Chapter 82: People on the Journey (Ask for Collections and Monthly Passes!) )
The three members of the Tiandu family can be regarded as unhappy, just for one person, and that is Long Yang. At this time, Long Yang had already set foot on the place where his father was a soldier, not by car, but on foot.
Although Long Yang has come out of a series of things, he has not completely come out yet. Even an adult would not easily let go of his heavy heart, let alone fifteen-year-old Long Yang.
Long Yang only carried a package on his back and traveled lightly. He touched his chest, and he carried many important things in his arms, things that he could not leave from his body. There are jade canes, the upper and lower volumes of "Detective Minutes", and some childhood memories. This time, when he went out to find a place for his father to be a soldier, he had to rely on a small book, which was Long Shaoyun's discharge certificate.
Since Long Shaoyun disappeared inexplicably, Long Yang secretly kept his father's discharge certificate. Jin Qin searched several times but couldn't find it, and when he asked Long Yang, Long Yang shook his head and didn't speak. Jin Qin knows it in her heart, so she won't look for it anymore and let it become a child's thoughts! For countless nights, Long Yang took out his discharge certificate, looked at the photo on it seriously, and talked to the photo gently. Long Yang said the most: Dad, where have you been? Longyang misses you.
The discharge certificate records the number and address of Long Shaoyun's troops, which is also the destination of Long Yang. Wuwei City, 8121314 troops, position platoon commander. Before leaving, Longyang consulted that this Wuwei City is nearly a thousand kilometers away from Ping County. If Longyang walks 50 kilometers a day, it will take 20 days, and there can be no interval in between. Time is pressing, and Longyang needs to hurry up and travel day and night.
Longyang gave up taking transportation to Wuwei City in order to sharpen his body and mind, increase his life experience, and broaden his horizons. In the rush day and night, exercise the mind, let go of the burden, and let go of the mood.
Long Yang wanted to go to the place where his father was a soldier, on the one hand, he wanted to see the place where his father worked and lived, and learned about his father's life in the army; On the other hand, Longyang should stay away from Jincun Street and keep the people of Jincun away from danger.
Long Yang was worried about the people of Jin Village, and Ling Feng and the other three were worried about Long Yang. They didn't know the specific route and time of Long Yang's departure, and they couldn't imagine that Long Yang actually walked on the road.
From the moment he walked out of Pingxian, Longyang's heart had already belonged to nature, temporarily leaving behind all the sorrows, sorrows and doubts, and only he was on the road and on the journey.
Longyang did not choose wide avenues, and most of them chose small roads and short roads. There are some places that are inaccessible and the roads are difficult, but it is much easier for Long Yang, who gives full play to his advantages and walks on the bumpy road.
When you are thirsty, you drink water from the stream, and when you are hungry, you eat dry food or some game, Longyang completely avoids the life of the city, as if returning to Jin Village, back to life in the mountains.
The road is easy, but in fact, it is also difficult, and Longyang will also take the wrong road and deviate from the direction on the way. Therefore, in the following time, he would go to the nearby towns every two or three days, firstly, to replenish food, and secondly, to correct the route.
On this day, Longyang came to a small town, the town is not very rich, the area is not large, just on the road of Longyang. This time, there is no need to deliberately ask the town for directions, Long Yang thought to himself.
Entering the town, Long Yang noticed a strange phenomenon. The townspeople rarely show up and are wary of his arrival, following him wherever he goes.
Is there very little people in this town? Interested in the arrival of strangers? But the meaning in the eyes is wrong.
Long Yang saw an old man sitting in front of a room, and he decided to step forward and ask.
"Grandpa, what is this town called?"
"Where are you from? Why did you come here? The old man did not answer Long Yang's question, but asked Long Yang instead, which made Long Yang confused.
"My name is Longyang, I'm from Pingxian County, I'm going to Wuwei City, I'm just passing through here." Long Yang told the old man honestly.
"Oh, then you should get out of here." After the old man finished speaking, he no longer bothered with Long Yang, no matter how Long Yang asked, the old man no longer spoke.
Strange, what's going on?
Long Yang left the old man and continued to walk towards the town. The shops in the town are closed, not open for business, and most of the houses are closed, which is strange everywhere.
Seeing that it was getting late, Long Yang neither replenished food nor asked for directions, so he had no choice but to return the same way.
The old man was still sitting by the door and did not leave.
"Kid, why don't you leave!" The old man suddenly scolded Long Yang, startling Long Yang.
"It's getting late now, and I'm afraid I'm going the wrong way." No matter what kind of tone the old man said, Long Yang still replied politely.
"Then you come with me, don't mess around anymore." After the old man finished speaking, he carried the bench and walked into the house.
"Close the door." When Long Yang walked into the courtyard gate, the old man didn't look back and said another word.
"Oh." Although the old man is not like a wicked person, Long Yang is always vigilant, after all, this town is too weird.
When Long Yang closed the door and followed the old man to the house, Long Yang saw that there were two other people in the house. It was an old woman and a young child, and the two of them were a little trembling, as if they were very scared.
"Old man, why did you bring outsiders into your house?" The old woman said.
"It's okay, it's just a child, let him go tomorrow at dawn." The old man replied.
Long Yang didn't understand what was wrong with them, why were they so afraid of outsiders? Looking at the current situation, it is estimated that I can't ask why. Long Yang is patient and waits for changes.
The child was a boy of seven or eight years old, cowering, as if frightened. He leaned on the old woman, his hand grasping the placket of his clothes, and he never let go.
Dinner is porridge steamed buns, and the dish is pickles, and it can be seen that the old couple is having a hard time. The old man took out two eggs from the stove and gave one to his grandson and one to Longyang. Long Yang pushed and put it next to the little boy's bowl.
It's not the past, and ordinary people don't live so hard, is there any hardship here?
"Little brother, what about your parents?" After Long Yang finished eating, he deliberately asked the little boy at the table.
When the little boy heard Long Yang's question, he quickly hid behind his grandmother, revealing only one head with a very frightened expression.
"His parents work in other places and only come back once a year. After eating, you can rest and leave early tomorrow morning. The old man didn't give Long Yang a chance to inquire, and arranged for Long Yang to rest on the small bed in the house. The two of them slept in the same bed with the little boy and put the little boy in the innermost place.
It was late at night, and the two old men did not sleep, but only sat on the bed. Long Yang was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep.
"Will you come tonight?" The voice of the old woman trembled.
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense. The old man stopped his wife from talking, looked at Long Yang's bed, saw that Long Yang did not move, and then whispered.
"If I come again, I will fight for my life to protect my grandchildren."
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the little boy in the bed lovingly. The old woman on the side couldn't help crying and sobbing constantly.
"Weeping and mourning!" The old man scolded in a low voice, and the old woman immediately stopped sobbing, turned her face to the bed, and secretly wiped her tears.
"Hey!" The old man also let out a long sigh and shook his head.
The more they are like this, the more curious Long Yang becomes, although curiosity kills cats, everyone has curiosity.
The two old men didn't sleep until dawn all night, and Long Yang didn't sleep either, he wanted to know what made the two old men so frightened, so scared and worried.
But it backfired, nothing happened overnight, and Long Yangkong waited all night.
When it was dawn, the old man prepared some steamed buns for Long Yang, and then issued an eviction order.
Long Yang knew that he couldn't ask the result, so he had to take the steamed bun, thank you and leave.
"It's an honest child, the sooner you leave, the better." The old man looked at Long Yang's back, as if he was talking to the old woman next to him, and he was also talking to himself.
Although Long Yang left, he pretended to leave. He took refuge in the neighborhood and waited for the night to come. The old man took him in and prepared dry food for himself, and Longyang wanted to repay him for this kindness.
Looking at the town from outside the town, there is basically no one going out, it is bleak and desolate, and an ominous atmosphere is shrouded in the sky over the town.
Although the town is small, it is also a town, and it will not be so bad, and the people in the town are so timid and afraid of things, afraid of things like mice, they dare not go out! If you don't figure out the Tao inside, you can't solve the mystery of the town, so Long Yang decided to stay for a day and find the old man for accommodation at night to find out what happened.
When it was getting dark, Long Yang came to the old man's house again, and the old man was still sitting at the door, and he was very surprised to see Long Yang appear.
"Kid, why are you back again?!"
"I left this morning, and I found myself walking back here as I walked, so I came to trouble the old man again." Long Yang used the excuse of getting lost to dispel the old man's suspicions.
"Hey! Is it fate or your fate is not good, how can you return to our town again. The old man sighed, and his mouth kept chattering, Long Yang heard that there were no good words, but there was worry in his words.
"Grandpa, what's going on in this town? Why are you so afraid? Long Yang couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
"Don't ask, come in with me." The old man walked into the house with his stool as usual.
Long Yang hurriedly followed, and did not forget to close the door before entering.
Entering the house, Long Yang found the little boy from last night lying on the bed, trembling all over. The old woman kept comforting the child at the bedside, so that the child should not be afraid.
Maybe this child is to open the gap in the old man's heart, and Long Yang decided to give it a try on this child.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" Long Yang calmly stepped forward and asked patiently.
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid." The little boy shuddered as he spoke.
"Child, stay away from him, he is caused by heart palpitations, and he will get better slowly." The old man didn't pay too much attention to it, and said lightly.
"Grandpa, this is the end of the matter, can you tell me the reason?" Long Yang once again explored the secrets from the old man, hoping to get the result.
"Hey! Since you have turned around for a day and then come back to me, it means that we are destined, and I will tell you about it. After listening to it, I will treat it as if I have not heard it, and leave tomorrow. The old man repeatedly asked Long Yang to leave, and it seemed that there was still an unknown danger inside.
