Autumn comes early, the leaves fall, and the withering feeling is like a faded maple leaf.

"Yue Lin, why don't you go to get the New Year's goods, how are you going to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Xiao Yuan walked in from the door,

Hearing her reminder, Yue Lin saved the file and turned off the computer, looked at the wall watch, it was already past the end of work, and the department seemed empty.

"Secretary Xiao, why are you leaving so late today?"

"Come on, just call his name, it's not work time!" Xiao Yuan glanced at him as he spoke.

When Yue Lin received this little look, his heart trembled, as if he had been electrocuted, and he smiled and said, "Got it, Sister Xiao!"

Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, and when she came to her senses, her apricot eyes were round, "Yue Lin, where are you Miss!

Yue Lin opened his mouth half-open, "???......"

"There are a lot of benefits this year, those frozen fish have to be put in the refrigerator, I drove here today, and I will send you home by the way!" Xiao Yuan turned around and left the department as he spoke.

"Home?" Yue Lin blurted out without thinking.

I was stunned for a while, yes, I not only have a dormitory, but also an empty home, it's not right to think about it, it's just a house, where are the relatives, where is the home.

"Hey, Sister Xiao... Sister, wait for me!" Yue Lin added one more word, thinking that she should be satisfied.

The trunk of the BMW was stuffed to the brim, and it got out of the compound of the unit and drove towards the suburbs.

"Okay! Xiao Yuan, I really didn't know you could drive!"

"You don't know much!" Xiao Yuan stopped at the red light, turned her face proudly, looked at Yue Lin in embarrassment and smiled.

"Heh, are you embarrassed? However, for the sake of bringing me breakfast every day, I will teach you to drive when I have time!"

As Xiao Yuan spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed, her crescent-like smiling eyes were clear and clear.

Yue Lin retracted his expression and did not respond, looking at the people coming and going outside the window, feeling like a grain of ups and downs.

At this time, Xiao Yuan's mobile phone rang, and she frowned slightly when she saw the incoming call displayed on her mobile phone.

"Hey, yes, I'm Xiao Yuan, who are you?"

"Hanten, do we know each other?"

"Oh! It's Mr. Ning! I'm still wondering, where is the friend surnamed Han!"

"I don't have time tonight, I'm still driving the car, so I'll hang up first, and I'll talk about it later!"

The green light was already on, Xiao Yuan hurriedly hung up the phone and continued to drive forward, and after a while, the phone rang again.

She glanced at the phone screen, but did not answer the call, and rang several times without stopping.

The car was very quiet, and the voice on the other end of the phone just now, Yue Lin heard it very clearly, it was a very magnetic man's voice.

"Xiao Yuan, I'm really sorry to delay your business!"

"It's okay!" Xiao Yuan's tone was very light, and the answer was very simple.

Yue Lin didn't say anything more, after all, after crossing the intersection in front of him, he got off the bridge and arrived home, so there was no need to be polite.

The phone rang again, Xiao Yuan seemed a little upset, hesitated for a while, and picked up the phone casually.

"Mom, I'm driving!"

"No, he's coming back, what does that have to do with me?"

"Mom...... don't provoke me, you know I'm not suitable for driving, and you still provoke me, wait until I go back!"

Looking at the autumn colors of the river under the bridge, Yue Lin's heart touched the autumn coolness, and he became depressed for no reason, and the best way to not blossom and bear fruit is not to sprout.

Looking up at the three small houses, which are his home, the car is slowly parked in front of the door with the turn signal, and Aunt Tian is picking vegetables at the door.

The two got out of the car to greet her, the front of the door was cleaned very clean, presumably since the grandfather left, the surrounding area was cleaned up by Aunt Tian, and the New Year's goods were moved down.

"Xiao Yuan, go back slowly, pay attention to safety!" Yue Lin instructed.

"Hmm! Yue Lin ......!"

Xiao Yuan seemed to have something to say, but it stopped abruptly.

Aunt Tian, who turned around and smiled at the door, greeted her politely, "Auntie, I'm leaving!"

Xiao Yuan turned the car around, the window fell, and Yue Lin hurriedly walked over, knowing that she had something to say.

"Don't commit suicide, you must answer the phone as soon as possible!"

Yue Lin: "???......"

"Squeak!" Xiao Yuan held her face high, waiting for his response.

Although Yue Lin felt inexplicable and even a little funny, he still nodded sincerely.

Xiao Yuan gave him a blank look, "This is a nod, what I want is for you to promise me personally!"

"I promise you!"

"What did you promise me?" Xiao Yuan asked exaggeratedly.

Yue Lin's face was full of embarrassment, this matter really made him unspeakable, "I promise you no, I won't commit suicide, and I will answer the phone as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise?"

"Otherwise, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky......"

"Come on, come on! It's better to commit suicide! Remember your words!" Xiao Yuan said lightly, but her expression was very serious.

Looking at the taillights of the car in the distance, Yue Lin couldn't cry or laugh, reminding him of what his buddy said, women will make boring things for you.

"Xiaolin, this girl is so likable, she is handsome, and she has good eyes, listening to her aunt's words is right, it's hard to find a lantern!"

After Aunt Tian spoke, she put down the vegetables she had picked and washed, wiped her hand on her apron, and helped Yue Lin pick up the New Year's goods home.

Yue Lin smiled, "Aunt Tian, I'll keep this little cooked product, and you can take all the rest of the raw fish, raw meat, and peanut oil!"

"How can it be done, you put it in the refrigerator, and occasionally you go home and have it ready!"

"Aunt Tian, I can't eat much, I usually eat at the unit, and I basically don't come back, and if I put it at home, it will be bad!"

Yue Lin said the truth, and didn't care whether Aunt Tian agreed or not, so she mentioned the New Year's goods to her house, Aunt Tian shook her head, sighed, and took it.

"Aunt Tian, Li Wei didn't come back?" Yue Lin asked casually.

"He called back at noon, saying that it was a meeting and said that the construction period was too tight, and he would return to China after these days!" Aunt Tian responded.

Li Wei is Aunt Tian's eldest son, but also Yue Lin's classmate, dropped out of junior high school after graduation, followed his father to work on the construction site, three years ago, his father fell from a height and died, and the construction site took care of him to go abroad to work.

"Xiaolin, Lijuan is coming back soon, I'll fry a few dishes in a while, and you will eat it at your aunt's side!"

"Aunt Tian, don't bother you, when you finish frying, just clip me a little bit of everything, I want to go and see my grandfather!"

When Yue Lin got home and cleaned up the bed, he saw the small wooden box under the pillow and wondered what it was inside and what the symbol on the lock meant.

In fact, if you want to know what's in the wooden box, it's quite simple, picking the lock is the most direct way, but Yue Lin is reluctant to do this, after all, this is what his grandfather left for himself.

He lay on the bed and thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a call, "Luo Luan, isn't your marriage decided this month? Why haven't you heard the letter yet!"

"Oh, let me know in advance, by the way, did your cousin contact the man?"

"Okay, I'll look for you tomorrow!"

The courtyard door opened, and Aunt Tian's Lijuan walked in with the dishes, "Brother, my mother asked me to send the dishes over, and a bottle of wine, saying that grandpa likes to drink sorghum wine!"

Yue Lin walked out of the room and quickly took it, "Lijuan, I don't need so much, how can I eat, I'll make room for you later!"

I took out a plate from the cook, and thought that the road to the cemetery was not easy to walk, so I changed to a large blue and white porcelain bowl.

After Lijuan left, Yue Lin lifted the convenience belt in one hand, sorghum wine in the other, and a roll of burning paper in his armpit, and went out towards the cemetery.

It is already the late autumn season, the sky is getting shorter, the sunset is only a line of sky, and the autumn wind blows cool, piercing the thin coat.

Under the pine tree on the slope ahead, there was the grave of his grandfather, Yue Lin looked at the tombstone, but frowned, there was a pile of paper ashes in the pool where the paper was burned.

This surprised him, his grandfather and his life depended on him, and he had no other relatives in the world, not to mention that his grandfather moved here more than 20 years ago and was not an authentic local.

"Who will burn paper for grandpa?" Yue Lin said to himself.

There is still sparks in the ashes, indicating that this person has not been away for a long time, but this is a cemetery, and there is only one passage on the main road, but he did not encounter vehicles and pedestrians when he came.

Yue Lin looked down the hillside, but it was a fog, he sensed that something was wrong, judging by the state of the ashes, this person should meet him.

Could it be that he was worried about being discovered by himself, so this person hid nearby, thinking that he was here to mourn his grandfather, and there was no need to hide from himself, Yue Lin was difficult to understand.

When I took out the moon cakes, put the wine and food on the table, and was about to burn the paper, I patted my head and forgot to bring matches.

Seeing that the paper ash was still smoking, he walked over and wanted to start a fire, and when he was lying on the edge of the paper burning pond to blow sparks, a cool autumn breeze blew out the paper ash in the pool.

"Grandpa, don't save money for my grandson, I've saved two months' salary, when I really want to honor my grandfather, you won't give me a chance, besides, I don't dare to spend this paper money!"

The grizzled Yue Lin kept chattering in his mouth, he usually spoke little, as if he had spit out all the words he had accumulated for many days with his grandfather.

Unconsciously, Yue Lin actually held the bottle cap, drank a glass of liquor, and clinked glasses with the tombstone from time to time, just like the grandfather and grandson drank the same wine before.

"Grandpa, I went fishing by the river again that day, and I used your fishing rod to occupy your fishing spot!"

"It's weird, I just threw off the rod, and guess what?

Yue Lin raised his head, took a sip of wine, burped, and the strength of the wine began to rise on his face.

"Hurry up and take a look, it turns out that the fish is biting on the float, it glanced at me, and then let go and fell into the water!"

"Just as he was expressing regret, he jumped out of the water and asked me, boy, where is your grandfather?"

"Alas, grandpa, even the fish in the river miss you......"

When Yue Lin said this, he lowered his head and cried bitterly, he wanted to go back to the days when he lived with his grandfather.

Suddenly, he was stunned, and vaguely heard who was sobbing, and after repeated confirmation, it seemed to be a woman's sobbing sound, coming from behind a grave not far away.

In the cemetery in the middle of the night, there was a woman's throat, even if the wine was strong and intimidating, this kind of humming was creepy.

Yue Lin was naturally no exception, the caps of the wine bottles were bitten flat, thinking to himself about this time scene, the woman didn't bring a ghost word, how embarrassed to come here.

Standing up and looking behind the grave, the moonlight was really powerful, and I could clearly see a back, still wearing a white trench coat, and the night wind stirred the long hair of the shawl.

Yue Lin looked for something to defend himself, and picked up the wine bottle, when he thought of the description in the novel, this kind of dry will not work, hard will not work, soft will not work.

Take a sip of wine and try to calm yourself down.

"Grandpa, I'll draw some paper money first, and I'll bring you more next time!"

As soon as Yue Lin finished speaking, before his hand touched the roll of burning paper, a cool autumn wind blew.

"Boom la la ......"

A roll of paper money was blown up, and the ghost sent it to the woman, spilling it all over the ground, making Yue Lin is dumbfounded, grandpa was so generous.

He observed the reaction of the woman in the trench coat, and saw that she was looking at the burning paper all over the floor, probably because she was so moved, she turned from low crying to big crying.

Yue Lin heard her cry, although he was still terrified, he always felt that something was wrong there, this cry should be painful, even mixed with despair.

He had an idea, taking advantage of her crying, he had to get out of here quickly, and in hesitation, an unexpected scene appeared.

The woman ran away crying, Yue Lin opened her mouth half-open, puzzled, thinking that she didn't ask for paper money, so she let herself go?

However, when I saw the car lights on under the cemetery, I slapped my head, and people were really scared and killed.

I hurriedly went to retrieve the paper money, but it was blown away by the wind, thinking that either my grandfather made a fortune over there, or it was ......

When he thought of this, Yue Lin's heart sank, could the paper ash in front of his grandfather's monument be burned by this woman in a windbreaker, but why did she run?

Yue Lin thought about it while packing up his things, and when he picked up the big blue and white bowl, his eyes were straight.

At the bottom of the large blue and white porcelain bowl, the inlaid characters are the characters on the copper lock. I remembered that my grandfather used to drink soup with it, and every time he drank it upside down.

Yue Lin also sees it from time to time, no wonder he feels familiar, but he never pays attention to it, although he finds the origin of the character, but what does it mean?

I felt that my finger was pricked by a needle, and there was a cold tingling, and under the cold moonlight, I touched the fingertips at the bottom of the bowl, and waved a cold breath.

The words inlaid at the bottom of the bowl were penetrated by the cold, and gradually rose and slowly fell off, and Yue Lin discovered the mystery that it was actually inlaid with a key.
