At this moment, the dog was turning around in front of the woman, looking at the traffic lights across the road from time to time, and then barking at the woman.
When the middle-aged woman didn't realize it, she still hesitated in place.
"……Do you need help?"
Putting the mobile phone back into his pocket, Lian Ge walked to the side of the woman, glanced at the dog at the woman's feet, looked away, and asked aloud at the same time.
Hearing the sound, the middle-aged woman turned her head slightly, hesitated, then nodded,
"Thank you, sorry to bother you."
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly, then took the other end of the blind stick in the woman's hand,
"I'll take you across the road now, pay attention."
"Okay, thank you." The woman felt a slight change in the guide stick in her hand, and she was slightly relieved.
Looking at the dog at the woman's feet again, Lian Ge turned around and led the woman across the road.
After a while,
The countdown to the green light began to flash, and Lian Ge led the woman across the road.
"Young man, thank you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how to get here." The woman generally pointed in Lian Ge's direction and thanked her.
"You're welcome, big sister, do you need me to take you for another ride?"
"That's no need, just cross the road. I've been walking this road for many years." The woman said with a smile, shaking her head.
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't insist, but instead continued to talk,
"Sister, are you out to buy food?"
"Yeah... Although I am blind, I still have to live. Originally, the neighbor next door said they would buy it for me. I thought it would be bad to bother others. Besides, I have been walking this road for so many years. , there shouldn’t be any problem, how could I know... Hey, I still troubled you in the end, young man.”
As she spoke, the woman seemed to have opened up the conversation box, and continued,
"I had a guide dog before, so I didn't need to bother others, so I've been here for so many years."
Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't respond, but turned his gaze to the Labrador lying at the woman's feet.
"...Hey, a few days ago, he was getting older, so he just went there..."
Saying that, the woman shook her head,
"I'm sorry, young man, I made you laugh. I'm getting old, and I'm starting to talk... No more, young man, I'll go back first."
"Okay, you pay attention."
Afterwards, the woman turned around again, holding the dish in one hand and the blind-guide stick in the other, and walked forward gropingly.
The labrador guide dog also got up, trying to chase the woman, but was stopped by Lian Ge.
The guide dog stopped and looked up at Lian Ge who was standing in front of him, with humanized doubts in his eyes.
"I know you still want to show your master the way, but you are dead."
Lian Ge squatted down, using his magic power to condense the cover and the palm of his hand, and reached out to pet the guide dog.
And this guide dog seemed to understand Lian Ge's words at this moment,
"Wow~uh~"
The guide dog let out bursts of wailing, and the eyes showed sadness like a human being.
"Although you won't hurt your master, the coexistence of human and soul is ultimately disadvantageous for both sides. I guess you don't want to do this, so go reincarnate."
Not caring whether the guide dog understood what he said, Lian Ge stood up again,
He took out the underworld-style communicator that Fan Ba gave him earlier in his pocket.
Chapter 84 Qin Huai, the Boatman
"...Take it down."
"Yes, Heavenly Master."
Beside the street, in a place where there were few people, Lian Ge watched the government official with the spirit of the guide dog disappear before his eyes, and looked away.
Turning around, Lian Ge chose a direction and walked forward. At the same time, he took out the mobile phone in his pocket again and put on the earphones.
"...Brother Lian, brother..."
"heard it."
Lian Ge smiled and responded.
In an instant, there was a sound from the earphone, and Gu Xiaoying, who was paralyzed on the bed, sat up again,
"Tell me, little brother of the Lian family, did you see something special just now, I heard you talking,"
Gu Xiaoying turned on the camera and asked curiously.
"It's true that there is something special. There is a guide dog at the feet of the older sister."
"Soul?" Gu Xiaoying realized instantly, sat up straight,
"Is it because the guide dog doesn't know that he is dead, so he still insists on leading the way for its owner?"
"more or less."
Lian Ge glanced at the street in the distance, and replied while walking unhurriedly.
"Why is my classmate Xiaoying suddenly so smart?"
"Always be smart!"
"is it?"
"Hmph, Lian Ge, you bully me!"
"No way."
……
"...Lian Ge, now that you have arrived in Nandu, where are you going next?"
"Maybe I'm going to see the Ten Mile Qinhuai River and visit the Confucius Temple."
"...Lian Ge, why don't I graduate early too!"
"You can graduate early, that's fine."
"Ah! I also want to visit Qinhuai!"
……
Time passed slowly, and after chatting with Gu Xiaoying for a while, Lian Ge ended the call.
Stamping his feet again, he glanced at the relatively dense ancient buildings in the picture, and his gaze stayed on the landmark building for a while, a smile appeared on Lian Ge's face,
Ten miles away, Qinhuai has arrived, and the cultural atmosphere in front of you is the Confucius Temple complex.
After putting away the phone, Lian Ge took another step towards the Confucius Temple.
……
Next to the Confucius Temple is an ancient street. Most of the ancient buildings along the street sell paper, ink, pens and inkstones, antiques and other literati-like items.
Lian Ge walked along the ancient streets and alleys, admiring the buildings passing by, and approached the Confucius Temple without any haste.
Walking in front of the Confucius Temple, more and more tourists gathered from all over the place.
Lian Ge turned around, stomped his feet slightly facing the Confucius Temple, and raised his head. Lian Ge looked at Qi with his eyes, watching the strong cultural atmosphere in the entire Confucius Temple.
"Hey, brother, do you want to buy a souvenir? The writing brush co-branded by Confucius Temple is very suitable for taking home for collection or as a gift."
In a nearby shop, the owner stuck his head out of the shop and shouted at Lian Ge.
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge shook his head slightly, then walked straight towards the Confucius Temple.
……
Passing through the gate and entering the front yard of the Confucius Temple, the sight suddenly becomes much brighter.
Following the flow of people, Lian Ge walked into the first main hall of the Confucius Temple.
Looking at the portrait of the master erected in the main hall, Lian Ge slightly stamped his feet,
"Come...to make a bow to the sage, let him, my little treasure, succeed in his studies, and get into a good university in the future..."
Hearing the voice beside him, Lian Ge smiled slightly,
He neither bowed to the master like the others, nor stopped too much, turned around and walked out of the hall.
……
Following the flow of people in the Confucius Temple, after passing several halls, Lian Ge stepped out of the Confucius Temple again.
Along the alleys closely connected by the exit, Lian Ge admired the buildings and the mottled marks left by time on them.
After a while,
Lian Ge walked out of the ancient street, and his figure appeared by the Qinhuai River.
Without any purpose, Lian Ge casually walked along the Qinhuai River.
Suddenly, a voice sounded,
"Boy, do you want to take a boat?"
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge followed the prestige, and saw what seemed to be a wharf, with some antique painting boats parked there,
An old man wearing a bamboo hat and looking like an old farmer was standing on an antique painting boat and shouting at Lian Ge.
"Young man, come here to play from other places. How about taking a boat and swimming down the Qinhuai River?"
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge's eyes paused slightly on the old man, and then walked towards the small pier.
……
"Hey, young man, your pet is quite interesting."
Lian Ge walked to the boat, and the old man wearing a bamboo hat noticed the little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, and couldn't help saying.
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, and then asked directly:
"Old man, if you take a boat, how much will you charge?"
"If you want to charter a boat, it will be five hundred for two hours. You can also wait and fight with others, it will be cheaper. Do you want an explanation? If you want it, I will call you right away, but it will be more expensive if you want an explanation."
The old man simply quoted the price directly,
"There's no need for commentary, let's just go." Lian Ge shook his head.
"Okay then, come up, young man, we're leaving now." As he said that, the old man took out the pole.
Hearing this, Lian Ge jumped onto the boat.
"Young man, you have good skills."
The old man couldn't help but look sideways, and said aloud,
"It's okay." Lian Ge nodded without further explanation.
Seeing this, the old man didn't ask any more questions, but instead said,
"Young man, go and sit in the boat, let's sail."
Hearing this, Lian Ge walked into the boat and sat down at random.
And the old man who punted the boat then took the pole and propped the boat away from the shore.
"...Young man, don't look at my painting boat as it seems to be smaller than other boats, but my boat is different from other boats. It was really handed down by my ancestors..." The old man said to himself , and didn't care whether Lian Ge was listening.
"Old man, have you been on this boat for some years?"
On the boat, Lian Ge sat casually, listening to the sound of the water surface being cut, watching the scenery on both sides of the bank receding along the way, chatting,
"... That's not true. When I was young, my father was still there, and my family was punting by the Qinhuai River. When my father went, it was only a few years after liberation. After taking his class, it lasts for decades. Young man, if you don’t take my boat, you still have to go to the pier to buy that boat ticket..." As he spoke, the old man looked a little proud, his dark face showing with a flushed smile,
Lian Ge listened to the old man's words and looked at the Goulan cottages on both sides of the river, a mottled sense of time became more and more clear in front of his eyes.
"... A few years ago, my daughter was persuading me, saying that I had been tired all my life, and it was time for me to rest, but the old man spent half of my life on the Qinhuai River. Architecture, I close my eyes, and I know what it looks like. In this river, where the water is shallow and where the water surface is narrow, I don’t need to look to know it. It’s not like you can put it down,
