my land god boyfriend

Chapter 3

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone got up very early, even though they usually get up very early, and firecrackers sounded from every household.Xia Youning was also called up early to help prepare the food for worshiping the gods, and set up a table in the middle hall of the house to worship the family ancestors. Grandma Xia took Xia Youning and walked to the new temple with food and incense candles.

Many people came out on the road, some went to the new temple, and some returned after worshiping the gods.People along the way greeted and chatted with Grandma Xia. When they arrived, there were already many people in the temple waiting for the people in front to leave to make room for the altar.Entering the temple, the incense tripod was filled with incense candles, and the remaining smoke curled up, and someone was lighting a cannon in the open space in front of the temple.Grandma Xia joined the queue and started chatting with the people in front and behind.

"Grandma Xia, is this your grandson?" A person who looked like an aunt was carrying a basket and looked over.

"Yes, yes, my grandson, he had a holiday after work yesterday, so he came back to visit us."

"You are so handsome, where do you work? Are you married?"

"Ayou, this is your grandson's cousin."

"Hello, Auntie, I work in a game company and I'm not married yet." When it's over, I know that it's like this when I go home and go out to see relatives. From childhood, I asked about my grades, then asked about my girlfriend, and then asked about my job and asked about my marriage. In the end, I have to find a place to hide for a while, otherwise this relative will come over later. "Auntie, I'll take a look outside. The place has changed too much. You can call me later, cousin Auntie, you can talk slowly."

Xia Youning hurried to the outside, let out a sigh of relief, the crackling of the firecrackers stopped and started again, yesterday it was still very quiet here, but now it is so lively, the sound spread to the surrounding bamboo forest and came back again, the sound became louder.

Going to the side and looking around, I saw the Earth Temple. The contrast is very obvious, one big and one small, one new and one old, one noisy and one quiet.I looked at the adults waiting for the team at the door, and at the children setting off firecrackers. The pungent smell of burning firecrackers and the choking white smoke made people cry. I saw a boy in red clothes in the crowd, with a head on his head. Short hair, white and clean, only the corners of his mouth are slightly pursed, which is particularly conspicuous in the crowd.Someone finished firing the cannon again, white smoke drifted past, Xia Youning choked for a while, then opened his eyes, the young man in red was no longer in the crowd.

Xia Youning walked over, and his height advantage made it easy for him to find someone in the crowd, but he still didn't see the young man, as if he was just blinded by a hazy hallucination.Xia Youning was walking towards the Earth Temple with fruits in his hands. Several children were playing in front of the temple, and then they were scolded by adults to leave. He vaguely heard the adults who dragged the children say, "The Earth Temple is dangerous. The things placed in the Earth Temple I don’t see it often.” “The Earth Temple is so dilapidated, what should I do if it collapses and overwhelms people?” “Why is it still not demolished.”

Xia Youning approached the temple and saw signs that the temple had been cleaned, and the oranges that were on the altar table yesterday were gone.He took out the fruits from the bag, not only oranges, but also others, put them on the altar, put his hands together, and bowed.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Xia Youning turned her head and looked down. It was a little girl. "I'm worshiping the land father."

"Why do you worship the father-in-law of the land? We don't do it now. The gods in the temple next door are beautiful. My parents both go there to worship. It's dirty and old, and no one will come here." The little girl kept talking. Stop, "And you put such a good fruit here, it's a waste! It will be taken away by others, and I don't know who will come to take it, and my mother has always cleaned the temple, and no one has come to clean it for a long time , How did it become clean today?"

The little girl's chatter was always in her ears, Xia Youning rolled her eyes unconsciously, and when she heard Grandma shouting, she didn't care about praying anymore, picked up the bag and turned around, pushed the little girl, "Let's go, let's go!" , I’m going next door to worship the gods, so don’t stay here.” Then the two left the Earth Temple.

After finally worshiping the gods, and returning home, Xia Youning spread out on the sofa.

"Isn't it just to worship the gods, why are you so tired?" Grandpa sitting on the side was smoking a hookah, watching me wish I could close my eyes and fall asleep,

"It's not tiring to worship God, it's just tiring to chat."

"Don't tell me, it's true. Your grandma is very good at chatting. Once you argue with her, it will be endless."

"Old man Xia, what are you talking about?" Grandma Xia stood in front of Grandpa Xia with her waist in her arms. "My grandson is very popular. Why don't I show off to the villagers?"

"It's okay, grandma, grandpa just thinks you'll be tired." Xia Youning hurriedly shouted, if grandma gets into a fight, she can be very noisy, and the words don't repeat themselves.After Grandma Xia left, Xia Youning continued to lie down with Ge You, touched her trouser pockets and wanted to play with her mobile phone, but it was gone.

"Oh, my phone is gone." I got up quickly and looked through my pockets carefully, and it was indeed gone.

"Why did it disappear? Did it fall somewhere?" Elderly people feel distressed whenever they lose something, let alone a mobile phone that they think is very expensive.Grandpa Xia sat up, "Did it fall in the new temple?"

"It should be, I'll look for it." Thinking of the simple folk customs here, it's unlikely that someone would steal something, it's only possible that I accidentally dropped it somewhere. "Grandpa, I'm going out first. When Grandma asks, you tell her that I'm out."

"Got it, got it, hurry up." Grandpa Xia waved his hand, "The weather in summer can change quickly enough, it's still sunny in the morning, but it's cloudy this time, and it looks like it's going to rain." Then he stood Get up, walk to the gate and shout at Xia Youning's back, "Ayou, hurry up and come back, this day is going to change."

Xia Youning is not in a hurry for someone to take his mobile phone, and all the information in it is also backed up. It's just that modern people are used to mobile phones. Even if they don't play games, they can't do without a mobile phone by their side. It feels like the whole person has lost his soul.

Walking on the way to the Earth Temple, it was almost lunch time and people had already left, and the day was cloudy, the wind stopped, and it felt like it was going to rain heavily.Xia Youning looked at the side of the road while walking, afraid that the phone would drop by the side of the road.I walked all the way to the new temple, but I didn't see the phone.I knew that I would not set the mute, and there was no sound when I called.

Xia Youning walked into the new temple and looked through the temple carefully. There was nothing on the altar, nothing on the altar, and nothing beside the incense cauldron.Where will the phone be?Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed, followed by loud thunder, and the wind began to whine.Will it be in the Earth Temple?Xia Youning thought.Then I walked to the Temple of Earth. The Temple of Earth is so small that you can see it at a glance. There is still no mobile phone, and the fruits that were put up in the morning are gone. I think some villager took it away.Xia Youning looked around, the ground was covered with debris from firecrackers, and there was no cell phone in sight.

While thinking about it, the rain fell as soon as it said it would, and it hit the bamboo leaves crackling. Xia Youning had no choice but to hide in the earth temple.It was raining heavily, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of my eyes.It seems that the mobile phone can't be found, even if it is not taken away, if it is left in a corner, the mobile phone will have to be scrapped after the heavy rain.

When Xia Youning lowered his head, he saw something approaching out of the corner of his eye. Looking up, a man in red linen trousers and cloth shoes was walking down the path holding a flower umbrella. The umbrella blocked his face, and he could only see his jaw.His skin is very white, his clothes and pants are very old, and even the umbrella looks very see-through, as if it can block such a heavy rain.

Sure enough, when this man walked towards Xia Youning and entered the earth temple, he put away his umbrella, his hair was covered with water, and his shoes and trousers were inevitably soaked.This person is really white and clean, it is hard to imagine that he is from this village, even when he walks over, he has a lazy and elegant temperament, as if he is the incarnation of the bamboo forest.

The boy put away the umbrella, Xia Youning looked at the person beside him, he looked like he had just grown up, his wet hair dripped down his eyelids and cheeks, the man turned his head and smiled at Xia Youning, Xia Youning felt that this Where have people seen it, and more than once.I can see this person's appearance clearly, with slender eyebrows, phoenix eyes, straight nose, thin lips, and a faint mole on the tip of his nose, because his complexion is too fair, so people can see the mole on the tip of his nose. mole.

"What are you doing here? It was going to rain just now, why did you come out?" Xia Youning looked at the person in front of him, seeing his hair dripping, and felt the urge to dry him off, but where is the towel available now? It would be even more troublesome for him to do this if he was considered indecent, even if he wasn't stupid.But I still want to brush his hair.

"What about you? What are you doing here?" The boy didn't answer but asked instead.

"I lost my mobile phone. It may have been accidentally dropped when I came to worship the temple just now. I came here to look for it. I didn't expect the rain to fall as soon as it said, so I came here to hide from the rain."

"Mobile phone?" The boy tilted his head as if he didn't know what a mobile phone was, and looked at me suspiciously.

"It's the Guo 10, with a black phone case."

The boy still didn't seem to understand, but he took out his pocket, and what he took out was my mobile phone. "You mean this?"

"Ah! My phone!"

The young man handed me the phone, "I picked this up, um, the phone, I want to send it back to you, but I can't go to your house, so I have to come back, I want to wait and see here, maybe you will come back and look for it."

"Ah, thank you! Are you from this village too? Why don't I have an impression of you? You are so... well, so impressive. I will definitely remember your appearance once I see you." I looked He looked at his phone, checked that there was nothing wrong with it, and put it back in his pocket.

"Uh... I'm from this village, but I seldom come out, so it's possible that you haven't seen me."

"Is your home nearby?"

"Yes, nearby... not far away..."

After speaking, the two fell silent.Looking at the unabated rain, Xia Youning thought to herself, it's lunch time, and if the rain doesn't stop, Grandma will have to wait again.He took out his mobile phone and made a call back, "Hey, grandma, um, I found it, someone picked it up and sent it to me, um, it's raining too much, I can't go back now, no need, no need, don't pick me up, this The road is slippery in rainy days, what should I do if I fall, wait a minute, summer rain always doesn’t last long..."

"Is your family coming to pick you up?" the boy asked.

"No, it's raining and the road is slippery. They haven't cooked the rice yet. I'm afraid the rain will subside if they cook it."

"Ah."

"Where do you live? Otherwise, I will hold an umbrella with you and take you home first, and I will borrow your umbrella for use. I will send the umbrella back after I finish eating."

"Hmm..." The young man lowered his eyes and thought about it. Looking at it from this angle, his eyelashes are long and curled, like a brush, casting shadows on the lower eyelids. "You take the umbrella away, I'll wait for the rain to stop before leaving."

"Aren't you going home for dinner?" Xia Youning was very puzzled.

"I'm the only one in my house. It doesn't matter if I go back or not." After speaking, the boy handed me the umbrella.

"Well, even though we are meeting for the first time, we are sheltering from the rain under the same roof. Since there is no one in your house, I will lend you an umbrella. If I leave you here alone, I will not be kind. Why don't you come home and have dinner with me."

"I..." The boy hesitated, it was obvious that he wanted to go, but he had no worries.

"Don't worry, my grandma is the most gentle, they are very happy to have someone come to visit."

"That's not what I'm worried about. I want to go, but before I go, can you pay homage to this earth temple?"

Worship the earth temple?Although Xia Youning was puzzled for a moment, his reaction was also quick, "Yes, no problem." After that, he turned around and took out an orange from his pocket, "Hey, I took it before going out, I always feel like I have to come here to see it Look." Put the oranges on the altar, put your palms together, and prayed three times very reverently.

"Are you ready?" Xia Youning looked at the boy after paying his respects, the boy nodded and handed the umbrella to Xia Youning.

Looking outside, the rain seems to be a little less.Xia Youning opened the umbrella, and the boy also entered under the umbrella, and the two walked out side by side.
