In the corner of Wuzhen, near the mountains and dense forests, there is a simple wooden house. The top of the wooden house is paved with thatch, soil and green stones. After years of exposure to the sun, it has hardened and become very tough and dense, and the rain can not get in.
Although the wooden house is simple and solid, it is still tied to the wooden piles with ropes around. Because the wooden house is on the slope, it is paved with pebbles to lead to the road.
Around the wooden house, there are several old willows. According to legend, these old willows have been planted for many years. It seems that they were planted in the great grandfather's generation of the mayor of Wuzhen. Later, the number of households in Wuzhen town increased and expanded. All the old willows of that generation were cut down to make room for building houses. There were only a few left, because it was so remote that no one wanted to live here.
It was at noon that a middle-aged woman came out of the wooden house. Her long hair was tied in the back of her head with a bamboo stick. Years and hard work have carved marks on her body. The lines around her eyes are very dense and deep, but you can see her gentle appearance when she was young.
She came out all the way, poured some rice washing water beside several trees, coughed a few times, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and sighed.
"Aung."
A lovely and smart cry came. She was a 14-year-old girl in a plain white robe with delicate facial features. She was the mayor's daughter, Gu Xin'er.
A Niang is a special address of Wuzhen, which is generally used to address the elder women.
Gu Xin'er has a worried look on his face and carries some melons and fruits in his hand.
The middle-aged woman turned to see Gu Xin'er and immediately chuckled gently: "heart son."
In Wuzhen, the middle-aged woman and her only son were bullied and ostracized. Only the mayor's attitude towards their mother and son was relatively friendly. Gu Xin'er, the mayor's daughter, had always been closer to the mother and son, visiting from time to time.
"You must remember to take medicine for your cold disease. If you don't have enough medicine, tell xiner, and xiner will be ready for you."
The middle-aged woman nodded with a smile. What she thought in her heart was how dare she open her mouth? If the people in Wuzhen know about it, they have to stab their mother and son in the spine, which may upset the mayor.
The middle-aged woman stretched out her hand and pointed to the wooden house: "Every son is still inside."
Gu Xin'er's face became more and more worried: "it has been many days, brother Meng fan, what's the matter?"
With that, Gu Xin'er walked into the wooden house, leaning like a butterfly.
After that, Meng fan sees gu'er at last.
He nests in the corner of the bed, wrapped in a quilt, as if he was sick and afraid of the cold, but now it is summer.
His eyes were full of helplessness and fear.
Meng fan took a look at Xin'er, and quickly withdrew his eyes, as if he had been stabbed into his eyes, and then closed it.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xin'er wants to talk but stops. He turns out of the wooden house and comes to Meng's mother.
Meng's mother is still watering the old willows, with her back to Gu Xin'er, but she can still see that there are tears in the corner of her eyes.
Gu xiner waited for a moment, and didn't know what to say.
Although Meng fan was excluded in Wuzhen, and his talent in martial arts was not so good. He was just a second level of physical training, but he was very hard-working and stubborn. Although he didn't have all kinds of natural resources and treasures, he spent more than several times as much time practicing kung fu as other people of the same age in Wuzhen.
No matter how many times Meng fan has been bullied and knocked down, he will always stand up. Moreover, Gu xiner also knows that Meng fan has been secretly stepping into the mountains to collect herbs for his mother. The mountains are very dangerous for them, and they are not allowed to step in easily. Gu xiner knows all of them, but he doesn't pretend not to know.
These are the reasons why Gu Xin'er secretly admires Meng fan.
Gu xiner and her sister are called Wuzhen Shuanglian. They are the daughter of the mayor. They are beautiful and full of youthful vigor. They also have good martial arts talent. Many people secretly admire Gu Xin'er. However, Gu Xin'er is the most pleasing to see Meng fan, and has always called Meng fan brother.
What's wrong with Meng fan now?
In the past, Meng fan was always young and impulsive because he couldn't stand the people's white eyes in the village. However, he was so low that he always suffered losses. Gu Xin'er and Meng's mother had advised Meng fan many times to endure and avoid.
But now, Gu Xin'er would rather Meng fan go out and fight with others, rather than this kind of submissive appearance.
Look, it's pathetic.
But poor man, there must be something hateful.
Be angry.
Now Meng fan, there is no anger.
A few days ago, Meng fan was practicing boxing in front of his house. He suddenly sat on the ground in pain and even howled. He covered his head and shook his head desperately, shouting no, No.
Since then, in the past few days, Meng fan has no intention to practice boxing. He has been lying in bed every day, wincing and hard to fall asleep. As soon as he is asleep, he wakes up and screams in his dream. He doesn't know what he is dreaming of.Good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and soon the people in the village know. Some people say that Meng fan was cursed by his father Meng Cang. They are born with a miserable life, and will also affect the people around them, and so on.
Meng's mother doesn't care about these rumors. She just hopes that Meng fan can get better.
Therefore, Meng's mother has decided to pack up her bags, leave Wuzhen and go to some big cities to ask for the powerful monks. No matter what the cost, she will cure Meng fan.
Meng's mother is very strong, and does not want anyone to see her pain and helplessness, including Meng fan, so she has been hiding.
Gu Xin'er was young, but already very sensible. Knowing Meng's mother's mood, he decided to turn around and leave after several times without saying anything.
But as soon as she turned around, she was stopped by Meng's mother.
"Xin'er, take Meng fan out Go out and have a walk
Gu Xin'er turned her head and saw the helpless eyes of Mencius mother and immediately nodded: "good."
Gu Xin'er and Meng's mother used a lot of strength to make Meng fan get out of bed and drink a few gruel gruel. Then they followed Gu Xin'er and walked toward Wuzhen.
Although Meng fan was staggering along the way, he didn't sleep well and didn't eat well for several days. His body was already very weak, and his eyes were blank. Sometimes he looked a little, and he was in a trance.
After several inexplicable wrong way, Gu Xin'er held Meng fan's hand without hesitation.
This time, Meng fan's whole body is excited, has some color finally on the face.
Gu Xin'er's hand is very thin, soft and warm.
For the first time, Meng fan held the hand of Gu Xin'er.
I'm afraid that the whole Wuzhen Town, except for the mayor and his wife, has never grasped the hand of Gu Xin'er. I don't know how many young people in Wuzhen should be envied.
Meng fan's face has a light red, he is a little nervous, before the fear, also slightly dissipated a little, but, that is just a little.
"A lot of things have happened in the town these days." Although Gu Xin'er was worried, he still had a smile on his face: "Uncle Lei Ze's pharmacy has opened, and a troupe has been invited from nearby Huxiang town. They sing very well. There are several corners in the troupe, and they are very beautiful. It turns out that there are so many beautiful women in the world.
Lei Tao and others started, because he hurt people, was banned for a few days, now we go to see him through the window, laughing to death.
Zhou Baishu will leave in a few days. It is said that he is going to take a big exam in several towns next door. I really envy him. I can go out and have a look.
And... "
Gu Xin'er keeps saying.
Meng fan suddenly said in a leisurely way: "it's very big outside, very big It's better not to go out... "
Gu Xin'er was stunned.
This is actually said from Meng fan's mouth?
After a long time, Gu Xin'er regained his composure and held back his anger. He continued: "there is a new master in the town. He is a very handsome elder brother. He must have come from a big place. He claims to be a painter by selling paintings. He casually uses some mud and well water to draw a picture on a wall, father and Xu in the town What powerful uncles and aunts looked at it, they were very serious. They said that the painting had a very strong verve and the essence of martial arts. Their father said that it was not easy to understand, but if they could understand it, it would be of great benefit.
The Father also said that the handsome elder brother was an ordinary man. He didn't step into martial arts. However, he had such a painter, which showed that he must be gifted or had opened his eyes, so he lent him a house. Now the big brother is painting for free to the people in the town every day. I'll take you to have a look. "
