Chapter 2 Old House()

Le Lang took Saburo's little hand and walked forward, passing by rows of old houses with stone bases, white walls and red tiles. In the distance was a primary school. The primary school was very quiet among the green mountains and green waters. It might be time to finish class now.

, the joyful laughter of children came from the school. There was a row of phoenix trees around the school. Whenever the spring rain continued, the attractive red flowers would bloom, making people enchanted. Whenever the spring flowers bloomed, here

It will become a paradise for men in the village to pick up girls. It is said that at this time, girls are easily moved and it is easy to propose marriage.

Grandpa Lelang's house is on the east side of the village, almost at the end of the mountain stream.

Grandpa Lelang has two sons, but they moved out long ago, leaving Grandpa Lelang to live alone in the old house. Lelang’s parents lived in the old house after they came to Xiaoxi Village. Grandpa Lelang

After his death, his brother-in-law left the house to Le Lang, as well as the land disclosed by his grandfather. Le Lang's brother-in-law had nothing to say about how good Le Lang was. He was very touched by this.

Lelang walked slowly with Sanlang, and Sanlang looked around curiously. Passing by the village canteen, he bought a bag of rice and a lot of instant noodles, ham and sausage. In the past six years, almost everything in the house has become moldy or infected by insects.

I've eaten all of it. If I don't buy some, I'll be drinking the northwest wind today.

There were no people on the road, and they had all gone to the ground. After Le Lang left, the man at the canteen was still thinking to himself who this person was, and why he had never seen him before. You must know that there are more than 300 households in this village, and 1,000 people.

There was no one she didn't recognize from multiple populations, but Lelang was obviously an exception.

In front of Grandpa Lelang's old house is a lake formed by the water flowing over the mountains over the years. The lake is sandwiched between the old house and a mountain. I heard that the place where the old house used to be was a hillside, but it was flattened to build a house.

The location of the old house is considered to be the highest in the village.

Above the lake is a deep mountain forest. In the sixties or so, I heard about tigers coming down the mountain to eat pigs. Even Lelang had seen people selling tiger bones and tiger whips when he was a child, but now he doesn't see them much. At the exit of the lake

There is an old banyan tree hanging over the lake. As a prank, I don’t know who planted the roots of the old banyan tree on the opposite peak, forming a small bridge in the shape of an "in". There is also a banyan tree planted on the opposite peak.

The long roots of the banyan tree are connected with the thick fibrous roots of the old banyan tree, which is a wonder. I remember that it didn't exist before, and I don't know which naughty boy made it.

Le Lang came to the old house carrying a 50-pound bag of rice and stood at the door, looking at the mottled walls. After not returning home for six years, the white ash on the walls peeled off, and he looked like "there is only family happiness at home."

The couplet "Only do things in a broad and broad manner" was also eroded by the rain, leaving only a few words.

He took out the key from the stone pier under the door, opened the rusty lock, and opened the door. The sky was filled with dust and smoke, and it took a long time to stop.

Grandpa Lelang's old house is a courtyard with two entrances. As soon as you walk in, you will see four tall longan trees on the left and right surrounded by two people.

The tall and big old longan tree thought that the fruits it produced must be abundant and delicious, but Colerang realized that these two trees were just weird trees with only long branches and leaves, but no flowers or fruits.

After not returning home for many years, the leaves that fell on the ground have become moldy and rotten, giving off a rotten smell in the yard.

The small courtyard is almost more than 100 square meters, and is densely covered by tall longan trees. There is an ancient well made of white stone on the left hand side. I heard that this ancient well existed long before the house was built. The specific history is unknown, but

The well water is sweet, crystal clear and will never dry up.

Walking through the small courtyard, there is a red-tiled brick house with two rooms and one living room in front of it. There are doors dug on both sides of the front hall, and the statues of gods are enshrined in the middle. They have not been cleaned for many years. There are dense spider webs everywhere. When I touch the Eight Immortals Table in front of the statues, it is thick.

The dust is as thick as a foot.

Passing through the front hall, there are corridors on both sides. There is a square patio in the middle, and behind it is a two-story building. Behind the building is a piece of land of about three acres. The land has not been cleared for many years and is already covered with weeds.

Clustered.

Walking into the small building, dust was everywhere. A ray of sunlight shone through the skylight on the roof, and cobwebs were tangled in every corner. The roof tiles above were corroded by the years, and some of them had turned into dust and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of dust.

Piles of red powder, some fell to the ground, and the blue sky outside was vaguely visible.

The old house was renovated once when my grandfather was young, but it was still unable to withstand the erosion of time and was tired. Fortunately, when the house was built in the past, white stone and red bricks were used. The foundation and wall frame structure were very solid, but the appearance and

If the roof tiles are peeling off, just find time to repair them.

Roofing in rural areas is also very particular, usually every 12 years, but Grandpa Lelang's old house has obviously exceeded this period.

There was dust everywhere in the house, and there was a smell of mold and decay in the air, sometimes accompanied by the smell of rat urine. Le Lang opened all the windows, and it seemed that he would not be able to sleep at night unless the place was cleaned.

Already.

He found a broom and started cleaning hard. In his own room alone, he swept several buckets of garbage. There were also a lot of rat droppings and a bunch of bones from nowhere. It turned out that the whole house had become a rat's nest.

After cleaning the floor, he found a useless cloth and wiped it. After doing it for a long time, he finally made his room look like someone lived in it. Lelang wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt that doing these things was more convenient.

I am still tired from fighting in the sea.

Sanlang also helped a little on the side, taking a rag and wiping it left and right, but he didn't know what he was doing.

After working for a long time, Lelang's stomach was already growling. He went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water. Fortunately, the firewood was still usable. He cooked a few packs of instant noodles with some ham and corn sausages in them. He ate them first.

, I will eat better at night. I washed a few sets of dishes and chopsticks, got a basin and put them in. I also found a broken earthenware basin and put some for Sanshen. Sanshen had a great appetite and ate everything. He was happy

It seemed to Lang that they were all caused by hunger in the past.

I haven't eaten instant noodles for a long time, but they taste good. I finished my meal in a hurry, rested for a while, and then started cleaning again. It took me a whole day to clean one floor. It seems that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and there is still a long way to go.

In the evening, Le Lang cooked some porridge with ham and corn sausage kernels in it. It was quite delicious, but unfortunately there was no meat or vegetables, so he had to make do with it and buy it tomorrow. Just now Le Lang ran into the backyard to see it.

I checked to see if there were any surviving vegetables or anything, but I saw a patch of weeds and shrubs as tall as a person, and I couldn't help but run back a little frustrated.

As the sun set in the west, a red sun in the distance reflected the entire mountain stream, and the stream meandered downwards. Lelang and Sanlang each held a rice bowl and sat on the stone pier next to the lake while watching the sunset.

He shoveled the porridge into his mouth.

In the distance, a melon-skin boat slowly approached from a distance. Suddenly, a loud song came from the boat:

“Whoever abandons me will not retain yesterday’s day.

Those who disturb my mind will have many worries today.

The long winds send autumn geese flying thousands of miles away, and you can enjoy this high-rise building.

The Penglai article is written in Jian'an Gu, with small Xie in the middle and clear hair.

We are all full of joy, full of energy and thoughts, and want to go to the blue sky to see the bright moon.

Cut off the water with a knife and the water will flow more. Raising a cup to relieve sorrow will make it more sorrowful.
