Chapter 182: Marriage and Funeral
Facing the night and the breeze with moisture, Lian Ge walked along the wet street and stepped out of this old street.
As the old streets and alleys behind him gradually move away, the noisy and bustling night scene of the city reappears in front of you.
The pedestrians in a hurry, the congested cars, and the lights of thousands of homes did not seem to be affected by the previous shower.
Passers-by, happy or sad, happy or sad, still walk towards their respective destinations.
It seems that in this bustle and bustle, the rain on the road surface should also dry faster.
......
Glancing at the bustling city, Lian Ge followed the road and continued to walk towards the front without hurrying.
"Squeak...... Squeak squeak. ”
The little mouse squatting on his shoulder seemed to see that the surroundings were lively again, and touched Lian Ge's neck with his forelimbs and screamed twice.
"I know you haven't eaten yet. Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the guinea pig, and couldn't help but smile and said,
"Let's go, I'll find you something to eat, how about noodles. ”
"Squeak. ”
Subsequently, the figures of one person and one mouse gradually drifted away.
......
The next morning, at the front desk of a hotel in a small town.
“...... Drop out. ”
Lian Ge handed the room card back to the front desk behind the counter,
"Sir, wait a minute. After taking the room card, the front desk said politely, and then operated it on the computer.
"Alright, sir, this is your deposit. The front desk stood up and handed a piece of cash to Lian Ge,
Taking it casually and nodding, Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the street outside the hotel, and asked casually
"Is this still the capital?"
"Sir, our town happens to be the edge of the capital city, and if you go west and cross the mountain, it will be the boundary of Jizhou Province. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, thanked him, and stepped out of the hotel.
......
Outside the hotel, Lian Ge paused slightly, walked until midnight last night, stepped out of the bustling city, chose a hotel at random, and rested for the night.
At this moment, the streets of this town in front of me seem a little deserted, or because of the topography and traffic, this small town adjacent to other provinces is not as prosperous and noisy as the town.
glanced at the hills that were faintly visible outside the town, and turned his eyes to look at the mice squatting on his shoulders,
"Let's go. ”
After saying that, Lian Ge moved his steps again and walked towards the outside of the town.
......
Along the way, the hills outside the town are getting closer, the prosperity of the town is getting farther away, and the buildings on both sides of the road are gradually becoming low and sparse.
While looking at the scenery and people along the way, Lian Ge walked unhurriedly, and the little mouse squatting on his shoulders also turned his head from time to time, looking around,
Over time,
The streets under your feet turn into roads, and the roads turn into suburban roads.
Eventually, leafy, grass-covered hills are in sight, and the suburban roads are transformed into winding mountain roads.
As we continue along the winding mountain road, pedestrians become sparse and quieter.
"Rustle...... Tweeted...... Goo ......"
The wind disturbs the branches and leaves of the trees standing on the hills, hiding in the shade of the trees, and the insects and birds that leap lightly make some chirping sounds from time to time, making the mountain path between the two hills or around the cliffs of the hills seem more and more quiet.
......
Time passed, from early morning to noon.
After rounding a hill covered with dense forests, several cultivated terraced rice fields appeared in front of me.
An old farmer is wearing a straw hat and holding a hoe, bent down on the terraces, planting vegetables.
Accidentally catching a glimpse of Lian Ge's figure on the road, the old farmer also turned around, propped his hand on the hoe, and glanced at Lian Ge a few times.
Glancing at the side of the road, up the mountain road, the terraced fields cultivated layer by layer, Lian Ge smiled slightly and continued to walk along the mountain road.
......
After the terraces appeared on the hills, the figures gradually increased on the winding and undulating roads.
The peasants passing by with farm tools and the women weeding in the fields by the roadside passed by Lian Ge, turned their eyes to look at Lian Ge, and then resumed their work.
Looking at the terraced fields and mountain roads in front of him, and looking at the hills in the distance, Lian Ge walked slowly without hurrying or slowing.
......
After a while, Lian Ge paused his steps again, and some noisy and noisy voices sounded faintly in Lian Ge's ears along the mountain wind,
“...... Bride, pick up the bride ......"
"You can't touch the ground with your feet...... The groom was stunned, why don't you hurry up and pick up your daughter-in-law? ”
The cheers of children, the joy of weddings, the voices of the master of ceremonies and the elderly.
Following the voice, Lian Ge turned around.
In front of him, there was a small path paved with stones that connected the road, just long enough to pass a car.
The trail stretches down from the side of the road where Lian Ge is standing at the moment, and at the end of the trail, there are all kinds of houses and buildings, which seem to be a village.
The cheers and joyful wedding sounds that Lian Ge heard before came from the front of a house at the entrance of the village.
In front of the house, there were a lot of people gathered, and there was a row of wedding cars, and the wedding was carried out in the sound of wedding music, which seemed a little lively.
After a slight pause, Lian Ge looked away, stood beside the road, overlooked, and glanced at the entire village.
At the same time as he heard the sound of the festive wedding just now, Lian Ge also vaguely heard the sound of mourning music coming from the village.
Even at this moment, the mourning and music mixed with the joyful sound of the wedding still seem harsh.
Looking at this village, after pausing slightly, Lian Ge moved his steps again, followed the path, and walked towards the village.
......
A moment later, at the end of the trail, at the entrance of the village.
Lian Ge paused again in front of the family that was holding a wedding,
On the side of the village road, in front of the house, in the open courtyard, there is a banquet table, and the guests attending the wedding have been seated.
It's just that when you look at it closely, this wedding is not as lively as it was when you look at it from a distance.
Except for some children who were coaxing, there was no smile on the faces of the older people, and many people even seemed to be watching coldly.
In the courtyard, on the rostrum, the wedding master of ceremonies struggled to stir up the atmosphere, but the wedding scene was still a little lukewarm.
There are even people who get up and leave without waiting for the wedding banquet to begin.
“...... The wedding ceremony between Mr. Chen and Ms. Liu is about to begin, and we look forward to the appearance of the beautiful bride and the handsome groom......"
“...... Now ask the father of our beautiful bride to the entrance of the wedding red carpet and wait for your daughter...... Our handsome bridegroom is also invited to the podium. ”
Glancing at the wedding scene and listening to the sound of the wedding, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked down the village road to the village.
Not far from the wedding site, on the side of the village road 100 meters away, there was also a banquet in the courtyard of a family, but it was mourning music and a mourning flag.
After a pause, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and walked towards the courtyard where the wedding was being held next to him.
......
On the side of the courtyard, there is a middle-aged couple, who seem to be the main family of the wedding and the parents of the newlyweds.
The two of them wore festive clothes and greeted some late guests.
The middle-aged man was a little silent, greeting the guests, smiling a little reluctantly, while the middle-aged woman was receiving the red envelope, the flowers and branches trembled, leaning forward and backward and laughing, and the corners of her eyes and face were laughing with folds.
"Passing by your land, I happened to meet Linglang's newlywed, I wonder if I was lucky enough to ask for a cup of wine?"
Lian Ge paused slightly, looked at the couple in front of him, and said loudly.
"Where does the gentleman say, the visitor is a guest, please come inside. Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled reluctantly at Lian Ge, and stretched out his hand to invite.
The woman next to the middle-aged man glanced at Lian Ge, and when she heard her husband's words, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and her face collapsed.
After the middle-aged man took Lian Ge to the courtyard for a few steps, he said in a weird manner behind him,
“...... Heh, this is just no one to eat and drink for nothing, and here is another one. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge paused and smiled.
