mountain snow

I have never felt that the moon hanging on the zenith is as bright as it is today.

It is like a blinding searchlight, bright and chilly, guiding those who want to rip me off.

"Brother—brother—" I grabbed Yue Sheng's arm with difficulty, my sweaty palms trembling, "I, I can't walk anymore."

Yue Sheng turned his head, his brows tightened, the corners of his lips were tightly pressed, and his eyes were dark.

"Persevere, before dawn, we must climb over this mountain." He said.

I gritted my teeth, my eyes were wet, and I quickly wiped away the tears with my arms.

I don't want to cry, but I can't help it.

Five days ago, the village owner said in front of me that a blessing ceremony would be held before Yue Sheng reported to the university.

I was completely stunned, my feet seemed to be tied to a big rock, dragging me down to the deepest and deepest seabed.

I thought that as long as Yue Sheng didn't get married, I would never be slaughtered.

So, even if he wants to get married, he can definitely save my life.

I have been studying for three years, and I also raised a parrot. I just learned the beauty of this world. Why, why is it suddenly about to be slaughtered?

I poked into the ground like a rootless stake, and if anyone touched me, I would fall down.

I urgently need Yue Sheng to hold me, but after a long silence, he said to the village owner in a very low voice: "Then you should prepare."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

I was led by the fat elder sister to the room I lived in when I first came to Yue's house, just like when I was nine years old.

Little Sun followed us from Qingli City back to Yuejiazhai. He usually screamed and screamed beside me, which was annoying, but now he was taken away by Yue Sheng.

I was left in my little companion's exclusive room, waiting for the sudden fate like sleepwalking.

In a few days, I lost a lot of weight.

I believe in my heart that Yue Sheng will come to save me, I am his younger brother, how could he let me die?

But this is Yuejiazhai.Even the Qingli police can't take Yuejiazhai, what can Yue Sheng do?

I buried myself in the quilt and wept quietly.

I want to go to college with him.

The university that Yue Sheng was admitted to was in a big city in the east, and I have never been to a big city.

"Gah-"

A very low bird call came from outside.

At first, I thought I was hallucinating, but I was sure it was my parrot when I heard the familiar "cracking" sound from the window.

The little sun always knocks on my door with its sharp beak. As soon as I open it, it crawls on my body, which is very annoying.

I opened the window and did see it.

"Ga!" It called again, not the usual happy cry, as if it was secretly reporting to me.

There was something hanging around its neck. I took it off and found it was a very tightly rolled note.

When I opened the note, my pupils trembled slightly.

——I am waiting for you at the inclined door.

It's Yue Sheng's word!

My mind was numb for a while, I couldn't even think, I didn't take anything, and ran towards the inclined door.

The courtyard of the Yue family is very large, with two gates, large and small, and they are all guarded.

The slanted door that Yue Sheng mentioned is actually not a door at all, it is the lowest part of the wall, which is a little slanted.When we didn't want to greet the gatekeeper, we used to turn out the inclined door.

The closer I got to the slanted door, the harder my heart beat.

Brother is waiting for me, brother is waiting for me!

Just thinking about it makes my eye sockets feel like they're going to melt.

I turned to the inclined door and saw a shadow in the distance.

I climbed down faster than I had ever done before, and sprinted towards the shadow.Yue Sheng held me by the hand, his eyes were full of wild waves.

He looked at me silently, which was actually only a short moment, but I felt that it had been a long, long time.

"Go." That was the only word he said to me.

There was no explanation, no explanation, but when he grabbed my wrist, I believed for no reason——I would definitely survive.

We fled into the mountains, the little sun stood quietly on Yue Sheng's shoulders, he had never been so well-behaved.

In the past three years, I have traveled in and out of Yuejiazhai several times by car. It is too far away from the city, and even by car, it would take half a day.At dawn, no, maybe the Yue family will find that we are gone before dawn.

Where have we fled to?Have you left the mountains?

Before, whenever I said "Brother, I can't walk anymore", Yue Sheng would stop and wait for me.

But this time he didn't stop.

I know, he dare not stop.

I hated myself for being a crying bag, I followed him desperately while wiping my tears, but when the moon began to sink, my feet slipped and I fell.

Summer clothes are too thin, I broke my skin.

But I didn't dare to cry out the pain, so I stood up immediately.

There is a shadow in front of him.Yue Sheng squatted down, with his back facing me, and said in a tired voice, "Come on my back."

I cried and wrapped my arms around his neck, and the little sun stood on my head.

No matter how long Yue Sheng carried me, I shed tears, not because of fear, not because Little Sun's claws were pulling my hair.

I don't know why.

Maybe it's because of the love Yue Sheng gave me.

At dawn, we still haven't escaped from the mountains.

"Brother." I didn't drink any water, and my voice was already hoarse, "What should I do?"

"Don't be afraid." Yue Sheng's voice was hoarse than mine, "It's coming soon."

I know that the pursuers must have come out from Yuejiazhai.

I thought Yue Sheng would take me into a cave to hide, and continue walking until dark.

But he seemed tireless, facing the scorching sun, with his back on my back, without taking a step back.

From sunrise to sunset, sunset is another night. When the second night is about to end, we stand on the streets of strange cities, with flashing neon lights in front of us.

This is not Qingli City, but another city.

Yue Sheng didn't take me to Qingli's direction at all, so we were not caught by the pursuers on the way.

I asked, "Brother, where is this?"

"Yezhou." Yue Sheng looked at a building with lights on in front of him, and said softly, "We're finally here."

I know Yezhou, it is also a city, but smaller than Qingli.

I still don't understand why we came to Yezhou, Yue Sheng has already pulled me towards a building with lights on in front.

When I approached, I could clearly see the writing on the building, Yezhou City Public Security Bureau.

I was exhausted and passed out when I entered the police station.When I woke up, I was lying in a small room, and a sister in uniform touched my forehead.

I saw tears in her eyes.

"Where's my brother?" I suddenly felt scared and sat up quickly.

"Don't worry, he is with our captain." My sister said.

"team leader?"

"The captain of the provincial executive team."

I couldn't wait to see Yue Sheng, but my sister couldn't resist me and took me out of the room.

There was a corridor outside, and it was only then that I realized that I was in the Public Security Bureau.

My sister said that the enforcement team was supervising local cases in Yezhou, and it was our sudden appearance that allowed them to grasp the sinful companion customs in Yuejiazhai.

My sister opened the door, and I saw Yue Sheng at a glance.

He also saw me and called "Shanxue".

I immediately ran towards him and threw myself into his arms.

There were many policemen in the office, and on a big screen, the photos Yue Sheng secretly took in Yuejiazhai were played.

A young policeman squatted in front of me and lightly held my hand, "Thank you for providing clues and evidence. I assure you that such cruel things as the Yuejiazhai blessing ceremony will no longer exist."

Yue Sheng and I were closely guarded. Not only did I see many policemen, but also soldiers.

I asked Yue Sheng, "Brother, if they went to Yuejiazhai, will the village owners let the little companion go?"

Yue Sheng did not answer my question for the first time.

I thought his face was terribly gloomy.

He seemed to be worried about something.

"Brother." I tugged at his clothes, "What are you thinking?"

After a while, Yue Sheng shook his head, "They are the most stubborn people."

At the time, I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

most stubborn?So won't you let the other friends in the village go?

But the police have already gone.

After half a month, I didn't understand this sentence.

When the executive team went to Yuejiazhai, they encountered fierce resistance.Under the leadership of the village owner, the villagers attacked the execution team with homemade earthen guns and earthen bombs, and even tied a bomb to a young companion, blowing up a police car.

After the persuasion failed, the enforcement team forcibly entered the village. That night, Yue Sheng's grandfather set fire to the entire courtyard of Yue's family.

Those who died included Yue Sheng's father, all the owners of the Yue Family Village, and those whose names I couldn't name.

The policemen who came back said that they believed that they were guarding the rules passed down from their ancestors until their death.

The sunset glowed red in the sky, and the police cars roared.

Yue Sheng stood on a platform of the Municipal Bureau, quietly looking at the sky.

I looked at his back, my nasal cavity was sore.

Although I am young, I can feel Yue Sheng's pain.

No one will ever become a companion again, and no one will experience what Jin Ming has encountered.

But the price was that Yuejiazhai disappeared in the fire.

I hate the people in Yuejiazhai—except for Yue Sheng and his neighbors, but those who died were Yue Sheng's relatives.

He had the blood of the village master running down his body, and he must have known that the village master would resist with death, that's why he said "they are the most stubborn people" that day.

The friends were saved, but Yue Sheng lost his home.

I walked over and hugged Yue Sheng from behind.

How I wish I had grown taller so he could rest on my shoulders.

If he wants to cry, he can cry on my shoulder.

"Brother, you still have me." I pressed my forehead against his back, "Brother, I will never leave you."
