The sky gradually darkened, there were no street lights on the road, and it soon became dark. Li Tian put away the biography, took the recliner and turned back to the house.
"Another day." Li Tian lay on the bed after taking a bath, with his hands behind his head, bored.
Today, my heart is heavy and it is a little difficult to sleep. It is the nostalgia for the village and the hesitation about the future.
Not long after, the heartless snoring of the two dogs reached his ears.
He looked down and saw that the two dogs were on their backs, their mouths wide open, their tongues dragged from the side of their mouths to the old clothes, and their saliva flowed out.
Li Tian smiled, turned to look at the ceiling, looked at the stars outside the window, and slowly fell asleep accompanied by Ergou's snoring.
He had a long dream, in which birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.
Grandpa waved to him from a distance and motioned for him to go over. After he passed by, he saw that everyone in the village was there, Aunt Wang, Uncle Fugui, Mr., and the old locksmith. They were all sitting together drinking tea and chatting. This was a village event when he was a child.
During the banquet scene, he saw himself running around in the open space holding a colorful windmill.
The faces of the elders in the village are also filled with happy smiles.
I don't know how much time passed like this.
The painting style of the scene in the dream suddenly changed, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers disappeared, the elders chatting in the village also disappeared, and even the village disappeared, leaving him alone.
He stood on the empty lake. The lake was the reflection of the white clouds in the sky, and there was nothing around him.
Suddenly, black shadows appeared in the lake and floated in front of him. They were dogs covering their mouths and laughing...
There were countless of them, and they surrounded him.
They all looked at him sideways and laughed in various ways: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, goose, goose, goose."
Li Tian didn't know that he was dreaming. He felt that his mind was in chaos, and countless voices exploded in his head. He waved the dog in front of him and started to run forward.
The dog behind him followed closely and couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard he tried.
"I really want to escape, but I can't." Li Tian cried in his heart.
Just like that, it chased him and fled, but he couldn't fly without wings.
As he ran, Li Tian felt exhausted, but the vicious dogs behind him were still chasing after him. Soon, he was surrounded again.
He sat desperately on the water and looked at the group of dogs around him.
The dogs babbled and babbled crazily, torturing his spirit.
Just then, "Brother Tian, Brother Tian..." he heard Ergou's voice.
He woke up from his sleep and slowly opened his eyes. A ray of light in the morning had shone through the window into the room.
The two dogs were lying next to the bed, with their heads exposed.
Li Tian pushed himself up and sat up, his clothes already wet with sweat.
"This is the second time..." Li Tian said to himself.
"Brother Tian, what's wrong with you? I just saw you looking ferocious." Ergou asked by the bedside.
"It's okay, I had a nightmare,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I'll take a shower and you clean up." Li Tian said and walked out of the room.
The two dogs jumped back to the ground and followed him out of the door.
The sun slowly climbed up the hillside, and a blush appeared on the horizon. The little hen at Aunt Li's house next door clucked a few times to make sure.
Li Tian walked to the yard, carrying a big bag on his back, and looked around. He wanted to take a closer look at the place where he had lived for more than ten years.
He walked to the door with his two dogs, turned back to the small tree in the corner and said, "When I come back, I hope you will grow up a little." Li Tian said with a smile.
"Let's go, Ergou." Li Tian stepped out of the door.
Ergou responded with an oh and followed his footsteps.
They walked to the entrance of the village, and Aunt Wang had already been waiting there for an unknown amount of time. She was probably afraid that Li Tian and the others would leave without saying goodbye.
"Auntie." Li Tian waved to her from afar.
Aunt Wang's face was haggard, and there were some red bloodshot eyes.
Aunt Wang stepped forward and said, "You are here." Aunt Wang looked at Li Tian with a gentle face.
"Auntie didn't make buns this morning, so she brought you something else to eat to cushion your stomach on the way." She said, taking the bag in her left hand and handing it to Li Tian.
Li Tian took it and saw that there was a small bag on Aunt Wang's right hand. He didn't know what it contained.
"In addition, this is what Auntie has saved over the years... I originally wanted to marry you a wife. Now that you are going out, there must be a lot of money needed on the way. Take it." Aunt Wang said, putting her right hand
The small bag was handed to him.
Li Tian quickly waved his hand and refused, "I have money myself, Auntie, I can't take your money."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang took his hand, forced it into his hand and said, "Aunt, I can't spend much money alone. I can still make more. You don't know how much money you will use along the way. Besides, this money is meant to be used."
It’s for you, take it.” Aunt Wang’s tone was strong and she could not refuse.
Li Tian took the heavy bag of money and held it tightly in his hand.
He moved forward and hugged the woman who was half a head shorter than him tightly. Aunt Wang smiled and patted his back gently.
"Silly boy, it's not like I can't see you again." Aunt Wang comforted her.
Li Tian let go of Aunt Wang and said, "Aunt, I will come back to see you when I have time."
Aunt Wang stretched out her hand to straighten Li Tian's collar, "Well, come back and see me when you have time, go ahead."
Li Tian turned around and took one last deep look at the village, waved to Aunt Wang, and walked out of the village.
"Goodbye, aunt." At this time, the transparent dog also waved goodbye to Aunt Wang and walked towards Li Tian in front.
Aunt Wang stood at the entrance of the village for a long time, and she did not leave until Li Tianergou's figure disappeared from her sight. She was afraid that her brat had forgotten something and would miss it if he came back.
After Li Tian left, he put his baggage in the compass to lighten the burden, leaving only his own savings with him.
"Brother Tian, how long do we have to walk to reach Lingtian City?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Ergou asked Li Tian.
"Don't worry, we're not walking there. Our village is too remote. Let's take a bus to the next village. Hehe, you haven't taken a bus before. Brother Tian will show you the world today," Li Tian replied.
The two of them walked forward for about half an hour, bypassing three hills, and finally arrived at their destination, "Chehe." There were two big words written on the sign at the entrance of the village. This is Chehe Village. It is said that the people in this village are all
The surname is Che or He, hence the name.
At this time, there were five people waiting at the entrance of the village, holding large and small bags. They looked like they were going to go out by car.
"Brother Tian, have you ever been to Lingtian City?" Because he stood relatively far away, Ergou's words were not heard by the five people in front of him.
"I have never been there. Lingtian City is so far away and it takes more than half a month to go there and back." Li Tian replied.
"Oh." Ergou thought silently, "It turns out he's just a country bumpkin."
While he was talking, a white car, several meters long and with four big wheels, came speeding up from a distance. The two dogs were stunned for a moment.
"Let's go, get in the car, native dog." Li Tian looked at Ergou's surprised expression, waved his hand, and took the lead.
"Nasi, you country bumpkin called me a country dog." Ergou slandered and quickly followed.
Li Tian and his dog got into the car. The driver glanced at them and said, "Hold the dog on your lap, don't disturb others."
"Okay, okay." Li Tian responded quickly, grabbed the two dogs with one hand and found a seat to sit down.
The car started and slowly left Chehe.
An old lady, with a small black bag hanging on her waist, stood up from the seat at the front of the car and started walking back.
"Where are you going?" the old lady asked one by one to the passengers who had just got on the bus.
"We will stand in the end." Li Tian responded.
"Stop at a hundred." said the old lady.
"Oh." As he said this, Li Tian took out a silver coin from the small bag and handed it to the old aunt. The old aunt took the silver coin and handed him a ticket, then walked back to continue collecting money.
This train takes three hours and there are only two buses a day.
Li Tian hadn't left the village for a long time, sitting by the window and quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.
Ergou was standing on his lap, lying on the window and blowing in the wind, with his tongue flying in the wind. All of this was novel to him.
"Hey, hey, take care of your dog and don't stick its head out." The driver's voice came from the front, pulling him out of his daze.
Li Tian followed up, then pulled Ergou back. "Be honest, I haven't seen the world."
Ergou could only give up in frustration.
Three hours passed while swaying along the way.
The car entered the station, and Li Tian got out of the car with his two dogs. Unlike the village, there was a lively market next to the station. It was almost noon, and it was even more crowded.
"Don't get lost." Li Tian told Ergou. "We'll find a place to have a meal, and we'll take a bus in the afternoon."
"I know." Ergou responded, but his eyes swept around.
