Chapter Forty-Eight: You're Back
On a country road surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is a white Land Rover.
"Ahead, that's my hometown." Xu Wenbiao drove the car, his eyes swept over the green mountains and green waters next to him, and said softly.
The fat cat nested in the passenger seat and said lazily: "Drive the Land Rover back to your hometown to worship your ancestors, are you sure there is no show-off in it?" ”
Xu Wenbiao smiled and didn't squeak.
Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.
Perhaps, it really has some meaning.
After a long conversation with the fat cat, Xu Wenbiao thought for a long time. From the beginning to the end, he never wanted to be a child of hope, let alone a savior of alien creatures. Xu Wenbiao felt that those were too far away from him, and they were like flowers in the mirror, which could be seen but not touched. However, Gu Mingming's illusion experience strengthened his determination to protect his partner.
He wants to be strong.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
If you want to survive in the Alien Realm, and even become a strong person, you must understand the Alien Realm, so he chatted with the fat cat for a long time, but these are far from enough, just like killing a pig, you look at a year, it is not as good as the effect of you operating it a few times by yourself.
So, Xu Wenbiao decided to walk around and experience all kinds of abilities in the world.
From the mouth of the fat cat, he has learned the cruelty of the alien world, and this life and death are unknown, Xu Wenbiao wants to pay respects to his grandfather's grave before he officially travels.
For Xu Wenbiao's decision, the fat cat is the place of support. Just proposed a Jianyi, and after paying homage to Xu Wenbiao's grandfather, he would first meet with the members of the Dawning Alliance.
The birthplace of the fat cat is in Yanjing, in order to find Xu Wenbiao came to Binhai City, Saihu and a few of them only met and joined the Dawning Alliance after he arrived in Binhai, and most of the other members are in Yanjing.
The white Land Rover turns right at an intersection and enters a dirt road that is not wide, with a stream to the right that connects to the river and a house to the left.
It's been more than five years since I left, and my hometown hasn't changed much, with rows of tiled houses and occasional mud houses.
A group of idlers play mahjong in a few circles, three or two old people sit in the shade of the trees to enjoy the shade, seven or eight children chase and play, with the Land Rover driving in, the chickens and ducks bark, and the dogs bark continuously.
Even though the times have developed and countless rural families have been lifted out of poverty and become rich, a Land Rover of more than one million years is driving on a country road, which still attracts everyone's attention.
Looking at the envious eyes of the villagers, Xu Wenbiao was a little emotional, and said to the fat cat: "Do you know what kind of eyes they looked at me a few years ago? ”
The villagers are still those villagers, and Xu Wenbiao is still the same Xu Wenbiao, but because he is sitting in the Land Rover, people look at him differently.
People, how can they be so superficial?!
The fat cat glanced out, "Do you know what they're thinking?" ”
"Is your mind-reading technique a cabbage picked up on the street?" Xu Wenbiao sneered: "What's the use of arresting, it's so worthless?" ”
The fat cat didn't refute him, but said with a smile, "What they think in their hearts is that this stupid comparison will fall into the ditch in a while." ”
……
Hate the rich! Chiguo is a land of hatred for the rich!
After turning the corner, there is a dirt slope more than ten meters long in front of you, and there are almost tile houses behind the dirt slope. Xu Wenbiao parked the car on the slope, pointed to a house with a willow tree in front of the door, with memories in his eyes, and said softly: "If you see that house, that is my former home." ”
The foundation of that house is very high, the whole house is a lot taller than the others, it is a four-room tiled house, the courtyard, the willow tree at the door should be some years old, it is estimated that one person can't hug it.
"That willow tree is said to have been planted by my grandfather when he was a child, and before I was born, it was once struck by lightning, leaving a deep pit the size of a basin on the trunk, and I don't know if I was disturbing the ground." Xu Wenbiao smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "But its vitality is really strong, so it survived, when I was a child, I often climbed up and sat in that pit, which was very fun." ”
"Is it fun?" The fat cat was a little speechless.
"You don't think it's funny, it's just because you don't understand the loneliness and sadness of a child without a playmate." Xu Wenbiao looked at the old willow tree and said softly: "In my heart, it is not only a willow tree, but also my playmate, and it is also a memory of my childhood." ”
"Why don't we go over and say hello to your memories?" The fat cat teased.
Xu Wenbiao didn't smile, "I will go to the mountain to sweep the grave first, and when I come back, I really have to stay here for a while." Somehow, I hadn't remembered the past in years, and as soon as I got back here, everything came to mind. ”
Deep in the mountains, there is a lonely grave. The grave was covered with withered grass.
Since leaving, Xu Wenbiao has not returned for five years. It's not that I don't want to sweep my grandfather's grave, but I don't want to be seen by the villagers that I am down.
Xu Wenbiao picked up the dry grass one by one, and the fat cat wanted to use a spell, but he stopped him.
He wanted to do it himself.
"Don't use the eye of the sky!" Xu Wenbiao said lightly, and the fat cat was stunned and looked at him.
"Lying here are my only relatives. I don't want to dope with anything else. ”
After listening to Xu Wenbiao's words, the fat cat stepped aside, curled up in a nest, and looked at Xu Wenbiao's eyes, with some emotion.
After weeding, Xu Wenbiao put on the tribute, poured his grandfather's favorite drink of the second pot of the earth, sprinkled a cup in front of the grave, drank a cup, and then poured it full, put it on the stone platform in front of the grave, knelt beside the grave, stroked the sand on the grave bag, and said softly: "Grandpa, the little biaozi is back, the little biaozi is back to see you." ”
The autumn wind swept by, and the dead grass rustled, like a grandfather laughing.
"Grandpa, you know what?" Xu Wenbiao was like a child, with an innocent smile on his face, and said softly: "Xiao Biaozi is not unlucky, Xiao Biaozi is rich, Xiao Biaozi has bought a car, and Xiao Biaozi has a group of brothers." No one will look down on Xiao Biaozi again, no one will bully Xiao Biaozi again, grandpa, you can rest assured, Xiao Biaozi is doing well now.
Grandpa, are you in heaven, how are you doing?
Grandpa, you have to take care of yourself when you're alone over there.
Grandpa, little Biaozi really misses you so much. ”
didn't cry, didn't shout, Xu Wenbiao just chatted with his grandfather quietly, as if his grandfather was beside him.
After a long time, Xu Wenbiao put the prepared silver ingots into the brazier, looked at the rising flames, knelt down and kowtowed three times, "Grandpa, Xiao Biaozi still has something, let's talk with you here today, and I'll talk to you next time." ”
Driving down the mountain, Xu Wenbiao's love has been very low, and he drove to the door of the old mansion, Xu Wenbiao sat in the car, looking at the closed gate and the willow tree next to him, for a long time.
Xu Wenbiao opened the door and got out of the car, walked to the willow tree, and reached out to catch the rough trunk.
This was once his home, here, there are memories of his past, here, there is his childhood.
Xu Wenbiao slowly pressed his face against the trunk of the tree, as if sticking to the old days.
Then, an old voice sounded in his heart, "You, you're back." ”
