After returning from Rongding Building, the junior high school students returned to the days when they were filled with test papers every day.Tang Cheng's parents are busy with work, and they have to fly to other provinces for seven or eight months of the year. Ever since they knew that Qi Tong and He Zhen also lived in Shenyun Community, they would occasionally visit on weekends.

But it’s been a long time since I saw him. After all, he just passed a monthly exam, and the end of the term is approaching. He started going home to school at two o’clock and one line. Even his profile picture changed from “Must pass every exam” to “I only have "Learn", and now I met him in this remote town thousands of miles away from Yanshan City. If he hadn't just happened to catch him peeing, Tang Cheng felt that he should have been pleasantly surprised.

After finishing his convenience, Tang Cheng wiped his hands with the hand sanitizer he carried in his bag, and walked slowly to the back of the two people whose backs were facing him. Seeing that the two handsome men seemed to be holding back their laughter, he coughed in embarrassment With a voice, "Why are you here?"

Qi Tong hooked He Zhen's shoulder and turned to look at him, then raised his finger very relaxedly and pointed to the lush back hill.Tang Cheng looked in the direction he pointed, and there was a large lump of white on the mountainside. After carefully identifying it for a while, he realized that it was actually a joint burial tomb.

I just heard Qi Tong say: "The moonlight is beautiful tonight, so the two of us came out of the house for a stroll."

"..." They are old comrades-in-arms, and they still use "joint burial person" to fool around, Tang Cheng said blankly: "Go, you two go in and show me."

"Oh, the child is growing up." Qi Tong sighed exaggeratedly, and looked at He Zhen with a smile, "It's not easy to lie."

"Don't you have to go to school? Why did you come here in the middle of the night?" He Zhen asked.

"My grandfather fell down in his hometown yesterday. It happened that my parents were away on a business trip and they couldn't get away. They asked me to ask for leave and go back to see the elderly. They rushed over after putting aside the things at hand." Tang Cheng explained: "My grandfather's house is in Qianzhu City next door, and we just passed by this place. Who knew there was an accident ahead, and we couldn't get on the expressway at this point, so the driver asked us to make do with the night in the car. , a carload of people saw that there was a village here, and they all came down to find toilets."

Qi Tong looked at the crowd at the entrance of the village and asked, "What's going on in front?"

"I heard that someone fell off the cliff. The road around the mountain is temporarily closed. It will take a few hours to pass."

"So you got off the car to sleep in the hotel?" Qi Tong smiled and looked around, "What? The indoor toilet is not enough for you?"

Tang Cheng's face became hot, and he said angrily: "I dare not sleep alone in this remote village's hotel. There is only one public toilet here, and the line is all the way to the entrance of the village. I feel panicked and embarrassed in front of so many people. I came here by walking a bird in front of me."

He Zhen smiled and shook his head, "Then you come here alone, aren't you afraid?"

"I was in a hurry to find the toilet, so I didn't have time to be afraid." Tang Cheng glanced at Qi Tong, and said to He Zhen as if complaining: "If it wasn't for Brother Tong, I would have peed and returned to the car."

The little brats have learned to complain in front of him, Qi Tong raised his eyebrows, one or two of them are really gone.

"So why are you here?" Tang Cheng suddenly thought of something, his face turned pale, "This place is haunted?"

"Don't say that in front of the villagers, or you will be kicked out with a broom." Qi Tong said and patted him on the shoulder. Stay overnight in a hotel room."

"Where are you going?" Seeing that they were about to walk up the mountain, Tang Cheng quickly grabbed the hem of their clothes, and looked at the weedy mountain road ahead, "It's dark and windy at night, how scary it is to walk up the mountain panic."

He Zhen glanced at Qi Tong, and Qi Tong nodded towards him. Tang Cheng didn't know what secret signal they were talking about, and before he could ask, He Zhen turned around and looked at him and asked, "Do you want to come with us?" Let's go to visit the grave together?"

Tang Cheng:?

One god and one ghost gave an overview of what happened to Jiang Wenxin in a few words, and Tang Cheng followed up the mountain without thinking much after listening.

"Student Jiang, we came to see you. I hope you are all right down there." After the three of them found the tomb, Tang Cheng bowed to the tombstone a few times, and suddenly said, "Brother, can we just come here empty-handed?" not too good?"

"Who said it came empty-handed?" Qi Tong took out a roll of Yinsi paper out of nowhere, and distributed it evenly to the other two.

He Zhen looked at the things he handed over, lowered his head and pursed his lips. He originally thought that he had secretly contacted Bai Mang, and then ran here to "operate illegally". Stopped him, and quietly helped him make a backup plan.

"Why are you in a daze?" Seeing that the person in front of him lowered his head and didn't know what to think, Qi Tong raised his index finger and tapped his forehead with a knuckle. He Zhen was startled, trembled in shock and looked up blankly with him.Qi Tong was amused by his expression, smiled and took his hand and led him to squat down.

Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the other side, took out a lighter from his bag, and was about to light a corner of the Yinsi paper, when he suddenly raised his head and asked shamelessly, "By the way, how did these burned paper money get into their hands?"

Qi Tong took out his mobile phone, and saw him tap the screen a few times, and leaned in front of the other two, "Every ghost who enters the underworld will automatically open an account with the bank of the underworld, and their relatives and friends burn the ghost paper or other papers. House ingots and the like will be converted into corresponding ghost money and deposited into their accounts. This is not limited to worship, when Bai Wuchang has no money, he will often let other people do it," Qi Tong pointed with his thumb Pointing to himself, "Burn two pieces of paper and lend him a cup of milk tea first."

Tang Cheng: "Then you don't need to enter the password to transfer the money, how can you confirm that it's the other party's account?"

"Mind recognition." Qi Tong propped his right elbow on his knee, and said patiently: "No matter where you are, as long as you think about the other party when you burn Yinsizhi, you will not make mistakes. So the more sincere your heart, burn it to the other party." The more you don’t miss out.”

"I understand." Tang Cheng nodded, "I'll burn some for him when I'm free."

The flames slowly ate upwards along the corner of the Yinsi paper, and the evening wind brought a burning smell, and the gray paper ash was lifted up, still carrying a little fiery red and residual warmth, but quickly dimmed in the night.The light of the fire enveloped the paleness in front of the three of them, as if at this moment, the cold tombstone was covered with warmth.

******

After going down the mountain, Qi Tong found that He Zhen started to feel sleepy again, and it was hard to find a car to go back to Yanshan in the middle of the night, and was about to drag people to start looking for a hotel, when Tang Cheng stopped them suddenly.

"Brother, do you want to go to my grandpa's house for two days?"

Qi Tong raised his eyebrows, "Young man, are you afraid at night and plan to find two bodyguards?"

"It's definitely scary to be afraid. After all, the bus that stops on the street late at night is also a place where ghost stories often occur." Tang Cheng said honestly, "But it's true that I want to play with you."

"You said your grandfather's home is in Qianzhu City?" He Zhen asked.

Tang Cheng nodded, "In a small valley in Qianzhu City, the bus is more flexible and can go directly to the door of the house. The old man is used to beautiful mountains and rivers, and he also wants to watch over my deceased grandma there. He is unwilling to go to Yanshan with our parents no matter what. Live." He said like a tourist agency handing out leaflets, took out his mobile phone, swiped a few photos and handed them to He Zhen, "Look, isn't the scenery so beautiful!"

"Wait!" Just as Tang Cheng was about to swipe across a certain photo, He Zhen pinched his fingers suddenly, "This is your grandfather?"

Seeing the shocked look on his face, Qi Tong also leaned forward to take a look. In the photo was a pair of grandpa and grandson.In front of a quaint house, Tang Cheng was sitting on a small bench in a down jacket and teasing the dog, and beside him stood an old man, who was writing on a piece of red paper on the table with a brush, it should be writing couplet.This photo should have been taken by Tang Cheng's family when they went back to celebrate the New Year. The frozen picture at that moment, in the bleak winter day, reveals the warmth of the quiet years.

Before he could ask He Zhen why he was shocked by a photo, He Zhen turned around and looked at him, "We will go too."

Qi Tong was taken aback for a moment, and He Zhen lowered his voice again, "Are you okay?"

"..." Is this being coquettish?Qi Tong couldn't help but think of the question he was thinking about in the Rongding Building: who got used to it?

"Okay, okay. Tang Cheng, is there room in your car? Can you get on the bus and pay for the fare?" Qi Tong hugged the people around him and walked forward with Tang Cheng, dumbfounded.

Tang Cheng was in a great mood immediately, carrying a bag like a child going on a spring outing, "It's not yet summer vacation, there are very few people, and the bus in the small valley is loosely controlled, and several of my cars are paid for on the bus .”

******

The young couple followed Tang Cheng into a bus parked at the entrance of the village. Tang Cheng was right. Apart from them, there were less than ten people in the bus. Except for one or two people who were playing with their mobile phones, the rest were leaning on the back of the chair. Sleep soundly.

Qi Tong picked the two vacant seats in the penultimate row, across the aisle from Tang Cheng.The junior high school student was probably tired too, and as soon as he leaned back on the chair, he fell asleep with his backpack in his arms. Qi Tong glanced at He Zhen beside him, who was adjusting the back of the chair to a comfortable angle with a tired face. Tong adjusted the back of the chair to be even with him, quietly took out a notebook, opened it and wrote a few strokes.

"What are you writing?" He Zhen leaned over and asked, his voice soft because of sleepiness.

"Record your slow suicide behavior, and then see what punishment will be given to you according to the number of times you try your best." Qi Tong said, drawing a horizontal line on one page, and marking a line on the other page "Fulong Village, Changyu City To dream".

"You!" An inexplicable panic flashed in He Zhen's heart, and he quickly reached out to snatch the object from the other party's hand, "Why are you memorizing this? Stop writing it!"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Qi Tong stretched out his hand and moved it out of his reach, rubbed his hair and pushed him back to the back of the chair, "Why are you panicking? I don't want to be hung up on the notebook Just save your life." He closed his palms as he said, and the notebook just disappeared in front of the two of them, He Zhen turned his head to the window and stopped looking at him, with dissatisfaction and grievance written all over his body.

Qi Tong thought it was funny, why sometimes he was so fierce, and sometimes he acted like a child.He leaned over to fasten the seat belt on the person, and when he got close to the person, He Zhen closed his eyes, ignoring him, like an awkward cat, Qi Tong couldn't help laughing.

When they fell asleep in a daze, the car slowly started moving forward. It seemed that the road around the mountain in front had been unblocked.When the bus made a big turn, Qi Tong felt his shoulders sink, and opened his eyelids to look. It turned out that it was He Zhen, who was probably brought here by the turn just now.He helped the person adjust his position, and in a blur of consciousness, a sense of familiarity led his body to make movements, and he lowered his head.

Just when his lips were less than two centimeters away from the opponent's forehead, Qi Tong woke up suddenly.

What did he want to do just now?

Qi Tong felt a chill in his heart, it was still pitch black outside the car window, the shadow of the tree was stretched into ragged long silk and passed by the window, everyone in the car was asleep, their bodies unconsciously swayed slightly as the car moved forward .He stiffened his neck and carefully looked at the person leaning on his shoulder.He Zhen's breathing was steady and even, and when he closed his eyes, his eyelashes were like butterfly wings resting on a flower branch.

Fortunately, the person didn't wake up, and didn't notice his actions just now.Qi Tong breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart ached again the next second.Why would he kiss someone's forehead so naturally?With crushing doubts, Qi Tong moved the person back to the opponent's own position. Just as he closed his eyes and forced himself to forget the episode, the person beside him suddenly woke up rubbing his eyes.

"Where have you been?"

He Zhen's voice was very soft. I don't know if it was because of what happened just now. Qi Tong felt his heartstrings tremble when he heard this voice. He quickly cleared his throat and said seriously: "Not long after you left Fulong Village, you Go to sleep."

"Don't you ask me why I followed Tang Cheng?" He Zhen leaned back in his chair and turned to look at him again.

Qi Tong actually had a guess when he saw that photo, and he said, "Because of his grandpa?"

"Hmm." He Zhen looked out of the window and said, "Maybe it's fate, I didn't expect that Grandpa Wen and Tang Cheng are grandparents in this life."

"He has been reincarnated, and he doesn't remember anything. Why do you want to see it?"

The people around looked at the dark night outside the window, and after a long time, they slowly opened their mouths: "Some old friends cannot be let go."

Can't let go.

Qi Tong lowered his eyes, and for a moment he suddenly realized how absurd and ridiculous his soaring desire was.He thought of the tumbler that fell into the fire, and the avatar that He Zhen was still unwilling to change.

"Why did you throw away little He Zhen?"

"One pair, it doesn't make sense to keep one."

He Zhen's voice at that time reached his ears again, saying that the living would never be able to compete with the dead. He used to think that this was nonsense, but when he saw He Zhen, he suddenly believed it.

Life and death are uncertain, he doesn't know that the person He Zhen mentioned has gone through several reincarnations, and how many bowls of Mengpo soup he has drunk, He Zhen basically never mentioned it.The days after the marriage are stable and comfortable. Many times, Qi Tong thought that He Zhen had let go of the people in his past, but at some inadvertent moments, he could clearly feel that He Zhen was still waiting for him.
