On the second day after the role was completed, Chen Shuo said goodbye to Wang Gang, Xiu Qing and others and prepared to return to his hometown. They still have a lot of roles in the crew, so naturally they can't leave now.

It has been half a year since I walked out of that small mountain village in early August.

In the past six months, Chen Shuo has indeed made a lot of progress.

Four plays and four characters, each play, each role, is equivalent to experiencing a life.

Now, he has experienced four lives, even if it is just a superficial performance, which makes him very different from the self he was half a year ago.

Walking on the street, many people couldn't help but look back at him, which was also unprecedented before.

February 1, 2002, the twentieth day of the lunar calendar.

Chen Shuo came to the train station, bought a ticket and went all the way north.

There is no airport in Lanling, so I want to take a plane to get off at Pengcheng or Langya next door.

These two places are still not a short distance from his hometown, so it is better to take the train directly.

Besides, he is not in a hurry to go back now, one plane ticket is enough for him to buy several soft sleepers.

Arrived at Lanling all the way safely, Chen Shuo transferred to the bus station and took the bus back to Hexiang County.

Then he took a bus from Hexiang County to the town, spent money to rent a motorcycle, and rode for an hour to reach his hometown, Chen Jiagu.

The driver of the motorcycle who sent him back looked at the village that was still halfway up the mountain, and couldn't help but sigh: "My family is also here, and I don't know that there is a village where this bird doesn't." ”

Chen Shuo paid for the car and said with a smile: "It's a little off, but it's a home after all, isn't it?" ”

"Also, if you have money or not, you have to go home for the New Year, no matter how good the gold and silver nests are outside, we also think about our own kennels." The driver counted the money, saw that there were more than twenty yuan, took it out and handed it to Chen Shuo and said, "Child, give too much money." ”

"It's not much, the uncle's car is driving well, and besides, this place is so remote, it's not easy for you to go back and forth."

"That can't be, how much should it be, it's not easy for you to earn some money at such a young age." The driver said and threw the money to Chen Shuo, and then walked away with the gas pedal.

"Uncle, slow down on the road!" Chen Shuo waved his hand at him and shouted.

Seeing him stretch out a hand and shake it, Chen Shuo picked up the money on the ground, picked it up and saluted to the mountain.

Halfway through, I saw several children gathered together, and the discussion was intense.

Chen Shuo shouted: "Boom!! ”

"Ah!!h Several children screamed and fled.

One of them tripped and fell, but he didn't care about crawling out, for fear of being a step slower.

After reacting, they found that there was nothing, and they all glared at Chen Shuo.

"Who is it?" An older boy, eleven or twelve, holding a few firecrackers in one hand and a stick of incense stick in the other, wiped his nose with his sleeve and asked.

"It's Brother Shuo, it's Brother Shuo!" There were people who recognized it and ran over cheering.

There are no outsiders in Chen Jiagu, they are all members of the Chen family, and several boys are called Chen Shuo's brother and uncle, and they are surrounded by swarms.

The boy who asked him who he was was called Chen Ping, don't look at the oldest, but he was the great-grandson of Chen Shuo's grandfather's family, so he had to be called uncle.

"Uncle Shuoshuo, didn't you go with my lord God? How did you get back? He volunteered to help Chen Shuo carry his suitcase, but when he found that he couldn't carry it, he began to pull out the bag behind his back.

The eldest lord is talking about Chen Yukun, Chen Shuo is used to calling his grandfather the master, and if there are a few lines in the family, he will add a sort, and the eldest master is the eldest grandfather.

"Wait a minute, get some good stuff for you." Chen Shuo untied his backpack, took out a bag of candy from it, and divided them one by one.

In the end, the rest was given to Chen Ping, and said, "Xiaoping, you take the rest, and when they finish eating, ask you again." ”

"Tube." Chen Ping sandwiched the remaining candy in his armpit, watched Chen Shuo pull the bag and carry it on his back.

Then the other children also helped Chen Shuo carry the salute to the village.

"Uncle Shuoshuo, why did you come back first?"

"I had something to do, and I happened to pass by us when I came back, so I didn't come back with Master Kai."

"Brother Shuoshuo, this candy is so delicious."

"When the meeting is finished, I'll ask Xiaoping again, but I can't eat too much in a day."

"Brother Shuoshuo, when will Sister Rui Rui come back?"

"It's coming soon, come back with Uncle and Auntie."

“……”

Chirping all the way back to the village, some old men and old ladies basking in the sun at the entrance of the village saw it, and greeted them with a kind face: "Shuoshuo is back?" ”

"That Xiao Kun and Erni didn't come back together?"

"Big grandma, second master, third master, big uncle...... It's back. Let's bask in the sun first, and I'll send my things home first.

My uncle and aunt will be back in two days. ”

"Okay, let's send the things back first."

"Anyway, let's go home first."

"Okay, busy, I'll go back first."

Bidding farewell to a group of elders, Chen Shuo hurried home along the rugged path with bare bluestones.

Chen Shuo's home is at the back of the village, with a chest-high courtyard wall surrounded by stones, two blackened gates, and a slightly flat courtyard and three low mud houses.

He put down his salute and turned sideways to pull the latch from both sides of the door, Chen Ping and another child saw it and hurriedly climbed over the courtyard wall, pulled the latch from the inside, and opened the door with a squeak.

Chen Shuo carried a salute into the door, put the suitcase and package on a stone slab in the courtyard, and turned around to look at the courtyard where he grew up.

The bits and pieces of his grandfather in the past can't help but come to his heart.

Chen Ping had already run to the door of the house, removed the branch hanging on the door knocker, and pushed the door open with a clang.

"Puff~Puff~Puff~"

The stuffiness that had been deposited for half a year suddenly gushed out, choking several people and running away one after another.

Seeing that a few people gasped for a few breaths of fresh air, they were about to rush in again, Chen Shuo hurriedly shouted: "Wait until you go in again, ventilate first." ”

"Uncle Shuoshuo, it's all moldy in this house." Chen Ping fanned his nose and ran to him and said.

Chen Shuo replied while walking around the yard: "It's been half a year, just wait for the cleaning." ”

At this moment, a strange and familiar cat meow came like a tiger's roar.

"Meow~Woo~~"

Chen Shuo turned his head to look and saw a huge tanuki squatting on the courtyard wall, staring at him intently.

"Little Tiger! Little Tiger! When Chen Ping and the other children saw it, they screamed and threw themselves at it.

"Meow~Woo~~"

The tanuki cat named Xiaohu screamed again, jumped up suddenly, crossed the top of Chen Pingren's head, swept its tail over Chen Ping's head, and pounced on Chen Shuo.

"Little Tiger!"

Chen Shuo caught it, held it in his arms and stroked it twice, and felt relieved when he heard its snoring sound.

"Little Tiger!"

This raccoon cat is already six years old, and since he was a little milk cat, he was picked up by Chen Shuo's grandfather, and he has been with him all the time, and has made a lot of efforts for him to understand the tiger play.

The hair on his body is black and gray stripes, his four paws are as white as snow, and his body is 70 centimeters long and 20 pounds upward.

At the beginning, Chen Shuo took it to fight with many cats and dogs, and practiced strong combat ability.

Around the ten miles and eight towns, no cat or dog dares to blow up in front of it.

Rats and other things are even extinct in Chen Shuo's house, and there are not even many in the entire village.
