Chapter 243 - After the Rain
"I'm sorry to bother, young man, the things you made are very good, and they make people feel a lot warmer after eating." The old man walked out of the room with a smile.
Will also finished eating, although he didn't say a word, but Wei could feel that the old man was indeed enjoying it.
A calm and peaceful life is probably like that.
In the time after the rain, walking on the road, visiting Anlin, and occasionally talking a few words.
No sorrow, no joy, no hatred, no stupidity, just a faint enjoyment, but with a strong freehand.
Veil looked up at the window and looked out the window at the road, where the old man's figure came to the side of the road, where there was a small wooden cart.
There were a few bouquets of flowers on it, some offerings, and a little cleaning utensils.
The old man pushed the cart with great difficulty, and then the old man shook his head and turned and walked back.
"Young man, I'm really sorry, I have to trouble you with one more thing, my car is stuck in the mud, I can't push it, can you do me a favor?"
Weir knew that the old man really couldn't push, so he didn't refuse, stood up, and followed the old man to the main road.
There is a moist smell in the air, and in the vicinity of the woods, the birch forest that washes away the dust is full of colorful colors, and the leaves of the trees will fall on the road, and the plain air will be brilliantly decorated in the clear air.
The wind is blowing slightly near the winter moon, and if there is a Celsius temperature here, it should be around 20 degrees Celsius by now. Coupled with the humidity in the air, although it feels a little cold, it does not make people feel sad.
Veel came to the cart, and the wooden wheels and the two pillars behind them all sank into the soft earth.
Grabbing the handlebars, Wille lifted the car hard and pulled it out of the dirt. With some force on the wheels, the little wheelbarrow was pushed onto the main road.
"It's raining just now, old man, the road ahead is not easy to walk." Wei Er did not put down the car, but looked back at the old man, the car was not heavy, but for the old man behind him, it was not light.
Helping people to the end and sending the Buddha to the west, Weier decided to send the old man to the cemetery, anyway, there was nothing to do for a while, Weir decided to go around.
Birch Town is huge, much bigger than you might think.
The old man was pleasantly surprised, slightly stunned, and then smiled slightly, "Then I'll trouble you." ”
As he spoke, he pointed in a direction, and the two men pushed the cart and walked forward.
"You live here?"
"For the time being, it's not long since I arrived."
"At least later, with a good neighbor." The old man smiled and touched his beard, and walked on the road with a very strong pace.
"At your age, when you go out for a walk, it's best to take your family with you, and if something happens on the way, you can take care of it."
"Haha, you're right, right young man, what's your name, you can't let me always be called a young man."
"My name is Vere."
"Well, where is your hometown, Wiel?"
"Far away." Wille replied vaguely. "Who are you going to the cemetery to pay respects to?"
"My wife, she just passed away a year ago."
"It's a shame."
"Ha, there's no regret, we've spent so much time together, we should always be with her to the end."
The two of them stopped talking and said nothing more.
As we walked along the road, the gate of the cemetery gradually appeared in front of us, and Wille could see that there were quite a few people coming and going, including several soldiers of the patrol and some knights walking around.
"Something has happened here at the cemetery lately." The old man suddenly said, "Fortunately, these soldiers are here to protect me, so I can come here with peace of mind and accompany her, the family is afraid of being involved in any trouble, so they are reluctant to come here." ”
"Well, I've heard that it's not been quiet here lately."
"Weir, come in with me for a while." The old man looked at Weir, who looked at the cart in his hand and nodded.
With that, the two walked through the gate and came to the cemetery. In one of the places, Wille parked the cart there.
"The boy is in good health." The old man looked at Weier's relaxed appearance, and pushed it for such a long time, without rest, without pause, and pushed the cart here, without much sweat.
Ver smiled and didn't speak, but looked ahead at a rain-drenched, but clean tombstone.
"This is your wife?" Weir asked.
"You're right, it's my wife lying here."
"How can I help?"
"It's okay, I'll do the rest myself."
The old man took off the rag and broom from the car, wiped off the water stains on the tombstone, and then swept it next to the tombstone. Then, he took out the flowers from the car, held them in his hand, looked at the flowers in his hand, and then deeply missed the flowers in his hand and put them on the tombstone.
The old man took out two small stools from the car, handed one to Vere, sat down on the other, and let out a long breath.
"After all, I'm still old, so I still have to thank you a lot, otherwise I guess I won't be able to arrive until the evening, old man." The old man sat on a stool, facing the tombstone.
The old man sighed, "After such a life, although it is dull, it can be regarded as wonderful." ”
Instead of replying, Wiel took a stool and sat quietly on the side.
"This time, it is estimated that it will be the last time, and I can't walk." The old man paused and looked at Weir, "Weir, where is your family?" ”
"They...... They didn't come here with me. Weir thought for a moment.
The old man nodded, "It's good to come out and wander, but don't forget to go home and see more." ”
"By this time, the last person who can accompany you is your family and your lover."
"You can see that you have a good relationship."
"yes...... The relationship between the two of us is now in its 63rd year. "The old man seems to be stuck in a memory." When she first died, I couldn't believe it...... But after a long time, it will be better. ”
"Sixty-three years, finally see its last face...... Moreover, it is still against this cold tombstone. ”
"Condolences change, old sir."
"It's just talking, but it's nothing, after this time, I'm afraid I'm going to go with my children to the church kingdom in the north to spend my old age in peace." The old man said, shaking his head, "Birch Town is a good place, it's calm here, much better than some. …… And people are old, and they miss the old and are reluctant to leave this place. ”
"The children talked to me many times, and I said that when I showed my wife for another year, I would go with them...... I think she should be able to agree with me. As he spoke, the old man's eyes gradually moistened.
"When I was young, I always wanted to go on a rampage, but fortunately, I have achieved something, although I don't have any abundant wealth, but I can also make my children have a comfortable life......
"Although we settled here, the time we were able to spend with her was not long...... Fortunately, in her last days, she was always by her side, but after she died, she could only be alone here. …… I told the children that when I grew old, I had to bring back my bones. ”
"As long as you have her in your heart, she will always be there for you." Weir sat quietly and comforted the old man.
The old man wiped his eyes slightly, "Alas~ When people are old, they are easy to be sad...... Thank you, lad. You can accompany me, an old man, and listen to me talk about these things. ”
