Mountain and sea essence

The ghost messenger waving the calling bell floated in front, Zhou Yi's dead soul wobbled closely behind the ghost messenger, and Qiao Jun and Fu Li trailed far behind.

The ghost messenger led Zhou Yi's dead soul out of the cemetery, along the road where Zhou Yi was buried at that time, and headed towards Zhou Yi's house.Qiao Jun and the others followed them all the way, and it took them two hours to arrive at Zhou Yi's house in the early ten o'clock.

Zhou Yi's home is in a townhouse complex, the surrounding environment is very good, but the security is also very strict.It took Qiao Jun and Fu Li some effort to bypass the security personnel of the community and sneak into the community.

Zhou Yi's father set up a table at the door of the house, with some simple tributes on it. He burned incense for Zhou Yi, then lit a cigarette and stood aside.

"Xiao Yi, today is your first seven days, but this city doesn't like these things, so Dad can only offer them to you in such a simple way. I used to see your mother buy these things for you, I think it should be your favorite food Yes. Yes, I remember that you love strawberries very much. When you saw them when you were a child, you would hold onto a plate and never let go. Now is not the season, and my dad has spent a lot of effort to buy strawberries for you." Zhou Yi's father faced the table The case murmured, "Don't be angry about your aunt before. Dad apologized to you and shouldn't beat you at that time. Besides, you died in a car accident. It was a natural disaster and man-made disaster. Dad, it wasn't Dad who killed you, right? Don't be overwhelmed, go reincarnate, and entrust your dreams to Dad if you need anything, and Dad will try his best to satisfy you."

Zhou Yi's dead soul stopped at the gate of the courtyard, quietly looking at the man standing behind the table smoking a cigarette, with no intention of continuing to walk in.

"Then what, my altar is placed outside, so don't be surprised. Your aunt just found out that she's pregnant, so it's inconvenient to let you in. And I want some incense, and your aunt will feel uncomfortable after smelling it." Zhou Yi's father said Here, it seems that there is nothing else to say.November was at the bottom, and the wind outside was very cold at night. He couldn't help but stomped his feet, finally extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and said in a low voice, "It's said that the first seven can't see their family, so Dad will go in first." , take what you want to eat yourself. It’s all from your own home, so you’re welcome.”

After Zhou Yi's father finished speaking, he blew out the candles on the table and extinguished the half-burned incense, then turned his head and entered the room.

Zhou Yi's soul standing outside the courtyard swayed in the night wind, then followed the ghost messenger and turned to leave.

As soon as Zhou Yi left, Qiao Jun, who was hiding behind the courtyard wall, rushed over angrily, climbed over the iron gate of Zhou Yi's house, rushed to the desk placed at the gate, and overturned the desk with a raised hand , and trampled the strawberries that had fallen to the ground.Hearing movement in the room, Qiao Jun immediately turned around and came out, calling for Fu Li to follow Zhou Yi's dead soul together.

Fu Li raised his hand to take away the talisman paper pasted on the surveillance camera, and then walked to catch up with Qiao Jun.

When they walked a little further away, Zhou Yi's father's terrified cry came from behind him.Qiao Jun curled his lips, the anger in his eyes didn't decrease in the slightest.

"His father is not a good father." Qiao Jun said to Fu Li beside him in a muffled voice, as if explaining his behavior just now.

"Do this kind of thing in the future to avoid surveillance, otherwise the police station will find you tomorrow." Fu Li said lightly.

"Oh."

Zhou Yi went to his mother's side again.

Zhou Yi's mother lived in a shabby-looking rental house, and there were offerings in the house.Zhou Yi's mother was much more haggard than she was in the hospital, but she still cheered up, sitting by the table, talking to Zhou Yi while helping Zhou Yi pick up vegetables.Just talking and talking, I lay down on the table and broke down in tears.

Zhou Yi's dead soul stayed in the house for a while, and then floated out with the ghost messenger, leaving his mother's rental house.

It was past midnight and the road was quiet. Qiao Jun and Fu Li followed Zhou Yi and they walked for a while, when the ghost messenger who led the way stopped suddenly.

Fu Li took out a stack of paper money from his pocket and lit it with a lighter.

The paper ashes scattered in the wind, and the green smoke flew towards the ghost messenger.After the paper money was burned out, the ghost messenger raised his hand and waved in front of Zhou Yi's dead soul. Zhou Yi saw Qiao Jun and Fu Li immediately, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Qiao Jun?! Why are you here?" Zhou Yi asked almost subconsciously.

"I followed you from the cemetery..." Qiao Jun whispered.

"Is that so..."

The two looked at each other from a distance, and they had a thousand words to say, but they didn't know what to say for a while.

"I overturned the altar your father set for you." After a long time, Qiao Jun spoke again.

Zhou Yi said with a relaxed face, "You weren't seen by him, were you?"

Qiao Jun: "No, the monitor Fu Li also blocked it for me."

Zhou Yi: "Then he must be scared enough."

"Did you hear what my dad said?" Zhou Yi continued after a slight pause, "When I was born, my dad was always making money outside, and he didn't stay at home all year. He never hugged me when I was young , so I’m actually not very close to me. And he thinks that raising a son means giving enough material goods, which is completely opposite to my mother’s view that meeting spiritual needs is love. Before my father slapped me, I I always felt that my dad just couldn’t express it, not that he didn’t put too much emotion on me. He also deceived himself and told himself that he had never hit me before, at least he loved me before.”

"Zhou Yi..." Qiao Jun called out in a low voice.

"However, those things are over now, so there's no need to worry about it. I'm already dead anyway." Zhou Yi shrugged, "What's your expression? How old are you, don't cry for me! You cry When I come out, I will take a picture with my mobile phone and post it on the Internet to laugh at you!"

"Zhou Yi, I'm sorry." Qiao Jun lowered his head and said hoarsely, "I failed to save you, I clearly said I would protect you, I, I broke my promise..."

"No, my death has nothing to do with you!" Zhou Yi said anxiously, "I'm sorry and it's not up to you to say it! If I want to say sorry, I should tell you."

"Why did you say sorry to me?" Qiao Jun looked up at Zhou Yi.

"Of course I should say it." Zhou Yi looked at Qiao Jun seriously, and said loudly, "Qiao Jun, I'm sorry! You tried so hard to save me, but I failed to make it through! I'm sorry!"

Qiao Jun's eyes turned red immediately.

"And—" Zhou Yi grinned at Qiao Jun again, "Thank you, thank you for working so hard to save me."

Qiao Jun opened his mouth, and finally, under Zhou Yi's gaze, he smiled back.

Zhou Yi: "How's your injury?"

Qiao Jun: "It's ready."

Zhou Yi: "No scars?"

Qiao Jun: "Probably not."

Zhou Yi: "You have lost the evidence of bragging with your partner in the future. Originally, once you take off your clothes, you can tell your partner domineeringly—look, this is the medal that your man just passed the monster face to face!"

Qiao Jun laughed out loud.

Seeing that Qiao Jun finally smiled, Zhou Yi was immediately relieved.This was the Qiao Jun he knew, the sky was clear and there was not even a trace of gloom.

The calling bell rang, and Zhou Yi looked back at the ghost messenger, and then said to Qiao Jun, "Qiao Jun, I'm leaving."

Qiao Jun smiled.

Zhou Yi turned around and waved his back to Qiao Jun, "See you in the next life."

Watching Zhou Yi follow the ghost away, Qiao Jun chased after him a few steps, and shouted at Zhou Yi's back: "I will still be your friend in your next life!"

The calling bell rang one after another, and soon the figures of Guicha and Zhou Yi disappeared in the streets at midnight.

Qiao Jun stood there in a daze for a while, then slowly turned around and walked in front of Fu Li.

"Fu Li, thank you." Qiao Jun looked up at Fu Li slightly, and thanked him seriously.

"What can I thank you for? I just walked with you for a while." Fu Li said, put his hands in his pockets, turned and walked back.

"Even if I was walking, it took me several hours!" Qiao Jun hurried to catch up, "Are you tired? I can carry you back."

Fu Li ignored him, saw a taxi coming up ahead, and immediately raised his hand to hail a taxi.

"By the way, do you know how to find the reincarnated Zhou Yi?" Qiao Jun asked.

"I don't know. I catch monsters, not ghosts."

The taxi stopped in front of Fu Li, and Fu Li opened the rear door to get on.

"I made a promise with him, and we will be friends with him in the next life..." Qiao Jun followed him into the back seat, glanced at the driver in front of him, swallowed the rest of the words, and worried silently by himself.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Yi's ghost that night, Qiao Jun gradually recovered from his depression.Occasionally when I think of Zhou Yi, I still show a little sadness, but I don't have that depression.

At the beginning of December, Zhuang Shenglan called Qiao Jun and told Qiao Jun that his friend got Xu Chang's contact information for him.So, after two months, Qiao Jun finally got in touch with Xu Chang again.

Qiao Jun added WeChat to Xu Chang, and told Xu Chang one by one what happened to him in the past two months, including Zhou Yi's matter.Xu Chang has a good temper and is a good listener, probably because of having such a confidant, Qiao Jun has gradually recovered his former cheerfulness.

This afternoon, Qiao Jun was in a coffee shop, doing Chinese test papers, and chatting with Xu Chang on WeChat at the same time. Recently, Fu Li has been more tolerant to him, and when he was doing the test papers, he would only look at him a few times when he was playing with his mobile phone.

Xu Chang: By the way, do you know a man named Qiao Xiangfeng?

Qiao Jun: Qiao Xiangfeng is the name of Qiao Boss, he is the eldest son of the old man Qiao who raised me.I just escaped from his car hahaha...

Xu Chang: I said so!

Qiao Jun:? ? ?

Xu Chang: After you left Huize City, I happened to find that this person had posted a chicken hunting notice in an outdated newspaper!

Qiao Jun: Huh?

Xu Chang: Later, I searched the Internet and found several similar chicken hunting notices.

Xu Chang sent several screenshots and newspaper photos to Qiao Jun.

Xu Chang: This is you, right?

Qiao Jun: It's me.Boss Qiao even published a paper looking for me...

Xu Chang: It seems that the family that raised you treated you very well.

Qiao Jun: Yes!Joe old man's family is doing well!I plan to go back and see Joe's boss and Joe's second when I have time.

Xu Chang: Remember to inform me when you return to Huize City, I will treat you to a barbecue.

Qiao Jun: When you say that, I suddenly miss your barbecue.How's your barbecue business doing lately?

Xu Chang: Not very good. Recently, human beings are tossing about environmental protection. It is said that waste emissions should be restricted. We may not allow us to burn charcoal when we do barbecue.

Qiao Jun: Ah!What should I do?

Xu Chang: It’s really impossible and I have to change careers.

Qiao Jun: [hug]
