Laws of Spirit Recycling

"Why only rented one, don't you want to play?" Cai Xiaonan didn't care about the wet trousers and shoes when his feet were submerged in the sea.

"Don't play, I'll just watch you from the side." Yu Yan carefully avoided the propelling waves, tried not to step on the dark fine sand, threw the swimming ring in his hand into the water, no one was around, Cai Xiaonan grabbed it with both hands Fell flat on the water.

"You are much more convenient than me. You can take off your shoes and socks and go into the water. Are you really not coming?"

Yu Yan had already walked back and sat down a few meters away, he looked at Cai Xiaonan and shook his head with no interest on his face.In fact, he was a little moved, but he couldn't swim, and the clothes were not suitable for diving at the moment, so he declined the other party's invitation.

But they are also leisurely on the shore. They deliberately chose a remote water area away from the crowd. No one walks in front of them, so it is much quieter.

Cai Xiaonan doesn't understand water, and he didn't swim too far. He held the swimming ring with both hands and paddled in the water. He stopped from time to time and his body was vertical. He lay on the ring and rose and fell with the waves.

Yu Yan looked at it for a while and began to feel bored, so he used his fingers to write and draw on the beach, randomly drew a smiling expression, and then carefully wrote his name below, "Yu Yan" - stared at it blankly One stroke at a time seems to be able to see the meaning contained in it.

I don't know if human beings will do the same. They have an inexplicable familiarity with the name that accompanies them since birth. Yu Yan likes these two simple words because his boss gave him the name.

Thinking of Mr. Fu, his heart is like the soft sand after being washed by the sea, inexplicably cool and soft.Subconsciously, next to the smiling face, he drew another immature face with slightly lowered brows and a "one" shape on the lips. Even with a few simple strokes, one can see the seriousness and rigidity of the owner.

The corners of Yu Yan's mouth curled up, and he laughed in the evening wind.

When Yu Yan regained his senses from his self-entertainment, he found that Cai Xiaonan was nowhere to be seen in the opposite sea. Looking aside, he saw that the other party was playing a prank on a young girl.

Maybe it was because she saw the life buoy floating on the water that no one was using. The girl was tired and wanted to use it for leverage. Cai Xiaonan also supported the ring, and when the girl was swimming back, he pressed it down suddenly. The life buoy sank into the sea. The girl He also stumbled and choked a few sips of water, only to see her float up and look around, and the invisible Cai Xiaonan was right opposite her, laughing tremblingly.

"Cai Xiaonan." Yu Yan stopped him, his voice could be lowered: "You can't do this."

Cai Xiaonan grinned and made a grimace, turned around and grabbed the girl who had already put on the life buoy, he pulled the suspended swimming ring from behind, making the person who wanted to leave jump around in place, letting the water splash from the swinging arms, just to Less than half a minute ago.

"Ah—" the girl screamed in horror, scrambling her hands and feet in a panic.

Seeing the girl friend swimming over, Cai Xiaonan let go of his hand.The girl yelled "Water Ghost Water Ghost!", took off the life buoy, hugged her friend's arm and walked away crying.

"Hahahahaha....I'm dying of laughter!" Cai Xiaonan pushed the swimming ring onto the beach, his whole body was soaked, he was still very happy for the spoof just now.

"You can have fun, why do you want to play tricks on people?" Yu Yan has been unable to go into the water on the beach, and only now has the opportunity to ask.

Cai Xiaonan tossed her hair, said indifferently, "It's no big deal if someone asks her to take my swimming ring as a joke."

"It's not good for you to draw attention to yourself."

"I see, you have said this sentence several times today, isn't it boring?" Cai Xiaonan's eyes fell on the graffiti behind Yu Yan, "Yu Yan...is this your name?"

"Ah."

"It sounds nice to read, Yu Yan, hurry up and play with me." Cai Xiaonan suddenly took Yu Yan's hand and said in surprise: "It's great to be able to meet you!"

After speaking, he grabbed Yu Yan's hand and walked quickly towards the water. The sea water reached his calf, and Yu Yan broke free from his hand, "I can't swim."

"What are you afraid of, there are swimming rings, one is enough for two people." Yu Yan made a gesture to go back, Cai Xiaonan held him back, "You just accompany me, it's really boring to play in the water alone, swimming is fun , I’ll teach you! Anyway, the clothes are all wet, and it’s getting dark, so no one can see.”

Yu Yan glanced at the scattered people who came out of the water not far away and were about to leave, "But..."

"What's the good thing, just be happy!" Cai Xiaonan held the swimming ring in his hand and continued to drag Yu Yan to the depths.

The water line gradually spread from the knees to the chest, and the humidity that lost the temperature hit. Yu Yan was at a loss for the strange feeling. He could only support the swimming ring with both hands according to Cai Xiaonan's words. parallel.

"Yes, that's it, and then you just open and close your feet and paddle, like me." Cai Xiaonan pinched the other side of the swimming ring, swimming flexibly on the water.

Yu Yan followed his direction and swam slowly, with his chin resting on the water waves, Yu Yan began to feel his body became light, like the fish swimming in the water that he had watched many times. Everyone floats on the water like leaves.

As night fell, the number of people playing in the sea quickly decreased, leaving only men and women walking on the beach. A row of small shops by the beach had already been lit up, and the spherical warm yellow lights were connected to the shore, echoing the twinkling stars in the sky.

This scene seems to have a hint of dreaminess, maybe because I am soaking in the water and away from the crowd at this moment, I always feel that the hustle and bustle of the day has disappeared like the sea at low tide.Everything was silent, and they rested quietly on the water after playing.

"How about it, did I say it was fun?" Cai Xiaonan showed a smug smile, "And now there are two of us, so cool, it feels like the sea belongs to us."

He supported the swimming ring with one hand, and looked at the starry sky in a supine position, swaying under the push of the waves.

"The sea doesn't belong to anyone." Yu Yan said solemnly, lying on the swimming ring and looking at the dark deep sea in the distance, "But swimming is really fun, I have never experienced this feeling before."

"Haha, so you are just like me. I only came here after hearing that swimming is fun. I have never been to the beach before."

Yu Yan knew that high school was busy with schoolwork, "You guys have to go to school, so you probably have very little time to play."

"Even if there is, it's not my turn to play." Cai Xiaonan paddled lightly on the water with his arms, and the water splashed, "So now I must make up for all the fun things in the world. "

Speaking of this, he finally changed his posture, faced Yu Yan and said, "Look at how good it is to follow me, and you can also play while working. In the future, you will be there wherever you play, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Is that really all you want?"

"Otherwise, what else can there be? It will take a long time just for these things, but I'm not in a hurry, take my time, I learned how to swim at the first stop today, and I have learned a lot." Cai Xiaonan started to hold on to the swimming ring again Swimming back, he suddenly thought: "You should be able to do it too? Let go and try."

"No, I don't know how to do it yet." Yu Yan just followed the gourd and did not master water.

"What are you afraid of? Give it a try. We won't die anyway. I'll hold the swimming ring in front of you. If you can't do it, I'll pass it to you right away."

Yu Yan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.First, he and Cai Xiaonan supported the swimming ring to swim, and then tried to let go after getting used to the repeated movements.

"Your arms are outstretched, and you paddle forward like your legs."

After breaking away from the support of the object, Yu Yan stiffly threw himself into the water twice. Because he was completely unaccustomed, his swimming rhythm was disrupted by the waves. Before he could clearly see the distance from Cai Xiaonan, he sank down into the sea.

"Yu Yan!" Cai Xiaonan quickly swam to his place.

The sea water flooded the mouth, nose, and eyes... The darkness came like a rising wave, overturning the sinking Yu Yan's world.His whole body was cold, and he didn't feel oppressed that he was about to suffocate, but because of the lack of light and light, he felt a little dazed.

It was like being in nothingness, there was nothing, and even he was about to erase his existence, but Yu Yan didn't feel afraid at all, because at this moment, he felt a familiar breath approaching him.

In the water surrounded by coolness, touched the warm palm, the man took him into his arms and slowly floated up.Yu Yan closed his eyes and relaxed his body, and after a while, they emerged from the water together.

"Mr. Fu." Unable to conceal the joy in his tone, Yu Yan wiped the seawater from his eyes with his palm, and before he could say thanks, he saw the serious expression of the other party through the faint light, and immediately let go of the hand that grabbed the boss's chest shirt , whispered: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't go into the water."

Fu Jianchi held his loosened hand, pulled over the lifebuoy that Cai Xiaonan handed over, and put Yu Yan's hand on it, "Go back."

After speaking, he turned around and swam in front, Yu Yan pushed the swimming ring and followed behind silently, Cai Xiaonan thumped over and asked curiously: "Hey, who is this person? Is this your friend? I suddenly came out of the water with you. Come out and startle me! By the way, the wave hit me just now and pushed me away, so I didn’t give you the swimming ring in time, you won’t blame me, will you?”

"No." Yu Yan just wanted to go ashore quickly, and kept rushing forward with all his strength.

"That's good. I'm still thinking about how to get into the water to save you. It's pitch black and I can't see anything..." Cai Xiaonan was still chattering, but he stopped the topic after noticing Yu Yan's eyes fixed on the front. "This person is also with you, from the underworld, right?"

"Yes, he is my boss."

Cai Xiaonan let out a long "Oh": "No wonder, it looks much better than you."

After landing on the shore, Fu Jianchi has changed into a different suit, perhaps because of the occasion, no longer suits and leather shoes, trousers and shirt jacket are all black, with a calmness that is different from the usual idleness, wet hair hangs down on both sides of the face, finally The majestic and harsh image has faded away, exuding a little smoke and fire in the world.

Seeing such a boss, Yu Yan felt a little closer, took the initiative to walk over, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fu, thank you just now."

Fu Jianchi handed him the white bath towel in his hand, and looked down at the drenched man, his black pupils were like the deep invisible sea, "You should know that without my permission, you can't go into the water without permission."

Yu Yan covered his head with a towel and wiped his hair, and argued: "But...you are not here, so I can't tell you in time even if I want to apply."

"I'm not here, aren't you afraid of falling into the sea? Like just now."

Yu Yan opened his eyes wide, and blurted out: "Aren't you here?" It wasn't until the words came out that he realized something was wrong.

Fu Jianchi raised his eyebrows: "So you committed the crime knowingly?"

Keeping the posture of wiping hair with one hand, Yu Yan lowered his head slightly, avoiding the gaze of his boss, avoiding answering this question, and then said in his own words just now: "Mr. Any news, I know...you haven't left."

"Since I'm still here, then I'm sure I won't be in danger." Yu Yan raised his head, his bright eyes were like broken stars on the sea, "Today is indeed too much, I will definitely tell you in advance next time."

Fu Jianchi stopped questioning, glanced at the crowd walking around, picked up the bath towel on Yu Yan's head and wrapped it around him, and then let it go after a few seconds.Yu Yan also changed out of his wet clothes and wore dry and clean casual attire.

"Damn it, I really know magic spells!" Cai Xiaonan stared blankly at the side, walked forward excitedly, and looked at Fu Jianchi with pleading eyes: "Big brother, can you change a new suit for me too?"

"No, ghosts don't catch colds." Fu Jianchi refused coldly.

"Then do you catch a cold..." Cai Xiaonan complained dissatisfiedly, and stepped aside, "Forget it, anyway, I don't want to wear couple clothes like you."

"Couple outfit?" Yu Yan showed a puzzled expression when he heard these two words. They don't have girls here, so where are they couples?

Cai Xiaonan sat on the wet bath towel on the beach, "The color and style of the two of you, isn't it a couple's outfit, is it also a parent-child outfit?"

After what he said, Yu Yan looked down at his clothes. There was a black sleeveless shirt inside the white short-sleeved shirt. He turned his head and looked to the side. Mr. Fu's black long-sleeved shirt was open, and there was a pure white cotton shirt inside. The outer colors are all classic black and white, and the outer shirts are very similar in material and design except for the difference between short-sleeved and long-sleeved.

Yu Yan concluded seriously: "This should not be a parent-child outfit."

"I just—" Cai Xiaonan immediately received a sharp cold light, and changed his words with a smile: "I'll just say it casually, and you take it seriously."

Yu Yan blinked, sat next to him, and approached him: "Don't talk nonsense in the future, Mr. Fu is not a girl, why would you wear a couple outfit with me?"

"Hehe." Cai Xiaonan twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed a few times.

Sitting on the beach, the three of them watched the sea surging tirelessly at night, as well as the quiet and endless starry sky above their heads. The night wind blew the salty smell that belonged to the natural ocean alone. They were so close to the sea, as if they could reach out to the most shining that starlight.

Cai Xiaonan stretched his upper body, and lazily said: "The whole body is blown dry, and I really don't catch a cold. It's great to be a ghost, I can play around, and I won't get sick anyway."

"I didn't expect you to be so open-minded when you were only a teenager."

Cai Xiaonan laughed "chih", "Please don't talk to me in such an old man's tone, I'll feel awkward, obviously it looks similar to me."

"I have been in this world for more than 1000 years longer than you."

Cai Xiaonan didn't take it seriously: "What's so great, it's because I haven't played anything like me."

"That's because..." Yu Yan paused, thinking of Mr. Fu who was sitting next to him, "Because I didn't come to the human world to play, by the way, how did you die?"

"I, I was stabbed to death." Cai Xiaonan looked at the sea ahead as usual.

Yu Yan was surprised, but he was even more surprised by the young man's calm expression. He couldn't help asking: "Killed? Is it your family's enemy?"

"Of course not. It was done by a strange man. He rushed out and grabbed me for money on the small road I was walking home from school. His eyes were red and he smelled of alcohol. He threatened me with a fruit knife. Look at me. I looked very anxious, but I don’t have any money, I don’t have any money on me, so I told him, he didn’t believe me, so I had to look in my schoolbag and take out my pockets to show him, and saw that I really didn’t have anything of value At that time, he became even more angry, and then stabbed me with the knife in his hand." Cai Xiaonan pointed to himself with his thumb, "I became like this now."

"It turned out to be an accidental death." I didn't expect this to happen, it didn't look like the tragedy that would happen to Cai Xiaonan at all, because Yu Yan didn't see the resentment and resentment in the other's eyes, he tried to ask: "Do you want to?" Revenge? We can go find the person who killed you."

"If you want to find it, you have to go to the prison to look for it. The next day the police caught the drunk man who killed me and sentenced him to death. He said he was a desperado and he had a criminal record before. It can only be considered bad luck for me. .” Cai Xiaonan kept accumulating fine sand with one hand, piled it up into a small sand tower, and then overturned it.

"This is too bad luck." Yu Yan tried hard to observe the other party's expression, "Are you not angry at all?"

"There's nothing to be angry about, you're going to die anyway." Seeing Yu Yan's thoughtful expression, Cai Xiaonan added, "I have cancer, a disease that can't be cured."

Yu Yan was stunned: "I know, I've heard of it before." Naturally, I have also heard of the horror of cancer. It is a demon in the world, and in another form, it slowly and cruelly takes away something called "health". Human beings are frightened by the news, and some people even lost their lives at its hands.

Wanting to comfort, but not knowing how to organize the words, Yu Yan finally understood that the reason why Cai Xiaonan maintained a calm and fearless attitude towards the accidental death was because he had already seen the end of his life, and all that was left was to take such a small step. distance.

"You don't need to comfort me, I was doomed from birth, I'm a poor man."

He said these words with a smile, and his voice was swept into the sea breeze, becoming very light, so light that it was only as humble as his life, and disappeared into the dark night.
