"After this corpse surfaced in the water, white bubbles appeared under the nose and mouth, and it was drowned. And the hand is tied, and there is a stone embellished, isn't it that he was bound by man, and sunk to the bottom of the water, and drowned alive?"

"Iniquity...... This is the second one today. ”

In the hall, at the dinner table, the old man held the bowl, sighed, and shook his head.

“...... Sir, let's eat, don't spoil your appetite. The old man withdrew his gaze and picked up his chopsticks again.

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old man, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

......

Outside the hall, the fainting rain still lapped the ground, splashing a trace of mist, filling the near and far places.

In the hall, at the dinner table, Lian Ge and the old man's family were eating and talking.

The voice of the words seemed to blend into the sound of the rain, but it was a little quieter.

The old man's grandson is still gobbling it up.

On the ground on the side, the guinea pigs are also fighting around the rice bowl in front of them.

......

"Thank you, old man, for your hospitality. ”

At the end of the meal, the old lady cleaned up the table with dishes and chopsticks, and the old lady's grandson also helped on the side.

Lian Ge stood up again and said loudly to the two old men.

"Eh, what are you doing so politely. Our village is connected to the outside is a muddy road, and there are not many people coming on weekdays. Don't be so polite. ”

The old lady who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks waved her hand.

Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly, turned his eyes and looked outside the door of the hall,

"The rain has stopped, and it's been bothering for a while, so I won't bother anymore. ”

Outside the eaves, the showers have subsided, and the dark clouds gathering in the sky have gradually dispersed.

"Little sir, sit down again, and wait until your clothes are dry before leaving. The old lady also glanced out of the hall and turned her head to speak.

"The clothes are dry. Lian Ge smiled and said,

When the old lady heard the sound, she couldn't help but look at it again, only to find that the soaked clothes on Lian Ge's body before had dried out at some point, and there were no traces of rain erosion.

"Then we won't force us to stay, so as not to miss your trip, sir. ”

The old man sitting beside Lian Ge stood up and said in a loud voice,

"I'll send you off, sir, lest you lose sight of the way to the entrance of the village. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old man and nodded,

"That's tiring. ”

The old man shook his head, shifted his steps, and walked outside.

Lian Ge turned his gaze, smiled and nodded at the old lady and her grandson, turned around, and stepped out of the hall as well.

......

Outside the house, under the eaves, the old man took off the straw hat hanging by the door, put it on, and turned to look at Lian Ge,

"Sir, let's go. ”

As he spoke, he stepped out of the eaves, bent over, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

After looking at the rain, the courtyard that had not yet dried, and the clouds and mist that had not yet dispersed in the mountains and forests in the distance, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, looked at the old man walking forward, and moved away again.

......

"Old man, the coffin has been there for a while. ”

At the side of the courtyard, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the coffin under the eaves, retracted his gaze, did not stop, looked at the front, and asked in a calm tone,

"It's been a few years. ”

The old man walked beside Lian Ge, leading the way, and answering the words,

"That coffin is actually for the old man and myself. It's been there ever since my dad died. On weekdays, there are floating corpses that have been scooped up, so I will temporarily put them away, and when the old man stretches out his feet, I will also lie down in them. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old man and asked in a calm tone.

"Don't you feel bad luck old man?"

"What's the bad luck? In my life, I have seen more dead people than living people, and if you want to talk about it, I am more familiar with dead people, and besides, isn't it more obscure that the coffin has been empty?" the old man shook his head and said as he walked forward.

When Lian Ge heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

Retract your gaze and look ahead,

On the winding village road, there is still some stagnant water that has not yet dried up in the low-lying places, and the breeze blows from time to time, carrying the water vapor still in the air.

Stepping on the wet ground, Lian Ge and the old man walked towards the end of the winding village road, the entrance of the village,

“...... Now that your coffin has been prepared, has the cemetery been chosen?"

"No, I don't. If only that time comes. Just find a place to bury it on this hill," replied the old man, looking up at the hills that surrounded the village, "and I can accompany these old friends like my ancestors for generations." ”

When Lian Ge heard this, he smiled slightly,

"Since you didn't choose the old man, why don't I choose one for you?"

When the old man heard this, he turned his head to look at Lian Ge, and looked at him again,

Facing the old man's gaze, Lian Ge also looked at the old man with a smile,

"That's fine. Sir, look at which place suits me. The old man said with a smile.

"Old man, look at how it is here. ”

As he spoke, Lian Ge paused, and the old man also stopped.

While talking, Lian Ge and the old man were already at the entrance of the village, and the place where they were located was the place where the entrance of the village bordered the road outside.

Standing on the road at the entrance of the village, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked at the foot of the mountain next to the road.

Raising his head slightly, his eyes followed the foot of the mountain, on the hill at the entrance of the village, from the mountainside to the top, and there were also graves.

Looking at the long tomb, Lian Ge smiled slightly, moved his steps, and walked towards the foot of the hill on the side of the road.

"Since you have always called me sir, old man, then I will be Mr. Hui. Lian Ge paused again at the foot of the mountain, turned to look at the old man, and said with a slight smile,

"It's not the best place, but it's the best place to live behind you. ”

"However, the old man, you have accumulated a lot of yin and virtue, even if you are buried in a murderous place, you can turn it into a blessed land. This place is just the icing on the cake. ”

The old man standing on the side of the road heard the sound, looked at Lian Ge again, and then looked at the place where Lian Ge said.

Although it is the foot of the mountain, the terrain is a cut higher than the surrounding area, even after the rain at this moment, there is no wet mud in that place, and the mountain behind it happens to be a hill where the ancestors buried the unclaimed floating corpses, and not far in front of him, is the road out of the village.

"Old man, what do you think of here?"

Lian Ge smiled, looked at the old man, and asked again.

"It's good, it's good...... the old man looked at Lian Ge and nodded with a smile, "Then thank you, sir." ”

Looking at the old man, Lian Ge smiled again.

Subsequently, Lian Ge drove the mana in his body and stepped on it.

In an instant, a deep footprint was stepped on on the fairly dry ground.

“...... When you can use it one day, find someone to dig around this footprint. ”

Lian Ge smiled and walked back to the road from there without hurrying.

"Thank you, sir. ”

The old man looked at the deep footprints and said to Lian Ge more solemnly.

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the old man again and withdrew his gaze.

"Now that it's over, it's time for me to go. ”

"That'...... Sir, you go slowly, follow this road all the way, and you can get on the road. The old man leaned over and nodded in response.

Listening to the old man's words, Lian Ge looked at the dirt road outside the village road, where there were some potholes and rainwater, and then looked at the graves on the hills beside him.

Smiling, Lian Ge moved his steps back and walked towards the outside of the village.

Behind him, the old man standing in place was like a hill arching a tomb, gradually approaching.
