don't call me singer

Chapter 1413 There are no birds and phoenixes, only young birds live on the green hills

Gu Xiaobai looked in Cao Baodong's direction, and was taken aback for a moment.

Cao Baodong's master is here?

This courtyard is already very dilapidated, the courtyard door is ajar, and although the building next to it is of brick and tile structure, it is obviously in disrepair for a long time, and weeds even grow on the roof.

From the half-open courtyard door, one can see that the weeds inside have grown to the height of half a person.

When Cao Baodong opened the door, he heard a "squeak" from inside, and a few small animals he didn't know ran out of the courtyard, ran against the wall to the back hill, and chased each other away.

Gu Xiaobai walked a few steps closer, and saw a sign leaning against the door next to it: "Qingshan Suona School."

The sign has been around for some years, the writing on it has been mottled, and even the hanging nails have rotted away, just slipped down and leaned there.

Seeing that the courtyard looked like this, Gu Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that……

When he stepped into the wild grass again, he was even more puzzled.

In this house, there was no trace of human life at all. One of the houses was more than half collapsed. Even the door of the main room was half open, and there were sundries brought in by various animals.

Here, it seems that it has become a paradise for animals.

Gu Xiaobai had more bad thoughts in his heart.

In his fantasy, Cao Baodong’s return to his hometown is the return of his clothes, the happy smiling face of the old man, and the master and apprentice blowing the suona together, returning to Dongcheng with him, and living a happy life ever since.

but now……

"Da Dongzi!" Gu Xiaobai called out, but saw that Cao Baodong didn't even stop, went around the main room and went straight to the rear.

He was really afraid that Cao Baodong would not be able to take the blow, and something would happen again.

When Gu Xiaobai parted the waist-deep grass and walked around to the backyard, he saw Cao Baodong kneeling in front of a small grave in the middle of the backyard.

With a "boom", he knocked his head heavily on the ground: "Master, I'm back!"

Cao Baodong raised his head and looked at the lonely grave in front of him, with tears in his eyes.

And behind him, Gu Xiaobai froze there.

Hao Fanbai was a few steps behind Gu Xiaobai, and when he ran over with the village party secretary, he saw exactly this scene.

Two teenagers stood and knelt in front of the solitary grave. The waist-deep grass had almost completely submerged the solitary grave.

"This...this is..." Hao Fanbo was speechless for a while.

Seeing Hao Fanbai's unbelievable expression, Cao Zhishu next to him said: "Alas... this child's master has been dead for three years."

Been dead for three years?
In front, Gu Xiaobai suddenly turned his head.

He and Cao Baodong have known each other for many days.

When he saw Cao Baodong for the first time, he cried and called Master.

At that time, Gu Xiaobai felt that Cao Baodong must love his master very much.

After eating delicious food, I thought that Master must also like it.

After earning money, I also thought about buying things to honor Master.

In Gu Xiaobai's mind, a loving, grandfather-like image slowly emerged.

But Gu Xiaobai never thought that it would be like this.

At this moment, the various emotions in his heart, no matter how complicated the language is, I'm afraid it can't describe what happened.

Cao Baodong knelt on the ground, lay down for a while, and then slowly raised his head.

"Master, I haven't been back for a long time. You can see that the yard is so deserted. Let me clean up the yard for you first..."

He murmured, as if talking to someone he couldn't see.

His hands and feet are very nimble, but there are too many weeds, and even some small shrubs have grown.

Cao Baodong has been busy for a long time, but he just cleared a small space near the tomb.

Then Cao Baodong saw a flash of light in front of his eyes.

A piece of weeds has fallen to the ground.

He raised his head, and saw Gu Xiaobai holding a long sword with a cold light, "swiping" a few times, the weeds fell down one by one, and a large area was cleared out in a short time.

Beside, Zhishu Cao looked at the long sword in Gu Xiaobai's hand with a dazed expression.

Where did this kid take out a shining long sword?
He said he took it out and he took it out. Where was the sword hidden just now?

Hey, is this long sword the legendary Vietnamese national gift...

Actually, this sword was brought by Gu Xiaobai from Pei Min...

How can you use your own sword for things like mowing grass?
Of course it doesn't hurt to use someone else's sword.

"Thank you!" Seeing that the yard was almost cleaned up, Cao Baodong smiled innocently at Gu Xiaobai, then walked to the grave and said, "Master, these are the cigarettes I bought for you! Zhonghua cigarettes, you always said you wanted to smoke them before." , but I can’t smoke... come on, I’ll order some for you..."

In the desolate small courtyard, in front of the solitary grave, the short and simple Cao Baodong lit a cigarette and stuck it on the grave.

Then I lit another one.

"Master, you smoke another..."

"Master..."

Next to him, Secretary Cao sighed and said, "Oh, this kid is stupid."

Gu Xiaobai turned his head and looked at Cao Baodong who unpacked a pack of cigarettes, lit them one by one, and stuck them on the grave.

Is this kid stupid?
If you are not stupid, who would take apart such a piece of Chinese medicine, and put it on the grave, and insert the grave, like an old man in moxibustion.

It's funny and solemn.

Hao Fanbo didn't know whether his eyes were smoked by the smoke, or what, he reached out and wiped his eyes, turned his head away for a while, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "What's going on?"

"This child's master, Cao Qingshan, is an uncle of my clan. He has taught people to play the suona since he was young. There were more than a dozen children who learned the suona in the early years. When I was young, playing the suona was still a living. Later, the world changed. Well, more than ten years ago, this place was empty..."

"Over the past ten years, I have only seen Dadongzi, a silly boy who runs here every day to learn how to play the suona..."

"Dadongzi's family is very difficult. His parents, who are also my clan brothers, are unwilling to let him study again. They want him to go out to work, so they even made a few troubles with the clan uncle. Beat the child to pieces... But it's useless, the child still runs here every day, and even lives here..."

"Later, one night when it rained, I heard the sound of suona in the middle of the night, so I came to take a look..."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhishu sighed: "When I arrived, I found that my Uncle Qingshan's house was washed away by the rain, half of his body was buried in the house, and he was holding a suona in his hand. His body was cold. ...Fortunately, the kid Dadongzi still has his breath...We carried him to the town hospital, and he was saved...Since then, this kid has been even more bewildered..."

"Perhaps, this child is too stupid to understand life and death..."

Gu Xiaobai listened quietly at the side.

There is no one in this world who doesn't understand life and death.

only……

How can you forget some people?
Gu Xiaobai closed his eyes, an old and ugly face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Blind man!
