The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 5 0005, Dongsheng Shenzhou Sun Family Village
The east of the East China Sea belongs to the territory of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the best scenery is the Sunjiazhuang area.There are mountains and waters here, and there are countless rare and exotic animals.Every year, many people from big cities come here to travel, and many rich and wealthy gentry come here to spend the summer and winter here.

Sunjiazhuang is a village with more than 400 households. Because the village is surrounded by mountains and the sea, most of the villagers make a living by fishing.Many people have been fishermen for generations, and children grew up by the sea.Children at the age of five or six can swim, and children at the age of seven or eight start learning to dive.

Five-year-old Sun Xiaoxiao stood alone at the beach. Whenever she saw children older than herself swimming in the water, Xiaoxiao wanted to go with them.But Xiaoxiao is a sensible child. Her mother told her not to go into the water, so she didn't go into the water once.Just sitting quietly by the beach, watching the waves one after another.

When she was younger, Xiaoxiao came to the beach with her mother for the first time.Because of the typhoon that time, many villagers who went fishing in the village failed to return.Among them was Xiaoxiao's father. At that time, she was only two years old, and she just stared blankly at the heart-piercing mother who was crying, but she didn't know what happened.

From that day on, Xiaoxiao never saw her mother smile again.Her name was chosen by her mother, because Xiaoxiao was different from other children when she was born. Others cried after birth, but Xiaoxiao didn't cry or smile when she was born.Being hugged by mother, Xiaoxiao let out a crisp laugh.

There are many strange-shaped stones by the sea, some are like plates, some are like umbrellas, and some look like they can fall down when the wind blows.In the past, Sun Xiaoxiao always liked to chat with all the stones, but as he grew up, Xiaoxiao only had a soft spot for the stone that resembled a human.

I asked my mother with a smile, when will my father come back.Mother told Xiaoxiao more than once that it's coming soon, and she will be back in two or three days.

Three days and three days, three days and three days, Xiaoxiao would go to the beach every day for a while.She was afraid that her father would not know the way when she came back, and she was afraid that her father would forget to bring her a gift, and finally she was afraid that her father would never come back.

When she was six years old, Xiaoxiao ran to the mountains alone for the first time, picked two peaches and ran to the beach.Put one on the human-shaped stone, and she kept the other one for her father.Repeatedly, she did not see the fishing boat with the flag of Sun Zi.

In a blink of an eye, Xiaoxiao was already eight years old. She listened to her mother and went to a private school in the next village every day.But she will not live in a private school, no matter how late she has to go home every day.Then he took two peaches and sat next to the human-shaped stone, waiting for the fishing boat with the flag of Sun Zi.

At the age of ten, Xiaoxiao had acquired a lot of knowledge and began to understand what a white lie is.I also gradually realized that my father would not come back.

Xiaoxiao likes to be alone at the beach, and then chat with human-shaped stones.Whether happy or unhappy, she can freely tell the human-shaped stone.Anyway, it can't speak, and it is definitely the best listener.

Of course, Xiaoxiao never regarded it as a stone, but regarded it as a brother.She gave it a name, Sunhou, with her surname, and the name is a homonym with one of her favorite animals.There are many monkeys in the mountain, but Xiaoxiao dare not get too close to them every time.

Xiaoxiao called him Brother Hou, but he wrote it as Brother Hou.

When she was 12 years old, Xiaoxiao encountered a strange thing every day.Every time she would put the freshly picked peaches in front of Monkey Brother, and when she returned home, the peaches would turn into peach pits.At first she thought it was a prank by other children in the village, and she stared at it several times but found no one.

"Brother Monkey, do you think my father will come back? My mother said that my father has gone to a far away place, and it is not easy to tell the direction at sea, so he has been out for so long. But he has been gone for ten years, can he really come back?" Have you found your way home?" Sun Xiaoxiao said sadly, leaning on the human-shaped stone.

Of course, the human-shaped stone would not answer her, and then Sun Xiaoxiao continued: "When I grow up, I will learn to drive a boat from the uncles in the village. Then I will go to sea to find my father, so that our family can be reunited." , do you think it's okay?"

The human-shaped stone was still silent, only the sound of waves and the sound of Sun Xiaoxiao beating the human-shaped stone.She was very envious of those children in the village. They all had older brothers and sisters, and every time they were bullied, someone would help them out.Even if they met the parents of that child, they would stand up for their younger siblings.

But she can't, her mother only has her one child, and every time she is bullied in the private school, she will not reveal a word to her mother.Those people were all unreasonable, and she was afraid that her mother would go to them to argue and be bullied again.

She is a sensible child, and the child of the poor is already in charge of the family.Although there are not many big families in the village, they all have fathers who earn money to support the family, and their mothers can take their children to and from school.They will be helped when they fall, and someone will wait at the gate of the private school to pick them up on rainy days.

All this has nothing to do with Sun Xiaoxiao, but fortunately Mr. Private School treats her well.There are more than 50 students in the same class, and she is the only one who can keep up with Mr. Private School's train of thought.Every time a question is asked, she must be asked to answer, and then the private school teacher will use her answer as an example to tell everyone.This is the only thing she can be proud of, and it is also her greatest reliance.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and Sun Xiaoxiao hid in the arms of the human-shaped stone.Although the stone is cold, it can shelter from wind and rain.She has never been afraid of the rain, no matter how hard it is, she can rush into the rain without hesitation, and then trot all the way home.

But today I don't know what's wrong, as if the human-shaped stone is not a stone but a living person, she really found a shoulder to rely on.Although it was cold, her heart was warm.

At the age of 14, Dongsheng Shenzhou experienced a torrential rain that had not happened in a century, and many houses at the foot of the mountain were washed away.The private school was on vacation for two months, and Sun Xiaoxiao went up and down the mountain every day.Their home was washed away, and their mother became seriously ill because of the torrential rain.She wants to fix the house as soon as possible, so that mother can have a place to live.

Before the house was repaired, she and her mother slept next to the human-shaped stone.The torrential rain destroyed many houses in Sunjiazhuang. Every family was busy rebuilding their houses, and no one had the time to help Sun Xiaoxiao's house.

Three months later, Sun Xiaoxiao helped her mother to lie down.The mother who just finished taking the medicine was a little sleepy, Xiaoxiao could only rest at this time.I have to go to school in a private school during the day, and I have to make medicine for my mother at night, and it will be dark when all this is done.

But Sun Xiaoxiao's habit has not changed. She will still take two peaches and go to the beach to chat with Brother Monkey for a while.The hardships and pressure of life did not overwhelm her, she is still the girl who likes to smile and reveals two dimples when she smiles.More than ten years have passed, and she has grown from a little girl to a big girl.

In the autumn of 14 years old, Sun Xiaoxiao received a love letter.The person who wrote the love letter to her was a handsome young man who seemed to be two or three years older than her.According to Mr. Private School, the boy's home is in the county town.Judging from his attire, his family's background must be unusual.

Sun Xiaoxiao tore the love letter into pieces, and spread his hands to let the pieces be blown away by the wind.She didn't look up to the young man who claimed to be talented, let alone his generous appearance.It seems that all the girls in the world should like him, and it seems that all the men in the world should please him.

"Brother Monkey, do you think it's right for me to do this?" Sun Xiaoxiao asked after patting the human-shaped stone.

Wearing a frilly floral dress, two unique red flowers.Coupled with Sun Xiaoxiao's curvy figure, no matter how ordinary her appearance is, the back view alone is enough to attract many young men.

Sun Xiaoxiao glanced down at the red flowers on the flower skirt, and said, "Brother Monkey, I embroidered these flowers myself, do they look good?"

The sea breeze blew gently, and waves slapped on the stones, making crisp sounds.Sun Xiaoxiao got into the arms of the human-shaped stone very skillfully, that was the place she liked.Every time she encounters troublesome things, as long as she can stay there for a while, her mood will immediately improve.

It is indeed amazing, making Sun Xiaoxiao more and more dependent on the human-shaped stone.But having said that, the buddy who gave her the love letter is really handsome.In the private school, there are many girls who admire him, and there are also many ladies who came here from the county. It is said that they all come for this talented man.

In class the next day, Sun Xiaoxiao met that guy at the gate of the private school.She didn't expect that guy to be so thick-skinned. After she refused with righteous words, he could still say that he wanted to find a place to have a good chat with her.In the end, he was so forced that he couldn't help it, and Sun Xiaoxiao told him that he already had someone in mind.

This was an excuse she made to make that person quit.After all, they were in the Tang Dynasty, and few men and women dared to fall in love freely.At that time, it was indeed possible to marry three wives and four concubines, but no one dared to hit other people's girlfriends.At that time, the management was very strict, and if it didn't work out, you would be brought in for repairs.

Hearing that Sun Xiaoxiao had a lover, the man really didn't intend to pester her anymore.But when school was over, he sent someone to send a message. Before the final exam, he asked Sun Xiaoxiao to have a meal with her boyfriend.Although we can't be together, we can still be friends, right?

She can't agree to this matter, and she can't agree to it, after all, she boasted so much at the time, if she really tells him that it's not the case now, wouldn't she be forcing herself into a dead end.

It's just that Sun Xiaoxiao didn't expect that before the final exam, something more serious than that would happen.

One afternoon one month before the final exam, Sun Xiaoxiao was busy cooking and cooking with joy. Today is her 15th birthday, and she wants to improve her mother's life.In the past two years, in addition to attending classes normally, she also went to a wealthy family in the city as a companion.Although the income is not much, it is enough to meet the living needs of the two mothers.

Sun Xiaoxiao's mother called her over and whispered something in her ear.The mother took Sun Xiaoxiao's hand, afraid that her daughter would misunderstand, so she kept explaining: "If this thing really happens, you don't want to go back to this house. Mother can take care of herself, you just need to live a good life, mother That's enough, it can be considered that mother is worthy of your father."

The spoon in Sun Xiaoxiao's hand fell to the ground, and he staggered back two steps.She didn't answer her mother's words, but picked up the spoon and continued cooking like a normal person.During the meal, I chatted with my mother for a while, and then made medicine for my mother to take and sleep.After all this was done, Sun Xiaoxiao trotted all the way to the beach.

Holding the human-shaped stone that has stood here for an unknown number of years, she wailed loudly, and kept murmuring while crying, but her voice was too small, and no one except herself knew what she was talking about.

She knew that her mother was doing it for her own good, but she was willing to sacrifice herself to take care of her mother's filial child.
