"...Just this time, you can't just lie on the ground in the future..."

While talking, the woman squatted down beside the little boy,

"Okay!" The little boy replied with a smile.

"Dad, keep peeling the corn. When I'm sleeping, I want to hear the sound of you peeling the corn, so that I can feel that I'm always by my side." The little boy raised his head and called out to his father.

"Eh, well..."

The middle-aged man also stood up from the ground, turned around,

"Thank you, sir."

Seeing the figure of Lian Ge by the yard again, the middle-aged man said gratefully,

The woman squatting under the eaves heard the man's voice, and also noticed Lian Ge's figure,

Looking at Lian Ge, then at the little boy beside him, he also reacted,

"...Thank you, sir, thank you for allowing me to see Xiaomu again..."

"...Brother, thank you, thank you for taking me home." The little boy also sat up and said to Lian Ge.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge turned around, glanced at the family, smiled slightly,

Shaking his head, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked up to the three of them.

"It's rare for your family to be reunited, so I won't bother you anymore, and it's time to go."

"...Sir, how can this work, we haven't been able to thank you properly..." The man heard the words and asked to stay,

"Yes, sir, please stay for a while, let us treat you well and express our thanks..." The woman also said aloud.

Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head, handed back the water bowl in his hand to the middle-aged man,

"Enough is enough."

"This..." The middle-aged man took the water bowl and wanted to make another sound to keep it,

"...For the rest of the time, spend time with the children." Lian Ge glanced at the family, paused,

"You still have half an hour."

The sound was not loud, but the couple and the little boy in the courtyard could hear it clearly.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's movements stopped, and then he turned his head and looked at his child.

"...Then sir, let me see you off."

"Need not."

Looking at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge shook his head, turned around and walked out of the yard without staying any longer.

"……gentlemen……"

Behind him, the middle-aged man called out to Lian Ge,

"thanks……"

Looking at Lian Ge's back, the middle-aged man whispered again.

……

"...Then Xiaomu, lie down obediently, and mother will hum a song to you."

"it is good!"

Under the eaves, the little boy responded and lay down,

The woman looked at the little boy, and also squatted down,

The middle-aged man sat down by the steps, picked up a stalk of corn, and while peeling off the kernels with his rough hands, he turned his head and looked at the little boy lying under the eaves.

"... sleep, sleep... my dear baby..."

Squatting beside the little boy, the woman smiled on her face, looked at the little boy, hummed softly, and stretched out her hand to pat the little boy's chest lightly.

Listening to his mother humming, the little boy slowly closed his eyes, moved his body a little comfortably, with a smile on his face,

"... sleep, sleep... my dear... baby."

The woman looked at her sleeping son with her eyes closed, and looked at this face, her eyes were red again, with tears in her eyes.

……

The woman's humming sound, mixed with the sound of peeling corn kernels, rang in the yard, accompanied by the breeze passing through the forest in the distance, which made the yard even quieter.

By the courtyard, the little boy was taking a nap, his mother was humming and patting his chest, his father was peeling corn, looking at his wife and children with a smile...

……

Listening to the sound of the wind in the distance,

On the dirt road, Lian Ge, who was walking out of the valley, paused for a moment.

Slightly raised his head, looked into the distance, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, felt the breeze,

After a pause, Lian Ge still used his mana and poured a mana into the underworld communicator in his pocket,

"Let's go."

Withdrawing his hand, Lian Ge said softly, and moved his footsteps again,

"Squeak... squeak."

After stepping out of the village, Lian Ge continued to walk out of the valley. The figures of a man and a mouse gradually faded away, and the village in the valley went away.

Chapter 241

Along the winding and rugged dirt road, all the way up,

The rising sun is gradually rising upwards,

The sunlight that swayed down, through the shade of the mud roadside, dappled and irradiated to the ground,

Following the gusts of breeze that disturbed the branches and leaves, Lian Ge stepped out of the valley where the village was located, without haste.

……

"Squeak, squeak..."

Stepping on the winding hills again and passing through the forest road, Lian Ge slightly stamped his feet, looked behind him,

The little white mouse on the shoulder also turned its head and looked around.

"Let's go..."

Looking away from the distance behind, Lian Ge moved his footsteps again, and continued to walk along the winding mountain road.

……

There were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and it took a long time before some nearby villagers walked past Lian Ge with their backpacks on their backs, raised their heads and looked sideways at Lian Ge,

Beside the road, or flanked by hills, or close to one side,

When the road passes between two hills, dense branches and leaves intertwine on the top of the hill, and together with the mountain, the road is covered in the shade of trees.

When coiling around one side of the hill, in the valley in the distance, on the mountainside, the lingering clouds and mists come into view,

Looking at the mountain scenery along the way, the figures of a man and a mouse are gradually drifting away on the winding mountain road,

The hills gradually approached from a distance, passed by the side, and gradually moved away behind them.

……

The rising sun gradually climbed into the sky, and then gradually slanted westward,

After going along the winding road and passing through several forks,

On the mountain road, it gradually became a little noisy again. From time to time, there were vehicles passing by, and there were more nearby villagers carrying woven bags or carrying baskets, waiting for the car.

"...the county seat, the county seat..."

Passing by a fork again, many villagers gathered on the side of the road. From time to time, some vans and old buses passed by the side of the road. The people in the car poked their heads out of the windows and looked towards the villagers waiting on the side of the road. shouted,

"...Go to the county seat, pass by the county seat station, does anyone go to the county seat station..."

"...Brother, do you want to go? There is the last vacant seat."

A van parked beside Lian Ge, sitting in the co-pilot, a middle-aged woman with a shoulder bag poked her head out of the window and shouted at Lian Ge,

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge paused, looked inside the car through the car window, there were some nearby villagers sitting in the rear two rows of seats, some of them hugged their back baskets in their arms, or tucked their feet away, reluctantly Put the woven bag under your feet,

From the back side, in the woven bag, some ducks could be heard from time to time,

The entire back two rows were already full of people, and it seemed a little crowded.

"...Brother, it costs seven yuan to go to the county seat."

While talking, the middle-aged woman who was the co-pilot got out of the car and gave up the co-pilot position.

"Sit in the front row if you want to go."

Glancing at the middle-aged woman, Lian Ge nodded, took out a banknote from his pocket, and handed it over.

"...Here, brother, this is your change." The middle-aged woman rummaged through her shoulder bag, smiled and handed the change to Lian Ge,

Taking it over, Lian Ge got into the co-pilot,

After the middle-aged woman helped close the car door, she took a few steps back and stood by the road.

……

"...Little brother, aren't you from around here?"

The van restarted and drove towards the county town along the winding mountain road. The smoking driver drove the car, glanced at Lian Ge who was sitting in the co-pilot, stubbed out the cigarette in his mouth, and said loudly. asked,

"...A tourist? Why did you come to this remote place like ours?"

"Small places also have the scenery of small places." Looking at the mountain scenery passing by outside the car window, Lian Ge said casually,

"...That's right. If you want to say that the scenery here is not bad, if you want mountains and water, it's at the border with Ezhou...go over there, it's Ezhou..."

The driver seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, and kept talking,

"...Brother, this white mouse is your pet. It looks pretty pretty."

"Squeak..."

"Hey, it's quite spiritual... By the way, little brother, look where you are getting off. If you are on the way, I will pull you there directly, and you don't need to change cars."

"Let's find a restaurant along the way."

Glancing at the little white mouse on his shoulder, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and said,

"...Hey, little brother, you haven't eaten yet. If you want to talk about the restaurants in the county town, I understand... There are no high-end places in our remote village, but there are quite a few delicious ones... Long The pig-headed people at night stalls on the street, the roast chicken at Chang's restaurant..."

The driver's excited voice was mixed with the back row of the car, and the sound of ducks calling from time to time, and the sound of chatting with the villagers rang in the car.

Along the winding road, facing the shade of trees along the road, the car gradually approached the county seat.

……

"...Brother, it's here."

More than [-] minutes later, Lian Ge got off the car again at a street entrance in the county close to Ezhou.

Watching the van start up again, Lian Ge turned his gaze, walked down the street, and looked at the county town.

This county town is not considered prosperous. Looking around, there are not many towering buildings. There are also old and new buildings intertwined on the street in front of you.

Not far away, on the side of the street, is a restaurant. The restaurant is not big. The signboard hanging on the door is obviously old, the handwriting is a little faded, and there are some traces of rain.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge moved his steps and walked into the restaurant.

……

It's past the meal time, there are not many people in the restaurant, there are only a few tables of people scattered around the restaurant,

Leaning against the door were a few middle-aged men who were a little drunk, or leaned back on the seat and fell asleep, or pressed each other's hand, fighting for brotherhood with red faces,

Leaning against the left window, the chef and waiter of the restaurant are talking and eating.

And on the right side, on the innermost dining table, there is another table sitting. There is an older young woman and a younger young man. There are some dishes on the table in front of them, but both of them are Without moving chopsticks, just talking,
