Chapter 1 Conversation with the Wild Boar

The winter in the hilly areas of Guanzhong is severe and long. Four consecutive years of drought have left large areas of land exposed under the sun. When the wind blows, dust flies, and the sky becomes gray.

The world has become a world of loess, and people can only shrink and seek to survive in the dust. Some people die and will not be covered with loess for long.

The tall Qinling Mountains have been a barrier between the north and the south since ancient times. High mountains and mountains allow the loess dust to fall on the sunny side of the mountains and do not invade the south!

Lantian County is at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, which is as cold as the Loess Plateau. Because of the Qinling Mountains and it is at the source of the river, it is not drought here. Although it is mostly mountains, it is already considered a rare fish and rice place in Guanzhong.

A thin blue mist lingers on the mountainside, slowly drifting with the morning breeze, causing the snow-capped Jade Mountain to appear and disappear from time to time.

In the village at the foot of the mountain, there were occasionally two rooster crows. The rooster crows could not penetrate the mist and was locked firmly at the foot of the mountain, and eventually turned into a low whimper.

Unlike the Jade Mountain covered with snow and green pine and cypress, there is a bare mountain beside it.

This mountain was originally covered with trees like other mountain bags. It was only because the Yun clan persisted in cutting wood here for many years that the mountain became a bald mountain.

It is said that it is a bald mountain, but it is actually covered with grass, but compared with the lush jade mountain, it seems a bit inconspicuous.

A small, round black dot appeared at the foot of the Tushan Mountain. First, he looked up at the tall Yushan Mountain, and then he firmly began to climb the Tushan Mountain.

The skylight gradually became brighter, and Yun Zhao's little face became clearer. His pair of black eyes that seemed to be able to close the light, making people unable to retract their eyes.

The body is too young, so Yun Zhao needs to use hands and feet to overcome the slippery ground and send his body to the top of the mountain with all his efforts.

The equipment he was wearing was not suitable for climbing mountains. Whether it was Yun Zhaole's cotton jacket like a silkworm, thick cotton pants, clumsy cotton shoes, or a red tiger-headed hat handed down on his head, they all became obstacles to climbing mountains.

However, he climbed the mountain.

But there were already guests on the bluestone slab I sat on on weekdays.

Yun Zhao still struggled to move to the edge of the bluestone slab, so a guest took the initiative to give him some place.

When the Great Malaysian Golden Knife sat down, Yun Zhao let out a long breath. The person was too small and his lung capacity was not enough, so he did not have the effect of exhaling and turning into an arrow.

Bluestone slabs are the place with the most sunshine in winter. At this time, the sun is still behind Yushan. Yun Zhao raised his face and let Bo Xi fall on his red and fat face in the morning. After a long time, he said to the guests around him: "Do you know who I am?"

The guest was indifferent, and only a little guest leaned against him and rubbed him hard. Yun Zhao immediately sat on the ground.

There was still some snow on the ground, and Yun Zhao didn't feel the pain. He patted Xuemozi on his butt and sat on the bluestone again.

The guest didn't like to listen to him, so he closed his mouth. In the days when winter was about to pass, basking in the sun was more important than anything else.

The little guest is easy to talk, but the big guest is hard to talk. Whether it is his fur as hard as armor, the two fangs that were turned out from his mouth, and more than a dozen scars left after competing with the leopard, it proves that he is the owner of this bluestone slab, and Yun Zhao is an optional guest.

A little wild boar with patterns on his back had just emerged from under his mother's belly. His belly was bulging, and there were still two drops of ** left on the corner of his mouth. He took his long mouth and urged Yun Zhao to drink the sweet ** generously.

Yun Zhao thanked the others for his kindness, took out a piece of millet bun from his arms and handed it to the little wild boar.

The big wild boar stood up, stretched out his long nose and sniffed the millet buns on Yun Zhao's hand. He didn't notice anything was wrong, so he slowly climbed down again and continued to breastfeed the other few little wild boars that were not full.

Yun Zhao broke the steamed buns and fed them to the little wild boar little by little. The little wild boar ate very happily.

"I actually don't know who I am, I became someone else's son in a daze...

I always feel that the world is not right, or that I am not right. In short, one side made a big mistake.

Xiaoliu, tell me, is it because I am wrong or the world is wrong?

For the past six months, I have been pretending to be fools and dare not speak, for fear that I would drown when I say something wrong.

But I can't stop talking. My stupid son from the landlord's family has long been famous. If I continue to pretend to be stupid, I think my nominal mother would probably be stupider than me.

A widow with a naturally silly son, and if she wants to survive, she will only have a tough way.

She is not really tough like your mother. Even if you don’t have a father, she can take good care of you.

That woman was not good, her toughness was all pretending. Only when she hugged me and cried in the middle of the night could I see the hesitation and misery in her eyes.

You may not know that I am the only hope of that widow. She has been in a very hard life in the past few years. There are always people who want to adopt their son to her, a fool. Do you think I want to become smart?"

The little wild boar seemed to have no time to listen to Yun Zhao's nonsense. He had just finished eating the millet buns. The fragrance of the grain made him unable to stop, so at this moment, he was licking Yun Zhao's hand.

The sun slowly rose, and the bluestone slab became warmer. More pigs had their stomachs full and began to stand on the edge of the bluestone slab to bask in the sun, while the huge wild boar seemed to be asleep.

The little wild boar is very well-behaved and attractive. They squatted beside Yun Zhao, thinking about the meaning of life towards the rising red sun.

The red sun poked out from the hillside of Yushan Mountain, hanging lazily there, weak and weak. There was originally some faint cold mist in the valley, but when the sun came out, it slowly dissipated.

Once the world becomes bright and everything is shining brightly. After the dark mind is steamed by the sun, the world will appear very boring.

There is still a mountain on the other side of the mountain, with only one gap leading to the distance. After three turns and two turns, it is blocked by the hills.

The smoke from the village at the foot of the mountain is rising. In fact, these smoke cannot bring people any good food, it is nothing more than some thin porridge that can reveal the shadows.

In winter, there is not much work to do. Follow the busy time and the Guanzhong people who eat thin food in their spare time will never waste an extra grain.

Therefore, such a breakfast is not attractive to Yun Zhao...

The big wild boar is actually very warm, so Yun Zhao leans on the wild boar's belly. Fleas are rarely seen on the wild boar in winter. At the foot of Yushan, there are many hot springs with the smell of sulfur. The wild boars that are more diligent than humans are naturally cleaner than humans.

Although they have been together for half a year, the wild boar has not had the ability to answer Yun Zhao's words. Perhaps they think that speaking to this monster with a black body and a red head that is not threatening them with two feet is a very depreciating behavior.

"Her son is a fool himself. When I came over, his head was empty and he was pretending nothing.

In addition to some instinctive consciousness of eating and drinking, it is as clean as a piece of white paper, like a shell specially prepared for me.

This made me feel a little guilty, and I don’t know if I deprived others of their survival or if he used me in the dark.

You guys, should I use this body with confidence?

Tell me, do I look like a thief like this?"

The big wild boar hummed twice in dissatisfaction, twitched his itchy belly with his hind legs a few times, turned over, and let the sun bake the other side of his body.

Gossiping while basking in the sun will cause more disgust. Yun Zhao is a polite person. Even if he wants to speak very much, he shuts his mouth again.

In the hazy state, the big wild boar behind Yun Zhao stood up suddenly and let out a harsh scream. Yun Zhao's small body was overturned by the wild boar. He fell to his senses and heard a more shrill female voice screaming, "My son..."

As soon as Yun Zhao got up, he saw a woman wearing a blue double-breasted jacket jumping out from behind a large stone at an extremely fast speed. Holding a wooden fork in his hand, he bravely rushed towards the huge wild boar.

Behind her was a dozen big men, but they seemed to be unable to run away from the woman with little feet or were unwilling to run past the woman...

The wild boar hissed, and eight little wild boars quickly penetrated under their mother's belly. Smoke and dust rolled down to the other hillside, and soon disappeared into the low bushes.

This is just a daily game for wild boars, and they have experienced more of this kind of thing. Yun Zhao was not interested in watching this scene.

However, Yun Zhao could see clearly that the woman in blue had a ferocious face. She ran wildly while frightening the wild boar and flew everywhere... It seemed that she was really scared!

The wild boar ran away, the woman threw away the wooden fork and carried Yun Zhao into her arms, crying like a pig.

"My son, if you have a few mistakes, how can you let Wei's mother live? You killed me this day, why are you going up the mountain before dawn? You scared me to death..."

Yun Zhao stared at the woman with tears and snot all over her face. Somehow, her heart was so warm that she raised her hand to wipe the sweat, tears, and snot on the woman's face. But these things were wiped more and more, and they were pressed against the woman's chest, and she could still feel her beating heart.

"My mother, I'm fine. These pigs are my friends."

The woman continued howling loudly, hugging Yun Zhao with both hands, as if she wanted to press him into her body.

She didn't hear anything Yun Zhao said. Fear grabbed her consciousness and just wanted to protect her lost son in her arms.

After a little regaining his senses, he wiped the tears from his face, hugged Yun Zhao and looked at the men and said viciously: "Did you lure my son here?"

A man in green bowed helplessly: "Miss of the Yun family, I really don't do our business. Your little boy is sick and likes to run up the mountain on weekdays. Why do you blame us?"

After hearing these words, Yun Niang became even more angry and pointed at the man in the lead and said, "Yunqi, it may be yours. It's not been your plan for my orphan and widowed mother for a day or two. Now, do you want to kill my son so that you can achieve the purpose of adopting your stupid son?

I understand and tell you, even if my son is gone, you can’t imagine it. I just burned Yun’s house with a torch, and I won’t leave you a single and a half-dozen piece of paper!”

Yunqi said furiously: "You gave birth to a stupid son and have lost all the face of Yun's family. In recent years, how many of the Yun family's fields, waterways, mountains, and Chaishan have been occupied by the surname Qian?

It is because the leader of my Yun clan is a fool. He adopted my son to you. It is not as dirty as you think. It is for our Yun clan, and it is for the sake of my Yun clan, so that my Yun clan will no longer be bullied."

Yun Niang sneered and said, "Are you better than me?"

Yunqi snorted coldly and said, "You love your son so much, let your son call you "Mom" first!"

Yun Niang looked at her son in her arms with some guilt, but found that her son looked at her with a smile, and turned her big black eyes and shouted "Mom!"

Yun Niang was ecstatic and hugged Yun Zhao tightly, her lips fell on her son's face like raindrops. After kissing her enough, she laughed and said to Yun Qi: "Whoever dares to say that my son is a fool in the future, I will tear his mouth apart and take back all the land rented to them, starving you, the group of poor people with no conscience, to death."

Yun Qi looked at Yun Zhao in Yun Niang's arms tightly, and after a while, he bowed and said, "It's nothing great to call me, you can only be good at studying!"

Yun Zhao hugged his mother's neck and avoided Yunqi's gaze and said, "Mom, can I study with my husband tomorrow?"

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll invite you the best gentleman tomorrow!"

Yun Niang's smile rose from the base of her neck and spread rapidly to her body. Finally, it was overflowing on her face. I don't know where the strength came from. Her thin arms actually raised the fat Yun Zhao high and shouted at the men present with all their strength: "My son is going to study, and my son is not a fool!"

Yunqi was stunned and said quietly for a while: "Your son is possessed by evil spirits. I saw it just now. He is talking to the wild boar spirit. He is a monster!"

Yun Niang giggled and said, "Even if you are possessed by evil spirits, the one who is involved is the evil spirit of the Yun family. It was the ancestor who saw my orphan and widowed mother suffering, so he sent this wild boar spirit to open my son's mind.

Yunqi, listen to me. From today on, all the paddy fields you have reclaimed. If you want to eat, go to the dry mountains to dig food. If you dare to accuse my son again, I will invite you to become a monk and kill you!”

Yunqi said furiously: "Yun clan is not your Yun clan."

Yun Niang sneered: "Even if you want to open a ancestral hall, you have to wait until next autumn. You can get through next year's youth and bad years."

After saying that, she hugged Yun Zhao and went down to Tushan first. Her heart was very happy. She looked at her son in her arms without blinking. The wind was coming from her feet. She wanted to step back to the Yun family village and declare to everyone that the son she gave birth to was not a fool.

Yun Zhao lay in his mother's arms, put his head on her shoulder, looked at the group of wild boars that had turned around the foot of the mountain, waved his hand from afar, and said goodbye to them.

From today on, he completely let go of his heart and merged with this body with all his heart.
