"I just ran into the mountains with the birds and got lost." The little boy smiled and said, "But I came out later. Look, isn't it okay for me?"

"You little guy is really. You always run out while I am not paying attention. There are so many dangers in the mountain. What if you have any problems, how can Aunt Cai explain to your parents who are working outside?" The woman blamed her for a few words, but she couldn't bear to say anything harsh.

"It's okay. I've visited all the nearby mountains and forests, there's no danger~"

"Why didn't you? You are just a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Go back and change your clothes quickly. Look at you, your clothes are wet."

The boy and the woman's voice gradually faded away and she returned home.

Next, the boy would go to play with the old man from time to time, help him with his hands, and learn to make various things with him.

The meeting in this valley is the common secret between the two of them.

They became more and more familiar with each other. Both old and young are bold. They once ran to the top of the mountain in the middle of the night to wait for meteors, chased fireflies together and barbecue in the wild, skiing together...

As the little boy grew up, he could help the old man more and more.

It’s a pity that the plan to be a mechanical bird has not been completed because the boy never could make a satisfactory look.

Although the old man could guide him to make the interior, he did not guide him how to make a good-looking appearance. Moreover, the mechanical bird he made himself was ugly.

However, the boy is not the ignorant child at the time, and he is not anxious about being able to make a satisfied mechanical bird. Anyway, he is now able to save money to buy other gifts for his sister.

Their lives were originally very peaceful, until the boy was thirteen years old, when they saw a meteor falling into the mountains not far from them.

The old man and the boy naturally would not miss this opportunity to hunt for curiosity, so they searched for it excitedly.

Finally, they found a burnt area and slowly came over.

There was a large charred pit with a diameter of 100 meters, which was obviously smashed by a meteorite.

But what surprised the two was that there was only a purple stone the size of a human head in the pit, which was still shining in the night.

Such a small stone is so powerful?

"I'll go down and take it up." The boy said as he was about to step forward.

"Wait, this stone is probably not simple." The old man squinted his eyes and stared at the shining purple light, "It's better for me..."

"Grandpa, let me do it. Such a deep pit is not easy to climb. If you think it is dangerous, you can give me the tools." The boy said.

“That’s right.”

The old man took out a pair of thick gloves and handed them to the boy to signal him to put them on, and then said, "The stone may be very heavy. I will put a basket down in a while. Just move the stone into the basket. I will pull it up, otherwise it will be difficult for you to climb up with such a big stone."

"Okay, leave it to me!"

The boy slid down the edge of the pit and slowly approached the stone.

The purple-red stones emitted a brilliant light, which attracted a lot of attention. At least the boy was deeply attracted at this moment.

He reached out and prepared to lift the stone.

However, just as his hand touched the meteorite, the stone suddenly emitted an extremely brilliant light, and the purple-red instantly filled his vision!

Cheng Mo sat up from the bed all of a sudden, feeling still scared.

Looking around, this is...the room of...Nine.

He slowly came to his senses and it turned out to be a dream.

It turned out that he fell asleep unknowingly.

It's just the dream...what happened?

The old man in the dream is the crazy old man who has been with him all the time, but he looks younger at that time.

The boy is early summer.

But why did I dream of the encounter between early summer and the old man when I was a child?

And it's so clear, just like it's actually happening.

I'm obviously Cheng Mo...

But the feeling of palpitations when I finally encountered the purple-red stone was really real.

What exactly is that?

Cheng Mo stood up a little annoyed and walked out.

A slightly purple light had already appeared in the horizon of the half world, and the sky was almost dawn. I didn't expect to sleep here all night.

Cheng Mo was too lazy to go back to his room, but slowly walked to the foot of the mountain.

But I saw the old man sneaky figure halfway through.

Since leaving on the Nine, the old man has never been to the top of the mountain again, and he will deliberately avoid Cheng Mo.

He didn't have the courage to meet Cheng Mo, because he felt guilty about the Nine incident.

Although that was the wish and request of No. 9, he did not dare to face Cheng Mo after all, which caused No. 9's early death.

Cheng Mo walked over quickly and blocked the old man's must-pass path.

The old man had just lowered his head at first, and the sky was dark and he hadn't noticed it yet. He suddenly saw the figure in front of him and was shocked.

"It's Xiao Chengzi... You didn't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you here to scare me, the old man?" The old man said guiltily.

Cheng Mo said calmly: "It's almost dawn."

"Oh...oh, too." The old man said, "Then why don't you go and pack up and prepare for the mission. Why are you blocking me here?"

"What did you do when you ran to the valley so early? I remember that guy Luo Luo always got up very late."

"I can go and play by myself! There are so many interesting things in her place..." The old man finally looked up at him, "What's going on with you kid today? Is the household registration?!"

Cheng Mo was indifferent to his dissatisfaction: "Why haven't you come to the top of the mountain recently? Didn't you run to my house if you have anything to do?"

"This... this is not... well, I'm busy lately." The old man suddenly began to speak incoherently, knowing which pot this kid doesn't open to pick up which pot...

"Don't you like the environment on the top of the mountain? Since you can stand the pressure, come and have a lot of time. Anyway, you are already familiar with how to sneak into my house." Cheng Mo said lightly: "By the way, just remember not to mess up my room."

"You..." The old man raised his head in surprise. Isn't this guy going to pursue Xiaojiu anymore?

When he discovered the problem just now, he seemed to be swallowing me like that!

"Don't you like to come?" Cheng Mo's expression could not tell any meaning of prosecution.

"How is that possible! As long as you don't dislike me," the old man said hurriedly.

"Um."

"Don't you dislike me?"

"Um."

"I really don't dislike it?"

“…”

"I really don't dislike it?"

"...You'd better not come."

"I won't!" The old man was so happy, as if he had a child who had gotten candy.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you to the valley. The road over there is not easy to walk." Cheng Mo didn't say anything, but walked straight forward.

"Who said that for me, that's not a problem!" The old man hurriedly followed and whispered: "Little Orange, did you eat something wrong today?"

"If you don't want me to accompany you, just say it."

"I think! Come and do a favor to me." The old man laughed and pulled his clothes, as if he was afraid that Cheng Mo would really leave.

In the dim light, there was a crystal clear light flashing in his old eyes.

Let’s shuttle through the mountains and forests to the valley... This has not been passed in many years!

I thought I would never have a chance to feel it again...

Cheng Mo was silent and took the old man to clear out the weeds, just as the boy in his dream did.

No matter what the old man has to do with Chu Xia, there is no doubt that the fact that he is good to him is good to him.

This is worth treating each other sincerely.
