The autumn wind blows the fallen leaves and rolls up a golden yellow. There is a sun in the sky. At this time, the sun clings to the sky, and it looks cold. Ye Duhong and Caoer went down the hill along the slightly curved path and came to a bay of autumn water. The water here is flowing. If you don't look carefully, you'll just think of it as still water. Sometimes floating leaves on the water, there are heart-shaped, some are not heart-shaped, no matter how you look at it, they all look good. There is a reflection of the sky in the water and a reflection of the trees. Ye Duhong and Caoer approached the autumn water, and the reflection of people appeared in the water.
Caoer suddenly asked Ye Duhong,"Am I beautiful?"Ye Duhong didn't speak, just looking at Caoer in the water. Caoer said,"I asked you a question."Ye Duhong looked at the autumn water in the distance, saying that the place where the water and the sky meet in the distance is beautiful.
Apart from Ye Duhong and Caoer, there may be no one else here, their hearts are quiet here, and not as restless as they were in the busy street. They had nothing to do at this time, and they were in no hurry to go to the"Shadow in Dream"mainland, so they took a walk by the water. They love to take a walk, and when they walk, their hearts flow like a river.
The yellow leaves were very beautiful in Ye Duhong's eyes. He took Caoer to the place where there were many trees. The ground was covered with yellow leaves under his feet, and the leaves were still falling from the top of his head. This scene drew Ye Duhong's thoughts. In Ye Duhong's childhood, he once went to a mountain. On the cliffs of that mountain, there were lush jujube trees. As soon as autumn, jujubes fell down. Because of the wind, when walking on the narrow path under the cliff, you can still see several red dates falling as soon as the wind blows. Ye Duhong loves to pick jujubes. He can pick up crispy dates that are half green and half red, sweet dates that are all red, and sour dates that are all red. All-red sour jujube and sweet jujube are divided into soft and hard jujube, these dates, Ye Duhong have eaten. Ye Duhong is proud to have eaten all kinds of dates, and his pride accompanied him across the cliff. Ye Duhong did research on eating dates. He not only ate a lot of dates, but also knew what he could do with them. What can you do with dates? Many children don't know. Ye Duhong knows that jujube can be used to steam as soft as steamed buns, and jujube can be used to make jujube water. Ye Duhong also knows that drinking jujube water can make people live long. Drink jujube water, people can live to a hundred years old. Ye Duhong talked about jujubes, which can be said to be endless. The yellow leaves fell at this time. Although it was not a jujube, this beauty had satisfied Ye Duhong. Ye Duhong looked up at the tree. Ye Duhong embraced the spirit of the tree.
Ye Duhong and Caoer walked forward again and came to a bony stone, which was covered with yellow leaves and surrounded by long strips of plants. Just among these plants like dishevelled hair, there is a shining thing. Ye Duhong pays attention to it. Oh, the helmet, it's a helmet. This helmet is so familiar, Ye Duhong looks carefully. The helmet Ye Duhong knows is the helmet of the Red Army, which is the helmet used by soldiers to fight. The helmet is stiff and worn on the head to protect the head. Now that the helmet is here, where is the head? Did the soldier in red lose his head? Ye Duhong pulled Caoer forward, thinking he could find a corpse, but he couldn't find it.
Just when Ye Duhong was confused, he found a suit of armor on a pile of fallen leaves. The metal sheet on the armor was shining, and it was still the armor of the soldiers in red clothes. There is hard metal on the armor to protect the body. Strange, there is a helmet and armor on the ground, so where is this red soldier? Ye Duhong paced up and down the ground covered with yellow leaves with many questions. After a while, Ye Duhong patted his forehead, and he finally came up with a possibility that the soldier in red was a deserter. He survived the war, ran around, came here, took off his armor and threw away his helmet to lighten his body so that it was easy to run. Ye Duhong looked at the helmet and armor, and guessed in his heart where the red soldier fled. Ye Duhong didn't know where the red soldier went. If he could find a place and eat a bite of hot rice, that would be great. But if he is in the wilderness, the soldier will starve. Think of this, Ye Duhong has a kind of impulse to cry.
On the hillside not far from the grove, there is a curl of smoke rising. It should be a resident. Ye Duhong and Caoer hurried along the path, and sure enough, they saw a house facing south, which appeared simply in front of them, and they felt cordial.
The two of them saw an old aunt picking vegetables in the yard. The aunt was old but had good spirits and strength. When she saw two people coming in the yard, she stared and asked who they were looking for. Ye Duhong and Caoer have no intention of looking for someone, they came to see here. Ye Duhong and Caoer were touched by the simple atmosphere here, and they asked the old lady where this place was. The old lady laughed and said that this is my home, but this place has no name. The old lady is right. This place has no name. Looking out, it is all natural scenery. This is probably the only house that people live in. The old lady lives here, and her life has been peaceful. But recently, soldiers passed by the door, either red soldiers or free army. When the men in the army came, the old lady was not nervous, and she thought, the people in the army are also people, what can they do to people? In fact, some soldiers are arrogant and domineering. The old aunt was not anxious, she slowly spoke to them, and took out the delicious food at home, such as snacks, corn, and sweet potatoes,etc., for soldiers to eat. Those people saw that the old lady had no appearance and charm, and the second was that the old lady was honest and kind, and they did not hurt her. For the old lady, the occasional soldier is nothing more than to take away the two dates, just as to wash away the dust for those children.
The old lady asked Ye Duhong if there was a war going on outside. Ye Duhong told the old lady,"Yes, there is a fierce war outside. This is a time of war." Ye Duhong sighed that the old lady could have a quiet heart and treat the world calmly as usual. Ye Duhong also lamented that where the old lady was, the life she had was completely isolated from the world, and even if some soldiers fled here in the chaos of war, they were only fleeing in the blink of an eye. The old lady has lived here for a long time, and she has seen all kinds of passers-by, and she is not hurt by the occasional invasion of the outside world.
Three people were exchanging ideas in the yard, and a young man came out of the room. This young man surprised Ye Duhong, and Ye Duhong opened his eyes to see,isn't this Meng Hai? This is Meng Hai. Ye Duhong said,"Are you?"Meng Hai also stared at Ye Duhong. Ye Duhong recognized that this was Meng Hai. Meng Hai stared at Ye Duhong for a while and also recognized Ye Duhong.
The meeting between Ye Duhong and Meng Hai is really a legend. How did they meet here? Whose arrangement is this? Ye Duhong shed tears with pleasure. It turned out that Meng Hai was not dead. The armor and helmet that he saw in the grove were dropped by Meng Hai. On that day, Meng Hai was so hungry that he looked for food and suddenly found a resident here. The old lady saw a disheveled man outside the door, so she took out the delicious food in the home to solve the child's hunger. Meng Hai was rescued by the old aunt, who also took out the medicine at home to heal Meng Hai. Meng Hai told the old lady a story on the battlefield. Although the old lady was frightened to hear it, she still calmly said to Meng Hai,"Everything will pass, no matter how good, no matter how bad, will pass."
Meng Hai survived at the old aunt's house, and usually helped the old aunt to do some work. Just now Meng Hai poured the two buckets of water into the water urn. When he came out, he saw Ye Duhong. What a coincidence.
Meng Hai is not dead. It's good. Ye Duhong is not dead either. It's fine.Those who survive the war are lucky.
