I really don't want to be a teacher

They didn't speak any more.

Picking up the noodles in the bowl and eating,

Lian Ge finished the tasteless plain noodles in the bowl, put down the bowl,

The old man who was still eating followed closely, put down the noodle bowl he was holding, and said to Lian Ge again.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge shook his head,

"It's getting dark, and I have to move on, so I won't sit down."

Lian Ge turned his gaze a little, saw that the setting sun had sunk into the horizon, only the afterglow was left in the west, and the sky was getting darker, so he spoke to the old man again.

"Thank you for this bowl of noodles, old man."

Lian Ge thanked again, and put the empty noodle bowl, together with the pair of chopsticks, on the firewood stove next to it.

Hearing Lian Ge's words, the old man paused, then nodded again,

"It's getting dark, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, so go slowly, young man."

The old man spoke to Lian Ge again.

Lian Ge nodded and said nothing more.

Turned around, moved his feet,

Follow the path under your feet, then go forward,

Walked through the end of the village, walked through the village.

behind,

The old man watched Lian Ge go away, stood up, held the noodle bowl, held the chopsticks, turned around,

Going to clean up the noodle bowl that Lian Ge ate,

Just following closely, the old man couldn't help but pause again,

The noodle bowl placed on the stove seems to have been washed, or it has never been used, and it is still clean.

After a pause, the old man turned his head and looked in the direction where Lian Ge was walking away.

Standing up again, I just picked up the bowl and chopsticks and piled them on top of other bowls,

Put the bowl and chopsticks in my hand on the stove.

The old man walked towards the courtyard and under the eaves, holding the tool for making paper money, and then making paper money.

"Boom..."

behind,

The movement of the old man playing paper money gradually faded away,

Lian Ge continued to walk along the mountain road, gradually drifting away.

Over or around several hills,

Go back to the road.

Follow the road,

In the distant night, there appeared a place dotted with lights from every house,

It's a town.

Moving his feet, Lian Ge walked forward, approaching the small town.

Chapter 1029 White Circle

"...Grandma, why are there so many white circles on the side of the road..."

"...Bah, bah, bah... Tongyan Wuji, don't blame it, don't blame it... Others have business, let's leave it alone, baby, don't look at it. Come home with grandma."

The night has shrouded, and the obliquely hanging moon is blocked by wisps of clouds and mists from time to time, looming from time to time, looking a little hazy,

It's a little quiet in this small town.

On the street, the few people passing by hurriedly walked everywhere,

Next to the roadsides of some old residential areas, there are some white circles drawn with lime.

In each of the white circles, some paper money joss sticks were burning.

In the white circle, or the paper money has been burned out, only the burning flames on the joss stick and under the light of the fire, after the paper money is burned out, there are still some sparkling ashes left.

Or someone added yellow paper money to the white circle, lit a joss stick, and the burning fire reflected on the face of the person behind the white circle,

The people squatting behind the white circle were holding joss sticks and chanting some words.

At night, with a chilly, shady wind blowing across the street from time to time,

Shaking the flame on the joss stick standing behind the white circle, trembling and still burning, burnt paper money.

The sparks remaining on the ashes of the burnt paper money flickered on and off, and some burnt ashes floated from the fire moving upwards in the white circle.

There were also ashes of burnt paper money that were blown away by the slightly gloomy wind, and the sparks that were still on them were wiped out in mid-air.

The wind blowing across the street from time to time brings some chanting voices on the side of the road.

Having already entered the town, Lian Ge walked through the town along the road in front of him,

Looking at the scene along the way, listening to some voices in the ear.

On the shoulders, the little white mouse stood with its forelimbs, turned its head, and looked around.

On the way, an old lady and her granddaughter hurried past Lian Ge.

The girl was a little curious, and the old lady stopped her from talking about the white circles drawn and worshipers along the road.

"... Let's go, let's go home... Go home, we will be home soon..."

The girl looked at the old lady muttering some words, and she seemed a little frightened when she heard the old lady's words.

He nodded heavily, then turned his head carefully, looked at the worshipers next to the road, then turned his head quickly, not daring to look again.

The old lady hurriedly took her granddaughter's hand again, and walked faster,

"... we are going to turn a corner soon... we will be home after turning this corner... we will be home soon, we will be home..."

The old lady murmured something, and walked away quickly with her granddaughter, and the voice of her words gradually faded away.

……

The street lamps, and the burning paper money incense candles in the white circles on the side of the road, barely illuminate the street under the night,

On the street, not many shops are still open.

There were no cars passing by, and no pedestrians in sight.

Moving his feet, facing the gusts of wind that blow from time to time, Lian Ge walked along the street,

Looking at some scenes along the way, people, listening to some sounds with the wind ringing in my ears.

"... Xiao Xu, come here. You also come here to burn some paper for your Grandpa Zeng..."

On the side of the road, someone squatted on the side of the road and worshiped. There was a bamboo sieve beside him, and there were some joss sticks and paper money in the bamboo sieve.

Tearing up the paper money, throwing it into the pile of burning paper money in the marked white circle, and then turning around to greet the child who was squatting aside,

"...Your Grandpa Zeng is Grandpa's father, you know...Come on, burn some paper money for your Grandpa Zeng...Let your Grandpa Zeng bless our Xiaoxu."

"...Yo, this is still a big ticket, burn it for your grandpa Zeng... and burn some for your grandpa... Let them wear new clothes... It's been a year... burn some new clothes for you too ..."

"...Come on, Xiaoxu, burn some paper money for your great-grandpa, grandpa, and some old ancestors, tell them, let them take all the money, and buy whatever they like..."

"...Grandpa Zeng, grandpa...this is for you, you can use it to buy delicious food..."

"...Chengguo, come over and burn some paper for your grandpa..."

"……Row."

"...Grandpa, you said Grandpa Zeng, can Grandpa and the others really receive it?"

"...I'm sure I can, my dear grandson burnt paper money for them, how could they not receive it... Hey, look at how well it burns, look at how happy your great-grandpa was when he saw Xiao Xu burn paper money for them... ...Xiao Xu, come here, and make a few bows to your grandfather Zeng and the others..."

"……it is good……"

Passing by the family worshiping on the side of the road, the voice of that family gradually faded away,

Lian Ge listened, walked along the road,

"...Dad, I bought some new clothes for you and Mom, you can wear them... I don't know how you are doing... You and Mom used to live very frugally, now you don't have to save so much, Take all the money, and buy whatever you want...Dad, I secretly honored you with this wine, don't tell mom..."

"...Hungry Ghost Festival, I'm here to burn some paper for you... Now life is better, and you are living better down here. If there is anything that is missing, just let me dream, don't say that my old comrade-in-arms is stingy... Hey, I feel like I've only been here for a few years, and I'll come down to brag to you when the time comes..."

"... Mom, can Dad hear us talking to him?"

"...You are down there, so relax, you are all doing well..."

……

Listen and watch.

Lian Ge moved his feet and gradually walked across the street.

The number of people worshiping, burning paper money and lighting joss sticks along the street is gradually decreasing, and the residential quarters along the street are also less.

After passing through a somewhat deserted and quiet intersection, Lian Ge walked into a somewhat deserted old alley.

In the alley, the trees planted on both sides have been old for some years, and the branches and leaves on the top are intertwined, covering some of the sky above.

On the side of the alley, there are a few street lamps, some of which seem to be broken, and some are hidden in the dense branches and leaves of the trees, barely passing through the gaps in the branches and leaves, swaying down some dim lights.

In the alleys and streets, it was a little dark.

Most of the shops facing the street have been closed, only a few houses facing the street still have some lights shining out.

With the help of the lights, you can also see that there are a few white circles marked on the side of the alley.

Looking at this deserted old alley,

Lian Ge moved his feet and continued along the alley.

There are some lights reflected in the scattered shops, and the lights hidden among the dense branches and leaves are still on,

A few sections of the road are barely illuminated, and there are more sections of dark roads in between.

After walking through the section of the road with some lights, the shadows of a person and a mouse on the ground gradually shortened, and then gradually lengthened,

And into the dark night,

Walk out of the night from time to time, meet some lights, and then reflect some night, and walk forward.

……

"...buzz...buzz..."

At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated,

Lian Ge slowed down and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Looking at it, it was Uncle Lian calling.

Standing on the side of the street where some lights were shining, Lian Ge connected the phone,

"...Did you get through?"

"...I got through, got through... Hey, Xiaoge, your great-uncle asked me to call you, I have something to say."

Immediately afterwards, some voices came from the other end of the video call,

"Master, the phone is connected..."

"... How old are you, and you are still so frizzy, you put the phone on the table for me, and I told Xiaoge myself, don't need you to shake back and forth in front of me..."

"...well, well..."

On the other end of the video call, Second Uncle Lian answered. He seemed to have put his mobile phone on the stone table in the yard, leaned against it with something,

Adjust again, get out of the way,

The great uncle was holding a cane, moved forward and appeared in the video screen,
