“...... Hey, our village, it's on the border line with Ezhou, you pass through our village, and then cross the mountain, behind the mountain, it's the boundary of Ezhou......"

On the winding village road, a middle-aged man with a flat shoulder was pointing the way to Lian Ge, pointing in that direction while saying,

"Thank you. ”

Lian Ge looked at the mountain peaks in the distance outside the village, and said,

"What's polite, if you're away from home, it's convenient......" The man waved his hand, "...... But young man, this past Ezhou, across the town of Ezhou is still far away, my daughter is married to the town over there, every time I go back to see her, I have to go to the town to take a car, or young man, you go to the town with me, take a car. ”

"Don't bother you, I'll go this way. ”

"I'm going to town...... Okay...... Then you follow this road, after the mountain, you can see the main road, and then you follow the main road, go to Ezhou, you can get to ...... By the way, you take this, when you go up the mountain, the muddy road is steep, and you hold this bamboo pole to support it, so that the soles of your feet will not slip. ”

As he spoke, the man handed a bamboo pole in the basket to Lian Ge,

"Thank you, brother, for your kindness, but I don't need this bamboo pole. After looking at it, Lian Ge smiled and shook his head,

"Well, too, young people are light on their hands and feet, and they don't need ...... Slow down, young man, I'll have to go first, and I'll have to go to town to sell the vegetables. ”

"Okay, I wish you sell out early and close the stall early. Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile.

"Borrow your auspicious words, borrow your auspicious words......" The middle-aged man responded with a smile,

"I'll go first......

After speaking, the man carried the flat pole, along the village road, towards the outside of the village gradually walked away, and the two bamboo baskets embellished under the flat pole also fell together.

......

Watching the middle-aged man walk away, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, turned around, and looked in front of him,

After leaving the restaurant before, Lian Ge stayed in the county town for another day before leaving the county town again and traveling to where he is now.

At this moment, he was on the village road of a small village in the mountains,

The village is surrounded by undulating hills, and on the mountainside, there is a clear dividing line, below which are cultivated terraced rice fields, and above the mountainside, there are dense forests with grass and trees.

The buildings in the village are scattered in this col, and the village road winds from the head of the village through the whole village.

The direction in which the middle-aged man left was the head of the village, and the direction he pointed to was the direction in which the village road rang and the hills extended.

Moving his footsteps, Lian Ge walked along the village road, facing the hill, towards the front.

......

As they continued to pass in front of the courtyard of this household, the adults who were busy in the yard and the children who were playing around looked at Lian Ge from time to time.

“...... the kid, I've scooped up the rice, it's almost time to cook. ”

"Urge, what urge......"

“...... I'm telling you, this peach has to be crispy and delicious. ”

"Hey, it's delicious on the top of this tree, you can't climb it. ”

“...... Don't run, you rabbit cub, don't let you toss the vines, don't listen, pick them and don't eat them, all the good grapes are ruined by you, stop me......"

Lian Ge moved his steps, and passed through the village along the winding village road without hurrying.

From a distance to the side, and then from behind, the voices from each house also sounded in the ears from time to time.

The woman who is in charge of the house, lying on the fruit tree in front of the door, the half-grown child who is picking fruit, and the villager who is carrying a hoe, returning from the field.

...... Until there was no one in sight in front of him, the hills appeared in front of him, and the village gradually faded away behind him.

Without much pause, Lian Ge walked along the winding path on the hill, down the steep slope, towards the top of the hill,

Terraces of vegetable crops pass in front of you, and the leafy jungle on the top of the hill gradually approaches in front of you.

......

"Tweet ......"

"Sassy ......"

On the top of the hill, the foliage of the jungle obscured the overhead, and the sun swaying down from the sky left only mottled traces.

The mountain wind disturbed the outer branches and leaves, swaying and making noises from time to time, and insects and birds hid among the dense branches and leaves, chirping, showing their existence.

Standing at the end of the terraces, in front of the jungle, looking at the branches and leaves disturbed by the breeze, and the insects and birds in the forest, Lian Ge paused slightly,

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge stood on the top of the hill and looked towards the village where he came,

On the village road, the villagers came and went, and a few smoke rose above several people's houses.

In front of and behind him, in the jungle and in the village, the life of the two places seems to be somewhat blended.

Looking back again, I looked at the jungle, and faintly, there seemed to be some vague understanding.

......

“...... Let's go. ”

After pausing in place, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, moved his steps, and walked towards the jungle.

Brushing aside the branches and leaves of the bushes, and following the faintly trampled forest path, Lian Ge crossed the top of the mountain and passed through the jungle.

......

Stepping out of the jungle from the foot of the hill on the other side of the hill, a road appears in front of you.

Some winding roads seem to split the hills, stretching from the hills to the distance.

On the road, as far as the eye can see, there are no pedestrians and vehicles, only the sound of insects and birds in the jungle, which seems very quiet.

Stepping on the road, Lian Ge continued to walk along the winding road in the direction of Ezhou.

......

The sun above him gradually climbed into the right sky,

A man and a rat walked along the winding highway in the direction of Ezhou.

On the side and in front of him, I couldn't see the pedestrians passing by for a long time, but some vehicles passed by quickly from time to time.

Lian Ge walked unhurriedly, while looking at the scenery in the distance around him,

From time to time, the breeze blows from afar, and the shade of the hanging branches and leaves in the mountains and forests on the roadside sweeps overhead from time to time.

"gurgling...... Whoa......"

A river with a small current, but a slightly wide bed, came into view, which came from the distant hills and hills, flowed in front of and behind you, and then went farther away.

After crossing the bridge over the river and passing through a fork in the road,

The number of vehicles passing by gradually increased, and the figures of pedestrians gradually appeared in the field of vision.

......

The sun overhead gradually sets to the west, and as the pace gradually moves along the winding road,

Along the road, there are more and more buildings in the villages, more pedestrians, the traffic gradually slows down, and the rolling hills come to an end in the distance.

......

Stepping out of the rolling hills, the winding road merges into a main road,

The sound of car horns, the words of pedestrians, the noise of the city, the noise, instantly ringed in the ears,

“...... Go into the city, six into the city, six into the city, ...... to the square"

“...... The price of watermelon has been reduced, and the price has been reduced, a piece of five-one pound ......"

Vendors pulling fruits, passing city and city buses, all kinds of noisy sounds ringing in the ears,

After a slight pause, he glanced at the slowly moving vehicles on the road, and the different pedestrians, Lian Ge retracted his gaze and looked forward towards the main road,

On the road, two banners were pulled, one in front and one in the back.

"Welcome to Ezhou"

"Welcome to Checheng. ”

And after the two banners, look ahead along the road into the city,

The road merges into the towering buildings,

The bustling and bustling city is just around the corner.

"Let's go. ”

Whispering, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked towards the city not far away.

"Squeak...... Squeak squeak. ”

The little mouse squatting on his shoulders was a little excited, stood on his forelimbs, turned his head, and barked twice.
