“...... Stay longer, young man, so that we can thank you well......"

“...... yes, boy, why don't you stay a few more days......"

The next morning, by the yard in front of the house,

The old lady who was being supported, and several of the old lady's children, looked at Lian Ge and kept it.

"Thank you, don't bother. ”

Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, her children, and the old man standing beside her, this family, smiled slightly, and said loudly,

“...... Don't bother, don't bother...... Then you can stay until noon, and then you can have lunch before you go. ”

The middle-aged man hugged his mother, said loudly, and looked a little farther away,

“...... The fog is so big at this time, and the road is not very easy to walk, young man, you stay until noon, and then go after the fog clears. ”

A thick fog rose in the mountains, and the slightest mist gathered, and then overflowed, lingering among the hills and forests not far away, and then permeating the villages in this col.

Glancing at the trace of mist lingering on his side, Lian Ge turned his gaze again, looked at this family, and shook his head slightly,

“...... I'll drive you, boy. Seeing this, the eldest son on the side said again,

"Don't bother. ”

Lian Ge said again, turned around, moved his steps, and stepped out of the courtyard,

“...... Then, boy, you go slowly......"

The old lady's family first followed, walked a few steps outside the courtyard, and then stopped one after another, and shouted at Lian Ge,

“...... Mom, let's go back...... It's getting cold outside......"

After standing for a while, watching Lian Ge walk away, the old lady's family turned around one after another and walked back to the house.

......

Along the village road, Lian Ge walked forward,

The old lady's family was behind her, and they gradually moved away.

Along the ramp, and then on the road that coiled or crossed the mountains, Lian Ge continued to walk,

A man and a mouse gradually drifted away, and the village gradually moved away behind him.

......

"Tweet ......"

A trace of mist, with some breeze, lingered on Lian Ge's side,

Along the side of the road, Lian Ge walked forward,

On the road beside him, cars drove by from time to time, bringing up some fog and then spilling again.

Beyond the road, on the hills, among the mountains and forests, some birds hide behind the thick fog, and from time to time they let out some chirps.

The dense fog had no effect on Lian Ge's vision,

As he walked, Lian Ge looked at the mountains under the thick fog.

On the shoulder, the mouse also stands on its forelimbs, turns its head, looks into the distance, and looks around.

......

“...... Tick ......"

The rising sun shines through the dense fog and shines some sunlight into the mountains and forests.

The morning sun gradually climbed towards the sky, and the dense fog in the mountains and forests gradually dispersed, turning into some dew, attached to the branches and leaves, and then slapped the slightly lower shrubs and grass leaves, dripping on the ground under the forest.

Pedestrians carrying baskets and plastic bags, I don't know whether they were wet with sweat or dew, swept past Lian Ge's side from time to time and went everywhere.

Looking at the distance, among the mountains, with the gust of breeze, or overflowing, or gathering lingering clouds, but also looking at the pedestrians who walk by from time to time, one person and one mouse walking forward.

A child sitting in a basket, carried by his mother, tilted his head, stretched out his hands, and mist, and reached out to grasp it, curious, looking,

An old man, carrying a plastic bag on his shoulder and a wet straw hat, leaned forward.

From time to time a few cars pass by, and from time to time a few pedestrians pass by.

Looking, Lian Ge moved forward.

......

“...... Consider, think about a fart. I think you really think that your master and I have a long life, and you think that I have lived enough. ”

“...... What I'm telling you is this, in our business, it doesn't matter if you have real skills or not, what matters is that you have a few pounds and taels yourself, and you have to count in your own heart. ”

“...... You're also in your fifties, why can't you figure out these things...... No matter how much money people give, you have to have a life to spend it......"

A somewhat old voice came from far and near,

An old man in cotton clothes, about eighty or ninety years old, followed by a middle-aged man in his fifties, who looked close to his sixties, like an old farmer.

The old man seemed to be a little angry, and as he walked, he lectured to the old peasant-like man, who followed, bowing his head and being silent.

The voice of the words approached, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked there,

It was the old Taoist priest who presided over the funeral of the old lady's house and his apprentice.

“...... And let me think about it, think about what, think about whether I've lived enough, I want to find ...... dead"

The old Taoist priest was a little angry, and said to his apprentice,

“...... It's not that you don't know about that thing, you don't know, you dare to touch such evil things......"

After scolding again, the old Taoist priest looked at his apprentice and paused again,

“...... Have you been short of money lately, and you are in a hurry to use it. ”

“...... My granddaughter is sick and has to spend a lot of money......"

With his head down, the man who looked like an old farmer spoke, and then fell silent again,

“...... Then you tell Lao Tzu directly, Lao Tzu is just an apprentice like you, and you don't even have a son......"

When the old Taoist priest heard his apprentice's words, he became even more angry,

He gasped for breath two more times before he continued to speak,

“...... I'll come with me to get ...... later."

......

The pair of master and apprentice swept past Lian Ge's side, and then moved away behind Lian Ge,

The voice faded away.

Turning his gaze back, Lian Ge looked into the distance again,

Along this winding mountain road,

The dense fog has dissipated a lot, but in the distance, there is still some fog in the mountains and forests.

Looking at the distance again, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked forward.

......

"Sassy ......"

The sun climbed into the sky, and shone some sunlight on the winding mountain road, among the leafy forests,

On the side of the road, the mist that permeated the mountains and forests dissipated more and more.

The dappled sunlight shines through the branches and leaves, swaying under the forest, and the breeze blows through the forest, swaying the dappled branches and leaves.

Stepping on the mountain road, the shade of the branches and leaves stretched out on the hill, and Lian Ge walked forward.

When the sun began to slope westward, the road under his feet became more and more winding, gradually turning from a road paved with cement to a mountain road paved with rocks and stones.

Stepping on this mountain road, and walking again, Lian Ge stopped again.

......

On the side of the mountain road, leaning against the hill next to the mountain road, a winding path appears in front of you.

It seems to be a man-made path, stretching from the foot of the hill in front of it to the top of the hill.

Turning around and moving away, Lian Ge walked along the winding path and then to the top of the hill.

Walking to the top of the hill, in front of you is a continuous dense forest, this winding path, along the continuous hills,

It's just that it seems that this understory, winding path, is not often walked, and it is a little faint.

After a slight pause, he looked forward along the winding path, and Lian Ge moved his steps again and walked forward along the winding path.

......

The branches in front of him kept parting, and Lian Ge walked forward,

It seems that the foliage around the body is becoming denser, and the mist that has dissipated outside the forest is getting further and richer.

After crossing a few more hills, in front of Lian Ge, the branches and leaves of the trees gradually thinned out, and then stepped on a clear dividing line,

Suddenly the eyes are bright.

In front of him, there is a valley, and Lian Ge is on the top of a mountain peak on the edge of the valley.

Down the hillside, at the bottom of the valley, is a village,

On the village, there is a fog shrouded in a thick fog, and under the fog, the houses are lit up and scattered, and the fog is disturbed by the breeze at any time, and it appears from time to time.
