Chapter 255: Is It Worth It?
"Once she was willing to give her life for this kind of beauty, and now, she will be willing to be punished for this kind of beauty. β
After saying another word, Lian Ge moved away again.
......
β...... Hey, I feel that the old gentleman might as well not see her, at least then, when he dies, he still has hope in his heart, and he doesn't have to ...... like now."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying's voice rang,
Listening to Gu Xiaoying's words, Lian Ge had a smile on his face, and while listening quietly, he walked through the noisy square,
Although it is already night, the square still looks lively,
Pedestrians, street vendors. Parents with children, talking about their children and grandchildren after dinner, old people walking around, couples leaning and talking about interesting things during the day......
The sound of words, the shouting, the laughter, the footsteps, mixed and noisy,
β...... The old man waited all his life, but the result was ...... The person who waited for him had already gotten married and had children and grandchildren, but he was the only one who waited so long and died alone. β
Listening to Gu Xiaoying's words, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked forward,
"What do you think of that?"
β...... At least it shouldn't be, and I don't think it should be like that......"
Saying that, Gu Xiaoying was a little discouraged again, and didn't say any more,
Hearing this, Lian Ge raised his head slightly, looking at the bustling and lively square and the city with tall buildings in the distance.
β...... It's been too long......"
Without saying any more, Lian Ge moved his steps and continued to walk towards the front.
β...... The old man has been waiting for a lifetime, from youth and appearance, to his hair is gray, and he is still waiting until he dies, but he has only waited for such a result, Lian Ge, what do you think...... Is it worth it?"
"Then what kind of life do you think is worth it?"
Lian Ge smiled slightly, and after a pause, he asked out loud,
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the phone was a little silent,
"Will the old man regret it...... It's not that I regret waiting so long, but that I regret seeing her again at the last moment?"
......
β...... In fact, the old man had already understood that the girl he was waiting for would meet him in a white dress at the entrance of the vegetable market, and he couldn't wait. β
On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying said,
β...... It's like the old man himself said, in fact, he was waiting for the girl in the white dress at the entrance of the vegetable market, and that girl actually couldn't wait for a long time. β
When Lian Ge heard this, he looked into the distance and didn't speak.
"Lian Ge, if I lose contact with you, how long would you be willing to wait for me?" After a pause, Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the phone held her chin and asked out loud,
"I'm not going to wait. Lian Ge smiled and responded, "I'll find you if I turn the whole world upside down." β
"Oh, man, just you can speak. On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying couldn't suppress the smile on her face, but she still snorted,
"But this palace likes to listen, so I'll say a few more words. β
"Okay, okay......" Lian Ge smiled and responded.
......
"Squeak...... Squeak squeak. β
The squatting mouse on his shoulder stood on his forelimbs, turned his head, looked at the food stall next to him and screamed twice,
"Lian Ge, the guinea pig seems to have barked, what did it say?" On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying was a little curious.
"Hungry. Lian Ge smiled and replied.
......
After a while, Lian Ge ended the call, put the phone back in his pocket, turned his eyes to look at the guinea pig, and then at the food stall by the square, Lian Ge smiled and walked towards the food stall.
"Little brother, what do you think you're going to do?"
In front of the food stall, there are a few tables, sitting around some diners, it seems very lively, behind the stall, the stall owner is busy, and at the same time greeted,
"Barbecue, grilled eggplant, grilled meat...... All of these are available. β
"Let's have ten skewers of roast pork rind and ten skewers of roasted pork ribs. Lian Ge swept his eyes and said,
"Okay, sit next to me for a while, and I'll serve it to you right away. The stall owner answered, and then got busy again,
Lian Ge stepped aside, found an empty table at random next to him, and sat down, while the mouse on his shoulder turned his head and stared at the food stall that was steaming hot and filled with aroma.
Glancing at the guinea pig, Lian Ge couldn't help but smile, retracted his gaze, and glanced at the diners sitting around in front of the food stall.
A group of diners were talking to each other, and the front of the stall seemed a little noisy.
β...... This taste is really good, the boss will have another bowl of Sanhe soup......"
β...... Eh, by the way, Brother Xin, didn't you always work in the field before, is this time back for a vacation or are you going to come back for development?"
"I'm ready to go home, and when I'm out of town, I can't help but feel homesick, and I decide to come back and open a store after thinking about it. β
"Open a store, what kind of store?"
"Open a photo studio. β
"That's just the right match for your previous job, where are you going to open, and then a few brothers will take care of your business." β
"See, just walk through the square, across the street, I have coiled down the faΓ§ade......"
"Why did you think about choosing there?"
"Hey, you don't know, I used to hear my old man tell me that my great-grandfather used to run a photo studio across the street.
At that time, we were still sitting here in a vegetable market, and only my family had a photo studio in a few streets nearby. When the old man in the family went last year, he was still talking about this.
I thought, since I want to open it, I just open it there, and it can be regarded as inheriting the ancestral business. β
......
Next to Lian Ge, at another table, several young people were sitting around, eating and chatting,
Listening to the words that came clearly to his ears from the side, Lian Ge smiled slightly, raised his head slightly, looked across the square, looked at the street across the square, and paused slightly,
β...... Little brother, if you want a barbecue, it's all for you. β
The busy stall owner took the barbecue plate from behind the stall and put it on the table in front of Lian Ge, then hurriedly turned around and continued to be busy.
The little mouse squatting on his shoulder, his eyes also stopped on the barbecue on the plate, standing on his forelimbs, looking greedily,
Glancing at the mouse, Lian Ge smiled, handed the skewer to the mouse, took the skewer of barbecue himself, and ate it.
"Squeak ......"
Holding barbecue skewers, the guinea pigs fight.
......
"It's eighty-two dollars in total......"
Got up from the booth again, and after settling the bill, one person and one mouse left the front of the stall.
After a slight pause, Lian Ge looked at the lively and noisy square again, and the city with thousands of lights in the distance.
"Let's go. β
Whispering, Lian Ge moved his steps again and walked towards the front,
"Squeak Squeak......"
"I can't stop it. β
"Squeak, squeak, squeak......"
With the sound of Lian Ge's words and the cry of the guinea pig, one person and one mouse gradually moved away, and the hustle and bustle of the square behind him gradually moved away.
......
As the night darkens, there are fewer pedestrians on the streets,
After Lian Ge left the square, he didn't find a hotel to stay in, and walked along the street that gradually quieted down at night, towards the outside of the city.
High-rise buildings lit up by thousands of lights continue to pass by, roadside buildings gradually become sparse, and pedestrians and vehicles on the road are gradually decreasing, becoming more and more quiet.
A person and a rat faced the wind in the night, looking at the lights of thousands of homes next to the street, along the road, gradually moving away,
The streets under your feet gradually turned into main roads, and from main roads to winding mountain roads, and the hustle and bustle of the city was replaced by the insects in the fields and forests.
Sideways, there are no longer towering tall buildings passing by, but instead swaying branches and leaves in the forest, scattered houses along the road,
The bustling and lively city is also gradually moving away behind him.
