Where Tieguanyin is located, it snows in winter.

This means that he must be in the north.

Only winter in the north will be a season of snow.

Liu Ruiying saw that Tie Guanyin still hadn't built his house.

In autumn, the weather is still warm.

It can be said that falling asleep on the ground can also be said to be in the past.

But now it's time for the snow to turn into ice.

What if you don't have a house that can keep out the snow and wind?

But in the face of this piece of pure white.

People are always able to pay for their own thoughts.

Tieguanyin walks in the snow.

The snow in the mountains is deep.

So he took every step carefully.

In that case, it was as if I was afraid that I would get too hard and hurt the snow.

Didn't take a few steps.

Tieguanyin stopped.

He leaned over and brushed the snow away from the ground with his hand.

I found that the grass under the snow still retains some fresh green.

He smiled.

The snow was put back on.

The movement was so gentle.

It's like giving his newborn child a new life, and pulling up the quilt that he kicked off the bed at night.

It is also because Tieguanyin lives in the north.

So he understands snow.

It also snows in the winter.

But never before has it been so thick or so white.

The four seasons of Zhongdu are distinct.

In the north, only winter and summer have a clear alternating boundary.

Tieguanyin is a fruit farmer, so he cares more about spring and autumn.

However, looking at this world, which was originally a rich world, has become so pure in a blink of an eye, it really makes Liu Ruiying a little unaccustomed.

Although he is now a spiritual, detached bystander.

But he blinked hard.

The reflection of the snow is too strong.

It made his eyes a little uncomfortable.

It seems that the spirit can no longer keep up with such a fast-paced change.

It's too late to see the last touch of that autumn.

The eyes were filled with such a general aspect.

Liu Ruiying's gaze had been following Tie Guanyin's side.

But at the moment.

He was alone in a daze.

Although it is in a daze.

But being in a daze is just a façade.

People who are really in a daze, how wonderful they are in their brains are not enough for outsiders.

Many of the previous stories, like a river that has not yet frozen, are slowly flowing in his mind.

The messy autumn sunset leaves, and the fruit from the fruit trees that will be plucked in the future.

Some fell into the river.

Some were buried in the snow.

Fallen leaves, fallen fruits.

It's the same as leaving.

But what's better than people is that their situation is only for a moment.

But people can remember for a long, long time.

Liu Ruiying's eyes chased Tie Guanyin again.

The cold wind blew his neck back.

He was afraid of the cold?

How could a person with such a wonderful martial art be afraid of the cold?

At this moment, Tieguanyin looks no different from ordinary people.

But with the act of shrinking the neck, this can be proven.

But what Liu Ruiying didn't know was.

Tieguanyin is not afraid of the cold.

Instead, I simply want to give myself some security and belonging with the clothes on my body.

Even if he was used to being alone.

But sometimes I hope that someone can talk to me.

This refers to the kind of conversation that goes back and forth.

Instead of hugging the trees in the orchard after he had drunk too much, he muttered a lot.

But doesn't he always go to the market to drink with a girl?

Isn't that the one who can talk?

It's so contradictory.

made Liu Ruiying a headache.

But when I thought about it, I understood.

Tieguanyin looking for a girl to drink with him, just like Tang Zhongsong asked himself to drink that day.

One is to ask what's new.

Second, I'm afraid it's just a simple attempt to find someone to clink glasses.

The man clinking glasses is not familiar.

Because familiar people will have a lot to say.

Speaking of which, it is inevitable that there will be a delay in drinking.

But if you don't know someone well, why should you clink glasses?

So it was most appropriate to spend money to call two girls to accompany the wine.

Although he has a strong nature, he will also say a lot.

But the main purpose is just to clink glasses.

However, there are still few times to clink glasses.

Throughout the year, he wants to talk to someone more.

But Liu Ruiying has discovered a problem with Tieguanyin.

When he doesn't drink, he doesn't want to talk.

Once you have drunk alcohol, you must have spoken with great humor.

But after a few words, I wanted to drink again.

When you want to speak again.

There was no one around.

What I wanted to say had to turn into a long sigh......

What kind of emotion should this be?

Liu Ruiying couldn't find the right words to describe it.

He didn't know Tieguanyin's previous story.

I've been watching things now.

If anyone wants to ask.

But I don't know where to start or how to speak.

But his only feeling was.

The accumulation of these years.

The reincarnation of spring and autumn.

Let Tieguanyin give up.

It's too much.

There is so much that even the snow on the ground and the grass under the snow will be distressed and cared for.

It's winter.

Liu Ruiying found that Tie Guanyin began to sleep very little.

I don't drink much anymore.

Not drinking may be because he has no money.

But but there is no house, but it is not a reason not to sleep.

Maybe it's because he doesn't want to waste his time sleeping.

It's weirdly tight.

Obviously the most industrious time, but he chose to waste his time.

And in the season when he should be idle, he has no time to spare.

Actually, he didn't do anything.

Just keep walking.

Walk through every nearby hill.

Walk through every inch of your orchard.

Take a picture of all the trees you pass by.

It's like an old friend who hasn't seen each other for a long time and reunited on the road.

But he just patted it and moved on.

But he didn't say a word.

There is no talk to himself.

When you are thirsty, grab a handful of snow and stuff it in your mouth.

It must also be snow falling on the branches.

This snow must be icy teeth.

But he didn't care.

Take a few steps and grab a handful and eat it.

I can't stop chewing.

It's like something delicious in the world.

But in reality, it's just a sip of water.

Liu Ruiying saw him speak for the first time in winter. It's Tie Guanyin who is quarreling with people.

Because the man was clearing the snow at the door.

Tie Guanyin angrily rushed up and dodged the man's broom.

With a slight break, it broke in two.

The host looked at Tie Guanyin blankly.

They are all fruit growers.

I know each other well.

After Tie Guanyin broke the broom, he pointed at the owner of the house and scolded.

scolded many words, all of which Liu Ruiying had heard for the first time.

"You don't sweep, you don't sweep!"

The host family seems to know that Tieguanyin has this kind of problem.

I don't bother with him.

With a wave of his hand, he turned and went back into the house.

But Tie Guanyin still kept scolding.

I'm tired of scolding.

He sat down on the stone pier at the door.

Then he used the half of the broom in his hand to sweep back the snow that had been swept away by the owner's house before.

The paving is smooth and neat.

Exactly the same as after the snow.

Tieguanyin didn't want anyone to change the natural laws of the season.

Since the snow has fallen, there must be a reason for it.

Why are you sweeping?

You sweep, proving that you want to change this season, change this nature.

But Tieguanyin knows that the only one who can really change is himself.

Change your attitude towards the season, towards nature.

But he also knew it.

After he left.

The owner of this house will definitely come out with a new broom to clear the snow again.

But that's not something he can handle.

Because by the time he met, he had already made the actions and reactions he wanted to do.

The rest, he can't see.

There is no way to say that it can be managed.

After all, he wouldn't sit on this stone pier for a whole winter.

He's going to keep going.

Even if you don't know where you're going.

But go forward, don't stop, it's always right.

It's dark.

The lights were lit up in the mountains.

But those lights weren't enough to illuminate the rugged mountain roads.

Like tonight.

Surprisingly black.

Fortunately, he has walked this road countless times, but he can even remember where there are pitfalls.

I didn't miss a step.

There was laughter in some of the lights.

And in some of the lights, only tears can be brewed.

But Tieguanyin has no lights.

Naturally, there was no laughter or tears.

But Liu Ruiying experienced an indescribable pleasure in him.

He has had this kind of exhilaration.

And only at night.

Only at night when it was so dark that there was not even a shadow.

Clouds and snow echo each other.

Tieguanyin walked on the snow as if he was trekking through the clouds.

The world is turned upside down.

It makes no difference.

Those who were born in the south must be afraid of the cold of winter.

Because no matter how graceful a woman is, in winter, she has to wear a thick cotton robe and winter clothes.

Looks bloated.

There is no 'beauty' at all.

And the smile that is like a warm sun on weekdays will also become sad because of the cold.

It's really that people don't want to look at it again.

For Tieguanyin, this saves a lot of trouble.

Because everyone just walks with their heads down and their necks locked.

On the contrary, no one noticed that he was such a strange person.

It's not just night.

Winter can also give him the best protection, which is the home he dreams of every year.

Liu Ruiying can even guess why he chose to live in the north.

Because the winter is the longest in the north.

The long winter makes his happiness and comfort more durable.

Pedestrians hitting the road in the northern winter.

There is some longing in my heart.

Some longed for the warmth of their parents, wives and children.

Someone was thinking about a pot of hot soup already boiling on the stove.

Tieguanyin may be the only pedestrian who doesn't have any desire.

He just has a great fascination with the feeling of being on the road.

Went around in circles and spared a big circle.

Eventually, he returned to a village under his orchard.

Winter has put the village to sleep.

There is the sun today.

But the winter sun is fake.

No matter how big and bright it looks, it doesn't give people any warmth.

The inhabitants of the village are scattered on the hills.

If it is in a low-lying area.

The snow that melts at the beginning of spring will wash away the entire house.

They don't have the money to build a strong house.

I can only spend a little more time and experience to build the house higher.

This village is the end point of his annual winter trip.

After leaving from here.

He would go back to his orchard and dig a snow nest.

Curled up inside.

It's like a bear, and it won't come out until it's stung.

And the reason why he came to this village is simple.

Because there is an old man in this village.

An ordinary old man who is extremely old.

It is no different from the old local farmers, and there is nothing outstanding about it.

The only difference is that he is older than the others.

Sometimes, being old is also a characteristic.

If the old one has no characteristics, it only means that the person is not old enough.

After walking here.

Liu Ruiying saw that Tie Guanyin's steps had become much faster.

It can be seen how urgent his mood is.

This made Liu Ruiying suddenly come to his senses.

He wanted to see what Tie Guanyin was in such an anxious mood to do.

Walked to the entrance of the village.

Liu Ruiying saw an old man leaning on a broken recliner.

Shake, shake.

Squint your eyes and bask in the sun.

It seemed to be napping, but it wasn't asleep.

He obviously sensed the arrival of Tie Guanyin.

Because he tilted his head slightly in the direction of Tieguanyin.

But then he continued to squint and bask in the sun.

The old man was the only one sitting outside the village.

It's very abrupt.

Look down from above.

Smoke rises from the pure white backing.

Then, a small black dot was quietly nailed in place.

This little black dot is the old man on the recliner.

"The sun is shining today!"

Tie Guanyin rubbed his hands and said.

"No, I won't come out. ”

The old man said.

"Remember me?"

Tie Guanyin asked.

The old man finally opened his eyes, carefully looked at Tieguanyin from beginning to end, and then shook his head.

Tie Guanyin smiled and didn't care.

It turns out that this old man forgets the events of the previous year every year.

No matter how familiar he was with this person last year, how many things he did together, he would forget.

Last year, he and Tie Guanyin basked in the sun and drank wine together.

Except for this chaise longue under him.

There is another one in the old man's courtyard.

It's just more tattered in comparison.

"I don't know you either. Just wanted to bask in the sun with you!"

Tie Guanyin said.

"There is also a reclining chair on the top of the hill in the courtyard, take it and use it yourself. ”

The old man lazily raised his hand and said.

"Remember to pay it back!"

Just as Tie Guanyin walked into his small courtyard.

The old man's voice sounded from behind him again.

Such a tattered recliner.

I'm afraid that if you give it away, you will be disliked.

And how can it be stolen?

But Liu Ruiying felt excitement from Tie Guanyin's back.

He took out the recliner and placed it next to the old man.

Then he lay down on his ass.

The recliner squeaks.

It looks like it's about to fall apart.

Fortunately, Tieguanyin is not a fat man.

The whole body is placed on the chaise longue, and the remaining one-third of the position.

Otherwise, whether this recliner can support it depends on another matter.

Tieguanyin took out a wine bottle from his arms.

This made Liu Ruiying's eyes widen.

His gaze followed Tie Guanyin all the way.

Never saw him buy wine.

So where did this bottle come from?

It can't be born out of his arms......

Tie Guanyin opened the flask and handed it to the old man.

"What is this?"

The old man asked.

"Wine!"

Tie Guanyin said.

These conversations and actions all happened exactly the same last year.

But the old man doesn't remember anymore.

Tie Guanyin found this repetition extremely interesting.

At least Liu Ruiying didn't see the slightest impatience on his face.

The old man seemed to be older than the village.

And the wine bottle that Tie Guanyin took out was even older than this old man.

Ancient things always go well with each other.

"I can't drink it......"

The old man said.

Tilted his head to the side.

"Why don't you drink it? It's a good wine! It's good and old. ”

Tie Guanyin said.

As he spoke, he leaned the bottle in front of the old man.

The old man couldn't help it, so he had to smell it.

"It's a good wine, indeed. ”

Then he took the bottle and took a sip.

"Is it just a sip?"

Tie Guanyin asked.

"If I drank it all, wouldn't it look too thick-skinned?"

The old man said with a smile.

His eyes narrowed even deeper.

It's like two crescent moons.

The sun hangs in the sky.

The two crescents were on the ground.

In the face of the old man.

"It's okay to be thick-skinned when you're old. ”

Tie Guanyin said.

I took a sip of it.

You can see that the wine is still extremely strong.

Tie Guanyin coughed twice after drinking.

The most taboo thing about drinking spirits is coughing.

Once coughed.

If you haven't swallowed it completely, you will choke it again.

Towards the eyes and nose.

That taste.

Those who have not experienced it, cannot understand it.

Although it is uncomfortable.

But there are also people who are extremely addicted to it.

Even when he didn't cough, there were a few hard "coughs".

Liu Ruiying couldn't tell which kind of Tieguanyin was.

But he did have a cough.

"Do you know what's the only thing I've never done in my life?"

The old man asked, looking back.

"I don't know. I don't know what you've done. ”

Tie Guanyin took another sip of wine and said.

This time he didn't cough.

Liu Ruiying also knew that Fang Cai's cough was not intentional on purpose.

"At my age, I've done more than you. The only thing that has not been done is to rely on the old and sell the old. ”

The old man said.

"But in the first half of your sentence, isn't it relying on the old to sell the old?"

Tie Guanyin asked rhetorically.

The old man's eyes widened, and he turned his head to stare directly at Tieguanyin.

Liu Ruiying saw that although this old man had suffered the vicissitudes of time, his eyes were still very clear.

There is not a trace of turbidity.

"Really?"

The old man asked.

"Count. As long as I do what I do, you can do what you do...... If you say something like this, it's counted!"

Tie Guanyin said.

"Oh......"

The old man held up a long voice and answered.

"You must not have done much at your age. ”

The old man thought for a moment and said again.

"In this way, it can't be regarded as relying on the old and selling the old, right?"

The old man asked playfully.

Although his smile only made the folds on his face deeper.

But he laughed anyway.

"It's still a little bit like that. ”

Tie Guanyin lay down on the recliner again and said.

"No, not at all. This sentence means something else. ”

The old man said.

"What do you mean?"

Tieguanyin asked curiously.

"I simply look down on you. ”

The old man said.

immediately snatched away the wine bottle in Tie Guanyin's hand.

He took two gulps into his mouth.

"Didn't you just say that you can't be cheeky?"

Tie Guanyin also smiled.

The smiles of the old and the young appeared one after another, but they were to warm the world more than this bright sunshine.

"It's not cheeky to look down on people. ”

The old man said.

"Gudu Gudu" drank most of the bottle before returning it to Tieguanyin.

Tie Guanyin took the flask in his hand and weighed it a few times.

I found that the wine that the old man drank, compared with last year, was not much in one sip, and one in a sip was not much.

"What's not cheeky?"

Tie Guanyin then asked.

The old man was silent at the moment.

Last year today.

This is the end of the conversation between the two of them.

Tieguanyin thought that he would be able to make a breakthrough this year and continue to chat.

But who knows, this question has taken the old man a year but has not yet come up with an answer.

The sun is in the west.

Tie Guanyin drank the last sip of wine.

Then he put the bottle back in his arms.

"That's the rental fee for my deck chair and the ticket money to bask in the sun with me. ”

Just as Tieguanyin was about to leave.

The old man's voice came from behind him.

Tieguanyin didn't look back.

Instead, he smiled to himself.

Although this reason is somewhat far-fetched.

But at least in the winter of next year, the two will be able to say one more word.
