I really don't want to be a teacher

I ate some noodles from a street noodle shop and tasted some wild fruits from deep mountains.

The foot is either winding mountain roads, or city streets, or country lanes, or dead branches and rotten leaves accumulated in the old forest.

Going forward for a few days, I arrived here.

……

"clang……"

Gradually going forward along this mountain road, the sounds from the distance also gradually approached.

Lian Ge moved his feet, listening, watching, and walking forward.

Follow the mountain road that coils around the hillside, gradually bypass the hill beside the road, and walk to the back of the hill.

In front of me, it suddenly became clearer,

Walking forward, Lian Ge turned his gaze, followed the mountain path, and looked forward.

At the foot, the mountain road winding around the hill gradually descends, turning into a gentle slope,

The ramp is next to the hill next to the road, and gradually descends to the foot of the hill,

In front of the foot of the mountain, there are scattered residential buildings,

Or a bungalow built with bricks and covered with black tiles, or a house built with rocks and plastered with cement.

The slope extending to the foot of the mountain turns into a winding road, passing in front of other buildings, connecting each family, and then going further.

This is a village next to the foot of the mountain.

In front of the village, there are stretches of paddy fields, and some crops growing in the fields are shaking slightly with the gust of wind that blows from time to time.

A somewhat meandering river runs through the fields and around the village.

At the foot of Lian Ge, next to the roadside hill, down to the slope in front of the foot of the hill, the end is the entrance of the village.

The village is bustling with activity.

The somewhat noisy sounds of music and chaotic movements came from the village.

Walking along the ramp towards the entrance of the village,

Lian Ge turned his gaze again and looked towards the village.

In that village, on the village road,

It seems that people from the whole village gathered on the village road,

The people in the villages are crowded together, forming a somewhat stretched team,

In front of the line, several men were carrying a frame, and the hands of the frame were tied with red cloth,

On the shelf, there seemed to be some things, but it was covered with a red cloth, and the red cloth was a little raised.

In front of the men carrying the stands, there were also some old men holding suona gongs and drums, middle-aged men, walking some music,

In the front, an old man walked, striding forward, singing in harmony from time to time, leading the people behind him to move forward,

Behind the carrying shelf, there are some bustling villagers, old and young, walking with the team, most of them are carrying a plastic bag with some things in their hands, and they will say a few words in a low voice from time to time .

Some children in the team seemed to find it interesting, chasing around in the team from time to time, only to be stopped by their adults again.

Beside the line, there were a few men holding plastic bags and holding incense sticks. They waited for the elderly people in front of the line to sing in harmony, and then took out firecrackers from the plastic bags, and lit them with the burning incense in their hands.

"... What Mom told you before, you are not allowed to run around at this time, do you know..."

"...fire the cannon..."

"... Crackling..."

From time to time, there was a chorus of singing in front of the team, followed by the sound of music played in the team and the sound of lighting firecrackers.

The sound of music, singing harmony, and firecrackers are mixed.

The bustling team was a little crowded, walking along the village road.

Watching, listening, Lian Ge walked down the ramp to the entrance of the village,

Turning his gaze again, he looked in front of the bustling and bustling team in the village,

On the front side of the team, the direction of the village road is also the entrance of the village.

It seems that the bustling team is also going to the entrance of the village.

Turning his gaze away, Lian Ge glanced at the end of the ramp, at the entrance of the village at the foot of the mountain.

At the entrance of the village, there is a somewhat open and flat ground.

It seems that people in the village often come and go, and there are no weeds on the ground.

Leaving the roadside at the entrance of the village,

Next to the foot of the mountain, with its back against the hill, a place with a slightly higher terrain,

There is a slightly old building.

The building has only one room, and in front of the house is a courtyard with a wall.

Beyond the courtyard wall, you can see a tree growing in the courtyard.

The tree crossed the courtyard wall and was much higher than the house,

The branches and leaves are stretched, not like a tree in the yard,

More like the yard and that house under the trees.

……

I glanced at the entrance of the village, the buildings on the higher ground and the old tree.

Lian Ge paused his gaze, moved his feet, and then walked forward.

Going down the ramp, the entrance of the village is approaching.

Approaching the entrance of the village, Lian Ge left the road at the entrance of the village and walked towards the building.

Not far from the building yard, Lian Ge stopped again,

Turning his gaze, he looked at the village again,

In that village, on the village road,

The old man walking in the front and singing, the old man playing music, the middle-aged man, the person holding the shelf covered with red cloth, the bustling villagers,

The somewhat stretched team also gradually walked out from the entrance of the village, approaching this side.

Chapter 960 The Temple of the Earth

"stop……"

The bustling team gradually approached the building next to the foot of the mountain,

The old man who walked in the front and sang along stopped in front of the gate of the building, turned around and shouted to the bustling team leader behind him.

Follow the team and walk to the entrance of the village, one by one, the villagers,

They slowed down one after another.

The adults are pulling their children, the old man is bent over, holding the plastic bag in his hand,

spread out more

Villagers, old or young, stopped and stood on the open ground in front of the building, each looking towards the gate of the building.

Standing with the person covered with the red cloth shelf, still carrying,

The people playing the music put down the gongs, drums and suonas in their hands one after another,

The child who was greeted by the adults was pulled by the adults, and turned his head, looking around curiously.

The villagers standing on the flat ground in front of the building stopped talking one after another,

In front of this building, it became a little quieter.

……

Standing not far from the gate of the building, Lian Ge listened to some voices in his ears, and looked at the villagers who walked in front of the building,

Villagers who walked past Lian Ge seemed to be unaware of Lian Ge, but they avoided Lian Ge, or walked by, or were still some distance away from Lian Ge, one after another. stopped,

Lian Ge stood in the crowd of villagers.

Turning his gaze again, Lian Ge glanced at the building in front of the crowd,

On the wall surrounding the yard in front of the house, the rough plaster has peeled off, with some moss growing in the gaps, and some green bricks with holes in the peeled off wall plaster can be seen, next to the hill Near the wall, there are still some scattered shrubs growing.

Facing this side is the courtyard gate connecting the courtyard walls on both sides.

The courtyard door is a wooden door, with some traces of rain and wind erosion, and there are already some potholes.

The paint color has peeled off, and only some traces can be barely seen,

On both sides of the courtyard gate, there are two couplets posted,

"The soil can produce all things, and the earth can produce a thousand blessings."

This is an earth temple.

Looking beyond the courtyard wall, behind the courtyard wall, in the courtyard,

The old tree with its branches and leaves stretched out, covering most of the earth temple, and outside the earth temple, it covered the endless green shade,

The surrounding courtyard wall can't reach the trunk of the old tree, the shortest branch,

The branches hang down, the branches and leaves are dense, covering the top of the head, and only some of the sunlight from the clouds and the sun emerges from time to time.

It only blows by from time to time, some hot wind, slightly shaking those years, the slightly thinner branches on the top of the tree, dense branches and leaves.

Reflected outside the Earth Temple, the green shades of the villagers were also slightly disturbed.

"……quiet!"

The old man standing in front of the crowd with the door facing the gate of the Earth Temple shouted again,

The villagers who had already stopped their voices paused for a while, and the younger children also stood in front of their parents, just watching curiously.

In front of the Earth Temple, on the flat ground, it was even quieter.

After a pause, the old man turned around again,

He straightened his stooped waist as much as possible, and walked step by step to the courtyard gate of the Earth Temple.

Standing in front of the courtyard door, the old man stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the courtyard door open.

Some old courtyard doors made some noises, were pushed open, and leaned against the courtyard walls on both sides.

"...a respectful incense!"

The old man withdrew his hand and let out another long cry.

A person later next to him handed two larger incense sticks to the old man.

……

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked into the earth temple through the open courtyard door.

In the yard and on the ground, the fallen leaves of some old trees could not be seen, as if they had been cleaned.

Just through the door, you can also see the trunk of the old tree on the side of the yard,

The trunk at the foot of the tree seems to cover half of the house behind the yard.

The undulating roots of the tree spread throughout the yard, and in the other half of the yard, the roots of the tree could also be seen rising from the ground.

Glancing at the courtyard, then turning his gaze, Lian Ge turned to the land temple.

The courtyard is in the past, and the open courtyard door is facing the past. It is the only room in this earth temple, which is the main hall of this earth temple.

The door of the temple was open, and there was no wooden door to cover it.

Through the door of the temple, directly opposite, next to the side wall of the room, there are clay statues of gods,

It was a benevolent old man, smiling and standing on the shrine.
