Holding the two braiders, he started to walk forward nimbly,
It just seemed to be getting a little tired and slowed down.
Putting the two woven bags he was carrying on the ground, he stopped by the side of the road,
Panting heavily, he rested his feet, raised his hand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Does the old man need help?"
The old man who stopped by the side of the road approached in front of him,
Lian Ge moved his feet and gradually walked to the old man's side, then stopped, turned his gaze, and said something to the old man,
"...No need, no need."
Putting down the hand that wiped the sweat from his forehead, he still raised his head, looking at the loess all over the place, the old man who was in a daze heard Lian Ge's words,
Turning his head, looking at Lian Ge, he quickly smiled and waved his hands,
"...I have rested my feet, and I have regained some strength. I can carry it by myself, so I don't bother you to help me, young man."
Laughing and talking, the old man wiped the sweat from his forehead again, reached out and lifted the two woven bags on both sides of his feet, and moved his feet away,
Lian Ge glanced at the old man, didn't say anything more, just moved his foot away and walked beside the old man,
Raising his hand, Lian Ge waved lightly towards the old man beside him, then withdrew his hand,
Immediately afterwards, the old man carrying the woven bag seemed to walk a little lighter, and the sweat on his forehead gradually decreased.
"Young man, are you going to Zeshan Village too?"
As if he was a little more relaxed, the old man turned his head while walking forward, looked at Lian Ge, and said aloud,
"Those who pass by, come out and take a look. The old man said that this road leads to Zeshan Village, so that's where we should go."
"Is the old man from that village?"
Lian Ge looked at the approaching loess hills in the distance, and responded aloud.
"... Hey, it's been decades, born in this village, raised in this village, and grown up in this village for so many years... How did you come to us, young man? , whatever you want..."
The old man walked beside Lian Ge, with a smile on his face full of wrinkles and ravines, he smiled and responded, then he raised his head and looked into the distance,
I don't know if I'm looking at the loess all over the ground, or looking at the bare hills in the distance, the smile on my face gradually fades away, my eyes are cloudy, and I feel a little absent-minded.
"There are scenery everywhere, and there are stories about barren mountains and wild mountains."
Lian Ge looked into the distance and responded calmly.
"...Yes, also..."
The old man turned his head again, looked at the distance in front of him, first answered, then smiled and answered,
Walk beside Lian Ge again, and walk forward.
"...Grandpa Liang!"
"...Old Liang, are you back?"
"...Eh, yes, yes, back..."
At this moment, walking towards this side, the old lady with her grandson approached,
The child saw the old man first, and shouted crisply,
Immediately afterwards, the old lady also greeted her.
The old man smiled, nodded, answered, then turned his head to look at the child,
"Xiaofeng went to the street with grandma?"
Laughing, the old man was talking to the child,
"...Hmm! Go to the street with grandma, follow grandma to sell two chickens!"
The child raised his head, no matter how crisply he responded,
The old lady looked at her grandson with a smile on her face, then raised her head, and said to the old man again,
"...Don't you need some incense, paper money, etc. at night? There is nothing in the house, so I thought about going to the street to buy some, and by the way, I caught two chickens and sold them..."
"...Hey, well, then I won't delay you, it's going to be late on the street later."
"...Old Liang, you go too slowly."
"Goodbye, Grandpa Liang."
Smiling, he responded aloud again, and greeted him.
The old man walked forward again carrying the woven bag, and the old lady carried her grandson on her back and continued to go outside.
Chapter 894 Saplings
"... In the village, no one from outside has been here for a long time... Hey, everyone in the village can't wait to run outside, the farther the better..."
Looking at the old lady with the child walking by, Lian Ge paused his gaze, then looked away, still walking beside the old man,
The old man beside him was carrying two woven bags, walked forward briskly, turned around, and chatted with Lian Ge with a smile,
"...Young man, it's fate that you came to the village. You can sit in the house later."
Full of furrows and wrinkles, the dark face was smiling, the old man was carrying something, walking, greeting Lian Ge and saying,
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the old man, smiled, and didn't say much.
The old man smiled and didn't speak any more. He turned his head and walked along the dirt road, looking at the approaching loess hills in the distance.
Perhaps it was because the old man walked more lightly,
The loess all over the side continued to pass by, and the loess hills in the distance gradually approached, and then caught up with some pedestrians who were also walking forward on the road in the distance,
"...Old Liang, are you back?"
"...You guys are here on the street, have you bought a lot of things?"
On the way, the old couple who were walking forward heard the movement behind them, slowed down a bit, turned around, looked at the old man who was approaching, and said hello,
The old man also smiled and responded,
"...Hey, isn't this just going to the street to buy some things to use at night, and I bought some vegetables by the way."
The old man among the old couple responded with a smile, lifted the bag in his hand,
"...Old Liang, your legs and feet are really nimble here, and you can walk so fast while carrying such a big bag of things."
"……Hey."
The old man listened to the words with a smile on his face, but did not respond.
"Who is this?"
"...a young man passing by."
The old man smiled and replied again, paused, and said again,
"...Then I'll go first, I'll go back first."
"...Okay, Lao Liang, you can go as you please. You are carrying such a big bag of things. You don't need to wait for us. We just walk back slowly."
The old couple responded with a smile and then stood still on the spot.
The old man nodded, then carried two woven bags and walked briskly forward.
Lian Ge walked beside the old man, turned his eyes, and then glanced at the old couple with bags in their hands.
The old man in the old couple holds a bag in both hands, with some vegetables on the other side,
On the other side, there are some things in a red plastic bag,
Through the red plastic bag, one can see that there are also some joss stick paper money in the bag.
Pausing his gaze, Lian Ge turned his gaze again, and moved his feet forward again.
……
"...Old Liang, go back?"
"...Old Liang, come over to eat at noon later..."
"...Thank you, thank you, I don't need it, I have some things to do when I go back later..."
Together with the old man, Lian Ge walked forward along the somewhat potholed dirt road under his feet.
The loess hills a little far away are approaching, and the dirt road under the feet extends to the front of the loess hills.
Along the way, passers-by greeted the old man one after another, and the old man responded with a smile,
However, on the road, most of them are elderly people and young children,
Some pedestrians walking back with some things, most of them also have some things like joss sticks and paper money in their hands.
"...Go around this hill, and pass a few more hills, and you will reach our village... Behind the hill with some trees and grass, is our village."
The old man walked to a hill with Lian Ge, and the straight road under his feet gradually became winding, bypassing the foot of the loess hill,
Turning his head again, the old man said with a smile along with Lian Ge, after looking at the hills, there are some green hills on the top of the mountains in the distance,
"...Young man, this road is a bit difficult, isn't it?"
"Fortunately."
Lian Ge responded, walked around the foot of the mountain with the old man, and walked along the winding dirt road.
"The bag that the old man is carrying is also filled with waxed paper money?"
Lian Ge walked beside the old man, then turned his gaze, saw the old man was carrying a bulging woven bag, looked away,
Looking into the distance, he said something calmly.
"... Hey, the bags they are carrying are full of incense sticks and paper money, not mine."
The old man responded with a smile, lowered his head, and looked at the two woven bags in both hands, with some pride in his eyes.
Raising his head again, the old man paused, and then said aloud,
"...Isn't it raining this day since the beginning of the new year? Some seedlings planted in the village, yellow leaves with yellow leaves, drought dead... some old ladies in the village The old man just wanted to invite a Taoist priest to come back and do ritual rituals, begging for rain, worshiping the mountain god, and asking for good weather... the ritual rituals are to be done tonight."
The old man said, smiled, then turned around and looked at Lian Ge,
"Speaking of which, young man, you came at the right time. It will be very lively tonight. There are people in the village, patrolling the mountains, and burning paper. If you haven't left, young man, you can still watch it. It's really lively It's on."
As the old man spoke, he smiled again on his wrinkled face.
"Pray for rain?"
Lian Ge listened, smiled too, and said something aloud,
"Has it worked?"
"……Hey."
The old man listened, didn't answer, just smiled, and said aloud,
"It's also a thought."
The old man said with a smile, then lowered his head, looked at the two woven bags in his hand,
"...As for me carrying this thing, wait a while when I get to the place, open the bag and show it to you, young man, it's hard to clean up now."
Lian Ge listened, but didn't say anything more.
Moving his feet, he walked forward with the old man, looking at the scene along the way,
Along the road, the old man and Lian Ge gradually bypassed several loess hills,
The hill with some vegetation gradually came into view,
The village behind the hill, the entrance of the village can already be seen.
……
"...It's almost there. Pass here and you'll be the village."
The old man led the way, carrying a bag, and led Lian Ge from the foot of the hill with some green vegetation, along a winding road with some potholes,
