On the side, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man in ecstasy, turned his gaze, and looked at the distance outside the house through the open door of the main room.

"Brother, when I entered the house just now, I saw that the Spring Festival couplets on your door seemed to have been torn."

Holding the cup of tea, Lian Ge said calmly.

Hearing this, the smile on the middle-aged man's face gradually faded, and he fell silent.

"...someone in the family died."

Looking at the little girl who was still happily eating the apple, the middle-aged man just said aloud,

Pausing again, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Lian Ge,

"...Young man, the tea is cold, let me pour you another glass."

Looking at the cup of tea in Lian Singer, the middle-aged man said aloud,

"no need."

Glancing at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge smiled slightly, and put the untouched cup of tea on the table beside him,

"Then...it's almost noon, young man, do you want to eat something?"

The middle-aged man asked again,

"no need,"

Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man, stood up from the stool,

"Thank you brother for this cup of tea. I have enough rest, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Young man, I'm sorry... I still have some things to do here... If you're going to the city, the bus should come just about right now."

The middle-aged man nodded, said aloud, and at the same time moved away, walked towards the door of the main room,

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge glanced at the main room again, and the little girl who was eating apples and looking at Lian Ge curiously, connected to the door leading to the backyard, and walked out of the main room.

……

"Young man, go slowly."

The middle-aged man stood inside the door and said to Lian Ge,

"It's annoying."

Looking at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge said with a smile.

"Squeak, squeak..."

And at this moment, the little white mouse with its forelimbs yelled at the middle-aged man twice,

The middle-aged man turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked at the little white mouse.

"...Young man, you little white mouse..." Opening his mouth, the middle-aged man looked at the little white mouse and said aloud,

"It said you smelled of blood."

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man and said,

Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but pause,

Then, with a smile on his face,

"...Young man, you are joking. I haven't killed ducks or chickens recently. Where does the smell of blood come from... The bus to the city will be here soon."

Glancing at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge smiled and didn't say anything more.

Turning around, he stepped out of the yard and walked out of the village along the village road.

Chapter 314 The Lost Ant

Standing by the door of the main room, the middle-aged man watched Lian Ge gradually go away, and only looked away when he knew that he had completely disappeared from sight.

Standing where he was, he paused slightly, the middle-aged man turned around,

Stretching out his hand, he pulled the door of the main room that was open next to him. The middle-aged man closed the main room again and closed the door bolt from the inside.

In the room without the lights on, like the backyard, it suddenly darkened,

"Fourth Uncle, what are you doing closing the door?"

The little girl was eating the apple, noticed the change, raised her head towards the middle-aged man by the door, and asked crisply,

The middle-aged man fixed the latch, turned around when he heard the sound, looked at the little girl, and replied with a smile,

"It's windy outside, Yunyun is wearing thin clothes, I close the door, lest Yunyun catch a cold from the wind."

"That's it." The little girl looked at the middle-aged man, nodded heavily, then lowered her head, and continued to eat the apple,

"If Yunyun is afraid of the dark, fourth uncle will turn on the light for you,"

"Yunyun is not afraid of the dark, it's dark, you can't see anything." The little girl took another bite of the apple, raised her head and said,

"...Yunyun is so brave, your sister Ruirui was very afraid of the dark before."

First he said something to the little girl with a smile, then the middle-aged man's eyes moved up slightly, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was lost in memory,

"Is sister Ruirui afraid of the dark... and sister Ruirui, is it because it's too dark here that sister Ruirui is not here? Mom said that sister Ruirui went to a far away place, and father said that sister Ruirui died,

What is death? Can you go to a far away place after death? Where is the far away place? "

The little girl held the apple in her hand, raised her head, and said crisply, with some doubts in her clean eyes,

"By the way, sister Ruirui also likes apples very much. Let's save one for her. She will be sad if she can't eat apples."

The little girl was talking, holding the apple she had gnawed in one hand, padded her feet, raised her head, and picked up the apple from the plate again with the other hand,

"This one, this one is the biggest one left, it must be the tastiest..."

Picking up the apple, the little girl said while putting the apple aside,

"And this one... well, leave another one for Sister Ruirui."

Putting another apple to the side, the little girl withdrew her hand, looked at the two slightly larger apples, and smiled happily,

"...No, don't leave it to Sister Ruirui."

The middle-aged man turned his head back, looked at the two apples that were laid out separately, and then at the little girl, with a smile on his face, he shook his head,

"Why don't you keep it? Sister Ruirui doesn't like eating apples?" The little girl's eyes showed doubts,

"...Because, your sister Ruirui has gone to a far away place, and when she comes back, the apple Yunyun left for her has already been destroyed."

The middle-aged man looked at the little girl and said,

"That's it..." The little girl frowned, looking at the two apples,

"So, let's eat Yunyun."

"Hmm." The little girl nodded heavily, then raised her head again, looking at the middle-aged man and asked crisply,

"Then I'll plant this apple. When the apple tree grows up, can Sister Ruirui come back, so that I can treat her to eat apples."

Hearing the little girl's question, the middle-aged man paused, but didn't answer, just looked at the little girl with a smile.

Did not get the answer, the little girl looked puzzled, moved her head, but didn't ask any more, raised the apple in her hand, and continued to eat.

"Yunyun, are the apples delicious?" The middle-aged man squatted down, looked at the little girl and asked,

"It's delicious." The little girl raised her head, eating the apple, and replied crisply,

Looking at the happy little girl eating the apple, the middle-aged man showed a smile on his face, and looked at the little girl in a daze.

"Uncle Four...Uncle Four...Are you okay?"

"...it's okay,"

The middle-aged man looked at the little girl who was looking at him with concern, and after a moment of silence, he responded with a smile,

"Does Yunyun need uncle to remove the apple peel for you?" Looking at the apple in the little girl's hand, the middle-aged man asked aloud,

"Can you?" Looking at the middle-aged man, the little girl said expectantly,

"can."

The middle-aged man responded with a smile, then stood up, first walked to an old TV set on the inner wall of the main room, and turned on the TV.

Then, in the somewhat dim room, the TV screen lights mixed and flickered,

"Then Yunyun will watch TV here first, and uncle will fetch a knife for Yunyun and peel apples for Yunyun."

"it is good!"

The little girl responded crisply, sat down on the stool, held the apple in her hand, and watched the flickering TV.

After pausing again, the middle-aged man looked at the little girl, his eyes dazed for a while,

Immediately after, he remained silent and walked into the even darker backyard.

……

outside the hall,

Lian Ge, who applied the invisibility technique to himself and the little white mouse, stamped his feet slightly,

Looking at the closed door of the main room, listening to the sound of TV, voices, and footsteps mixed inside,

After a pause again, Lian Ge moved his steps, stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door of the main room, which had been bolted from behind the door, was pushed open as if it had been concealed.

In the main room, the little girl heard the movement, turned her head, and looked at Lian Ge, with curiosity and doubt in her eyes,

The dim main room also became bright again with the opening of the main room door.

Stepping into the main room, behind Lian Ge, the door of the main room closed again by itself, the door bolt was pushed up,

Looking at the little girl, Lian Ge smiled slightly, put his hand to his mouth, and signaled the little girl to keep quiet.

The little girl looked at Lian Ge, moved her head, did not speak, but her eyes were more curious, and her eyes followed Lian Ge closely.

……

"Yunyun, is the TV good?"

The middle-aged man came out of the dark backyard again, with a butcher's knife with a wooden handle in his hand,

The iron nail that fixed the blade on the wooden handle was still stained with rust.

"nice……"

The little girl turned her head back, followed the sound to look at the middle-aged man, and responded crisply,

"Then Yunyun will watch TV first, and fourth uncle will help Yunyun peel apples."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took a fruit-peeling knife and walked towards the dining table behind the little girl.

"Okay!" The little girl answered crisply, turned her head again, and looked around the room, but her eyes became more and more puzzled.

"What is Yunyun looking at?" The middle-aged man peeled an apple, looked at the little girl and asked,

The little girl hesitated, shook her head,

"I didn't see anything."

"Then Yunyun can concentrate on watching TV for a while, Fourth Uncle will be peeling the fruit right away."

"Okay!" The little girl responded crisply, turned her head, and looked at the TV.

In the main room, the TV screen was flickering, mixed with various colors,

At the dining table, the middle-aged man peeling fruit is also reflected on his body, intertwined with the colors reflected on various TV screens,

Looking at the little girl, the middle-aged man's gaze was ecstatic, a little dazed,

There was a smile on his face at first, and then the smile faded away.

Silently, the middle-aged man looked down at the peeled apple and the knife in his hand,

He raised his head again and looked at the little girl who was concentrating on watching TV.

After a pause, the middle-aged man moved away and walked towards the little girl step by step.

"...Uncle Four, do you think that ant can come out?"

The little girl who was watching TV suddenly asked,
