"Xiao Ge. Isn't it July and a half..."

Chapter 1030

"Great Uncle."

"Eh."

Standing in this alley, by the side of the road.A place where some of the doors still open on the street reflect some light from the shops,

Lian Ge looked across the video call,

Holding a walking stick, standing in front of the stone table in the yard, looking at the great uncle who lowered his mobile phone on the stone table,

Lian Ge called out.

The great uncle on the other end of the video call smiled and nodded, and replied,

Standing on the same spot again, he walked forward and sat down on the stool beside the stone table.

"...Xiao Ge, have you had dinner yet, where have you been, have you decided where you will stay today?"

Sitting, leaning the walking stick to the side, the great uncle smiled and asked Lian Ge on the video call a few more times.

"Dinner has been eaten. It should be in a small town under the mountain city at the moment."

"...Mountain City, it's not far from home. When will you come back?"

Lian Ge responded.

Grand Uncle laughed again and spoke aloud.

"almost."

Lian Ge spoke, then raised his head, walked along the somewhat dark old alley, looked forward into the distance, and answered,

He paused his gaze, then turned his gaze a little bit, and looked at the great uncle on the other end of the video call,

"Great Uncle, what did you want to tell me just now?"

"...Hey, it's July and a half again."

On the other end of the video call, sitting on the stone bench, the great uncle paused, and then said aloud,

"...In the past, this is the time for ancestor worship in the village. It was held last year, and it will definitely not be held this year. In each house, those who are willing to worship, go to worship and worship. Burn some paper money and joss sticks. "

The great uncle said, then paused again,

"...The mountain patrolling before was done according to what you said before, Xiaoge, and they patrolled every month. They patrolled the mountain, and they were very diligent when they settled down. They chose every month At fifteen, go to the mountains for a night."

"...Xiaoge, look at this month, during the Ghost Festival, do you still patrol the mountains as usual? Now that it's the Ghost Festival, there are still many people in the village worshiping their ancestors. Do you want to Do something different. I just wanted to call and ask Xiao Ge about you."

After speaking, on the other end of the phone, Grand Uncle stopped talking again, looked at Lian Ge on the other end of the video call,

Second Uncle Lian also stood behind Grand Uncle, squatting down, waiting for Lian Ge's answer.

"Just do it the same way as before."

After listening to the great uncle finished speaking, looking at the great uncle and the second uncle Lian on the other end of the video call, Lian Ge nodded and answered.

"...The old man, Xiaoge, I'll go first, the villagers and the mountain patrollers are still waiting."

On the other end of the video call, Second Uncle Lian stood up straight again, and said aloud to Grand Uncle and Lian Ge on the other end of the phone.

"...If you want to go, hurry up, don't get in the way here."

Uncle Tai picked up his walking stick and hit Uncle Lian on the leg.

Second Uncle Lian yelled, then hurriedly ran out of the house,

Grandpa looked at it and couldn't help laughing,

Followed by, and then the smile gradually faded,

Put the crutch down against the stone table again, and turned around a bit,

Looking at Lian Ge on the other side of the video call, he paused for a while, and then the great uncle said to Lian Ge,

"...Xiao Ge, you don't have to worry too much about your grandpa."

"...People in the village also helped to worship. In the evening, I was thinking about the Ghost Festival. I asked your second uncle to carry some things to your grandfather's grave to say goodbye. Your second uncle came back and said , and burned several piles of paper money there."

"...You don't have to worry too much about Xiao Ge. If you need to pay homage, everyone in the village has helped you do it."

Grand Uncle paused, and spoke to Lian Ge.

Lian Ge listened, first paused,

"Thank you, great uncle."

"Thank you, we are all family."

Grandpa waved his hand.

Lian Ge heard the sound, paused for a while, smiled again, and didn't say anything more.

"Xiao Ge, I've finished talking about things. I won't delay you, you can go about your own business."

The great-uncle on the video call reached out and picked up the walking stick beside him, stood up again,

Said aloud, stretched out his hand, approached the mobile phone placed on the stone table, and hung up the phone.

After finishing the call, Lian Ge put away the phone,

Turning his gaze a little further, he looked forward along the alley.

On the front side, separated by a dark section of the road,

In the shop with the open door of the house facing the street, under the reflection of some lights,

A slightly stooped figure was standing by the side of the road,

Turning his head, looking back and forth on both sides of the alley, turning his head back from time to time, looking into the shop with some lights behind him,

His steps seemed a little hesitant.

……

After taking a look, Lian Ge moved his feet away again, walking forward reflecting the permeating night.

Walking through the somewhat dark section of the road, walking into the lights of the roadside shops,

Under the light, the hesitant figure on the side of the road turned around, as if he had just seen Lian Ge,

"...Young man, are you staying in a hotel?"

The somewhat hesitant and stooped figure was an old lady,

The old lady has silver hair all over her head, combed very neatly, her clothes are well-arranged, no wrinkles can be seen, and a row of buttons are neatly buttoned.

She was wearing trousers on her lower body and a pair of cloth shoes on her feet, and she was very clean.

Seeing Lian Ge, the old lady stood still, smiled at Lian Ge, and greeted Lian Ge,

Glancing at the old lady, Lian Ge turned his gaze a little further, and glanced behind the old lady,

Behind the old lady, on the side of the alley, where there are some bright lights, is an old hotel.

The hotel door is open,

Enter the door, lean against the inner wall, directly facing the door, there is a counter, beside the counter is the stairs going upstairs.

There were bright lights in the lobby, reflecting the interior of the lobby, and through the open door, also illuminating a section of the road in the alley outside the hotel.

Lian Ge took a look, and stopped under the light.

"Young man, I think you have come all the way. You must be tired from walking, why don't you rest in the hotel."

Seeing Lian Ge stop, the old lady smiled and greeted Lian Ge.

"I still have to go forward. I can't stop."

Lian Ge shook his head, looked at the old lady, and said aloud,

But he didn't leave directly.

Turning his gaze a little further, Lian Ge took another look at the open door of the hotel, in the brightly lit lobby,

"The old lady is standing outside to solicit business?"

Lian Ge said something aloud, then turned his eyes to look at the old lady,

Hearing the sound, the old lady shook her head first, then responded with a smile,

"It's this time, the roads are dark, and there are no people passing by, so what kind of business are you looking for?"

The old lady laughed, said something, then stomped her feet, looked into the distance of the alley,

"...I want to go out for a walk now, but I'm afraid that if I leave, no one will look at the store."

While talking, the old lady turned her head and looked at the stairs next to the counter in the hotel.

There was some hesitation in the steps.

"Of course someone else will take care of it. Since he has been here for so many years, he is naturally not afraid of you leaving, old lady."

Lian Ge looked at the old lady and said something aloud.

"...Yes, someone will take care of it."

The old lady nodded, she hesitated less,

He just turned his head again and looked at the distance on both sides of the somewhat dark alley,

"...Today is the Ghost Festival, and I don't know if my wife will come back. It is agreed that he will come back to pick me up."

"...Hey, the road is so dark, I'm a little scared to walk alone."

The old lady looked at the distance in the somewhat dark alley, talking, a little embarrassed.

"Old lady, go over there, he will wait for you over there."

Looking at the old lady, Lian Ge paused, then spoke aloud, pointing the direction to the old lady.

"……thanks, thanks……"

The old lady listened, a little happy, and thanked her,

Then he quickly walked in the direction Lian Ge was pointing at, and quickly walked away, disappearing from Lian Ge's sight.

Chapter 1031

The moon hanging obliquely in the night was blocked by clouds and mist, and the stars could not be seen.

In the old alley where the dense branches and leaves cover the sky, it is still dark and filled with night,

It's just the dim lights shining through the dense branches and leaves, and the light reflected in the few open shops facing the street,

Reluctantly swayed some lights on a few sections of the road.

At night, with some chilly wind, blowing through this old alley again,

The shadows of branches and leaves reflected on the street of the old alley swayed slightly with the wind.

……

Standing outside this hotel next to the alley, with some light reflected,

Looking at the old lady with some joy, with hope in her eyes, she walked towards the far side of the alley, far away in the night,

Pausing his gaze again, Lian Ge turned his gaze a little more,

Reflecting the bright lights in the hotel by the alley, and looking into the hotel lobby,

Behind the counter against the wall on the inner side of the lobby, facing the hotel gate,

The figure with the same face as the old lady before was lying behind the counter with his eyes closed, and had not moved for a long time.

The clothes on her body have been taken care of, there are not many folds visible, and the buttons of the clothes are neatly buttoned.

One hand was still on the neckline, as if he was still worried about whether the neckline of the clothes was neatly arranged.
