“...... Here, take a hand. ”

"Village Chief, don't you want to rest for a while?"

"I was lazy if I stole just now, so I don't need to. If you're tired, go sit on the shore for a while, and I'll dig your piece. ”

...... Outside the village, next to the original ditch, several young people from Xujia Village were standing in the river that had been excavated, digging forward.

Next to the canal, Lian Ge paused slightly and glanced at the few people who were digging in the river.

“...... Eh, sir, why did you come out and not walk around the village again?"

The village chief of Xujia Village, who looked up at the riverbank, saw Lian Ge and greeted him.

The rest of the people who were shoveling and hoeing the dirt couldn't help but raise their heads to look at Lian Ge, and the old man who was talking to Lian Ge before also recognized Lian Ge,

“...... Young man, are you leaving? Being able to go to the village is also fate, why don't you sit down anymore, have a meal in the village and then leave. ”

Hearing this, looking at a few people in the river, Lian Ge shook his head slightly, turned his gaze again, and looked behind a few people,

Behind a few people, the ditch that was dug out had stretched from the position of several people to the direction of Chenjia Village.

"You don't have to eat. Lian Ge retracted his gaze, looked at the few people who were busy, and smiled slightly,

After a pause, he looked at the village chief of Xujia Village,

"Village Chief Xu, this ditch has been dug for some time, right?"

"I've been digging for more than a month. The village chief of Xujia Village turned his head, glanced at the river that stretched to Chenjia Village behind him, and replied.

As he spoke, he dug a few more hoes in front of him, and the clods of earth were shoveled into the dustpan by another person next to him, and dragged out of the river by another person standing on the riverbank, carrying a rope tied to the handle of the dustpan.

The river is not very deep, probably just over the heads of a few people, and the width is just enough for two people to swing their hoes side by side at the same time.

Looking at the river in front of him and the people in the river, Lian Ge smiled slightly,

"Since you've been digging for so long, has Village Chief Xu considered digging deeper?"

"Sir, what do you mean?" The village chief of Xujia Village was a little puzzled when he heard this, paused the hoe in his hand, and raised his head to look at Lian Ge,

Lian Ge glanced at the village chief of Xujia Village and withdrew his gaze,

Casting his eyes on the hills near and far away, looking at the ups and downs of the terrain and mountains, and the changes in the earth's atmosphere, Lian Ge said in a calm tone,

"My ears are quite sensitive, and I can barely hear Village Chief Xu, there is water under your feet. ”

The voice fell,

In the river, on the riverbank, several people who were digging the river suddenly stopped their movements, looked at Lian Ge, and then turned their eyes to their village chief,

Four times, it was quiet in an instant.

Hearing this, the village chief of Xujia Village put down his hoe, looked at Lian Ge, and then looked at the few people around him, but he didn't speak for a while.

......

Lian Ge glanced at a few people in the river and didn't say anything more.

Retracting his gaze, he turned around, didn't stop any longer, and walked straight up the slope.

Behind

In the river, the village chief of Xujia Village first retained Lian Ge, but saw that Lian Ge did not stop.

Immediately afterward, the river was quiet again.

“...... Give it a try. ”

On the side, the old man who took the cigarette stick back in his hand retracted his gaze, looked at the village chief of Xujia Village and said.

"Then give it a try. ”

The village chief of Xujia Village nodded, picked up the hoe again, took a few steps back, waved the hoe, and dug down into the ground with a hoe.

The first hoe, like digging anywhere else, was still mud with little moisture.

Immediately afterwards, seeing that their village chief started to move, the rest of the young people also followed, holding hoes and shovels, and digging under the ground.

In just a few minutes, the bottom of the river was dug down again.

"Village Chief......

Seeing that there was no trace of water, several young people on the side couldn't help but set their eyes on the head of Xujia Village again.

"It's just that there's water, so easy to see. The village chief of Xujia Village did not stop the hoe and said, "Keep digging." ”

When several young people heard this, they picked up their hoes and shovels again,

Beside him, the old man put the cigarette stick in his mouth again and picked up the hoe.

Several hoes and shovels fell on the ground one after another.

Followed by

A stream of water broke through the last restraints on the ground, lifted the last layer of dirt, and gushed out of the hole at the bottom of the river that had been dug down again.

The rushed water poured several people in the river, making several people feel excited.

"There's water! there's water...... Hahaha!"

The first person to react looked at the jet of water gushing out of the pit and couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Immediately after, the rest of the people also cheered,

Biting the water-soaked cigarette stick, the old man also laughed,

"There's water...... There is water......"

The column of water gushing out from under the ground gradually grew larger, and the excavated river channel accumulated water and rushed downstream.

......

On the road between the two villages, listening to the cheers that came to his ears clearly with the mountain wind, Lian Ge smiled slightly,

"Let's go. ”

"Squeak, squeak!"

Without staying long, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked along the road in the direction he came.

Behind him, the two neighboring villages in the col drifted away with the cheers.

......

Along the winding mountain road, Lian Ge looked at the mountain scenery along the way, and walked unhurriedly.

The time has entered the afternoon, and the sun is gradually setting westward, approaching the horizon.

The swaying sunlight has been blocked by the hills beside the road, and the mountain wind passing through the mountains and forests has been dyed with a hint of coolness, swaying the shrubs and leaves between the mountains and forests, and at the same time, it has also disturbed the placket of Lian Ge's clothes.

As we continued to walk towards the outside of the mountains, the number of pedestrians who passed by from time to time gradually increased, and some people were seen on the side of the road again.

......

Stepping out of the stretching mountains, Lian Ge paused slightly at the fork before entering the stretching mountains,

And at this moment, a taxi stopped beside Lian Ge,

“...... Brother, let's go...... Eh, little brother, it's you. ”

The taxi driver he met before appeared in Lian Ge's sight,

"Little brother, I'm right, there's nothing interesting in that direction. The taxi driver poked his head out of the co-pilot and said to Lian Ge.

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the stretching mountain range, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything,

"Little brother, are you going to leave this time?"

"Let's go. ”

"Okay......" Hearing Lian Ge's reply, the taxi driver enthusiastically reached out and opened the back seat door.

retracted his gaze, didn't stop any longer, opened the door, and Lian Ge got into the car.

......

"Little brother, do you think you're going to the city or?"

"Go to the city. ”

"Okay......"

In response, the driver started the taxi, turned around, and drove in the direction of the city.

“...... Little brother, are you here to travel to Chang'an? Where do you think we are going to Chang'an City?"

While driving, the driver asked.

"Do you have any recommendations?"

Looking out the window and retracting his gaze, Lian Ge said calmly,

"If you want to come to Chang'an to travel, then you can go to more places, if you are in the urban area, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is good, that is the tower that Master Xuanzang came back to preside over the construction of the scriptures, and now there are two relics of Sakyamuni enshrined in the tower, but now at this point, I'm afraid it's about to close......"

"Let's go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Glancing at the driver, Lian Ge retracted his gaze and said calmly.

"That's fine. The driver answered.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak......"

At this moment, the little mouse squatting on Lian Ge's shoulder called twice.

"But ......" Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the mouse squatting on his shoulder, and couldn't help but smile, "Just park at any restaurant near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda." ”
