Fengqi Nancheng

The efficiency of the two of them is not low, and they quickly packed up all the things that should be packed.Previously, Lin Heng considered that the journey back to his hometown was relatively remote, there was no direct vehicle, and it would be troublesome to transfer with luggage, so he made a special trip to find his father to borrow a car, but now it seems that he will not need it.With Nan Yucheng around, the matter of driving is basically out of his hands.

Lin Heng was also happy to be at leisure, and told Nan Yucheng the address, and Nan Yucheng called out the navigation, he didn't need him to guide the way at all, and the journey was very leisurely.

Because of consecutive dreams the night before, Lin Heng didn't sleep well, and he started to feel sleepy soon after getting in the car.Nan Yucheng watched his head leaning against the car window little by little, feeling a little irritable: "If you want to be sleepy, go to sleep at the back."

Lin Heng let out an "oh", Nan Yucheng stopped the car, and he ran to the back seat to curl up in a daze, and soon fell asleep with the slight bump of the car.

It was a good night's sleep.When he woke up, the car had already stopped. Lin Heng looked outside, and he should have reached the edge of the small town in his hometown.

Nan Yucheng parked the car on the side of the road, leaning against the car door and smoking quietly, Lin Heng sat in the car and stared at him silently for a while, then poked his head out of the car: "Why did you put The car is parked here?"

Nan Yucheng flicked the cigarette ash, and said casually: "I don't know the way."

Lin Heng was delighted: "The navigation is useless?"

"It's been able to bring me here is considered supernormal." Nan Yucheng glanced at the closed navigation in the car: "It's too remote here, and the navigation can only take me to the edge of the town. It's up to you." At this point, he looked at Lin Heng lightly: "Are you awake?"

Had he been waiting for himself to wake up and show the way?Thinking of this, Lin Heng was a little embarrassed: "Well, I didn't sleep well last night, I was too sleepy." After a pause, he said again: "How long have you been waiting for me?"

"Just a while." Nan Yucheng extinguished the cigarette, turned around and got into the car, and said while starting the car, "Guide the way. Let's go to the place to eat early. I'm starving to death."

Only then did Lin Heng lower his head to check the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.They set off at eleven o'clock in the morning, and it has been five hours now. When they went out in the morning, they ate something in a hurry to fill their stomachs, and they should have been hungry by now.

But according to Lin Heng’s previous experience of going back to his hometown, four hours is more than enough to drive from his place to his hometown’s residence, but now it has taken more than five hours and they are still on the edge of the town, so it’s not hard to imagine, Nan Yu Cheng stopped the car and waited for him for more than an hour.

If he didn't wake up, wouldn't he have to wait hungry?

For some reason, as soon as such thoughts popped up, Lin Heng felt an indescribable sweetness in his heart.

With Lin Heng guiding the way, the two soon arrived at Lin Heng's hometown.

The old house is located on the edge of the town.It faces the river in the north and the small town in the south.There are endless fields to the east, and a large bamboo forest to the west. It is always cool to hide in the bamboo forest every summer.

The house is a small building built decades ago.It is two stories high, with a square yard, and two doors at the front and back.The front door faces the direction of the town, and the back door leans against the small river outside.Only a hundred or so steps away is the river.

Lin Heng lived here for a while when he was a child, and he is quite familiar with everything around him.When he got here, he told Nan Yucheng some old history of his family:

The land used to build the house was handed down from the generation of Grandpa Taizu, with a history of nearly 200 years.

Originally, an old courtyard house was built on this land. It was built when the grandpa of the great ancestor was the landlord. It is very grand and well-known in the local area.However, as time went by, the family declined several times in the middle, and the house was not repaired properly, so it gradually became dilapidated.And when an earthquake struck decades ago, the entire yard was almost turned into ruins.

Lin Heng's grandfather was young at that time.After wandering outside for 20 years with the inheritance left by my grandpa, I brought my wife and children back to the hometown. Just in time for the old house to collapse completely, my grandfather decided to build a small building on this open space with a wave of his hand.

However, because my grandfather wandered outside and got used to the pace of life in the big city, he didn't stay in the small town for long, and then moved out with his family.

The younger brother, who is the same mother as the grandfather, stayed and lived in the house built by the grandfather.Grandpa also comes back here every year to pay homage to his ancestors.After the reform and opening up, people's thinking also changed, and people in the small town slowly began to run out. In the end, only my grandfather's brother, that is, Lin Heng's uncle, still insisted on living in that place.

Later, when grandpa passed away, Lin Heng's father didn't know what kind of conflicts had arisen with his uncle's family, and gradually the contact between them became less and less.Only the annual ancestor worship will appear on time.However, in recent years, because Lin Heng has come of age, Lin's father handed over all these matters to Lin Heng, and he never showed up in his hometown again.

When grandpa was still alive, Lin Heng once accompanied grandpa back to live here for a month or two.In Lin Heng's impression, his uncle's family is very warm, except for the cousin who is about the same age as him in the second uncle's family who always doesn't like him very much, other relatives have always been very kind to him.Therefore, Lin Heng also felt very happy about going back to his hometown.

"In other words, only you and your father are left in your grandfather's line?" Nan Yucheng said after listening to his narration, "Your uncle's side is more prosperous."

"Well. Grandpa only married grandma as a daughter-in-law. Grandma was in poor health. After giving birth to my dad, she could no longer get pregnant, and grandpa didn't force her. So our family line is indeed relatively weak." Lin Heng thought of himself as he spoke. The cousin of the second uncle's family couldn't help sighing: "Although there is a boy and a girl at the uncle's side, but the aunt can't bear children due to physical reasons, and the second uncle has a son, but he has never been worried since he was a child. , There is a lot of sneaking around."

"In this way, it's better for your family." Nan Yucheng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "At least the son he taught still looks good."

"That's right." Lin Heng accepted his compliment unceremoniously, and then pointed to the fork in the road on the right: "Over there, just go in."

Turning around the intersection, a small bright yellow building appeared in front of you.

When Lin Heng and the others arrived, there were already people waiting at the door for a long time.

As soon as Lin Heng saw the figure, he immediately poked his head out of the car window and waved: "Uncle!"

The man was not as excited as Lin Heng, he just nodded slightly in the distance, pointed them in a direction, and signaled Nan Yucheng to park the car there.

Lin Heng got out of the car when he reached the door, and Nan Yucheng drove the car over and parked it alone.When I came back, I saw Lin Heng standing at the gate with a man in his forties, chatting happily.

At first glance, that man looks a bit like Lin Heng, with handsome facial features and an elegant and gentle temperament.However, if you look closely, you can find the difference between the two.

The man wore a pair of glasses, about 45 years old, 1.8 meters tall, thin, with fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. When he smiled, he was very reserved, but there was always a sense of alienation.

As for Lin Heng who was opposite him, although he also had a handsome appearance, his personality was genuinely gentle and kind, he was kind-hearted and honest, and he was a person who could be seen through at a glance.

Just thinking about it, Nan Yucheng suddenly heard something Lin Heng said:

"...Well, it's a friend of mine. He grew up in the city, and he has never seen the countryside. He is very rare, so he insisted on following me." Lin Heng turned his back to Nanyu City, but he was full of vigor. Made up nonsense with my uncle: "So this time I will take him to see, anyway, he can play with his own when we worship our ancestors, and it doesn't affect each other."

Nan Yucheng stood behind him without saying a word, thinking silently, maybe this person is not so honest?

"Your friend should already be working, right? What kind of industry?" Lin Heng originally thought that his uncle was asking himself, and was about to answer, when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Uncle's gaze was directed upwards.

Only then did Lin Heng feel that the light above his head was a bit dim, he raised his head, and Nan Yucheng was looking at him with a half-smile.

After watching for a few seconds, he smiled and turned to his uncle and said, "I'm a policeman. I just came here to take a look."

My uncle was taken aback, and immediately smiled and said: "The police are good, they serve the country and the people, and they are promising, haha."

After the three chatted for a while, my uncle led them into the yard.

Lin Heng's uncle is named Cao Siyun. He has been married to Lin Heng's aunt Lin Zeyi for nearly 20 years. Although they have no children after marriage, the relationship between husband and wife has always been good.Lin Zeyi has a pungent personality and never wants to suffer outside, while Cao Siyun is a gentle and gentle person. When the two met, outsiders thought that Cao Siyun would not be able to control this tigress. Unexpectedly, Lin Zeyi listened to Cao Siyun the most.On the outside, she is still a hero among women who lead the way, but when she returns home, she immediately becomes a little bird who follows her husband and sings her wife.The two of them have lived together Hemeimei for so many years, and they have never had any conflicts. They can be regarded as a model couple in Lin Heng's eyes.

"Your second uncle and his car broke down on the way. You called me just now, and we agreed to have dinner together, so it seems that we won't be there until tonight." Cao Siyun led Lin Heng up to the second floor, walking side by side Said: "In a while, you will have a meal and rest early. You are tired after driving for so long today. I will accompany you for a good walk around the neighborhood tomorrow."

"Thank you, Uncle." Lin Heng smiled and said, "Every year, you are responsible for the ancestor worship. If you don't come forward to make arrangements, Second Uncle and I may just sit together and stare blankly."

"Oh, what are you talking about. Your second uncle has a straightforward personality, and it would be embarrassing for him to worry about these things. Anyway, I'm fine, so it's good to help you take care of it?" He said this, and he led the two of them to the second floor , pushed open one of the doors.

"Xiao Heng, do you still live in this room? You have lived here in the past, I guess you are used to it." Seeing Lin Heng nodding, Cao Siyun turned back to look at Nan Yucheng: "Xiao Nan, follow me here .I'll take you to your room."

As soon as Cao Siyun finished speaking, Lin Heng immediately burst out laughing: "Xiao Nan, hahahaha."

Nan Yucheng turned his head and gave him a fair look, Lin Heng's expression froze, and he immediately said to Cao Siyun, "Uh, uncle, you can just call him Yu Cheng."

Cao Siyun nodded with a smile and led Nanyu City past.

The Lin family's small building has only two floors, and it was built in the form of a courtyard. There are two side buildings on both sides, and a main building in the middle. The main building and the side buildings are connected by corridors that turn at right angles.Lin Heng's room is at the end of the corridor on the left, and Nan Yucheng's room is just at the end of the corridor on the right.The rooms of the two faced each other at a distance, and they stood on the balcony at the door, so they could see each other face to face.

After entering the room, Lin Heng packed the things he had brought into the cabinet, opened the window of the room, and lay down by the window to watch the scene outside.

Lin Heng's window was just above the gate of the small courtyard. Through the window, he could see the path they passed by outside the courtyard, and the golden wheat in the field not far away.When the wind blows, the wheat rises and falls like waves, against the golden sunset behind, it is so beautiful.

He lay on the window sill and watched for a while, and suddenly noticed some movement behind him, so he turned his head away.

Nan Yucheng was leaning against the door and staring at him quietly.

His figure was backlit, so he couldn't see his expression clearly. He only felt that his eyes were dark, as if he was looking deeply into his soul.

Lin Heng looked at him, and smiled tacitly: "Go down to eat?"

Nan Yucheng didn't say a word.Lin Heng walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go. I'm going to starve to death."
