20 kilometers north of Pitou City, on the site of Tingxi Villa halfway up the Meishan Mountain, Tingkexi B&B was built.

All things grow and multiply here, and they are interdependent and reverent of each other.

The lodge is surrounded by a nameless stream. The valley's flood ditches create a stream that flows all year round, and the sound of the water is like a symphony. As far as the eye can see, the mountains and forests are still covered with shade and verdant, which makes people feel refreshed and happy. It's just that it's no longer a protected area.

The new government has carried out the controlled development of Meishan, in addition to the homestay cluster, there is also a painter's village, and there is also a sketching base in the plan, etc., the times are changing, and the ideas are also changing.

Tingxi Villa no longer exists, few people knew about this place before, and even fewer people know about this place in the future.

Heading west along Binhe Road, the taxi gradually exits the urban area of Pitou City, where a meandering stream flows beside the road, which is a newly repaired tourist avenue that leads directly to the halfway up the mountain.

When you open the window, a breath of fresh air hits your nose, and birds chirp happily along the way, as if they are welcoming guests from afar. The leaves of many large trees in the mountains are still full compared to the urban areas, and there are more full colors here than in the urban areas.

Ji Han leaned on the car window, looking at the scenery outside, happy like a child. Song Daming's mood was still heavy, but looking at Ji Han's happy appearance, he also slowly walked out of his gloomy state. Twenty minutes later, the taxi arrived at a Republican-style building. Song Daming booked this homestay called Tingkexi from the Internet, and it cost 3,000 yuan a night, which made Song Daming feel distressed for a long time, but if Ji Han could spend these few days happily, it would be worth it.

Most of the buildings are new, but they also retain the main body of the original building, those Republican-style gatehouses and exterior walls, faintly visible bricks and stones have been slowly worn away in the years, leaving only those dumb facades, in another era, and those new materials are trying to merge.

After entering the main entrance, the façade is a large courtyard, a large courtyard. A large swimming pool was made in the middle of the courtyard. Around the courtyard are guest rooms and restaurants. Song Daming booked the most expensive room, near the northwest side near the cliff by the stream. More than half of the room is built on the ground, and the other part is designed to be hollow, and in the bedroom room, you can have an unobstructed view of the outside without any obstruction.

The room booked by Song Daming is a large room with two bedrooms, one guest and one study, and the room near the northwest side is the suspended viewing room, with the living room in the middle and another room in front of it. Song Daming gave Ji Han the room with the best view, and he went to another room. There was still a period of time before going to bed, and after Song Daming made arrangements, he went to his room to watch TV.

From the moment he entered this courtyard, Ji Han didn't say a word, his expression and state were constantly changing, Mu Ne's face was surprised for a while, sad for a while, thoughtful for a while, and frosted again for a while. Song Daming didn't notice Ji Han's expression, he just admired the design and furnishings here.

As soon as he entered the room, Song Daming couldn't wait to video with Li Baoxia, Li Baoxia just took someone to see the house, returned to the office, and had nothing to do, so he chatted with Song Daming. The furnishings in the room here are all Republic of China style, and the room is ingeniously set up with a lot of elements of the Republic of China period, such as a record player with a loudspeaker, a hand-cranked dial-up telephone, a carved cabinet, etc., and the painting on the wall is also a woman wearing a cheongsam and holding a fan during the Republic of China.

Li Baoxia was in no mood to appreciate women, when she learned that she would ask for 2,000 yuan a night, she almost crawled over from the other end of the phone and strangled Song Daming, 3,000 yuan was worth a month's salary. In fact, Song Daming said 1000 less.

"I said Daming, are you floating, you have to go crazy if you have a little money?" Li Baoxia said angrily in the video.

"What's this, I'm going to take it to such a place in the future, it's cheap, now many hotels usually cost seven or eight thousand a night, and I'll buy you a villa in the future, and the fortune tellers have said that I live in a villa." Song Daming boasted while imagining the future.

Li Baoxia said angrily: "You stinky security guard, you just have a little money and you burn the bag, you can do it!"

"Wife, you have to have faith in me, not only do we have to buy a villa, but you also have to give me a few children, of course, after I have children, I will never let my children go to cram school on weekends, it's just not like words. Song Daming was so happy that even the child imagined it.

Li Baoxia on the other end of the phone became even more angry: "I think you are too disobedient, your children don't go to school, will you be a security guard like you in the future? Besides, you also went to college and became a security guard." ”

"Hey, woman, I'm the vice president now, please call me vice president Song, haha"

"Ah~~ah~~ah~~~" There was a scream from another room, which frightened Song Daming and quickly hung up the phone and rushed to Ji Han's room.

Ji Han was curled up at the moment, squatting in the corner, his eyes staring at the stream outside, he was trembling. He muttered in his mouth: "No, come to the dean, I won't go, I won't go, I don't want to go alone." ”

Song Daming thought of the welfare institute, it must be the surname of the director of the welfare institute, could it be that Ji Han was kicked out of the welfare institute?

Ji Han's expression was very painful, he lived in his hair, and said with a hideous look: "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm not afraid of fire, I want to live here with you for the rest of my life." ”

Ji Han had predicted the fire, that is, before the animals fled.

Song Daming didn't know this, he once heard Officer Zhou say that the welfare home was disbanded because of the fire, and God knew what Ji Han suffered in that welfare home, and it must have been the director of the welfare home who drove Ji Han away.

Thinking of this, Song Daming hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Ji Han's arm tightly with both hands, and said to Ji Han: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Brother Daming is with you, no one can drive you away, I spent 3,000 yuan!"

Ji Han stopped his crazy moves, he looked at Song Daming, slowly stood up, sat on the bed without saying a word, he stared blankly at the blank wall, like there was something on the wall.

Song Daming was worried that Ji Han would have other bad moves, so he arranged Ji Han to his room, and he stayed by Ji Han's side, waiting until Ji Han fell asleep, then gently closed them and walked to another room.

The sky outside has completely darkened, Song Daming opened the window, the mountain breeze at night blew in, and the sound of the stream clearly reached his ears, in the black sky, how much unknown feelings, Song Daming didn't dare to think. He just wanted to spend the two days well, take Ji Han out of here, and it was best to never come back.

When Song Daming woke up, he found that he might have caught a cold and forgot to close the window last night. When he got up, he found that Ji Han had already gotten up, and the strange Ji Han from yesterday was gone. Ji Han walked back and forth in the yard, muttering to something underground for a while, and leaning against a big locust tree for a while, as if hugging the big locust tree. There were not a few birds flying in the sky, Ji Han raised his head to look at the flying birds, and waved his hand as if to say hello.

Ji Han was like this all day, and when the homestay housekeeper came, he said to Song Daming, "Your friend is really interesting, you can make friends with everything here, haha, I think he is more familiar with this place than me!"

Song Daming smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, my friend, sometimes he is just like a child, and everything is full of curiosity." ”

"That's great, the B&B is to let everyone get closer to nature and return to nature, I think your friend, is the meaning of our B&B." ”

Song Daming smiled bitterly again. When it was close to evening, Ji Han stopped this strange exploration behavior, Song Daming kept looking at Ji Han, and he felt strange, as if Ji Han grew up here, Ji Han was not at all like the Ji Han he saw on weekdays, he was so timid to go anywhere, and always hid behind himself.

Where will Song Daming understand that for the 21-year-old Ji Han, he has lived here for the first 20 years of his life, and he has never walked out of this courtyard, by chance, he returned here, although things are not human, the courtyard is no longer the original after the fire, and the new structural layout is no longer the layout of the experimental base. But there is always something familiar to write, such as feeling, feeling that you can't see or touch, but there is always someone who can perceive it. It was ----- I felt like I'd been here!

"I seem to have been here!" Ji Han said to Song Daming.
