My name is Taimo. My father usually calls me this, but my mother sometimes calls me Little Rainbow. She said I was a beautiful scenery in the sky.
Abba, mountains are just mountains in my eyes. An eagle can’t reach the mountains even if it spreads its wings and soars. He loves me very much. But he would often lift me high and then **** me with his beard on his face. It was painful and itchy, and I didn't like it very much. And sometimes I worry about my grandma, because more than once I secretly saw my dad pricking my grandma with his beard. But it’s strange. Not only is grandma not annoying, she actually looks very happy...
Well, adults are just weird, forget it, as long as my father doesn’t **** me, let him **** my grandma and leave them alone.
I have two brothers, one named Lightning and the other named Pili. Brother Lightning is a good-looking boy in our village who is good at hunting. Although we no longer need to rely on hunting to make a living, even I know that a good hunter is still very respected in the village. My Lightning brother is a good hunter who is respected by everyone. He is very tall. When he stands in front of me, I have to look up at him. He is also very strong. When someone is building a house in the village, if two people are required to lift a piece of wood, he can hold a piece of wood with one hand. Sisters in the village, whenever Brother Lightning looks at them, their faces will turn red, their eyes will shine, and some will run away shyly...
Well, these sisters are weird too. When Brother Lightning looks at me, I won't blush or run away. I will ask Brother Lightning to pick me up and lift me high. He is much better than Abba, no beard.
My other little brother is called Pili. This guy, I really don't like him! He is only twelve years old, just a little kid, but he pretends to be an adult and lectures me all day long, and he always pulls my pigtails. What makes me look down on him is that he likes to show off in front of me, as if he knows a lot. If you see a butterfly flying by, you say that the butterfly has transformed from an insect. If a gust of wind blows, you say that it is caused by air movement. He knew that his grandma had not taught him all this! But there is one thing about him that I admire very much. He is very dexterous and often makes some very interesting things for me to play with. For example, I found this wooden bird that can move its wings by pressing its tail. Of course, I will not let him know that I admire him. He is already proud enough. If I let him know again, it will not fly into the sky!
I also have a special group of family members. They are the Xiaohei family.
Xiao Hei is very big, with long black hair all over his body and a row of thorns on the back of his neck. When he stands up, he looks like a wall, and when he runs, he looks like lightning. He is very majestic. Both parents love it very much. Sometimes I even think they regard it as their own child. I like to lie on his generous body and let him play with me. It never throws me off. But Xiao Hong is different. Xiaohong probably thinks she is very beautiful, so she is very proud. Every time I want to climb on its back, she seems very unhappy and must throw me to the ground to be happy. Black and Ladd are their children. Mom said they were only a year older than me, but they looked almost as old as their dad. Blake looks a lot like his dad, except he doesn't have the horns on the back of his neck. Ladd's body was golden red, sparkling in the sun, and grandma once said it looked like silk. I immediately asked her what satin was. She was stunned for a moment, then laughed and told me that it was a kind of cloth woven from silkworms. It felt very soft to the touch. She also said that when she catches such a bug in the future, she will make me a beautiful satin skirt first.
My grandma is a smart person and knows many strange things. Like this silkworm. Well, I wish she'd caught it sooner so I could wear the satin dress sooner.
Besides our family, there are many people living in the village. Next to our house is Aunt Naduo’s family. My aunt is very good to me, and sister Youyou. She just gave birth to a baby not long ago. This is her second baby. Every time a baby is born, the whole village celebrates like a holiday, and this time is no exception. When I ran to take a look, the baby was lying softly next to Sister Youyou, like a... little monkey. It was really ugly. But sister Yuyou looks very happy, and the young brother-in-law is also giggling non-stop, so I naturally won't say that the baby is ugly, I just think about it in my own mind.
After talking about my family, it’s time to talk about our village. The name of the village is Taimo. I used to always wonder, why does it have the same name as mine? Later my grandma told me a story, and I finally understood.
My grandma said that when I was still in her belly, a very terrible thing happened in their hometown that year, and they had no choice but to leave their hometown and look for a suitable place to stay. I just kept following my grandma on the road. They walked and walked, walking towards the sun for several months, and then one day, grandma suddenly felt that her stomach was making noise and was about to come out, so they had to stop temporarily.
My mother gave birth to me, and my father was very, very happy. Because he had already chosen a name for me many years ago, but I haven't come yet. Now that I was finally among them, he immediately called me Taimo. Because my mother was a little weak, my father and the others stopped there temporarily, hoping to wait for my mother to recover before continuing. My father felt sorry for his mother's hard work and wanted to make soup for her with fat and tender meat, so he went out hunting. When he was tracking a deer, he went up the stream and when he turned around the foot of the mountain, he saw a beautiful lake.
It was autumn at that time, and the colorful woods on the lakeside were reflected on the green lake. Under the sunlight, they shone like inlaid gems. My father was attracted by such beautiful scenery and immediately went back to tell his mother and others. Everyone followed him and fell in love with this place immediately and were reluctant to leave. So they finally decided to stop and live here.
Abba, Mom and others all felt that my arrival made them discover this beautiful place, and they unanimously decided to name this place after me, so I became a great person in our village. I'm so proud. I guess this is probably why my little brother Pili always bullies me. He's such a cheapskate.
My brother Lightning has been in some trouble these days. The cause of the trouble is the girls in the village. Because of my brother, my parents and I almost had a fight.
Hmm, that's the thing.
There is a girl named Xia in our village. She is so beautiful, sometimes even I am fascinated by her smile. But fans are fans, I don't like her. Because I found that Brother Lightning seemed to like her very much. Xia waved to him, and he immediately blushed and followed her like a fool. He didn't even hear me calling him from behind.
That’s why I don’t like Xia. I just stare at her and my brother when I have nothing to do, worrying that one day my brother will become her brother. Then I would lose a good brother and only have the little brother who always bullies me. I don’t want that.
One day Xia waved to my brother again, so I followed him secretly. When I hid behind a big tree, I was surprised to find that my lightning brother actually pricked Xia's face with his beard! Like my father and my mother!
That's not true. My Lightning brother doesn't have a beard like my father, but they look very similar.
I'm very angry. My lightning brother can only treat me like this. How can he treat another girl like that? So I ran back immediately and secretly told my parents what I saw.
Abba didn't think anything of it. He just laughed and said that Lightning had grown up. But my mother was a little unhappy, and she quarreled with my father, saying that Brother Lightning was only sixteen years old, how could he fall in love so early!
In love? This is the first time I heard this word. I don't know what it means. After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that the act of tying a beard is love!
Well, I don't like falling in love.
Abba laughed again and said that Brother Lightning was not young anymore, he was only half a head shorter than him. But my mother immediately interrupted my father and said that even if Brother Lightning stood taller than my father, she would not allow him to fall in love so early! Then grandma looked at dad angrily and said, have you ever fallen in love so early before? So you don’t care about your son now?
Abba was immediately speechless and his face turned red.
Oh, poor dad. I don’t know what they were like before, but now, I only see mom bullying dad.
Abba winked at me, and I knew he was telling me to get out. Although I really didn’t want to go out, I was my father’s obedient daughter, so I went out obediently. But after a while, I came back quietly, leaned through the crack in the door and looked in.
Abba is holding Ama in love!
Not interesting.
I watched for a while and then left, looking for my brother Lightning again.
When Brother Lightning came back, he had a smile on his face that looked as bright as the sun. When he saw me, he immediately picked me up, threw me high and caught me. I felt excited and scared, and giggled. But I don’t know why, I still feel a little guilty, hey, who told me to go to my parents and sue Brother Lightning just now!
Brother Lightning was indeed scolded severely by his mother, who also punished him to go out and chop down trees every day, and he must chop down fifty trees before he could go home.
I regretted it very much all of a sudden. Although I didn’t want Brother Lightning to be snatched away by Xia, I also didn’t want him to work as hard as he did now. Every time he came home, he was covered in sweat and looked very tired. So one day I finally couldn't help but admit to him that I was a snitch.
After I finished speaking, I was a little worried. I was afraid that Brother Lightning would not pay attention to me when he got angry. But he just laughed, stretched out his hand and twisted my nose, and then continued to chop down the tree.
He is such a good brother.
When Brother Lightning chopped down the trees in the open space behind my house so much that there was no room for them, my grandma finally told him not to chop them down.
She said she would use these trees to build a house for Brother Lightning, and let him and Xia live here together when he turns eighteen.
The moment Brother Lightning heard this, he was so happy that he picked me up and threw me into the sky.
Oh, I'm so sad, my brother Lightning was finally snatched away by Xia!
After this lesson, I secretly made up my mind that I must grow up and be even more beautiful than Xia. By then, I will take back my lightning brother!
Two years later, my lightning brother finally moved into that house with Xia. The day they moved in, the whole village came to congratulate them, and it was very lively. But after everyone dispersed, I saw my mother's eyes suddenly turned red, and her father hugged her and coaxed her in a low voice.
Just this year, my parents suddenly told me something. They wanted to go back to their original hometown to visit.
I was stunned for a long time, and then I remembered what my mother had said to me before. But hasn't their hometown been destroyed by a terrible disaster? What else is there to see now?
My grandma said that she and her dad wanted to go back and have a look for a long time, but the disaster has continued. After so many years, it should have completely calmed down now, so they have to go back and have a look.
Abba, mom, my two brothers, uncle Zuo, me, and, by the way, Xiao Hei, we set off together.
Actually, they were not willing to take me there, but I kept begging my dad, and he was very soft-hearted, so I finally convinced him, so I successfully became a follower. Of course, most of the time, it was my dad who Dad held or carried me.
I am very curious about what my parents’ hometown is like, and what do they mean by the disaster?
It must be close to their hometown, because I noticed that the expressions on everyone's faces are getting more and more solemn, even sad.
I am becoming more and more curious, but I dare not ask.
It’s here anyway, I’ll know when it comes.
We set out in early summer, and it wasn’t until autumn, when the weather turned cooler, that I finally set foot on my parents’ hometown.
When I was held by my father and stood on a high hill looking down, my mouth opened wide in surprise.
What kind of land is this under my feet? It is full of charred rocks and uneven layers of black soil, extending bare. Occasionally, one or two clumps of weeds will emerge from the gravel piles and soil. This desolate scene extends to the foot of a high mountain far, far away.
The top of the mountain seemed to have been dug away, leaving a curved line.
I felt my father’s hands tightening around me, and I even felt a little pain.
But I remained silent.
I know how Abba feels. He must be very sad. Because I saw faint tears in his eyes.
In my eyes, my father is always so strong and heroic, but he can actually cry!
I was surprised again. I hugged his neck tightly.
Amma and Uncle Zuo also looked very sad, as did Brother Lightning.
It was only Brother Pili and me, both of us were a little surprised and confused.
Such a desolate land with almost no life is actually the hometown that parents and the others have always missed?
Later, I finally figured it out. It turned out to be a vast jungle. My father has lived here since he was a child. But later, everything here was destroyed due to the eruption of a volcano called Greenstone Mountain. The hot magma engulfed the land near it. At that time, I saw that the burnt stones were erupted from the volcano and fell to the ground. The black soil was volcanic ash that slowly settled and was wetted by rain. The eruption caused the volcanic ash to settle again. , stacked on top of the previous trace. For several years, until Greenstone Mountain completely vented its anger, the land finally fell silent.
“There once was a glorious civilization here. But now, everything, civilization and the souls that created these civilizations have been buried underneath. This burial may be eternal, or maybe, many, many years later, it will be buried by chance. It was discovered by later generations and brought to light again. At that time, it was another Pompeii, or another Sanxingdui..."
This is what my grandma said when we left there.
I didn’t understand it very well at the time, but I remembered it firmly and will never forget it.
