"Tweet ......"

Along the winding mountain road with some potholes, Lian Ge ended the call with Gu Xiaoying and continued to walk forward,

The mountain breeze passes through the winding mountain road between the mountains, swaying the branches and leaves of the mountain forest on the hillside of the road,

The sound of the wind is mixed with the chirping of insects and birds, and the words of pedestrians on the road linger in the ears.

Moving his steps, a man and a rat walked farther and farther along the mountain road, and on the side of the road, or carrying woven bags, or carrying backpacks, or with children, the villagers wiped their sweat from time to time, from Lian Ge's side, along with the hills outside the road, constantly skimming.

The hills grew shorter and more pedestrianized, and after the old urban and rural buses staggered past them a few more times, the rolling hills were far behind them, replaced by buildings in the distance in front of them.

On the road, there are more and more vehicles, and the noise of insects and birds is replaced by another kind of noise.

"Welcome to Xunyang......"

A banner hangs on the road, it seems that it has not been changed for a long time, and it has faded a little,

"Enter the city, enter the city, go to the city hospital, get in the car and go, get in the car and go......"

The van that passed by slowed down and shouted towards the side of the road, more and more pedestrians gathered in the city,

“...... Sell apples, apples have cut their prices......"

Looking at the somewhat faded banner and listening to the hustle and bustle on his side, Lian Ge moved his steps and continued to walk towards the front.

The mountains and forests in the distance behind him became farther and farther away, and one person and one rat stepped into the hustle and bustle of the city again.

......

“...... Jianshe North Road has arrived, and passengers who get off the bus should get off through the back door. ”

"Today's weather is gloomy, and I always feel like it's going to rain, so I knew to go out with an umbrella. ”

"Besides, I asked you to take it or not, now you know?"

"Hey, it's coming, it's coming, it's going to be ......."

"Clearance sale, clearance sale, sell-out deadline ......"

Stepping into the urban area of Xunyang, Lian Ge chose a road at random and walked forward,

On the road, the vehicles are congested, slowly moving forward,

Pedestrians are hurrying or talking to each other,

On the side of the road, in the shops, the sound of hawking can be heard from time to time, mixed with the sound of vehicles passing by on the road, and the sound of pedestrians.

......

Moving his steps, looking at the city and the people who make up it, listening to the sounds of the roadside, near and far, Lian Ge walked forward at will.

The little mouse on his shoulder also turned his head and looked at the city.

The pace gradually moved forward, and the buildings and pedestrians on his side continued to pass by,

Above my head, some gloomy skies were changing.

Dark clouds kept gathering and suppressed over the city, and the sky became darker and darker.

......

After a few more streets, Lian Ge walked to a river and paused again.

Looking at the river not far away, with the wind swaying lightly, after pausing his gaze, Lian Ge raised his head slightly and looked at the sky above his head,

Thick dark clouds have covered the sky, the air is already filled with moisture, and a rainstorm seems to be coming.

“...... Go faster, if you don't hurry up, you'll have to become a soup chicken......"

"It's not your fault, I don't even look at the weather forecast when I go out......"

Listening to the sound of footsteps and words passing by his side and moving away quickly, Lian Ge retracted his gaze and looked at the riverside street in front of him, which was becoming quieter and quieter.

There were few pedestrians on the road, either running into the distance or simply hiding in the shops along the street.

At the same time, a somewhat abrupt figure came into Lian Ge's eyes.

It was not far from the Qiaotou intersection, and vehicles still drove by the Qiaotou road from time to time.

The pedestrians had already gone away under the threat of heavy rain, but at that intersection, a figure still stopped,

Even though the light at the intersection is green, it still stands in place.

Looking at that figure, Lian Ge paused slightly,

It was an old man, an old lady, alone, with neither an umbrella nor anything in his hand.

Just standing at the intersection of the bridgehead, looking at the cars passing by the bridgehead in front of him, he let the water vapor in the breeze become thicker.

......

Glancing at the old lady again, Lian Ge turned his gaze back and looked at the increasingly dense dark clouds in the sky,

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge didn't stop anymore, turned around, glanced along the riverside street, and walked towards a hotel by the river.

......

“...... Sir, do you need accommodation?"

In the front desk hall of the hotel, seeing Lian Ge stepping into the hotel, the front desk attendant got up and asked,

"Let's stay for a day. ”

Lian Ge walked to the front desk and answered casually,

"What kind of room do you need......?"

......

"Sir, the check-in procedures have been completed, I'll take you to the room......"

"Not yet. ”

Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked out of the hotel through the door of the hotel lobby,

The wind grew stronger and the sky darkened.

"Okay, here's your key card...... Sir, if you need to go out again, there is an umbrella that you can bring with you. ”

After the front desk clerk handed the room card to Lian Ge, he followed Lian Ge's gaze, looked outside the hotel, and said loudly.

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge put the room card in his pocket casually, picked up an umbrella from the front desk, and stepped out of the hotel lobby again.

......

On the side of the street, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked towards the Qiaotou intersection again,

The old lady was still there, as before, looking at the passing cars at the bridge, and stopped.

After a pause, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked towards that place.

......

Walking to the intersection of Qiaotou Road, Lian Ge paused, and then glanced at the old lady beside him,

The old lady looked to be about sixty years old, and her gray hair was neatly combed.

The figure looks a little thin, slightly bent,

At this intersection, he seemed to be unaware of the changes in the weather, just clasped his hands together, silent, looking at the cars passing in front of him,

"Old lady, the rain is coming, won't you go home?"

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the intersection and said in a calm tone,

Hearing the sound, the old lady seemed to notice Lian Ge on her side, turned her head to look at Lian Ge, and after being silent, she shook her head,

“...... Thank you. ”

After thanking her, the old lady turned her head again, clasped her hands together, and looked at the road in front of her.

Glancing at the old lady again, Lian Ge turned his gaze back and looked into the distance,

"The old lady is waiting for someone?"

Hearing this, the old lady still looked in front of her, silent, did not respond, just clutched the hand in front of her, and pressed her fingers on the back of her hand.

Lian Ge didn't say anything more, stood beside him, and waited quietly.

......

After a long time, the old lady turned her head, looked at Lian Ge, and after being silent, she said loudly,

"I'm waiting for someone, waiting for my son to ......"

After saying a word, the old lady turned around and looked at the cars passing on the street and on the bridge.

"The eldest son broke the law and was sentenced to death, and he will be shot today, and the escort car will pass through here ......"

As she spoke, the old lady fell silent again.

After a pause,

didn't say anything, Lian Ge retracted his gaze,

“...... Wow!"

Looking at the thick dark clouds above his head, Lian Ge stretched out the umbrella in his hand,

A gust of wind blew by, swept down a dead leaf on the branch of the tree beside the road, and carried it away into the distance.

At this moment, above the cloudy sky, sparse raindrops began to drip and fall to the ground, and immediately after, the raindrops became dense and rapid,

The fallen dead leaves, slapped on the ground by the rapid raindrops,

A shower hit.

Washing over the cars passing on the road, buildings obscured by rain and fog in the distance......
