We are going to return to Xiaogou Village again, but this time, the father and son's mood is completely different from last time. The last time we returned to Xiaogou Village was for Wang Lizhi. This time, it was for the grave sweeping. Before Long Han left, both father and son thought of Lin Xuejiao's grave to take a look.

Long Liexu knew that it would be hard to tell when his father would be back as soon as he left.

In places like Robin, the temperature is still quite high in July, and the sun above his head is also very poisonous, probably because the altitude of Yn Province is generally high. In Robin, the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong, and people who are often outside will have a purple-black skin. As the people who work hard in the ground, although everyone is wearing straw hats and bamboo felts, the sweat-flowing faces are still as deep as the earth.

Watering, weeding, and fertilizing. The peppers in the field that have been picked must be picked up again, the soil in the field is hoed and fertilizer is applied again, so that new seeds and new hopes are sprinkled, and the family is counting on this piece of land. The pulled peppers cannot be thrown away, and they need to be carefully selected. Some of the picked or have not yet grown can be picked now, and they can be used to make pickles at home. After the remaining branches and leaves are dried, they will be taken to the kitchen at home to cook. This is life.

Walking on the country road, Long Liexue's mood is no longer as sad as morning. The contest between father and son has vented the trace of separation in Long Liexue's heart. The father and son are not born with people who are good at expressing their feelings. That contest is a way of communication before the father and son part.

There are vegetable fields on both sides of the path. In the eggplant field half a person high, the smooth surface of the long eggplant actually has a dazzling brilliance under the sun. Between the vegetable fields of each hill are rows of ditches about one meter wide. Some little boys with bare butts are carrying small nets (a fishing tool that is very light and looks like a funnel) and are tossing in the vegetable ditch, loach, eel, small meat fish, and crucian carp the size of half a palm. If you are lucky, you can get about a bowl of trophy, take it home, fry it with oil, it is fragrant and crispy. For those children, it is a rare delicacy. Sometimes, you may find one or two yellow-green water snakes, usually accompanied by water snakes, which is mixed with excitement and panic. If those caught unlucky water snakes can write, then their future encounters can be completely written into a tear-jerking documentary.

The way to rest in the hot summer is to find a cool and grassy place to lie down, pick two eggplants and eat them raw. Don’t think that eggplant cannot be eaten raw. Pick the eggplant and put it on the grass and rub it with your hands. After breaking it apart, it will be a piece of flesh. The taste is sweet, and the sweetness will not be the same as the time and strength of kneading the eggplant. Those little kids are all skilled in this way. One eggplant can taste thousands of flavors in their hands. No matter whose field they pick, the adults will only smile when they see it. Who doesn’t have a baby? They have also done this with their butts back then! This is the happiness of children in rural areas. Those children living in cities may not be able to experience it in their lifetime.

Looking at those carefree children, Long Liexue envies them very much. Really, very envious! Long Liexue also has a childhood. Everyone has more or less a bit of this emotion when they see things they cannot get. In front of Long Han, Long Liexue cannot hide his thoughts, nor does it need to hide his thoughts.

No one knows a son is better than a father!

"Everyone has his own path. When you envy others, perhaps more people are envious of you!"

Hearing his father's words, Long Liexu smiled and withdrew his gaze that he had cast into the fields, but the sound of the children's playfulness came faintly in his ears. The father's words were right. Everyone has their own way. Happiness will always pass, and the future is still long. Now I really don't have to envy anyone anymore. In fact, Xiaopang and the others envy themselves, and Ren Ziwei... why do you think of Ren Ziwei again? This... I really don't know what to do? Long Liexu shook his head helplessly. There must be a way before the car arrives at the mountain!

Looking along the winding path that was passing through the fields, the outline of Xiaogou Village was clearly visible in the distance where green and purple intersected.

Compared to the last time I came here, Xiaogou Village was basically the same as before. After all, it was only a few months, so it was unlikely to expect any earth-shaking changes to Xiaogou Village. However, there are still some changes, although not too many, at least it gave people some fresh feeling.

The first change that caught my eye was that the old tree stump at the entrance of the village that had been buried for many years had disappeared. Long Liexue had a deep impression of the old tree stump. The old tree stump was like a witness to the history of Xiaogou Village that had been stormy and rainy. With the disappearance of the old tree stump, the road at the entrance of the village suddenly seemed to be much wider. Like the old tree stump, the village threshing farm has changed. The current threshing farm has expanded a lot compared to before, and the expanded place is also made of cement.

The flat ground is paved with piles of cattle food on it. In the past, this could probably be regarded as a luxury, but now, if you catch a villager from Xiaogou Village, he can tell you with a proud tone: "What's this? A car that only has three doors, a provincial capital, a big guy of millions, is the kind of car that you can see on TV that only rich foreigners ride. There are more people in our Xiaogou Village!"

When Long Liexue and Long Han arrived at Xiaogou Village, everyone who saw Long Han greeted Long Han respectfully. Many people were unable to name Long Liexue. Everyone in Xiaogou Village knew that Long Han came to Xiaogou Village. If something hadn't happened in Xiaogou Village, he would definitely have come to visit the tombs. Today, when everyone saw the hoe and sickle that Long Liexue brought - Long Han was here to visit the tombs today.

Lin Xuejiao's tomb and Long Liexue's grandparents' tomb are buried on a small hill not far from Xiaogou Village. The cemetery is something that Long Liexue's grandparents left behind from their ancestors. Through the village, Long Liexue and Long Liexue did not stop in the village. They crossed the familiar stone bridge. On the left is the farmland and on the right is the small river that crossed the stone bridge. In the river, there were also a group of children playing in the water. Following the small path with a wide pole by the river, only two incense sticks, Long Liexue and Long Liexue have arrived at the foot of the mountain where they have been many times!

The mountains here are very distinctive, unlike the mountains in most places in yn. Many of the mountains here always appear in a certain place so neatly, just like the sharp corner of the ingot, standing on a high place to look at the mountain, you will feel that you are not looking at the mountain, but looking at the island that emerges from the green sea. In spring, the "sea surface" turns golden, which is endless rapeseed flowers. The old people say that since ancient times, Robin's place is beautiful, and the mountains and rivers gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and sooner or later, a great nobleman will be produced. Long Liexue also heard this statement when he was in school. The time when this statement was originally produced is no longer verified. What these old people are talking about is what they heard from the previous generation of old people, as for how the previous generation of old people know,

This may have to be traced back to the older generation of old people... Long Liexue has always sneered at this statement. In Long Liexue's opinion, Robin seems to have never had a person who can afford to be described as "noble people" since ancient times. Besides, a person's achievements depend on his own efforts and opportunities, so what does it have to do with the world and the mountains and rivers? For this reason, Long Liexue even specialized in researching Robin's local chronicles. Before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Robin's place was basically a barren land without anyone to manage. Even now, the biggest person that Robin "produced" seems to have just been a minister in the province. - During the high school celebration, Long Liexue had seen it on the rostrum! But in Long Liexue's impression, he could not match the "noble people".

Let go of these things first. Every time Long Liexue comes to visit the tomb, he will be amazed at the decisions made by his ancestors when he was alive. If his ancestors who had passed away at home are buried here, even if they are in the spring, they will probably not be lonely.

The sun at noon made the ubiquitous green on the mountain seem to be dripping water. When walking on the path up the mountain, Long Liexue suddenly felt a cool feeling that penetrated his heart. The path was covered with mottled shadows. Because of the strong contrast of light and darkness, the spots that sprinkled on the path between the shade of the trees were scattered and scattered in the light and scattered on the path between the trees, like gold, and on the ground. On the noon on such a hot summer day, walking on such a path, although the cold and heat are gone, Long Liexue still felt that this was a pleasure. The cicadas hiding in the trees and grass, and the birds on the branches or in the sky, all added a bit of tranquility to the mountains out of thin air - the cicadas silence the forest is quieter, and the birds singing the mountains are more secluded. It is probably the scene in front of you.

He hovered along the path on the mountain for a while, a breeze mixed with the fragrance of pine leaves blew, and then turned left. The terrain in front of him suddenly became clear and was about to arrive! Long Liexue could not guess his father's thoughts at this moment, because Long Han had almost never said much along the way today. His father's mood today should be very complicated, right? Long Liexue, who was carrying a hoe and a sickle, could only follow Long Han silently.

If you can see where the tomb of Long Liexue's family is buried, you may understand why Long Liexue sighed at the decision of his ancestors.

The tombs on the Long Liexue Mother Clan are like terraces. There are three floors in total. There are two on the top floor, which are from Long Liexue's grandmother and grandfather. The middle floor is from Long Liexue's grandmother and grandmother. The bottom floor is from Long Liexue's mother. The three floors of tombs face the east. There is a dense pine forest on both sides and behind the tomb. The wind sways. The entire cemetery covers more than one acre. The outside of the cemetery is a semi-arc shape made of neat bluestone, surrounded from high to low. Each tomb is made of green.

The stone inlaid the edge of the grave, and there are high tombstones in front of the grave. Each floor is also a surface paved with bluestone. The bluestone steps make the entire cemetery look grand and solemn. This is the style of Long Han. There is only one cemetery on the whole mountain, which is still super exaggerated. Long Liexu couldn't figure out how his grandfather and grandmother turned such a large piece of land into the private property of the Lin family. This cemetery can even be expanded to several layers depending on the generations without appearing crowded.

However, what really made Long Liexu sigh was not the size of this cemetery, but the scenery around this cemetery.

The front of the cemetery faces the east, with a wide terrain. It extends along the cemetery to the foot of the mountain. There is a stretch of lake, which is very large. At this moment, the green lake water sparkles in the sun, revealing an unspeakable vitality. The place where the lake water meets the foot of the mountain is on the shore, on the slanting shallow, at this moment, it is the wonderful colorful flowers, red, yellow, and white, just like a circle of necklaces surrounding the lake, adding a lot of color to the scenery in front of you. The reflection of the mountain shadows and tree shadows in the lake water are like a cut of a beauty in autumn, adding three points to the world. On the other side of the lake, it is another scene, the two mountains and hillsides intertwined

Square, a waterfall flows down. The waterfall is about a hundred meters wide and about fifty or sixty meters high. Under the waterfall, there are two small stacks of water about five or six meters high, just like two steps. On the steps, there are indeed millions of silver chains rushing down, falling like the Milky Way, and the water vapor splashing down the waterfall transforms into a rainbow bridge in the sunlight, crossing the waterfall, which is very beautiful. According to legend here, this waterfall is formed by the fight between the nine dragons. The waterfall is on the east side of the cemetery, like a snow-white screen. At this moment, the mountains on both sides of the waterfall are green. In autumn, the maple leaves on the mountains on both sides of the waterfall are like fire-blue water, silver chains, and Flame Mountain!

Just because of this cemetery, Long Liexu dared to conclude that his grandfather and grandmother must be a pair of elegant people! The scenery here is enough to be painted. It should be said that this place itself is a painting. If you insist on painting, the painting may not be passed on to its spirit.

When Long Han and Long Liexu came here, what they did not expect was that there was a person who had already come one step earlier than them.

Zhang Laogen was also quite surprised to see Long Han and his son.

"I haven't come to see my brother and sister-in-law for a long time," Zhang Laogen leaned over and cut off a bunch of weeds next to the cemetery, wiped a sweat, and showed a simple and a little embarrassed smile on his face, "And with this child Xuejiao, hey!"

There is no need to say anything. Long Han took a hoe and Long Liexue took a sickle. The weeds on the outer circle of the cemetery fell down in a cluster without long time. The inner circle of the cemetery was very neat, and they were all paved with bluestone. The gap between the pieces of bluestone and bluestone was very fine, and there was no weed. On the graves of the three-layer tomb, there were dense waist-high grass. According to the traditional saying of Robin, the strong grass on the grave indicates the prosperity of future generations. Long Han and Long Liexue were not superstitious. Therefore, every time they came, they rarely brought other things except for some sacrifices. But often, there were traces of paper money next to the graves in the cemetery here. There were no one else except the villagers in Xiaogou Village!

After removing the surrounding weeds, Long Han and Long Liexue were very serious from top to bottom, kneeling down and kowtowing to each grave layer by layer. When his forehead touched the still-cold bluestone surface, Long Liexue felt pious in his heart. What flowed in his body was the blood of the ancestors who had been sleeping underground. When he was very young, Long Liexue remembered that his father once told him very seriously that no matter what he would do in the future, one thing he could not forget is his ancestors! On this point, Long Han and Long Liexue were both traditional and stubborn.

Finally, when he kowtowed to his mother's grave, when he saw several yellow flowers blooming in the wind on his mother's grave, Long Liexue couldn't help feeling a little sad. The yellow flowers were like the mother's faint smile in the photo!

"Bang...bang...bang!" Three sounds went down, and Zhang Laogen, who was next to him, was shocked.

Long Liexue stood by the side with his hands hanging down, watching his father's hand gently rubbing his mother's tombstone. His father's movements were very gentle and gentle. On his mother's tombstone were two vigorous fonts: "The tomb of the beloved wife Long's snow-girl-husband Long standing crying". Others may not understand, but Long Liexue understood that the two fonts were written by his father with his fingers on the bluestone. The dark red thing that precipitated in the middle of the font is not paint, but blood. Every year on Qingming Festival or on the mother's death day

Then, the color of the font on the tombstone will become brighter again. I am not qualified to do this until now. According to my father, if my blood is qualified to be contaminated with the tombstones of my ancestors, two conditions must be met. One is that I am eighteen years old, and the other is that my personal abilities are recognized by parents in the family. Now, to be precise, I am not yet eighteen years old. Although my father has recognized his abilities, I am not qualified to do this now.

In Long Liexue's heart, it is a true honor to be qualified to do this.

"I use my blood to show my ancestors, and I am magnificent in my ancestors, sleeping on the rivers and mountains..." In my heart, Long Lie Blood silently recited...
