To their surprise, Uncle Zhou was not at home.

The 5-minute knocking time failed to knock on the person who wanted to knock on the door. Instead, the neighbor opened the door. It was a middle-aged woman who poked her head out to tell them that Uncle Zhou was out of the door in the afternoon and told them not to knock and disturb people. clear dream.

The two apologized again and again, and watched the woman retract her head and close the door before looking at each other.

Jing Jie opened his mouth, but Ji Huai didn't give him a chance to speak, and rushed to answer, "I just want to give him a surprise."

Jing Jie then closed his mouth.

"Wait a minute, Uncle may have gone shopping." Ji Huai guessed, "Uncle usually stays at home when he's not at work."

Jing Jie nodded, and sat down on the stairs with a bottle of Coke in his arms.

"Hey, you're not too dirty..." Ji Huai glanced at the ground, there was a lot of dust visible to the naked eye lying on the ground, and he almost beckoned someone to lie on it.

"Tired." Jing Jie patted the super large bottle of Coke in his arms, "I said you don't need so much to make Coke chicken wings."

It is definitely not necessary to use it. Ji Huai chose this big bottle at the time purely out of anger with Jingjie. Now that I think about it, it is pretty stupid, but there is no way to buy it all.

"Then move to the side and give up your seat." Ji Huai decided to skip the topic of cola.

Jing Jie put the Coke aside, patted his leg, "Sit here."

Ji Huai hesitated for a while between being tricked and sitting on the dust, and then happily chose the former, and sat down on Jingjie's lap without any politeness. Before he could sit still, the door of the next room opened Opened, the woman who asked them to keep their voices down came out with a bag of garbage, and when she saw the two children sitting by the door, she was shocked, and said angrily, "Why are you two still here?"

The moment the woman opened the door, Ji Huai picked up the Coke and slipped to the ground, with a smirk on his face to cover up his embarrassment, "We're waiting, Auntie, are you awake?"

"How can I sleep if I'm woken up by the noise? Go down and look around." The woman ignored them and walked downstairs.

"Hey, auntie, go slowly." Watching the woman disappear again, Ji Huai patted his chest, "Fuck, you scared me to death."

Jing Jie looked at him inexplicably, "Why are you guilty of not being a thief?"

"I..." Seeing Jing Jie's upright face, Ji Huai suddenly doubted his previous judgment.

Jing Jie was taken aback when he thought of something, and then the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, "Young man, your thoughts are dirty, I just don't want you to get your clothes dirty."

"Shut up, you!" Ji Huai rolled his eyes at him and wanted to stand up, but when he thought that his pants were dirty, he might as well continue to sit on the ground, so he loosened his strength and leaned over to Jing Jie's body. Damn, "Bored, playing games?"

"can."

People are not the only ones with tempers in this world.Take this game as an example, since you want to play it, you have to coax it and go to see it often.If you don't play for a long time, you will lose your temper. If you want to update, it will take more than ten minutes.

The network on the side street is not very good, and the update time is infinitely extended. The two sat side by side, each with a mobile phone that was being updated on their laps, and they were speechless for a long time.

"Enough." Ji Huai stretched, "I kind of want to uninstall it."

"Unload it." Jing Jie said.

"Forget it, let's keep it, and occasionally pass the time." Ji Huai moved his body and found a more comfortable position on Jingjie's body, "Speaking of which, why do you know how to play games? Just like you The business is so busy, how do you have time to call?"

"There is always a period of burnout in everything you do. Besides, it's normal at my age to want to play games, isn't it?" Jing Jie caught a glimpse of a small white crumb on the top of Ji Huai's hair, and raised his hand to pick it off.

Ji Huai took a look at Xiao Baijian, then reached out and scratched at the hair, "Be sincere, I really didn't see how much you want to play games."

"It's okay, Liu Fei pulled me to play at first, but later... it was probably to meet more people." Jing Jie said, "You know, whether it's writing or drawing, you need inspiration. This game You can turn on the microphone, and you can always meet someone you can chat with when you are in the fourth row."

Ji Huai raised his eyebrows, "I didn't see how much you wanted to chat with me back then."

Jing Jie said: "Because I had already given up at that time. Things didn't go as expected. If you want to find inspiration, you still have to step out and see for yourself."

"Oh." Ji Huai nodded, "Normal."

In the end, the two failed to make a game, because Uncle Zhou came back with a bag of fruit before the game update was completed.

The two people sitting on the stairs startled him, and he was relieved after seeing who it was. They smiled and patted Ji Huai on the shoulder, and looked at Jingjie with a puzzled expression.

"Hi Uncle, my name is Jing Jie, and I'm Ji Huai's friend." Jing Jie introduced himself.

"Hello, hello!" Uncle Zhou hurriedly reached out his hand to shake hands with him, but Jing Jie stretched out his hand after a moment of confusion.

Uncle Zhou's hands are rough, full of calluses, and his face has the vicissitudes left by the years. He is an elder who has a story to tell.

All walks of life have occupational diseases. Jing Jie thinks that his occupational disease is probably because he wants to draw everything he sees.For example, now, he really wants to draw this elder. The background is a lonely room, and there may be two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table full of food, maybe three sets.

If the light is dim, it brings a lonely warmth.

Similar to imagination, the lights in Uncle Zhou's house are indeed warm, and there are indeed three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.However, unlike imagination, three sets of bowls and chopsticks do not symbolize loneliness, but excitement.

Jingjie's tomato scrambled eggs did not control the heat well, the eggs were a bit mushy, and the overall look was dry and not moist at all.However, Ji Huai's Coca-Cola Chicken Wings can completely make up for the lack of tomato scrambled eggs. Just by looking at the quality, you know that Ji Huai usually practiced a lot at home.

With just these two dishes and Uncle Zhou's leftover dishes at noon, the meal is quite lively.

While chatting after dinner, the two of them realized that Uncle Zhou didn't go shopping for vegetables, but went to the cemetery to visit the dead Zhou Fei.

"I go to see him at the beginning of every year." Uncle Zhou sat on the sofa, insisting on peeling apples for the two children, sticking the fruit knife on the peel, and turning around, "When I went to see him today, the apples placed in front of Xiao Fei's tomb A bouquet of flowers was put by a little girl. She also visits her family every year. We met her twice. Know what to do next."

"What a young girl?" Ji Huai asked.

"It's about the same age as you." Uncle Zhou sighed when he thought about it, "I don't know if she can come out."

"If Uncle can come out, so can she." Ji Huai didn't dare to say some things before, but today with Jing Jie by his side, he is much more courageous.

"Before Xiao Fei's mother left, she asked me to take good care of Xiao Fei, and I agreed, but... I really..." The fruit knife seemed to weigh a thousand catties, making it almost impossible to hold it.

Jing Jie noticed this detail, stretched out his hand to gently take the knife and apple from Uncle Zhou's hand, and temporarily put them in the fruit bowl aside.

"It's okay, Xiaofei won't blame you. Before he left, he wrote me a letter saying that he hoped you wouldn't blame him." Ji Huai stroked Uncle Zhou's back, "Besides, if you really feel that you are wrong , then I was also at fault, I was a friend and a classmate with him, at that time I spent much more time with him than you did with him every day, and I was more responsible."

"How can it be calculated like that, I am his father, I didn't teach him well..."

"He was born with it, he can't be taught well, and can only be controlled by drugs."

"Medicine, yes, it's medicine. My family is poor, and those medicines are so expensive. Xiao Fei is a good boy, he..." Zhou Shu raised his hand to cover his eyes, such a big man seemed so helpless at this moment .

Ji Huai knew that he had said something wrong, and was a little annoyed, so he hurriedly looked to Jing Jie for help.

Jing Jie was the worst at comforting and enlightening, and gave Ji Huai a confused look.

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.This statement also applies to the present.They seem unable to wake up a father who is willing to live in guilt and self-blame.

Unless there is a way to make him feel more guilty.

Guilt for your own guilt.

Jing Jie didn't know the whole story of what happened back then, nor did he know Zhou Fei, so he could only quietly take out his phone and send Ji Huai a message.

Ji Huai took out his mobile phone and looked at it, only to see four words from Painter Jing Xiao.

Fight poison with poison.

Ji Huai is so smart, he quickly realized the meaning of these words, but he was not sure if it would really work.

Forget it, treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Ji Huai took a deep breath and said, "Actually, uncle, you don't have to do this. Xiaofei told me before that he believed that death is not the end. He said... Well, he can go to another world to continue living. There Maybe dinosaurs or something, he thinks it's pretty cool."

Uncle Zhou didn't speak.

Ji Huai thought there was something interesting, so he poured out all the weird ideas that Zhou Fei told him back then to Uncle Zhou.

At first, Jing Jie thought that Ji Huai was making up nonsense, but later on, the more the person talked, the more he could not help but glance at Ji Huai.When people are thinking or remembering, their eyes will be different. Jing Jie once learned some things out of curiosity, and he can tell at a glance that Ji Huai is not making things up, but is really remembering the past well.

It's really a pity that Zhou Fei died.

However, if he really firmly believes that there is such a beautiful world behind death, then those who are still alive may be able to get some comfort.

"Uncle, Xiao Fei is watching you. If you are worried about him, he will also be worried about you. You don't want him to have a restless life over there, right?" Ji Huai ended with these words.

To be honest, he said this against his will, after all, he didn't believe in any new world after death.

"Is there really such a world?" Uncle Zhou asked in a low voice after a long silence.

When Ji Huai heard this, his intuition was not good, and Jing Jie also felt that it was quite dangerous. He tried to rescue him and said, "Who knows, uncle, do you know Schrödinger's cat? Before the box is actually opened, we have no way of knowing who the cat in the box is. Death is alive. Just like we are alive, we have no way of knowing whether there is a heaven after death. But we can pretend that it exists, so that the living can be comforted to some extent."

And will not fear death.Jing Jie didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, he was afraid of irritating Uncle Zhou again.Undoubtedly, this is a failed rescue.

But Ji Huai found inspiration in Jingjie's words, "Uncle, we all want to believe that Xiao Fei is still there, he can see everything that happens here, he loves you very much, and he wants to see you live well. Are you His last concern in this world, your eyes are his eyes, he hasn't been able to see the world much, uncle, you have to help him see it, you know?"

Look at the mountains and rivers, and taste the flavors of the world.If Uncle Zhou is really willing to take this step, even if he is sad at the beginning, Ji Huai believes that this great world will eventually dilute this sadness.
