Glancing at that place, Lian Ge paused, turned his gaze back, and continued to walk along the road in the village.

After the man with the hoe walked out of the yard, he looked up at the sky and quickened his pace.

Walking past Lian Ge's side, he couldn't help but look sideways, but he didn't say anything, after looking at it, he turned his head again, and hurriedly walked forward with more and more steps.

......

Along the village road, Lian Ge moved his steps forward, looking at the houses along the way, the scene, and listening to the words that sounded in his ears with the breeze,

After the man with the hoe walked by, Lian Ge turned his gaze again and glanced at the man,

The man hurried into a house on the side of the village road in front of him.

“...... Kid's father, he's back, so we're going to eat?"

“...... Daddy......"

“...... Eh...... You eat first, I'll go out again, and go over to the old man's side......"

“...... Okay, then I'll put the dishes in the pot for me......"

After a few words in the room, the man came out of the room again.

The hoe seemed to be lowered, and the man had two more bags in his hand, one containing some fruit and the other with what appeared to be some clothing.

Carrying the two bags of things, the man walked out of the room, and hurried forward.

......

Glancing at the man, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and continued to walk along the road, looking at the people along the way,

In front of the people, the people in the village who were turning the grain were busy, eating, and the people with rice bowls greeted the people next door and the villagers who walked by the road from time to time.

After walking along the road in the village again, Lian Ge paused again.

I saw the man again.

......

On the side of the road, there is a family's yard, and in the yard is some flat mud ground, and there is a tuft of bamboo picked against the roadside.

In the courtyard, there was an old house, and the walls were made of rocks, and the cracks between the rocks were mixed with some straw.

The wall is top, covered with beams and timber roofs, and the roof is covered with some large tiles, which seem to have been renovated, and there are still some tiles of different colors.

The roof extends towards the front of the house, obscuring the eaves.

Under the eaves is a step higher than the courtyard,

The man with the hoe was standing on the steps, in front of the house.

......

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the family,

Under the eyes of the sky, in addition to the old house and the faded mottling on the door of the hall, you can see some other things,

And on the steps, by the door, in addition to the man before, you can also see two ghostly figures.

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the man again.

The man stood in front of the door of the house, moved the bag he was carrying in both hands to the other, stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, and then reached out and knocked lightly on the door of the house.

"Knock knock, knock knock......"

After two knocks, the man paused,

“...... Is the old man at home?"

Shouting into the house, the man couldn't help but look back at the courtyard,

“...... It's really cold. ”

As he spoke, the man shuddered, and then reached out and tightened the collar of his clothes.

“...... In the house, wait......"

"Ga ......"

And at this time, the voice of an elderly man sounded in the house,

Then, not long after, the wooden door, which had faded to its lacquer color, was pulled open from the inside,

An old man who looked a little thin, dressed in cotton clothes, slumped over, appeared behind the door,

Raising his head, the old man looked at the man outside the house, and his somewhat cloudy eyes became clearer.

“...... Xu Yong. ”

After looking at it, the old man called, lowered his head again, looked at his feet, trembled slightly, and lifted his feet, as if to lift his feet over the threshold, and walked out of the door,

It's just that the old man's legs are raised, and lowered, and raised, and can only fall, and the height of the threshold is always a little worse.

“...... Old man, you don't have to come out. ”

The man noticed the old man's feet, quickly reached out and helped him, and then said aloud,

“...... Hey, old ......"

The old man looked at his feet, paused, and said out loud with a smile,

He raised his head again and looked at the man,

“...... Xu Yong, you go into the house, come in and sit down, wait a minute...... Wait a minute. ”

As he spoke, the old man turned around again, and staggered a little, and walked into the house again.

“...... Huh. ”

The man answered, and followed him into the house.

“...... Before, I borrowed some money from Xu Yong, if I'm not mistaken, it should be five hundred and forty-two yuan, right......"

The old man staggered to a table next to the room, picked up a neat plate of money, and said in a loud voice,

“...... I thought, it's almost time to give it back to you...... This money has been prepared first, Xu Yong, you count it and see if it counts...... Ahem......"

As he spoke, the old man walked back to the man, handed the dish of money back to the man, and coughed dryly twice.

“...... Old man, I'm not here to ask for money...... You can keep the money for the old man, and then pay it back when it's convenient...... If you need it, I've got a little bit of it. ”

The man didn't reach out to take the money in the old man's hand, and hurriedly said,

“...... Take it, it's time to pay it back. ”

The old man leaned over and shook his head,

“...... Ahem......"

coughed two more times, and the old man's outstretched hand trembled slightly,

“...... Huh. ”

When the man heard this, he answered again, stretched out his hand and took the money.

Hurriedly asked again,

“...... Old man, you have a cold, why don't I take you to the town?"

“...... No...... No need to ......"

The old man waved his hand and gasped twice as he spoke,

“...... It's just that I'm a little cold, so I'll boil some Chinese medicine and drink it myself......"

“...... Old man, if you get sick, you can't delay it, otherwise a minor illness will become a major illness, and it will be serious......"

“...... I know...... I know ......"

“...... By the way, old man, isn't it cold, I went to the town a few days ago to buy clothes for my dad, who knows, I found that the clothes were small when I bought it, and you don't know my dad's body, it's so fat...... I can't return this dress, so I'll bring it to the old man to try it, old man, try it and see if you can wear it......"

The man put the bag of fruit on the table next to him, lifted another bag, took out a padded jacket from it, and said to the old man with a smile,

“...... How big is this dress?"

The old man raised his head, looked at the man with a little cloudiness in his eyes, and asked in a loud voice,

“...... Plus size. ”

The man quickly replied.

"How big am I wearing?"

The old man looked at the man and asked again,

"Plus-size, medium-sized can also be worn, but plus-size is more comfortable to wear......"

The man didn't think much about it, so he answered directly.

“...... You, you...... cough cough cough ......"

The old man smiled, looked at the man and shook his head, and said out loud, just as he spoke, he coughed twice more,

“...... How much is this dress, I will give you the money. ”

“...... No money, anyway, my dad can't wear it, and he can't return it, so you can just wear it, old man......"

The man grinned and said aloud,

“...... You......"

The old man shook his head again, reached out and took the clothes,

“...... Let's not talk about these things first, old man, try it first to see if it is suitable or not......"

“...... Cheng, I'll try, I'll try......"

“...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......"
