After the two left, Xia Yanbo was still angry, and the hand holding the spatula tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened.

Old Man Xia sighed in his heart and said, "The dishes are ready, don't let your sister wait." ”

Xia Yanbo sighed, only then did he react, and rushed straight to the kitchen, but fortunately, the dishes in the pot were not yet paste.

Old Man Xia put away the mahjong machine, stood up and staggered a few steps, walked to the statue hanging on the wall of the hall, and muttered: "It's the Midyear Festival again, are you okay over there?"

In the portrait, there is a kind old woman, looking ahead with a smile, looking closely to Xia Yanbo.

Xia Yanbo put a lot of things in the back basket, put the back basket on his back and said to Old Man Xia: "Dad, your lunch is in the kitchen, you wait for yourself to bring it out, I will enter the mountain." ”

Old Man Xia didn't speak, but only waved his hand with his back to him.

It is said that it is a mountain, but in fact it is just a slightly curved hill, and there are a lot of vegetables planted on the side of the country road, and there is a small pond covered with lotus leaves, which does not bloom.

It was time to make lunch, there was no one in the field, Xia Yanbo's T-shirt was already soaked, he wiped his sweat and continued to walk up the mountain.

A man approached him.

The man was about thirty years old, younger than Xia Yanbo, his face was so white and transparent, his body was wrapped in black cloth, and he kept tossing and turning with a Rubik's cube in his hand.

Xia Yanbo avoided the side for a moment, and greeted the man with a smile: "Zhou Shisan, are you going home?"

Zhou Ya glanced at him, nodded lightly and turned sideways.

Xia Yanbo was not angry and continued to go up the mountain.

When you reach the top of the mountain and look down, the two sides are divided into completely different scenes.

On one side is the fields full of life, and on the other side is the deep and quiet woods.

The woods stretched to another adjacent hill, and a piece abruptly vacated in the middle of the col, revealing a corner of the eaves.

Xia Yanbo lifted the back strip on his shoulders and walked towards the col.

The mountain trail is not difficult to walk, and the trees on both sides are paved with dry branches and dead leaves.

Quiet.

But after a while, the path came to an end, and a small wooden house with a courtyard appeared in front of Xia Yanbo, the courtyard was fenced with wooden stakes, and a woman in a bohemian dress was sitting on a small bench munching on a watermelon, and when she heard the voice, the woman looked at Xia Yanbo.

Xia Yanyue raised a face that was messed up with watermelon juice, and there was still a little watermelon in her mouth, and said vaguely: "Brother, are you here?"

Beside the path, outside the courtyard, there are two graves standing side by side. Xia Yanbo put the back basket in front of the grave, and took out two insulated boxes from it and put them aside: "You can still eat after eating so many watermelons?"

Xia Yanyue got up and wiped the watermelon juice off her body and walked over, and when she saw that Xia Yanbo had already placed the sacrifices, she whistled: "It's all hard dishes!"

Xia Yanbo lifted the thermos box and handed it to her: "I just made it, there is your favorite braised beef tendon." ”

Xia Yanyue cheered and hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but was blocked back by an invisible wall.

Xia Yanbo took half a step towards her and stuffed the insulated box over.

Xia Yanyue took it with a smile, and said to Xia Yanbo as she walked to the wooden house: "Just talk to your mother and sister, I'm going to eat, you can cry at ease, I can't see it!"

After that, he turned around and stuck out his tongue at Xia Yanbo before running in.

The yard is very small, the cement floor is potholed, there is no decoration at all, the wooden house is as shabby as the concrete floor, there are only two doors, one side is the kitchen, and the other is Xia Yanyue's bedroom, study and living room.

Xia Yanbo stretched out his hand in a daze, but was stopped by something unknown.

He slapped it twice, hard, but without making a sound.

He clenched his fists in hatred and threw them into the air, again and again, but in vain.

He smiled bitterly, gave up the barrier, which could never be broken, squatted down and took out the sacrifice from his back, lit the money, paper, candles, and incense, and placed them in front of the two tombs.

The tombs were very clean, and the larger ones had a monument with the dates of birth and death, and the other one had nothing, and a small empty bag stood there.

Xia Yanbo squatted in front of the two graves, chattering with a hearty smile, thinking of what to say, reporting good news and not bad news, as if the two of them were still standing in front of him.

Xia Yanyue dragged a recliner over after eating, lay down comfortably after putting it away, closed her eyes and shook her and said, "Yesterday, Xia Yanqi came to sweep the tomb, but it saved you trouble." ”

Xia Yanbo got up and bowed to the two of them a few times, before he stood up straight and said to Xia Yanyue: "Xiao Nan is on a business trip, and said that he bought you something and brought it to you in a few days." ”

Xia Yanyue sighed indifferently: "Sister Nan contacted me, saying that Brother Lu was also very busy and didn't have time to come over." I said don't let Brother Lu come, they are policemen, Haoran is too upright!"

Xia Yanbo scolded her with a smile, and Xia Yanyue opened her eyes and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Seeing him shake his head, Xia Yanyue reluctantly stood up and brought a tray from the kitchen, and there was meat and rice in the tray, which was poured out of the thermos box brought by Xia Yanbo.

"Take it, don't say that I abuse you in front of my mother and sister!"

Xia Yanbo felt hungry at this time, and before he could think about how to eat the corner of the tray, two more stools flew out and smashed at his feet, just so that he could sit and eat.

Xia Yanbo ate two bites of food before saying, "I saw Zhou Shisan just now, he came to look for you?"

Xia Yanyue lay back on the recliner and said, "He said that there were two women with a child to find Zhou Xianpo, they wanted to find the surname Geng, and I don't know which bastard saw that the time was almost up and wanted to turn the sky upside down!"

Xia Yanbo swallowed the food in his mouth before saying, "Don't swear." ”

Xia Yanyue shrugged her shoulders and didn't speak, and only after Xia Yanbo finished eating did she say, "Did the two find home?"

Xia Yanbo nodded and moved the tray over, Xia Yanyue didn't want to get up, so she howled: "Qin Peiyu!"

A small black cat ran out of the bedroom, completely black and without any variegation.

The kitten meowed at Xia Yanyue and dragged the tray back.

I'm lazy to death!

Xia Yanyue said: "Those who can work harder." ”

Qin Peiyu didn't want to say more to her, so he turned around and pulled the tray into the kitchen.

Xia Yanyue said to Xia Yanbo: "You go back early today, you have nothing to do at night and play mahjong with your father, don't see anyone, and don't come out." ”

Xia Yanbo said: "It's dangerous?"

"I don't know, who knows!" Xia Yanyue's voice was already a little blurry, she stood up and shook her head: "I'm going to take a nap, you can find Qin Peiyu if you have something!"

Qin Peiyu flew out of the kitchen when he heard this, just in time to see her enter the door.

"Meow!"
