"...Be careful, don't stumble here, you won't even be able to get up."
Another yard,
In the yard, there is a motorcycle. It seems that it has not been ridden for a few days, and there is some thin dust on the seat cushion.
An old lady helped an old man with poor legs and walked out of the somewhat dark main room. She also carried a stool in her hand and placed it by the door for the old man to sit down.
"You sit here, and I'll serve you food."
As the old lady said, she walked into the dark main room, and the old man was left alone sitting on the edge of the yard.
"...Old Yang, it's getting dark today, why did you go back from the field?"
"... Hey, I'm the only one in the room. If you don't work for a while, how can you get over here?"
A middle-aged man carried a bucket and walked into a yard. Next to the yard, a neighbor from another family greeted him,
The middle-aged man responded with a smile, and placed the bucket on the side of the yard, bypassing the side of the yard, an overturned baby chair,
He picked up a stool placed in the yard, left a few stools unattended in the yard, walked into the house,
"...Hey, yes, Lao Yang, you have so much space in your house, how can it be so easy for one person to come here?"
The neighbor next to him also responded with a smile, stepped on a piece of clothing on the ground, turned and walked into his own house.
Watching and listening, Lian Ge walked a little further.
……
"...Wow, whoa, whoa..."
At this moment, a baby's cry came from a house on the side of the road.
Lian Ge stopped and turned his gaze away.
In this family's house, the main room door is half open,
In the room, the incandescent lamp on the roof was not turned on, but a candle was lit on the table in the main room,
The candle flame danced slightly, illuminating the room, and through the half-open main room door, some light was reflected outside.
Under the lights, in the yard,
On the clothesline I was pulling, some women's clothes were still confiscated.
Gusts of wind blew past, shaking the hanging clothes, shaking the shadows cast on the ground under the moonlight.
Through the half-open hall,
At the table in the main room, an old man was sitting, and a middle-aged man was standing,
The middle-aged man held a baby less than one year old in his hands, and the baby was crying heartbreakingly,
The middle-aged man was trying his best to coax him, but no matter how he coaxed him, the baby was still crying.
Sitting, the old man who was eating saw the child crying so much, he also stopped eating, put down his chopsticks, stood up,
"... oh oh... oh oh oh... baby don't cry, baby don't cry..."
"...Dad, why don't you come and coax the children, I really don't know how to coax children..."
Somewhat anxious, the middle-aged man raised his head and said to his father,
"... Let me give you a hug... Be good, grandson, don't cry, don't cry..."
The old man took the baby over, held him in his arms, and coaxed him again,
Just a baby, still crying.
Looking at the old man, the middle-aged man, and the baby in the main room,
Lian Ge paused his gaze, moved his feet away, and walked towards the courtyard of this family.
Go into this courtyard, come to this door,
Lian Ge reached out and knocked on the door of this house.
"...A guest is coming, let me coax the child, you go and have a look."
Hearing the sound, the old man and the middle-aged man turned their heads one after another, looked at Lian Ge at the door,
The middle-aged man turned around and walked towards the door.
Chapter 909 What About Your Wife?
"...Young man, you are..."
He walked quickly to the door and stepped out of the door. The middle-aged man looked at Lian Ge again and asked aloud.
"Those who pass by, come here, it's getting dark. I don't know if I can stay here for a night."
Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man, and then through the half-open main room door, looked into the main room with candles on.
The middle-aged man heard the sound, looked at Lian Ge again, raised his head again, looked at the night and the dark sky,
Looking at Lian Ge again, he hesitated for a while, then nodded,
"Row."
"...Huiyi, what's the matter?"
In the main room, the old man holding the child coaxed the child, raised his head, looked towards this side, and shouted.
"...a lad passing by wants to spend the night with us."
"...Let someone come in. It's getting dark now, and there's no other place to live nearby except our village."
The old man moved two steps towards the outside of the house, then stopped, looked at the already dark sky outside the house, and said something again.
"……Eh!"
"...Young man, come in and sit down. There is a vacant room in the house. It has not been lived in for some time, and it is a little dusty. I will clean it up later. If you don't mind, young man, you can live here for a while. late."
The middle-aged man responded to his father, then turned around, returned to the main room, moved aside a little, and greeted Lian Ge.
"It's enough to have a shelter from the wind and rain, thank you brother."
Lian Ge thanked him and walked into the main room.
"you are welcome."
The middle-aged man shook his head, led Lian Ge into the main room, walked past the table,
The old man who was coaxing the baby also walked towards Lian Ge's side,
"Sit casually, young man, don't be too polite."
The old man greeted him, held the child in one hand, and stretched out his other hand to move a stool, and put it beside Lian Ge.
Looking back at the bowls and chopsticks and food that had just been placed on the dining table,
"...Young man, you probably haven't had dinner yet. It just so happens that dinner has just been prepared in the room. Let's sit down and eat something together."
The old man turned around, smiled and greeted again.
"Then thank you, old man."
Lian Ge smiled and thanked him again.
"You're welcome, it's just some food that you can eat in the house, and some extra tableware."
The old man smiled and replied again, then turned his head, lowered his head, and looked at the several-month-old baby he was holding.
The baby was still crying, and the crying was a bit heartbreaking, and the voice gradually became hoarse.
Looking at it, the old man's brows were a little worried and anxious,
"...Hui Yi, hold the child again and coax the child, this child doesn't know what's wrong, he keeps crying, crying non-stop, his voice has become hoarse after crying like this."
"...Hold the baby and coax it well, I'll get a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
"it is good."
The middle-aged man looked at the heart-piercing and crying child, with some anxiety on his brows, he responded, stretched out his arms and hugged the child,
"Be good, baby, be good...don't cry, don't cry..."
Holding the child carefully, the middle-aged man coaxed softly,
The child was still tearing his throat, crying non-stop.
The old man stood up again, looking at the baby in the arms of the middle-aged man,
Then he turned around again and walked towards the kitchen in the back room.
……
"...Oh oh oh, baby is good, baby is good..."
The middle-aged man is holding the baby in his arms, standing and coaxing him,
Hearing the heart-piercing cry of the child, the middle-aged man became more and more anxious,
"Sit down, young man. I'm sorry to disturb you."
Looking up again, the middle-aged man apologized to Lian Ge.
Lian Ge shook his head, sat down at the table,
Glancing at the burning candles on the table, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the child in the arms of the middle-aged man.
"What happened to the child?"
Looking at it, Lian Ge asked aloud.
"I don't know either. The child has been crying easily for the past two days. When he cries, he can't be coaxed to stop. It's not like this on weekdays. I don't know how to coax the child. On weekdays... It's all..."
The middle-aged man was talking, repeated it twice, but didn't say it, gradually stopped talking, frowned, and paused again, as if he had forgotten the second half of what he said earlier.
"...I don't know what's wrong, I keep crying."
"... oh oh oh... the baby is good, the baby is good..."
The middle-aged man hugged the child and gently coaxed it.
Looking at the middle-aged man and the baby in his arms again, Lian Ge paused his gaze,
He raised his hand, waved lightly at the baby, and then withdrew his hand,
Immediately afterwards, the baby in the middle-aged man's arms seemed to be tired from crying, and gradually stopped crying, but there were still some useless crying on his face,
Seeing that the child stopped crying, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, hugged the child again, and gently wiped the tears on the baby's face with one hand,
"...be good baby, be good baby..."
Patting the child on the back lightly, the middle-aged man coaxed the child.
Looking at the middle-aged man and the baby again, Lian Ge turned his gaze again,
Looking at the candles burning on the table in front of me,
Under the gusts of wind blowing into the room from time to time, the candlelight danced gently, reflecting some lights and shadows of people in the room,
The shadow also swayed with the candlelight.
"Is there a power outage in my brother's house?"
Looking at the candlelight, Lian Ge asked again.
"Yeah, the power is cut off in the village. Our village in the deep mountains, in the depressions, is prone to power outages after a long time."
The middle-aged man hugged the child in his arms, raised his head again, and responded with a smile,
"...I just don't know what's wrong this time. There was a power outage before, and it only stopped for a few hours. After a long time, the call will come the next day... It's been several days this time, but I should call soon."
"Brother didn't ask?"
Lian Ge turned his gaze again, looked at the middle-aged man, and said something again.
"... Hey, I've been busy with the field affairs these two days, so I don't have time to ask. Besides, I didn't ask, and someone else must have asked. Wait a minute, I should call."
The middle-aged man smiled and responded again.
Looking at the middle-aged man again, Lian Ge paused his gaze,
