"Sada, did you fall asleep last night? You couldn't be happy all night long and couldn't bear to sleep, right?"
"Damn Axi, it's a good thing that Axi is back. Why do you wipe your eyes when you hear Axi's name? Stop crying..."
"Where's Agui? Where have you gone? This kid is grinning as if he wants to get a wife... Hey Agui, I was talking about you just now. Your parents didn't even tell you that you were admitted to college.
You celebrate, but don’t be angry!”
"Uncle Aniu, I'm not angry. As long as I can get my brother back, I don't have to eat meat for the rest of my life!"
"Bah, bah, bah, you brat, you're talking nonsense again!"
"Where did that fairy-like girl just go? In my half-life, this is the first time I have seen such a dewy-looking girl."
…
On the flat land in the mountain col, all the men, women and children in the village who could help came.
In the past, it was not so lively even during village meetings or during the autumn harvest.
Only when the villagers are marrying a daughter-in-law, or when a centenarian is having a birthday or a funeral is held, the village can be so lively and festive.
"Oh, damn Axi, the one Axiu is holding is Axi, right? Oh my God, this is the fairy boy next to the gods in the sky, right? He looks so good!"
"I heard he's a movie star. I'll have to take a closer look next time I watch TV."
"He's much more handsome than those guys on TV! How could he have been chosen by Uncle Mu Hei back then..."
The last half of the sentence was not spoken. The person who spoke looked around and saw that neither Sada nor his wife heard her words, so she patted her chest and swallowed it.
When He Sichen came under the big tree, he saw smiling faces everywhere.
The old people laughed and said, "Axi is a good and blessed boy, and he will have many blessings in the future."
The adults patted his shoulders affectionately and said, "Axi is very interested in getting you back! Your parents have been thinking about you for so many years, and everything will be good in the future!"
The children gathered around him with bright eyes. This one called him "Brother Axi", and the other one called him "Axiu" with slurred speech.
It was obviously the first time I saw these faces.
But He Sichen felt that familiar feeling again when he was lying on the earthen bed last night.
It was as if he had seen these people in his previous life.
"Axi..."
A loud voice sounded from behind. He Sichen turned around. Before he could see the face clearly, he was hugged by the person who came and patted his shoulder hard, "Axi, I am Amu, welcome home!"
Brother Amu.
The young, knowledgeable and dedicated leader of his tribe.
A dark, muscular man with tanned skin.
There is a composure between his eyebrows and eyes that belies his age. When he talks, he smiles, but when he doesn't smile, he looks like a powerful and domineering leader, who is not angry but is proud of himself.
"Brother Amu..."
He Sichen called people with a smile.
Amu smiled and said: "Axi, I know you and have watched the movies you acted in. You are our pride! Let's have a few drinks later!"
In just a few words, he was calling the clan leader here and Brother Amu there.
Amu shook his head and laughed, patted Heschen on the shoulder and let him walk around, then turned and ran in the direction of calling him.
The men slaughtered pigs and sheep and moved tables.
Women set up a stove to cook steamed buns and chop vegetables.
Under the big tree, the old people leaned on crutches and chatted about their daily life, while telling the chasing and playing children to stay away from the cooking stoves.
There is peace in the huge mountain col.
"Agui..."
When he saw Agui passing by with a stack of bowls in his arms, He Sichen called him and asked, "Where is your sister Xiaowan?"
"I was here just now..."
Agui looked around, his eyes lit up, and he raised his chin into the distance, "Over there, with Aunt Buku."
Buku.
Return.
With his heart skipping a beat, He Sichen raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
