Then, a figure that she thought about day and night appeared in front of her eyes. Her lover, just like before, looked at her happily and smiled.
"...I put that umbrella in the box, I'm afraid it might break..." the old man looked at his lover and said with a smile.
"Old Road...Old Road..." The old lady looked at the person in front of her, her eyes turned red instantly, and she just yelled foolishly.
"Yes, yes, always here..." The old man replied over and over again with a smile.
……
On the side, Lian Ge, who was watching this scene, smiled slightly,
After taking a few steps back, Lian Ge turned around and looked towards the West Lake again.
On the surface of the lake, the breeze is still lingering, the boats in the lake are still floating quietly, and the broken bridge is still crowded with people.
After a pause, Lian Ge took out the cell phone in his pocket and called Gu Xiaoying.
"Hey, why did my little brother call me so early?"
The first time the phone rang, it was connected.
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge smiled,
"Maybe I miss you."
Chapter 116 Barbecue Stand
"...Old man, ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes. Although your lover is your obsession, the coexistence of yin and yang will ultimately be harmful rather than beneficial."
By the West Lake, after finishing the call with Gu Xiaoying, Lian Ge walked back to the old couple.
"Young man...Little Mister." The old lady looked at the old man, then looked at Lian Ge again, hesitated to speak,
"Can you not let my old man leave, even if he will affect me here, I will admit it. After all, I am old and I have lived enough. If there is something, I can just accompany him. Don't let him Keep waiting."
Hearing this, Lian Ge slightly shook his head,
"Old lady, the impact is not only on you, but also on your husband. Every time he stays in the world, he will suffer an extra moment after he goes down."
Hearing this, the old lady hesitated and looked at the old man again.
The old man next to him was still smiling cheerfully,
"It's okay. I haven't gone down for such a long time. There must be some punishment. If I stay any longer, it will only be a little longer. I would rather suffer for one more moment, as long as I can be with you for one more moment."
"Xiao Mister, in normal times, I will be very careful not to get too close and let the yin energy on my body affect her." As the old man spoke, he turned his eyes to Lian Ge again.
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old couple,
"Old man, the yin and yang eyes temporarily opened by your lover will still work for half an hour. After half an hour, they will return to the same state as before. They will not be able to see you or hear your voice."
"It's okay, Mr. Xiao, as long as I can be with her and she knows I'm there, that's enough." The old man still said cheerfully.
With that said, the old man turned his head to look at his wife,
The old lady looked into her husband's eyes, and the hesitation in her eyes gradually disappeared and became more determined.
"Mr. Xiao, can you not let my husband go down and let him stay by my side temporarily."
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, seeing the firmness revealed in her cloudy eyes,
Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge looked to the side,
"I advise you, old lady, don't think about doing stupid things. At least you still have the memory of your husband now. If you die, your souls will be reincarnated soon, and your memories will be gone by then."
"Thank you, can the little gentleman keep my husband from going down?"
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the old couple again,
His eyes paused slightly on the faces of the old couple.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge turned around again, looked at the lake, and did not speak again.
"Little Mister, Little Mister..."
"Thank you."
The understanding old couple solemnly thanked Lian Ge, then turned around and walked away quickly.
……
Staring at the surface of the West Lake in front of him, listening to the sound of footsteps gradually receding behind him, hidden in the environment, Lian Ge smiled and shook his head,
Turning around, looking at the two figures in the distance that had almost disappeared from sight, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and sat down on the wooden bench again.
On the surface of the lake, the night wind with water vapor still blows from time to time, and the willows by the lake are swaying gently,
The boat in the lake floats quietly, and the lights on it are reflected on the water.
Looking at the night view of the West Lake in front of him, Lian Ge half leaned on the bench, and the surrounding became more and more quiet.
……
for a long time,
"Squeak... squeak."
"I know you're hungry. All right, let's find a place to eat."
Lian Ge stood up again, looked into the distance, then turned to look at the little white mouse squatting on his shoulder,
Without staying too long, Lian Ge chose a direction and walked straight forward.
……
Leaving the West Lake along the road, the road along the road did not become deserted, but became more lively.
Even though night has fallen, the nightlife of this bustling city has just begun.
After skimming several main streets, Lian Ge stepped into a small street with a lot of barbecue stalls.
The moment you step into the street, a lively scene comes into view.
Dozens of folding tables are scattered on the sidewalks on both sides of the street. Diners, old or young, male or female, sit on different stools, fighting the food in front of them as if launching a war.
Between the tables, a set of industrial electric fans whirred, but it seemed to be agitating a heat wave.
In the several grills separated on both sides, the scorching charcoal fire is accompanied by the fan constantly fanning in the owner's hand, and the food on the grill is continuously roasted from day to day.Grease from the food dripped from time to time, and a spark flew in the grill.
"...Boss, ten more strings of tendons, ten strings of flesh and blood..."
"Boss, put a case of beer on ice."
"Come on, right now..."
The aroma of barbecue, the sound of boiling, and the rolling heat wave all hit in an instant.
"Squeak... squeak."
The little white mouse squatting on its shoulders turned its head to look at it, then turned its head, stretched out its front paws, and touched Lian Ge's face eagerly.
Seeing this, Lian Ge turned his head to look at the little white mouse, and smiled,
"alright."
After the words fell, Lian Ge walked towards one of the barbecue stalls.
"Brother, what do you want to eat?"
As soon as Lian Ge walked to the barbecue booth, a middle-aged woman in an oil-stained apron greeted him, and took Lian Ge to one of the few empty tables left to sit down.
"This is the menu, brother, if you see what you need to order, you can directly mark it with a pen."
The middle-aged woman took a handkerchief, wiped the oil stains on the folding table more evenly, took out a pencil and a one-time order menu from her apron pocket, and handed them to Lian Ge.
"Boss, bring some more paper..."
Someone next to me yelled,
"Come on, right away..." After the middle-aged woman answered, she turned her head and looked at Lian Ge again.
"Brother, you order the food first, and then call me after you order."
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled and nodded.
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she walked away again.
Scanning the people eating barbecue around his eyes, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, picked up the disposable menu, randomly selected some that fit his taste, and put the menu and pen aside again.
Turning his gaze, and then scanning his surroundings, Lian Ge looked at the people eating barbecue,
"...Wine is enough to drink comfortably, eat vegetables and eat vegetables."
"Little Keke, tell Dad, is the barbecue delicious?... Delicious! From now on, Little Keke will behave in the kindergarten, and Dad will bring Little Keke to eat again, okay..."
"...Hey, it's so annoying. You promised to lose weight, but you tempted me to come out to eat barbecue. Also, look at the pimples on my forehead, they are all on fire..."
"This barbecue, it's better to eat at the night stand, come on, let's go for another one..."
Listening to the surrounding voices and feeling the strong human atmosphere, Lian Ge smiled slightly.
……
Soon, the middle-aged woman who had walked away before came over again.
"Brother, is the dish ready?"
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded.
The middle-aged woman then picked up the one-time menu, glanced at it,
"Let me see... ten skewers of roast tendon, five skewers of yellow throat, five skewers of beef...do you want something to drink, brother?"
"Just have a drink." Lian Ge responded casually.
"Alright then, just wait a moment, and I'll serve it to you as soon as it's baked."
After finishing speaking, someone next to me asked for more food, and the middle-aged woman walked away.
Glancing at the barbecue grill not far away, Lian Ge turned his gaze away, and continued to wait quietly as before, listening to the various living beings around him.
And while Lian Ge was waiting,
A figure suddenly appeared beside Lian Ge, blocking Lian Ge's vision from the front.
"Benefactor, can I share a table?"
With that said, the person who came directly sat on the empty seat in front of Lian Ge.
Chapter 117 The Monk (First Order)
At the barbecue booth, the surroundings were still noisy and boiling, and the heat wave was in full swing.
Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and casually glanced at the person who had already sat down in the empty seat in front of him.
Wearing a gray robe and a monk's robe, with a bald head, he looks like a monk.
Judging by his appearance, he is probably less than 20 years old.
"Boss, order!" After the young monk sat down, he called out to the middle-aged woman who was busy in the distance.
"Here we come, we come, wait a moment..."
Seeing that the owner of the barbecue stall answered, the young monk turned his head back and looked at Lian Ge,
"Brother... Bah, benefactor, thank you, I thought I would not be able to eat tonight because I came so late." The young monk fiddled with the cuff of his monk's robe and thanked Lian Ge.
"Hey, benefactor, is your mouse quite spiritual?"
The young monk turned his gaze, noticed the little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, and couldn't help saying.
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the little white mouse squatting on his shoulder, and then at the young monk.
There is a kind of cleanliness in the eyes of this young monk that is far beyond ordinary people.
"You don't need to thank me, anyway, you didn't ask me if I agreed." Lian Ge looked at the young monk and said calmly.
"Ahem... Benefactor, don't say that. As the saying goes, the fate of a hundred generations can be cultivated so that you can join the table. This is all fate." The young monk showed a little embarrassment on his face, but still said cheekily,
"When I was in the next province, I saw a travel guide saying that the barbecue on this street is delicious, and I walked here for several days. The benefactor, you can see that he is a kind person, and you won't let me wait any longer. One day."
