Chapter 1 Ancient City
The May sky, as if washed away from dust, is bright and charming. The faint clouds, as well as the looming rainbow in the sky, are broken down into multiple different colors against the blue sky, which is beautiful and colorful. There is an ancient city under the sky, and there is a section of the ancient city wall that remains intact. There was a young man sitting on the wall, and the two of them looked blankly at the quicksand river below the city, which flowed endlessly, and on the other side of the river was the famous Moon Island.
Qin Fan came back to his senses, took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, lit it, and took the first puff of cigarette since his rebirth.
He sat blankly on the top of the wall for two hours, making sure that he had been reborn thirty years ago. Before being reborn, he was a dick, didn't God see it and beat it back to relive it?
Thinking about the future generations, Qin Fan sighed.
On the pontoon bridge of the quicksand river in the distance, two girls are gradually approaching. Walking under the wall, the taller girl inadvertently glanced up.
Isn't that Qin Fan?" The other girl also looked up: "It's really him, he skipped class again today?"
"Hee-hee, maybe I'm waiting for someone!" the tall girl teased.
"Just talk nonsense, and call him down to ask. ”
Qin Fan was thinking wildly, and there was a female voice under the city wall shouting "Qin Fan", looking down, but it was acquaintance, Ruan Wanqing and Dong Min.
"Come down, come down. The girls waved and shouted. Qin Fan stood up, patted the dust on his body, found a gap and walked down.
"Hello two sisters. ”
"Hee-hee, the little mouth is so sweet. Dong Min laughed.
"Skipping class again?" asked Ruan Wanqing.
"Yes, the teacher gave me a vacation. Qin Fan opened his mouth and said nonsense.
Looking at Qin Fan's shoes, and then looking at Qin Fan's appearance, Dong Min scolded with a smile: "Look at you, you are a first-class scoundrel." ”
"Come, let the rascals hug. Qin Fan said with a gesture.
"Come less!" Dong Min hurriedly hid behind Wanqing.
"I'm going to die!" Wanqing pushed Qin Fan. "It's time for your shoes to change, and you're not afraid to cover your feet, they're all about to stink, right?"
Qin Fan looked at the shoes on his feet, but they were the former labor protection shoes, and the mid-top shoes processed by himself with shoe polish after buying them looked very cool, and they were a bit covered in this weather. "Change, change, my sister said that I must change it, and I will change my liberation shoes tomorrow. Wanqing imagined Qin Fan's appearance in liberation shoes, and couldn't help but shake her head.
"Brother Qin, are you going home? ”
"Go back, can you go home. The three of them slowly walked towards the west of the ancient city.
On the ground of the streets of the ancient city, there are still bluestone slabs, and there are two-story wooden buildings on both sides. Walking on the bluestone slab, it really feels like going back to ancient times. The shop is open, but when the market is closed, it is made of long wooden planks. The upper floors were also boarded up, except for one window and another window, which was propped up with a bamboo pole. "What are you looking at?" Dong Min gently nudged Qin Fan.
Qin Fan was looking up at the window and replied casually: "Alas, I was watching that bamboo pole fall and hit me on the head." ”
Dong Min was stunned for a moment, and said sarcastically: "Do you think you are a big official of Ximen?"
Ruan Wanqing thought about it, and only reacted after a while, and couldn't help but hug Dong Min and laugh, Alas, this sister's laughter is a little low.
On both sides of the street, there are people who make bamboo products, such as bamboo baskets, round steaming baskets, bamboo furniture, etc., as well as those who sell homemade sugar cakes, twist flowers, and vermicelli, noodles, and even a company that makes wreaths and shrouds.
There are not many pedestrians on the streets, and most of the people who walk are half-grown children and some old people.
Qin Fan and the three of them walked with a smile.
"Ahh
Dong Min and Ruan Wanqing heard the sound and looked at Qin Fan, but Qin Fan looked at Dong Min.
"What do I do? Dong Min said angrily.
"Aren't you talking about that?" Qin Fan joked.
"To die, like you, who is neither male nor female. ”
"Let's find a fight!"
"Giggles... You two are like a pair of enemies. Wanqing said with a smile.
"No, you can't say that about me, you're my little enemy. Dong Min said as he snorted Wanqing's itchy flesh.
"It's so cold, it's so cold, it's so cold...... Qin Fan pretended to tremble and shouted. Uncle Soul, it's also fun to tease the two girls.
The two turned back to Qin Fan in unison: "Shut up!"
"Okay, I'll shut up...... Hey, I'll treat my two sisters to dinner. "There was a foul smell wafting through the air.
"Okay. Hee-hee, this is my good brother. Dong Min sniffed and said, and Wanqing also sniffed with her small and cute nose.
Turning the corner, I saw three or two people standing around an oil pot, the oil in the oil pot was rolling, and the black dry was also rolling. That's right, this is the fried stinky dried son of the fat sister of Gu Gao Ancheng. Qin Fan also liked to eat in his previous life, and the girls in Gao'an City also liked to eat this stinky dried seed that smelled stinky and fragrant.
"Eldest sister, come to three. ”
"Okay, three servings will be fine. When she turned around, she saw Wanqing muttering to Dong Min in a low voice, her eyes looking at the pot next to her from time to time. Qin Fan fixed his eyes, but it was a pot of Wangzi eggs, and three little girls were sitting around and eating them.
"Do you want to eat?" Qin Fan asked. Wanqing and Dong Min shook their heads at the same time: "I'm still a little afraid to eat." ”
"I don't dare. Qin Fan admitted. This Wang Zi egg is only eaten by the girl of Zhen'an, and it is rare in other places.
In his previous life, Qin Fan and a customer from Guangdong came to Gao'an to investigate, and when they walked in the evening, they saw beautiful girls sitting around and picking eggs to eat, and the customer was very surprised, and even said that Cantonese people dare to eat anything, but this Wang Zi egg really dare not eat. To put it bluntly, this egg is a small egg that has been formed, boiled in brine, cracked into the shell, and inside is a little chick one by one, some are not hairy, and some are hairy. The scalp is numb when you look at it, but the person who eats it relish it. It is said that this Wang Zi egg can beautify and nourish the skin.
"Your three servings are good. The fat eldest sister handed over three stinky dried seeds as she spoke, brushed them with hot sauce, and took a small bite, which was really fragrant.
"It's delicious, I haven't eaten it in a long time. Dong Min said while eating. Wanqing also nodded while eating, and she couldn't talk anymore.
"Three more. Qin Fan wiped his mouth and said to the fat eldest sister.
"Okay, I can eat to my heart's content. Dong Min said happily. After the bombing, Qin Fan teased and said, "It's all mine." ”
Wanqing and Dong Min looked at each other for a moment, and shouted at the same time: "Rob!"
In a blink of an eye, the share in Qin Fan's hand was gone.
"The two sisters are too much!" Qin Fan said helplessly. While paying six cents to the fat sister, the fat sister took the money and said with a smile: "I still have stinky tofu here, do you want to try it?" "Three bowls!" Dong Min shouted anxiously before he could swallow the contents in his mouth.
"Do you want to bring you a few more Wangzi eggs?" Qin Fan said deliberately.
"Don't, sister is timid. Dong Min said busily.
"Wangzi eggs are beautifying. Qin Fan tempted, Dong Min tilted his head and thought about it while eating, and finally shook his head.
"It's so refreshing to eat. Ruan Wanqing took out a handkerchief from her bag, wiped her mouth carefully, and instantly returned to her elegant appearance.
"Thank you, Sister Yi Tian invites you. Wanqing said softly, "And don't skip class, otherwise my sister will be unhappy." As he spoke, he wiped the sauce on the corner of Qin Fan's mouth with the handkerchief in his hand.
"Look at your pet. Dong Min said shyly.
Qin Fan grabbed Wanqing's pretty shoulder, "Just Sister Wanqing spoils me, what's wrong?"
"Sister, I also spoil you, can I take a few photos of my sister on Sunday?" Dong Min demanded.
"Then sister, are you here too?" Qin Fan looked at Wanqing.
"You've taken so many beautiful pictures of her, and I'm going to take them too. Dong Min said a little jealously. Qin Fan took a set of portraits of Wanqing, and after Wanqing showed it to her, she felt that it was very good-looking, so beautiful........
"You can shoot her, I think you did a good job. Wanqing also persuaded her.
"Well, we'll see you in the school studio that Sunday afternoon. Dong Min happily hugged Qin Fan's arm and shook it.
After agreeing, they said goodbye to Qin Fan, and after walking for a while, Ruan Wanqing looked back, only to see Qin Fan's small figure still standing there watching them, and she felt a trace of sweetness in her heart. "Hey, don't look at it, let me tell you, do you feel that Qin Fan is a little different from before?" Dong Min said while holding Wanqing. Wanqing thought about it, but she felt that it was a little different.
"yes, I think it's a little different, too. ”
"Right, especially when I look at you, your eyes are different from before, as if there is a kind of melancholy. Dong Min said uncertainly.
"Oh, that's really ...... you said." The two girls talked as they walked. Looking at their distant backs, if Qin Fan knew what they were saying behind their backs, he would definitely be secretly happy, but the young body had the soul of an uncle, it must be a little different.
But at this time, Qin Fan was immersed in some of the past before his rebirth: during the period after that, he and Wanqing got along very happily, this was Qin Fan's first love girl. He liked her, and she liked him. Until September of that year, he left the ancient city and went to Jiangcheng University, obviously to go to art training, but he actually ran away.
When Qin Fan returned to the ancient city near the end of the year, he could no longer find his beloved girl, ---- Wanqing.
In those gloomy days, Qin Fan went to look for her like crazy, but there was no trace of her anymore, as if Wanqing only existed in his dreams. Most of her classmates, her friends, said that Wanqing had disappeared sometime in November. When she found Dong Min, she just kept crying. Soon, Dong Min also left Zhen'an City. The trustee checked at the police station, and the registered case was only two words: missing!
I don't know how Qin Fan survived those days, and he was immersed in painful memories every day.
Thinking of the feeling of pain and despair back then, Qin Fan's heart seemed to be grasped by some kind of big hand at this time, and the pain made him lean his body, like an old man who was about to die......
