Chapter 13: Old Man Lanshi
The early morning breeze blew on the ridge road in the field, but Lin Yong did not feel a trace of comfort. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He is cold and hungry now, and after saying goodbye to Meng Xiaokui, he hurriedly ran out of the Beidouyan scenic spot, not to mention having breakfast and changing clothes, and he didn't even drink a drop of water. Just because that scenic spot is full of people, it is too dangerous, as long as he is recognized, with his state at the time, he will definitely not be able to escape.
The fields were deserted on this winter day, with piles of straw towering among them, and the road was full of potholes. But in terms of distance, it has greatly increased, and before he has walked a few kilometers, Lin Yong felt that he was a little prostrate, and Venus appeared in his eyes.
Let's walk back to the avenue! Lin Yong took off his bloodstained coat, put it on from the reverse side, and walked towards the avenue......
Walking through a forest, Lin Yong finally stepped on the solid concrete floor again, and before he took two steps, he saw a dilapidated blue pickup truck parked in front of him, and a thin old man was holding a wrench in his hand, looking anxious, and was circling around the pickup truck.
Lin Yong didn't pay attention to it, but turned his face away and bypassed him from the side.
Unexpectedly, the old man actually walked over to him, and called out in his mouth: "Young man~, wait! Lad! β
Lin Yong frowned, but turned around calmly: "What's the matter, uncle." β
In front of him is a fifty or sixty-year-old man, under the dark skin, the lean body is a little hunchbacked, a capable coarse cloth coat has been stained with the oil stain of the car, looking naΓ―ve and cute, only to hear him say: "Young man, I went to the town to catch up with the field and was about to go back to the village (the field is the market), this broken car can't catch fire, I tinkered with it for a long time and didn't get it right, just in the morning I was in a hurry to go without a mobile phone, please borrow the phone for me to use, we will return it to you after we use it!" β
After hearing this, Lin Yong looked at the small truck not far away, and felt a heartfelt sense of intimacy, this kind of car has one at home, and there are many of them in Qiaoxi Village. can not only pull goods, but also not afraid of bad roads, so there is a nickname called "through the road", looking at the old man's oil, Lin Yong suddenly remembered his father.
He opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, my phone is out of battery, so let's take a look at it for you, maybe it can be repaired!" β
The old man laughed: "That's good, that's good!" β
Come to the car.
Lin Yong didn't look at the car, and asked directly: "Did you fill up the gas?" β
The old man replied, "I only added it a few days ago, and there is still half of it." β
"Where's the water?"
"There is water, I was in a hurry to urinate halfway through the opening, and I went to release the water, and when I came back, I found that it couldn't catch fire." The old man blushed when he said this, and continued: "Is it a spark plug problem, Master Liu in our village always asks me to change the spark plug, and this is the fourth plug I have changed!" β
Lin Yong drilled into the cab and fired it, except for the sound of sizzling, he didn't even flash the dashboard, and then checked the headlights of the car, and found that there was no response. I knew right away what the problem was.
He jumped out of the cab: "Don't go to that Master Liu in the future, he cheated you, your car is a battery problem, is there a rag?" β
The old man looked surprised, and hurriedly replied, "Yes! Yes! As he spoke, he handed a rag from the car to Lin Yong.
Lin Yong opened the hood, took off the wiring of the battery cathode pile, wiped it vigorously on the pile head with a rag, and said while wiping: "This car has been five or six years old, right?" The mountains are already damp, in winter, the battery is the most prone to problems, you see this pile head, has a halogen (oxidation), you must wipe off this halogen to catch fire, if a little sandpaper or blade to deal with it, it would be better. After speaking, Lin Yong reconnected the wiring and pressed the hood.
Turn around and run into the cab and twist the key.
Boom~~~~
The car is on!
"Yo, it's on!" The old man smiled happily, and turned his head to Lin Yong and said, "Young man, thank you so much, you look at the road without the village and the back of the shop, if you don't come, I really don't know where to call someone." β
"It's okay, uncle! When you're away from home, you should be a helper. β
"Hehe, good boy! But I see that you are wounded, walking alone on this road, where are you going? The uncle asked with concern.
Lin Yong didn't know where he was going, so he simply used the same thing he told Meng Xiaokui: "I came out to travel, but I was a little injured in a fall." I'm going to go to the village in front of me......"
"The village ahead? Isn't that our Lanshi Village? How long will it take to walk to our village? The uncle's face sank.
"It's okay, I'll be there on foot." Lin Yong said with a smile.
"Come on, get in the car!" As soon as the uncle grabbed Lin Yong, he pushed him into the car.
"Wait, uncle...... I ......" This old man was extremely enthusiastic, and Lin Yong was pushed up somehow.
Boom~ "Through" let out a cheerful roar, and it drove into the distance so bumpy.
β¦β¦
An hour later, the pickup truck turned from the avenue to a tree-covered fork in the road, and it wasn't long before a small village with a rustic atmosphere was revealed.
As soon as the car turned around on the dirt slope in the village, it ran into a small tiled house, and as soon as the engine went out, the old man opened the door from the cab: "Hahahaha, young man, if you want to travel and experience the countryside, our Lanshi Village is the most suitable for you." Let's have lunch at our house! Old woman, old woman~~ Hurry! Cook more, we're here! β
As soon as Lin Yong got out of the car, he smelled a strong aroma of steamed dumplings.
A chubby woman with an apron came out of the small courtyard: "Who is coming!" β
The old man went up and said, "This is Xiaolin, my car broke down halfway, and I didn't bring my mobile phone, but fortunately, this little brother helped me fix the car." We don't know how to thank people and take them home for a light meal. β
"Yo, welcome, welcome, I don't have any dishes today, I got some steamed dumplings, I'll make a black rice paste later, with some home-cooked dishes, let's make do with it!"
Lin Yong swallowed his saliva, only to feel a drum in his stomach, and after hesitating, he blushed and said, "Then I'll go to the uncle's house for a meal, and then leave after eating!" β
The uncle took over the conversation: "Hehe, what are you talking about, where are you going?" I came back from the scene today and brought two catties of rabbit meat, and then I will open a bottle of wine after stewing, and you will accompany me to drink some! β
Lin Yong prevaricated: "Uncle, I don't know how to drink." β
The uncle laughed: "Drink it!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Wow! It smells so good! Lin Yong looked at a table of sumptuous meals and swallowed wildly, just waiting for the two old men to come to the table.
"You're welcome, eat, eat!" The old man picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat and put it in Lin Yong's bowl.
As soon as he saw the old man move his chopsticks, Lin Yong immediately pounced on the dishes in front of the table like a hungry tiger, and the eating appearance, grabbed two steamed dumplings with his left hand and sent them to his mouth, and stuffed the side dishes into his mouth with his right hand, and he was still gurgling and swallowing porridge in his mouth, only hating his parents for not giving him a big mouth, and it was comfortable to pack all the food on this table.
"Slow down, slow down!" The fat aunt looked at Lin Yong, who was gobbling up, with a smile, and took the next bowl of porridge for him.
β¦β¦
Ah~~ Cool! Touching his round belly, Lin Yong spread out on the chair.
The old man handed over a cigarette wrapped in himself: "Do you want to smoke, come one?" β
Lin Yong took the cigarette and wiped the match a little - smoke!
In the past two days, Yu Jie Quan spit out with this puff of smoke, and he only felt that he was fluttering, as if he had returned to his home in Qiaoxi Village, and he was indescribably comfortable.
The old man himself lit one, set up a cup on the table, poured two glasses of wine, turned his head, and suddenly showed a calm look on his originally smiling face, he looked at Lin Yong deeply, smiled and asked: "Tell me, young man, why are you alone on that road, and how are you injured......
Lin Yong looked at the old man in front of him, and suddenly had an urge to tell him everything, he needed to talk once, he needed an understanding! After thinking for a while, Lin Yong opened his mouth and said: "My name is not Lin Yong, my original name is Lin Xiaotong, and I ...... two days ago."
Lin Yong didn't say anything about reincarnation, but just confided in the old man in front of him what he had happened in reality for two days, and the two drank while talking, and when it came to the emotional place, Lin Yong couldn't help but burst into tears. The old man never interjected, but just listened quietly, and somehow the old man gave him the impression of a kind of wisdom and foolishness, which made him feel steady and safe.
When Lin Yong finally finished telling his story in the past two days, the old man patted Lin Yong's shoulder: "Xiaolin, there are many things in this life, and we can't choose when it comes, but when it goes, it's up to us to grasp it." It's easy to say that you have a clear conscience, but people never look at the guilt and don't look at where the heart is. In this world, if you don't eat people, people will eat you. The road in the future will only become more and more difficult, if you still use such a mentality to move forward, it will be difficult to move an inch. β
"But uncle, if I swallow a lot of things and sit idly by, what is the difference between being alive and being a beast?" Lin Yong said sadly.
The old man took a deep puff of his cigarette:
"Shouldn't we think about how to live as an animal first, and then how to live as a person?"
Lin Yong thought for a while and couldn't answer, just frowned and shook his head gently.
When the topic went deeper, the old man looked into the distance with deep eyes: "This reminds me of an old thing......"
"There was a battle that year, and a few of us recruits were caught by a gang of southern monkeys, and threw a bayonet in our midst, saying that only one could live. One of my comrades grabbed a bayonet and stabbed me! β
"And then?" Lin Yong said curiously.
"Hehe, what do you say, who's drinking with you now?" The old man drank all the wine in the wine glass with his head down, and on his thin arm, Lin Yong saw a scar moving hideously.
The old man asked, "What would you do if it were you?" β
Lin Yong thought for a while: "Pick up the bayonet, pretend to fight, get close to the monkey, and take it hostage." β
The old man's eyes lit up, and his gaze gradually became dull.
Lin Yong continued: "Uncle, goodness is not something I can do, what is goodness is something I can't help but do, I don't know anything else, but the problem is the monkey, he is stronger than you, you have no choice." β
After speaking, he turned his head and found that the old man was leaning back in the chair, and two lines of tears had already flowed from his cheeks.
