Golden autumn October.

Chen An'an sat on a bumpy old rural bus, looking out the window motionless, like a statue that had been petrified for a long time.

He carried a black backpack on his back and a suitcase in his right arm.

The shoulder straps on both sides of the backpack near the shoulders have long since worn out, revealing white strips of cloth.

The zippers on both sides of the suitcase have long been rusted.

For Chen An'an, who is originally from the countryside, this is nothing, as long as it can be used.

Now his mind is full of systems of blessings in disguise.

Last week, he helped a patient with cervical spondylosis do a neck massage, and the doctor told him to do a cervical orthopedic massage for the patient after the massage.

Because the patient did not have a photo, Chen An'an was reluctant to help the patient with cervical orthopedics.

But the doctor warned him that he had already charged the fee for cervical orthopedics, and that he would help the patient correct the bones no matter what.

So, he stiffened his head and gently pulled the patient's neck.

As a result, the patient's neck was broken, and he was later transferred to the city hospital for cervical spine surgery, and it seemed that he could not move his hands and feet.

Eventually, Chen was fired from the hospital and his license revoked, but the doctor was unharmed.

Chen An'an opened the attribute panel in his mind, looked at the simple numbers one by one, and sighed:

Name: An'an Chen

Age: 24 years old

Power: 1.2

Dexterity: 1

Spirit: 1

Constitution: 0.8

Unused attribute points: 0.01

Suddenly, an old woman behind Chen An'an, who was holding the seat in front of her with both hands, looked Chen An'an up and down, and patted Chen An'an on the shoulder.

Chen An'an turned his head and looked at the strange old woman.

The old woman spoke in a local dialect: "Young man, where are you from, why did you come to us?" ”

This is a rural bus, only one trip is made on weekends and holidays for children and students, and there are not many passengers on this bus, and most of the grandmothers know each other.

"My hometown is from the back of the Bow."

The old grandmother said "oh", "You've been living outside, no wonder I don't know you." ”

The two chatted for dozens of minutes without a word, Chen An'an didn't really want to chat, but he couldn't bear the grandmother's initiative.

After the grandmother got off the bus, another five or six minutes passed, and the bus arrived at the final stop, Aobei Village.

Aobei Village, as the name suggests, is a village that works on its back, and the residents who live here may face the loess with their backs to the sky all their lives.

However, now that every village is connected to roads and water and electricity, even in Aobei Village, which is located in a deep ravine, the quality of life has been greatly improved.

After Chen An'an and the driver consulted the itinerary of the bus, they got off the bus.

In particular, he remembers that he hadn't been back to his hometown for eight years.

Eight years is neither a long nor a short time, but now Aobei Village, which meets Chen An'an's eyes, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The most conspicuous thing is the high-rise bungalows here.

He remembers that there used to be mud houses, and the slightly better ones were one- or two-story fire-brick houses, and even the cement mortar on the walls outside the houses was not smeared.

Chen An'an calmed down a little, thinking of the old house left by his grandfather, he didn't want it to be renovated into a new house, as long as it could still be inhabited.

With the memories in his mind, Chen An'an walked on the side of the road that was once a gravel road and walked towards the small mountain village.

"I remember that the water in these two ponds used to be dirty and smelly, and there was mud on both sides of the pond!"

As soon as he stepped into the village, he saw two large ponds next to each other in the village.

Nowadays, although the water in the two large ponds is not very clean, the garbage such as bottles and cans, slippers and sanitary napkins floating on the water surface has long been gone.

At least now, you can see the muddy mud at the bottom of the water.

Chen An'an walked on the concrete road by the pond, put down the suitcase in his hand, put his hands on a stone lion on the white marble guardrail on the edge of the pond, and looked at a place.

Over there, it is the house left by his deceased grandfather.

Because the second uncle built a three-story building on the edge of the pond, a house similar to a bunker during the Anti-Japanese War blocked his view, Chen An'an did not see clearly what his house looks like now.

At this time, an aunt carrying two dustpans passed by him.

The aunt thought that Chen An'an was a foreigner, so she didn't say hello.

Chen An'an retracted his gaze, grabbed the handle of the suitcase, pulled the suitcase and continued to walk along the pond.

Walking to the other end of the pond, Chen An'an saw the location of the second uncle's house, which is now a one-story bungalow, and the outer wall is not painted with cement mortar, let alone tiled.

In my impression, the second uncle's house used to be a mud tile house. At least, it's a lot better now than it was eight years ago. Although, compared with the surrounding four or five floors, the appearance of the villa is still so bad.

He also saw his grandfather's house, which was separated from his second uncle's house, which was still a mud tile house.

He suddenly reacted that there was an extra basketball court at the door of his grandfather's house!

It seems that the yard in front of the grandfather's house is occupied by the basketball court!

Chen An'an did not rush to his grandfather's house, but walked to the gate of the courtyard of the second uncle's house and stopped. The two small rusty iron doors that did not look strong were closed, and an iron lock was placed in the middle, indicating that no one in the second uncle's family was at home at this time.

He stood at the door, put the suitcase in his hand on the edge of the wall of the door, and began to wait for the second uncle and them to return.

It's not that he wants to live in the second uncle's house, but he doesn't live here all the year round, and the key to his grandfather's house is in the hands of the second uncle's family.

"Hey lad!"

At this moment, the fat aunt next door to the second uncle's house stopped Chen An'an.

After all, the appearance of a boy with a backpack and a suitcase at someone's door has to make people think that it may be that a member of the family has returned.

But the question is, they don't seem to have this person in their family?

"Auntie." Chen An'an greeted him politely.

The aunt was stunned, obviously not expecting Chen An'an to be so polite.

"Why are you standing here? You are? ”

"I'm at the door of my second uncle's house."

"Second uncle?" The aunt began to mumble in her mouth, and suddenly, she suddenly brightened, "You are the Chen An who was brought up by your grandfather..."

"Chen An'an."

"That's right! How did you get back? ”

"Come back and stay for a few days."

The aunt let out an "oh" and continued: "Your second uncle and they have gone out to do farm work, and they will come back later, so you don't want to sit at my house." ”

"Thank you." Chen An'an politely declined.

"Why don't I call you and get them back?"

Chen An'an sneered, waved his hand and refused: "No need, thank you." ”

This aunt, he is actually unfamiliar, after all, he has not lived much in Aobei Village.
