"Sassy ......"

"Nourishing ......"

The breeze swept down some fallen leaves in the distant mountain forest, gently shaking the branches and leaves of the trees.

The fallen leaves fluttered with the breeze and fell to the ground, gently brushing the ground, making some rustling sounds,

The branches and leaves swayed, intermingling with the dappled sunlight under the branches and leaves, and a few drops of dew on the tips of the branches and leaves,

In the back of the courtyard, the sound of the spatula and the bottom of the pot touching is mixed with the sound of vegetables entering the oil pot, and the aroma of some food lingers in the house through the gap under the door.

In the house,

Lian Ge listened to the sound of falling leaves, opened his eyes, and woke up from his sleep.

“...... Squeak, squeak, squeak......"

Lian Ge got up from the bed, curled up on the side, the mouse lying on his stomach followed, and then jumped onto Lian Ge's shoulder,

Standing on his forelegs, the mouse sniffed the aroma that lingered outside the house and barked twice,

Glancing at the guinea pig, Lian Ge turned his gaze, opened the bedroom door, and walked out of the room.

......

“...... ......"

In the backyard, the old lady was standing in the kitchen and in front of the stove with a wooden handle with a spatula on her back, stir-frying the dishes in the pot.

The old man sat by the stove, with some vegetables in front of him, folding the vegetables, looking at the fire in the stove, and talking to his wife from time to time.

In the hall, on the table, there were already several plates of dishes, stir-fried dishes on plates, roasted dishes in large bowls, and two plates of cold dishes.

“...... Tiles on the roof, I'll find someone to rummage through it later......"

“...... The weather has been cold for the past two days, and yesterday for Sister Shen's happy event, her children sealed a red envelope, and when it was empty, we went to the town to go around and buy two more thick clothes......"

“...... Okay, I'll follow you then......"

“...... Good. ”

......

“...... Real person, you're awake. ”

Noticing Lian Ge in the hall, the old man and the old lady turned their heads one after another,

The old lady smiled and greeted Lian Ge.

The old man put down the vegetable he was holding in his hand, stood up, wiped his hands, and dusted off the vegetable leaves on his body again.

"Real person, there's hot water in the kettle, and here's a new hairband, unused. I'll pour out the hot water for you, so wash your face with hot water, it's more comfortable. ”

Laughing, the old man greeted loudly,

“...... Real person, you sit down again, there are two more dishes here, and you can eat them when they are fried. ”

Listening to the words of the two old men, and looking at the two old men who were busy in the kitchen, Lian Ge turned his gaze again, and looked into the distance through the open door of the hall next to him,

The morning sun is just rising, swaying some sunlight on the ground, lingering in the clouds and mist between the distant mountain peaks, with the breeze, with the morning sun, gradually melting, the branches are luxuriant, and the shade under the grass and trees and hills is overgrown, covering half of the village in this col, and it is slowly fading towards the mountain.

Facing the sun, behind Lian Ge, on the ground, the shadow of a person and a mouse was also reflected.

On his shoulder, the mouse also stood on its forelimbs, looking into the distance.

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge turned his gaze back.

......

“...... Real people are welcome, just eat whatever you want, after eating, there are still some in these pots, and you can still do it if you don't have enough. ”

“...... I haven't cooked for so long, and I don't know what it tastes like, so don't dislike it,"

“...... Real people can take care of themselves, and they can ...... whatever they want to eat."

“...... Real people try it and see if it suits the taste. ”

Two more bowls of dishes were brought to the table, and Lian Ge and the two old men sat down at the table.

Sitting beside Lian Ge, the old man and the old lady greeted warmly and spoke,

Looking at this table full of dishes, looking at this overly rich breakfast, and looking at the old man's expectant gaze,

Lian Ge smiled slightly, didn't say anything, took the chopsticks and sandwiched the chopsticks dish, and tasted it.

"Old lady, your craftsmanship is quite good. ”

Facing the expectant eyes of the two old men, Lian Ge said with a smile,

“...... It's good to taste, it's good to taste. ”

Laughing, the old lady said aloud,

"Real people don't dislike it. ”

After saying that, the old lady turned her head again, looked at the white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, smiled, stood up again, and walked towards the kitchen again.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge glanced at the guinea pig,

The mouse was standing on his forelegs, looking at a plate of dishes on the table, his eyes motionless, greedy, and his eyes were dumbfounded.

Turning his gaze back, Lian Ge smiled slightly.

......

“...... The...... Little spirit animal. ”

And at this moment, the old lady staggered a little again, and walked out of the kitchen with a somewhat large plate.

The plate contains some of the dishes on the table, and portions are served on the plate.

The mouse turned his head, his eyes motionless again, and looked at the plate,

“...... I hope you don't dislike this order. ”

Holding the plate, the old lady said, placing it on the table.

The mouse's forelimbs stood up more and more, and his eyes remained motionless, looking at the plate.

Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked at the mouse again,

Immediately after, the guinea pig suddenly jumped off Lian Ge's shoulder, turned into a white line, appeared on the side of the somewhat large plate, surrounded the side of the plate, and fought again against the dishes on the plate.

......

“...... Real people, these are some of the superficial methods that our ancestors have passed down. ”

After eating for a while,

Lian Ge put down his chopsticks, and the mice fighting around the plate on the side eliminated the food on the plate that was much larger than its body, and with a round belly, he rushed back to Lian Ge's shoulders and lay on his stomach.

The old man also put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the side, and picked up a somewhat brand-new booklet from the shrine.

The booklet has no cover, some raw edges, but some needles and threads on one side of the edge are neatly sewn, it seems that the old man himself cut out the booklet,

“...... In addition to some notes passed down from my ancestors, there are only some things left that have been passed down orally from generation to generation, and I have copied everything on those notes, and I have also written down those things that have been passed down by word of mouth. ”

The old man took the booklet, walked back, handed it to Lian Ge, and said at the same time,

“...... There are still some spells on the notes, but if they lose their inheritance, they can't cultivate their mana, and those spells will lose their effect. Word of mouth is just some rural methods that don't require any mana, and they are superficial. ”

Lian Ge listened and took the booklet handed over by the old man,

"I wrote down those spells in the front, and those superficial methods in the back. ”

Lian Ge listened, spread out the booklet, and looked at it briefly,

The handwriting on the booklet is not too dry, and it is still a little wet.

After flipping through the contents of the first few pages of the booklet, Lian Ge paused slightly, and then briefly flipped through it to close the booklet again.

"I hope these things can have some effect on real people. ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

thanked him, Lian Ge didn't say anything, the hand holding the book flipped over, and the book disappeared in his hand and was put away by Lian Ge.

"It's because we owe it to you. ”

The old man shook his head and spoke again.

“...... Now that we're down to business, let's get on with dinner...... Real person, there is still some soup in the pot, I'll go and serve you a bowl of soup. ”

The old lady next to her said with a smile.

"Thank you, no need. ”

After saying a word, Lian Ge stood up again,

"It's over, I've eaten the meal, it's time to go. ”

“...... Sit down, sit down, stay with us for a few more days, and thank you so much...... Then let's skip lunch and leave. ”

The old lady followed, stood up, and hurriedly said,

Lian Ge shook his head slightly,

“...... That...... Don't dare to delay the real person's itinerary anymore...... It's just that when the real person passes through our village next time, I still hope that the real person will come and sit again......"

The old man next to him hesitated and said loudly.

"Definitely. ”

Looking at these two old men, Lian Ge had a smile on his face,

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the painting hanging on the wall in the back of the hall again, and looked at the old man lying on the painting.

Lian Ge withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked towards the outside of the hall.
