Stamping slightly, Lian Ge walked towards the earth temple again.
……
In the temple, the candles that had been burning before had long been extinguished, and the broken head of the clay statue was still wrapped in a red cloth and placed on the altar.
Looking at the headless clay statue, Lian Ge paused slightly,
Although under the eyes of the sky, this clay statue has no spirituality, but if it weren't for the slightest candle left in the earth temple, Lian Ge probably wouldn't have gone to that village at all.
To a certain extent, this earth temple really saved the villagers who offered incense to him.
Smiling slightly, Lian Ge didn't step into the earth temple again.
Turning around, he didn't continue along the way he came from, but chose another direction at random, and walked straight forward.
……
Nearly an hour later, Lian Ge stepped out of the densely forested forest and onto a winding mountain road.
Along the road, Lian Ge admired the mountain scenery along the way, walking without rush.
The little white mouse also squatted on Lian Ge's shoulder, turned its head, looked around, and squeaked from time to time.
"Buzz...buzz..."
The phone vibrated, and Lian Ge didn't stop. He took out the phone and checked the caller ID, then plugged in the earphones.
Put on the earphones, press the answer button, and in an instant, Gu Xiaoying's voice sounded,
"Young Master of the Lian family, have you ever missed the slave family? The slave family misses you when you walk, and misses you when you sit. I am afraid that you are suffering from lovesickness."
Hearing this, Lian Ge couldn't help smiling, and after putting the phone into his pocket, he replied:
"Miss Xiaoying is afraid that she is possessed by a playwright, do you need a poor Taoist to exorcise you?"
"Hmph, Lian Ge, you know how to bully me!"
"How dare Xiaosheng."
"And you dare not, hurry up and coax me, or I will start to get angry."
……
After getting bored for a while, the two of them got to the point.
"Brother Lian, are you still in Lin'an recently?"
"Probably." Lian Ge walked along the road unhurriedly, glanced at the distant mountains and replied,
"Why, classmate Xiaoying always asks where I am, do you want to raid Chagang?"
"Why, is the little brother of the Lian family scared?"
Gu Xiaoying said softly, and couldn't help smiling after finishing speaking,
"Okay, isn't it National Day? Didn't I think, haven't I seen my brother for a long time? Want to come and travel with Lian Ge for a few days?"
As she spoke, Gu Xiaoying paused slightly,
"Also, I miss you."
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly.
"I'll come and find you."
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you in the capital." Gu Xiaoying quickly replied, "You mustn't lie to me, otherwise, hum!"
Hearing this, Lian Ge couldn't help smiling.
……
Time passed, and after chatting with Gu Xiaoying for a while, Lian Ge hung up the phone.
After taking off the earphones, Lian Ge stomped his feet again and turned around.
While he was talking to Gu Xiaoying just now, a car stopped behind him,
"Young man, where are you going? Shall I give you a ride?"
A man about 30 years old lowered the car window, stretched out his head and shouted at Lian Ge,
As he said that, the man let the car move forward again, and stopped firmly beside Lian Ge.
"It's probably not convenient to take a car in this wild country. You don't have to be too polite, young man, just get in the car."
Upon hearing this, Lian Ge glanced inside the car through the open window,
In addition to the driver who was driving the car, there was also a woman of the same age as the man sitting in the co-pilot seat. She seemed to be the man's wife. Seeing Lian Ge's gaze, she nodded politely towards Lian Ge with a smile.
Sitting in the back row of the car was a little girl about seven or eight years old, who was lowering her head at the moment, fiddling with her fingers in silence.
After lingering on the little girl for a while, Lian Ge looked back at the overzealous man in the driver's seat.
"Brother, may I ask, is this place Lin'an now?"
"Young man, are you going to Lin'an?" The man showed a troubled look on his face, "Lin'an is right behind us, follow the road we came from, we are going to Wu Xing now..."
The man said, as if he wanted to take back his previous idea of carrying Lian Ge,
And at this moment, the little girl sitting in the back seat reached out and pulled the man's clothes,
"dad……"
Hearing the sound, the man looked back at his daughter, then turned back to look at Lian Ge again,
"Young man, if you want to go to Lin'an, we just happen to..."
"Wu Xing is also fine."
Lian Ge glanced at the little girl in the back seat who was still bowing her head, looked away and said.
Hearing this, the man was a little surprised, he took a look at Lian Ge, and couldn't help asking,
"Young man, are you traveling?"
"That's right." Lian Ge responded with a slight smile.
Hearing this, the man looked at Lian Ge and hesitated for a moment, then looked at his daughter's hand still holding his clothes, and reached out to open the back seat door.
"Crack!"
"Young man, come up."
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't refuse anymore, opened the door and got in the car.
"Crack."
After closing the door, the man restarted the car and drove towards Wuxing City along the road.
……
In the back seat of the car, after Lian Ge got into the car, the little girl withdrew her hand holding her father's clothes, and continued to lower her head and fiddle with her fingers as before.
After glancing at the little girl, Lian Ge nodded to the girl's mother who was sitting in the passenger seat and turned around, signaling slightly,
After the girl's mother greeted Lian Ge briefly, she looked at the little girl,
"Guoguo, call me brother, say hello to this brother."
Hearing the sound, the little girl raised her head, but she didn't make a sound, but stared intently at the little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, her clear eyes seemed extremely focused.
"I'm sorry, young man, Guoguo is very introverted." The girl's mother apologized to Lian Ge.
Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head slightly, and turned his gaze to the little girl,
"But Guoguo is very kind. She was the one who said she would give you a ride, young man." The girl's mother had a smile on her face, and her tone was a little proud.
And at this moment, the little girl turned her gaze to Lian Ge,
"Brother, can you let me touch the little white mouse on your shoulder?" The little girl looked at Lian Ge, looking a little nervous, and said timidly.
"Guoguo, that's brother's pet, you can't play around with it, you know?" the girl's mother said to the little girl,
"Oh..." Hearing this, the little girl became a little depressed and lowered her head again.
"It's okay, it's okay to touch it." Lian Ge looked at the little girl and smiled slightly.
Chapter 143
Inside the car, the back seat.
"Guoguo, why don't you thank brother?" The girl's mother turned sideways from the passenger seat and said to the little girl,
However, after hearing Lian Ge's agreement, the little girl smiled and looked at the little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder intently again, as if she was deaf to her mother's words.
"I'm sorry, young man, Guoguo..." the girl's mother said apologetically,
Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head with a slight smile, and turned his gaze to the little girl again.
At the same time, he raised his hand and put it on his shoulder. The little white mouse immediately understood, and jumped onto Singer Lian's back.
Lian Ge moved his hands, and handed the little white mouse squatting on the back of his hand to the little girl.
The little girl's gaze followed the little white mouse closely.
When the little white mouse appeared in front of her, the little girl stretched out her hand carefully and stroked the little white mouse's hair.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on the little girl's face, but the little white mouse who was looking around froze for an instant, straightened up immediately, and wanted to run away.
But then, the little white mouse turned its head, met Lian Ge's gaze, and fell down again helplessly.
"Squeak... squeak..."
Two weak voices followed the little white mouse's somewhat resentful eyes,
"Brother, your little white mouse is so comfortable to touch." The little girl stroked the little white mouse's hair little by little, squinting her eyes and smiling.
"Hey, young man, you little white mouse is very intelligent." The girl's mother looked at the little white mouse and couldn't help saying.
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly, but didn't answer.
Glancing at the little girl who was focusing on the little white mouse, Lian Ge turned his gaze back to the mother of the child,
"Sister, I think your daughter seems to be..."
"...Guoguo is a bit different from ordinary children." The girl's mother glanced at the little girl, nodded, and replied without much hesitation,
"The psychiatrist said that Guoguo has some autistic tendencies. She usually communicates well with us, but when she meets other people, she tends to immerse herself in her own little world. When I met you today, the young man, you are considered her comparison." In a good state, maybe she likes you very much, young man."
Said, the girl's mother looked at the little girl again, smiled slightly,
"However, Guoguo also has observation abilities far beyond ordinary people. To tell you the truth, young man, this is why we let you get in the car without worry."
Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the little girl who was still staring intently at the mouse, who had no response to the communication between Lian Ge and her mother.
Smiling slightly, Lian Ge looked away, and looked at the girl's parents in the front row again,
"Brother, are you also traveling?"
"Yeah, it's almost the National Day. Her mother and I just have some time, so we wanted to take her out for a walk to see if it would help her illness." The girl's father was driving the car, and there was no Turn back, answer,
"What about you, young man, out hiking alone?"
"Probably." Lian Ge replied with a smile.
"Have you been to the West Lake Scenic Area? We just went there yesterday. There are so many people in the scenic area, densely packed, and I don't know whether to see the people or the scenery." The girl's father shook his head and said with emotion,
"People can also be regarded as Daojing."
"Yes." The girl's father thought for a while and nodded.
……
Just talking like this, time passed slowly, and the car carrying several people was also approaching Wuxing City.
The little girl sitting next to Lian Ge didn't make a sound in the second half of the journey, just looked at the little white mouse so intently, and gently stroked the little white mouse's hair.
at last,
After several hours of driving, the buildings on both sides of the road gradually became denser, the number of pedestrians gradually increased, and the car drove into another bustling city.
……
"Young man, this is the urban area of Wuxing, you see you are..." the father of the girl driving the car said aloud,
