After joining Hades

Wen Bai hastily pushed open the bedroom door.

At that time, Fang Leming spoke a few words on the phone, Wen Bai only listened to the general idea, picked up his phone and went back to school.

Along the way, the class did not stop.

"What's going on?" Wen Bai's tone was a little anxious.

The "Awei" that Fang Leming called, his real name was Zhou Wei, Wen Bai's classmate and roommate.

When the meme "awsl" was the most popular, the class often teased him, asked him to change his name, and watched TV full of "Awei is dead", which is unlucky.

Zhou Wei has a good temper, and he passed by cheerfully, and occasionally he would say a few words with his mouth.

No one expected that one day, this joke would come true.

"I don't know either. The counselor suddenly couldn't find Zhou Wei, so he contacted me." It was Yang Wenqian who spoke.

There are four people in Wen Bai's dormitory, except for Fang Leming who was forced in by a system error, the other two are classmates.

One Zhou Wei, one Yang Wenqian.

More than half a month after Wen Bai moved out of the dormitory, Zhou Wei also moved out, and Fang Leming was away from school most of the time, so when there was any urgent matter at school, Yang Wen usually helped to deal with it first.

Wen Bai: "Can't find it?"

"Well, I can't get in touch with him life and death, no one answers his calls, no reply to WeChat, no one answers his parents' calls." Yang Wenqian's stubble is green, and he looks like he hasn't slept all night.

"When was the last time we got in touch?" Wen Bai said while flipping through the dormitory chat records.

Number 15, which is…

Wen Bai: "When did you get your graduation certificate?"

Yang Wenqian nodded: "Yes."

Originally, Nantah University planned to hold a graduation ceremony on the 15th, that is, a week ago.

Unexpectedly, the rain in Nancheng lasted for more than ten days at once, and it kept getting bigger and bigger, so it had to be postponed.

However, due to the large number of participants in the ceremony and heavy tasks, usually, the graduation certificates will be issued to the students in advance or after the ceremony, and only the certificate seals will be awarded on the day of the ceremony.

Afraid of delaying the students, the school issued graduation certificates in advance according to the original plan.

But that day, Zhou Wei didn't come.

Fang Leming: "I remember that day, Wen Qian, you helped get Ah Wei's graduation certificate?"

Yang Wenqian nodded first, then shook his head: "The instructor didn't give it to me, saying that I had to come and get the graduation certificate in person, and then called Awei, who said he would come to get it on the day of the graduation ceremony."

Fang Leming suddenly remembered: "Didn't we go out to eat hot pot together on the day I got my graduation certificate? At that time, the video for Ah Wei was not connected, and he hung up. He just sent a voice message saying that we will get together on the day of the graduation ceremony."

"Could it be that things weren't so good then?"

Wen Bai didn't pay attention at first, but after hearing what Fang Leming said, he remembered that there was indeed something wrong with Zhou Wei's tone at that time.

At that time, he only thought that he was not in a high mood and didn't ask any more questions.

"Who told you about Ah Wei...?"

Wen Bai paused deliberately, although he didn't say those three words, both Yang Wenqian and Fang Leming understood what was going on.

"Xiao Bai, Zhou Xu from the Basic College next door, do you remember?" Yang Wenqian replied, "He's from the same village as Ah Wei."

Wen Bai had an impression, but in his memory, the relationship between that person and Zhou Wei was not very warm, the kind who would nod most of the time when they met, and rarely even called out his name.

"Today the instructor wanted to inform Ah Wei and asked him when he would come to the school, but he couldn't be contacted, so he came to me. He tried everything, but there was nothing to do, so I went to the foundation, and it was time to meet Zhou Xu. For contact information, call him."

Yang Wenqian paused: "He didn't speak for a long time, but finally he opened his mouth and said that Ah Wei might be dying."

"I thought he was joking and said he was on the phone a week ago."

"And then he said, that was also a week ago."

"I hung up the phone after I finished speaking, and I didn't answer the call again, so I gave me an address." After speaking, Yang Wenqian handed the text message to Wen Bai to read, "Look."

Fang Leming also leaned over: "Zhuangxing Village? This is the address of Ah Wei's hometown."

"Well, it should be," Yang Wenqian nodded, "Didn't Awei always say before that his grandfather hoped that he would go back to inherit the family's shop after graduation? It seems to be in this village of Zhuangxing."

Wen Bai always felt that something was wrong.

Even if it's an emergency, it's not like going back to my hometown without going to the hospital, and no one can be contacted.

Besides, they had a phone call a week ago. Although Zhou Wei was speaking at that time, his energy was indeed not very good, but when talking about the arrangements after the graduation ceremony, he also mentioned that he would go on a trip and relax.

Zhou Xu's attitude is also very strange. He and Zhou Wei are not on good terms, but they have not turned against each other. They would nod when they met on the school road, but now they are unwilling to say a few more words.

It's not so much that he doesn't want to talk about it, it's more like he's avoiding something.

In the past, Wen Bai would definitely not think about other aspects, but now...

Wen Bai bowed his head, and typed the words "Zhuangxing Village" in the search bar of the map.

"Xiaobai, are you going?" Fang Leming asked.

"Yeah." Wen Bai still decided to take a look.

Fortunately, although it is a bit out of the way, it is not too far away.

Fang Leming immediately raised his hand: "I'll drive you there!"

Yang Wenqian also got up: "I'll go too."

Wen Bai actually didn't have a bottom line in his heart, and everything was just his guess.

But if there is really a relationship, it would be somewhat inconvenient to bring these two people along.

"It's not good if there are too many people. I'll go and have a look first. When I get there, if something really happens, I'll call you right away and come back when the time comes." Wen Bai said.

Fang Leming and Yang Wenqian thought about it too. They ran over in a panic without knowing anything about the situation, which might add to the chaos.

"That's fine, you must call if you need something."

"Ah."

After leaving the school, Wen Bai went straight to the No. [-] Villa.

He originally wanted to ask Xiaoliandeng, but it seemed to be in a deep sleep, and the jade gourd in his hand didn't move at all.

It's not appropriate for a person to go hastily, so we have to look far away.

Wen Bai's original plan was to ask and listen, and it would be best if he could "borrow" a colleague who "has nothing to do" to go together.

He didn't even think about asking for Dynamic Listening, and Lu Zheng was not in the selection category.

who knows……

Looking at Lu Zheng standing in front of him, the corners of Wen Bai's mouth almost froze.

He slowly turned his head, passed Lu Zheng, and looked at Di Ting behind him: "I don't think it is necessary."

Di Ting didn't care too much: "There is no one else, everyone is very busy."

"Only your boss is idle."

Wen Bai: "..."

Wen Bai lowered his head, thinking whether he should be more cruel, and woke up the little boss, but the big boss had already said impatiently: "Let's go?"

Wen Bai had no choice but to follow.

The two got into the car. As soon as the driver turned on the navigation, he glanced at them from the rearview mirror.

It's really strange to come out of a place like the First Mountain Villa and cross half a city to a village.

"Please fasten your seat belt," the driver reminded.

Wen Bai nodded in response.

"And that gentleman, please fasten your seat belt as well." Seeing Lu Zheng's well-dressed and unsmiling manner, the driver unconsciously felt a little apprehensive, and added, "Recently, the roads are strictly controlled."

Only then did Wen Bai turn his head to look at the unmoved Lu Zheng.

"Boss, fasten your seat belt."

Lu Zheng's eyes, following Wen Bai's words, fell on the belt tied in front of him, seeming a little puzzled.

really……

Wen Bai took a deep breath, fearing that the driver would see something, he unbuckled his seat belt and leaned towards Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng didn't know what Wen Bai was going to do, he just felt that this person was getting closer and closer to him.

So he grasped Wen Bai's uneasy hand: "What are you doing?"

Wen Bai didn't speak, and after using a little strength to break free, he pulled off the webbing with a sound of "swipe--" and tied Lu Zheng tightly.

Lu Zheng: "..."

Turning around, Wen Bai asked sincerely: "Boss, didn't Di Ting tell you these things?"

Lu Zheng, who felt as if he was disgusted again: "..."

After an hour and a half, the car finally stopped.

"No. 113..." Wen Bai looked at the house number given on the address and began to look for the way.

It was almost at the bottom before I found a house whose house number began with "100".

"Why is the layout of this road different from the previous ones?" Wen Bai said, looking at a wall that was almost as high as a house not far away.

As he got closer, he realized that the wall was next to No. 112, not on one side, but on two sides, as if it had been purposely built. There was a walkway several meters wide between the wall and No. 112.

I just didn't see Zhou Wei's old house.

Wen Bai was wondering, when Lu Zheng suddenly asked, "Does he live in No. 113?"

Wen Bai: "Yes."

Lu Zheng turned around and walked back: "Follow me."

Wen Bai obediently followed behind the boss.

After walking for nearly half a street, Lu Zheng motioned him to look up.

"arrive."

Only then did Wen Bai look up.

Then I saw a wooden signboard that was so mottled that it had lost its color, and a few words on it.

Wen Bai: "..."

"This is..." Wen Bai pursed his lips.

"As you can see," Lu Zheng leaned on the carved red pillar with peeling paint at the door, looking at Wen Bai for a while, "the coffin shop."

Wen Bai: "..."

Wen Bai took out his mobile phone, intending to check if the address was wrong, but before he could open it, there was a "squeak" sound in his ear.

He raised his head following the sound, and the door opened slowly.

Wen Bai was taken aback, and before he had time to think, he took a step back honestly, not noticing that there were steps behind him.

It wasn't until he was hugged by Lu Zheng that he came back to his senses.

"Thank you boss." Wen Bai let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Lu Zheng opening his mouth to speak, he opened his mouth first: "With such a little courage, how can I take over the work of the Yin Division!"

Say the boss's words, so that the boss has nothing to say.

"Boss, I understand, I won't do it next time." Wen Bai promised.

Lu Zheng looked at Wen Bai's flattering appearance, and after a long time, he smiled for the first time.

"Exit."

While speaking, the wooden door was completely opened.

The first thing Wen Bai felt was a smell of incense ash.

Almost as soon as the wooden door was opened, it flooded over, so rich that it seemed to be immersed in it.

Lu Zheng glanced at the copper basin on the ground where the fire was still burning.

Then she looked at Wen Bai: "I have a good intuition."

Wen Bai: "?"

"Is there really something?"

Lu Zheng nodded.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared behind the wooden door.

Rao had learned from the past, Wen Bai's heart still jumped.

After he saw clearly that the person who came was none other than Zhou Wei who had disappeared for more than a week, he hurried forward.

But Zhou Wei grabbed the wooden door, took a heavy step to the side, and stretched out his hand to stop him from going forward.

From a few steps away, Wen Bai could see his livid face.

Just as he was worried, Zhou Wei had already opened his mouth.

"It's over, it's starting to see hell in broad daylight."

"I actually saw Xiaobai."

Wen Bai: "?"

"Grandpa!" Zhou Wei turned his head stiffly, and shouted towards the back room, "Am I going to die!"

Wen Bai: "?"

It seems that... the spirit is quite full.

The back room was silent.

He didn't hear the answer, so Zhou Wei didn't care, he continued to hold on to the wooden door, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Grandpa, shouldn't it be time to play the suona?"

"I seem to hear the sound of suona."

"Tell me to send me away."

After finishing speaking, he smiled wryly.

Wen Bai: "..."
