Half an hour later, Luo Yuan took a taxi to pick up Lin Feng. Lin Feng was a little surprised by this, because Luo Yuan had said that his family's conditions were not good, and he didn't expect him to take a taxi. This was a little different from Lin Feng's imagination, he thought that Luo Yuan would ride a battery car or something.

"Luo Yuan, why are you taking a taxi? What a waste of money! ”

Luo Yuan said: "It's not expensive, the taxi we have here is different from the one in your city, we only need ten yuan, and we can travel all over the city, regardless of mileage." Besides, you came all the way from afar, how could I treat you badly on such a cold day! ”

Lin Feng was greatly moved, Luo Yuan's heart was commendable. Although it is not a lot of money, it is also his living expenses for a whole day at school.

"By the way, Luo Yuan, don't you have to accompany your family to pay New Year's greetings today, just come out when you say it?"

Luo Yuan turned his head and smiled, "Actually, my parents are no longer there, and I am alone at home." ”

Lin Feng was shocked, and he instantly felt a little guilty, "Ah, I'm sorry, I don't know......"

Luo Yuan smiled: "It's okay, you don't have to care, I still have an uncle, their family treats me very well, they usually take care of me, it can be said that they raised me." In fact, their family conditions are not good, and in order to take care of me, life is also tight. Now that I'm in college, I can do some part-time jobs to earn money, which also reduces a lot of pressure on them. ”

Lin Feng said: "Then your uncle's family is not bad, you must repay them well after graduation!" ”

Luo Yuan said: "That's a must, I saved a little money during this time and invited their family of three to go to nearby attractions to play, for a total of two days and one night." So I'm only home tonight, and I'm a little bored, and I just happened to text you over, so I invited you over right away. ”

Lin Feng exclaimed: "You did the right thing, you know how to repay Entu, and you will become a great tool in the future!" ”

Luo Yuan smiled: "What you said is too exaggerated, my ability is not enough now, and it is just a rare return." It's a small attraction over there, and it only costs a few hundred dollars, and it's far from being reported. So I have to study hard in school so that I can find a good job in the future, so that they can also live a good life. ”

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the entrance of Luojia Village. It's a narrow road, the width of a car. There were a few dim street lamps on the side of the road, and it was barely enough to see the path into the village.

Luo Yuan walked in front and led the way, "In our small village, the road is also relatively poor, you should be careful." ”

Lin Feng didn't care, after all, he had Bodhi eyes, and he looked the same as in the daytime, "It's okay, I'll just follow you." ”

Halfway through, you can vaguely see the lights of some houses in front of you, which are basically two-story small houses, and even some small wooden bungalows.

"By the way, Luo Yuan, how many people are there in your village?"

Luo Yuan thought for a while, "I don't know the specific number of people, our Luojia Village is actually not small, there should be a few thousand people." ”

This is a bit beyond Lin Feng's imagination, he originally thought that such a remote and backward village would only have a few hundred people at most, but he didn't expect it to be ten times more.

"That's right

There are indeed a lot, and for remote villages, there are quite a lot. ”

At this time, Luo Yuan said: "It is said that our Luojia Village was still very famous in the past, and the scale was larger, but then I don't know the reason, and it suddenly declined. Now most of the young people have left here and gone to the big cities to develop, and basically only a group of old people still live here, perhaps because this is the place where they were born and grew old, and they are reluctant to leave. ”

Lin Feng thought that there were more people before, wouldn't it be more difficult to find, but fortunately there were fewer people now, and his heart relaxed. But when I heard that all the elderly people were here now, I suddenly felt tricky again, because Uncle Tong was an old man, so it was difficult to find. So he asked: "By the way, I'm a little curious, are all of your Luojia Village surnamed Luo?" ”

Luo Yuan smiled: "Of course not, this is the name of a village, how can the whole village have the same surname?" It's not antiquity! ”

Lin Feng actually knew about this result for a long time, and he just asked with a fluke mentality, "Then is there an old man surnamed Tong in your village?" How much is it? Or have any strange old people come to your village recently? ”

Luo Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he wondered, "Why do I think you are so strange?" Are you looking for someone? ”

Lin Feng thought that he still had to rely on Luo Yuan here, and he couldn't hide it from him, but he couldn't tell him everything, so he made up a reason, "Well, that's the case, this Uncle Tong is a distant relative of my family, I haven't seen him for many years, and I heard that he seems to be here some time ago." Since I'm here now, after all, I'm a relative, and I used to be very nice to me when I was a child, so I thought I'd stop by to see it. ”

Luo Yuan suddenly realized, "So that's the case, that's really a coincidence, you still have relatives living in our Luojia Village!" ”

Lin Feng said weakly: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect it before, and I only found out about it when my family talked about it in the past few days." I just came here today to drink the wedding wine, so I went to pay a New Year's greeting by the way. ”

Luo Yuan asked, "But don't you have any contact information?" Didn't have a phone either? ”

Lin Feng explained: "Because he has always lived alone, he has no other family, and he is too old to use communication tools such as telephones, so he can't get in touch. ”

Luo Yuan said: "Well, I understand. But it's getting late now, and the village is no better than you in the city, and we all go to bed early, and you see that many people have turned off the lights. Well, I'll ask you tomorrow morning, but I can't guarantee it! ”

Lin Feng said, "Okay, it's good that you can help!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yuan arrived in front of a house with Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, this is my home!" And then the one next to it is my uncle's house! ”

Lin Feng looked ahead first, and saw that it was a small two-story house with wooden windows and white walls, which looked a little dilapidated. And the area is not large, each floor is estimated to be about fifty or sixty square meters. The house of Uncle Luo Yuan's family next to it is even more desolate, Luo Yuan's house is still made of stone bricks at least at first glance, while the uncle's house is a set of wooden two-story cottages, and many places are a little damaged. Lin Feng even suspected that this was a dilapidated house, and he didn't know when it might collapse!

"Your uncle's house...... It seems a bit dangerous, so let's find a time to fix it! ”

Luo Yuan said: "The uncle's family are ordinary farmers, all of them are very honest, and they are just growing some food in the fields to be self-sufficient in this life. In the past, they had to spend extra money to support me, so the family was cut back on food and clothing, and life was tight, and there was no extra money at all. When I become an adult, it will be slightly better to work part-time to support the family. Later, I said it many times, but they were reluctant to spend that money, so they said that after so many years, it would be fine. It costs a lot of money to repair the house, and I plan to work two more jobs in the next year, hoping to fix it for them next year. ”

"As you can tell, my house is slightly better, and it was built by my parents when they were alive. At that time, I was too young to have any impression, but I heard from my uncle that my parents still had some skills when they were young and made some money, so they were able to renovate the wooden house early. They also funded the uncle at that time, so the uncle was very kind to me. I even mentioned asking my uncle's family to move in with me, but he refused. ”

It's really Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. The more Lin Feng listened, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, and some things had to be seen with his own eyes to feel them. Before, he knew that Luo Yuan's family was not good, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he still felt that he still underestimated this extent, especially his uncle's family. But what is commendable is Uncle Luo Yuan's heart and responsibility. As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, because of the little help of Luo Yuan's parents back then, he shouldered the burden of raising Luo Yuan after their death. Not only that, but he also refused to move to Luo Yuan's house, because it was actually equivalent to occupying Luo Yuan's house, and it would not be easy to move out later.

"I really admire your uncle's family, I don't think many people can do it like him. In this era, how many blood ties have become shattered in the face of money, he is really rare. ”

"High in the Sky"

Luo Yuan also said: "Yes, so I must repay him well, in a sense, he is just like my father!" ”

Lin Feng said: "Speaking of which, it is also the good cause planted by your parents back then, which led to your uncle's good fruits. But your parents should have been very powerful back then, and they were able to build such a house in Luojia Village in that era, which should have been relatively high-end at that time. ”

Luo Yuan said: "It seems to be, I don't know the specifics, and the uncle didn't say it in detail, it seems that the death of my parents is also a big blow to him." I also happened to meet him once drunk, and told me that my parents seemed to have had an accident and died young, but after he woke up, he refused to tell me in detail, and even got angry, which was the only time in his life that he was angry with me. ”

Lin Feng frowned, and found that things were not simple, "Strange, it stands to reason that if you are still young, you may be worried that you will not be able to accept it." But now that you're so old, there's no reason why you won't tell you the truth, you have the right to know everything about your parents! ”

"Unless...... What's hidden in this! ”

Luo Yuan was surprised: "No, I didn't think about it so much at all, I just thought that the uncle didn't want me to be sad, so I tried to avoid mentioning things related to my parents." ”

Lin Feng also felt that with his uncle's personality, there should be nothing to hide, but his approach always made Lin Feng feel a little strange. As Luo Yuan said, he shouldn't have been hiding it from Luo Yuan until now, unless there was something unspeakable.
