"Goodbye. ”

Long Peng waved his hand at the car that drove out of the village, put the cigarette lit for him by the unknown car owner in his hand into his mouth, took a hard puff, and spit out a long puff of white smoke, and then looked down at his own situation.

In order to push the car stuck in the mud puddle, he paid a heavy price, the white sneakers were completely covered with mud, the front of the cropped slacks was similar to the shoes, and even the T-shirt was mostly polluted, sticking to his body piece by piece, and it was uncomfortable and brought continuous coolness.

"Nice image. ”

Long Peng threw away the cigarette butt, took out his mobile phone, didn't wipe the mud on his face, looked up and took a selfie at a forty-five-degree angle, then picked up the backpack on the roadside stone, hummed "learn from the best example", Shi Shiran walked towards the village.

Shortly after the heavy rain, the village road was full of puddles, and it was obvious that it was already in disrepair.

The village road is about three meters large, and on both sides are the green seedlings that have been headed, and the fragrance is particularly clear in the air after the rain.

"What a great place. ”

Long Peng looked around at the undulating green hills not far on both sides, and let out a long breath again: "Finally back." ”

There are some houses on the side of the road, the heavy rain has stopped, and some people have already come out for activities, and they are very surprised to see the embarrassed Long Peng, and they can't help but laugh and shout: "Man, have you fallen into the mud? Do you want to come and flush, there is well water here." ”

"Thank you. ”

Long Peng waved his hand very chicly: "It's a rare highlight moment, you have to keep it for a long time." ”

............

Ten minutes later......

"Why is it so far away?!"

Long Peng Peng looked at the location in the map on his mobile phone and couldn't help complaining: "The village roads are so long, and this village is too big." ”

His memory of this place is still stuck almost twenty years ago, except for the village road and a few huge ancient trees that have not changed, he can hardly find the Yangtian Village in his memory.

What's more, he didn't come in on foot at that time.

But who told the township buses here to only stop at the entrance of the village?

But as long as the path doesn't change, he can find his roots.

The ancestral house of the Long family.

It was Mayday, and summer had been in full swing for more than a month, and the sun overhead had dried the mud on his body, not to mention how uncomfortable the stuffiness and stickiness were.

There were more than a dozen two- or three-story buildings on both sides of the road ahead, Long Peng scanned it casually, and sure enough, he found a grocery store, walked quickly to the door and shouted, "Boss, come to a bottle of water." ”

In addition to the discomfort on the body, the throat is really thirsty.

The grocery store is not small, in addition to a row of glass cabinets and a few shelves, there is a long wooden chair on the wall, five or six people are shouting and laughing around a mahjong table, and the strong smell of tobacco hits the dragon's surging nostrils in the whirring of two ceiling fans.

Hearing the dragon's surging roar, everyone stopped their movements and turned their heads to look.

"Poof~"

A thin black uncle who had just poured water into his mouth couldn't help it at all, and he opened his mouth and squirted out, and in an instant, chickens and dogs jumped and asked his father and scolded his mother.

"Tut-tut......"

In the midst of the chaos and laughter, the middle-aged woman closest to the counter took a bottle of mineral water from the display freezer and handed it over: "Hou Shengzi, there are not many people like you who play so big." ”

"Not really. ”

Long Peng unscrewed the lid and poured a mouthful, only then he laughed angrily: "There are fewer people who have the courage to play like me." ”

Seeing his shameless bullish appearance, the middle-aged woman snorted, didn't bother to pay attention to him, pointed to the QR code on the door frame and said, "Two yuan." ”

After scanning the code and paying, Long Peng was about to continue pouring water, when a crisp voice came from behind: "Why are you so embarrassed? ”

Long Peng was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see a woman wearing a gorgeous yellow Bosmia printed long dress standing behind her, her long ponytail hair fluttering, although her face was plain and her skin was a little wheat-colored, it was also bright enough to make people's eyes shine.

"Yao Zhishu ......"

The people in the room shouted and greeted.

"Everybody continue. ”

The woman waved her hand and continued to look at Long Peng with a little curiosity: "Which village are you from?

At this time, Long Peng had short hair, a tall and handsome face, and a bit of a scumbag beard, full of masculinity.

He looks embarrassed, but his skin is fair, and he has the temperament of an urban elite standing there, even if his face is a little melancholy, it is obviously a little out of place with his surroundings.

"I'm from the village. ”

Long Peng smiled, didn't say much, tightened the backpack on his shoulder, and continued to look for his ancestral house.

Looking at his back, the woman blinked her clear eyes, turned her head to the room and asked, "Sister Li, is there such a person in the upper village?"

"I haven't seen it. ”

Sister Li, the proprietress who brought water to Long Peng, shook her head: "Such a big handsome guy, not to mention Shangcun, it is the entire Dayangtian, as long as it appears once, I will know." ”

"Sister Li's second spring is coming. ”

The woman smiled at the proprietress and looked at the others at the mahjong table.

Everyone shook their heads in unison: "I haven't seen it." ”

The woman turned her head again to look at Long Peng's back as she walked away, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Is it here to visit relatives?"

The upper village is in the middle of the village road, along a slope road more than 30 meters long.

Shangcun is named because of the high terrain, only a small part of Yangtian Village, located in the middle of the mountain, there are more than 100 families living together, surrounded by a large area of mountains and semi-terraced fields, can see the village entrance and the continuous distant mountains, the view of the scenery is good.

After more than ten or twenty years of hard work, many people in Shangcun have built new houses around, but the location of the Long family's ancestral house is still conspicuous.

"It's beautiful!"

Long Peng was standing in front of his ancestral house at this time, looking up at the scene in front of him, full of amazement.

The ancestral house is a two-storey double-eaves mansion with a front length of more than 40 meters, an all-blue brick structure, the white lime line between the bricks and bricks is still clearly recognizable, the walls are gray and black, and there is a pure wood balcony on the second floor, which is full of historical mottling under the blowing of the years.

Since Long Peng's grandfather and his family left, the mansion has been maintained, and it has been cleaned for many years, so it does not seem to be in any dilapidation.

If it weren't for the fact that the person who originally defended it passed away two years ago, it would have been even more refreshed.

As a result of two or three years of lack of maintenance, wisteria flowers climbed all over the walls and roofs, and clusters of dark purple lilac flowers hung down from the upper and lower eaves, and the faint fragrance of flowers permeated.

Even though the sun is fierce, Long Peng still has the romantic feeling of being in the Garden of Eden.

Stepping on the grass drilled out of the cracks in the big green bricks on the ground, Long Peng stepped into the corridor and came to the door, looked at the large wooden door without any traces of decay, and then put his hands on the door knocker and pushed it inward hard.

The cool breeze mixed with musty smell blows out, and the scene of the large guest hall unfolds in front of you.

Except for the photo of the great-grandfather and great-grandmother hanging in the central hall facing the main door, the large living hall is empty.

Long Peng sighed lightly, he remembered that when he came back when he was a child, there was a complete set of Eight Immortal Table Taishi chairs inside, as well as a few matching low stools.

It was made by my great-grandfather with a famous craftsman and was very valuable.

Looking at the bedrooms and the back hall on both sides, sure enough, except for the urine tank and the door, there are no four walls left.

Long Peng didn't bother to go upstairs to check, and went to the kitchen at the back of the mansion to take a look, the stove was still there, and there were two big iron pots in it, as for the old-fashioned wall-built cupboard......

Except for a few large piles of cockroach droppings, not a single bowl can be found.

Shrugging his shoulders, Long Peng walked to the patio to see that the water in the storage tank was still clean, and directly stripped naked and jumped down, taking a hearty wash.

At the end, Long Peng put his head on the edge of the pool, looked at the leisurely white clouds in the sky, and spit out the remaining depression in one breath: "That's it, calm down for a while." ”
