Qi Mou blew out the candles one by one, scaring the companions in front of the candles to tremble.
The candles were extinguished, and they resumed their journey.
The sky is getting brighter.
They came to the day again, and this was the last day.
Qi Mou thought, those people cannot be saved, but they can be freed from being restrained.
"The way to kill ghosts is to let them sink into the bottom of the river." Qi Mou said.
This is the news that he heard before, but of course Qi Mou would not tie everyone up and do that again.
The drama rested its chin, and the words were sharp: "Think of a way to euthanize."
Qi Mou squeezed his hands: "Heiye, at first I only had an impression of the person who called my name, and the light of the candle."
These two points may be in the heart of the "ghost", which is the obsession with the past life.
Immediately, he pointed at the copy: "Please, can I go out and pay you?"
"My salary for two books..." Si Si, who was still in arrears of salary, opened his mouth and patted his forehead helplessly, "Okay...forget it."
"Ah?" At this moment, the duplicator was ignorant and didn't know his fate of being drained.
Simply have enough light during the day, so you don't need to use your eyes to do things.
Qi Mou squatted by the table, took apart the newspapers and time diary that he brought from the shopkeeper one by one, painstakingly folded them into the shape of a lantern, and then took a red candle through them.
Only four petals were stacked, but it can be seen that he has tried his best.
"Miss Qi Qi has a good handiwork." Juju was bending over her knees to look at it, reaching out to touch Qi Mou's hair, "It's ingenious, and guests like it the most."
Qi Mou turned his head to avoid Juju's hand, turned around and handed the copy: "Copy it for me."
This tone is like saying "lay me an egg" to a chicken.
Duplicate touched a lantern, and immediately an identical lantern grew out of his subordinates, and he handed it over: "Is it ready, how much more?"
"Nine hundred and ninety-eight." Qi Mou said calmly, looking sideways at the copy, "This kind of thing is not unique, nor does it have any special abilities. Can it be copied in batches?"
The copying face was full of resentment: "I also copied in batches when copying homework... With this amount, what do you think of my factory?"
"Thank you, thank you." Qi Mou patted the copy on the shoulder, raised his face and smiled lightly, with the air of a big brother, "Little guy, who is your teacher? I will talk to him later and ask him to leave you less time." Do some homework."
"I..." Duplicate's eyes lit up, and he stopped talking stubbornly, "Cough, let's talk about it later, I will do it first."
Si Si, who was packing up the lanterns, smiled again: "Look, another volunteer."
His tone sounded like someone who was already in the pit, gloating and watching others jump down too.
Duplicate sat on the ground, and slowly grew lanterns under his hands, like a diligent or something.
Qi Mou asked other people to follow him with lanterns, or to be responsible for running errands.
Qi Mou held the unlit lantern and planned to find everyone's name on the road.
Boom—boom—crack——
Aunt Qiao was still chopping firewood at home, and the pieces of wood were scattered everywhere, which was full of deterrence and made people dare not approach.
Qi Mou didn't know the names of these people, only the titles, so he had to ask.
He knelt down, hugged the lantern, tilted his head and asked, "Sister, what's your name?"
The woman ignored him and continued chopping firewood.
"Don't tell?" Qi Mou picked up the pile of firewood chopped by the woman, and took two steps back, "I stole something from you, come and hack me to death."
The gambling skills are activated!
This move really angered Aunt Qiao, she picked up the ax and hit Qi Mou on the head!She really listened to Qi Mou's words and wanted to hack him to death.
100% gamble execution rate,
100% trust in the other party.
Skill launched successfully!
Qi Mou leaned back, dodged the general, and quickly said: "Say your name."
"Qiao Fu!" The woman said two words subconsciously, and was taken aback for a while, but she was determined to come over and hack Qi Mou to death!
The others didn't know what to do, and watched the farce blankly.
Drama took the lantern thrown by Qi Mou and wrote the word Qiao Fu.
Qi Mou ran out as fast as he could, found a corner, and ducked in.Seeing that Aunt Qiao didn't know how to turn, went around several times without catching anyone, and was walking towards the house cursing, he walked out leisurely with his pockets in his pocket.
A group of people watching by the side had witnessed how this little villain bullied these half-ghosts before.
"Hey, old Qi, when will this go on like this?" Drama asked gracefully, empty-handed.
Qi Mou grabbed a new lantern from Si Si's arms and threw it away: "Just to try."
It seems that if you ask the name directly, the villagers may not be able to say it or remember it, so they can only use skills to obtain it.
Si Si quickly thought about it, and said: "Some of them subconsciously remember each other's names, and they can use skills on one, and then ask them all out."
Juju laughed, and looked at Qi Mou jokingly: "Okay, we might as well capture the king first, and ask the one with the clearest mind."
It's really bad to say drama, 25 years ago, the one who could speak fluently was Qi Mou's mother!The second one is the salesman, but he looks a little stupid.
Yan Bushi laughed intermittently: "Look at what kind of advantages fraud can get in front of gamblers."
Qi Mou felt that the burden on his body was a bit heavy, he was going to deceive a person who had taught him how to deceive others.
Yan Bushi stopped suddenly, left the team, and headed towards the river.
Qi Mou didn't know what he was going to do, but he didn't ask.
In the west of the village, a certain residence.
That beautiful woman was lazily lying on the bed, and beside the bed was a meal delivered by someone.
No children, because Qi Mou is still here.
Qi Mou sat on the side with that "wife would definitely want to slap her" face, silent.
When the woman saw him, her eyes widened suddenly, and she gradually regained her clarity, with a cold voice: "Huh? Did you know?"
Strict, the tone is really too strict, I am afraid that Qi Mou is recognized as someone else again.
Qi Mou tilted his face slightly, raised the corners of his mouth confidently, and blinked his eyes badly, as if he was about to commit an unprecedented perfect deception.
Whether it is using Jiuzhong deceit or gambling, everyone is looking forward to his performance.
However, when everyone's hearts were filled with passion——
Qi Mou asked very well-behaved and honestly: "Can you tell me everyone's name?"
Juju almost laughed out loud, and quickly patted his face to stop it.
"Ahem..." Si Si covered his mouth and laughed in a low voice, "He's scared, he's scared."
Qi Mou squinted at Si Si.
Si Si's voice suddenly became quieter, and he raised his hands to his ears in a gesture of surrender, but he still firmly said the last sentence to Juju: "I must be cowardly."
"You want to know what those people do, don't you remember?" The woman stared at Qi Mou for a long time, then suddenly turned Qi Mou's face away, looked at it carefully for a while, and then revealed a look of sudden realization, "Wait...you are not Qi Mou drag……"
Si Si continued to whisper to Drama without fear of death: "He must look a lot like his father."
Juju suppressed his laughter: "I seem to suddenly understand why his mother is so fierce. I don't doubt that the peach blossoms surnamed Qi are very prosperous, um."
The two talked less and less, gossiping very happily.
That's right, how can someone who is not fierce be able to control this kind of flirtatiousness!
"It doesn't matter who I am." Qi Mou shrank back, but still tried his best to smile obediently, with gentle eyes, "Tell me their names, okay?"
Big gamble launched!
The woman, that is, the gambler, thought for a long time before saying, "The peddler who often goes shopping is called Yi Jinjin, and the first shop that turns left when he goes out is called Zhang..." She said several names one after another.
Qi Mou heard Xiao Qi's report in his heart.
Execution rate of gamble... 29%,
Gamble trust level... 1%.
The probability of successful launch of the gamble... 15%.
Qi Mou gambled a 15% probability in his heart: Let her name all the names she knows.
Only when the woman is about to say five, she immediately nods seriously: "That's all, if you don't believe it, forget it."
Obviously, the launch was not successful, and this was the first time Qi Mou's gamble was frustrated.
Juju snorted and laughed, moved a chair and sat down, looked at the gambler, and pointed at Qi Mou: "Ah, girl, do you know who he is?"
The woman raised her eyebrows: "Maybe I know, but I really can't remember most of the names."
Qi Mou never made it clear what he came for.
He will not let the woman at this time know about the future.
Nine layers of fraud seem to be useless to women, so what should I do?Do you really want to go to the shopkeeper again?
Just when the situation in the house was anxious, the door opened again.
Yan Bushi came in with a grilled fish and put it beside the woman, without saying a word.The movement was very natural, and there was no embarrassment in the expression.
Jiangyu is also delicious, and it looks very tasty.
The theater applauded loudly, whistled, and the voice teased: "Yo, yo, that's fine—"
"Oh?" The woman looked thoughtful, and looked deeply at Yan Bushi, "What do you want to do?"
Yan Bushi glanced at Qi Mou first, and asked what's going on with his eyes?
Qi Mou lowered his head and stroked his palm: "She said she couldn't remember other people's names."
"Oh." Yan Bushi's expression was very indifferent, he pushed the play on Qi Mou, looked at the woman, "This is your daughter-in-law."
[A lie starts. 】
In an instant, Juju sat up straight with arms folded, shook his head desperately, his face was so pale that he was about to cry: "I don't..." Before he could finish speaking, Yan Bushi covered his mouth.
The woman pursed her lips and smiled: "No, it doesn't look like this." This person's intuition and observation skills are very accurate, he is indeed a gambler.
[One side of the lie was launched successfully. 】
Qi Mou didn't interrupt, just stared at the grilled fish.
The world turns black and white after simple lies are broken.
Yan Buzhi's voice was light and light: "Don't tell us the corresponding names of these thousand villagers."
The reverse comes true and they get what they want.
Seeing that the woman was too late, she got up and snatched the pen and paper from Si Si's hand, drew a map, and wrote the characteristics and names of the villagers corresponding to each residential location on the map. The writing speed was very fast. Clean and fast.
After the woman finished writing, everyone laughed angrily, and looked up at Yan Bushi: "Can you?"
Yan Bushi pouted hard, picked out the big thorns of the fish, and handed the grilled fish to the woman's mouth.
This time, the skill doesn't seem to have any side effects.
The woman took it and took a look, and ate it slowly.
Drama is still whispering to Si Sikan: "I know what price he paid."
Si Si tilted his head: "What?"
The dramatic smile is very mysterious, but the more he laughs, the louder he is, and he goes first.
There are more important things to do, and the few of them can only leave first.
When Qi Mou left, he stood at the door, turned his head and waved to the woman: "See you tomorrow."
I said see you tomorrow to someone from 25 years ago.
When everything is over, everything here may disappear, but the people in the memory will never change.
-
After getting the names of the villagers, they just need to write it down on all the lanterns.
Nine people sat by the river and processed each lamp like an assembly line.
Fortunately, there is no need to run around, and I can chat for a while between making lights.
Boss Qi poked Drama on the shoulder and gave him half a day off: "You rest during the day."
Drama incarnated as an idle supervisor, sitting next to Yan Bushi and rubbing his shoulders: "Brother Yan, Qi Mou said that he regained his sanity after you died at the end of the week. I asked, but he didn't say anything specific. Tell me what's going on?"
Yan Bushi was unusually friendly towards the drama, raised his drooping eyelids slightly, half-smiled: "Hmph, skills."
"Didn't he become a ghost, how can he break your lie?" Drama asked.
"I know." Xiao Shi, Yan Bushi's companion system, suddenly jumped out and said in the ear of the drama, "Because the master is at a critical moment of life and death, so he activated the limited skill - silent lie, put a lie directly into the opponent's mind , without waiting for a verbal reply, forcibly detect! Forcibly break!"
Yan Bushi stuffed Xiao Shi back at once, and muttered, "Mind your own business."
"It's all said and done." Drama rubbed his hands, gossip written all over his face, "Tell me quickly, what lie did you tell for him to deny?"
Yan Bushi didn't answer, but suddenly there was a piercing cry from the other side.
Companion Xiaoqi rubbed her eyes and cried, "You don't like me! You don't like me! Woohoo! You don't like me! Xiaosi, why don't you like me!"
Ten meters apart, Companion Xiaoqi and Companion Xiaoshi looked at each other from a distance and smiled at each other.
The tool man, Xiaosi, was quite at a loss. He didn't know why Xiaoqi was still talking about which lanterns were well made in the last sentence, and this was the next sentence.
But the little companion blushed when he saw Xiao Qi shouting so loudly, waved his hands repeatedly, and couldn't speak smoothly: "No... I... I didn't... I like..."
His master couldn't take it anymore, Si Si covered Si Si's mouth with one hand, and stuffed him into the system space.Before going in, he poked this little stubborn head: "You, be a mute."
Qi Mou, who was concentrating on writing his name, raised his head and figured out what Xiao Qi was going crazy today, so he picked up the tip of a pen and pointed at Xiao Qi's eyes, and drove him back to the system space: "Go back and stay, it's better not Let me know what you're implying."
"Cluck! Cluck!" Xiao Qi laughed wickedly, completely disobedient, and turned to whisper to Xiao Ten.
The drama seems to have eaten a big melon, and suddenly realized what the lie was.
He patted Yan Bushi's shoulder: "Yes, brother." Then Yan Bushi gave him a cold look.
The copying was finally finished in mass production, and I was so tired that I lay motionless on the ground, as if I had been completely drained.
The Healer and Si Si over there are responsible for holding the lamps, the psychic is trying to put every red candle in a straight line, and the fool and the caretaker are... trying not to make trouble.
They didn't know what gossip was going on here, but they all listened hard with their ears.
Qi Mou laughed twice.
Okay, just pretend you don't know anything.
In the evening, they finally finished their work, and they all lay on the bank of the river, forming a circle, looking up at the sky.
When all the candles are lit, the world will become real time.
The psychic looked at the stars that were about to rise in the sky and asked, "Speaking of which, how do you light the fire at the same time?"
Lying next to him, Juju chuckled: "Why do you think Qi Mou let me rest during the day?"
"Oh?"
Among Boss Qi's subordinates, none of the holidays are given for free, and no one is not exploited.
When the time was almost up, Qi Mou stood up first, took off his shoes, and held up a lantern with his mother's name on it, which said Du Qianyao.
Qi Mou stepped on the middle of the river.
Drama took two steps at a time, jumped onto the boat on the river, and sat down with his knees hugged.
The two figures stood and sat one by one, while the others stood on the shore, quietly waiting for the performance.
With a snap of their fingers, their field of vision became the same, it was a distant view, but Qi Mou's back could be vaguely seen, stuck in the middle of the frame.
The play begins.
"There is a dark river, with thousands of candles." The beautiful baritone in the drama sang softly and tenderly.
It was completely dark, and nine hundred and ninety-nine lanterns lit up by the river, as if they were pushed into the water by the same number of people, floating in the river in a patchwork pattern.
Qi Mou's appearance has turned into a ghost, and the lantern in his hand is also lit with candlelight.
He went into the water with bare feet.
"The returning child, the ghost of the night."
Countless black shadows were rushing towards here, staring at the candlelight with their own names written on it. There were a few familiar shadows inside, but there was no such woman.In reality, she is dead.
Qi Mou twitched his Adam's apple, raised his head slightly, saw that the sparks were also decorated brightly tonight, he didn't look back, closed his eyes and walked forward.
He took one step, Qiangui followed.
Take two steps, follow two steps.
"Forgotten people, no peace."
Everyone saw that in the picture, most of Qi Mou's body was submerged in the river water, and the candle flame was beaten by the river water, but it did not go out.
Thousands of ghosts followed behind him, and they all found their own lamps.
The cold moon shines, and a thin moon is also born on the river, and these dark shadows go to the river together, looking for the distant moon.
"Thousands of candles call him home, and now he bury his hometown."
"Ghost...Ghost..."
Qiangui rustled in the moonlit night, reciting his name.
Qiao, Li, Yi, Bai... Names they have heard, or have not heard.
"He is the ghost who carries the lamp by day, and the one who blows out the fire by night."
"He led them to escape from Broken Dreams, and he also sank himself into the bottom of the river."
The seven people saw that Qi Mou had sunk into the water, but the lantern was still pushed into the distance.
He is the ghost king who leads thousands of ghosts to death, and he is also a child who lost his hometown.
Afterwards, the thousand ghosts did the same, expelling their names and sporadic fires, and sinking in this river called Twilight but actually Huangquan.
"..."
The river is breathless, obliterating all the things that should not exist in the world.
And the traces of their existence will float along the river to the place where someone is always waiting.
The moonlight shines down, and the candlelight shimmers on the water. It is beautiful and beautiful, and it makes people feel empty and warm.
"The destination of their souls is not Jiang. They will return to their hometown and laugh about the glory of the year."
"The spring is also bright and the summer is bright there, and the autumn rain is shocking, the wind and the snow are frosty."
"The Dongqu Township they are going to is just like the moonlight tonight."
"May they rest in peace."
-
Qi Mou felt that he was slowly sinking into the bottom of the river, and there seemed to be countless pairs of hands under the water.
They pulled, pulled, hugged, dragged, and took Qi Mou to the depths.
The vitality had already begun to drain from him.
There seemed to be a dramatic singing in my ear, but it was very hazy.
Qi Mou couldn't open his eyes, and the stone he had been hanging in his heart also sank to the bottom of the river.
But my heart was empty instead.
He has always thought that he has no relatives and no reason, but now he is probably really no relatives and no reason.
Fraud doesn't care about these, he still has a lot of things on his mind.
About mental images, about [rules], everything about myself...
Wait, he is considered a ghost, so he wouldn't just die in the river, right?
The light on the surface of the river has melted into the darkness as he sank.The surrounding silence engulfed Qi Mou's sanity.
Thinking gradually blurred, Qi Mou thought as his eyelids closed heavily.Death is nothing, but.
However, there are people I want to meet.
"—" What is the sound?
"Qi——" Outside the heavy eyelids, there seemed to be a ray of light struggling to approach him. Qi Mou felt that it should be very warm, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand.
But the eyes still couldn't open.
"Qi Mou!" A shout mixed with the fluctuation of the river crashed into his ears, and the ghostly instinct made Qi Mou open his eyes in an instant.
There was dead silence in the dark river, but the warm light was right in front of his eyes.
He saw a candle in the underworld, or a light from the world.
A pair of hands grabbed him firmly at this moment.
Those hands pulled him up vigorously, and swam up, wanting to take him from the underworld to swim back to the world.
Crash——Finally struggling to get out of the water.
Just as he was dizzy, the man put the light into his hand again.
In a daze, Qi Mou looked down and saw a lantern with the word Qi Mou written messily on it.
Qi Mou looked up, it was Si Si who was soaking in the water just like him.
The water quality is so good, it can be fished up even at such a deep depth.
"Ahem..." Qi Mou spat, and lay down on the boat, "Isn't the rescue a bit late this time?"
When he was lying on his back, he slightly raised his eyelids and looked back. This was the Dusk River in Dongfang City, the way they came.
But the ferry behind him has disappeared.That abandoned village completely disappeared from the world.
Someone's face suddenly blocked his view.
Yan Bushi tapped Qi Mou's heart lightly with his fingertips, and slowly leaned over, the two of them were very close.
Qi Mou teased: "What do you want to do?"
Yan Bushi raised his eyes, with rare persistence in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Welcome back."
The candles were extinguished, and they resumed their journey.
The sky is getting brighter.
They came to the day again, and this was the last day.
Qi Mou thought, those people cannot be saved, but they can be freed from being restrained.
"The way to kill ghosts is to let them sink into the bottom of the river." Qi Mou said.
This is the news that he heard before, but of course Qi Mou would not tie everyone up and do that again.
The drama rested its chin, and the words were sharp: "Think of a way to euthanize."

Immediately, he pointed at the copy: "Please, can I go out and pay you?"
"My salary for two books..." Si Si, who was still in arrears of salary, opened his mouth and patted his forehead helplessly, "Okay...forget it."
"Ah?" At this moment, the duplicator was ignorant and didn't know his fate of being drained.
Simply have enough light during the day, so you don't need to use your eyes to do things.
Qi Mou squatted by the table, took apart the newspapers and time diary that he brought from the shopkeeper one by one, painstakingly folded them into the shape of a lantern, and then took a red candle through them.
Only four petals were stacked, but it can be seen that he has tried his best.
"Miss Qi Qi has a good handiwork." Juju was bending over her knees to look at it, reaching out to touch Qi Mou's hair, "It's ingenious, and guests like it the most."
Qi Mou turned his head to avoid Juju's hand, turned around and handed the copy: "Copy it for me."
This tone is like saying "lay me an egg" to a chicken.

"I..." Duplicate's eyes lit up, and he stopped talking stubbornly, "Cough, let's talk about it later, I will do it first."

Juju laughed, and looked at Qi Mou jokingly: "Okay, we might as well capture the king first, and ask the one with the clearest mind."
It's really bad to say drama, 25 years ago, the one who could speak fluently was Qi Mou's mother!The second one is the salesman, but he looks a little stupid.
Yan Bushi laughed intermittently: "Look at what kind of advantages fraud can get in front of gamblers."
Qi Mou felt that the burden on his body was a bit heavy, he was going to deceive a person who had taught him how to deceive others.
Yan Bushi stopped suddenly, left the team, and headed towards the river.
Qi Mou didn't know what he was going to do, but he didn't ask.
In the west of the village, a certain residence.
That beautiful woman was lazily lying on the bed, and beside the bed was a meal delivered by someone.
No children, because Qi Mou is still here.

Si Si's voice suddenly became quieter, and he raised his hands to his ears in a gesture of surrender, but he still firmly said the last sentence to Juju: "I must be cowardly."
"You want to know what those people do, don't you remember?" The woman stared at Qi Mou for a long time, then suddenly turned Qi Mou's face away, looked at it carefully for a while, and then revealed a look of sudden realization, "Wait...you are not Qi Mou drag……"
Si Si continued to whisper to Drama without fear of death: "He must look a lot like his father."
Juju suppressed his laughter: "I seem to suddenly understand why his mother is so fierce. I don't doubt that the peach blossoms surnamed Qi are very prosperous, um."
The two talked less and less, gossiping very happily.
That's right, how can someone who is not fierce be able to control this kind of flirtatiousness!

The world turns black and white after simple lies are broken.
Yan Buzhi's voice was light and light: "Don't tell us the corresponding names of these thousand villagers."
The reverse comes true and they get what they want.
Seeing that the woman was too late, she got up and snatched the pen and paper from Si Si's hand, drew a map, and wrote the characteristics and names of the villagers corresponding to each residential location on the map. The writing speed was very fast. Clean and fast.
After the woman finished writing, everyone laughed angrily, and looked up at Yan Bushi: "Can you?"
Yan Bushi pouted hard, picked out the big thorns of the fish, and handed the grilled fish to the woman's mouth.
This time, the skill doesn't seem to have any side effects.
The woman took it and took a look, and ate it slowly.
Drama is still whispering to Si Sikan: "I know what price he paid."
Si Si tilted his head: "What?"
The dramatic smile is very mysterious, but the more he laughs, the louder he is, and he goes first.
There are more important things to do, and the few of them can only leave first.
When Qi Mou left, he stood at the door, turned his head and waved to the woman: "See you tomorrow."
I said see you tomorrow to someone from 25 years ago.
When everything is over, everything here may disappear, but the people in the memory will never change.
-
After getting the names of the villagers, they just need to write it down on all the lanterns.
Nine people sat by the river and processed each lamp like an assembly line.
Fortunately, there is no need to run around, and I can chat for a while between making lights.
Boss Qi poked Drama on the shoulder and gave him half a day off: "You rest during the day."
Drama incarnated as an idle supervisor, sitting next to Yan Bushi and rubbing his shoulders: "Brother Yan, Qi Mou said that he regained his sanity after you died at the end of the week. I asked, but he didn't say anything specific. Tell me what's going on?"
Yan Bushi was unusually friendly towards the drama, raised his drooping eyelids slightly, half-smiled: "Hmph, skills."
"Didn't he become a ghost, how can he break your lie?" Drama asked.
"I know." Xiao Shi, Yan Bushi's companion system, suddenly jumped out and said in the ear of the drama, "Because the master is at a critical moment of life and death, so he activated the limited skill - silent lie, put a lie directly into the opponent's mind , without waiting for a verbal reply, forcibly detect! Forcibly break!"
Yan Bushi stuffed Xiao Shi back at once, and muttered, "Mind your own business."
"It's all said and done." Drama rubbed his hands, gossip written all over his face, "Tell me quickly, what lie did you tell for him to deny?"
Yan Bushi didn't answer, but suddenly there was a piercing cry from the other side.
Companion Xiaoqi rubbed her eyes and cried, "You don't like me! You don't like me! Woohoo! You don't like me! Xiaosi, why don't you like me!"
Ten meters apart, Companion Xiaoqi and Companion Xiaoshi looked at each other from a distance and smiled at each other.
The tool man, Xiaosi, was quite at a loss. He didn't know why Xiaoqi was still talking about which lanterns were well made in the last sentence, and this was the next sentence.
But the little companion blushed when he saw Xiao Qi shouting so loudly, waved his hands repeatedly, and couldn't speak smoothly: "No... I... I didn't... I like..."
His master couldn't take it anymore, Si Si covered Si Si's mouth with one hand, and stuffed him into the system space.Before going in, he poked this little stubborn head: "You, be a mute."
Qi Mou, who was concentrating on writing his name, raised his head and figured out what Xiao Qi was going crazy today, so he picked up the tip of a pen and pointed at Xiao Qi's eyes, and drove him back to the system space: "Go back and stay, it's better not Let me know what you're implying."
"Cluck! Cluck!" Xiao Qi laughed wickedly, completely disobedient, and turned to whisper to Xiao Ten.
The drama seems to have eaten a big melon, and suddenly realized what the lie was.
He patted Yan Bushi's shoulder: "Yes, brother." Then Yan Bushi gave him a cold look.
The copying was finally finished in mass production, and I was so tired that I lay motionless on the ground, as if I had been completely drained.
The Healer and Si Si over there are responsible for holding the lamps, the psychic is trying to put every red candle in a straight line, and the fool and the caretaker are... trying not to make trouble.
They didn't know what gossip was going on here, but they all listened hard with their ears.
Qi Mou laughed twice.
Okay, just pretend you don't know anything.
In the evening, they finally finished their work, and they all lay on the bank of the river, forming a circle, looking up at the sky.
When all the candles are lit, the world will become real time.
The psychic looked at the stars that were about to rise in the sky and asked, "Speaking of which, how do you light the fire at the same time?"
Lying next to him, Juju chuckled: "Why do you think Qi Mou let me rest during the day?"
"Oh?"
Among Boss Qi's subordinates, none of the holidays are given for free, and no one is not exploited.
When the time was almost up, Qi Mou stood up first, took off his shoes, and held up a lantern with his mother's name on it, which said Du Qianyao.
Qi Mou stepped on the middle of the river.
Drama took two steps at a time, jumped onto the boat on the river, and sat down with his knees hugged.
The two figures stood and sat one by one, while the others stood on the shore, quietly waiting for the performance.
With a snap of their fingers, their field of vision became the same, it was a distant view, but Qi Mou's back could be vaguely seen, stuck in the middle of the frame.
The play begins.
"There is a dark river, with thousands of candles." The beautiful baritone in the drama sang softly and tenderly.
It was completely dark, and nine hundred and ninety-nine lanterns lit up by the river, as if they were pushed into the water by the same number of people, floating in the river in a patchwork pattern.
Qi Mou's appearance has turned into a ghost, and the lantern in his hand is also lit with candlelight.
He went into the water with bare feet.
"The returning child, the ghost of the night."
Countless black shadows were rushing towards here, staring at the candlelight with their own names written on it. There were a few familiar shadows inside, but there was no such woman.In reality, she is dead.
Qi Mou twitched his Adam's apple, raised his head slightly, saw that the sparks were also decorated brightly tonight, he didn't look back, closed his eyes and walked forward.
He took one step, Qiangui followed.
Take two steps, follow two steps.
"Forgotten people, no peace."
Everyone saw that in the picture, most of Qi Mou's body was submerged in the river water, and the candle flame was beaten by the river water, but it did not go out.
Thousands of ghosts followed behind him, and they all found their own lamps.
The cold moon shines, and a thin moon is also born on the river, and these dark shadows go to the river together, looking for the distant moon.
"Thousands of candles call him home, and now he bury his hometown."
"Ghost...Ghost..."
Qiangui rustled in the moonlit night, reciting his name.
Qiao, Li, Yi, Bai... Names they have heard, or have not heard.
"He is the ghost who carries the lamp by day, and the one who blows out the fire by night."
"He led them to escape from Broken Dreams, and he also sank himself into the bottom of the river."
The seven people saw that Qi Mou had sunk into the water, but the lantern was still pushed into the distance.
He is the ghost king who leads thousands of ghosts to death, and he is also a child who lost his hometown.
Afterwards, the thousand ghosts did the same, expelling their names and sporadic fires, and sinking in this river called Twilight but actually Huangquan.
"..."
The river is breathless, obliterating all the things that should not exist in the world.
And the traces of their existence will float along the river to the place where someone is always waiting.
The moonlight shines down, and the candlelight shimmers on the water. It is beautiful and beautiful, and it makes people feel empty and warm.
"The destination of their souls is not Jiang. They will return to their hometown and laugh about the glory of the year."
"The spring is also bright and the summer is bright there, and the autumn rain is shocking, the wind and the snow are frosty."
"The Dongqu Township they are going to is just like the moonlight tonight."
"May they rest in peace."
-
Qi Mou felt that he was slowly sinking into the bottom of the river, and there seemed to be countless pairs of hands under the water.
They pulled, pulled, hugged, dragged, and took Qi Mou to the depths.
The vitality had already begun to drain from him.
There seemed to be a dramatic singing in my ear, but it was very hazy.
Qi Mou couldn't open his eyes, and the stone he had been hanging in his heart also sank to the bottom of the river.
But my heart was empty instead.
He has always thought that he has no relatives and no reason, but now he is probably really no relatives and no reason.
Fraud doesn't care about these, he still has a lot of things on his mind.
About mental images, about [rules], everything about myself...
Wait, he is considered a ghost, so he wouldn't just die in the river, right?
The light on the surface of the river has melted into the darkness as he sank.The surrounding silence engulfed Qi Mou's sanity.
Thinking gradually blurred, Qi Mou thought as his eyelids closed heavily.Death is nothing, but.
However, there are people I want to meet.
"—" What is the sound?
"Qi——" Outside the heavy eyelids, there seemed to be a ray of light struggling to approach him. Qi Mou felt that it should be very warm, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand.
But the eyes still couldn't open.
"Qi Mou!" A shout mixed with the fluctuation of the river crashed into his ears, and the ghostly instinct made Qi Mou open his eyes in an instant.
There was dead silence in the dark river, but the warm light was right in front of his eyes.
He saw a candle in the underworld, or a light from the world.
A pair of hands grabbed him firmly at this moment.
Those hands pulled him up vigorously, and swam up, wanting to take him from the underworld to swim back to the world.
Crash——Finally struggling to get out of the water.
Just as he was dizzy, the man put the light into his hand again.
In a daze, Qi Mou looked down and saw a lantern with the word Qi Mou written messily on it.
Qi Mou looked up, it was Si Si who was soaking in the water just like him.
The water quality is so good, it can be fished up even at such a deep depth.
"Ahem..." Qi Mou spat, and lay down on the boat, "Isn't the rescue a bit late this time?"
When he was lying on his back, he slightly raised his eyelids and looked back. This was the Dusk River in Dongfang City, the way they came.
But the ferry behind him has disappeared.That abandoned village completely disappeared from the world.
Someone's face suddenly blocked his view.
Yan Bushi tapped Qi Mou's heart lightly with his fingertips, and slowly leaned over, the two of them were very close.
Qi Mou teased: "What do you want to do?"
Yan Bushi raised his eyes, with rare persistence in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Welcome back."
