“...... Click. ”

The dew dripped down the gently swaying branches and leaves on the ground under the forest,

The branches and leaves are intertwined, rubbing, and there is a sound of rustling,

A trace of mist lingers beside the grass and trees, spreading out along the forest,

Through the sunlight in the gaps between the dense leaves, dappled on the ground, dissolving the mist,

The shadows of the branches and leaves reflected in the forest seem to be a little shadowy.

......

“...... Lian Ge, let's say, are you already warm in winter and cool in summer. ”

Under the forest, leaning on the trunk of a tree, Lian Ge, who was sleeping in the open, was making a video call with Gu Xiaoying with his mobile phone.

On the other end of the video call, Gu Xiaoying was wrapped in the quilt, so she stretched out her head, looked at Lian Ge on the other end of the video call, and said with a hum,

"Isn't it appropriate not to be afraid of the cold and heat? ”

Lian Ge looked at Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the video call, responded with a smile, and stood up again,

On the body, on the clothes, on the shoulders squatting on the hair of the mouse, the dew stained in the night, as if it was just barely attached, followed from Lian Ge's body, the mouse hair slipped from the hair, fell to the ground, and soaked into the soil.

The clothes on Lian Ge's body and the hair on the guinea pig's body are as dry as ever.

“...... Hmph, it's warm in winter and cool in summer...... Come here, let me hold it, isn't it warm in winter and cool in summer?"

Gu Xiaoying wrapped herself in the quilt, stretched out her head, like a silkworm chrysalis, and chirped and said,

"Little Shadow Girl is wise. ”

Lian Ge smiled, said a word, took the phone again, and walked forward,

Not far in front of you, there is a winding mountain road in the forest,

The trail is bare with patches of dirt, and the roots of the grass embedded in the mud are obviously often walked.

Along the somewhat winding mountain road in the forest, Lian Ge continued to walk forward while talking to Gu Xiaoying.

"Hmph, that's not it!"

With a proud face, he moved his head stretched out outside the quilt, Gu Xiaoying responded,

Lian Ge looked at Gu Xiaoying and couldn't help but smile.

“...... Lian Ge, man, say it, are you about to become an immortal? ”

Gu Xiaoying snorted and chirped, and said again,

"It's almost. ”

smiled, looked at Gu Xiaoying, and said in response.

“...... Master, I don't want to study medicine anymore!"

Gu Xiaoying wrapped herself in the quilt, rolled up, and said deliberately,

“...... Master, please bow down to the apprentices!"

Looking at Gu Xiaoying's appearance, Lian Ge couldn't help but smile again.

......

“...... Gu Xiaoying, your dad has a class in the morning, do you want to go to school with your dad. ”

“...... No, I don't have classes in the morning. ”

Outside the bedroom door, Gu's mother's shout came, Gu Xiaoying wrapped herself in the quilt, barely raised her head, and shouted to Gu's mother outside the door,

"I'm talking to your son-in-law on the phone. ”

“...... Where has Xiaoge gone now, is it still in the south? The weather over there has been humid and humid for the past two days, and Xiaoge, you often sleep outside, so be careful not to catch a cold...... Gu Xiaoying, what are you doing in a daze, you can tell me to help Xiaoge. ”

“...... It's time to wear thicker, the hospital has been crowded for the past two days. ”

Gu Hanguo's words sounded outside the door with Gu's mother,

“...... That Xiaoge, you can talk to Xiaoying...... Gu Xiaoying, if you want to eat, you'd better get up from bed within an hour, otherwise your noodles will become a batter......"

As he spoke, the footsteps of Gu's mother and Gu's father faded away outside the door.

Gu Xiaoying wrapped herself in the quilt and lay down on the bed again,

"Hmph, Lian Ge, your father-in-law and mother-in-law bullied me. ”

Listening to Gu Xiaoying's words, Lian Ge smiled and continued to follow the winding mountain road through the mountains and forests.

......

“...... Lian Ge, the old man painted on that painting, does it have anything to do with Lian Ge?"

I got tired of it for a while, and the topic was more serious. Stretching out a hand from the quilt, Gu Xiaoying held the mobile phone and asked out loud towards Lian Ge, with some curiosity on her face.

Lian Ge looked at Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the video call, listened to Gu Xiaoying's words, and continued to walk along the winding mountain road,

"Yes. ”

Turning his gaze and looking into the distance along the winding mountain road, Lian Ge answered at the same time.

A few days ago, after Lian Ge left the village, he continued to move forward along the road, into the uninhabited mountain forest.

I walked under the mountains and forests for a few days, crossed some mountains, and slept for a few nights before I came here.

"One of the fathers and fathers. ”

“...... How do you see it?"

On the other end of the video call, Gu Xiaoying sat up straight, looked at Lian Ge on the other end of the video call more and more curiously, and asked again.

"Feel it. ”

Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at Gu Xiaoying on the other end of the video call, smiled slightly, and responded,

"Oh......"

When Gu Xiaoying heard this, she nodded seriously and answered, and then she didn't ask any more questions, and was silent again.

"Cheap Song ......"

"Huh?"

"Is that 'Grip Talisman' really just going to make that old man's legs and feet less sharp?"

"Hearing the name, what comes to mind. ”

didn't answer, Lian Ge turned his gaze and asked out loud,

"'Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son'......'"

Gu Xiaoying responded first, followed by gradual silence, and understood,

"Does the old man know?"

"Yes. ”

Without turning his head, Lian Ge walked along the winding mountain road, and answered again.

Gu Xiaoying nodded, a little silent,

"But it's okay, at least none of them have to worry about ......"

Gu Xiaoying said again,

Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at Gu Xiaoying, and smiled slightly,

"If they were of the same mind, they could have more than four months. ”

Laughing and saying a word, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, didn't say anything more, and continued to walk along the winding mountain road.

......

"Sassy ......"

“...... What a wicked ...... That night scared me, I almost rolled straight down the mountain, and ran down here in a panic...... After I went back, I hurried to the temple to worship ......"

“...... You are all good, just a few nights ago, just one night after you, Chen Laosi also said that when he heard the movement, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran down the mountain...... As a result, I fell ill, and now I am still lying in bed, my face is pale, and I have a terrible cold......"

“...... It's better to go over there for the past two days, so as not to bump into anything...... Unclean stuff ......"

“...... Phew...... There are strange things, there are strange things, young people are not sensible......"

“...... Eh, there's somebody over there......"

Facing the winding mountain road, two younger, thirty-somethings men, and one in their fifties and sixties, carrying some cages and ropes in their hands, one of them holding a pheasant in his hand,

disturbing the side of the mountain road, the branches and leaves extending from the trees walked towards Lian Ge,

“...... Lad, lad...... Where are you from, you're not from this neighborhood, you're just a village around here. ”

The old man and the two middle-aged men carried some things and walked up to Lian Ge, the old man turned his somewhat cloudy gaze, looked at Lian Ge, spoke loudly, and asked,

"Passers-by, follow the road, pass by here, you can be regarded as tourists. ”

Putting the phone down temporarily, Lian Ge glanced at these people, and asked in a calm tone,

“...... Tourists, why did they come here? This ...... in the middle of nowhere."

The old man looked Lian Ge up and down, and then said out loud,

"Young man, you came up from the village at the bottom of the mountain, that's our village...... Young man, don't go forward, this road is full of deep mountains and old forests, there is nothing to see, and it is not safe. ”

“...... And, lately, ...... in this forest"

The old man said, his face a little hesitant.
