The early morning breeze blew on the ridge road in the field, but Lin Yong did not feel a trace of comfort.

He is now cold and hungry, after saying goodbye to Meng Xiaokui, the crowded scenic spot is too crowded, just waiting for the car to set off will take at least a morning, it is too dangerous, as long as he is recognized, with his state at the time, he will definitely not be able to escape, with this idle effort, he has quietly touched the next village.

Hurriedly ran out of the Beidouyan scenic spot, except for a bottle of glucose poured in the infirmary in the morning, let alone a breakfast and a change of clothes, he didn't even drink a drop of water.

The fields were deserted on this winter day, with piles of straw towering among them, and the road was full of potholes. But in terms of distance, it has greatly increased the difficulty, and before he has walked a few kilometers, Lin Yong felt that he was a little prostrate, and Venus appeared in his eyes.

Lin Yong took off his bloodstained coat, put it on from the reverse side, and walked towards the avenue......

Walking through a forest, Lin Yong finally took the risk and stepped on the solid concrete floor, and before he took two steps, he saw a dilapidated blue pickup truck parked in front of him, and a thin old man was holding a wrench in his hand, looking anxious, and was circling around the pickup truck.

Lin Yong didn't pay attention to it, but turned his face away and bypassed him from the side.

Unexpectedly, the old man actually walked over to him, and called out in his mouth: "Young man~, wait! young man!"

Lin Yong frowned, but still turned around calmly: "What's the matter, uncle." ”

In front of him was an old man of fifty or sixty years old, under his dark skin, his lean body was a little hunchbacked, and his capable coarse cloth coat was already stained with the oil of the car, and he looked naïve and cute.

"Young man, I went to the town to catch up and was about to go back to the village (the field is the market), this broken car can't catch fire, I tinkered with it for a long time and didn't get it right, I just left in a hurry in the morning without a mobile phone, please borrow a phone for me to use, we will return it to you after we use it!"

After hearing this, Lin Yong looked at the small truck not far away, and felt a heartfelt sense of intimacy, this kind of car has one at home, and there are many of them in Qiaodong and Qiaoxi villages. can not only pull goods, but also not afraid of bad roads, so there is a nickname called "through the road", looking at the old man's oil, Lin Yong suddenly remembered his father.

He opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, my phone is out of battery." "I'm ready to go.

The uncle's face was disappointed, there was no shop in front of the village on this road, and he really couldn't stand the cold wind blowing at this age.

However, Lin Yong took a few steps and settled, and suddenly turned around and said:

"But I also have a bit of an impression of this kind of car, if you don't dislike it, I'll help you see what the problem is!"

The old man immediately laughed: "That's good, that's good!"

The two came to the car.

Lin Yong didn't look at the car either, and asked directly, "Did you fill up the gas?"

The old man replied, "I only added it a few days ago, and there is still half of it." ”

"Where's the water?"

"There is water, I was in a hurry to urinate halfway through the drive, and I went to release the water, and when I came back, I found that it couldn't catch fire. The old man blushed when he said this, and continued: "Is it a spark plug problem, Master Liu in our village always asks me to change the spark plug, and this is the fourth plug I have changed!"

Lin Yong drilled into the cab and fired it, except for the sound of sizzling, he didn't even flash the dashboard, and then checked the headlights of the car, and found that there was no response. I knew right away what the problem was.

He jumped out of the cab: "Don't go to that Master Liu in the future, he cheated you, your car is probably a problem with the battery, is there a rag?"

The old man looked surprised, and hurriedly replied, "Yes! Yes!" As he spoke, he handed a rag from the car to Lin Yong.

Lin Yong opened the hood, took off the wiring of the battery's positive pole pile, wiped it vigorously on the pile head with a rag, and said while wiping: "This car has been five or six years, right? After speaking, Lin Yong reconnected the wiring and pressed the hood.

Turn around and run into the cab and twist the key.

Boom~~~~

The car is on!

"It's on!" The old man smiled happily as he turned his head to Lin Yong and said:

"Thank you so much, young man, if you don't come, I really don't know where to call someone!"

Lin Yong waved his hand: "It's okay uncle! ”

"Hehe, but I see that you are injured and walking alone on this road, where are you going?" the uncle asked with concern.

Lin Yong simply used the same set as Meng Xiaokui said: "I came out for a trip, but I was injured a little bit." I'm going to go to the village in front of me......"

"Isn't that the village in front of you? Isn't that our Lanshi Village? According to your footsteps, it will take several hours!" the uncle's face sank.

"It's okay, I'll be there on foot. Lin Yong said with a smile.

"Come, get in the car!" the uncle grabbed Lin Yong and pushed him into the car.

"Wait, uncle...... I ......" This old man was extremely enthusiastic, and Lin Yong was pushed up somehow.

Rumble~

"Piercing" let out a cheerful roar, and it drove off into the distance with such a bump.

......

Half an hour later, the pickup truck turned from the avenue to a tree-lined fork in the road, and it wasn't long before a small village with a rustic atmosphere was revealed.

As soon as the car turned off on the dirt slope in the village, it entered a small tiled house, and as soon as the engine turned off, the old man came out of the driver's cab: "Hahahaha, young man, I haven't heard of tourism to the countryside, but if you want to experience life, our Lanshi Village is the most suitable for you." Let's just eat lunch at our house!Old woman, old woman~~ Quick!Cook more, we're a guest!"

As soon as Lin Yong got out of the car, he smelled a strong aroma of steamed dumplings.

A chubby woman with an apron came out of the courtyard: "Who's coming!"

The old man went up and said, "This is Xiaolin, my car broke down halfway, and I didn't bring my mobile phone, but fortunately, this little brother helped me fix the car." We don't know how to thank people and take them home for a light meal. ”

"Yo, welcome, welcome, there are no dishes today, I got some steamed dumplings, I'll make a bud rice paste later, with some home-cooked food, let's make do with it!"

Lin Yong swallowed his saliva, only felt a drum in his stomach screaming, and after hesitating again and again, he thought that this old man and old lady must not be a bad heart, and said with a red face:

"Then I'll have a meal at my uncle's house, and I'll leave after eating!"

The uncle took over the conversation: "Hehe, that's great, I can bring half a rabbit when I come back today, and I will stew a bottle of wine later, and you will accompany me to drink some!"

Lin Yong prevaricated: "Uncle, I don't know how to drink." ”

The uncle laughed: "That's better!

............

"Wow! it's so fragrant!" Lin Yong looked at a table of sumptuous meals and swallowed wildly, just waiting for the two old men to serve on the table.

"You're welcome, eat, eat!" The old man picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of rabbit meat and put it in Lin Yong's bowl.

As soon as he saw the old man move his chopsticks, Lin Yong immediately pounced on the dishes in front of the table like a hungry tiger, and the eating appearance, grabbed two steamed dumplings with his left hand and sent them to his mouth, and stuffed the side dishes into his mouth with his right hand, and he was still gurgling and swallowing porridge in his mouth, only hating his parents for not giving him a big mouth, and it was comfortable to pack all the food on this table.

"Slow down, slow down!" The fat aunt looked at Lin Yong who was gobbling up with a smile and took the next bowl of porridge for him.

......

Ah~~ Cool! Touching his round belly, Lin Yong spread out on the chair.

The old man handed over a cigarette wrapped in himself: "Do you want to smoke, come one?"

Lin Yong took the cigarette and wiped the match a little - smote!

The depression of the past two days was all exhaled with this puff of smoke, and I only felt that I was fluttering, as if I had returned to my warm little bed, and I couldn't say how comfortable I was.

The old man himself lit one, set up a cup on the table, poured two glasses of wine, turned his head, and suddenly showed a calm look on his originally smiling face, he looked at Lin Yong deeply, and asked with a smile: "Look, a meal is all about me, but young man, the old man, my brain is blunt, but people can't be stupid, you are alone on the road, and you are injured, you must ...... There is a story. ”

Lin Yong looked at the old man in front of him, and actually had an urge to tell him everything, after thinking for a while, Lin Yong opened his mouth and said: "Let me tell you, a friend of mine, his name is Yu Ji Tong......"

Lin Yong didn't say anything about reincarnation, but just confided in the old man in front of him from a different angle what he had encountered in reality for two days. The old man never interjected, but just listened quietly, and somehow the old man gave him the impression of a kind of wisdom and foolishness, which made him feel steady and safe.

When Lin Yong finally finished telling the story of the past two days, the old man patted Lin Yong on the shoulder: "Xiaolin, there are many things in this life, and we have no choice when it comes, but when it goes, it is up to us to grasp it." It's easy to say that you have a clear conscience, but people never look at the guilt and don't look at where the heart is. In this world, if you don't eat people, people will eat you. The road in the future will only become more and more difficult, if you follow the mentality in your story, it will be difficult to move an inch. ”

"But uncle, if you swallow a lot of things and sit idly by, what's the difference between being alive and being a beast?" Lin Yong said sadly.

The old man took a deep puff of his cigarette:

"Shouldn't we think about how to live as an animal first, and then how to live as a person?"

Lin Yong thought for a while and couldn't answer, just frowned and shook his head gently.

When the topic went deeper, the old man looked into the distance with deep eyes: "This reminds me of an old thing......"

"There was a battle that year, and a few of us recruits were caught by a group of southern monkeys, threw a bayonet in our midst, and said that only one of us could live. One of my comrades grabbed a bayonet and stabbed me!"

"What about later?" Lin Yong said curiously.

"Hehe, what do you say, who is drinking with you now?" The old man drank the wine in the wine glass with his head sullen alone, and on his thin arm, Lin Yong saw a scar moving hideously.

The old man asked, "If it were you, what would you do if your brother who shared life and death stabbed you with a knife?"

Lin Yong thought for a while: "I don't know, maybe, it's also killing." ”

"So, if I were to be as serious as you, as long as I had the slightest hesitation about him at that time, I would have died a long time ago!"

Lin Yong was almost brought in, thought for a while and said, "Uncle, there is something wrong with your statement." In the past two days, I have come to understand a truth, that is, the problem is not at all in your serious confession. Man's mind is always free. Isn't it true that both of you want to live?"

"I hesitated, will things be better? What do you think is the problem?"

"I said it very straightforwardly, don't mind, uncle, the problem is...... You're too weak! Those southern monkeys are strong! So you're chosen by them, and you and your brother are also a truth, you're stronger than him, so he dies. Aren't all the desires in this world just these two words? strong and weak. According to you, those monkeys were the big winners, but it had nothing to do with whether they were good or not or not! They won because they had a gun against your head! They weren't even as good as animals, right?"

As soon as he turned his head, he found that the old man was leaning back in the chair, and his thin hands trembled while thinking.
