"It's ......"

Next to the bench, the old man who stood up looked at the woman who was staggering away, shook his head, and wanted to say something, but he only sighed,

“...... In this life, what a ...... Fate makes people. ”

The old man sat down slowly.

“...... It's not fate that makes people, it's your own choice. ”

On the front side of the bench, Lian Ge, who was sitting, took the book spread out in his hand, watched the woman disappear from sight, and withdrew his gaze,

After glancing at the old man sitting beside him, he returned his gaze to the book spread out in his hand.

“...... Also. ”

The old man thought for a moment, was silent, and nodded in response,

“...... People always have to take responsibility for their own choices. ”

After speaking, the old man fell silent again, just tilted his head and looked into the distance,

Lian Ge didn't speak again, just turned the pages and looked at the contents of the book,

......

The surroundings were quiet again,

Only the faint sound of words came from the small square in the distance, mixed with the laughter of children on the lawn.

On the other side of the road, several fortune tellers sitting along the side of the road, after passing by the woman in front of them, also stopped arguing with each other, and whispered to the woman before,

On the park path, people are still coming and going, pedestrians are either hurrying by, or walking along the shade of trees.

Or the young man who hurried by, or the parents with their children, the old people who talked about their children,

......

The sun overhead was also in the crowd on the path in front of him, gradually slanting to the west, approaching the evening.

“...... Little brother, it's not too early, I've rested enough, you sit slowly, I'll go first. ”

The old man sitting beside him, looking at the sun that had slanted to the west, hammered his legs, and stood up again from the bench.

Hearing this, Lian Ge paused, looked at the old man, and nodded,

The old man smiled, turned around, patted the gray back where he was sitting just now, straightened his waist, and looked at the lawn and the park in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the old man picked up the woven bag that was placed a little farther away, and after holding the bag tightly, the old man carried it, leaned over, and walked towards the distance again.

......

"Squeak...... Squeak squeak. ”

The little mouse squatting on his shoulders stood on his forelimbs, turned his head, looked at the sun, which was gradually tilting westward, approaching the horizon, and turned his head again, looked at Lian Ge, and called twice.

"yes, it's not too late......"

Watching the old man walk along the path, bench by bench, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, glanced at the guinea pig, and couldn't help but smile and said,

Closing the book, Lian Ge stood up again, moved his steps, and walked towards the small square again.

......

In the small square, near evening, there are more pedestrians, and the food stalls are becoming more and more lively.

“...... Let's have two more meat buns. ”

"Well, okay, wait a minute. ”

At the meat sandwich stall, the stall owner was busy with his work, and after answering the words of Lian Ge, he turned around, picked up a cut steamed bun, and added marinated meat to it.

After Lian Ge spoke, he got out of the way,

Turning his gaze, looking from near and far,

Nearby, on the food stalls, more and more pedestrians stopped, the stall owners were busy, greeting customers, and the aroma of various snacks spread with the lively and noisy.

In the distance, above the sky, in addition to the west also reflected the sunset, the sky has become dark, and the buildings outside the park in the distance have been lit up, like starlight, dotted with the bustling city in the distance.

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge paused slightly,

In the gap between the food stalls, the old man with a woven bag, leaning over, picking up some plastic bottles appeared in sight again.

“...... Little brother, do you know the old man Nading too?"

The stall owner who had packed the meat bun followed Lian Ge's line of sight, glanced at the old man, and said,

"A few words were spoken. Lian Ge shook his head, retracted his gaze, and looked at the stall owner,

"Hey, that old man is also a poor man, his wife died early, and he was left with a son, but the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the son was only in his twenties, and he got cancer and died, leaving the old man alone, creating evil. The stall owner shook his head and said,

“...... Little brother, this is the meat bun you want. ”

Handing the meat bun to Lian Ge, the stall owner withdrew his gaze and continued to get busy.

......

Taking the meat bun, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the old man who was bending down to pick up the bottle, and paused,

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge moved his steps again,

On the path between the stalls, Lian Ge and the old man met again, and the old man also noticed Lian Ge, nodded to Lian Ge with a smile, and then carried the woven bag and gradually walked away.

Also smiling at the old man, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, and then glanced at the lively small square,

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked towards the outside of the park.

......

Along the park path, the sky is getting darker and darker,

Passing by the bench before, opposite the bench, there were a few pieces of red paper, and the old man who was telling fortunes and solving fortunes was collecting the stall.

“...... The big girl before, but it's really scary, you see her like that, she's not dead, it's like she's dead, and she can't see a little light in her eyes. ”

“...... Even if I don't know how to tell fortunes, I can see that the woman is estimated to have a short life...... I was so panicked when I saw the old man with those eyes, I still didn't tell fortunes for the past two days, and I always felt evilly panicked. ”

“...... I can't help but break out in a cold sweat when I think about it, old man, those eyes are really ......"

Listening to the whispers of the fortune tellers while rolling up the red paper, Lian Ge did not stop, and continued to walk towards the outside of the park without hurrying.

......

"Squeak...... Squeak squeak. ”

The little mouse squatting on his shoulders stood on his forelimbs and barked twice at Lian Ge,

“...... The place is really well chosen. ”

"Squeak ......"

"Take it. ”

Facing the night, a man and a mouse stepped out of the park, and the hustle and bustle of the city sounded in my ears again.

Listening to the cry of the mouse, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the mouse, smiled, and handed one of the meat buns in his hand to the mouse with a plastic bag.

The mouse stands on its forelimbs and directly uses its forelimbs to firmly hook the plastic bag containing the meat bun.

Looking at the guinea pig, Lian Ge paused and smiled again.

......

After a few moments,

In the hotel room where I stayed before,

Lian Ge half-leaned, sitting on the sofa chair, eating the meat sandwich bun in his hand, while looking through the window, looking at the bustling night view of the city outside the window,

On the table on the side, the mouse was concentrating on dealing with the meat bun in front of him, holding his front paws and nibbling with his mouth.

Outside the window, the night scene of the city is the same as before, among the high-rise buildings, the lights of thousands of homes are lit, and from the crisscrossing roads, pedestrians and vehicles are surging like the blood of the city.

Through the window, it seems that you can also feel the hustle and bustle of the city,

After eating the meat bun in his hand, Lian Ge stood up again, retracted his gaze, and walked towards the bedside,

"It's time to leave Chang'an and go somewhere else......"

While moving his steps, Lian Ge said,

"Squeak...... Squeak"

When the mouse heard the sound, he paused for a moment, then turned his head, looked at the meat bun held in his front paws, and then looked at Lian Gehou, and squeaked twice.

Then, at a faster speed, he held the meat bun in his hand and gnawed it.

Glancing at the guinea pig, Lian Ge smiled and turned off the light,

Then, the room gradually fell silent,

And the bustling city outside the room is still noisy.
