with her sleeves, and wiped her face dirty. She, who usually pays attention to hygiene the most, doesn't care anymore.
Her only thought was to find her son quickly.
This is her only son, the only hope, and the only reliance for the future.
If you lose your son, the hardships you have suffered over the years are meaningless.
If one day she would trade her life for her son's life, she would never hesitate.
"Woo..." A ox sound came from the front.
"Ah!" Su Qi screamed in surprise, his voice full of joy, and a familiar voice, yes, it was his own cow, it seemed that his son was nearby.
But why didn't my son speak out? Did he fall into a coma after being injured and fell into a wild animal?
Without time to think, Su Qi ran towards Niu Sheng and shouted, "Xin'er, are you there?"
In a moment, Su Qi saw his old ox, and with the faint light of fire, he saw a child lying on the huge rock. He walked into the huge rock with a nervous mood, and the fire clearly printed the child's face. Yes, it was his son who patted his chest and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Xin'er, what's wrong with you?" The woman shook the child's thin shoulders gently.
The child fell asleep and did not respond. Feeling the uniform breath of the cowherd's cowherd made Su Qi feel a little relieved.
Su Qi helped Li Xin sit up and checked his body, but found no signs of injury.
Fortunately, there were no external injuries.
Is it too tired? It's impossible. Although my son has been young, he has been herding cattle for two years. He will go home even before it gets tired.
At the beginning, I felt that he was young and put an old ox around the house. I gradually moved further and further away from home.
Did the dark clouds in the sky scare him just now?
It's impossible, my son has been having a big order since he was a child.
Su Qi thought in a mess, full of doubts.
No matter what, let’s go home first.
Su Qi gently put Li Xin on the back of the old ox, held the old ox with one hand, held Li Xin with the other, and walked towards his home with one foot deep and shallow.
