After the spring sowing, the news that Lu Liangsheng was going to build a new temple broke the peace in the village, and Lu Taigong was sometimes sober but confused, standing on crutches on the grinding of the dam, mobilizing the old and young in the village.

Over the years, the village has become much wealthier, but most of the people have remained industrious, and some have even gone to the city or to learn some crafts from some people in the surrounding area.

Among them, the villagers who know how to masonry get together, and after discussing with Lu Laoshi, the new temple is selected at the site of the original dilapidated mountain temple, first, the original foundation is in, and the re-laying of bricks and mud will be much faster, without too much time, and also save money, and secondly, because Lu Liangsheng asked to build a temple as soon as possible.

The original mountain temple is just in sync.

The spring is getting warmer, and when Lu Liangsheng passed, ground had already begun to break ground there, and only the foundation piles of the original desolate old temple were demolished, and the weeds around were trampled flat.

"Cut down a few trees over there, too! and two over there, blocking the rising sun!"

"Hurry up over there and muddy!"

In the shouting and noise, the women and children in the village not far from the old site, there are talking and laughing and mixing muddy water to pick up the back, and the old man with a strong body can easily carry this dozens of catties of thin mud, fortunately, the distance is not too far, and it will be ten zhang away.

Lu Laoshi and a group of villagers cut off a few felled trees and cut off the treetops, rolled to the temple, planed out the shape of the wooden beams, repainted and painted, and the whole scene was in full swing.

Cast a small spell to relieve everyone's fatigue, and after watching it for a while, Lu Liangsheng returned to the village and walked back to the small courtyard of the fence, the bookshelf had already been prepared, and in addition to the Moon Hazy Sword, there was only the scroll of the painting scroll of Honglian.

Hong Lian's hometown is not far away, in a village twenty or thirty miles north of Hegu County, if you go all out, you can reach Hegu County in half an hour, and you don't talk to your parents, masters, and apprentices.

took out the old donkey, put the bookshelf away, there was a muffled sound inside, Lu Liangsheng frowned, and opened the small door of the compartment with a creak, only to see the toad's face against the wooden wall, and then quickly sat back, picked up the cigarette stick and put it in his mouth.

Exhaling a puff of smoke, the toad glanced at the apprentice.

"The old man is just tired of staying and wants to go out to breathe, but he is not with you, don't think about it. ”

Next door, the picture scroll came from the weak voice of Red Pity: "Thank you, Master Toad." ”

"Hmph, what did Old Man Xie do?"

The toad Taoist lay down on his side, propped up his face, and waved his frog flippers: "Close the door for the teacher." ”

Outside, Lu Liangsheng smiled, closed the small door, led the old donkey and walked out of the yard, the jingling bell rang between the mountain roads, and he went away to the other end in the blink of an eye.

Passing by Fushui County, I went to the original Chen Mansion, the courtyard was desolate, a pair of majestic stone lions, one of them cut off an ear, Lu Liangsheng performed a wall piercing technique, a blinding method to enter, it is difficult to see a figure inside, since Chen Yaoke died, Chen Yuanwai was also frightened, sad and died excessively, because it was haunted, no one moved in this house again.

The empty huge courtyard, overgrown with wild grass, Lu Liangsheng came to the side courtyard, and under the guidance of Hong Lian, he took out the corpses in the soil, the costume was tattered and wrapped in a white bone, several bones were smashed, and there were also cracks on the forehead.

Hong Lian turned her face away, like a snorting voice, and said:

"They were afraid that I wasn't dead, so when I buried it, I smashed it a few more times."

Lu Liangsheng fell silent, spread out a white cloth to wrap the bones of Hong Lian, cast a shrinking spell, and put it on the bookshelf.

"Let's go"

Soon after, I left the county seat and went to Hegu County in the north along the official road, the original Li family class was still there, but unfortunately after that incident, the business was not as good as before, and the people in the troupe left one after another, going their separate ways.

In the crowded bazaar, among the pedestrians, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey and stood in the distance looking at the class owner Li Yunxiu who was sitting at the door of the troupe in a daze.

"He's also a share, does Red Mercy want revenge?"

"No, it's good to let him look like this, what's the point of revenge"

Hearing Hong Lian's voice, Lu Liangsheng took the old donkey and squeezed through the crowd to leave, Li Yunxiu, who was far away at the door of the troupe, seemed to feel something, and looked at the market with a blank gaze.

Walking through Hegu County, the distance of twenty or thirty miles is not long, even if he deliberately slows down the foot, he still comes to the village where Hong Lian lived when he was a child at noon.

After so many years, the small mountain village has become more dilapidated, and the young people who have grown stronger have gone to the nearby towns to beg for a living, and the old women and children who stayed behind saw Lu Liangsheng, who was dressed in green clothes and white robes, led the old donkey into the village, and they were a little strange, standing from a distance.

"This offspring is really handsome, what are you doing in our village? I don't know which girl Wow might fall in love with. ”

"What are you talking about, that dress is so expensive at first glance, will the son of a rich family fall in love with the wild girl in the village?"

"What if people like to have big hands and feet, and the waist is thick and strong?"

"Hey, look, what is he doing with an umbrella? Ouch, and he put a toad on his shoulder, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this book. ”

Looking from afar, in the sight of the villagers who were talking to each other, Lu Liangsheng took out the oil-paper umbrella from the bookshelf and opened it, let the old donkey go for a walk by himself, and took the master to the direction guided by Honglian.

The old house that once collapsed is now gone, and the new owner has built a small courtyard here, and the family of three eats in the courtyard lively.

"It's like when the concubine was a child sitting in the courtyard with her father, son, let's go, from here it is the grave of my father's mother and brother. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lu Liangsheng held an umbrella and turned away from the low mud wall, walked through the fields not far away, and came to a small slope forest, where tomb flags were planted on the tombs.

Most of the people in the village are buried here, and the earlier they die, the more they are inside, and through several tombs made of earthen bags, Hong Lian floated out of the paper umbrella and knelt down in front of three large and small graves.

"Dad, Niang Yun'er is back to see you. ”

The sun could not shine through the dense branches and leaves, and Hong Lian knelt in front of the tomb, kowtowing her forehead slightly, the ghost was incorporeal, and there were no tears, but she could still hear the choked cry.

What I want to say, Hong Lian came back for the first time before her death, and she finished talking in front of her father's grave, but now she just knelt and cried, and Lu Liangsheng held an umbrella for her and watched quietly.

The toad on the scholar's shoulder quietly stretched out its webs and wiped it on his face, and when he saw the apprentice looking over, he hurriedly turned to the side.

"Look at what to see, for the teacher's eyes into the sand. ”

"Let's go out and wait, let Honglian stay here with her father and mother more. ”

Lu Liangsheng sighed, hung the paper umbrella above the crying figure with mana, and walked outside to sit down on the ridge, he is also a person with a father, and it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable when he sees such a scene.

However, after only sitting for a while, the cold wind blew behind him, and Hong Lian looked at the surprised Lu Liangsheng with a paper umbrella and smiled.

"It's good to see it, there's nothing to be nostalgic about here, Childe take me home." ”

The home she said was Lujia Village.

"Okay, I'll take you home. ”

Lu Liangsheng nodded and said softly.

Birds across this bright sunshine, grass blades caressing, jingling bells, standing in the village chattering villagers saw the donkey on the back of a distance, a man and a woman holding a paper umbrella snuggled up to each other, in the old donkey's leisurely hooves slowly stepped away, towards Qixia Mountain.
