Xinxiang

When I arrived, it was already dawn, and after a night of bumps in the car, Lynch only felt that his ** was stirred, and the muscles in his body were extremely sore.

With his feet on his native land and the smell of earth peculiar to the countryside, Lynch stretched.

It's finally here.

When he came back this time, Lynch didn't say hello to his parents in the county, his parents' feelings have always been incompatible, and every time he went home, he either quarreled or separated, and he was too lazy to go back.

Looking at the stone monument of Xinxiang from afar.

Lynch suddenly remembered the time when he played here as a child.

Everything went by so fast.

At that time, he was a carefree child, and in the blink of an eye, he grew up.

He sighed.

Standing at the intersection of the Xinxiang stone monument, he didn't know where to go for a while, since his grandmother died, the roots of Xinxiang this place have been broken, and there is no one relative.

Are you Xiaoqi?

While Lynch was thinking about where to go, a yellow-faced, unkempt middle-aged man walked in front of him.

You are?

Lynch asked.

He didn't seem to know this person in his memory.

I'm Li Qiang, don't you know me?

The person who came called himself Li Qiang, grinned, and walked towards Lynch.

Li Qiang?

Lynch thought about his memory, as if he was a playmate when he was a child, there was indeed such a person, but it was obviously very different from the middle-aged man in front of him.

Yes, we used to dig snake holes and cross the river together, have you forgotten that?

I remember!

Lynch smiled politely and looked at the man in front of him, and he did have a familiar impression.

Just remember. Li Qiang touched his head and smiled, looking a little embarrassed.

Li Qiang, I haven't seen you for so many years, you have changed so much.

Li Qiang obviously misunderstood what Lynch meant, his face was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to place his hands full of desquamation and frostbite.

That's it, you can't compare with the people in the city, you can't study, you can only do some farm work.

That was not what I meant.

Lynch hurriedly defended, knowing that Li Qiang had misunderstood what he meant.

I heard from my uncle that you were admitted to university.

Li Qiang changed the subject and jumped from himself to Lynch.

That's right!

An ordinary medical school!

Li Qiang's eyes were shining, full of infinite yearning.

Then you'll be a doctor from now on.

I also have a friend who is a doctor.

Lynch, you're amazing.

Hearing this, Lynch's heart was sour, for what he could reach, when it came to Li Qiang, it became out of reach.

In fact, Li Qiang was very smart when he was a child, but his family was poor, so he stopped studying in junior high school and worked as a farmer at home.

By the way, Hikari was busy standing here talking.

What about uncle?

Didn't come back?

Li Qiang saw Lin Qixian's special enthusiasm, and asked in a rambling manner.

I came back by myself, put incense sticks on my grandmother, and stayed here for a few days by the way.

That's a good feeling!

Then go and live in my house, I have a place in my house.

Li Qiang grabbed Lynch's hand, and Lynch only felt like he was being grabbed by a dry branch, and the pain of rubbing came from his palm.

That.. All right!

Lynch was worried that he had no place to live, so he followed Li Qiang along the river.

The two of them walked while reminiscing about some of the past events of their childhood, as if they suddenly remembered something, Lynch looked at Li Qiang and asked.

Where are you going to go out early in the morning?

Oh! It's not a big deal, Li Qiang smiled, I was thinking about going to the fairy temple early in the morning to say goodbye.

Immortal view?

Lin Qi was stunned when he heard this, in his impression, there were no Taoist temples near Xinxiang.

It was newly built a year ago, and there are still immortals living in it!

Li Qiang understood the meaning in Lynch's eyes and explained.

Immortal?

Lynch was surprised, according to the records in the "Sphere Tongjian", due to the lack of aura in the sphere, the immortals had become extinct after the meteorite impact thousands of years ago.

How can there be immortals in this small countryside?

It must be a bunch of swaggering guys who don't know where they came from.

Lynch thought to himself.

Don't you believe it?

Li Qiang stopped and glanced back at Lynch.

Lynch smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect Li Qiang to be so sensitive.

It's not that I don't believe it, it's the 21st century now, and the gods and ghosts are all feudal superstitions.

Naturally, it was impossible for Lynch to tell Li Qiang about the things in "Sphere Tongjian", so he had to borrow the standard official dialect of the Chinese Empire to explain.

Hearing this, Li Qiang seemed to be a different person, holding Lynch's hand and slowly letting go, the honest and straightforward person suddenly became cold.

You can look down on me!

But you can't slander the gods as feudal superstitions.

I know you're from the big city, and you look down on us countrymen.

But I'll bet with my life that they're really immortals.

When did I look down on you?

Lynch only felt that his head was big, and after many years, Li Qiang's personality became particularly sensitive and suspicious, and he didn't know what he had experienced.

If it weren't for the fact that he was his childhood friend, he wouldn't have bothered to tell him so much.

Since you say they are immortals, do you have any proof?

Lynch asked rhetorically.

Absolutely!

They can fly, they can make money, and they can ......

Li Qiang gushed about the deeds of the immortals.

That's right!

They can also kill ghosts!

Li Qiang suddenly remembered something and emphasized.

Kill ghosts?

What's going on here!

It's a long time to talk about this, and I'll tell you about it slowly when I get home.

Li Qiang sold a pass, and returned to his honest appearance.

But you can't slander the gods, or I won't tell you.

They're immortals!

Lynch no longer argues with Li Qiang, what he says is what it is, maybe this immortal view has a certain relationship with his mission, it is better to understand a little from Li Qiang first.

Hearing this, Li Qiang nodded with satisfaction and continued to walk forward.

It's still that familiar path, although it is potholed, but it is full of warmth, and when he was a child, he often came to Li Qiang to play along this path.

After walking for about ten minutes, a red iron gate appeared in front of them, and when they entered it, the courtyard was enclosed with adobe bricks, only more than one meter high, and any passer-by could see the courtyard clearly.

Most of the courtyards in the countryside are like this, and most of them follow the style of the ancients.

Like this kind of wall, it can only be used to prevent gentlemen, but it can't prevent villains.

There were also patches of vegetables in the courtyard, and a few chicks were chirping behind the old hen.

It still hasn't changed.

Lynch thought to himself.

Uncle and aunt are still in good health!

Lynch asked.

All passed away!

Li Qiang said while unlocking the room.

Lynch was silent.

Come in! Li Qiang opened the door, looked at Lynch who was still clubbing outside, and shouted, My father and mother have a hard life, and they have not enjoyed any blessings in their lives.

Blame me for not being able to do it.

What the hell is going on, can you tell me about it!

Li Qiang's parents took special care of Lynch when he was a child, and they were two very good people, but they didn't expect to come back, but they knew such bad news.

There was nothing to say, Lynch clearly felt the change in Li Qiang's face, poured a cup of hot water for Lynch, and then disappeared.

My dad had lung cancer, and my mother took care of my dad and took care of herself.

As he spoke, Li Qiang took out a paper-rolled cigarette from his moldy pocket, lit it, and took a sharp puff.
