"Brother Yuan, why are those people so afraid of you!"

"Because, they thought I was a lunatic!"

"Why? They're crazy!"

"Because, I am different from them. In their eyes, I am an alternative! When they go to herd cattle on the mountain, I read books alone at home, they jump ropes in the courtyard, I practice boxing at home, they are all the people, I am alone! Xiaoyong, remember, what you do is different from everyone, everyone will always treat you as a madman!"

"Brother Yuan, why don't you play with them! Isn't that good?"

"Beasts always walk alone, and cattle and sheep are in groups!"

"Oh! I don't understand!"

"A bunch of little brats have a way to play!"

"Brother Yuan, why do you like reading books?"

"I'm looking at the world!"

"I still don't understand!"

"This place is too poor and too closed, so I can't go out and read it. I can only learn about the outside world through books and read books, not to take the college entrance exam, but to understand the essence of this world, to understand right and wrong, to know good and evil, and to understand the truth!"

"Brother Yuan, why do they call you Kaiyang?"

"Because, on the day I was born, there was a strange phenomenon. An old man said, "I came down to earth from Kaiyang Star! So I named me Wu Kaiyang!"

"Wow! What is Kaiyang Star!"

"The sixth star of the Big Dipper! Also called Wu Qu Star! Some people say that it represents resoluteness, decisiveness, self-reliance and self-reliance, while others say that it represents withdrawn, stubbornness, and self-righteousness! I am ten years old now, and it seems that the old man is right. I am not sociable!"

"Then why are you, Brother Yuan?"

"Ha! I don't like the name Kaiyang, and my father doesn't care about me, so I chose a name myself, Zhiyuan! Do you know what it means?"

"have no idea……"

"High ambitions! Because I don't want to stay in this mountain kaka. In the future, I will go out and see how big the world is! How wonderful it is!"

"Okay! Brother Yuan, I'll be with you!"

These are two little boys, one in front and the other behind, the former, with sword-eyed eyebrows and starry eyes, and his head held high and his chest. He pulled a thin and unkempt little boy and came to a small courtyard.

This yard is full of fruit trees, one of which has apricots, peach trees, and cherries.

"I'm home!" Zhiyuan pointed to the old house in front of him and said.

This is a wooden slate house with three large rooms, each divided into two grids, all divided by wooden boards. On the left is the bedroom, in the middle, in the lobby and altar, on the right, in the inner room is the kitchen, and in the outer room is a floor house with wooden windows, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, facing the courtyard.

"Let's go! Let's go home!" Zhiyuan took Zheng Yong's hand, stepped onto the nine-story stone steps, and strode into the door.

"Grandma, I'm back home!" Zhiyuan shouted through the lobby and into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, there was an old man with kind eyes and white hair. She was holding a spatula and she was cooking.

Hearing the shouts, she turned around and her eyes fell on Zheng Yong.

"Yo! Which doll is this?"

Grandma put down the spatula, came to Zheng Yong, and looked carefully, "It's a cold day, I'm wearing such a little bit, this kid is frozen, Xiao Kai, go find clothes to change it for him!"

"Call grandma! Why are you standing there?" Zhiyuan glared at Zheng Yong, "It's my grandma, and it's your grandma!"

"Hello grandma!" Zheng Yong said timidly.

"Grandma, he can't find his home, so I took him home. From now on, our home will be his home!" Zhiyuan said.

"Okay, okay! Now you have a companion, and you and the people in the village can't get along!" Grandma said with heartache, holding Zheng Yong's face, "Oh! Why is your nose and swollen face? Have you been beaten? Xiao Kai, take him to apply medicine!"

"I will arrange it! Grandma, I'll come to help you prepare the New Year's Eve dinner later!" Zhiyuan said.

"Just don't make trouble for me. Go and wash him. Just wait until the rice is cooked." Grandma waved.

"Grandma is so good!" Zheng Yong whispered.

"That's it!" Zhiyuan took Zheng Yong and climbed up the wooden stairs and came to the wooden floor.

This is his room, which is only a wall from the kitchen. Here, he can hear grandma's spatula and nagging. Here, he can see the small courtyard and vegetable garden outside, and the fruit trees, which he planted by himself.

He was very satisfied.

Zhiyuan walked out of the room with a set of clothes.

Finally, he opened a door from the wooden building.

"Brother Yuan, where is this? It's so dark!" Zheng Yong asked weakly.

"Niu Feng!" Zhiyuan said with pride. He turned on the light, "I don't feed cows at home, so I use them to practice boxing. Look, what is that?"

Following the direction of Zhiyuan's finger, right in front, there was a wooden stake, and there was a sandbag hanging next to it, as well as some fitness equipment.

Zheng Yong's eyes lit up. He came to the wooden stake and touched it carefully. At first glance, he liked this place, especially this wooden stake.

"I went up the mountain to collect herbs and saved money to buy them! Hehe, it's amazing!" Wu Zhiyuan patted his chest and said.

"Awesome! Brother Yuan is so awesome! Can you teach me how to practice boxing in the future?" Zheng Yong said eagerly.

"Why do you want to learn this?" Wu Zhiyuan frowned, "I originally said that after the New Year, I will take you to school!"

"I practice boxing, and I don't want to be beaten in the future!" Zheng Yong clenched his fist, extremely firm.

"You are my brother, no one dares to beat you!" Zhiyuan said, and suddenly rose into the air, like an eagle hitting the sky, extremely elegant.

"Bang!" A round kick kicked on the sandbag, and a muffled sound came from the sandbag, shaking left and right.

At this time, Zhiyuan's body fell to the ground.

Zheng Yong opened his eyes wide and shone with dazzling brilliance!

Brother Yuan, so handsome!

"This is nothing!" Zhiyuan shook his head and punched the sandbag again. "If one day, I punched the sandbag and the sandbag didn't move, that would be the highest level!"

Zheng Yong stayed there, dazed and dazed.

This scene was extremely shocking to him.

"Brother Yuan, I must learn boxing from you!" Zheng Yong murmured.

He was thinking, if Brother Yuan was so powerful, who would dare to bully him in the future, then no matter where he went to find his mother, he would not have to be beaten.

"I'll talk about this later!" Zhiyuan said, "Take off your clothes first!"

"Ah?" Zheng Yong was stunned.

"I'm so stupid! I'm afraid I'll look at you!" Zhiyuan glared at him, pointed at a steaming wooden barrel, "Take it off, go in and bubble it!"

"But..." Zheng Yong hesitated. He still had his body, afraid of water and pain.

"That water, I put herbs in! This was originally prepared for me. After practicing boxing every day, I will bubble up!" Zhiyuan became impatient, "Hurry up, a man, are you still afraid of pain? That's the potion. If you soak for a while, it will be good for you!"

"Brother Yuan... can you turn around?" Zheng Yong lowered his head and timidly.

"Oh! I'm not too thin, I'm still shy! Look at you like a bear!" Zhiyuan waved his hand and turned around, "I don't have time to mess with you, I'll go to help my grandma cook food!"

"Brother Yuan, thank you!" Zheng Yong looked at Zhiyuan's back, wiped away his tears and gently closed the door.

Then, he took off his clothes and walked into the wooden barrel.

"Hiss!" Zheng Yong took a breath, and a severe pain came from his whole body, and a scorching pain. He gritted his teeth, silently endured it.

I don’t know how long it took, but he felt that his whole body was no longer hurting, and his muscles and bones were extremely comfortable.

At this moment, Zhiyuan opened the door and walked in with two buckets of hot water.

"Come out, let go of the water inside, wash it again, I'll give you a haircut!" Zhiyuan said.

"Oh!" Zheng Yong's eyes flashed and hesitated.

"It's so twitchy, okay, I won't watch it!" Zhiyuan turned around.

Taking this opportunity, Zheng Yong came out of the barrel but curled up next to the barrel.

"Brother Yuan, I'm out!" Zheng Yong whispered.

"Forget it this time!" Zhiyuan said seriously, "Xiaoyong, remember one thing, men, no matter where they go, they must hold their heads up and be upright! Look at what you are now?"

Zhiyuan cursed, putting the water in the wooden barrel dry, and then pouring the water in again.

"This wooden barrel, designed by me, is designed by me, and this sewage flows out, and you can go to the vegetable garden to water trees! It is inconvenient for us to get water several kilometers away, and we have to go to carry water several kilometers away. Grandma is old and can't carry it. I will pick it myself. You will wash it. Tomorrow, I will take you to the river to wash it! Come in quickly!"

"Oh!" Zheng Yong jumped into the wooden barrel.

At this time, he realized that his body was being held tightly by Zhiyuan.

"Don't move, I'll cut your hair!" Zhiyuan picked up the scissors and was meticulous.

"When you are like this, no matter where you go, others will treat you as a madman or a beggar. It would be strange if you don't hit you!" Zhiyuan said, "Don't hold a grudge against your children. The people here are very simple and fierce. During the Chinese New Year and the holidays, they have to beat passers-by. This is a custom!"

"I understand!" Zheng Yong whispered.

"Do you know why their adults don't care about those children hit you?" Zhiyuan asked.

"Didn't you say that they beat me up as a lunatic?" Zheng Yong asked in confusion.
