"Come on, here ......"

In the noisy and lively stall, the middle-aged woman who was cleaning up the dining table answered, put the rag aside, wiped the oil on her hands on the apron, and walked towards Lian Ge,

“...... It's a total of 60 yuan, and you can use WeChat for cash. ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at the sign on Lian Ge's table, and then replied,

took out a piece of paper money from his pocket at random, and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

Tilting his head slightly, he looked at the night above his head, and said calmly,

"Boss, it's going to rain again, so let's close the stall early. ”

The middle-aged woman took the money handed over by Lian Ge, and was rummaging through the change in her apron pocket, when she heard it, she was stunned.

"It's going to rain again?"

The middle-aged woman raised her head and looked overhead, the night was dark, and she couldn't see anything,

"Here, get your change. ”

Turning around, the middle-aged woman handed the change she had found in her hand to Lian Ge, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and looked at it,

After taking the change and putting it in his pocket at will, Lian Ge glanced at the lively night stall again, didn't stop again, moved his steps, and walked towards the other side of the road.

“...... Come, walk, this weather, eating skewers is comfortable. ”

"Boss, ordered some more food......"

"It's really going to rain again...... It's raining, it's really ...... This stall has just been put out...... I'm sorry everyone, we'll have to close the stall in a while, oh my god, it's going to rain again. ”

"It's going to rain...... That's it. It's really autumn, the autumn rain is long, and you can't eat a skewer. ”

Mixed with complaints, apologies from the night stall owners, the tables of diners on the night stalls dispersed one after another, and the stall owners began to get busy, cleaning up the tables one by one.

Walking towards the hotel on the other side of the road, behind Lian Ge, the noise and hustle and bustle scattered away.

The wind with water vapor also blows at this time.

......

"Boom la la ......"

The dense and rapid rain followed the wind, beating the windows of the hotel from time to time, and a layer of fog was hazy.

Outside the window, the branches and leaves of the trees beside the river are swaying with the wind,

On the rippling water, splashing ripples,

Lapping on the buildings near and far, the rain on the ground, flowing, gathering, washing the buildings, the streets,

On the side of the road, the pedestrians on the road were also washed away like dust on the street, scattered, ran, and disappeared into the river.

“...... Lian Ge, is this a riverside listening to the rain?"

In the hotel room, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying were on a video call, on the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying was lying on the bed, holding her chin, listening to the rain on Lian Ge's side, and said loudly,

"It had a very quiet feeling. ”

When Lian Ge heard this, he smiled slightly, didn't answer, just turned his gaze, and then looked out of the window hazy by the rain and fog, and in the distance, the city with thousands of lights in the rain.

On the side, the little mouse standing on the armrest of the sofa chair was holding the last remaining skewer, turning his head and eyes, looking left and right at the skewer he was holding, as if he was hesitating whether to eat it.

“...... Lian Ge, you say, the old lady's youngest son, will you blame the old lady?"

After being quiet for a long time, on the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying propped her chin, looked at the other end of the phone, and asked out loud,

"No, it won't. Lian Ge looked out the window, shook his head slightly, and responded,

Hearing this, on the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoying nodded thoughtfully.

......

“...... Lian Ge, how long will it rain?"

After being quiet for a while, Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the phone looked at the phone and asked out loud.

"It's eight o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

"Can this also be calculated?" Gu Xiaoying asked with interest.

"I looked at the weather forecast. Smiling slightly, Lian Ge replied.

“...... Lian Ge, how do I feel that you are bluffing me. ”

"yes, I'm bluffing you. ”

"Okay, you dare to bluff me......"

Gu Xiaoying frowned, sat up fiercely, and said.

......

In the room, the voices of Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying were mixed,

Outside, the rain is still beating against the eaves,

The sound of rain and the sound of words, the night is getting darker.

......

“...... Sir, this is a refundable deposit and you are welcome to stay with us next time. ”

The next morning, the drizzle had just stopped, and there was still some water on the street.

In the lobby of the hotel, he casually took the money handed over by the front desk and put it in his pocket, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked at the wet street outside the hotel.

Moving his foot, Lian Ge stepped out of the hotel,

“...... Tangerines are freshly picked mandarins. ”

There was still some moisture in the air, and there were some unsliding droplets on the branches and leaves of the trees standing beside the road.

Above the head, thick clouds shrouded and changed,

On the streets, pedestrians walk through the wet streets from time to time, some fruit vendors driving tricycles have re-emerged, and not far from the bridge, vehicles are congested and drive past from time to time.

After the rain, the hustle and bustle of the city rings in my ears again.

After a slight pause, after glancing, Lian Ge moved his steps again,

"Let's go. ”

"Squeak, squeak. ”

In the wind with water vapor, mixed with the words of Lian Ge, the cry of the guinea pig,

Stepping into the street, merging in the flow of people, a man and a mouse along the riverside street, gradually moving away.

......

Along the riverbank, Lian Ge walked forward,

On the side, from gradually noisy to gradually quiet,

From the noisy downtown to the tree-lined lanes,

At your feet, from the streets on the banks of the river gradually turning into a road with few people, to the dirt road with potholes and mud that is still watery after the rain.

Overhead, thick clouds change, and the sun behind the clouds peeks out from behind the clouds from time to time, and after a burst of sunlight, it is covered by the clouds, and gradually turns from the morning sun to the setting sun.

Along the bank of the river, a person and a mouse stepped out of Xunyang City.

The bustling city is far behind you, the noise of the city is gradually replaced by the sound of insects and birds.

Around him, the figures became more and more few,

Beside him, the river that runs through the urban area of Xunyang, the river surface is gradually expanding, and then after merging into a main stream,

A vast lake gradually appeared beside Lian Ge and in front of him.

......

The sun is about to set, and the thick clouds are reflected in the sunset.

Lian Ge stepped on the muddy ground under his feet, paused again, and looked into the distance around him,

On his side are clumps of weeds, and not far in front of him is the tidal flats of the vast lake.

A few white birds were pecking at the mud of the tidal flats, bowing their heads.

Further beyond the tidal flats, there is the vast lake, on the surface of the lake, more birds are circling,

The water of the lake is following, and the wind on the surface of the lake is gently rippling, and from time to time it beats towards the shore of the lake.

The afterglow of the setting sun is reflected on the surface of the lake, reflecting the sparkling waves,

In the distance, you can see the islands in the lake, which stretch along the vast surface of the lake to the horizon, and the islands are covered with greenery.

However, although the lake is wide enough, there is still a continuous dry area above the tidal flats, which is exposed outside the tidal flats.

The ground is full of mottled cracks, and ravines are criss-crossed.

Looking at the dry area nearby, Lian Ge paused slightly, and then looked at the vast lake.

On the edge of the lake, at the end of the tidal flat, there are several fishing boats, either horizontally or leaning against the lake.

There are several fishing nets on the fishing boat, and on one of the fishing boats, a fisherman is busy with his head down.

Glancing at the fisherman, Lian Ge moved his steps again, brushed the tidal flats by the lake, and walked towards the fishing boats.

“...... Tweet ......"

In the tidal flats, a group of white cranes startled and headed away towards the lake.

As if hearing the movement, the fisherman, who was sitting on the fishing boat, turned his head and looked at Lian Ge, who was walking towards the lake.
