Traveling Far Chapter 69 The Child's Eyes
South out of the cloud Mengze, Li Zhenlang all the way forward, originally he thought that it would be vast and boundless in all directions, not to mention flat and endless, then it can also be seen by water and wood.
But what he saw the most along the way was the winding and undulating mountains, in addition to the abundant vegetation around, the distance on both sides was like a dragon lying down, where there were any big rivers and rivers that were bustling, walking alone on the tree-lined path, and he couldn't meet anyone who could breathe, which made Li Zhenlang slightly disappointed for a moment.
But fortunately, the shade here is rich enough, and the autumn days can only shine sporadically, Li Zhenlang likes this atmosphere, the light is not bright or dark, soft with color, extremely eye-catching, so that his body and mind are relaxed and leisurely, he has never felt a trace of fatigue, the hair at the corners of his eyes is gently floating back, with the yellow leaves on the ground, more like a secular teenager who is going out to play.
But there was one thing that made him feel uncomfortable, that is, the cicadas that kept screaming in his ears, and some unknown creatures in estrus, for which he could only pout and smile helplessly.
Li Zhenlang's pace seems to be very slow, but at this moment, he is already dozens of miles away from Yunmengze, and this foot strength is not slower than the old horse in the stable of the restaurant, and the old horse, when the misfortune happened in the restaurant, disappeared, it can be said that life and death are uncertain, and there is no news.
Li Zhenlang felt that maybe he had run into the mountains, but it was okay, there were all the grass, trees and streams in the mountains, which could also reassure him.
Half a day away, unconsciously, Li Zhenlang finally saw a difference in front of his eyes, the roof in the distance, and the light smoke rising, he knew that where it was in the nearby town, Erhu had also been there, and now he also wanted to take a look.
The more he walked forward, the closer he got to the town, the more pedestrians passed by, and compared to the deserted road before, the atmosphere at this time made Li Zhenlang feel more happy, and felt that this was called anger, which made his heart feel much more stable.
Ahead, the half-hundred-year-old man with a sheep wood hairpin in a white flower bun holding a young grandson holding his hand, they walked and stopped, and listened to the old man tell the past and some stories, the immature children listened to it with relish at the same time, occasionally asked a few words of incomprehension in their hearts, and let the pedestrians who passed by them smile and say a few words.
This made Li Zhenlang unconsciously slow down, following behind the pair of grandchildren, and at the same time listening to the old man said slowly: "Our Shanhe Town, it is a boundary that no one cares about, the north is Yunmengze Mountain, and both sides are also mountains, leaning on a big river in the south, the people outside are not rare to come to us, what about us, it is not rare to go to them outside, at this time, for a long time, except for some businessmen, there are no outsiders, and they will not live for a long time, and they will leave again for three days." ”
The old man shook his head and waved his hand, and slowly turned his back behind him.
"Why doesn't anyone care? Isn't our Shanhe Town also the land of the Dayuan Emperor, why don't the people of the Dayuan Imperial Family care?" The child was surprised, looking up at the old man, although his eyes were bright, but with a touch of strangeness.
I heard the old man laugh and said: "That Dayuan royal family, I'm afraid I don't remember our Shanhe Town!" Grandpa is still like you when you are so old, I saw a poor person wearing an official hat and an official knife, they just came to measure the town and left, I heard people say, our Dayuan royal family is in the north, far away, like our mountain nest, the carriage and horses are also difficult to walk, the road is not easy to walk, want to come in, it is not easy, there are a lot of merchants, they come from the north, to us, they go to the east and west, the south is a big river, but it is wide or long, grandpa is so big I don't know what is on the other side of the river, grandpa was young, I also went to the river to fish, I thought, go to the other side to see, the result is to support the bamboo raft, a support is three daysIn the end, I couldn't hold it anymore, and in those three days, my grandfather drank water, I didn't eat a grain of rice, and I was hungry and could only lie on the bamboo raft. ”
The old man's words were full of vicissitudes, he slowly raised his head, the hand behind his back made a fist and slightly forced, as if he wanted to straighten the slightly curved figure, but in the end he slowly opened his palm.
Li Zhenlang looked at it in his eyes and sighed.
The child seemed to sense something, he secretly glanced behind the old man, frowned, and said, "That grandpa didn't starve to death, grandpa is really powerful!"
The old man laughed, living to this age, there is nothing more than being able to hear the praise of his grandson with his own ears, and he is happier than being able to hear the praise of his grandson, his thin hand holding the child tightened, and said slowly: "It's not that grandpa is powerful, it's that grandpa has met a powerful person, grandpa couldn't stand up at that time, where is there still strength to support the penny, that person...... At that time, he was as old as his grandfather now, but that man was so good that he could walk on the river, just like on this flat land, and the man got on his grandfather's bamboo raft, and he saw the bamboo raft swish...... Just like flying, the splash on both sides of the bamboo raft can't stop turning up, the wind in the ears, whirring, scary very much, after a while, it will be to our Shanhe Town, the man also said, said that grandpa is in the water, and he can't go into the water again in the future, after that, grandpa has not fished, and he has not even carried a bucket of water!"
Li Zhenlang tugged at the corners of his mouth, thinking it was quite interesting.
The child's heart flew when he listened, and he finally knew why his grandfather was called "water does not carry", because he used to listen to the old people in the town, and he often called grandpa not carrying water, which turned out to be the case.
"Grandpa committed water, so he told him not to carry water. The child nodded and said, "Where did the man go last?"
The old man hummed for a while and said, " I don't know, grandpa was too hungry at the time, as soon as he returned to our Shanhe Town, he didn't go home, he saw the dried fish dried by the river, and stuffed it into his mouth, and finally a few people on the riverside, seeing that grandpa was hungry like that, he sent a lot of food, and when grandpa finished eating, the man was gone, grandpa told them how powerful that person was, but they didn't believe it, not to say that grandpa is a ghost, evil spirit, but also let the old mother in the town come over, holding a stick in his hand, chattering around grandpa, grandpa ignored her, just stood up and went home, since then, the old mother has become a respected figure in our Shanhe Town, which makes grandpa can't figure it out, It's too sudden, and still grandpa can't figure it out, but, forget it, grandpa doesn't have the energy to think about this, as long as I can watch my grandchildren grow up safely, grandpa will be content, hey, grandpa said, do you believe it or not?"
Li Zhenlang smiled secretly, this old man made him feel that he was the kind of person who lived a very depressed life, and he was felt that there was something wrong with his head all his life, in fact, everyone has a bowl of water in their hearts, and they are clear.
Seeing that the child nodded heavily, he couldn't see the appearance on his face clearly, and he said: "Others don't believe in grandpa, Shouzhen believes!"
The old man smiled: "Well, this is my grandson!"
Li Zhenlang passed by the pair of grandchildren and glanced back curiously.
Seeing the kind smile on the old man's face, but the child's eyes made Li Zhenlang's heart tremble, and he was startled, and immediately turned around quickly and walked towards the town in front of him.
"Grandpa, did I scare him?" the child's wrinkled face and two black spots in his eyes made him stare at the young man with an umbrella walking briskly in front of him.
The old man hummed and said, "It's grandpa who scared him, Shouzhen, let's go home!"
The childish nodded, and while walking with the old man, he didn't speak again, but he felt a little uncomfortable, because of his own eyes, he grew up under the strange eyes of others since he was a child, not only did no one want to play with him, but also often scared others, which made the young child's mind more and more damaged.
Li Zhenlang walked forward, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, the child's eyes were something he had never seen, and he was thinking about it at the moment, what should it be a birth defect, but if he Li Zhenlang and the child looked at each other once, Li Zhenlang felt that he couldn't do it, even if he was prepared, but when he thought about those eyes, he still had palpitations.
