Thunder Roll Chapter 26: Country Folk Customs

Lei Luo and Wan Er went all the way down along Zhuxi Lake, saw the rippling blue waves, passed through the dense forest of lush forests and bamboos, turned over the snow-capped snow-capped mountains, and when they could see the undulating wheat sea at the head of Leihuang Village, it was already dusk on the third day.

The two walked all the way, holding each other's hands, but they never let go.

It was almost to the head of Lei Huang Village, and the quiet little village had already appeared in view, and Wan Er reluctantly withdrew his little hand from Lei Luo's palm.

Now Wan'er, her face is flushed, and she is more shy than in the past. Lei Luo looked at the indisputable village in front of him, then turned his head to look at Wan'er, put his hands on Wan'er's shoulders, and said softly: "Guan'er, the two days I have been with you have been the happiest day for me......"

Wan Er didn't say anything, hugged Lei Luo, and leaned his head deep on his chest, as if he was afraid of losing Lei Luo.

In a silent tacit understanding, the two let go of their hands and walked side by side towards the village.

Lei Luo's parents and Wan'er's mother had been looking at the entrance of the village, and when they saw the figures of the two appearing on the path into the village, they were overjoyed, shouting the names of the two and running over with open arms......

Wan Er hadn't seen his mother for a few days, and he didn't feel it when he was with Lei Luo, but now that he was being held by his mother, the sadness suddenly came to his heart, his nose was sore, and he cried.

Lei Luo hugged his parents, but his heart was full of turbulence - there were so many secrets and dangers around him, how should he face them? I just hope that these things will not involve my parents.

No matter what everyone asked, Wan'er just cried, but didn't speak, which also gave Lei Luo a chance to hide his true image.

In fact, Lei Luo didn't want to lie to everyone, but if everything that happened to him was told truthfully, who would believe it? Even if his parents believed it, wouldn't it make them more worried?

Lei Luo's heart is also very contradictory.

On the way back, although I spent the warmest and most comfortable time with Wan'er, the problem has always been tangled in my heart. I thought my answer was perfect enough, but I didn't know what's going on, in the face of my parents, Lei Luo's answer was full of flaws even for me, and I couldn't even listen to it.

Lei Luo told everyone that the gang of strongmen who kidnapped Guan Er were looking for a pair of brothers and sisters who had been missing for many years, and they got the news wrong, thinking that Lei Luo and Guan Er were the brother and sister. I wanted to kidnap both of them, but I couldn't find Lei Luo's person, so I left a note for Lei Luo to go to the appointment......

When they arrived at Zhuxi Lake, the gang of strongmen found that they had made a mistake, so they naturally let Lei Luo and Wan'er go......

Surprisingly, everyone believed it and didn't ask any questions.

Now that everyone has returned safely, what is there to doubt?

Wan'er went home accompanied by his mother, Lei Luo's heart was full of doubts, his heart was like numbness, and after eating dinner, he used the excuse that he was too sleepy and went back to sleep.

Tossing and turning, tossing and turning, I finally fell asleep, but I couldn't sleep steadily.

In my sleep, there was a faint wind and rain coming, and the black clouds pressed down on the mountain, and I was so depressed that I couldn't breathe. In an instant, lightning and thunder roared, the sky was full of rain nets, and in the stormy storm, there was a dark figure coming, and wherever it passed, the wind and rain avoided one after another. The figure was veiled, and it was hard to see, and the only thing I could see was the eyes that shone like stars, and it looked like a woman.

When she was in doubt, the woman stretched out her right hand and slowly pulled down the veil, and at this moment, Lei Luo woke up.

The next morning, when he had breakfast, Lei Luo made a plan and wanted to go to Yu Lao's yard to have a look. Thinking about it, he subconsciously touched the key on his neck.

After eating, Lei Luo was about to leave, but he didn't expect his mother to say that it was time to pack sausages, and the meat was marinated, so let Lei Luo help.

Lei Luo then remembered that it was almost the New Year.

Lei Luo didn't know how long he could live with such a calm and peaceful life. This may already be the calm before the storm, so let's spend time with your parents. Thinking of this, my heart warmed, and I went to help my mother fill the sausage.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there were uninvited guests at home, two people who Lei Luo never expected - Chopping Jade and Zhizhi.

Chopping jade no longer has the heaviness it had before, carrying some gifts such as fresh fruit and fresh meat in his hands, and his face and expression are like when he was studying in a private school, looking like a hanger. The smile on his face made Lei Luo feel so nostalgic and kind.

The worries are still the same as before, and they don't eat the fireworks of the world.

Why did they come? Lei Luo had a lot of questions in his heart to ask them.

Lei Luo didn't ask, and went up and hugged the jade, quite excited.

Cho Yu said with a hippie smile: "What, it's only been a few days, and you miss me?" My parents have something to go out, and this year, the little demon and I are going to spend the New Year at your house......

Speaking of when his parents went out on something, Lei Luo obviously felt that Xue Yu's body trembled, and an ominous feeling came to his heart, but Lei Luo couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was.

The villagers in the mountains and fields, the folk customs are the most simple, Wan'er's mother heard that the jade and the worry were going to celebrate the New Year in their own home, they were very happy, and warmly received the two, and said that they would invite the two to taste the sausages they were making...... In the heart of Lei Luo's mother, Chopping Jade is tantamount to Lei Luo's life-saving benefactor, who appeared in time and solved everyone's urgency.

Cho Yu heard that he had never made a sausage before, hoping to help, but he had already rolled up his sleeves and walked to the basin containing the meat.

Chopping Yu hurriedly handed over the fresh fruit and fresh flesh in his hand to Lei Luo's mother, and also went to fill the sausages, Lei Luo had to go to the bamboo forest to help them cut two bamboo tubes, and teach them to load them by hand.

Regardless of his earth-shaking and his intrigues, he is now enjoying himself, so why bother thinking about those troubles? What should come will naturally come, and what should come must not be hidden, and the worries in his heart will be put aside.

Lei Luo comforted himself like this.

The sausage in Leihuang Village is still very primitive: put the marinated pork in pieces, put the bamboo tube in the cleaned pig intestine, and then pick up the pickled pork with chili pepper and pepper powder by hand, and stuff it into the pig's small intestine through the bamboo tube......

Where is this what the pampered rich children of Cho Yu can do, the weather is so cold that when you pick up the pork, you feel cold and piercing, and you can't hold a few hands to freeze red, and when stuffing pork, you have to press the pork stuffed in with your hands, and if you don't press it tightly, the sausage that comes out is soft and loose, and it will explode as soon as you cook it...... Before he finished loading one, he screamed......

The worry was extremely skillful, and the ten slender jade fingers didn't seem to feel the slightest cold.

Seeing this situation, Lei Luo's mother hurriedly said, "Girl, you look like you're doing housework for a long time, it's really good." Then he said to Cho Yu: "Young man, if you two really want to help, go and help your uncle smoke bacon!"

When he heard this, he was even more energetic: "How to smoke?

Smoked bacon in Leihuang Village requires a special kind of wood ash. Make a shelf more than one person high, hang the salted meat on the shelf, then make a fire under the shelf, pour wood ashes, and sprinkle some water if necessary. Because smoking bacon requires smoke, not fire, and if the flames are rising, it is not smoked bacon but barbecue. Finally, the fire and the shelves for hanging meat should be enclosed with mats woven with bamboo strips, so as to ensure that the rising smoke can smoke the bacon fragrantly......

This thing is obviously very suitable for cutting jade, and he is very active in making fires and pouring ashes, and he has been busy for a while, except for two eyes, the rest of his face is completely black, and when he opens his mouth and smirks, only his teeth are white.

When it's so lively, how can there be no Wan'er?

Four young people, these four young people who decide the fate of the universe, are in this wilderness and cold village, in this warm winter sun, enjoying the last tranquility unscrupulously.

At night, I went to sleep at Guan'er's house, chopping jade and thunder falling together, although everyone had secrets in their hearts, but they all knew it.

Perhaps, as we all know, after the tranquility, when the storm comes, everything will fall into place.

Lively and lively, laughing and laughing, soon, Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the afternoon, Cho Yu went out to buy a lot of fireworks and firecrackers and came back, and the little children in the village were excited, and immediately surrounded him, and they were very enthusiastic, when had these children seen so many firecrackers.

When night fell, the fireworks rose into the sky, at first just an inconspicuous ball, soaring upwards, and suddenly exploded, red, yellow, blue, golden, dazzling, dazzling, and brilliant. The night sky lit up. A bunch of children clapped their hands and screamed. But this splendor did not last long, and then it dimmed, scattered into soot, and drifted away with the wind.

At that time, Lei Luo was only eighteen or nine years old, but he often thought about the opposition between the moment and the eternal. The fallen leaves that fall in autumn, the butterflies that don't live for a season, the fireworks that take off into the sky...... Is there any value in a short life?

When discussing this topic with Teacher Xuanqing, Teacher Xuanqing used the merits of the emperor to prove to Lei Luo: A short time can also leave an eternal brilliance. In fact, Lei Luo knew that the teacher wanted to explain to Lei Luo that only by leaving an immortal masterpiece for future generations can you be immortal with the immortality of your masterpiece.

However, Thunderfall had something else in mind. People will naturally have different views on the same thing at different stages. The experience is different, the knowledge is different, and the understanding is naturally different.

Watching this scene of prosperity rising and falling, Lei Luo was full of emotion. The world is impermanent, ever-changing, even if it is like a poet and a poet immortal, leaving behind the great poems that are as brilliant as the sun, but this person is still gone, he left the enjoyment of art to future generations, but what about himself? What can be eternal in the world, cherish the present, is eternal, even if it is instantaneous, it is also eternal.

Thinking of this, looking at the fireworks in the sky, Lei Luo hugged Wan'er's hand, and couldn't help but tighten it tighter.

"Go home and find Yu Lao. The sound of the string was suddenly sounded in his head, and Lei Luo instantly broke out in a cold sweat, looking around blankly, except for the busy figures of the fireworks, where was the slightest shadow of the string.

Looking for Yu Lao, what are you looking for Yu Lao? Touching the key, Lei Luo couldn't help but secretly think, could it be that Yu Lao left something behind and needed this key to open?

Thinking of all the mysterious past on Yu Lao's body, and thinking of the secrets on his body, Lei Luo secretly made up his mind to go to Yu Lao's house tonight to find out.
