Walking out of the county school and standing under the eaves at the door, Xie Xiang took a deep breath of air. Looking back at the place where he had been for a few years, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his heart. I left this time, and even if I come back next time, I won't be a part of this place anymore. Maybe it's more that I won't be back here for the rest of my life.

I got into the carriage that had been booked earlier at the door, and greeted the handlebar style of the car. After putting the luggage away, Xie Xiang didn't say hello to anyone again, Linhuai County School, don't go.

The weather is clear and the wind is smooth. Out of the county gate, after a while, the carriage went to the path. Although Linhuai is a plain, the road is relatively flat, but some time ago it has been raining, the road is muddy, after the sun comes out today, the ground is half dry and not dry, but there is a bumpy taste.

Lift the curtains on the windows and look at the receding scenery outside. Xie Xiang only felt that the carriage was bumpy, and his heart and liver hurt. As a person who is accustomed to trains and planes, he had to silently light a row of candles for his future travel career. I have tried to find a way to absorb shocks, but unfortunately I am not a technician. As a giant in thought, Xie Xiang said that his actions were shorter than Snow White's dwarfs.

Thinking about things that I don't know when I am in the car is Xie Xiang's consistent hobby, and the road is unstable, and there is nothing to do. And if you think about it, you don't feel that the long journey is long.

The carriage occasionally weighed on the stones that appeared on the road, and was shaken off the other side. After a while, the stone was knocked again, and it was shaken back again. In this way, Xie Xiang felt that he was a large tumbler, and he was destroyed all the way, and he arrived at the gate of the village unconsciously.

The handlebar type parked the car at the entrance of the village and jumped neatly from the wheel. He made a gesture to the car: "Childe, it's time for you." ”

"......" Xie Xiang in the car was trying to calm down his feeling of wanting to vomit, and he couldn't answer for the time being. Knocking on the wall of the car is an answer.

After waiting outside the car for a while, Xie Xiang took a break, felt not so uncomfortable, and then hit the car door, and got down with one hand holding the car door.

Raising a smiling face, Xie Xiang arched his hand to the handlebar and said, "Thank you for your trouble." ”

When the handlebar style heard this, he quickly bowed and said, "Where is it, the son is polite." Now that you're on the ground, the villain will take off your luggage. ”

"Naturally, thank you." After Xie Xiang finished speaking, he looked at the handlebar style and got into the car, he stood next to the car and took the luggage, and then said goodbye to the handlebar style and went straight home.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the rivers around the village are gradually entering the flood season. With the rainy season some time ago, the water level of the river next to the main road is basically parallel to the river ridge. And when the carriage stopped at the main road, it turned into a small road leading to Xiejia Village. After walking for a while, I saw the lotus pond on the left side of the path, which is not a small pond. It is a place where villagers specialize in planting lotus flowers to harvest lotus seeds and lotus roots. The pond surface is covered with lotus leaves layer upon layer, although it is not the time when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, but a breeze blows, the green leaves are full of eyes, and they spread like waves, which is very beautiful.

On the right side of the road are connected fields, and in June and July, when the seedlings grow, there are large patches of green. Occasionally, you can see a few villagers who are bending down to weed in the field, and some villagers get up when they are tired, and when they see Xie Xiang, they quickly greet happily: "The Xie family doll is back!" ”

"Yes, cousin, you're still so healthy!"

"Oops, old! Old! The old man laughed and was blinded, sat down on the ridge, picked up the dry tobacco and knocked it, and replied loudly as he added tobacco leaves.

Xie Xiang felt very peaceful, and every time he returned to this small village where he had lived for many years. I always feel that I am very relaxed, and giving birth to him and raising him is called my hometown. Although this place is ...... It is not his real homeland, but the original homeland is not to be returned to death, so why not take this place where his relatives live and bury the bones of his loved ones as his hometown in this life.

Xiejia Village is still so peaceful, as if in the memory, those painful bloody memories are slowly blurred in people's hearts, as if they really never happened. But thinking about it, no matter what hardships they have experienced, as long as they give the simple people a chance to cultivate themselves and recuperate, it will not be long before the scene of yellow hair hanging down will reappear. The people are the strong grass in the field, even if the wildfire burns, as long as there is a hint of spring breeze blowing, it can return to the earth.

Slowly approached the place where there were people in the village, but Xie Xiang's family happened to live in the opposite direction of this side, so they had to go down this road. Descending a large slope, there is a small arch bridge, beyond which there is a large forest, and on the left, not far ahead, is the center of the village, and there is a sign there, which is the big banyan tree that is still standing in the sun.

The aerial roots of the banyan tree are still so developed, especially in summer, it is really lush. Xie Xiang walked to the banyan tree and stood in the shade, his eyes a little drifting. He couldn't help but look at the tree hole that had been completely covered after all the years, and his heart was in a trance. In the blink of an eye, after so many years, there was no news of that person except in the dream. And over the years, the swallows have come and gone, the flowers have bloomed, and even though the trees are still there, they are also things and people.

"Yo, this is the talented son of the Xie family! Why are you back today? It's not time to take a break yet! "Far away on the road behind the village came a man with a sturdy body, carrying a shovel on his shoulder, and his right hand was raised on it. At first glance, he is a good hand at growing crops. He stopped when he got closer, squinted his eyes, looked at Xie Xiang for a while, and then said slowly.

Interrupted from his thoughts, Xie Xiang retracted his gaze when he heard the sound. He turned to the rear. Raising his eyes and looking at it, he quickly put away the surprise in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile: "I happened to have something, so I rushed back." Today, Azhong, you didn't work in the Xie family. ”

The man in front of Xie Xiang, Xie Zhong, the Xie family worker, laughed: "What kind of work can I do in the Xie family now, now I can only touch a few more pennies in the field." But Xie Gongzi, don't leave anyone behind, run back! After saying that, he seemed to remember something, raised his left free hand and slapped it on the door of his head, and laughed a few times. Then he said: "Look at what I said, I'm a rough person, don't mind Gongzi Xie, I didn't do anything wrong, I'm afraid that some ghost will come to the door." Before the words fell, he didn't wait for Xie Xiang to say anything more, he turned around and left.

Watching Xie Zhong go farther and farther, Xie Xiang stood on the road a little inexplicably. Why is Xie Zhong's behavior so strange today, but this thought is also fleeting, anyway, he is about to leave, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to these trivial things.

I looked up slightly and looked at the direction of the sun, I was a little delayed on the road for a long time, and my father was in a hurry! Tightening the bookcase on his shoulder, Xie Xiang continued to walk home. The sun is dappled, the shadows are sparse and fragrant, mixed with a few crisp birds. After passing through the middle of the village, I walked along the avenue, and inadvertently, a green puff came into view. With a gust of breeze, the bamboo forest moved in unison, and the hula made a straight sound.

Xie Fuzi sat on the bamboo chair in front of the door, facing the intersection in front of the bamboo forest, shaking the folding fan slightly, closing his eyes and resting his mind. But after a while, he opened his eyes and looked forward for a while, and picked up the teacup on the ground beside him and took a small sip. Then he closed his eyes in disappointment. Before I knew it, I drank all the tea.

Xie Xiang carried the bookcase on his back and walked home step by step. Facing the swaying of the bamboo forest, I turned an intersection, and the first thing I saw was Xie Fuzi's full head of white hair refracted in the sun.

At this moment, an indescribable sadness surged into Xie Xiang's heart, making his nose a little sour. My father is just a year of confusion this year, but he is already full of silver hair. My mother went early, and I couldn't wait to measure this strange world. He was the only one left to guard this house that carried all the memories, and this bamboo forest that was always as crisp as in his memory. These are the reasons for urging him to be born early!

Standing at the intersection, looking at his father who was lying on a bamboo chair with his eyes closed leisurely, Xie Xiang took a deep breath, and then put a smile on his face. shouted loudly: "Dad! ”

Xie Fuzi has been lying down for a long time, but he is really half-asleep and half-awake, and he seems to have heard something in a trance. Think about it again, alas, isn't it the voice of your own son! Thinking of this, he quickly opened his eyes. Sure enough, I saw Xie Xiang standing in front with a bookcase on his back, and when he looked closely, he was sweating.

Xie Xiang walked to the bamboo chair and saw that his father first answered unconsciously, and then slowly opened his eyes as if he remembered something. He held back his laughter, knowing that he must have fallen asleep, and waited with a smile for Xie Fuzi to react.

Xie Fuzi lay on the chair and beckoned to Xie Xiang with his hand, Xie Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then leaned his head towards Xie Fuzi.

"Smack!"

"Oh, Dad, why are you beating me?"

Xie Fuzi withdrew the hand that had just knocked on his son's head, beat his waist, stood up and said, "If you don't beat you, you won't have a long memory." ”

Xie Xiang was a little aggrieved, and touched the head of the beaten one: "What's wrong with me?" ”

Xie Fuzi walked into the house, and said as he entered the door: "How many times has your mother told you that you have breathable clothes when you are in a hurry." It's not you who is sweating and getting sick and uncomfortable, every time it's like you didn't hear it, you owe a lesson! ”

Xie Xiang followed behind and pouted, and entered the courtyard, the path at home has been around for some years, and some of the earlier bluestone slabs have broken edges, and some have been broken from the middle. Some weeds and moss are popping up one after another. Although Xie Fuzi has been taking care of it, it may be that it is not popular, and inadvertently, after a rain, they all come out again.

The original flower beds in front of the hall are still there, but the hostess who took care of them with her own hands in the past few days has long since left the world. Before, Xie Xiang was afraid that his father would see things and think about people, so he had recently thought about leveling the flower beds and letting them follow their masters to another world. But unexpectedly, it was still very sad and in a trance, and Xie Fuzi stopped him.
