By the door of the hall, the breeze lingers, blowing from time to time,

The clouds and mist surrounding the waist of the mountain peaks in the distance also overflowed and surged from time to time, revealing the palace pavilions hidden behind the clouds.

As he spoke, the old man held the noodle bowl, looked up slightly in that direction, and paused.

“...... Last year, during the Chinese New Year, he came back and told me to pick me up and go to live in the city. I thought that the man was unfamiliar with the place, and he didn't know anyone around, and now that he was fine, I could still wander in the fields, and there would be no one to talk to, and besides, let's go, won't we cause trouble for him, you say yes......"

The old man said, retracting his gaze from the distance, and after a pause, he continued to eat the noodles.

On the side, Lian Ge listened to the old man's narration, ate noodles, looked into the distance, and didn't say much.

......

And the old man picked the bottom with chopsticks, and after turning over the sausage sliced at the bottom of the bowl, the action stopped again,

“...... I didn't come back yesterday, and I don't know when I'll be back this time. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze from a distance and glanced at the old man,

"I think there was a delay, I didn't come back yesterday, maybe I'll be back today. ”

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge turned his gaze back and said,

“...... That's fine, I'm afraid something will happen to him outside......" As he spoke, the old man shook his head again, "Young man, borrow your good words, borrow your good words." ”

......

“...... Hey, I'm telling you what to do, I'm sorry, maybe there's no one in this house for too long, old man, I'm talking about it, it's not over,"

The old man shook his head, turned his gaze back, and looked at the peaks of Wudang Mountain in the distance,

“...... Young man, if you want to travel to Wudang Mountain, you shouldn't go from our village, you should go from the side of the mountain, that side is the main gate, now, if you want to go over, you have to go around this mountain, around a big circle. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge raised his head slightly, and looked at the peaks of Wudang Mountain,

"Thank you, old man, but from this position, it has a different flavor. ”

"Yes. The old man paused when he heard this, and then nodded, "Although we are here to the side, this is more beautiful than looking at it from a distance, and it is more beautiful than looking closer......"

Lian Ge listened to the old man's words, holding chopsticks and holding the noodles in the bowl, eating, the heat rising from the bowl seemed to blend with the clouds and mist in the distance in his sight.

“...... Here we are, in front of the house, in the field, we can see him, the palace, the building, the tower, standing on the mountain, when the sun comes out, all can be seen.

Look at that hall, it just happened to emerge from the clouds at this time, that is Zixiao Palace, next to that Zixiao Palace, there is also a hall, but you can't see it at this time......"

“...... These halls, when I was a child, it was there, I don't know how many years, at that time, I liked to sit on the threshold of the old house when I had nothing to do, looking over there, and it was noon to sit there.

At that time, the Taoist priests in the temple often came down from here to buy some vegetables in the village...... On the mountainside, there is a spring, when the village has not drilled a well before, the people in the village often go to the spring to draw water, and the Taoist priest in the temple also draws water in that place, and the water is sweet......

This time, it flies so fast, it seems to pass in a flash, I'm old, and my sons are already old...... Looking at it now, it looks like it's still standing there as it used to be.

When I'm fine, just like then, I sit here all afternoon......"

Listening to the old man's narration, Lian Ge looked at the peaks outside the village,

From this vantage point, you can see the temple hidden in the mist, and you can also see the mountain surrounded by mist.

“...... When I was young, when I went up the mountain, I liked to stand on the cliff, in front of the palace, behind the palace, and look this way from the mountain, look at the village, see the location of my house.

Sometimes, you can see it when it's sunny, and sometimes you can only see clouds and fog...... I just don't know, if I can still see this side from the mountain. ”

As he spoke, the old man looked at the mountain peak, was slightly silent, withdrew his gaze, and took a bite of noodles.

Lian Ge looked at the peaks and the palaces and pavilions on the peaks, and after a pause, he also withdrew his gaze,

And the noodles and sausages in Lian Ge's bowl have also been eaten, and only some noodle soup remains.

"Young man, do you want to eat some more, I have more noodles, there are still in the pot, I'll give you some more in the pot." So saying, the old man stood up, and prepared to put his bowl on the table beside him.

"Thank you, old man. But a bowl is enough. Lian Ge put down his chopsticks, took the noodle bowl, stood up, and thanked him.

Hearing this, the old man paused, then nodded,

"No thanks, it's good to be full, it's good to be full......"

"I've eaten the noodles too, and I've been bothering for a long time, so it's time for me to leave. Lian Ge put the dishes and chopsticks aside and said loudly,

"Don't bother, don't bother......" The old man waved his hand, responded, hesitated again, looked at Lian Ge and said, "Young man, do you want to stop sitting for a while?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old man, smiled slightly and shook his head,

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked through the door of the hall and looked into the distance outside the house,

"Old man, your son is coming back soon, and he has been disturbed all night, so I won't disturb the old man, you and your son will be reunited. ”

After speaking, Lian Ge didn't explain too much, turned around and walked out of the hall,

On the ground on the side, the mouse who was lying on his stomach after eating noodles saw this, and instantly jumped onto Lian Ge's shoulder.

......

The old man listened to Lian Ge's words, a little puzzled, took the noodle bowl, followed two steps towards the outside of the hall, and paused again under the eaves.

I looked along the winding village road outside the courtyard, and I didn't see anything else in sight under the cover of the branches and foliage on the side of the road.

Turning his gaze back, the old man watched Lian Ge's figure fade away from his sight, until he turned a corner and disappeared from sight, and then withdrew his gaze.

......

Leaning slightly, the old man took the noodle bowl, turned around, re-entered the hall, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

The old man, as usual, moved his steps and began to bust himself in the house with some trivial things.

Just put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen,

Outside the hall, a voice suddenly sounded,

“...... Dad, Dad, where are you......"

Listening to this voice, the old man put down the dishes and chopsticks, and walked out of the kitchen again with much faster steps.

Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view, it was his son, and his son had returned.

“...... Dad, what were you busy with just now?"

"Washing dishes in the kitchen. Why didn't you come back yesterday, how many days will you come back this time?" the old man replied and asked at the same time,

"I was delayed yesterday, so let's stay at home for four days this time. The old man's son replied with a smile,

"That's been all this time. The old man nodded in response, "I want to eat something at noon, Dad, cook it for you." ”

"Let's cook sausages, Dad. ”

"Okay, Dad will cook it for you, so I'll cook it for you. The old man replied with a smile, and was about to turn and walk towards the kitchen.

"Dad, wait, there's a surprise. The old man's son stopped the old man,

"Surprise?"

“...... Hanyun, come in. His son laughed and shouted behind him,

Behind the door, a somewhat nervous girl walked in,

"Hello, uncle. ”

"Dad, be surprised......"

"Surprise, surprise......" The old man looked at his son, then at his son's girlfriend, and couldn't help but smile in response.

“...... Dad, after lunch, let's go to Wudang Mountain to play, I haven't been there for a long time......"

"Good, good ......"

The old man smiled and responded.

......

On the winding village road, he looked at a pair of young people passing by his side, and then listened to the words from the distant room behind him,

Lian Ge smiled slightly, moved his steps, and continued to walk forward along the road,

"Let's go......"

"Squeak, squeak. ”

The little mouse squatting on his shoulder turned his head, looked at the Wudang Mountain in the distance, and called twice,

"No, I won't. ”

Lian Ge also turned his gaze and glanced at Nawudang Mountain.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak......"

“...... Let's go, there's not much to eat in that place. ”

"Squeak ......"

With the cry of the mouse, one person and one rat gradually moved away along the winding mountain road, and Wudang Mountain and the village also gradually moved away behind them.
