He looked out of the car window again, said something, then turned his gaze back, and glanced inside the bus.
"……Ding."
At this moment, the system that had been quiet for a long time had some movement again.
"Random task: Birth, old age, sickness and death.
The host has a feeling in his heart, please comprehend 'living here' and 'die here'.
Task rewards, a designated textbook for the mid-level professional title assessment. "
Looking past the system interface, Lian Ge turned his gaze away.
"...The system task has been accepted."
……
It seems that the county is still far away, or that there are few villages passed by when coming, and there are only a few passengers sitting sparsely on the bus.
Leaning against the front of the carriage, in the second row behind the driver's seat, next to each other, sat an old man in a padded jacket and a young man in some thin clothes.
The old man was holding a tobacco rod, holding the rubbed leaf tobacco, with some rough hands, he kept rubbing the pinch of leaf tobacco, stuffing the rubbed tobacco into the rod from time to time, and removing the tobacco again from time to time,
The young man next to him remained silent all the time, with his head lowered, and his body shivered slightly under the cold wind coming through the car window.
"...I feel wronged by staying outside, we won't go out this time when I come back...I'll talk to your mother..."
"dad……"
Putting the pinch of tobacco back into his pocket, the old man turned his head and said something to the young man next to him. The young man raised his head, his eyes were red,
"... Put on your clothes, don't catch a cold..."
The old man took off his padded jacket and put it on his child.
……
"...Don't stick your head out, be careful..."
A woman is holding a basket by the seat with one hand. There are some straws in the basket and a cloth covering it. From time to time, some ducks can be heard,
The other hand is holding her side, wearing a padded jacket, standing in front of the seat, some happy children,
"...Mom, grandpa said, the New Year is coming soon, isn't it true?"
"...Yes, Chinese New Year is coming soon..."
"...Then can we set off firecrackers during Chinese New Year? Fireworks..."
"...Yes...wait a while, when you are on the street, Mom will go buy you a new set of clothes for you to wear during the New Year..."
"...Then Mom, what about you..."
"...Mom bought it last year, so I don't need to buy a new one..."
"...Did you buy it last year? But I bought it last year too..."
"...You are just like Mom..."
……
"...You said that it's the Chinese New Year, it's the Chinese New Year..."
Leaning against the front carriage, on the other side of the aisle, a middle-aged couple sat close to each other. The man hugged his wife tightly, his eyes were red, his voice was trembling, and he said from time to time,
"...Yeah, it's almost Chinese New Year..."
The woman's lips were pale, and she smiled embarrassedly,
"...How about we get out of the car and go back instead of going to the hospital..."
"...What are you talking about..."
"...The child will be back in two days, wait until the Chinese New Year, go to the hospital for an examination after the Chinese New Year..."
"...What are you talking about, the doctor asked you to go for a good checkup...it's all right, after the checkup, it's all right, our family will have a good New Year..."
"...I'm afraid of what will be found out...the child will be back soon...let's go after the new year..."
The woman's face was a little embarrassed, and she smiled embarrassedly,
……
Glancing at the carriage, Lian Ge turned his gaze again, looking at the scene along the way passing by outside the car window, listening to the voices ringing in his ears with the breeze.
The bus wobbled and gradually drove towards the front side, stopping from time to time,
More and more people got into the car, and a few people got off from time to time, and more and more voices were mixed in the car.
"...My nephew is getting married, yes, there are more than [-] tables set up in the county, and I was supposed to come to pick it up, but what did I say to pick it up, I just went over by myself..."
"...Old man... you'd better call the baby, if he doesn't come back... let's go and see him..."
"...Hey, there is no way, the son in the house is strictly controlled. I took care of him when he was young, and he took care of me when he was old... If you want me to say, I am already so old, I should eat, drink, and drink. What are you avoiding..."
Some are happy, some are sad, some get on and some get off.
Lian Ge watched and listened.
……
"...I've arrived, I've arrived...I want to take the bus on the opposite side of the city, I'm going to..."
"... Let's talk another day, I have to go to my son's place... Hey, I just arrived, so you called me..."
"... Hurry up... It is said that the old man has just been sent to the emergency room again..."
After another burst of noise, on the bus that arrived at the station, all the passengers got off the bus and dispersed to various places.
Listen, look, got out of the car with everyone, along the road, Lian Ge walked casually, beside him, there were voices of voices ringing from time to time along the road,
"... run slowly, don't fall..."
A child was wearing thick clothes, swaying, and ran past the road with a smile. The child's mother followed behind, greeted with a smile from time to time, and looked after him carefully.
"...Mom is still waiting in the house, waiting for us to go back to eat..."
A couple walked by, the man tightened the clothes of the woman, and hurriedly walked towards the front with his wife.
Walking all the way, listening, I don't know how long,
Lian Ge stopped again.
In front of you, it seems to be an open scenic spot, with people bustling with each other, couples clinging to each other, parents with children, and old people supporting each other pass by from time to time, going everywhere,
Turning his gaze, he found a bench by the side of the road, and Lian Ge sat down casually, listening and watching as before.
At this time, an old man passing by stopped, looked left and right, and walked towards Lian Ge's side.
Chapter 601 Live Here, Die Here
Holding a bottle of mineral water with the label torn off in his hand, there was still half a bottle of water left in the bottle. He was wearing a padded jacket, hunched up, panting heavily, and there was still some sweat on his forehead. The old man walked to the side of the road. Ge sat at the other end of the bench.
After standing still, the old man straightened his back, and then sat down on the other side of the bench.
First he unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip, then put the mineral water bottle aside, stretched out his hand and unbuttoned the top of the jacket, opened the jacket a little, and the old man wiped his sweat again.
Putting down his hands, the old man raised his head again and looked at the bustling passers-by on the side of the road, his eyes a little dazed.
After another pause and silence for a while, the old man turned his head again and looked at Lian Ge at the other end of the bench.
"...Young man, are you alone?"
Looking around, the old man smiled and said a word.
"almost."
Looking at the bustling pedestrians passing by on the street not far away, and listening to the voices mixed in his ears, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the old man, responded with a voice, and then turned back,
"The old man won't continue walking any longer?"
Looking at the pedestrians passing by the side of the road from time to time, Lian Ge said calmly.
"...I can't move anymore, I've reached the end..."
The old man turned his head, looked at the pedestrians on the road, and looked into the distance, his eyes were a little dazed. He didn't know whether he was responding to Lian Ge's words, or he was saying to himself, whispering something,
Immediately afterwards, the old man shook his head again, then turned to Lian Ge's side,
Looked at Lian Ge, then looked at the distance that Lian Ge was looking at,
"...The family members are far away?"
Turning back again, the old man smiled and asked again.
"It is."
Lian Ge's tone was calm, and he responded again.
Hearing the sound, the old man laughed, then turned around, looked into the distance, his eyes gradually became a little dazed,
"...Okay... When you are away from home, you still have to have a place to miss. There is a place to go back to... Otherwise, if you come out, you don't know where you are going..."
The old man murmured, followed closely, paused again, stretched out his hands to support his legs, got up from the bench, stood up,
"The old man no longer walks forward, the scenery ahead is not bad."
With a calm tone, Lian Ge said something without turning his head.
"...I'm old, I can't walk anymore. Let other people see the scenery in front of me. It's time for me to go back and go home."
The old man crouched down, picked up the empty bottle on the bench, turned around, and walked back.
Turned his gaze, looked at the old man, watched the old man walk away, Lian Ge turned his gaze back again, and looked at the bustling pedestrians passing by, quietly listening to the voices mixed in his ears .
……
"...Come on, put on your clothes, don't catch a cold in a while."
"...Your son, I got angry when I said it, and if I told him to find someone, he wouldn't find him..."
"...Mom, Dad, hurry up...My daughter has grown up, and even Mom and Dad can't walk...Then Mom and Dad, I will drag you along..."
Some people passed by again, taking away some mixed voices.
A vendor struggled to push his tricycle that was unfolding his stall. He walked over and stopped by the side of the road. Lian Ge's bench was not far away.
……
After stopping the tricycle, the vendor first wiped the sweat from his forehead, then stretched out his hand and unbuttoned a button on his cotton coat, hesitated for a while, and tied the button back again.
Withdrawing his hand, he removed two seven-hole bricks from the tricycle and placed them under the wheels of the tricycle to make the tricycle more stable. After taking a deep breath, the vendor spread out the stalls on the tricycle.
After being busy for a while, the vendor took a few more breaths before reaching out to arrange some things on the stall, lighting the gas tank, and preheating the iron pot on the stall.
And at this time, on the other side of the road, another stall pushed his own stall and walked over. After quickly rearranging his booth, he looked around again.
"...Hey, Old Chen, didn't you say that you won't come to set up a stall in the afternoon, and you have an upset stomach, so you have to go to the hospital?"
The stall owner greeted the stall owner over here.
"...What kind of hospital are you going to? I just have a stomach problem."
The vendor stood up, paused for a moment, then raised his head, smiled at the other stall owner and said,
"...The stomach disease is also uncomfortable, why don't you take a rest?"
"...Take a break, take a rest, your old Xiang is squeamish..."
After taking a breath, the vendor smiled and cursed at the stall owner, followed by another pause, and said in a much softer voice,
"...The Chinese New Year is coming soon, that brat is studying outside and will be back in two days... Let's take advantage of this time to earn more money..."
After saying that, the vendor took another breath, turned his head again, and greeted the passers-by on the side of the road.
"...Pancake Fruit, Pancake Fruit...delicious...fragrant and crispy...Pancake Fruit..."
……
Listening to the voice from the side, Lian Ge turned his gaze and glanced at the stall owner,
The stall owner's face was a little tired, his face was a little pale, he was smiling, greeting the customers, busy with his hands.
Looking at that side, he paused his gaze, Lian Ge turned his gaze again, looked at the bustling pedestrians passing by in front of him, and listened to the mixed voices.
