solo traveler

Although Zhao Lintao studied hard in Japan, his life was not monotonous at all.

He is experiencing a life different from that in China with his heart.It is very open here, with advanced technology and new things that he could not touch in China. He has studied hard in the past few years and constantly observed the world in his spare time.

Guan He couldn't help thinking of his college days, he was somewhat similar to this person, he had a lot of time to study every day, discuss and communicate with his classmates, or chat from time to time.It’s just that Zhao Lintao’s extracurricular life is much richer than Guan He’s. After all, Guan He is just an ordinary person in the materialistic modern age. Guan He only has a good relationship with his roommates in college, and he spends most of his time alone. Doing their own things freely, and occasionally coming out of their own world for entertainment.

His sullenness is related to his eyes. After all, he has been a little lonely because of this since he was a child. Moreover, he even felt that he was different from others in the second year of middle school. He fell into a strange situation where he had no friends to find, so he didn't bother to integrate into the group. .In fact, it is just a cover-up of inferiority.

But Zhao Lintao is different.At the beginning, Guan He couldn't tell whether the ability to see ghosts with the naked eye that he still had came from him or Zhao Lintao. Later, Guan He heard Zhao Lintao's inner complaints several times, and it was confirmed that he also had this unlucky ability.It's just that he lives very easily, almost turning a blind eye to those things, maybe he is very used to it, anyway, he is almost like an ordinary person.

This is a person who gets along very well with the people around him. Guan He stands in his perspective and looks at it with scrutiny. This person does not mean that he has a super high emotional intelligence, but he is very kind and straightforward.

On the other hand, Guan He, who also has the "welfare" from God, is very straight.

Soon, the banana leaves turned green, and there were more and more sunny days. Zhao Lintao, who was wearing light clothes, became more and more cheerful.It's already June, and he will soon return to his hometown after four years of absence.

So, with the excitement of being influenced by Zhao Lintao, Guan He saw China in the 30s.So he deeply experienced the old and ancient atmosphere of that era, but was also shocked by its vividness.

These are not pictures and text descriptions in history books and documents, but moving and changing scenes.This is where a generation lives.I don't know if he was affected by the empathy, but Guan He felt that his spirit suddenly became excited.

Zhao Lintao met at the ferry with his uncle who came to pick him up, and chatted all the way to Suzhou City by car.The journey was not very long, and while Zhao Lintao was chatting with his uncle about some novelty, while Guan He was curiously looking at the scenery outside the window, it ended soon.

They passed through a lively old street, Zhao Lintao suddenly sat up straight and looked around, he couldn't wait to ask his uncle for confirmation, the middle-aged man with mustache confirmed with a smile, this is a street near his home, turn around In the past, it was a medical clinic run by the Zhao family for generations.

The old plaque of "Zhao's Medical Center" is already visible.

Guan He saw a person unexpectedly when he jumped out of the field of vision.

Guan He's heart skipped a beat, somewhat suspecting that he was blind.

Fortunately, Zhao Lintao seemed to have noticed that corner too, and his gaze stayed there for a while longer.So Guan He had the opportunity to see clearly that beside the open facade of the Zhao Family Medical Center, there was a small miscellaneous shop selling daily necessities, with a stairway sandwiched in between, and in the gap of this passage, someone placed a cold shop. The small stall, wearing round-frame sunglasses, sat there indecently.

Although he was wearing glasses to cover his face, Guan He still believed that the person was Xu Yang based on his first impression.

Guan He was taken aback by his intuition. To be honest, he had only met that person a few times, so he shouldn't have come to such a conclusion.But that feeling, like they've known each other for a long, long time.

Zhao Lintao stopped there for a moment, then turned to ask the uncle on the side: "The fortune-telling shop next to our house is still alive! I remember that when I was younger, I liked to visit that gentleman, but I thought his business It’s not easy to do, after so many years, I should have been unable to leave, I never thought I would see him again when I come back.”

The uncle laughed and said, "That's right, those fortune tellers rely on their mouths to make a living. Although it has become more difficult to make a living in recent years, this one is a stubborn person. Maybe he doesn't come to set up a stall for a few days, but these years It’s always been here.” The uncle wiped his beard, and then remembered something, “A few days ago, I seemed to be looking for a gatekeeper in this building, and I thought he was too much to do, so I wanted to persuade him to make room. result……"

"He told those people that if you want to find a gatekeeper, just use him. Not only are there no bad guys, but they can also ward off evil spirits!"

"Well, I didn't think that before, he set up a stall next to our medical center, mostly asking people about life and death, so the business should be much easier." Zhao Lintao got out of the car and chatted with his uncle.

"No, it's been more than ten years, and I haven't left."

Guan He had almost put away his initial surprise, and he became more and more convinced that it was Xu Yang, probably pretending to be a ghost at that time.Thinking about it, it still fits his personality very well.

As soon as Zhao Lintao entered the medical hall through the side door, he smelled the scent of medicine that he had been familiar with for many years. It was blocked by several doors for a while, and he could smell some sweetness and bitterness faintly.Zhao Lintao said hello to the sister-in-law who was prescribing medicine through the open door, and the woman in a bun looked at the young man outside the door and shouted happily: "Lintao is back! , go upstairs and meet your mother, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhao Lintao responded, and then went upstairs with his uncle.

Guan He was a little dizzy from the ubiquitous smell of traditional Chinese medicine.The hospital he was in was mostly smelled of disinfectant, except for the place where the medicine was taken, it was rare to have such a strong medicinal fragrance.And he was smoked by the familiar smell of disinfectant, and he couldn't get used to the change of smell for a while.

Guan He wanted to breathe as smoothly as possible, and it was best to hold his breath and pass through this area with a particularly strong smell of medicine.But at this time, Zhao Lintao was in the joy of just returning home, so happy that he couldn't help but increase his breathing, supplying oxygen to the heart that was breaking out of excitement.

So Guan He couldn't resist for a while, and had no choice but to wash his lungs with the rich and unadded natural breath, and felt so relieved that he wanted to curse.
