"Have you brought what you need to bring?"

"Hmm. ”

"Towel, toothbrush?"

"Brought..."

"ID card, mobile phone power bank, and headphones!"

"Bring, bringing ....."

On a hot and quiet night, in the remote community room of Lu Xiaodao, Shen Huang kept checking Lu Xiaodao's suitcase, and according to the itinerary, he would get on the plane at noon tomorrow and embark on the journey to Beijing.

Lu Xiaodao looked at Shen Huang, who was busy before and after, with a strange expression.

He wanted to complain about how you are like my mother, but he didn't dare to say it, because at this time, Shen Huang would definitely reply with a smile, "Good son!"

"Okay!" Shen Huang locked the suitcase as if he had finished it, clapped his hands and said: "In view of the fact that you seem to be a brainless disabled person these days, I am kind enough to help you pack your things, so as not to lose the plane when you get it! ”

Lu Xiaodao scratched his head and laughed silly.

Shen Huang sighed when he saw this scene, and he didn't mind, being able to laugh proves that he is not completely stupid, and he can still be saved.

After a while, the two sat in the corridor outside the community, took a rocking chair out to enjoy the coolness, Shen Huang sat on the chair, and Lu Xiaodao obediently sat on the steps beside her.

The bright moonlight and the refreshing cool breeze hit the two of them gently.

"Are you ready to go to Beijing?" Lu Xiaodao asked.

Shen Huang closed his eyes and said softly: "Dad has rented a house near the school for three years, and when the time comes, I will go there to put my luggage first." ”

Lu Xiaodao sighed, marveling at Shen Huang's father's power, and was left to look at the moon in the sky blankly.

I remember that Shen Huang's father was a little dissatisfied with his daughter being so close to a man, and he once picked a special time to come to the school in person, but when he saw that it was Lu Xiaodao, he smiled with his eyebrows, and stood in front of Lu Xiaodao with a big hand, patted Lu Xiaodao's shoulder fiercely, and said boldly: "Boy, my daughter has troubled you to take care of her in the past three years! If she causes any trouble at school, remember to call me." ”

It is estimated that because the road trail is too harmless to humans and animals, Shen Huang's father doesn't think that his daughter will be bullied at all, just like a little milk dog, can he bully the tiger's son?

It's just that now, Lu Xiaodao couldn't help but be stunned when he thought that he would appear in Beijing tomorrow afternoon.

I remember that he has been imagining what his future will be like before, and he has thought about a lot of endings, if he can't be admitted to any pheasant university, then he can find a job in Luocheng, he can be a network administrator, and he can write novels, but the only thing he can't imagine is that now he is going to study in the same university as Shen Huang and Li Yuanyuan, who would believe this if it was put in the past?

Everything was like a dream.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that Lu Xiaodao feels so illusory, ethereal, and he doesn't dare to do superfluous things, for fear that this is a dream.

It's just that in the past two days, suddenly another voice has been hovering in Lu Xiaodao's mind, as if a tape recorder has been placed in his mind, and it has been playing on a loop.

The voice kept saying, "Lu Xiaodao, you have to be strong! You have to learn to face everything, take my share, do you hear me!"

The voice kept repeating, and the deliberate forgotten moment flashed in Lu Xiaodao's mind, the ruins underground, the ruins and broken walls, and the man grabbed his shoulders heavily, telling him to live with his share.

"Be strong!"

"Face!"

"Take my share!"

Lu Xiaodao suddenly covered his head, feeling the pain.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Huang asked suddenly, his crisp voice interrupting the voice in his head.

Lu Xiaodao's face was a little pale, and he shook his head slightly.

"Don't overthink it. Shen Huang gently touched his head, "I'm leaving tomorrow, everything will be fine." ”

Lu Xiaodao snorted.

Half an hour later, Shen Huang left, replaced by Lu Xiaodao alone, he still didn't sit on the chair, just sat quietly on the steps.

"Hey, Uncle Ghost, are you there?" Lu Xiaodao said suddenly.

The silent staircase was surprisingly quiet, and there was no movement.

It seems that as he said at the time, he has no patience to follow the trail.

Lu Xiaodao said softly: "I was just scared before, but after Tan Hao's death, I don't know why I became more and more resistant, and now it seems that I want to choose the life I want has become a wrong thing, because it seems too selfish and bears the pain of too many people, and as a result, going to Beijing is like a coward, and I need to escape from something." “

Lu Xiaodao scratched his head and complained: "But I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know what's going on! Even if I feel that something is wrong, but I'm just an ordinary person, what can I do?"

"Lu Xiaodao?" a voice rang out behind him.

Lu Xiaodao was startled, and turned his head to find that it was the middle-aged man next door.

"Why are you here?" Lu Xiaodao asked.

"It's okay, just walk around. The middle-aged uncle sat beside Lu Xiaodao, his cigarette was burning in his hands, his temples were already a little gray, and his face was full of vicissitudes, but it gave people a particularly stable and convincing feeling.

He smiled and said, "I accidentally heard your words, because I encountered something so I couldn't think about it?"

Lu Xiaodao hummed softly, and seemed to feel that the man in front of him had experienced a lot after all, so he asked, "Uncle, are you sad?"

The middle-aged uncle took a puff of cigarette and said softly: "Of course, who can blame my daughter for her accident? ”

Lu Xiaodao scratched his head, was silent for a long time, and said softly: "If your daughter is not because of the gas explosion, but because of someone else's relationship, what will happen to you?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him and said calmly: "How can there be so many ifs, but if this is the case, I will definitely find that guy, I will find out from hiding there, since I have killed my daughter, then I will pay for my life!"

Lu Xiaodao asked softly: "But if this will make your current life completely wiped out, and your daughter can't come back, is it worth it?"

The middle-aged man rubbed Lu Xiaodao's head, and seemed to feel that the guy in front of him was not enlightened, "Silly boy, this kind of thing can't be measured by whether it's worth it or not, it's just whether you are willing to face it or not, because this kind of thing must be faced as long as a man is a man." “

The middle-aged man took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "But I really hope that this is the case, so that I can have an excuse to vent, so that some things will not hurt in my heart even more as I am now." ”

Lu Xiaodao nodded and said, "It's the most uncomfortable to be a little bitter in my heart." ”

"Stinky boy, why are you still sentimental at such an age. The middle-aged man cracked his mouth.

Lu Xiaodao said, "Uncle, your mentality is very good." ”

"Well, I have already decided with my daughter-in-law that it is better to have a child in a year. The middle-aged man sighed.

Lu Xiaodao asked, "Won't you be sad?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I grew up in the countryside of Shanxi since I was a child, I had no money and no books to read, so I went to learn to drive an excavator from others, but then the construction site did not give money and ran away, and I was hungry in Shanghai for two months before I found a job, washing dishes, cleaning toilets, moving bricks, what I didn't do? Life still has to go on. ”

Lu Xiaodao lowered his head slightly, but the corners of his mouth showed a helpless smile for some reason, and he said softly: "Don't worry, uncle, you will definitely have a good life in the future, and your daughter's spirit in heaven will soon rest in peace." ”

"Pick up your auspicious words!" The uncle didn't understand Lu Xiaodao's words too much, just patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "Let's go, go to bed early." ”

There was only one person left in the silent staircase, and the moonlight sprinkled like water on the whole body of the road path.

Lu Xiaodao didn't speak, but quietly tossed a coin, which came to life in the reflection of the moonlight.

The whole fallen city was shrouded in something, like a mirage, and from the height of the sky it looked like a reflection of the depths of the sea, and in the sky of the falling city was high, the moonlight was dim, and an ancient gate as tall as a giant whale appeared at the top of the firmament.

Solemn.

High.

"Try it. The boy looked up at the sky and whispered.

On a summer night in August 2018, the door of destiny was completely opened, and it could never be closed again.
