Chapter 256: Under Wudang Mountain
"Chirp...... Sassy. ”
The breeze disturbs the branches and leaves, and the sun shines through the window and reflects under the window.
Outside the house, among the dense leaves, the sound of insects and birds sounded, as if to show their existence,
"Crunch ......"
Lian Ge, who woke up from his sleep, turned over and sat up, didn't stay much, and opened the bedroom door.
"Squeak, squeak......" The mouse lying on the side also suddenly got up and jumped on Lian Ge's shoulder.
......
“...... Boy, get up. ”
By the door of the hall, an old man who looked like an old farmer was knocking on the cigarette stick on the threshold, cleaning up the remaining cigarette ash.
"I get up so early, like when my boy comes back from free, he won't get up until three o'clock in the morning until he sleeps. ”
With a smile on the old man's dark face, he stood up,
“...... It just so happens that the water in the pot is also boiling, old man, I want to make some noodles, or you can eat some young man,"
"Don't bother. ”
Lian Ge walked to the door of the hall, shook his head, and looked out of the house,
This is a village in the mountains and forests, along the winding path in front of the door, scattered with buildings on both sides,
After arriving here last night, Lian Ge entered the village, randomly found a family at the entrance of the village, and spent the night.
"What's the trouble, anyway, the old man boiled one bowl of noodles, and two bowls of noodles were also boiled......"
The old man shook his head and said,
"Young man, you wait a little longer, and then you can sit down and eat it. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the old man, and nodded,
"I'm sorry for you. ”
The old man waved his hand, put the cigarette stick in his hand on the stool next to him, and walked towards the kitchen.
......
Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, took a stool, sat down in front of the door of the hall, and looked out of the house.
Outside the hall is the front yard, and next to the front yard is the path that connects the houses in the village.
Outside the village, in the distance, there are several mountain peaks next to each other, connected with the surrounding mountains, the top of the mountain peaks has been surrounded by kind clouds, but with the disturbance of the breeze, the buildings on the mountain still faintly appear in front of you.
It was an ancient building, and you could see the outline of the palace pavilion.
“...... Come, young man, the face is ready. ”
Behind him, the old man's voice sounded again, and he walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of noodles.
Hearing this, Lian Ge stood up, stretched out his hand and took one of the bowls of noodles,
"Thank you, old man. ”
"You're welcome. The old man waved his hand and put his bowl of noodles on the table next to him, "There are not too many condiments, just don't dislike it." I cooked some sausages yesterday and haven't eaten them, so I cut some and put them in the bottom of the bowl.
“...... By the way, and ......"
As he spoke, the old man turned around and walked into the kitchen.
......
Not long after, the old man came out with a shallow-bottomed plate again, and the plate also contained some noodles.
“...... I almost forgot about you, come on, you have it too. ”
The old man smiled, said to the guinea pig on Lian Ge's shoulder, and put the plate aside,
The guinea pig who was looking at the bowl in the singer smelled the sound, and after looking at the singer, he instantly jumped off his shoulder, went around the plate, and ate,
The old man looked at the mouse and smiled, and then he raised his face,
"I'm tired, old man. ”
Lian Ge glanced at the eating guinea pig, turned his gaze, and thanked the old man,
"Don't bother, don't bother......"
The old man said with a smile,
“...... The old wife and son of the family went early, and the son worked in the city, and I was alone in this house on weekdays, and there were no guests, not even anyone to talk to. ”
As he spoke, the old man sat down by the door of the hall.
"I have been working in the fields all day, and I am busy early, and I don't seem to be busy.
This person, it's strange to say, sometimes I want to be quiet, sometimes I want to be lively, and I have to thank you for being able to talk to the old man for a while. ”
“...... Taste it, taste the taste of the noodles and see if it suits your appetite," the old man said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old man, held the noodle bowl, picked up the noodles and took a bite,
“...... Pretty good. ”
"It's good, it's good......"
The old man answered, and also ate with a bowl of noodles.
“...... My son doesn't like to eat noodles, and every time he comes back, he always thinks about the sausage at home. Last year, during the Chinese New Year, I made more of this sausage, thinking that when he was free, he could come back and have a look...... Every month, in the middle of the month, he would come back from the city, and I would count the days, and in the morning I would cook the sausage for him, and when he got home at noon, he would be able to eat it. ”
Eating noodles, the old man looked into the distance and said,
Lian Ge heard the sound and listened quietly,
“...... Normally, he should have come back yesterday, and I got up early yesterday morning and cooked the sausage, but he didn't come back yesterday...... Today, we ate the same sausage that we cooked yesterday.
On weekdays, I don't dare to cook this sausage casually, otherwise this sausage is finished, and he won't come back. ”
The old man held the noodle bowl, ate the noodles, and said with a smile,
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the sausage slices that had just been turned out of the bottom of the bowl in the bowl, and paused slightly.
"Why didn't the old man call and ask?" Lian Ge looked into the distance and asked aloud,
Hearing this, the old man paused, then shook his head,
“...... He bought me a mobile phone, and he also called home on weekdays...... But you said that he is also busy on weekdays, and it is not easy to be outside, and it is not good to call him all the time for these small things at home. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old man and didn't say anything.
“...... Young man, you were looking at the other side of the mountain, right?"
After a pause, the old man looked at the towering peaks outside the village.
"Speaking of which, young man, you're here for a tour, right? Those mountains over there, that is, Wudang Mountain, look there, those palaces on the mountains, and those towers, but they are all beautiful...... At this time, I can't see clearly, but when the sky is clearer, those palaces on the mountain can be seen clearly here. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge raised his head slightly, and looked at the palace pavilions hidden behind the clouds and mist on the peaks of Wudang Mountain.
“...... Hey, when my son was young, he liked to go to that mountain, and he told me that when he was older, he would go to the Taoist temple to be a Taoist, and let me beat him up. ”
The old man looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and said with a smile,
“...... At that time, the child and his mother are still there, every time it comes to the New Year, the family is also poor, and there is no place to go, so I go to the mountain to go around, at that time, the mountain tickets are cheap, some views, and I don't charge money, I will take my son, and his mother, in those palaces and buildings, shopping inside, it is regarded as the New Year......
On that peak over there, there was an old Taoist priest in the temple, and the old Taoist priest was eighty or ninety years old at that time, with a beard, and his beard was white......
As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and pointed to one of the peaks,
“...... The children in the surrounding villages all like to pull the beard of the Taoist priest, and my son is also skinned, and he also pulls it, and the old Taoist priest is not angry, he smiles, and sometimes gives those children candy to eat......"
The old man said with a smile, and then paused,
Shaking his head,
“...... A few years ago, the Taoist priest went. My son is older, and he is busy with work, and he doesn't have time to go up the hill anymore. I've been up for a long time, and I haven't gone up and around......"
