Chapter 993

"sough……"

In the wide river channel, the river surface undulates back and forth, flowing slowly downstream with sparkling waves,

The breeze blowing across the river, soaked in some water vapor, slightly shaking the willow branches hanging on the river bank and street,

The thin leaves trembled slightly, and the branches disturbed the wind.

Stopping on the river bank where some people have dispersed, the pedestrians are less and less.

Or some middle-aged young people passing by in a hurry, or some old people who came out for a walk by the river to buy vegetables, walked along the river bank, and rested in the shade of the tree from time to time, and the acquaintances said a few words. sentence.

Looking at the somewhat quiet river bank,

Lian Ge listened to the sounds mixed in the breeze, and also listened to the words asked by the middle-aged man next to him,

"A dodger and a patriot."

Turning around again, Lian Ge reflected the breeze blowing on the river, looked at the sparkling river, paused, and responded to the middle-aged man's words.

Next to him, the middle-aged man looking at the lake first paused,

Then slowly raised his head, as if looking at the people on the other side of the river, his eyes were a little lost,

"...Qu Yuan is indeed an escaper."

The middle-aged man raised his head and seemed to be looking at the distance on the other side of the river. He paused for a while, then lowered his gaze, looked at the river, and responded aloud,

"...It's just that the country is gone, so what kind of patriots are you?"

The middle-aged man turned his body a little bit, turned his eyes a little bit, he didn't know whether to look at the river bank or Lian Ge, and then spoke out loud.

"The country is gone? Then why is the gentleman still there?"

Lian Ge looked at the river, didn't turn his eyes away, but replied in a calm tone.

Looking at the people on the river bank, the middle-aged man in the distance heard the sound, paused, and then some smiles appeared on his face, and he laughed, a little happy,

"The country is gone, but the inheritance is still there."

The middle-aged man turned his head again, looked at Lian Ge, the smile on his face was restrained, but he still had a smile on his face, and said aloud.

After saying something, the middle-aged man turned around again, and looked at the river as before.

Turning his gaze, he glanced at the middle-aged man who was staring at the river in a daze, Lian Ge didn't say anything more,

Turning his gaze a little further, he stood on the bank of the river, looking at the surface of the river.

Behind Lian Ge and the middle-aged man,

On the street, pedestrians still pass by from time to time, and from time to time some people hold on to the stone fence on the bank and stop to look out.

The shops facing the street are still open, doing business, and there are mobile stalls. After walking away, a few left behind, and greeted the customers who stopped in front of the stalls from time to time.

The hanging branches of willow trees along the street are still slightly blocking with the breeze,

The breeze blows,

With the steam on the river and the gurgling sound of the river,

The breeze blows on the shore, dispelling some of the heat on the shore,

The rustling of the branches and leaves of some trees on the bank, and the voices of pedestrians and vendors, were mixed with the gurgling of the river.

……

"... Mrs. Xu, let's not talk about it, I'm going to buy vegetables first... It's getting late, and the vegetable market is empty..."

Standing on the bank of the river, Lian Ge listened to the sounds in his ears, looked at the slightly swaying and flowing river,

Next to him, the middle-aged man looked at the river, seemingly lost in thought and silent.

On the side of the street, there are willow trees with hanging branches, and the shadows of willow branches on the ground are gradually elongated,

The shops facing the street are gradually slanting to reflect some shade on the street.

The sun above the head deviates from the sky and has changed its position, and it has already slanted to the west.

Standing on the shore not far away under the shade of a tree to rest, talking about the two old ladies in the neighborhood,

Looking at the sky, he hurriedly walked away again.

On the street by the bank, there are gradually more people passing by, walking in the shops facing the street, under the shade of the trees and leaves on the street, passing by in a hurry or slowly.

And at this time,

Under the stone fence on the shore, after the dragon boat race, there was no one there, only a dragon boat tethered to the shore was floating quietly on the near-water platform, and there were gradually more figures.

An old man with a slightly hunched figure, walking on a pair of cloth shoes, wearing shorts and shorts, and carrying a bag of things, walked down the steps on the bank to the platform near the water.

Lian Ge turned his gaze a little, and looked at the old man walking on the platform near the water,

Next to him, the middle-aged man who was looking at the river in a daze, seemed to have heard something, turned his head, and looked at the old man.

The old man walked to the platform near the water step by step with a bag in one hand and some steps in the other.

Standing on the platform near the water with the things in hand, the old man looked around, then moved his feet carefully,

Walked to the shore where the dragon boat did not block the water.

The water surface was very close to the near-water platform, and the water surface swayed slightly, as if it was about to climb up the near-water platform, splashing some water vapor.

The old man stopped by the water with his bag of things in hand.

Putting down the things in the bag, the old man squatted down and looked at the water again.

Turning around, he opened the plastic bag a little more, took some things out,

First he took out a pair of candles, and then took out a few sticks of incense with the other hand,

After looking at it, he temporarily put the incense back.

Squatting down, holding the pair of candles in one hand, fumbling in his pocket with the other, he took out a lighter.

The lighter was pressed, and some flames sprang out,

Putting the lighter close to the pair of candles, the old man lit the candles.

The flames were separated by the wick, and then slightly disturbed by the breeze.

Waiting for a few drops of wax to drip from the candle,

The wax oil dripping on the ground quickly cooled and solidified, and more flames burst out of the flames.

The wax was lit and the lighter was extinguished.

After a pause, the old man put the hot lighter back into his pocket.

Holding the pair of burning candles, the old man found the gap between the stones on the platform and inserted the pair of candles.

Then he took out the incense that was put back earlier and lit it.

Holding the incense with rising smoke, the old man got up and made a bow, then knelt down and inserted the incense in front of the candle.

Turning around again, fumbled in the bag, and took out some more things,

Wrapped in green leaves, wrapped with some thread for fixing, these are rice dumplings,

Holding some in both hands, the old man stood up again, turned around,

With a flick of his hand, he threw the zongzi held in one hand into the river.

The rippling river splashed some water, started some ripples, and then quickly calmed down again.

"...Uncle Yang, you're here too..."

Just when the old man bent his waist and raised his hand, he was about to throw the zongzi he was holding in the other hand into the river,

Follow the steps on the shore, and then go to the platform near the water, walk down to the individual,

Stepping down the steps, the pace is a little faster, he is a middle-aged man,

With a bag in his hand, he walked down the steps, saw the old man standing on the platform near the water, and greeted him,

"Why are you here, where is your father?"

The old man hunched over, turned around, looked at the middle-aged man who looked at him, smiled a little on his face, and responded with a smile.

"My dad is preparing dinner in the house, and today I'm in a good mood, so I have to cook by myself."

The middle-aged man responded with a smile, and also walked to the water's edge, and put down the bag he was carrying.

The old man listened, nodded, turned around again, raised his hand, and threw the zongzi he was holding in the other hand into the river.

There were some splashes on the river, and it was calm again.

"I'm done, let's go first."

The old man looked at the river, withdrew his hand, picked up the empty bag on the ground, held it in his hand,

Turning around, he said something to the middle-aged man next to him,

"... Cheng, Uncle Yang... Uncle Yang, come to our house for dinner later..."

The middle-aged man squatted down, took out a pair of candles from the bag he had put down, fumbled for the lighter to light it, listened to the old man's words, and turned around to answer.

"...No, no, I've cooked everything in my house..."

The old man responded with a smile, waved his hands, moved his feet, and walked up the steps towards the shore.

"...That's fine, Uncle Yang, take your time."

The middle-aged man turned around again, and then lit the pair of candles he was holding.

, It's the end of the month, and it's the beginning of the month soon, please ask for a monthly pass, everyone, please give me a monthly pass.

Chapter 994

"Whoa..."

"...I'm back, I'll be back soon..."

Some people who went down to the platform near the water came and went.

Another person who threw a few zongzi into the river picked up the empty bag on the ground.

Then it seemed that the phone call from the house re-entered the shore from the side steps, and gradually drifted away into the distance.

No one came over on the near-water platform, and it became even quieter.

……

The west-slanting sun has turned into a setting sun, and the afterglow is blocked by the nearby shops facing the street.

There is only some sunset glow still shining on the west, and the sky has already darkened a little.

It was evening.

The shops facing the street turned on their lights, and the street lamps next to the street also lit up.

In the houses of people on both sides of the strait, the lights were also turned on one after another.

Standing on the bank of the river, Lian Ge glanced at the river, then turned his gaze to the platform near the water,

Next to him, the middle-aged man in a white robe with long hair looked at the river surface where some rice dumplings had been thrown and splashed water earlier,

At this moment, the river surface has calmed down, but the middle-aged man is still watching in a daze.

He didn't say anything more, facing the breeze blowing on the river from time to time, Lian Ge looked at the four sides and the river again.

To the west, the slanting sun sinks into the horizon,

The sky above was gradually replaced by night.

The lights reflected in the shops facing the street became brighter.

The lights on the street took over the sunlight in the daytime, still reflecting the shadows of the willow branches hanging on the street and the branches and leaves of the trees.

In the river channel, there are still slight waves, the flowing river water, the lights on both sides of the river are reflected on the river surface.
