Farming in overlapping worlds

Linze pulled the suitcase and walked out of the train station.

The time displayed on the phone was already 17:21 in the afternoon. I put the phone back in my pocket and looked up to the outside of the station.

A row of uncles and aunts were waving to the passengers coming out of the station, their enthusiasm was no less than that of the girls in the ancient brothels.

An old lady enthusiastically came forward to help Lin Zela with her luggage, and said hello, "Young student, where are you going?"

Linze didn't ask her to help him with his luggage, and followed the auntie in the direction of her three-wheeled motorcycle: "Go to Zhujing Bay, 15 yuan."

"Local? That's 15 yuan, get in the car."

Sitting on the three-wheeled motorcycle, Linze put the luggage between his legs and stuck it with his knees to prevent it from falling due to the vibration.

The motorcycle started to make a loud noise of "Tun Tun Tun", and then drove onto the road.

It was September, and the heat faded a little in the evening.

The road circled the seaside, Linze looked towards the other side of the road, the setting sun at the junction of the sea and the sky had begun to shrink its light, reflecting the clouds in the sky red.

The salty smell of the sea was tangy, Linze put on his baseball cap.Avoid the hair getting greasy after going through the wind, dust and sea breeze all the way.

"Why are you coming home at this hour? Isn't the school just started?" The driver of the three rounds saw that the distance was far away, and started chatting with Linze.

Linze lowered his eyes and replied, "Come back for the funeral."

The driver was a little embarrassed, or maybe he felt a little unlucky, and then he was speechless all the way.

The car slowed down when passing a curve. One side of this road is a mountain wall, and the other side is a fence. There is a very narrow section in the middle. The fence blocks a section of cliff. Below the cliff is a beach. The sea water will rise when the tide is high. to the middle of the cliff.

The narrow road section is about 100 meters wide and can only pass two tricycles at most, so cars that are too large are prohibited from entering.

After passing through a narrow road section of about [-] meters, a stone with the words "Shu Jingwan" was half buried on the side of the road.

Whale Bay is a small village near the sea in Yinhai Town, Bagel City, a coastal city. From the satellite map, it can be seen that the shape of Whale Bay is like a crescent connecting the mainland.

Because the sea area where Whale Bay belongs has low environmental pollution, clean water, and large groups of marine life that Bryde's whales love to eat, it is very suitable for the growth of Bryde's whales, so Bryde's whales stay here for a long time.

There is a high probability of seeing whales and dolphins when you go out to sea by boat, which is why Whale Bay got its name.

With the afterglow of the setting sun, Linze stood outside the yard of a two-story building with a box in his hand.

The iron gate outside the yard was not locked, so he opened it and walked in, calling inside, "Uncle."

A middle-aged man with white temples, bloodshot eyes, and an army green short-sleeved shirt came out of the room to check the situation when he heard the movement, "Fifth brother is back?"

Linze is the fifth cousin among his cousins, and his relatives are called fifth younger brother.

Lin Ze said lightly, "I'll get the keys to the house."

Lin Haihai touched his waist, took out a large bunch of keys, and made a tinkling sound.

I took out a small string from the inside, handed it to Linze, and said: "Go back and put your things first, come over for dinner later, and see your grandpa."

Lin Ze nodded, pulled the box and left without looking back.

The wheels of the suitcase rolled on the slightly rough concrete road, breaking the tranquility of the road.

After walking for about ten minutes, Linze stood in front of another house.

This area belongs to the south of the village. There are only seven or eight households in the south of the village. There is a cliff a hundred meters behind the houses, and there is a beach under the cliff. When the tide is high, there is sea water underneath.

Because it is too close to the sea, the villagers don't like to build houses here, so there is a big difference between the population in the south of the village and the north of the village.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and with the only remaining light, he tried the keys in his hand one by one, and opened the gate of the yard after 2 minutes.

"Second baby?" An old man called out with a hoarse voice not far away.

Lin Ze turned his head, and the voice came from an old man. In the remaining light of the setting sun, he could clearly see the old man's gray hair, and his skin was so dry and wrinkled that there was only a layer of skin covering the bones. He was wearing gray-black pants and a suit. The old gray vest has a stooped back but is full of energy.

He recognized the person, and responded, "Seventh Uncle, it's not Erwa, I'm Linze."

"Wu Wazi? Why are you back?" Uncle Qi was very puzzled in his tone.

"Come back and see Grandpa." Lin Ze greeted with a smile. "Have you got a meal yet?"

Uncle Qi nodded to show that he had already eaten, and slapped the cattail fan that was missing a few holes in his hand: "It's hot, I'll come out to cool off."

Lin Ze chatted with Uncle Qi for a few words.Seventh Uncle waved his hand and let him go to work.

Lin Ze closed the iron door, and tried to open the door and the door of the building with an unfamiliar key. The living room looked very different from the one before he left, and only some familiar objects could be vaguely seen.

Carrying his luggage, he went up to the second floor, opened the room he lived in in the past, and a puff of dust hit his face. He waited outside the door for a while, and walked in after the dust settled down.

The layout inside has changed drastically, looking at the past, there are unfamiliar furniture and layouts.

Because no one has cleaned it for a long time, it is full of dust everywhere, and some places are even covered with cobwebs.

Put the suitcase down and open it, and hang the clothes in the closet.

The faucet had not been used for a long time, and the water gate had been closed. He opened the water gate, found an old wooden bucket from the utility room, filled a bucket of water, and found a rag to wipe the dust in the room first.

After that, Lin Haihai called, and Lin Ze answered the phone.

"Fifth brother, come over for dinner after you put away your things." Lin Haihai hung up the phone after giving instructions.

"I'll come over." Lin Ze nodded.

Lin Ze washed his face and hands, and came to Lin Haihai's house.

"Your grandfather is in the room, but he is asleep now." Lin Haihai pointed to an open door.

Lin Ze approached the door, and through the crack of the door, he could see the old man lying on the bed.

His face exposed outside the quilt is very old, his hair is gray, and there are many age spots on his skin. Even in a deep sleep, he can't hide the forbearance between his brows. Presumably, the illness is still tormenting him.

Lin Ze gently closed the door and asked, "Why didn't you send him to the hospital?"

Lin Hai said: "Your grandpa is sometimes awake and sometimes confused. The doctor said that it will only last for a few days, even if he is rescued, he won't last long. He feels that it is a waste of money to stay in the hospital, so he will stop."

Lin Ze didn't say any more, and sat down to eat together.

There are not many people in the family, only the uncle and aunt are at home, and neither the eldest cousin nor the second cousin lives in the village.

Uncle Lin Haihai tried to get closer to each other: "How long can I stay this time?"

"One week."

Lin Dahai asked about work-related matters, Lin Ze didn't want to talk more, so he said a few perfunctory words.

Linze's grandfather, Lin Yufu, did not wake up until after dinner, so Linze went back temporarily.

Before returning home, he turned to the vegetable market in the village. It was already dark at this time. The vegetable market is the place where the most shops in the village gather. There are several grocery stores. Straw mats basking in the sun.

The mat was spread on the mattress, Lin Ze took a shower and fell asleep, it was only nine o'clock in the evening.

Maybe because he went to bed too early, he woke up in the middle of the night, the window was not closed, but the screen was drawn.

He turned on his phone and checked the time, it was four in the morning.

A penetrating whimper sounded from a distance, like a very penetrating ghostly cry.Linze could still tell that it was the cry of a whale.

A thin voice came to his ears one after another, Lin Ze opened his closed eyes, took a deep breath and sat up from the bed.

Because of the hot weather, I sweated a lot on my body, and my skin felt a little sticky.Probably unable to lie down on the bed, he opened the door and walked out.

He walked around the front of the house to the back of the house, and walked a hundred meters to the cliff by the sea. At this time, the tide was rising, and the sea water submerged two-thirds of the height of the cliff. The waves beat against the cliff, and the sound continued.

The sea was pitch black, and the scenery could not be seen clearly, only the bright stars because of the lack of clouds.

The cry of the whale penetrated all the air and reached the brain.

Under the moonlight, he saw a huge black shadow on the sea.

After it jumped out of the water, it flapped and fell into the water again, and the shallows did not hinder its activities in the slightest.

Lin Ze stared at the appearance of the whale without too much expression on his face, and he was not surprised by it at all.

The night wind blew on him, and the heat on his body subsided a lot.

The whale wandered around in the distance, and after showing off its singing and dancing, it swam towards the deep sea again.

After a gust of sea breeze blew, Linze also returned to the room and fell asleep for a while.

On the second day, Linze was called to Linhai's house for dinner. The village didn't sell rice, but only steamed buns, buns, snacks and bean curd.

But he was called home by Linhai for dinner in the morning.

After breakfast, Linze's grandfather, Lin Yufu, woke up at this time.

When Lin Ze walked to the door, he realized that unlike yesterday when he was sickly lying on the bed, Lin Yufu seemed to be in good spirits, and could actually sit up and eat.

Seeing Linze who came back, Lin Yufu's expression was a little dazed: "Wuwa is back?"

"Grandfather." Linze walked closer and sat on the bench in front of the bed.

Lin Yufu's hands were folded on the back of Lin Ze's, and the tactile sensation of the rough fingers patting on the arm was very obvious.

"I'm glad you can come back, I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore."

Lin Ze lowered his eyes: "You think too much, Grandpa."

"I haven't lost anything in your house, it's in the cabinet of the old house."

"Ah."

"The house in your family will be recorded in your name in the future."

"Grandpa, there's no need."

"Here, it was originally yours."

The house Lin Yufu mentioned was built by Linze's parents before they were alive, but Linze's parents died when Linze was 15 years old. At that time, his second cousin was going to marry a girl from the town, and the uncle's house didn't have enough rooms. Grandpa decided to let the second cousin's Xiao family move into Lin Ze's house.

As for Linze, he was already studying in a closed middle school at that time, and he seldom went home, and no one thought to ask his opinion.

So, Linze came back during the summer vacation and found that his second cousin and his new wife lived in his home, and his second sister-in-law was pregnant with a child.

Regarding the second cousin living in the house, Lin Ze has always adopted a silent attitude.It's just that after this summer vacation, he never went back to Whale Bay. He even chose to live in school during the holidays. After graduating from high school, he even filled in the volunteers of other urban schools.

Eight years have passed so far. The second cousin bought a house in the town two years ago, and the small building in the village has been vacant.
