Deep in the mountains to the south, there is a small place called Yunyin Village.
This village is not big, but it is like spring all year round, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it feels like a paradise, not stained with earthly mud at all.
In the east of the village, there is a buddy named Li Erniu, his yard is quite spacious, and although a few grass houses are simple, they are very clean and neat.
The most eye-catching thing is the big black dog raised in the yard, called Kuroko, I heard that this dog is very godly, can understand people's words, and the people in the village say that this is a strange thing.
Li Erniu, this buddy, just like his name, has a strong body, tanned skin, and shiny eyes, as if he can see through people's minds.
He has an honest personality, likes to help people, and is known in the village for his kindness.
As for Heizi, he is his most iron-clad buddy, not only can he take care of the family's nursing home, but he also seems to be able to predict something, and he has saved Li Erniu several times when he is in danger.
Every night, Kuroko squatted at the gate of the courtyard, his eyes were bright, as if he could see through the night and guard this home.
One evening, when the sun set, the sky was as red as blood, Li Erniu had just come back from the field, and he was as tired as if he was something, but he had a smile on his face, thinking about the hot food at home and the way the sunspot shook his head and tail, and his heart was warm.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was about to call Kuroko over, when he heard a sharp knock on the door, especially loud in this quiet night.
"Who?
It's a big night.
Li Erniu asked as he walked to the gate, a little puzzled.
This Yunyin Village is a remote place, and there are usually no outsiders coming, let alone big nights.
"Big brother, open the door!
I was passing by and accidentally got lost, so please be kind and let me hide from the wind.
A woman's voice sounded soft outside the door, with a little urgency and helplessness.
When Li Erniu heard this, his heart softened, and he hurriedly opened the door.
Outside the door stood a woman in plain clothes, very handsome, with tears in her eyes, and it seemed that she had suffered a lot of crimes.
When she saw the door open, she hurriedly bent down and saluted, thanking her repeatedly.
"Girl, come in, it's windy outside.
Li Erniu said as he got out of the way and let the woman into the house.
But just as the woman was about to cross the threshold, Kuroko, who was lying on her stomach, suddenly stood up, staring at the woman with her eyes straight away, and let out a low whimper in her throat, as if to remind something.
Li Erniu was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when he heard Heizi suddenly speak: "Erniu, she. . .
.
.
She's going to hurt you!
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Li Erniu and the woman outside the door were stunned.
The woman's face turned pale all of a sudden, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down again, and said with a reluctant smile: "Big brother, your dog is really good at joking, how can I harm you?"
Li Erniu was also confused, he knew that the sunspot was not ordinary, but he didn't expect it to speak directly, let alone say such a thing.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw that Kuroko's eyes were like nails, and there was no joke at all, and he muttered a little in his heart.
"Kuroko, you...... Are you serious?
Li Erniu asked tentatively.
Kuroko nodded, and then roared a few more times, as if to emphasize his own words.
Li Erniu saw this posture, although he was a little drumming in his heart, but after so many years of trust, he still decided to believe in the sunspot.
He turned to the girl and said, "Sorry, girl, I may not be able to keep you tonight, so you might as well find another place."
When the girl heard this, her face became even worse, but she didn't leave immediately, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Big brother, I know this sounds outrageous, but I really don't have a bad heart."
I was chased and ran here, so I wanted to hide here for the night, and I left early tomorrow morning.
If you don't believe me, I can tell you all the ins and outs.
When the girl spoke, with a bit of sincerity and helplessness, her eyes were clear, not like a liar.
Li Erniu hesitated, he is not the kind of person who is as hard as iron, seeing the girl so pitiful, his heart can't help but soften.
But Kuroko's words made him dare not believe it, and he was in a dilemma.
At this moment, Kuroko suddenly stepped forward and gently pushed Li Erniu's leg with his head, as if to comfort him.
Then, it turned to look at the girl, and a mixture of emotions flashed in its eyes, as if it was making a decision.
In the end, Kuroko slowly spoke: "Okay, you can talk about it, if there is half a lie, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people."
When the girl heard this, she gave Kuroko a grateful look, and then began to tell how she was in trouble and how she had escaped here.
It turned out that she was originally a princess of a neighboring country, but because she was not satisfied with the marriage arranged for her by her father, she secretly ran out, but she was chased and killed halfway, and after some twists and turns, she arrived in Yunyin Village.
Li Erniu listened to the girl's words, and he had a rough idea in his heart.
He looked at Kuroko and saw that Kuroko nodded slightly, as if to confirm the girl's words.
So, he sighed, and said, "Girl, you can live here in peace, and when it is dawn tomorrow, I will send you out of the village and find a safe place."
When the girl heard this, her eyes turned red, and she thanked her repeatedly, and her voice was full of gratitude.
She followed Li Erniu into the house, and Kuroko was guarding the door, and those eyes were still looking around vigilantly, as if they were ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The night is slowly getting deeper.
In the house, Li Erniu prepared some simple meals for the girl, and the two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
The girl's name is Yunshang, she speaks and does things with an extraordinary temperament, she tells interesting things in the palace, as well as her own yearning for freedom, which makes Li Erniu fascinated.
Li Erniu also told Yunshang about the customs of Yunyin Village, as well as the magical past of Heizi, and the two chatted very happily, like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years.
But just as the two were chatting, a slight noise suddenly came from outside the house, breaking the silence of the night.
Oops, this thing is really exciting, as soon as the Kuroko guy heard the movement, he immediately rushed to the courtyard gate with a low roar.
Li Erniu and Yunshang were not ambiguous, and went out after that.
As soon as the door opened, good guy, a few dark shadows quietly touched this side, looking at the posture, it was obvious that they were here to trouble Yunshang.
"Oh, they're catching up!
Yunsheng's little face turned white, and she hurriedly grabbed Li Erniu's sleeve, her eyes full of panic.
Li Erniu, this buddy, when he saw this situation, he stopped in front of Yunshang without saying a word, and roared loudly: "Who are you?"
Dare to break into our house at night!
Those black shadows didn't say a word, sneered, took out the guy and rushed over.
Although Li Erniu is a farmer, he usually has practiced a few tricks, and it is more than enough to deal with these little thieves.
While stalking to the enemy, he retreated to the courtyard with Yunsheng in tow.
At this moment, Kuroko suddenly rushed into the battlefield, and his skills, as fast as lightning, shuttled back and forth in the crowd.
As soon as it passed, the enemy either had his throat cut or was knocked away.
Kuroko's courage caught those people off guard, and they were in chaos.
Li Erniu saw the opportunity and cooperated seamlessly with the sunspot, and after a while, he knocked the enemies down one by one.
When the last enemy fell, a long wolf howl came from the night sky of Yunyin Village, and it was Kuroko declaring victory.
As soon as the battle ended, Yunshang hugged Li Erniu tightly, tears in her eyes.
"Brother Erniu, and Kuroko, you saved me, I really don't know how to thank you.
Li Erniu smiled innocently and patted Yunsheng's shoulder, "Don't say that, the people of our Yunyin Village are all a family, and it is appropriate to help each other."
Besides, Kuroko is also my buddy, how can it watch its own family being bullied?
”
Early the next morning, as soon as the sun shone on Yunyin Village, Li Erniu and Yunshang stood at the entrance of the village.
Kuroko silently followed aside, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Yunshang, you go east, over that mountain, and then through that forest, and you will reach the border of the neighboring country.
Once there, you'll be safe.
Li Erniu pointed to the distance and said seriously.
Yun Sheng nodded, tears rolling in her eyes again, "Brother Erniu, I will never forget your kindness."
If I have the chance, I will definitely come back to repay you and Kuroko.
”
The story slowly ends in the early morning and evening of Yunyin Village, leaving people with infinite thoughts and feelings.
The courage, trust and sacrifice are like the mountains and rivers in the village, which are forever engraved in people's hearts.
Time is like a stream, flowing silently, and in the blink of an eye, it is a few years.
Yunyin Village is still so quiet and harmonious, but the days of Li Erniu and Heizi have quietly changed.
The wrinkles on Li Erniu's face deepened, but his eyes were still so bright and firm.
Kuroko's fur is not so oily and slippery, but it is still so spiritual, guarding this home and guarding this land.
People in the village said that Li Erniu and Heizi, the relationship between them is iron, not only a master and servant, but also a brother.
In the dead of night, Li Erniu likes to sit on the threshold, smoking a dry cigarette, and the sunspot leans against him, and they look at the stars quietly, as if they can talk.
But in this peaceful day, there will always be a day when something has to be disturbed.
This year, the southern border was not peaceful, and the war was about to burn to Yunyin Village.
The people in the village were panicking, and they all planned to leave the place where their ancestors lived.
Li Erniu looked at this scene with mixed feelings in his heart.
He knew that if he left, he might never come back, but he couldn't bear to watch the villagers displaced.
"Kuroko, we've got to do something.
Li Erniu touched the head of the sunspot, and his eyes flashed with determination.
Heizi seemed to understand, looked up at Li Erniu, and his eyes also revealed a sense of determination.
In this way, Li Erniu and Heizi began to get busy.
They organized the lads of the village, strengthened the walls of the village, prepared food and weapons, and prepared them for the challenge that was coming.
At this juncture, Li Erniu showed his extraordinary leadership and wisdom, and Kuroko also used his amazing speed and strength to become the most trusted guardian saint of the villagers.
Finally, that day came.
The enemy army poured in like a tidal wave, and the black clouds overwhelmed the city.
Li Erniu stood on the city wall, looking at the dark enemy below, and his heart was not stunned at all.
He knew that this was the last battle he and Kuroko had to fight to defend their homeland.
"Kuroko, let's go!
Li Erniu roared, took the lead and rushed down the city wall, holding a spear in his hand, and rushed into the enemy formation.
Kuroko followed closely behind, like a black lightning bolt, shuttling through the enemy pile, tearing and biting.
The battle was really choking, and both sides were not lightly injured.
Our Li Erniu and Heizi, with that stubbornness and ability, pushed the enemy back again and again.
Their heroic deeds spread like something on the battlefield, making every soldier's blood boil and he didn't care about his life.
But at the most critical juncture of the war, something went wrong.
The leader of an enemy army saw through Li Erniu's tricks and secretly transferred a team of elite soldiers, intending to sneak into the village from the flank.
If this allows the enemy to succeed, it will be a real misery.
At this juncture, Heizi seemed to feel something, suddenly broke free from Li Erniu's shackles, and rushed to the flank like crazy.
When Li Erniu saw this posture, his heart was in his throat, and he hurriedly called Heizi back, but Heizi rushed forward as if he hadn't heard it.
After a while, the sound of fighting could be heard from the flanks.
When Li Erniu arrived with his men and horses, he saw Heizi covered in blood and lying on a messy ground, surrounded by enemy corpses and scattered weapons.
It turned out that Kuroko single-handedly blocked the enemy's sneak attack and bought precious time for the village.
"Kuroko!
Li Erniu knelt next to the sunspot, tears in his eyes.
He touched Kuroko's already cold body, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he blamed himself so much.
"Why are you so stupid...... Didn't we say that we would go back to our hot kang together......" Li Erniu said in a choked voice.
At this moment, Kuroko suddenly opened his eyes slightly, and there was a tenderness in his eyes.
With the last bit of strength, it licked the back of Li Erniu's hand, and then slowly closed its eyes.
"Heizi ......" Li Erniu was so sad that he hugged Heizi tightly, as if he wanted to keep him in his arms forever.
The battle was won in the end, but Li Erniu lost his most iron buddy.
He dug a pit for Kuroko with his own hands and buried it on the hill behind the village.
Every time the sun set, he would go to Kuroko's grave and sit quietly for a while, thinking about the days they had walked together.
Time flies, decades pass in the blink of an eye.
Li Erniu has also become a white-haired old man, but his eyes are still so bright and firm.
He still lives in that dilapidated thatched hut, guarding the land and those good memories.
As for the sunspot, although it is no longer there, its soul has remained in Yunyin Village forever.
In the dead of night, the villagers can always hear the howl of wolves coming from the mountains behind, which is the story of sunspots telling them stories of loyalty and protection.
In this way, the story of Li Erniu and Heizi has been passed down from generation to generation in Yunyin Village and has become a beautiful legend.
People use this story to teach children to be brave, loyal, and to protect their homeland.
And Li Erniu also used his actions to tell everyone: In this world, there is a power called faith; There is an emotion called loyalty; There is a kind of guardian, which is called sunspots.
