After dinner, it was already completely dark, and the first day of junior high school cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and while washing the dishes in the kitchen, he glanced at Ye Xi who was sitting outside and asked, "Xiao Yezi, where are you going to live tonight? If you don't have a place, you can live there with me." ”

Ye Xi shook his head while holding the tea he had just made: "I want to go home and live." ”

The first year of junior high was silent after hearing this.

Ye Xi's home was actually uninhabited ten years ago, and now it can't be inhabited at all.

But he didn't stop her, just as he couldn't stop her from leaving Clearwater Town back then, it was all her choice, and he had no right to interfere.

Chu Yi: "That's whatever, I've been at home anyway, and if you knock on the door and no one answers, call me." ”

"Hmm. ”

Ye Xi was actually very moved when she heard this, she didn't expect that this childhood playmate had escaped the ruthlessness of the years and could still be good to her as always.

After sitting for a while, she said goodbye to the first year of junior high and left the bean curd shop.

The late autumn nights are darker and darker very early. There are basically no street lights on the streets of Qingshui Town, only the stars in the sky and the overflowing lights from the houses on the side of the road illuminate the road for Ye Xi.

Ye Xi was walking and thinking about his childhood.

At that time, she and Xiaodouzi lived on the same street, and the two would always play together or go to play with the big brother next door. She still clearly remembers the name of that big brother, Xu Qinghe.

He is very gentle and very good to them, except for occasionally doing some incredible things, Ye Xi and Xiaodouzi like him very much, and Ye Xi even dreamed of marrying Qinghe's brother when he grew up.

However, everything is fleeting.

She never saw him again after the earthquake that year, and like her parents, they all disappeared from her world forever.

While still immersed in the memories of the past, Ye Xi had unconsciously returned to his home.

The wooden door opened with a gentle push, accompanied by an empty "squeak" sound, and a cloud of dust and cobwebs greeted you.

The furniture in the room is still staggered, as it was when the earthquake shook it down.

She entered the room and happened to step on broken glass under her feet. It was a picture frame, and inside was a yellowed family photo.

Ye Xi picked up the photo on the ground, and by the starlight outside the house, she saw that the girl in the photo was smiling very brightly.

She gently slipped the picture into her pocket and looked around the room. The collapsed beams were still in place, slowly decaying. Vast swaths of starlight poured down from the gaping holes in the roof.

Ye Xi suddenly smiled. Sure enough, there were no people living here, because there was a ghost living in it, curled up on a shabby sofa and sleeping.

She didn't bother the little ghost who was occupying the magpie's nest, but chose to quietly quit. She stood in front of the gate and pondered for a moment, and realized that she didn't seem to have anywhere but Little Bean.

Ye Xi simply sat on the high threshold outside, looking at the starry sky, his thoughts gradually drifted back to the past, and floated to the time of the big earthquake.

……

……

That morning was the weekend, and Ye Xi felt that not sleeping until he woke up naturally was an insult to the weekend since he was a child.

She had just turned over and was about to change her position to continue her meeting with Zhou when she suddenly felt the vibration of the bed.

When he was still half-asleep, the small bed tilted, and Ye Xi fell directly to the ground.

Ye Xi sat on the ground in a daze for a while, and it wasn't until she shook again and ran out of the room in a panic: "What's the matter! Dad! Mom!"

When she ran to the living room, the scene in front of her made her instantly stunned.

The beams on the roof collapsed at some point, revealing a big hole in the roof and piles of tiles on the ground. And her parents were being crushed to the ground by this huge beam.

Dad was still bleeding from his head, and he lay on the ground and looked at Ye Xi with difficulty: "Xixi, get out quickly!

Ye Xi looked at him blankly: "What about you, Dad! Mom, why didn't she move!"

Dad endured the pain and comforted her: "It's okay, your mother just fainted." Someone will come to our rescue later, get out of here!"

Ye Xi didn't want to run out alone, and cried to push the beam: "I don't want to go out alone! I'm here to save you!"

The house continued to shake, and tiles kept falling, almost hitting Ye Xi. No matter how her father persuaded her and even started yelling at her, Ye Xi cried and refused to leave them.

At this time, Uncle Dou from the next door wanted to run over to take a look at the situation when he saw that no one from the Ye family had run out, but he saw the scene in front of him. He was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help remove the beams and pillars of the room, but even if he tried all his strength, he couldn't move the slightest.

Dad's face was already very pale: "Old Dou, hurry up and go out with Xixi, if you stay any longer, this house may collapse, and you will have to finish playing!"

Uncle Dou frowned, obviously making a big decision: "Okay, I'll take Xixi out first, and then call someone to save you!"

After Uncle Dou finished speaking, he forcibly carried Ye Xi and ran outside the house, Ye Xi kept struggling in his arms, crying heartbreakingly.

However, Ye Xi's parents still didn't wait for Uncle Dou to call someone to help. Because when they had just run out of Ye's house, a violent tremor suddenly appeared, and the entire roof collapsed along with the white wall.

Ye Xi looked at it in a daze, and his brain went blank, forgetting who he was, forgetting what the situation was now, and even forgetting to breathe.

……

……

Ye Xi crossed his arms and looked at the starry sky, it's really cold today, let's go to Xiaodouzi's house to live.

She got up and walked to Little Bean's house, hoping he hadn't slept yet.

The northern area of Qingshui Town has now been completely deserted due to the earthquake that year, leaving only the devastation after the earthquake, and there is no figure to be seen at all.

She walked alone on the deserted streets like a wandering ghost, not knowing where she came from or where she was going.

From time to time, there will be a sound of rustling around the quiet surroundings, which seems scary and eerie in this quiet environment. Ye Xi knew their existence, and he also knew that there were many pairs of eyes that were hiding in various corners at the moment to peep at him, and even wanted to ambush him.

She didn't care, and even thought that a ghost fight after dinner was a good food exercise.

Ten years ago, I was afraid of ghosts in the night, who would have thought that ten years later, I would have been used to walking through the night and ghosts.

The more you want to get it, the more you can't get it, and the more you want to escape, the more you will meet, God is so rebellious.

……

……

Mom and Dad were dug out of the rubble by rescuers, and the two were lying on the ground, their faces covered in ash. Ye Xi wiped the ashes off their faces for them mechanically, and then stayed by their side in a daze, refusing to leave no matter who persuaded him.

Her idea was simple, either to bring her parents back to life or to follow them herself.

She couldn't do the former, but the latter was easy.

While everyone around her was busy saving people and no one paid attention to her, Ye Xi came to the Qingshui River alone. Even after the baptism of the earthquake, the Qingshui River is still clear and translucent. If it weren't for the earthquake, her father would have taken her here next summer to catch fish and shrimp.

Ye Xi sat on the riverbank for a while, then got up and walked slowly towards the center of the river. The icy water gradually overflowed her waist and her breasts. Just as she was about to reach her neck, a hand suddenly appeared from behind her and lifted her out of the river.

"Children, it's a pity to commit suicide at such a young age. ”

A tall man with a scruffy beard stood behind her and looked at her with a smile, and then carried her back to the riverside without saying a word.

The uncle looked at her with a smile while twisting his trouser legs: "Let's talk about it, what is it that makes you think about it?"

Ye Xi sat on the ground, didn't care about the water droplets on the tips of his hair, and didn't wipe the water on his body, just lowered his head and said with a gloomy face: "It's nothing, it's just that my parents are dead, and I want to go with them." ”

The uncle pondered for a moment: "I see. Are you so sad that your parents are dead, do you want to die with them?"

Ye Xi raised his head and glared at him: "Of course it's sad......! Because I'm the only one left in the world. ”

After hearing this, the uncle suddenly laughed: "How is it possible, there are not only you in this world, how can you be the only one left!"

Ye Xi glanced at him hatefully: "That's not what I said!"

The uncle looked at her with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I don't really understand this kind of relationship between parents and children." Probably because I was born without parents. But I guess you'd love to bring your parents back to life, right?"

Ye Xi nodded: "I dream of it." ”

The uncle touched her head, looked at her meaningfully, and said, "I just developed a spell, I don't know how effective it is, it depends on whether you want to try it?"

"Do you have a way to bring my parents back to life?!"

"Yes, the art of resurrection. ”

Ye Xi looked at the uncle standing in front of him blankly, with a look of disbelief.

It was only at this time that Ye Xi found that this uncle looked a little strange, and there was no black pupil in one eye. But she can't care about so much now, she just wants to bring her parents back to life, at any cost.

……

……

Unconsciously, Ye Xi had returned to Xiaodouzi's bean flower shop.

"I'd better sleep with you, it's too cold outside. ”

Chu Yi smiled: "Let's just say it." Wait, I'll make your bed. ”

The first day of junior high school now lives alone on the second floor of the hotel, while Uncle and Aunt Dou live elsewhere.

Ye Xi joked to Chu Yi, who was cleaning up the bed in the room: "Do you have a girlfriend?

Hatsuichi shook his head: "I'm only thinking about cooking now, and I haven't thought about those things yet." ”

After cleaning up the room, Ye Xi went back to the room early and lay on the bed after washing.

She looked at the red mark on the back of her hand, and suddenly remembered the scene when she met Master back then.

At that time, he was walking on the street after using the forbidden body, and an old Taoist priest who was dressed sloppily suddenly grabbed him: "Little friend, I see that your Yintang is black, your eyes are blank, your lips are cracked and your tongue is scorched, and your spirit is sloppy, you must have encountered something big in the near future, you had better ...... with me."

Ye Xi glanced at him calmly, and then shouted with his backhand: "Help! Someone is going to kidnap me! Help! I don't want to be a child bride for others!"

When the people around heard it, they immediately attacked it.

Thinking of this, Ye Xi couldn't help but laugh.

At that time, the master was bent on saving her, but she treated him as a human trafficker and teased him everywhere. But if Master hadn't been there, I'm afraid I would have really gone with my parents now.

Ye Xi always remembered what the master whispered in her ear at that time:

"The art of resurrection is a forbidden technique, even if you use it, your parents won't really wake up, but the walking dead follow you, so what's the difference between it and the dead?"

"I've already sealed the ghost nest on your body, and it's okay for the time being. ”

"Since there is nothing to worry about, let's follow me to the Pure Heart Meditation Practice. ”

"I don't want you to look down on life and death, I just want you to live for yourself. ”
