" It's coming, it's coming. Quick, aim!" Kai Zi's soft voice interrupted Ya Shuo's thoughts. He got up and turned his head. It was a deer. This was the first time he had seen a sika deer with his own eyes. Even the Shanghai zoo did not have such a thing. The excitement made Ya Shuo forget the question he was thinking about just now. He stared at the deer without blinking. This deer looked like a male deer. It was exceptionally handsome. The white spots on its body were like white plum blossoms. It had a strong body and looked like a young deer. It was full of energy. The two horns on its head seemed to be proclaiming its pride. It also seemed to be out foraging for food, but it did not lose its grace. It walked steadily and stopped to eat grass with its head lowered.
" Shoot!" Kaizi couldn't wait any longer. He urged Uncle Dong when he saw that the sika deer was eating grass and not moving. However, he was also afraid of disturbing the sika deer, so he lowered his voice to the lowest possible level. Uncle Dong didn't answer him. He just shook his head gently. Kai Zi didn't understand whether this shake of his head was hinting at him not to speak or not to shoot. He didn't dare to continue asking for fear of disturbing the deer. The deer did not notice that there was someone nearby. It ate the grass boldly and waited for more than 10 minutes. The three of them did not dare to breathe loudly and stared at the deer. The deer was probably done eating. It lay down lazily and basked in the sun. Seeing that the deer had relaxed, Uncle Dong pulled the trigger with lightning speed. With a gunshot, the deer trembled and stopped moving before it could stand up and escape. Uncle Dong put the gun on his shoulder and the three of them ran over.
Uncle Dong's shot hit the artery on the deer's neck, so the deer died without struggling. A pool of blood flowed on the ground, dyeing the surrounding grass red. Ya Shuo and Kai Zi were overjoyed. They clapped their hands and jumped around on the grass. Uncle Dong seemed calm. Perhaps he had been hunting for a long time and was already used to this kind of thing. The sika deer was too big to fit in the cloth bag, so Uncle Dong asked Kaizi to carry it. The three of them hummed a tune and went down the mountain. On the way down the mountain, Ya Shuo observed the surrounding mountains and suddenly remembered his question. He asked Uncle Dong the name of the mountain. Uncle Dong said that this mountain was called Fox Mountain because there were too many foxes on the mountain. Many people said that it was divine. Kaizi asked why he hadn't met a fox after staying for so long. Uncle Dong said that the fox was in the deeper mountains. The place where they hunted wasn't considered deep in the mountains. Ya Shuo said that they should go to the mountains to take a look some other day. Uncle Dong smiled and said that people who knew about Fox Mountain didn't go to the mountains, unless they were foreigners who lost their way. Ya Shuo asked why he didn't go in, and Uncle Dong said that he had nothing better to do than to provoke those foxes. Ya Shuo wanted to ask more, but he thought that what Uncle Dong said made sense, so he didn't continue asking. Ya Shuo told Uncle Dong about his intuition. He felt that this mountain was very familiar. He had seen it somewhere before, but it was his first time coming to the northeast. It must be his first time coming to Fox Mountain. Uncle Dong joked that you are different from others. First of all, your genes are different. That's why you can open your Heavenly Eye when you look at anything. You can see the soul when you look at people. You can see the soul of mountains when you look at mountains. Kaizi knew that this was a joke and laughed out loud. Yashuo also thought that Uncle Dong was humorous, but he did not let go of his suspicion.
In the evening, Kaizi picked up firewood from the corner of the courtyard and lit a bonfire in the middle of the courtyard. Uncle Dong skillfully set up a wooden rack and used a wooden stick as thick as an arm to skewer the deer from its mouth to its butt. He placed it on the wooden rack and roasted it. Beside it was a small wooden rack. He used a wooden stick as thick as a finger to skewer a wild rabbit and roast it. The oil was roasted by the fire and dripped into the bonfire, making a sizzling sound. The fragrance gradually spread and the three of them drooled. Roasting the game required some time, so the three of them started to talk about family matters.
Kai Zi asked Uncle Dong why he lived alone and where his wife and children were. Uncle Dong smiled shyly and said," I'm still a bachelor. I don't have a wife or children." They were surprised and asked Uncle Dong's age. Uncle Dong said that he was thirty-three years old. The two of them were shocked. Yashuo almost said that when he first met you, he thought you were in your forties or fifties. It was not easy for him to hold it in. Uncle Dong saw their surprise and said," Do you think I'm very old?" Kai Zi and Yashuo were seen through. He lowered his head in embarrassment. One of them flipped the wild rabbit while the other held a wooden stick to stir the fire. Uncle Dong smiled and said," People in the mountains are all like this. They usually go up the mountain to hunt and farm. They are exposed to the wind and sun all day. They are not as well-off as people in the city. In addition, they are poor. It is normal that no one is willing to marry." Yashuo said that we shouldn't call you Uncle Dong. We can also call you Brother Dong. Uncle Dong hurriedly said that he liked to be called Uncle Dong the most. He was used to being called Uncle Dong and was not used to it. As they spoke, the rabbit was almost roasted. The three of them split the rabbit into pieces, sprinkled chili, pepper, and salt, and ate it like wolves and tigers.
At night, Uncle Dong slept in the west wing. In the east wing, Kai Zi also snored after eating. Only Ya Shuo couldn't sleep. He lay on the brick bed, his eyes wide open, blinking as he thought about what had happened during the day. He deliberately combined some seemingly unrelated details together. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. Curiosity stimulated Yashuo's adventurous nerves. After thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary to explore boldly. If it was really as he guessed, then he could find the truth and satisfy the wish of the woman he admired. At the thought of this, he looked at the rich man who was sleeping soundly beside him. He tiptoed and fumbled around for a table. He lit the kerosene lamp, found a pen, and started writing a letter.
The first letter was written to Qingfeng. It briefly explained everything about his trip to Northeast China. It also mentioned that Zhang Lin had asked Uncle Dong to suggest that he join the party. He was willing but did not say it directly. He would go to do something tomorrow morning. Don't reply to him before receiving his second letter.
The letter to Azurepeak was that simple. Because Ya Shuo saw that it was already late at night, he had to leave more time to write to Meng Lin. This was the first time he wrote a letter to Meng Lin. He didn't know how to start writing. Should he write what he was thinking, or should he be more tactful? Should he write it in a soul-stirring manner, or should he write it in a calm manner? For a moment, it made Ya Shuo think about a myriad of things. Several times, he had to put down the pen he picked up, then pick it up again, and then put it down again. This repeated several times, and an hour passed.
"I'll write however I want. Writers say that writing should be done according to my heart, so I'll write according to my heart.”At the thought of this, Ya Shuo finally put down his pen. The letter was written like this:
