Last night, after leaving the shaving shop, he randomly found a hotel to rest for the night. In the early morning, Lian Ge got on the urban and rural police car and left the city.

……

"...Then I'll go first, let's talk next time, next time..."

The bus goes forward, stops and stops along the road, and after entering the rolling mountains, fewer people get on the bus, and more and more people get off the bus.

In the car, gradually quiet down,

Driving by the winding mountain road, the chirping of birds hidden in the forest, the rustling of branches and leaves disturbed by the mountain wind, gradually overwhelmed the voices in the car, and rang in Lian Ge's ears through the car window.

……

"...Let's go, get out of the car..."

The bus stopped again, and after another passenger with a child got off, the only passenger in the bus was Lian Ge.

The bus restarted and continued to drive forward.

Outside the car window, the lingering clouds and mist in the valley in the distance gradually dissipated under the rising sun,

The branches and leaves reflected by the sun on the roadside are constantly changing.

……

"...Young man, we've arrived at the terminal."

Next to the road winding around the mountainside, there is a slightly spacious flat land for parking urban and rural buses.

The driver stopped the car, picked up the water glass, and greeted Lian Ge,

Lian Ge looked out of the car window again and got out of the car.

……

Outside the car, there are still some clouds and mist that the sun has not dispelled in the valley in the distance.

The hills stretched out one after another, extending into the distance.

Turning his eyes away, Lian Ge looked at the side of his eyes again,

Going forward, the road winding around the hills has turned into a dirt road mixed with gravel and dirt. It took a long time to see a person from a nearby village with a basket on his back, coming here.

Looking into the distance along the dirt road, Lian Ge moved away again, and continued walking along the dirt road that seemed a little wet from last night's rain and snow.

……

"……sough……"

"Chirp..."

The breeze disturbs the branches and leaves, and rolls the clouds and mists in the valley in the distance,

A few birds landed on the side of the road, leaping lightly from time to time, looking for food among the weeds and bushes beside the dirt road, and singing a few times from time to time.

Along the dirt road, Lian Ge walked forward while looking at the scenery along the way,

The little white mouse on the shoulder also stood upright with its forelimbs, turned its head, and looked around the hills beside the dirt road, as if to see if there were any fruit trees.

After walking for a while, I passed a few villagers carrying fertilizer bags and baskets on their backs. The dirt road under their feet gradually narrowed, and the number of pedestrians passing by became less and less.

Looking forward along the road, it seems that there are no houses or pedestrians in sight.

……

"... chee chee, chee chee..."

I went around another hill, and the forest on the hill beside the dirt road turned into terraced fields where some crops were planted. I could also see some people from nearby villages working in the fields.

Turning its head all the time, the little white mouse who seemed to be looking for a fruit tree but couldn't find it raised its forelimbs again, and barked twice towards the front side,

On the front side, beside the dirt road around the hill, there is an extra fork in the road. That fork is a ramp, and the ramp extends downwards.

Although the sight is blocked by the hills next to the slope, you can see the smoke rising from the meal at the bottom of the slope.

Turning his gaze and looking at the little white mouse, Lian Ge smiled slightly, then looked away, and continued to move towards the fork in the road, while looking at the side of the road, on several hills and terraced fields along the way, there were The people in the nearby villages who are working,

"...Mom, when can we go back..."

"...When all these seedlings are planted and watered again, I will go back."

On a nearby hill, in a terraced field, a little girl wearing a somewhat worn-out padded jacket squatted in the field, holding a small hoe in one hand, digging pits in the field, while stepping back a little. Looking up, looking up at the peasant woman who was right in front of her,

The peasant woman was holding a bunch of vegetable seedlings in her hand, and she was also holding a long ladle to hold water. While putting the vegetable seedlings in the hole dug by the little girl, after filling the soil, and pouring some water, she said to the little girl,

"...But, but, then it's too late..."

The little girl took the hoe and dug another hole. She turned her head and looked behind her, with anxious eyes.

"...What's too late...you hurry up and dig, plant all these vegetable seedlings, we can go back faster..."

"……Oh……"

The little girl lowered her head slowly, nodded, and responded, but her movements were still faster.

"...Then Mom, wait a minute, I won't have lunch..."

"...Damn girl..."

……

Listening to the voices coming from the terraced fields on the hill, Lian Ge looked at that side, paused for a moment, then turned his gaze back,

Continuing to move towards the fork in the road, the smile on Lian Ge's face gradually faded.

……

Going down the fork, a ramp connects to the valley below the ramp,

The valley is surrounded by hills on all sides, and every family is scattered at the bottom of the valley.

House after house, smoke is rising,

Busy, the women turning up the grain in the yard, the man returning from the field with a hoe, and a few barefoot children on the village road were chasing and playing.

After taking a look, Lian Ge moved away and walked down the ramp towards the village in the valley.

Chapter 567

"...Come back, put on your shoes, don't be afraid of the cold..."

In a yard, a woman wearing an apron came out of the main room, and greeted a little boy who was playing in the next yard.

"... Mom, Mom, have you eaten yet..."

The little boy in the yard next door was bouncing, and then ran back quickly. While wearing the shoes his mother handed him, he poked his head, looked into the room, and asked aloud,

"...The meal is ready, but we have to wait a little longer. We will have dinner when your father comes back."

The woman wearing an apron handed the shoes to the little boy. After seeing the little boy put them on, she said in response, walking back into the main room.

"...What time will it be?"

The little boy followed into the main room, turned around again, poked his head out, looked at the road on both sides,

"I guess it will be 01:30."

"...01:30...then mom, can I eat earlier?"

"...What, I'm hungry..."

……

Along the slope, down to the village at the bottom of the valley,

From the entrance of the village, along the road in front of every house in the village, Lian Ge walked towards the village, looking at the houses along the way, listening to the mixed voices,

This village is not too closed. Along the village road, most of the bungalows are built of bricks and covered with black tiles, and there are also many buildings.

Or after a snowfall last night, today is a rare good weather, and most of the yards of every household are sun-dried, open to the millet and grain.

Some villagers are either drying millet in the yard, or folding vegetables by the eaves, and busy in the kitchen.

On the road in the village, from time to time, after eating, or just coming back from the fields, the villagers walked by with vegetables in their hands, a dustpan, and a hoe. They cast sideways glances, and after they passed by, they turned around and started to work on their own.

Behind the houses of each family, there is either smoke rising from the kitchen, or some poultry crowing from time to time.

Listening to the voices rang in his ears with the breeze blowing through the valley, Lian Ge glanced at the yard, then turned his eyes away, and continued walking along the road in the village.

……

"... bang bang!"

"...Mr. Chen, open the door for me!"

On the side of the road, there was a dull knock on the door,

Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked there,

That is the family on the side of the village road,

In the yard, there are some fallen leaves, which seem to have not been tidied up for a long time.

A man in some thin clothes was slamming on the door of this house aggressively with an angry expression on his face. He was still holding a hoe with some wet mud on it.

"...I have already asked. The villagers saw you coming back to the house. If you don't open the door for me, I will smash the door for you today!"

"... bang bang!"

While talking, the man took the back of the hoe and knocked on the door again,

"...Eh, eh...not to smash the door, not to smash the door...Brother Xu, Brother Xu...If you smash my door...my door is worth a lot of money, so I can't say What do you pay for..."

It seemed that he heard the sound of a man banging on the door with a hoe, and the closed door was pulled open from the inside. A thin man, while holding the door, nodded and bowed while talking with a smile. , and poked his head out, looking at the facade, as if to see if there were any traces left on the door,

"...Stop talking nonsense to me, hurry up and return the money to me, or I will kill you today!"

The man picked up the hoe with both hands, stared at the skinny man inside the door, and said angrily,

"...Brother Xu, Brother Xu, I really don't have it, I really don't... I don't have any money, so you can't force me to pay for it. We're not the hen that lays golden eggs... If I will lay golden eggs, so I must give you one first, Brother Xu, right..."

The skinny man behind the door couldn't help shrinking back first, and then, seeing that the man's hoe hadn't been raised, he put on a playful smile again, saying,

"...Brother Xu, Brother Xu, my dear brother, you have watched me grow up since you were a child, and your relationship with me is so close...By the way, when my father was still there, he helped you, right? Let's go...Brother Xu, Brother Xu, give me a few more days... just three days, at most three days, I will even give you back the principal with interest..."

"...Stop fucking nonsense!"

The man picked up the hoe, took the hoe and stamped on the skinny man's feet,

"... Whoops, whoops..."

The skinny man shrank in pain at first, then sat down on the ground and lay down,

"... beat someone, beat someone, Mr. Xu beat someone, killed someone..."

The skinny man was crying and howling dryly,

The family next door heard the commotion outside, leaned out from the door and looked out, and then retracted again, closing the door behind them.

"... beat someone, beat someone...Xu Er Er beat someone..."

The skinny man was still lying on the ground, howling dryly,

The man held the hoe, first looked at him coldly, followed closely, then raised the hoe,

"...Give me the money now, or I will kill you right now!"

As he spoke, the man slammed the hoe on the ground, between the skinny man's legs.

"...Second Xu, what are you doing, Second Xu... Do you know that murder is a crime..."

The skinny man shrank back in fright, quickly got up from the ground again,

"... Pay back the money!"

The man was holding a hoe, his eyes were red, and he stared coldly at the skinny man, as if the next hoe was about to hit the skinny man on the head.

"...Brother Xu, Brother Xu...I have some money, but it's not enough to pay you back..."

The skinny man quickly nodded and bowed, and said,

"...How about you wait another two days, just two days... I have made an appointment with someone, and I will definitely get back the money after two days. Brother Xu will return your money to you with interest... ..."

The skinny man straightened up while talking,
