Tongluo Town Love

Chapter 4 Unexpected Turnaround

The noon sun is a bit poisonous.

When Abai was climbing up the mountain, he happened to have the sun on his head, his face was hot from the sun, and he was dripping with sweat.

He decided that he should climb Tongluo Mountain no matter what, and meet his grandfather first.

In fact, grandpa was a stranger to him.

Grandpa lives in the mountains, he lives in the town, and we don't see each other often.

People in the town have been taking care of him since he was a child, and he just feels in his heart that he has a relative on that mountain.

Now Abai has calmed down.

Because a question suddenly occurred to me.

I am 19 years old now, and the youngest of the other left-behinds in the town is over 70 years old. Calculated according to the longevity of a hundred years old, in another 30 years, I will be left alone in Tongluo Town.

Wouldn't you be free then?
That is to say, there is still a chance to see the outside world in this life, so I won't be too desperate.

For a person like him who has never left Tongluo Town, all expectations of the outside world can be suppressed completely.

It's just that I'm not reconciled, but I still care about Maggie.

At this time, thinking that Su Su is still willing to give up so many things, willing to stay, I feel warm in my heart.

But he won't accept Su Su's feelings, it has nothing to do with love or not at this point, he doesn't want to sacrifice the youth of a beautiful girl.

Anyone can predict that the days to come may be bleak.

Let's be bleak!It's worth doing something for a few hundred people.

In the past half a day, Abai felt that he was weather-beaten.

Recently, it has been full of dreams, and soon the dreams will be shattered.

She can't follow Maggie, and it's impossible for Majesty to stay in Tongluo Town because of him, which means this love is over!
Abai let out a long sigh.

It hurts, it hurts, I have to let it go this time!
Su Su has also gone for several hours, and it seems that he has caught up with the tractor driven by his father.

There was a real possibility that the man would come back, but there was no hope that Principal Bubba would be able to save him.

Even Jiang Yang's bandits can't deal with these old men in the town, how can a helpless old scholar rescue a person!

Still he was grateful.

After this experience, I feel that Su Su should be treated kindly. Apart from not being able to love him, he must try his best to make up for it in other aspects in the future.

It was the first time I felt that Tongluo Mountain was very high, and I was out of breath when I climbed halfway up the mountain.

Abai stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked down at Tongluo Town at the foot of the mountain.

It was the first time I paid close attention to this ancient town that was born and raised in Si, and I really felt a deep shock.From here, you can see the shadow of the once prosperous town. The houses that have long been uninhabited have a sense of dilapidation, but they are only covered with a thick layer of dust.

The whole town is built of stone.The raw material is the same stone, but the architectural styles are various, but there is no sense of disobedience. This may be the mark of tolerance in Tongluo Town.

Only then did I notice that on the hillsides around the town, there were actually many lush trees in some courtyards, but they were covered by dust.

yes!It is already midsummer, but Tongluo Town has not dropped a drop of rain.

If it can be washed by a heavy rain, the town will have more vitality.

This linear area inhabited by people is slightly cleaner than other areas, and the trees can also see green.

Tongluo Town School is in the middle of this area, and it has been a school since ancient times.

These people's preschool education, primary school, and middle school are all completed here.

Looking at the empty compound at this time, I was really sad.

Yesterday, I could still see Majesty's big shining eyes and hear her silvery laughter at any time.

Just one day later, like a world away, many things disappeared at once,

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

He suddenly felt his legs go limp, so he sat down on the spot.

The most lively place in Tongluo Town was originally the compound where the school was located, but now it is empty.

He recalled now that the teacher's appearance was vague, and Principal Bubba was also vague, and the other male partners could not describe their specific appearances.

But Meiqi is very clear in her mind, she is not tall, she is slightly fat, but she has beautiful features.

Maggie's eyes are very round, with long eyelashes, which are always flickering.

She loves to laugh, and she can hear that kind of pure laughter anytime, anywhere.

"She's not as innocent as you think, she's just a little careless!"

Only Su Su disliked Majesty's constant laughing and always taunting her in front of her face.

Maggie was not angry, and she never seemed to take it seriously.

Abai was a little unhappy.

Because of this, he has always deliberately kept Su Su at a respectful distance.

Now that I think about it, I can understand that Su Su was only showing a little jealousy, and that he made a big fuss over a molehill.

What is strange to him is that the image of Su Su is very clear in his mind at this moment.

Su Su's face and facial features are not as good-looking as Maggie's, but she is tall and her curves show a very unique charm in the eyes of these young men who are just in love.

Thinking about it now, Su Su did a lot for him, but Maggie didn't respond to his straightforward expression.

Just thinking of Maggie felt a dull pain in my heart, but when I thought of Su Su, I didn't feel anything.

Isn't this unfair to Su Su?
Alas, things like feelings are too complicated!

I still don’t want these things anymore, they all left me!It's better to go up to see Grandpa A Zhi first, and plan how to spend your future life.

Abai continued to climb up the mountain, and he felt dizzy the higher he climbed.

In fact, I haven't seen Grandpa Ah Zhi for a long time.

In the past, he often came up the mountain with his friends. Grandpa Ah Zhi saw that he was no different from other children, so he didn't say a word.But he himself feels completely different. This skinny old man is his true relative, a feeling that other old people in the town cannot give.

For the first time, I felt that the distance to climb the mountain was very long, but I finally climbed up.

Just when I was about to approach the Tongluo Temple, I suddenly felt someone following up from behind.

Turning around, it was Lord Zhan, the mayor of the town.

There is a big wooden box on the back of Mr. Zhan, and the man in his 70s walks like flying.

That wooden box is so familiar, it is specially used to deliver meals to grandpa.

Every day in the town, after the previous family delivers dinner, the wooden box will be delivered to the next family, and so on.

When it's the turn of the family, when the meal is cooked, serve it up for Grandpa A Zhi, put it in a wooden box that keeps warm, and choose the person with the best feet in the family, and immediately set off up the mountain.

The whole family had to wait until the meal was sent up and came back to have a meal with Abai.This is the rule of Tongluo Town, every meal must be eaten first by Grandpa Azhi.

Those whose turn it was to take care of their grandparents and grandchildren had to cook earlier than the average family, so as to ensure that Abai and his family could have meals at normal times.

When he was very young, Abai thought that everyone ate his exquisite meals.

When I was a little older, I saw at other people's dinner tables that everyone usually had a rough meal, and only when it was their turn to take care of their meals would they make a good meal with their heart.

Because of this, Abai did not feel inferior in Tongluo Town because he had no father or mother since he was a child.

Now that I think about it, it is not too unjust to sacrifice my entire youth for this town.

Abai and Lord Zhan approached the Tongluo Temple together, and Grandpa Ah Zhi was lying on that clumsy wooden bed with a pipe in his mouth in a daze.

Master Zhan first moved an equally clumsy wooden table placed in the corner to the center, and then took off the wooden box on his back.

"Master Abai, please bring those stools here. Today I brought not only your food, but also my own! There is also a bottle of wine, which was brought back from Huzhen. If you are willing to drink, I will drink with you grandpa and grandson today."

Master Zhan smiled at Abai.

"Abai? Lao Zhan, you said he is Abai!"

Grandpa Ah Zhi got up suddenly from the bed, and walked towards Abai, his eyes shining.

"Yeah, Grandpa! Don't you? Don't you know me? I come up a lot."

"Abai, you have grown up so much! My precious grandson, you have finally grown up."

Abai is a little confused. Over the years, he has come up to visit with his friends countless times, but this old man doesn't even know who his grandson is!
Grandpa Ah Zhi had already rushed over, and he wanted to hug him, but he stopped suddenly.

Abai could understand his grandfather's mood at this time, and he always felt that his grandson was a little boy, and he suddenly became a strong young man standing in front of him, and he couldn't adapt for a while.

Abai took the initiative to hug his grandfather tightly, and for the first time experienced the solid feeling of being with his relatives.

Grandpa Ah Zhi was already in tears.

"Abby, how old are you?"

"Grandpa, grandson is 19 years old this year!"

"Huh? Why are you still here at the age of 19? Why don't you go out?"

"go out?"

Abai was taken aback, thinking he had heard wrong.

He turned his head and glanced at Mr. Zhan.

Master Zhan was putting the food on the table one by one, and he was stunned when he heard this.

"Yeah! You are so old, you can survive outside, why are you still here?"

"Grandpa, what do you mean?"

Abai thought he heard it wrong, a little excited and a little confused.

"Master Ah Zhi, didn't you leave Young Master Abai in town to take over your official title?" Master Zhan asked.

"What official title! Abai is the grandson, and it should be A Duan who will replace me. I kept him because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to take him out with A Duan's appearance, and secondly, I hoped to drag this kid back!"

"Well, it seems that the people in the town misunderstood the meaning of the master. But now that it has reached this point, it is estimated that Master Aduan will not come back. Why don't you make two-handed preparations, and give it to Young Master Abai first. Teach your skills while waiting for Master A Duan to come back."

"Old Zhan, you are so foolish! Fortunately, your family's ancestors also had official meals. This kind of thing is about inheritance. The grandfather passed it on to the grandson, and it was interrupted in the middle, how to pass it on!"

"Oh, I see!"

Master Zhan suddenly realized, "Shouldn't we have chased Master A Duan back?"

"You finally understand?"

"Blame me for being stupid, this matter should have been arranged long ago."

Abai was overjoyed when he heard that, "So I can leave town? Isn't that right, grandpa?"

"You're an adult now, and you make your own decisions."

"Young Master Abai can't leave either! When Master Ah Duan comes back, doesn't Young Master Abai still have to inherit it? He has gone out, and it will take some trouble to chase him back. Fortunately, he hasn't received any trouble from outside yet. The world is tempting. Don't worry, Master Ah Zhi! Cheng Rujia's daughter, Su Su, is willing to stay in the town with the young master."

"Master Zhan, Su Su has left!"

Abai was anxious when he heard that.

"She will come back. That girl is devoted to you. We know he is going to rescue soldiers and wants you to leave the town. It's not like Bubba doesn't know the details of the town, so let the girl do her best."

Seeing that the glimmer of hope was about to be dashed again, Abai hurried over to beg his grandfather, "Grandpa, I don't want to stay here forever!"

"Haha, don't worry, my precious grandson doesn't need to stay here now that he's grown up. Lao Zhan. How old are you this year?"

"Back to Master Ah Zhi, I am seventy-two today."

"How old is the youngest in town?"

"Just like me."

"Do you know how old Ah Duan is this year?"

"Should it be fifty?"

"Old Zhan, don't you understand? Everyone in the town is dead, but Ah Duan is still alive! Who can say clearly what will happen in the future. Is it not good for you to meddle in the younger generation's affairs?"

"Oh, I understand! Master Ah Zhi, I will take someone to chase Master A Duan back today! The future problems will be solved by the people in the future. Young Master Abai, you can leave when there is a car coming in .”

Master Zhan said, walked out of the Tongluo Temple, sucked his mouth with his hands, and yelled down the mountain twice.

Abai followed, and saw the people on the sentry below waving their hands and then retreated.

"Thank you Master Zhan! Thank you Grandpa!"
