When Ji Shang was a child, he loved to go to Huatai Village, which is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, during the summer vacation. When he grew up, he chose to open a homestay in a quiet suburban county.He grew up in a city like a dense forest, and he is used to being lively, so he can call friends and socialize with ease.

But like most people, after a carnival, there will be loneliness, and after a row, there will be a sense of nothingness.So even though he is familiar with living in the chaotic mundane world, he still tries to find a quiet place where he can advance or retreat.Today's Xianxiao is like the former Huatai Village.

In the countryside in summer, water vapor is lingering in the heat, and the rice under the moon is blown lightly by the wind, like waves pushed ashore by sea water, and the rustling sound is accompanied by the croaking of frogs and insects.Before meeting Ding Hengyuan, Ji Shang had never slept through such a beautiful night, either being woken up by the heat or bitten by mosquitoes.

On the day when Ji Shang and Ding Hengyuan first met, Ding Hengyuan got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and saw from afar in the courtyard of Hou Suzhen’s grandma’s house, Ji Shang, who was awakened by the heat, was enjoying the cool and beating mosquitoes. Appears clean.

Ding Hengyuan picked up the small stone in the flower pot and threw it over, and Ji Shang went to Ding Hengyuan's house.The brothers and sisters of the Ding family live on the second floor, which has an air conditioner.After that night, Ji Shang went to Ding Hengyuan's house to use the air conditioner every night.

On a cool, windy and rainy day, Ji Shang stayed at his grandmother's house to sleep, but he suffered from insomnia as usual. He wandered into the yard, and Ding Hengyuan, who was also insomnia, stood in front of the window and looked at him, seeming to have the same insomnia.

Thunder bursts outside the house, the wind rolled over the clouds, the moonlight flickered for a long time and finally completely darkened, the raindrops on the roof were noisy, and water droplets began to dance on the window sills.It was the easiest night to fall asleep, but Ji Shang lay beside Ding Hengyuan but couldn't fall asleep for a long time, the unbearable throbbing in him could not be blown away by the intruding wind outside the house.

He opened his eyes and looked at Ding Hengyuan's silhouette facing away from him. He didn't close his eyes until Ding Hengyuan turned around.Ding Heng was very close to him, the white light of the lightning showed no signs, Ji Shang didn't dare to open his eyes, and after a long time, he felt Ding Hengyuan's warm fingertips lightly touching his face.

Ji Shang tremblingly opened his eyes, opened his mouth and bit the finger that was drawn to his lips, but didn't exert any force.

Since puberty, Ji Shang has clearly known that he cannot have impulses towards the opposite sex. He understands what the throbbing at this moment means, but he doesn't understand why Ding Hengyuan is.Because Ding Sixin said that Ding Hengyuan had more than one girlfriend.

After a few days of peace and quiet, at night, Ding Hengyuan took Ji Shang to the rice fields to catch eels.For one thing, it will be Ding Sixin's birthday soon, and four or five catties of wild rice field eels can be sold for almost a gift; second, Ji Shang thinks it is novelty and fun, and Ding Hengyuan has been making trouble for a long time.

In order not to step on the crops, the two only stayed on the edge of the field ridge, and the harvest was not much.Ding Hengyuan took Ji Shang to a shallow lotus pond again, the mud covered his knees, the wooden clips used to catch the eel disturbed the lotus leaves rattling, Ji Shang went to catch the escaping eel, and a half-opened lotus was crushed petals.

In Huatai Village, the lights went out one by one, and Ding Hengyuan also turned off the flashlight.After covering the bamboo baskets containing the eels, the two of them took off their dirty clothes full of mud and took a bath in the nearby river.

After staying in the water for a while, Ding Hengyuan sat on the stone steps into the water and watched Ji Shang swim.There is no such a big pond in the city, so Ji Shang ran wild, swimming around, and suddenly dived into the bottom of the water and did not come out for a long time.The circle of ripples on the water surface has slowly faded away, and the beating fragments of moonlight have become a complete full moon.Ding Hengyuan was in a hurry, and jumped into the water from the stone steps, wanting to dive down to find Ji Shang.

Just as the water reached his waist, the bright full moon on the river surface was crushed by Ji Shang who broke out of the water.Ji Shang supported Ding Hengyuan's shoulders to stand firm, wiped off the water from his face, and looked at Ding Hengyuan with a smile: "I've dived long enough this time."

Ding Hengyuan let go of Ji Shang's hand: "It's been too long."

Although the river water is clear, the bottom of the water is too dark to see at night. Ji Shang showed off, "I just rely on my feeling. I thought it would be good to touch the shore, but I didn't expect to swim directly to your side."

"We can't do this in the future, it's too dangerous." Ding Hengyuan reached out and wiped the water off Ji Shang's cheeks.

Ji Shang was stunned, got down, kept pouring water on himself, and smiled to cover up: "I'm a member of the swimming team, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid." Ding Hengyuan said.

The water splashed, and Ji Shang didn't hear it clearly, so he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Xiaoyuan, what did you say?"

Ji Shang looked up at Ding Hengyuan, the water droplets on his face reflected the gentle moonlight, which fluctuated with his breathing, emitting tiny, beating rays of light.

Ding Hengyuan stared at him absent-mindedly for a moment, then suddenly put his hand under the water, holding Ji Shang's wrist, and pulled his naked upper body out of the water.

The sound of splashing water gradually became weaker, and the croaking of frogs and insects quietly appeared again.Ding Hengyuan looked at Ji Shang blankly, and said puzzledly: "Xiao Jiu, I want to kiss you."

Ji Shang could only hear his own heartbeat, spreading from his chest, almost bursting his eardrums, making him faint for a moment.

"Why would I want to kiss you?" Ding Hengyuan asked again.

Ji Shang said: "I don't mind if you find answers on me."

I don't know who stepped forward first, I don't know who grabbed whose shoulder first, the ripples on the water slowly swayed from the waists of the two, round after round.

They feel and confirm the strange and strong impulse towards each other when their lips touch and entangle, and they kiss every night, in all the places where there is no one.They are afraid of being known, but they want to announce it to the whole world.

On the night of Ding Sixin's birthday, they hugged and kissed from the table to the bedroom. The more they kissed, the more unbearable they became, and the more they kissed, the more they felt that it was not enough.They can't wait to take off each other's clothes. They need more touching, more skin-to-skin contact, more entanglement to find vent for the trembling and swelling emotions.

That night was not the end, but it was warm enough, until Ding Shaodong knocked on the door, the wet two were still tightly stuck together.

"Xiaoyuan, it's already ten o'clock. Why hasn't your sister come back from her class reunion? You go to the platform at the entrance of the village to pick her up."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Ding Hengyuan's words were smooth and smooth, and he stretched out his hand to cover Ji Shang's mouth, and rubbed against him again.

Ji Shang was teased by him, and when he heard Ding Shaodong's voice coming downstairs, he turned over and pushed Ding Hengyuan down, panting, "Stop making trouble, go pick up Sixin."

Ding Hengyuan sat up with Ji Shang in his arms, and cleaned himself and Ji Shang with a tissue. When he looked down and saw the objects that the two were still touching, he couldn't help kissing Ji Shang again.

They made an appointment with Ding Sixin in advance, asking her to go home before ten o'clock in the evening, and Ji Shang and Ding Hengyuan would celebrate her birthday.Who would have thought that the two of them would forget the time when they were arguing, if Ding Shaodong hadn't knocked on the door, they probably wouldn't have remembered this matter at all.

While kissing Ding Hengyuan, Ji Shang helped him put on his trousers, the zipper was rubbed and pulled to the top suddenly, Ding Hengyuan was startled, and jokingly said: "Be gentle, your future sex and fortune can be pointed at it."

Ji Shang looked at Ding Hengyuan, then looked down at himself, and said meaningfully: "It's not sure who is pointing at whom."

The two were tired and crooked, and it took a quarter of an hour before they packed up and went out.Before going out, Ding Hengyuan gave Ji Shang a white MP4, and said that he had downloaded several songs for Ji Shang.This is also Ding Sixin's birthday present. Ding Hengyuan bought two identical copies, one for his sister and one for Ji Shang.

After ten o'clock in the evening, the village was exceptionally quiet, but people's voices gradually boiled up when turning around the houses of the residents. From time to time, people came out from all the small alleys leading to the road, some were visiting, and some were confirming.

The pedestrian bumped into Ji Shang's shoulder and ran towards the main road.Ji Shang recognized those two people as friends brought by Wu Yingzi's nephew who was thrown to the countryside to experience life, one was Wang Jingping, and the other was Xiang Qing who had talked to Ji Shang a few words.

When Ji Shang saw that the villagers were running out, Wang Jingping and Xiang Qing were especially flustered, so he asked, "Little Pingzi, what's wrong?"

Wang Jingping stopped when he heard someone yelling, and Xiang Qing continued to run forward with the chaotic crowd without looking back. Wang Jingping was stunned, looking at Ji Shang and Ding Hengyuan for a long time speechless.

"Why are you shaking?" Ding Hengyuan repeated, "I ask you, what happened in front? Why are you running there?"

Wang Jingping looked at Ding Hengyuan and said in a trembling voice, "The sunflower field is on fire, everyone rushed to put out the fire."

Only then did Ji Shang follow the crowd to look towards the distant hills. The place where the sunflower field was located was indeed glowing red. The fire seemed to be on the other side of the mountain, but it was getting stronger as the night wind spread upwards. trend.

Ji Shang Ding Hengyuan ran to the flower field with the flow of people. The summer is dry and the things are dry, and the fire burning the mountain is no joke.Wang Jingping was left far behind.

The villagers came back and forth, and once the news spread, more and more people came to fight the fire. Some brought water containers, and some chopped mulberry branches that were not easy to burn. After a while, the fire in the flower field was extinguished.

There was a pungent smell of burning objects everywhere, and as the fire extinguished, the hills were shrouded in darkness again.Someone was looking for something lost while fighting the fire with a flashlight. Suddenly, a scream pierced through the mountains, and the flashlight fell to the ground. The person looking for something panicked and fell to the ground, pointing to a burnt place in the flower field: "That, that is..."

A few more beams of light shone in the past, and after shaking, they stopped at the same time.A dead body lies in a sunflower field devastated by burning.

Charred human corpses.

The crowd around were frightened by the scene and dispersed in a panic. The older people organized everyone to retreat, stepped forward boldly to confirm life and death, and then ran home to call the police.

The beam of light from the torch was still flickering in the scorched earth, but no one dared to shine on the charred corpse.Ji Shang picked up a flashlight that had fallen to the ground and looked over it, then stopped somewhere.

Not far from the charred body, there was a metal bracelet lying on the ashes of burnt grass and black soil. This bracelet was also burned. Although the original color could not be seen clearly, Ji Shang could recognize the heart bell on the bracelet.

When Ding Sixin went out in the afternoon, she shook her hands and jingled all the way. Ji Shang even teased her for wearing a dog bell.

The police detected that there was alcohol on the body, and there were traces of fireworks and burnt candles around. The heavily burned body showed no signs of external injury and no traces of interaction left by others. There was no sexual assault. There were ashes in the nose and mouth. Ding Sixin was burned to death Sometimes conscious.

According to the friends who met with Ding Sixin that day, when Ding Sixin left, he said that he was going to meet a male classmate named Han Xun, who was chasing Ding Sixin.Han Xun became a suspect, but was sent home after being taken to the police station for questioning.Han Xun originally asked Ding Sixin to celebrate her birthday alone that day, but Han Xun's mother found out that he had a puppy love, locked him at home, and didn't go out all day.

After the news spread, almost no one believed that Han Xun was innocent, including Ding Hengyuan's family.At ten o'clock in the evening, there are really limited people a little girl is willing to trust. Besides, there are fireworks, candles, and alcohol, all of which imply the intimate relationship between the two.Everyone thinks that even if Ding Sixin was not killed by Han Xun, he must have died in an accident during a date, and Han Xun couldn't get away with it no matter what.

Ji Shang wanted to accompany Ding Hengyuan in those few days, but the other party always avoided seeing him. Ding Hengyuan's window was always lit at night, and Ji Shang stood outside the courtyard all night, but he didn't wait for his figure to appear in front of the window.

Ding Sixin's death was classified as an accidental death. On the eve of his burial, Ji Shang met Ding Hengyuan.However, Ding Hengyuan said that if he hadn't hung out with Ji Shang in the house that night and went to the station early to pick up Ding Sixin to go home, none of this would have happened.

On the afternoon of Ding Sixin's burial, grandma Hou Suzhen found the MP4 that Ding Hengyuan gave Ji Shang in her pocket while helping Ji Shang to wash his clothes.

The pure white has been stained with black stains. Ji Shang lost it once on the night of fighting the fire in Huatian, and later found it on the mountain road.

He remembered that Ding Hengyuan said that he had written a few songs in it, and thought of how he had come here at that time, it was only a few days, but it seemed that he would never return to that time.Ding Hengyuan was right, the two of them were indeed responsible for Ding Sixin's death.

Ji Shang was crying and put on his earphones, but the voice from the earphones made him shudder.

It wasn't some romantic love song, or an affectionate confession.

It was a recording of the scene where Ding Sixin was murdered.
