There is a primary school in Mazui Village. When Lu Shanmin went to school, there were enough students for each grade in the school to fit into one class. With more and more people going out, now the entire school plus teachers There were only thirty or forty people left. The village chief said that the village primary school would be withdrawn next year and merged into the town.
The night in the mountains is unusually quiet, with only the breeze accompanied by the chirping of insects, and the color is very monotonous, with only the bright moon and stars, and other than that, there is only endless silence and darkness. Lu Shanmin climbed up to the roof and looked at an earthen house on the hillside not far away through the moonlight. It was Bai Fugui's home and Bai Ling's home.
Bai Ling is the most beautiful girl in Mazui Village. Lu Shanmin and she are neighbors and classmates in elementary school. They have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. At that time, they went to school together every day and had trouble getting through it on rainy days. Lu Shanmin carried her through the stream. In school, if any blind and naughty person dared to bully Bai Ling, he would definitely be beaten to the ground by Lu Shanmin. Later, Carpenter Bai could take fewer and fewer jobs, and he was not good at hunting. It was rare for his family to have a meal of meat. Every once in a while, Lu Shanmin would quietly take some meat from home and deliver it to Bai Ling's family. I was bumped into by the old magician several times. Every time, the old magician would make fun of her and give her meat to your little wife. She is useless because she is not well-fed. Every time he heard the old magic stick talking nonsense, Lu Shanmin became very angry. He would frantically greet the old magic stick with whatever he could reach.
After graduating from elementary school, Lu Shanmin did not continue to attend junior high school because at that time, Lu Shanmin's illness required him to receive Lao Huang's abnormal treatment every day. Mazui Village was still dozens of miles away from the town, and it was all mountainous. If you go to junior high school in the town, you have to live on campus, so you won't be able to receive Lao Huang's therapy of rolling noodles and making dumplings every day.
That night, it was also on this roof, Bai Ling sat next to him, crying like a tearful person. His tearful eyes were supposed to be the most beautiful scenery in the world, but they stung the Lushan Democratic Front. Heartache.
Bai Ling wanted to continue going to junior high school, but Bai Fugui didn't have much carpentry work to do at that time, and her family was so poor that there was no money left for her to go to school. What's more, people in the mountains are still relatively backward in their thinking. In Bai Fugui's eyes, the purpose of raising a daughter is to earn a few betrothal gifts. Spending money to let Bai Ling study is a loss-making business. The couple put together and decided not to let Bai Ling continue to attend junior high school.
Lu Shanmin wiped Bai Ling's tears with his hand, and suddenly a cloud of heroic spirit rose in his chest, "I will go to the mountains to hunt pheasants and blind bears, and I will support your education."
Bai Ling hummed softly, with a bright smile on her face. She had always had an inexplicable trust in Lu Shanmin since she was a child, because Lu Shanmin never broke his promise.
Seeing Bai Ling burst into tears and smiling, Lu Shanmin also laughed happily. On that day, Lu Shanmin felt that he was no longer a boy, but a man who stood upright.
Later, Bai Ling successfully entered junior high school. At that time, every weekend, Lu Shanmin would walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to pick her up in the town. before,Bai Ling's favorite thing was to sit next to Lu Shanmin, tilting his head and listening to him quietly talking about hunting in the mountains. I don’t know since when, Bai Ling no longer liked to listen to the stories of pheasants and wild roe deer in the mountains, and slowly turned into Lu Shanmin, who watched her quietly, listened to her talk about things in school, and listened to her talk about what she saw in the town. Which skirt is good-looking and which pair of shoes are good-looking, Lushan people silently remember in their hearts. After that, they take the big black head and rush into the mountains, hunt like crazy, and then hand it over to Uncle Chen who is responsible for harvesting the prey at the head of the village to sell in the town. Bai Ling was right, that skirt was really beautiful. When Bai Ling wore it, she was more beautiful than the fairies in the sky.
Later, Bai Ling went to high school in the county and would only come back during the winter and summer vacations. The two would exchange letters every week. From Bai Ling's letters, Lu Shanmin learned about the world outside the mountains. It's so big. Most of the houses in the county are as high as six or seven stories in the village, and some are as high as twenty or thirty stories. The roads are full of four-wheeled cars, and there are also sales The place where you buy things is not called a canteen, it is called a shopping mall. A shopping mall is more than ten times larger than the basketball court in front of the village committee. The things inside are staggeringly expensive. A good handbag costs thousands of dollars. There is a place specifically for people to drink, called a bar. There are wine, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple in all colors.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, the winter vacation is finally here. When he saw Bai Ling for the first time, Lu Shanmin couldn’t believe his eyes. Bai Ling became beautiful again, his skin became much whiter, and his upper body Wearing a red down jacket, tight jeans, and white sneakers, Lu Shanmin thought to himself, this is probably what the stars in the movie look like. He thought of thousands of words, but when he saw someone, he couldn't say a word. Lu Shanmin picked up Bai Ling's luggage and walked forward with a naive smile. Bai Ling was the only one talking all the way. It was the city that was so nice. For the first time, Lu Shanmin felt that Bai Ling was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
Later, Bai Ling didn’t come back during the summer vacation after his freshman year of high school. He said he couldn’t keep up with his English scores, so he planned to take part-time jobs in two months to buy something called a repeater. Lu Shanmin didn’t know about repeaters. I wonder what a machine is, but I heard from Bai Ling that it only appeared in recent years, and costs seven to eight hundred yuan each. Lu Shanmin didn't think deeply about why this thing was so expensive. It was expensive enough to cost a family in Mazui Village for a year. He only knew that it was what Bai Ling wanted and he should buy it for her.
What is the most valuable thing in the mountains is undoubtedly the paws of blind bears. According to Lao Huang, apart from being bigger, bear paws are not much different from the paws of chickens, ducks and geese. Lushan people do not understand the people outside the mountains. Why they are so fond of bear paws can only be attributed to the fact that things are rare and valuable. In the past, the Lushan people only followed Da Heitou into the mountains to fight the blind bear once, but Da Heitou had already left Mazui Village to join the army.
Lu Shanmin did not hesitate. He carried a hunting gun and a hunting knife and took Xiao Huang into the mountain.
Lu Shanmin had never felt scared before with the big black head blocking his way. When facing an angry black bear alone, Lu Shanmin felt fear for the first time. but he didn'tHe retreated and roared crazily at the big black bear to suppress the fear in his heart.
When the news spread that the Lushan people had carried an adult bear back to the village alone, the villagers were extremely surprised. Mazui Village had been hunters for generations, and that was a big black bear, not a wild one. Roe deer, without a few experienced hunters around, hunting alone is tantamount to death. They didn't know that Lu Shanmin fainted just after carrying the blind bear home, which weighed several hundred kilograms. His chest and back were covered with bloody grooves left by the bear's claws. He was in a coma for three days under Lao Huang's treatment. It took three nights to wake up.
A rustling sound came from the roof, interrupting Lu Shanmin's thoughts.
The girl with braided horns sat down next to Lu Shanmin and followed Lu Shanmin's gaze, "Are you still thinking about her? Grandpa Lu often said that studying can make you sensible. Maybe she will be able to do so after four years of college." I understand the truth. Maybe I will come back when I figure it out."
The motherless child has been in charge of the family for a long time. He has followed the old magic stick for these years, doing laundry, cooking and cleaning, and the people in the village come and go. She takes care of everything by herself. Rather than saying that the old man is raising her, it is better to say that she is raising the old man. Although he is only fourteen years old, he talks like a little adult and knows how to change his words. Comforting. No one in the village knows who would be willing to come back once they leave the village. < /p>
The braided girl named Liu Ni looked at Lu Shanmin in surprise, stretched out her hand to touch Lu Shanmin’s forehead, frowned and said, “You don’t have a fever, why do you sound more and more like Grandpa Lu?” "It wasn't like this before."
Lu Shanmin was stunned for a moment and thought about what he just said. It seemed that he sounded a bit like his grandfather.
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "You are about to go to junior high school and become a big girl. Next time you go to the market, I will accompany you to the town to buy two nice clothes."
The girl with the crotch braid looked slightly red, but luckily it was at night so she couldn't see it.
“Brother Shanmin, I’ve thought about it, I really don’t plan to go to junior high school.”
Lu Shanmin frowned, “Now I don’t have to pay tuition for junior high school. I'll pay for your living expenses."
The braided girl raised her arm and hit Lu Shanmin hard on the head, "You really care about food and not fights, so you are not afraid that I will become the second white-eyed wolf.
Lu Shanmin touched his head and showed a wry smile, "I know you are worried that I will be alone after you leave, but you can rest assured, maybe I will get out of this before you do." Village."
The braided girl suddenly turned her head and widened her eyes. "You want to leave the village."
Lu Shanmin nodded, then shook his head, "I just had this idea."
The girl with braided horns was a little unhappy. She had never thought of leaving Mazui Village. In the past few years, the young people in the villageThere are fewer and fewer young people, and the big blackheads are gone. If Lu Shanmin also leaves, no one will care about and care for him anymore.
Pouted, "Your illness has not been cured yet."
Lu Shanmin patted his chest, "I am now the strongest hunter in the village. Look at me like this. Are you sick?"
The braided girl lowered her head. Except for Lao Huang and Grandpa Lu who said that Lu Shanmin was sick, the whole village did not believe that Lu Shanmin was sick at all. Except for the big blackhead, Lu Shanmin was already recognized by the village The most powerful hunter has no trace of illness in his body.
"Why do you want to go out?"
Lu Shanmin looked at the round moon in the sky with a smile, "I want to go out and see if the outside world is as beautiful as she said."< /p>
There is a primary school in Mazui Village. When Lu Shanmin went to school, there were enough students in one class for each grade in the school. With more and more people going out, the whole school now has There are only thirty or forty teachers left.
