In the courtyard, it is still quiet,

There are only some bowls and chopsticks colliding, rustling, mixed,

The guests did not stay long after the feast, and they went straight away.

The woman in festive clothes greeted the guests, put down her glass, and stood behind the courtyard gate with the man before, and gave some handkerchiefs and towels to the departing guests, as if to make the guests happy.

“...... Ahem, young man, have you eaten well? Do you want to take a few more bites, and I'll ask the main family to bring you a bowl of soup, and you can drink some soup to warm your body?"

At the dining table, Lian Ge stood up, looked at the old man with a smile, and didn't speak.

The old man also followed and got up from the stool, still holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand, coughed dryly, covered up his 'embarrassment and shyness', and said in a loud voice,

“...... If you don't add some rice, young man, you eat two bites of rice, and if you don't eat two bites of rice, it's almost something. ”

"No need. Lian Ge was still smiling, looking at the old man,

"The meal has passed, and it is already full. It's not early, it's time to rest, and the old man leads the way. ”

Lian Ge said, still smiling and groaning,

On his shoulder, the mouse was holding a large piece of back pot meat, with a round belly, while gnawing a bite of back pot meat from time to time, while turning his head from time to time, and also looking at the old man,

“...... That's it!"

The old man took the chopsticks, looked at the dish in front of him that he had touched a chopstick, nodded, and put the chopsticks down.

“...... I happen to be full, old man...... Lad, please. ”

Turning around, the old man led the way and walked out of the courtyard,

Lian Ge smiled again, moved away, and walked out with the old man.

......

“...... Uncle Xu, have you eaten enough?"

“...... Eaten. ”

At the gate of the courtyard, the man before handed a guest who had left, and noticed the old man and Lian Ge, and hurriedly walked over and greeted him.

“...... Uncle Xu, do you think there's anything else you need to prepare, do you want to do it?"

“...... As I said before, it will be settled. After all the guests are gone, you can pack up and rest, you are tired of the day. ”

The old man stopped, answered first, and then said aloud,

“...... There's nothing I need to do, so I'll take this guest back to my house first. If there's anything you can do, you can call me, or just come and call me. ”

“...... Okay, Uncle Xu. Then you go slowly, I'm bothering Uncle Xu today. ”

The man answered, and greeted again,

The old man led the way again and moved away.

Looking at the courtyard that was becoming quieter and quieter, Lian Ge and the old man walked forward towards the end of the village.

......

“...... When I was young, I followed my father and organized the red and white ceremonies in the village. At that time, I thought that when the person waiting for Sister Shen came back, I would definitely handle this wedding for her. ”

On the village road, the villagers who had dispersed from the banquet walked everywhere, but in the night, the village still seemed quiet.

Leading the way, the old man seemed to be explaining something to Lian Ge, and seemed to be saying to himself,

Lian Ge listened, and walked along the village road with the old man, as before, without expressing any opinions,

“...... It's just that I didn't expect that from the time I was young, to the time I was so old, Sister Shen didn't wait until she was over. ”

“...... Sister Shen is a warm-hearted person who has helped many people in the village. Many people also feel sorry for her, and after waiting for so many years without any result, they also persuaded her. She's never heard of ...... either."

"But...... Now, they're married. ”

The old man smiled and said,

“...... Moreover, there is also a young man, you can give a marriage certificate, and you will definitely be able to do what you said, young man, the two of them can be together for a hundred years and be married forever. ”

As he said this, the old man turned his head and looked at Lian Ge,

Lian Ge moved his steps, listened quietly, didn't make a sound, didn't say anything, glanced at the old man, and then turned his gaze, looking at the families along the road in the distance,

Lian Ge didn't answer, and the old man gradually fell silent, just leading the way and moving forward.

The village road is becoming quieter.

......

Neither of them stopped, and they couldn't help but slow down, and walked towards the old man's house.

“...... Here, young man, you stand first, and I'll turn on the lights in the hall. ”

Walking to the front of the house, by the courtyard, in front of the door of the hall, the old man stopped, turned around and said something to Lian Ge, pushed open the door of the hall that was hidden, walked towards the hall with his legs,

Lian Ge also stopped, retracted his gaze, and looked at the old man,

"Old sir,"

His tone was calm, and he shouted,

The old man's stride in stopped,

"Sir, what do you see? ”

With a calm tone, Lian Ge looked at the old man and said aloud.

Hearing this, the old man turned his back to Lian Ge, paused again, and slowly turned around,

Facing Lian Ge, the old man was silent, followed closely, slowly bent down, and stretched his hand forward,

A little bit, towards Lian Ge, knelt down, head down, body prostrate forward,

Lian Ge just stood in place, moved half a step to the side, and looked calmly,

“...... I should have come back from the field earlier this afternoon, because something was going on in the evening. But as soon as I stepped on the ridge, I felt a little on a whim, and I felt that my heart was flustered, and I knew that it was Lingyun's warning, so I stayed in the field until the young man ...... Sir, come here. ”

Kneeling on the ground, noticing that Lian Ge moved half a step to the side, the old man couldn't help but pause, but after all, he still didn't move, lowered his head, and said.

Lian Ge listened, looking at the old man kneeling on the ground,

In his sight, the old man did not have mana, but he was full of spiritual energy, similar to the original Zen master.

didn't speak, Lian Ge just watched, listened quietly,

“...... As soon as you arrived, sir, I vaguely knew where the feeling of whim came from...... Although my Taoism is superficial, I can still vaguely feel that sir, you have mana, and there seems to be a clear qi lingering around your body, so you are a true cultivator, so I hurriedly ran down from the mountain and the field, blocking the way of true cultivation. ”

The old man was still kneeling, his head getting lower and lower, and he was almost touching the ground.

"Get up, old man, even if I am a true cultivator, you don't have to bow to me. ”

Looking at the old man, Lian Ge's tone was calm and he said loudly.

When the old man heard the sound, he didn't get up, but just knocked his head on the ground and knelt down.

Lian Ge looked at the old man again, turned his gaze, and looked at the hall, in the bedroom where the old lady next to him lived.

“...... Lao Xu, Lao Xu...... Are you back?"

At this moment, in the next room, the old lady's cry came out,

The old man trembled slightly, still kneeling on the ground, did not respond, knocked his head on the ground, knelt down,

"Let's get up first. ”

Turning his gaze back, his tone was calm, Lian Ge said loudly to the old man,

When the old man heard the sound, he still knelt on the ground, slowly raised his head on the ground, turned his head, and changed his tone to the room over there.

“...... Old woman, it's me, it's me who is back. ”

“...... You're out there...... Why don't you turn on the lights when you enter the house......"

“...... I'll talk to the guy just now, it's okay, you can sleep in peace. ”

“...... Then ...... you speak?"

After saying a few words to the old lady in the room, the old man slowly turned his head again,

knelt on the ground and moved towards Lian Ge,

This time, facing Lian Ge, the old man knelt down again and kowtowed heavily to Lian Ge.
