“...... It must have been a few hours of snow last night, how long has it been since it snowed here......"

“...... As soon as the snow stopped, it was really cold and cold...... Close the window of that car......"

“...... Quack, quack......"

“...... Lao Feng, I've bought new clothes, and I'm still carrying one in my hand, so I can buy it for my daughter-in-law......"

“...... Isn't it cold weather, and my children have sent a set of clothes back from out of town, and they have come back to me and their mothers, and I have gone to the town to get them back...... I saw that it was cold, so I simply put it on...... Where are you going? ”

“...... Hey, go to a relative, aren't the children in the third sister's house getting married, I went yesterday, I have to stay there overnight, and I will take the car back this morning......"

An old urban and rural bus staggered, driving along the winding road, into the rolling mountains, high-rise buildings towering, and the lively city gradually faded away behind the bus.

On the car, mixed with the smell of chickens, ducks and goose feathers, a few back baskets containing some ducklings, poultry, vegetables, vegetable seedlings, baskets, fertilizer bags, or being held in people's arms, or resting on the aisle,

A few passengers who knew each other were talking, and the passengers with small children closed the windows next to them, tightened the children's clothes, pulled the zippers up a little, and carried plastic bags.

Lian Ge sat in the back row by the window, looking at the scene of the bus that had entered the rolling mountains from time to time, and listening to the mixed sounds in the car beside him.

Outside the car window, there are rolling mountains, from the mountain road coiled on the mountainside, or layers of terraces, or a few houses scattered on the roadside, or covered with dense vegetation, a few birds are startled from time to time in the mountain forest,

In the car, in the back row, a little girl's face seemed to be a little red because of the cold, and she was staring at the mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder.

The little mouse first turned his head towards the window, looked around, noticed the gaze, and couldn't help but shrink to the side again.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the mouse on his shoulder, couldn't help but smile slightly, and then retracted his gaze, looked at the various passengers in the car, and listened to the mixed words in his ears.

Last night, after leaving the shaving stall, he found a hotel to rest for the night, and in the early morning, Lian Ge got into this urban and rural public security car at will and left the city.

......

“...... Then I'll go first, next time, next time, next time......"

The bus went forward, stopped and stopped along the road, and after entering this stretching mountain, there were fewer people on the bus, and more people got off the bus.

In the car, it gradually quieted down,

Driving along the winding mountain road, the chirping of birds hidden in the forest, and the sound of the mountain wind disturbing the branches and leaves, gradually overwhelmed the words in the car, and sounded in Lian Ge's ears through the car window.

......

“...... Gone, got off the car......"

The bus stopped again, and after another passenger with a child came down, only Lian Ge was left among the passengers in the car.

The bus started again and continued to drive on.

Outside the car window, the clouds and mist lingering in the valley in the distance gradually dispersed under the rising sun.

The branches and leaves on the side of the road are constantly changing as the sun shines on them.

......

“...... Lad, it's time to get to the terminal. ”

Beside the road that winds around the mountainside, there is a slightly spacious flat land for urban and rural buses to park.

The driver stopped the car, picked up the water glass, and greeted Lian Ge,

Lian Ge looked out the window again and got out of the car.

......

Outside the car, there were still some clouds and mist in the valley in the distance.

The hills stretched out into the distance.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the side in front of him again,

Farther on, the road that winds around the hills has turned into a dirt road mixed with gravel and dirt, and it is a long time before you can see a man from a nearby village carrying a basket on his back.

Following the dirt road and looking into the distance, Lian Ge moved his steps again, and continued to walk along the dirt road that seemed to be a little wet because of the rain and snow last night.

......

“...... Sassy ......"

"Tweet ......"

The breeze stirred the foliage, and swept the clouds and mist in the valley in the distance,

A few birds landed on the side of the road, leaping lightly from time to time, foraging for food among the weeds and bushes on the side of the dirt road, and from time to time they made a few chirpings.

Along the dirt road, Lian Ge walked forward, looking at the scenery along the way,

The little mouse on his shoulder also stood on his forelimbs, turned his head, and looked at the hill on the side of the dirt road, as if to see if there were any fruit trees.

After walking forward for a while, a few villagers carrying fertilizer bags and baskets passed by their sides, and the dirt road under their feet gradually narrowed, and the number of pedestrians passing by became fewer and fewer.

As you look along the road, you don't seem to see people or pedestrians.

......

“...... Squeak, squeak, squeak......"

Skirting the hill again, the mountain forest on the hill next to the dirt road turned into terraces for planting some crops, and you can see some people from nearby villages, working in the fields.

The little mouse, which kept turning its head, seemed to be looking for a fruit tree and couldn't find it, stood up its forelimbs again, and barked twice to the front.

On the front side, on the side of the dirt road around the hill, there is a fork in the road, and the fork in the road is a ramp, and the ramp extends downward.

Although the view of the hill next to the ramp was blocked, you could see that under the ramp, it was the smoke of the cooking that was rising from the rice point.

Turning his gaze and glancing at the guinea pig, Lian Ge smiled slightly, then retracted his gaze, and continued to move towards the fork in the road, while looking at the side of the road, on several hills along the way, in the terraced fields, the people in the nearby villages who were working,

“...... Mom, when can we go back......"

“...... When the seedlings are planted and watered, they go back. ”

On a hill next to her, in a terraced field, a little girl squatting in the field wearing an old cotton jacket, holding a small hoe in one hand, digging holes in the field, while retreating a little bit, raising her head, looking at the peasant woman who followed her,

The peasant woman held a vegetable seedling in her hand, and also a long ladle of water, and while putting the vegetable seedlings in the pit dug by the little girl, and after filling the soil, she poured some water, and said to the little girl,

“...... But, but, it was too late......"

The little girl took the hoe, dug another hole, turned her head and looked behind her, her eyes were a little anxious,

“...... What is too late...... Hurry up and dig and plant all these seedlings, and we can go back a little faster......"

“...... Oh......"

The little girl slowly lowered her head, nodded, and responded, but her hands moved faster.

“...... Mom, I'm going to skip lunch later......"

“...... Dead girl......"

......

Listening to the sound of words coming from the terraces on the hill, Lian Ge looked to the side, paused his gaze, and then turned his gaze back,

Continuing to move his steps towards the fork in the road, the smile on Lian Ge's face gradually faded.

......

Down the fork, a ramp connects the valley below the ramp,

The valley is surrounded by hills on all sides, and families are scattered at the bottom of the valley.

On every house, there is a faint smoke rising,

Women who were busy drying the grain in the yard, men returning from the fields with hoes, and a few barefoot children on the village road were chasing and playing.

After glancing, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked down the ramp, towards the village in the valley.
