The Most Simple Wish

The person standing not far behind the children of dachacun primary school is a strange face from nowhere. The man, 35 to 40 years old, has a leopard like face, a tangled beard and a pair of eagle eyes with keen awareness. He was dressed in a suede coat with buckles and lace ups. In today's Dai village, his style of dressing is almost out of season, with sun hat and mountain boots. On the back is a big black and red travel bag that looks heavy. The man stood there, staring at the banner under the eaves.

He seems to have trudged a lot, and has a tendency to be exhausted. When Qiu He looked back, in the man's eyes, he realized a kind of fleeting cruel light. The breath of a man is something she has never met. However, in that strong strange breath, Qiuhe also caught a little bit of fragmentary, familiar, make her care about the breath.

His appearance made the air around dachacun primary school thinner. The heart makes a violent sound in the chest caused by a running horse. Of course, it was just Qiuhe's feeling. Although she had no basis, there was always a feeling of "always coming". This is the fate that she can't escape. The appearance of the man must have a deep relationship with her. This is Qiu He's first feeling of the man in his mind. She stared at the man who suddenly appeared, her eyes full of alert.

The other children were also looking at him, and the tall figure of an adult was standing in front of them. Weak strange cry, is in this space, I do not know where to spread out.

"Water. Children, water. "

The strange man spoke again with a foreign accent. He said with a smile, "I'm sorry. I'm passing by your village to ask for a drink of water. It's really hot on your side."

He wiped the sweat on his face, which mixed with mud.

Ding Han looked at the strange man with strange eyes. His round little head was crooked and said with disdain: "Yo, you look like a savage. Can you wrap your fur on your body without heat?"

The corner of the stranger's eye flashed blue light, the roots of his ears affected his muscles, and then moved. Then he laughed enthusiastically, "the children are so cute. What they say is, what they say is. But please let me have a drink first. If you don't mind, it's yours. " The man spread out his hand, a light green egg in his hand, the head of the egg is not small.

Yu'er and Wu Huiyan look at each other. As the monitor, yu'er orders Ding Han: "Ding Han, go and get water for him."

After Bai Junmao left dachacun primary school and went to the junior middle school of the County Central Primary School, yu'er, who used to be a member of the learning committee, became the new monitor of the class. She deserves her reputation. She is even better than Wu Huiyan in her studies. She is the first student in her class after Bai Junmao.

Dai people are warm and hospitable, and these children also inherit this tradition. Ding Han jumped up obediently and ran to the school building shouting "eggs to eat.".

Standing at the corner of the wall, Qiu he was as pale as paper. The feeling of thin air came fiercely. She could barely get enough oxygen by opening her mouth to breathe. Although the weather is in the summer of Dai village, the air is hot and sweat has soaked her vest, but she feels cold all over, like falling into an ice cave.

Qiuhe approached the strange man as if he had emerged from the thick fog, staring at the light green egg. "What is that?" she asked

"Ah? This is very valuable. Here you are. It's your luck, kid. " The man weighed the egg in his hand.

Qiu He's voice suddenly twisted, and it seemed to be torn apart and deformed from his voice before he was released: "why do you take Green Peacock's egg! Who are you? "

Qiuhe has been to dacha mountain for many times to observe the life of the wild green peacock. She will never admit that it is the egg of the Green Peacock, the next generation of the precious green peacock. Qiuhe's eyes are red. Her expression seemed to be squeezed out of the crack in the ground and changed shape. She remembered that Green Peacock's leisurely living environment was hard to come by. It's also associated with her grandparents.

She finally understood why she had those bad premonitions. The slightly familiar smell on the man is probably the spread of Green Peacock's eggs.

The strange man was very surprised. Maybe he didn't expect that the stupid people in the remote areas would recognize what he was holding. Although this egg is hard won, it's nothing to him. Instead of being broken and deteriorated in the long journey, it's better to be a favor to these stupid children. Important, but the Green Peacock chicks in his backpack!

"Smart little girl, she recognized the eggs of wild animals at a glance. If you want, give them to you. Uncle is a good man. You must remember, don't spread the story today. If you have another chance to meet me, I'll buy you sugar. Poor kids, I've never been out of the mountains in my life. I'm sorry... "When the strange man said" poor ", he really had a sincere expression. He had a brief empathy. He immediately changed his face. Hawk like eyes have a subtle sense“ Forget it, no more water, on the road. " Throw the peacock egg in yu'er's hand in front of him, and the man steps away.

He looked at the distance of the village. Under the clear sky, Dai people were busy in the tea terraces. They were so small. As a state-level protected animal, how much money can Green Peacock chicks get this time? The man naturally thought.

The faint strange call came again. Qiuhe came closer. This time, he clearly recognized that it was the call of the young green peacock! It's a pathetic distress signal! These tiny voices come from the man's backpack.

"Yu'er, don't let him go. He has a peacock in his backpack!" Autumn lotus urgent way.

Yu'er is staring at the big peacock egg in her hand, which is bigger than one of her palms and falls heavily in the palm of her hand. Until she heard Qiu He's cry, she raised her head in horror.

Little peacock?

In an instant, it seems that something amazing has been passed to the ears of these children. They suddenly understand what is green peacock? Is it the auspicious bird of Dai nationality, the Sunbird? Green Peacock is a kind of spirit bird recognized by Dai people, which can bring good luck to animals. In some places, the relationship between the Dai people and the elephant is the same, which is closely related to the life of the Dai people. Culture, belief, totem and metropolis are related to it. But in the past ten years, no Dai people have ever seen the Green Peacock again, and few people have heard about the Green Peacock.

Now the word "Green Peacock" seems so strange, but it is also very fresh in children's hearts. The peacock dance, the Green Peacock totem on the elephant's foot drum, the peacock tail plume on the skirt, and the fragmentary fragments that can be seen everywhere in the Dai village are woven into a complete picture. Beating in front of their eyes.

As Dai people, they will not allow others to hurt their spirit bird. What's more, this is a precious young spirit bird. Many children haven't seen the real Green Peacock since they were born, and they don't want to give up the chance to protect their faith, auspiciousness and peace. There is a story circulating in Dai village. Twelve years ago, a group of people went to dacha mountain to create a comfortable home for Green Peacock and never came back. Later, it is said that green peacock has disappeared in the mountains near Mengla. But today, the Green Peacock reappeared, resolutely representing the efforts and sacrifices of that group of people, not in vain. The environment of Dai village is suitable for Green Peacock.

"Grab his bag! Save the peacock Wu Huiyan and yu'er share the same voice.

A group of children from dacha village ran towards the strange man. Ding Han ran out of the school building and rushed in front of him. Qiuhe stood behind the crowd, his face gloomy. The afternoon light shines on the five-star red flag, and the shadow of the five-star red flag is reflected on half of Qiuhe's face, which makes her face flutter.

"Troublemakers, are you crazy?"

When the strange man turned around, he was surrounded by more than 20 children. Some of them climbed up to his body and hugged his arms, legs and neck. The man didn't pay attention, so they got the backpack. From the backpack came the call of a small peacock, more clear, on the ear. It seems that there is a little peacock inside. If it wasn't for the gloomy look of Qiuhe behind, a group of primary school students could not wait to open their backpacks to see what happened. They are very eager to see the little peacock. When the children are proud of their brave behavior. There was a special clear sound around. The air suddenly solidified.

"Knife! Let's go. " One of the children cried in horror.

The strange man's face was twisted and he took out a spring knife from his pocket. The knife was grinded so fast that it was shining like water under the light. He pointed the knife at the retreating children: "give me that bird! That's my money. My only gain in a month. Kid! Give me the bag or I'll kill you

There are children crying, they are not only scared by the knife, but also scared by the man's sharp eagle eyes.

The boy with the Green Peacock chick backpack was so scared that he had to put the two-color backpack on the ground, turn around and run. His action, led to more people, one by one toward the school building. After entering the house, they lay down by the window and looked out, showing a look of panic, as if they had just experienced a disaster. Yu'er and Wu Huiyan turn around and obviously want to run away. Qiu he heard the helpless cry of the little peacock.

"Ha ha ha, it's a kid after all!" The man walked towards the backpack, relaxed and natural.

Wu Huiyan ran to the place about one meter away from her backpack. I heard the cry of Qiuhe“ Wu Huiyan, take it away, little peacock is still alive Wu Huiyan hesitates for a moment, and Qiuhe runs to meet the strange man. Wu Huiyan is very clear about Qiu He's intention. Qiu He wants to buy time for her. Just as everyone is running back, has Qiu He made this decision? She can't let her down and ignore her choices and practices. She suddenly remembered that teacher Tao had said that Qiuhe was a different girl. This ordinary orphan gives Wu Huiyan a different feeling in a millionth of a second. It's stupid, isn't it? I used to treat this classmate and companion like that.

"Well!" Wu Huiyan picked up her heavy backpack and ran to the school building. Yu'er turns around and sees the situation here. Her face suddenly changes. She wants to hide in the school building, but she turns to run to the deep of dacha village. My heart is also anxious for it. Pray Qiuhe doesn't have an accident. In the process of running, she is also thinking about one thing, for the sake of the little peacock, is it worth it. Where does Qiu He's courage come from?

Maybe I don't know her at all. Having this brave orphan is also worthy of respect. Yu'er ran desperately and cried again.

Behind the glass windows of the school buildings in dacha village, faces were pasted there, and the students lined up. There was a rusty smell in the air. They anxiously looked at the stranger and Qiuhe outside. It was the first time that they looked at Qiuhe carefully. For the first time, they noticed that Qiuhe's body was so thin that in front of tall adults, it was even more insignificant. She couldn't resist the advance of a strange man. All of a sudden, everyone's pupils are staring, they see from the window outside the autumn lotus kneeling on the ground. Under the reflection and pull of the glass, the picture presents a dramatic slow motion. The sound seems to be cleared from the world of these children, they can't hear anything, only their heartbeat is very clear. Qiuhe's light body, like melting ice, slides down from the eaves and slowly falls down. His eyes like cat's eyes reflect the blue part of the sky, and his eyelashes are very long. Her expression froze. Head struggling up, as if in as much air as possible. Time has solidified.

"Orphans..." someone whispered in the school shed.

"Ah? The little girl! I didn't touch you. You rushed up to my knife. I don't want the peacock. Don't die The strange man winced.

Qiu he knelt on the ground, his head up, his mouth slightly open. She smelled the smell of blood, and there was a dry movement in her throat, which was no different from the despairing sound of the water drained from the pipe. With her eyes open, she saw the clear sky of Dai village, the clouds fluttering, the birds roaming in the distant space, and the sunlight shining down. Suddenly, she just wanted to see her teacher, Tao Huizhen. The amazing woman who gave her knowledge.

At this time. Tao Huizhen is on the road to the west of dachacun primary school, trying to get close to Qiuhe. The moment she saw Qiuhe fall, her breath and heart almost stopped, a new pain spread, her body seemed to be broken.

The whole person's feeling is no less than head-on hit a speeding train, lost all consciousness. In her mind, only step, constantly, as far as possible. Crazy run, mention the skirt reckless crazy run. At this moment, she didn't want anything, just wanted to go to Qiuhe's side.

That's her responsibility.
