Omniscient and Almighty

   Chapter 989

   The county town was heading northeast, on the official road leading to the state capital, a big guy like a cow pulled a scooter and walked slowly forward.

  The four hooves with the big mouth of the bowl stepped on the old bluestone road and made a slightly dull sound of "吭吭", but it seemed to add a sound to the monotonous itinerary.

  Many children from merchants grew up listening to the voice of babble, and in the voice of babble, they became young, middle-aged, old, and finally left this world.

   A chubby little girl of seven or eight years old climbed from the scooter to the back of the camel beast, and skillfully hung a basket on the head of the camel beast.

   That basket was filled with hay so the llama could chew on it as it traveled.

This is actually not a meal but a snack for it, but before eating the snack, it raised its head and licked the little girl's hand affectionately with its big tongue, the little girl laughed ticklishly, and then patted the camel beast with her hand The big head, climbed back into the scooter behind.

   On the left rear of the scooter, a young man in his twenties sat.

   The little girl kept crawling to the vicinity of the young man, um, not too close, and then did not speak, just looked at him with wide eyes, and seemed to have a smile in her eyes.

   The smile is full of innocence.

   And her smile seemed to be expecting something from the young man.

  The young man did not disappoint her, and said with a smile, "Da Ni, great job! Da Ni, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

  Dani tilted her head, seeming to be puzzled by his question, and she doesn't seem to know how to answer.

"Sir, sit down carefully, don't fall and touch!" The man in his forties who was sitting in front of the scooter looking at the camel beast turned around, greeted with concern, and then said with an explanation: "My baby accidentally fell two years ago, and her head is a little bit awkward. My son, please forgive me!"

   "Oh, so, haven't you seen the pharmacist?"

   "How can I not see it! It cost a lot of money, and the wound is healed, but..." The big man pointed to his head, and then his eyes were a little red, and he couldn't speak.

   The little girl was still looking at the young man ignorantly.

   The young man reached out and beckoned.

   The little girl burst into a smile and quickly climbed up to the young man's side, but did not make any further movement.

The young man reached out and stroked the little girl's head, then asked casually, "Lao Mu, the signboard of your house has three circles on the outside of the wooden character. This mark is familiar to me. Do you know a man named Mu? A lot of people?"

   Hearing this, the man who was driving the car was a little surprised, but the woman who had been arranging the goods on the other side of the trolley with her head lowered, also stopped.

   "Young Master... Dare to ask, how old are you talking about Mu Dayou?" After hesitating for a while, the man said so.

   "Well, I calculate, if he is still alive now, he should be more than 150 years old." The young man said.

And when he heard this, the man driving the car was even more surprised. This time he was surprised for a long time before he spoke, and he was obviously hesitant in his words, "Master, my great grandfather is called Mu Dayou, which is in line with what you said. age, but he has been dead for many years."

   "Oh, that should be right." After a pause, the young man said this, but there was no follow-up.

   The driver was hesitant to talk a few times, but he didn't know what to say or ask, and her mother-in-law continued to organize the goods.

The    atmosphere continued a little strangely throughout the afternoon, until in the evening, the camel beast pulled the trolley off the official road, and the family prepared dinner and rested for a while.

  The moon is bright today. After a rest, you can continue on your way at night, but at a slower pace.

   But at this time, the young man got off the cart, and said to the man who was driving: "Lao Mu, I will take your car here, you are busy, we will leave it here."

   Hearing this, the man was even more hesitant, "Young master, there is no town in front of here, and there is no stack in the back. How are you going to travel alone? It's getting dark now, son, why don't you still..."

"No!" Before he could finish speaking, the young man interrupted him, waving his hand to say goodbye to him, and chuckling: "Forgot to tell you, I used to ride in Mu Dayou's car. , he was the same age as you are now, and if I remember correctly, he had a big birthmark on his right hand."

   After saying this, the young man turned around and left, and soon disappeared from the sight of this family.

   And the driver and his wife looked at each other, both of them stunned.

   "His father, he is talking about our ancestors, right?" After a while, the mother-in-law said.

   "Yes, in the portrait of my great-grandfather, there is indeed a birthmark on the back of his hand." The man has not recovered until now.

   But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from their ears, "Daddy, Mother, I'm so hungry!"

   The two of them turned their heads instantly, lowered their heads, and looked at the little girl beside them, "Xiaoyu, you can speak!?" The man shouted in shock, and after the woman was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned red.

   "Tell daddy, are you really able to speak?" The next moment, the man's two rough hands placed on the little girl's shoulders and shook directly.

   Fortunately, he was still paying attention to his strength, but he was still a little out of control.

   "Daddy, I've always been able to talk!" The little girl raised her head and said, then reached out to wipe the big man's tears, "Daddy, why are you crying?"

  Yes, the little girl can talk all the time, but after the fall, she just said eh, ah, etc.

   Can't even say two words.

   And most of the time, she never made a sound.

  's eyes are also a little dull.

   Where is it like now?

   "Quick, bye, quick, bye! We have met a saint!" After a moment's stunned, the man suddenly said hurriedly, and even his words were a little unclear.

   Then he took the mother-in-law's hand and the little girl's hand, and the three of them knelt on the ground.

   The young man is Xu Yishan.

  Xu Yishan is not a saint, he is not even a heavenly rank, but for this family of three, there seems to be no difference between him and a saint.

More than a hundred years ago, when he came to Annan County to take office, on a whim, he took a camel car and walked slowly all the way. It took more than half a month from Nanzhou to reach the county seat. The owner of the camel car was Mu. A lot.

  Time goes by, and I don’t realize it for a hundred years.

   From the descendants of Mu Dayou, Xu Yishan felt the passage of time.

  The official road is still the same official road, and it seems to be no different from more than a hundred years ago, but it is a little old, or there is a town next to the official road passing by at noon, which was not there more than a hundred years ago.

   And apart from these, it seems that nothing has changed.

   has actually changed, he himself.

   When he came, he looked like he was in his forties, similar to Mu Da.

   Today, the descendants of Mu Dayou are also in their forties, but he looks much younger than back then.

  Xu Yishan was not in a hurry. This way, along the official road, he stopped and walked like an ordinary person.

   On the official road, camels and carts came and went from time to time, and he rubbed a section from time to time.

Listening to the old man talking about some anecdotes about Nanzhou and the county town, listening to the big man talking about some stories in the business trip, occasionally some young girls express a good impression on him, and there are also some little boys and girls crawling around him to play, right? He cast a curious look.

  Just like this, either walking or on different camels, Xu Yishan spent seven days this time, from the county town to the state capital.

  Tall city walls, quaint city walls.

The city walls are all built with huge bluestones. The height is actually not very high, only more than ten meters, while the width is more than forty meters. Just above the two sides of the city wall facing the official road, there are wine flags fluttering and stack flags flying. .

   In the distance, the image of a majestic and majestic city is reflected in the vision of all who come.

   Standing under the city gate, seeing how many years and layers of thick moss had been covered at the bottom of the city wall, Xu Yishan smiled and sighed:

"I'm back."
