I took out my mobile phone and showed that it was more than 2 o'clock at night, and there was basically no one on the road. It's the end of autumn, the breeze is blowing, and the coolness is extraordinarily cold. While thinking wildly, he paced back to the hotel along the same road.

I didn't wash either, and I lay down in my clothes. I thought it was another sleepless night. Who knew that he slept soundly in such a cranky thought, and he didn't even have a dream.

The next day he was woken up by a knock on the door. Barefoot went over and opened the door, and Er Guodong first stretched out his head through the crack in the door to look at it, and then came in. "Where did you go last night, I came back in the middle of the night and you haven't come back yet. ”

"Well, I met a junior high school classmate, Tian Xiaofang, do you have any impressions?" Ren Kai said while urinating in the bathroom.

"I don't know, is it because you don't have an idea or a female classmate doesn't have an idea?" Er Guodong reclined, leaning on the head of the bed and pressing on the TV.

"I thought your brother told you. Ren Kai brushed his teeth while struggling.

"Damn, I remembered. My brother once shouted a name in a dream. Woke me up. That's the name. However, he refused to admit it. Er Guodong laughed.

"Hmm," Ren Kai took out his phone, and there were more than a dozen missed calls. I watched them one by one. There are a few from home, and the others have never been seen. After the phone vibrates, the call often cannot be answered. I called home back, nothing happened, a friend's father died, and I asked him how to return the gift.

The two of them had breakfast, packed their luggage, and set off in a hurry. Before leaving, I called Widow Tian, but I didn't answer. Looking at the busy people outside the window and thinking about yourself, I can't be happy.

Until they got on the highway, neither of them spoke much, thinking about their own thoughts.

The "buzz" phone vibrated and Widow Tian came back. "Xiaofang, let's go, I'll tell you. Nothing else. Okay, okay, I'm driving, you're busy with yours. There is time to connect". The woman's interest is undiminished, and she can hear the surging enthusiasm on the phone from afar, Ren Kai has no choice but to talk nonsense, he is really afraid of this talker.

"There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door" Er Guodong muttered in a strange way, this sentence was not easy to respond, so he pretended not to hear.

The "buzz" phone vibrated for a moment, then calmed down again. Ren Kai casually picked it up and glanced at it, and sat up with a "Teng" face, his face pale, and his eyes stared at the phone.

"What's the matter? What the hell is it in broad daylight?" Er Guodong was startled and hurriedly parked the car on the side of the road.

"No, nothing" Ren Kai reluctantly calmed down, didn't respond to Er Guodong's probing eyes, and looked out of the car window a little dejectedly, really hell. The owner of the phone number is Ma Jie, Ren Kai's best friend in the first half of his life, but he died in a car accident two years ago.

A person who is no longer in this world may visit his relatives and friends in some form, but he will never use his mobile phone so directly and almost terrifyingly. He thought about it for a moment and dialed the phone back, and the voice prompt was turned off. Who's using the number? Is it a prank or is it meaningful? It's getting more and more complicated.

"Hehe, I suddenly remembered something. Forget it, let's go. How long will it take to get to T Water?" Ren Kaiqiang smiled to himself, turned his head and nodded at Er Guodong.

Over the years, I have been so cautious that I didn't dare to dream for too long, for fear that I would be immersed in it and would not wake up. In the face of his wife, he often feels guilty, Shaohua is no more, Yiren Huafa was born early, and he has become more and more virtuous and virtuous after raising a pair of children for himself. But I have been involved in many powerful entanglements along the way, and there are more and more causes and effects entangled in my body, and now it is no longer realistic to want to start over, so I can only continue to move forward. I only hope that my family can be preserved, and I don't dare to ask for it if I can get out of it.

The car returned to the road, and Er Guodong was worried about Ren Kai, but there was no way. I walked the path I chose, I couldn't stand up straight, I could only kneel.

Ren Kai looked at the villages, farmlands, cattle and sheep flashing on the side of the road with a heavy heart. Now that you have entered the minefield, you can't retreat, you can only move forward. God pity may give a way to live. If things are not harmonious, each has a destiny.

Walking on the highway at high speed under T water, looking at the desolate scenery on both sides, he asked Er Guodong with some doubts, "This is T water? ”

Er Guodong looked at Ren Kai, who was relieved, a little happy, and said with a smile, "This is not an urban area, and I don't know, how the high-speed rail station was built so far." The water city is very prosperous, but it's too late to go today. ”

Turning around and walking to a wide road, looking from afar, "T Shuinan Station". I looked at my watch, and it was already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Leave the car in the parking lot and find a small shop. The two asked for a plate of beef and two bowls of noodles, and bowed their heads to eat.

"Buzz", Ren Kai looked at the phone while eating, and connected, "We have arrived at T water, well, have Grandma Liu and you converged." Okay, meet and talk. "It's Chai Guofeng's call, and they'll be there in another hour.

"My brother?" Er Guodong looked at Ren Kai.

"Well, you can rest for a while after eating. I guess you'll be on it today. "Ren Kai eats slowly.

When we met, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon. shook hands with Lao Xue first, and then the three buddies hugged each other and patted the other two hard. At that moment, Ren Kai suddenly returned to his student days, when he was simple and happy.

Ren Kai, Liu Xiaojun, and Xue Jianrong sat in the back seat. Xiao Chai sat in the co-pilot. He occupies too much space, not like he came from the Great H Sea, but like a local, strong and dark.

"When was the last time the three of us met?" Xiao Chai turned his head to look at the two of them.

"If you don't count the time you drank too much and went crazy last year, it would have been five years ago. "Ren Kai likes to raise the bar with Xiao Chai. On New Year's Day last year, the three of them had a meal in a hurry, and before they could chat, Xiao Chai had already drunk high and began to cry bitterly. After eating a meal for twenty minutes, I didn't even have the dishes, and it was gone.

Later, Ren Kai inquired from the side that Xiao Chai's first love in college was exposed due to an extramarital affair, and he couldn't face the reality and chose to commit suicide by cutting his wrists. Before leaving, he may have called Xiao Chai. Xiao Chai did not answer the call out of general consideration. Half an hour before the three of us gathered, someone with good deeds poked things to Xiao Chai. Xiao Chai exaggerated his self-blame.

"Haha, last year didn't count. You said you had a treat and fooled us with fake wine. I drank this amount of wine and poured it out, and I didn't believe it when I told others. Xiao Chai turned his face to Ren Kai and shouted with a grin.

"Hehe" Ren Kai didn't argue, and squinted at him.

"Mr. Ren, you and Liu Lao also drink the same amount as Director Chai?" said Xue Jianrong, a native of H Hai, to Ren Kai and Liu Xiaojun. He may not have heard clearly that the "Grandma Liu" in their mouths was not Liu Lao. However, he should know that Ren Kai is not "total".

Ren Kai didn't know why he was "Mr. Ren", and he didn't understand why Xiao Chai was "Chai Dao", so he didn't dare to say it in detail, and dealt with a few vague words. I wondered where Xiao Chai pressed himself to do "total".

Ren Kai also forgot about his troubles for the time being, and followed everyone all the way, and it was very lively. At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Chai became addicted to cigarettes and turned into the service area. The others wandered around, Xiao Chai lit a cigarette and came to Ren Kai, stared at him for a while and said, "Why do you think you are so preoccupied that you have made the girl's belly bigger again?"

"Hehe, it's a bit troublesome, but it's still under control" Ren Kai didn't answer this kind joke, turned his head to look at the dark clouds in the sky, "It's really dark fast." ”

"Ren Kai, look at that" Erguodong stood far away and shouted at Ren Kai.

Ren Kai squinted his eyes, turned his head to look in the direction he pointed, and a wrangler convoy roared past, which was the same team he had encountered. The convoy did not stop, and looking at the direction of walking, it was estimated that the destination was likely to be close. After thinking about that encounter, I saw the sign of the service area "Mandarin Duck Service Area".

When the car arrived in Xhe County, G South Autonomous Prefecture, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening. The hotel was booked through Ctrip a month ago, received the room card, and went into the room to see. The conditions were much better than expected. After cleaning up, everyone is ready to eat.

Outside the hotel, only one street in front of the door was brightly lit, and the rest of the city was hidden in the night and quietly watched these outsiders. Sichuan cuisine and halal are the main dishes here. I went in with the most lively store and asked for a private room. It is said that it is a private room, but it is actually a small room separated by a curtain. Let's have a special yak copper hot pot, a few vegetarian dishes, a few bowls of white rice, and two bottles of beer.

Ren Kai was afraid of high reactions, so he didn't drink. watched Xiao Chai and Lao Xue eat and drink one bottle at a time. I don't know what's going on, the more he is in this kind of crowded place, the more he feels lonely from the heart, this loneliness firmly encircles himself inside, and he can't easily escape.

There's still some time to finish eating. It is very close to the L Bulen Temple, and Xiao Chai took everyone to stroll there. Perhaps for fear of being contaminated with red dust, the temple gate was locked and reincarnation was kept out, so that the wandering people in the world could not be liberated after suffering hardships.

Back at the hotel, Ren Kai and Grandma Liu have a room, Xiao Chai brothers have a room, and Lao Xue has a room. Lying down for a long time and not falling asleep, listening to Grandma Liu's snoring, he slowly got dressed and walked out of the hotel. The night of the X River in late autumn is still a little cold, and a jacket and the inner tank inside especially feel cold. Walking on the silent road, recalling some things, the mood is a little low.

Just when the side of the road was thinking about things to the stars in the sky, he was tapped on the shoulder. Ren Kai hit a spirit, and scurried forward as usual before turning back.

Behind her, the elf-like girl tilted her head and smiled in the starlight, her eyebrows and eyes crooked, just like old friends who had met for many years. The moment he saw her, Ren Kai suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself, and deliberately avoided the girl's gaze. A few years later, the girl put her hand on Ren Kai's heart and asked him if he was tempted at that moment. He pondered for a long time, but was silent.

"Old man," the girl smiled like a flower, and said with a coquettish smile, "I see you from afar, going around and around, sneaky, and say, what is bad to hold back." ”

"Li Yanan, why are you here? Ren Kai looked at the girl, and then looked behind her, a little suspicious.

"Hmph, I know you are worried about Meimei, she is a little uncomfortable and didn't come out. The girl was a little coquettish, and suddenly felt that the two didn't seem to be so familiar, so she thought of being reserved, nodded at Ren Kai, turned her head and left.

Ren Kai was a little funny, and looked around again, the night was like water, and the shadows were pupils. Said to the girl, "Do you live far away, I'll send you back".

The girl turned her head, looked around warily, did not speak, and walked forward as fast as she could. Ren Kai followed slowly and walked for more than ten minutes. Seeing the girl waiting for him in front of a hotel, he stopped, shook his hand, and turned away without waiting for a response.

The girl hesitated, stamped her foot, did not move, and watched the man in the distance go further away until she was out of sight.

"Yanan, why didn't you tell me when you came out, and you didn't take your mobile phone, let me worry so much, what are you standing to see, go back to the room!" Zhao Meimei wrapped it tightly and grabbed Li Yanan's hand and shook it, and then followed Li Yanan's gaze, as if she saw a figure, and she was not sure, and asked with some hesitation, "Who is that?"

"No one, let's go, are you feeling better?" Li Yanan gently rubbed his hot cheeks through the night, and pulled Zhao Meimei back to the hotel quickly.

The River X isn't quiet in the early morning, and square dancing makes this otherwise somewhat mysterious place approachable. Looking at the blooming Gesang flowers, Ren Kai was a little stupid.

Built on the side of the mountain, there may have been showers at night, and the smooth stone paved road is a little wet and sometimes muddy. Outside the long prayer wheel corridor, there were already believers kowtowing their heads and muttering prayers. They wore handboards, aprons, and knee pads. Put your hands together, stay on the top of your head, in front of your eyes, and in front of your chest, lean down and touch the ground with your whole body, slowly knock your head on the ground, put your hands together at the back of your head, and get up with your hands on the ground, and the cycle repeats.

"Do you think they're ridiculous?" Li Yanan appeared behind Ren Kai out of nowhere, looking at the believers who kowtowed.

"There should be reverence. Ren Kai didn't look back, picked up his mobile phone and patted it on his face, and said lightly, "Do you remember what you said to you when we first met?"

"The old house is on fire, aren't you afraid?" Li Yanan took the mobile phone from Ren Kai's face and found WeChat and added friends.

"Afraid, how not afraid. Ren Kai still didn't look back, his eyes followed the believers, and he said in a lonely tone, "I have known since I was a child that people are different from each other. But what can be?"

"What a mess, looking forward to the possibility, such a strange name" Li Yanan stuffed the mobile phone into Ren Kai's hand, walked in front of him and tilted his head to look at him.

"Do you play chess?" Ren Kai didn't respond to her question, raised his eyes to look at a few companions in the distance who were turning prayer wheels, and glanced at Li Yanan again.

"I know a little bit about chess and Go, my grandfather likes it, what's the matter, do you use this to flirt with girls?" the girl glanced at Ren Kai disapprovingly.

"I won't get down. Ren Kai smiled and said to the girl, "The chess pieces are all ready to be sacrificed for their own kings, but some kings are on the chessboard, and some kings are outside the game." What about you?"

"Oh, what do you say?" the girl looked at the old man with a smile.

"Ahem" Ren Kai began to cough violently, quickly took out a bottle of medicine from his jacket pocket, opened it and took out one and swallowed it in his mouth. After calming down for a while, he took out the hot water from his backpack and took a few sips slowly.

"Oxycontin?" Li Yanan's face changed greatly, he directly snatched the medicine bottle over, unscrewed it and looked at it, pulled Ren Kai's arm and glared at him and asked, "Then you... Isn't it?"

"Yes" Ren Kai paused for a moment, took a sip of water and looked at the girl indifferently.

"Why is this happening, it's late? Does your wife know?" the girl stared at the man, a little incoherent.

The man didn't say anything, just patted the girl on the shoulder with his hand and shook his head.

The kind girl looked at the old man in front of her, with messy hair and embarrassing stubble, with a depressed face, only her eyes were still sharp. I imagined that maybe in a few months, this man would be reduced to green smoke and drift away without a trace. Her nose was a little sour, and when she thought of her grandfather who had just passed away like this, she couldn't help but hug the man's shoulders and lean her head up.

"Huh?" Ren Kai was stunned and pushed the girl with his other hand holding the water cup.

The girl suddenly came to her senses, and quickly straightened up, her face flushed, tears still swirling in her eyes, and she was at a loss.

At this time, a middle-aged man came up from behind, looking more mature than Ren Kai, slowly walked to the two of them and stood still, first looked at Ren Kai, then looked at the girl and asked, "What happened?"

Ren Kai smiled and looked at the middle-aged man, put the water cup between his hands, and motioned to Er Guodong who was walking towards him in the distance. The girl looked at the middle-aged man uneasily, "Master... It's okay. It has nothing to do with him, it's me...", and then shook the medicine bottle in his hand towards the man, and looked at Ren Kai with some apprehension.

The middle-aged man looked at the medicine bottle, nodded with some confusion, and stretched out his hand to Ren Kai and said politely, "Tong Jingsheng, hello."

Ren Kai hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and shook it, but did not speak.

"Let's go. Tong Jingsheng said quietly to Li Yanan.

Li Yanan looked at Ren Kai and reluctantly delivered the medicine to him. He patted the man's arm, made a phone call, and left first. When he passed by Er Guodong, he stuck out his tongue at him.

Tong Jingsheng nodded at Ren Kai and followed.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Ren Kai shook his head with a smile, shook his hand at Er Guodong, picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Brother Niu, help me check the ...... of a few people." I hung up the phone, thought about it, dialed another call, and it was still turned off.

Er Guodong walked over slowly, his eyes wandered between the two people and Ren Kai in the distance, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it.

Looking at the grandmother in a Tibetan robe wandering in the distance at the door of the temple, holding a prayer wheel, her expression was serene, and her steps were calm. Ren Kai was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the small hill opposite the L Buleng Temple.

There are already a lot of first-comers on the slope, most of them are photographers who choose the scene. Standing here and looking at the Lbuleng Temple, red, yellow, and white are the colors of the temple and monk's house walls, black is the outline of the windows, and the rest of the colors are reserved for believers and foreign visitors. The sun shines through the clouds, swaying ethereally, like a fairyland.

Xiao Chai walked down the slope to Ren Kai, looked at him for a while, turned to look at the L Buleng Temple in the clouds, and said softly, "Things are not as simple as you say, right?"

Ren Kai lowered his head and was silent for a while, then looked up at Xiao Chai's eyes and said, "I can't say, and you don't ask." Choose to pass at this time, there will be a lot of uncomfortable people. Because of fate, some people ride the wind and rise, and some people fall off the altar. However, the center is not here, and I am just a passerby. If you believe in Buddhism, don't touch this cause and effect. Someone with a heart pointed us out a way, and we can't retreat. Don't worry, this rain cloud is over and you'll all be fine soon. He looked at Er Guodong, who had been listening to him for a long time, patted Xiaochai's shoulder, and walked downhill cautiously.

"What about you?" Xiao Chai's eyes fell on Ren Kai, who was slowly rubbing down the slope, and said to himself with a wry smile in a low voice.
