Chapter 342: By the Sea

“...... I'm telling you, it's here, it's not a street stall, but I've been eating here since I was a child, and I can eat that taste here. ”

“...... Sir, let's take a look at the store. ”

"Rock sugar gourd, hawthorn-flavored old rock sugar gourd......"

“...... Dad, let's buy this one and go home...... Okay, the baby girl said to buy it, let's buy it......"

The sound of selling, the sound of words, mixed and intertwined, sounded in the ears, and faded away behind him.

......

“...... Ah, I'm going to be out of town any further. ”

All kinds of pedestrians swept by, one person and one rat along the road, gradually moving away.

......

“...... Tweet ......"

"Sassy ......"

“...... Young man, you go further along this road, and it is estimated that there will be a dozen more miles, and you will reach the seashore, and the sea is blue, and it is so beautiful. ”

A few days later, a winding mountain path is flanked by terraced rice paddies on the slope of the hillside.

An old man with dark skin, a straw hat, and a hoe pointed out the way to Lian Ge.

"Thank you, old man. ”

"You're welcome. ”

The old man waved his hand and spoke Mandarin with some dialect accents,

"But this mountain road is not easy to walk, it rained again the night before, this dirt road is sticky feet, you don't look at it for more than ten miles, you can't get there in a few hours after walking. Young man, you can also go down this road, from here, under the mountain is our village, go out of the village, go up the mountain, there is a road, although it is a little detoured, but the road is better to walk, every other hour, there is also a bus to pass. ”

When the old man finished speaking, he put his hand off the hoe handle,

"Thank you, old man. Lian Ge smiled and thanked him again.

"I said you're a descendant, why are you so polite? ”

The old man waved his hand again,

“...... Then you go slowly, I have to go to the field too. ”

As he spoke, the old man picked up his hoe and left along the ridge.

......

Watching the old man walk away, Lian Ge retracted his gaze,

"Let's go. ”

After saying that, Lian Ge moved his steps again, and continued to walk towards the mountain along the mountain road.

"Squeak, squeak. ”

The mouse squatted on Lian Ge's shoulder, stood on his forelimbs, and barked twice.

On the mountain road, a man and a rat are drifting away.

......

Along the winding mountain road, Lian Ge moved his steps,

The mountain path either winds around the mountainside or crosses the top of the hill,

On his side, or the jungle with dense leaves, or the terraced fields,

From time to time, disturbing the branches and leaves extending from the side of the mountain road, startling a few birds in the forest,

From time to time, you can still see farmers cultivating the terraces.

After a few descent and hillside, or bypassing, or turning over a few hills, passing one or two villages, the terraces leaning on the hills gradually decreased, and were replaced by jungles, and the breeze through the woods grew stronger.

With the breeze, you can still hear the roar of the waves crashing against the mountains.

......

Overhead, the sun gradually set westward, approaching the horizon, and the time was approaching evening.

The sunlight still shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the forest, towards the understory.

Along this somewhat damp mountain road, Lian Ge walked forward,

After turning over a mountain peak, the sound of the waves crashing against the mountain suddenly became clear,

In front of me, the mountains and forests are becoming more and more sparse, and the sea breeze with a fishy smell replaces the breeze in the forest, blowing through the mountains and forests from time to time.

Further, stepping on a clear dividing line, Lian Ge stepped out of the mountains and forests, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

......

“...... Wow...... Whoop ......"

Behind him, with the gust of sea breeze, swaying branches and leaves,

In front of him, there is a rugged cliff with bare rocks, and beyond the cliff, under it, is a tidal flat that stretches to the horizon on both sides.

In front of the tidal flats, there is the sea.

Waves were washing the tidal flats, crashing against the cliffs, scouring, stirring up bursts of waves, and making the hills tremble slightly.

There was no one on the shore in front of me, and on the tidal flats farther away, leaning against the shore, some sampan fishing boats and some fishermen seemed to be busy.

“...... Tweeted...... Tweet ......"

A few seabirds follow the waves, chasing the sunset that is close to the sea level.

The sunset, which has almost sunk into the sea level, reflects the sunset in the west, and sways the afterglow towards the sea.

In the afterglow, the sea reflects the sunset and the sunset.

......

Standing in front of the slightly trembling cliff, his clothes gently blown by the sea breeze, Lian Ge looked at the sea at sunset in the evening, paused slightly, turned around, and walked along the slope on the side of the hill towards the tidal flat under the side hill.

Descending along the hills, on one side is the sea against the sunset, lapping on the shore, and on the other side is the seaside, swaying with the breeze.

The sun was sinking into the sea, and only the sunset was still reflected in the west, and on the other side of the sky, the night gradually shrouded in, and the sky became dark.

Along the slope, Lian Ge walked down, watching, the mouse was also squatting on his shoulder, turning his head,

The sunset in the west faded, and a few bright stars in the night, with a slanting moon, took over, swaying some light on the sea.

The water seemed to become thicker, darker with the night, and some white could only be seen when it was lapping and splashing with some waves.

......

Lian Ge stepped down the hill and walked to the tidal flats far away from the sea, where the fishermen were either busy by the side of the boat, arranging their nets and collecting the harvest, or they were busy and tidying up, and turned their backs to the sea and went away.

After a slight pause, and then at the waves lapping on the shore, Lian Ge moved his steps and followed the fishermen towards the outside of the tidal flats.

“...... Hey, I caught a big deal today, and now the child will have living expenses this month. ”

“...... Lao Wu, what's the harvest today...... It's still done, it's all God's food. ”

"This fish won't be sold today, let's make a soup, my mother has a bad appetite for the past two days, drink soup to nourish ...... Yes, they all listen to you. ”

The sea breeze lingered on the shore, and the fishermen walked out of the tidal flats, talking,

The voice of the words rang in Lian Ge's ears with the gust of sea breeze.

Stepping out of the tidal flat, behind him, the turbulent sea water gradually drifted away, and in front of him, the terrain gradually rose.

Following these fishermen, after walking for a while, in the distance, a village lit up with lights appeared in front of them,

......

“...... Daddy's back, Daddy's back!"

"How's it going, today. ”

"The harvest was ok, a big fish was caught. ”

"Who asked you this!"

"Hey...... It's a little windy on the sea, but it's not windy on this sea, it's fine......"

"Daddy, this fish is so big...... There are a lot of fish, and there is a crab. ”

“...... Wait a minute, and let mom cook it for you, okay?"

"Good!"

At the entrance of the village, some children and women were waiting for their father and husband to return from the sea.

After seeing the people, the child struggled to help carry the bucket and walked home, the woman was talking to her husband, the man wiped the sweat on his dark face, and looked at his wife and children with a smile.

At the entrance of the village, some old people who were eating and chatting also looked at it with a smile.

......

After a slight pause, he glanced at the lively scene at the entrance of the village, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked at the village along the road that extended inward at the entrance of the village.

Along the road in the village, houses are scattered on both sides,

In the yards of many people's houses, some fishing nets are drying, and they are swaying with the sea breeze blowing in the distance.

Every house is lit up, reflecting the outside of the house, and the stars lit up in the night.

Glancing at the fishing village, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, moved his steps again, and walked towards the fishing village with these fishermen who were talking to each other and walking towards their homes.
