Like a dream but not a dream, light and ethereal.

The oil-paper umbrella exudes a touch of sandalwood, as if reminding Shen Ci that what happened just now was not a dream.However, the feeling of being surrounded by clouds and mist seems so unreal.

"What did you dream about?"

Zhou Yunze frowned, and looked at Shen Ci with a complicated face.

"I seem to have dreamed of a long-haired man just now. The man handed me this oil-paper umbrella and said that it's going to rain heavily, so he told me to go back early."

Shen Ci walked slowly to Zhou Yunze's side, and then walked side by side towards the north gate of the park.Zhou Yunze curled his lips, looked up at the oil-paper umbrella in Shen Ci's hand and said:

"I think you are sleepy. I remember that there seems to be a Hanfu club in our school. I guess the man you saw just now may be a senior who came to the park to take pictures. The man probably saw that it was going to rain heavily. I will lend you the props for filming Hanfu."

"maybe."

Shen Ci scratched his hair, always felt that the sandalwood emanating from the oiled paper umbrella seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled this fragrance before.

For things that he couldn't understand, Shen Ci would never think too much, and quickly put the matter behind him.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the two quickened their pace, and walked out of Tianhu Park in a short while.As soon as Shen Ci stepped out of the park, Zhou Yunze patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the basketball court surrounded by high walls at the entrance and said:

"The basketball court is at the north gate, and I arrived at 5:2 p.m. I was planning to play a few rounds and wait for you to come over, but I didn't expect you to get lost in the park for more than [-] hours."

Shen Ci was also dumbfounded when he saw the basketball court. He entered the park from the south gate. After following the mobile phone navigation for several times, he couldn't find the basketball court. It was located at the north gate of Tianhu Park.

Zhou Yunze planned to say a few more sarcasm about Shen Ci, so that he could remember it long.Just as he was about to speak, the phone in his pocket rang suddenly.Zhou Yunze sighed, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, seeing that it was Zheng Tao's call, he quickly pressed the answer button and said:

"Zheng Tao, what do you want me to do at this late hour?"

"Zhou Yunze, did you forget about the club meeting tonight?"

As soon as Zheng Tao finished speaking, Zhou Yunze remembered that there was a dinner party at the Outdoor Adventure Club tonight.

"I didn't forget, by the way, Zheng Tao, can I bring Shen Ci with me?"

"Yes, there are so many people. You are the only one missing, come here quickly."

Zhou Yunze hung up the phone, turned to look at Shen Ci and said:

"You haven't eaten dinner yet, let's go, buddy will show you the world."

Shen Ci was taken aback, then smiled lightly and said:

"Thank you, Yunze."

In the eyes of others, Shen Ci's behavior is weird, he is a lunatic who likes to talk into the air.No one wants to be friends with him, and no one will take the initiative to talk to him, so Shen Ci's childhood was actually not happy.

Shen Ci has a very good personality. When it comes to other people's cynicism, he always goes in one ear and out the other, and forgets all those bad things in a blink of an eye.

No one was playing with him, so he was having fun by himself.When Shen Ci was young, he liked to run up the mountains the most.Because no one in the mountains would throw stones at him, let alone treat him like a monster.

After coming to the city, Shen Ci lived with his parents in a basement of only 15 square meters.Shen's father was moving bricks at the construction site, while Shen's mother was doing housekeeping outside.Although the family lives in poverty, they live happily.

Father Shen is a middle-aged man who can endure hardships. After being spotted by the foreman at the construction site, he worked on three difficult projects one after another.Later, Shen's father's projects became bigger and bigger, and more and more workers followed him. It didn't take long for him to set up a subcontracting team exclusively for himself.

The days got better day by day, and their family moved from the small basement to a high-rise building, and later moved into a large villa in the suburbs.

Happy days are always too short. When Shen Ci was in the third year of junior high school, his mother passed away.

At that time, Shen Ci was still preparing for the senior high school entrance examination. When he heard the bad news from his father, he rushed out of the classroom regardless.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are resigned to fate.For the first time, Shen Ci realized how sad death is.

His mother suffered from lung cancer due to overwork.When the hospital found out, it was already in the advanced stage of lung cancer.In order not to affect Shen Ci's high school entrance examination, Shen's mother decided to last a day and concealed her illness.

Shen Ci failed to see his mother for the last time in the hospital.Instead, next to the mother's body, I saw many lonely souls who were nostalgic for the world.

After inquiring about those lonely souls, he learned that his mother's soul was taken away by a strange man.He wanted to know who had taken his mother's soul, but the lonely souls in the hospital avoided him like the plague.

After Shen's mother died, his life seemed to be activated by a special mechanism, which caused him to be attacked more and more by ghosts and evil spirits.

Whenever he was in danger of his life, he would save the danger by various chances and coincidences.Sometimes he even wondered if there was a god silently guarding him in the dark whenever he escaped a catastrophe.

Zhou Yunze was the first person he was willing to talk to when he was admitted to university, and he was also one of the few friends who treated him sincerely.He didn't have any friends, so Zhou Yunze introduced his friends to him.

Gradually, there were many good people in his social circle.

The meeting place was a private restaurant called Jinling.Jinling's is located in Qingbei City, which is a well-known gathering place for rich people.The terrain is remote, and it is absolutely impossible to enter without special channels.

Zhou Yunze drove a black Maserati and drove Shen Ci to the gate of Jinling.After showing the Jinling staff and seeing the stripe code of the reserved private room, the staff let them enter the Jinling park.

The outdoor adventure club of Qingbei University is a club formed by a group of young men who have nothing to do in school.Experiencing life and pursuing excitement are the entertainment purposes of their club.

Both Shen Ci and Zhou Yunze were not wearing formal attire. When they entered the hall, they attracted the attention of many passers-by.Shen Ci didn't take this contemptuous look seriously, but Zhou Yuze raised his eyebrows and said:

"It's better to go to a food stall near the school to eat barbecue when you come to this kind of place to eat."

Shen Ci held an oiled paper umbrella and stood in the hall without speaking.He looked up at the ceiling, and saw a hanged ghost in a red dress hanging from the crystal chandelier.

The hanged ghost stuck out his tongue and looked straight at Shen Ci. Shen Ci and her missed their eyes, and then looked sideways at Zhou Yunze and said:

"Let's go."

"Shen Ci, are you hungry? I should have known that when I was buying an umbrella at the convenience store just now, I would have bought you some bread mats to cushion your stomach."

Zhou Yunze thought his friend was hungry, so he hurriedly brought him to the private room of the party.

Pushing open the door of the private room, I saw four casually dressed youths sitting inside.

"Hey, Young Master Zhou, you are finally willing to show up." Zheng Tao teased Zhou Yunze with his chin propped up while holding his cup.

"Sorry, I'm late because of the traffic jam," Zhou Yunze said.

"Xiao Ci is here, find a seat quickly."

Zheng Tao was quite polite to Shen Ci, and quickly greeted him to take a seat.

Shen Ci took the oil-paper umbrella and sat near the door, while Zhou Yunze sat next to Shen Ci.

Zheng Tao is the president of the Outdoor Adventure Club. He put down his wine glass, looked at everyone and said:

"I called you here today because I plan to organize an outdoor adventure. Have you ever heard of Birch Mountain?"

"I've never heard of it, Taozi, don't write the ink, let's get to the point." The fat man sitting opposite Zheng Tao said.

After Shen Ci heard the words Baihuashan, he looked at Zheng Tao in surprise.When he was a child, he often went to play in the mountains, and the name of the mountain was Baihua Mountain.

"I also inadvertently inquired that the hauntings in that mountain have been particularly fierce in recent years, and ghost soldiers can often be seen in the valley to make way."

Zheng Tao looked at the crowd mysteriously and said.

"Isn't it a lie, are there still ghost soldiers making excuses these days? If so, those experts would have gone to film and approach science long ago." Xu Kai said.

"You'll know if you go and have a look, Zhou Yunze, we don't have enough people, why don't we go to Baihua Mountain together including Shen Ci?" Zheng Tao said.

The school has not started yet, and the members of the outdoor adventure club have not arrived yet.When Zheng Tao organized the party, he thought that at least fifteen people would be there, but unexpectedly, including Shen Ci, only five people came.

"Shen Ci, do you want to go together? The school is almost the same as a construction site. Anyway, school hasn't started yet, why not go to the mountains to breathe fresh air." Zhou Yunze said.

"That's right, it's good to go to the mountains to breathe fresh air. We have plenty of equipment for mountaineering. Xiaoci can go with us." The fat man said with a simple smile as he gnawed on a chicken leg.

Shen Ci blinked, not knowing what to do for a while.He hasn't been back to Baihua Village for nearly ten years. Although he has no affection for the village, he has deep thoughts about Baihua Mountain.

Recently, he has often dreamed that he has returned to Baihua Mountain.He played in the mountains, climbed trees to pick fruits, picked fungi under big trees, and then came to a dilapidated temple with a bamboo basket on his back to enjoy the shade.

No one made offerings to that temple, so he put the fruits he picked in front of the tribute platform, and then regarded the god statue as his friend, and told the god statue his daily experience.

"Shen Ci, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yunze patted Shen Ci on the shoulder and said.

Shen Ci came back to his senses, then looked at everyone's expectant eyes and said:

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"Okay, then let me count the number of people. Shen Ci, Zhou Yunze, Xu Kai, Wang Yuanqi, and I are five people in total. The equipment is stored in the school's warehouse. We will count the equipment tomorrow and we will set off the day after tomorrow." Zheng Tao said.

"Leave the day after tomorrow?" Shen Ci asked in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Tao said.

"The day after tomorrow is Shen Ci's 20th birthday, and his father invited me to his house for dinner." Zhou Yunze explained.

"It's your 20th birthday, it's a big birthday. Don't worry about the small words, my buddy will give you a different birthday in the mountains, which will definitely be unforgettable for you forever." Zheng Tao said with a smile.

"Yeah, birthdays need lots of people." Fatty Wang echoed.

Shen Ci hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked down at the jade pendant around his neck and said:

"it is good."

In the dark, the sky is destined, and the vast sea of ​​people meets you again.

Fate has come, even if you hide for ten years, you can't escape the arrangement of fate after all.
