In the col, on the top of every house in the village, some faint cooking smoke is rising, swaying slightly with the breeze, and then mixed with the clouds and mist overflowing from the mountains and forests on all sides.

On the village road, on the hillside ridge, you can still see some people walking around in the village.

Or they came to the mountains with hoes and baskets, or they rode out of the mountains with their children.

At the entrance of the village, you can see that in the yard of the house, the door has just been opened, and the yard is tidying up.

From time to time, with the breeze, there were some roosters and dogs barking at the bottom of the col, and the sound of human voices was mixed with the sound of swaying branches and leaves in the dense forest behind him.

“...... Let's go down, lad. ”

The old man straightened up, looked down the mountain, smiled, greeted again, carried the basket on his back, took the sickle, led the way, and walked down the mountain.

Turning his gaze back, Lian Ge glanced at the old man, and also moved his feet, along the ridge on the hillside, passing over the terraced fields where rape was planted or some seasonal vegetables, and walked with the old man to the bottom of the mountain.

......

“...... Old man, so early?"

The villagers who came up along the ridges on the edge of the terraces saw the old man and greeted the old man with a smile.

“...... I couldn't sleep, so I took advantage of this morning to come to the mountains to have a look and pick some herbs to go back. You're going to the field?"

The old man smiled and responded,

“...... By the way, go to the field and dig up some turnips. Old man, you better rest more, don't tire yourself out. Why don't you stand up again, old man? I'll dig up a few turnips? Old man, you can bring them down by the way, and if you can't carry it, old man, I'll help you carry it. ”

“...... It's okay, my old bones? Don't look old, old and useless? But you can still toss for a few years. I don't want the radish, I haven't eaten it yet, the son of the old Chen family gave it to me a few days ago. ”

“...... That's okay, then I'll give it to the old man in two days, and you can take some directly to the house...... By the way, who is this young man?"

The people in the village responded with a smile, turned their heads again, looked at Lian Ge on the side, and couldn't help asking,

“...... Tourists passing by met in the woods. Let him go down with me, and go to the village to rest and go out of the village later, and it will be easier to go anywhere on the main road. ”

The old man smiled, should he?

When the people in the village heard this, they smiled and nodded with Lian Ge?

Lian Ge smiled slightly, nodded, and didn't say much.

“...... Then old man, you are busy, I will go to the field first, and talk to you when I come back. ”

“...... Okay, you're busy, you're busy, I've got to go down the mountain. ”

When he said hello again, the villager walked up the hill with his hoe, and the old man led the way, turned around, and walked down to the foot of the mountain.

Glancing at the old man again, Lian Ge moved his feet again, and walked along the ridge with the old man to the foot of the mountain.

......

“...... Old man, this weather is cold, you will also hope to lower your body, if you want to lack any herbs, tell us, we will go to the mountains for the old man to dig for you. ”

“...... I'm used to it, I'm used to it, I want to go up the mountain if it's okay, and I don't want to trouble you. ”

“...... That's right, what's the trouble, old man, you didn't help us a lot......"

“...... Then old man, go slowly, I'll go first......"

Along the ridge on the hillside, I met some people in the village along the way, and they all greeted the old man.

The old man led the way, smiled and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Walking through the ridge at the edge of the terraced fields at the foot of the mountain, Lian Ge and the old man walked down the hillside and went down to the edge of the village in the col.

"The old gentleman is quite prestigious in the village?"

Lian Ge glanced at the old man beside him, turned his gaze, looked at the village in front of him, and said in a calm tone,

“...... What prestige is not prestige, that is, when I am older, the people in the village are more polite to me. ”

The old man smiled and answered again.

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge smiled slightly, and didn't say anything.

Leading the way, the old man walked further,

Moving his steps again, Lian Ge continued to walk towards the village with the old man.

......

“...... Excuse me, young man, to stand on your feet a little. I have something to do, a little delayed for a few minutes. ”

Passing by several houses at the foot of the mountain, the old man led the way with a basket on his back and walked onto the village road in this village.

On both sides of the road, there were houses next to each other, in front of which were either women tidying up the yards, or men who were busy preparing to go out, or children who had just gotten up, sleepy-eyed, dozing, standing by the door, and letting their mothers dress in thick clothes.

When many people in the village who were still far away saw the old man, they laughed and said hello.

The old man smiled and answered a few times, then turned around and said something to Lian Ge.

"The old man is good to take care of. ”

Turning his gaze, he looked at the village along the village road, retracted his gaze, Lian Ge smiled slightly, and responded.

The old man nodded again, moved his feet, and walked towards the courtyard of the next house.

It was an old tiled house, covered with black tiles, and the black tiles extended a little to the front of the house, blocking the eaves.

It's just that the few tiles on the top of the eaves are a little crooked, and they seem to be crumbling.

"Knock Knock ......"

“...... Is Liu Erwa in the house?"

When he reached under the eaves, the old man reached out and knocked on the closed, faded door, and shouted into the house.

“...... Ahem...... Ahem......"

Immediately after, there was a sound of movement in the room, mixed with muffled coughing.

“...... Old man...... Why are you here so early?"

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his thirties walked out, greeting the old man,

“...... Lao Liu is still coughing?"

The old man looked into the room and asked,

“...... Old Yu is here? cough cough ......."

The people in the house heard the movement and answered the sound outside, but they couldn't stop coughing.

“...... yes, still coughing......"

The middle-aged man replied and nodded.

The old man looked into the room again, turned around, put the sickle aside for the time being, and put down the basket he was carrying.

“...... You take these back, fry them for your dad in three times, put a bowl of water each time, make a little more heat, and when you boil until there is more than half a bowl of water left, you can serve it to your dad to drink. ”

As he spoke, the old man took the herbs he had picked on the mountain before, including the fine spice that Lian Ge had helped him find earlier.

“...... I've divided all these herbs for you, you can wash them again, wash them clean, and add water to decoction. ”

The old man shook off the soil on the herbs again, pinched the herbs, and handed them to the middle-aged man.

“...... Do you remember, old man? ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly took it, and said with some gratitude in his eyes,

“...... I'm old, and I'm not old and confused, and yesterday when I was in your yard, I heard your dad coughing on the edge of the yard. ”

The old man spoke, shaking his head,

“...... Thank you, thank you, old man, you stand for a while, I'll go get you money. ”

“...... What do I want you to do with your money, if you have money, you can keep it yourself. ”

The old man said again, and shook his head again,

“...... Your dad is also coughing all the time, and it's getting colder and colder every day in the past two days, so let him pay attention, don't blow the cold wind, and wear thicker, after all, he is also older. ”

“...... Thanks, old man, I know, I'll tell my dad...... By the way, old man, there was some bacon in the house before, old man, you can take a piece back. ”

“...... Just keep it for yourself and eat it, a few days ago, Xu Erwa sent a piece over, and she hasn't finished eating it yet. ”

The old man waved his hand again, picked up the half-empty basket, picked up the scythe, turned around, and walked out of the courtyard again.
