Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Same Last Words

The train went all the way north, and within a few hours it was about to arrive in L City, and I felt more and more nostalgic as I looked at the more and more familiar street scenes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Originally, I was still stuck in the tangle of what happened to Ronan and Yuri, but the closer I got to L City, the more I was thinking about it.

The train station in L City has not changed much. As soon as I got out of the station, I hailed a taxi and went straight to your home.

My home was also in L City, but at that time, I didn't have the concept of my own home in my head.

As I stood at the door of my house with my suitcase and rang the doorbell, perhaps by now, I saw the woman whom I had affectionately called my godmother, a little haggard but still capable, and was pleasantly surprised to see me, and called me to the door again and again.

"Ono, I haven't seen you in years. Now she's a mature girl. ”

We greeted each other excitedly, and my godmother took my hand and sat down, with anxiety and anticipation in her eyes, as if she saw a life-saving straw, "Ono, it's good that you're here, go and persuade Youyou, so that she doesn't keep falling into sadness and refuses to come out, people always have to look forward." She now locks herself in her house every day, doesn't come out, doesn't eat much, and doesn't let us in. I'm really worried! His father didn't care about anything, so he let his daughter spoil him, and said that he had plans when the child grew up. You say, is there such an irresponsible father? ……”

"Godmother, don't worry too much, I'll go and persuade Youyou." I quickly interrupted my godmother's words, because as long as she turned on the "resentful father" mode, the topic would be difficult to end. Although in fact, godmothers love godfathers very much.

I persuaded my godmother to quit, went to the door by myself, knocked on the door, and before I could speak, the door opened. I originally thought that there would be a haggard tearful man inside the door, but who knew that it was actually okay, haggard was a little haggard, but it was not as fragile as in the phone before, so fragile that he washed his face with tears.

Yuyu dragged me into the room and looked at me steadily, and the hug and crying I had prepared seemed useless.

"I knew you were coming to see me, even though you didn't say anything on the phone." You grinned, but this smile was more poignant than her crying in front of me, and then, two crystal tears still rolled down and fell to the ground along the corners of her lips.

"I know you know I'm coming." I smiled and hugged her.

……

"So, how long are you going to lock yourself up? My godmother is going crazy. I teased her. Although we talk to each other when we don't see each other, when we meet, we pretend to be strong with each other. Not for disguise, but to give the other side more power.

Yuyou sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed. I quickly sat down with me.

"I was very sad, very sad, and it was hard to accept the fact that my grandfather had passed away. But lately, I've been more and more concerned about another thing, and now I'm a little bit of an eyebrow, and you're here just in time for me to talk to you, and ask you to help me think about it, and if there are any problems. ”

"Oh? What's up? I wondered.

"You know, until I was twelve, my grandfather took me. At that time he was still in L City. Later, my parents came back to L City to work, and my grandfather went back to the county seat and lived with my aunt. He passed away and was buried on the mountain at the edge of the county, which was originally an ancestral house, but it had already collapsed without people, so his grandfather is now a fallen leaf and returned to his roots. ”

I nodded.

"After I received the news that my grandfather was not good, I took a plane to rush home, and after I transferred to the county seat, my grandfather had passed away. When I arrived, my grandfather had already been placed in the middle hall, but before the cremation, everyone realized that his grandfather's mouth could not be closed. The faint voice almost choked, "No matter how many people hold it and pinch it, they can't close their mouths." Then an old man said that this is what Grandpa has not finished saying after 'leaving'. ”

I nodded again, "Yes, you told me on the phone last time." But I think it's just superstition, it's just that the body is stiff and that's why ......" I carefully avoided the word "corpse" so as not to make her more uncomfortable.

"But something strange did happen on the day of the burial." Yu Yu lowered his voice. "I was very uncomfortable during the ceremony, so I couldn't help crying all the time, but I don't know how sad people can faint, but that day, I 'saw' that I cried and fainted." Yu Yu said, his face hidden in a shadow.

"'See'?" I asked, already aware of the strangeness.

"yes, just like you think." Yu Yu glanced at me, "Out of body." ”

I couldn't help but widen my eyes, and although it wasn't appropriate, I just felt like I had met with a resonance.

"At first, I was very strange, I was obviously kneeling on the ground and crying, but it seemed that the moment the tears fell and blurred my vision, I found myself standing outside the crowd? Then I saw everyone scrambling around and wondering what was going on. Then I heard someone yelling, 'Get out of the way, get out of the way!' Give her some air! Then the man stepped away a little, and then ...... "Yuyu seemed to hesitate," and I saw 'me', and the other 'me', lying on the ground, motionless, as if unconscious. ”

"And after that?" I couldn't help but breathe a little faster.

The gloomy expression became a little strange with the memory.

"Then I saw the chief elder holding a rooster, squeezing the blood of the cockscomb and writing something on 'my' forehead, and then plucking the chicken feathers and sticking them on it. But I still stood outside the crowd and nothing changed. But out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a man standing by the tombstone. Because everyone gathered at 'me', the shadow next to the tombstone was particularly eye-catching. ”

"...... that?" I asked.

"It's my grandfather." Yu Yu looked me in the eye and said clearly.

I took a deep breath.

"I saw my grandfather standing on the earth dug up next to the grave, and then he looked at me and talked to me with a smile, but I couldn't hear a word. I tried to walk over and hear clearly, but I couldn't move, and I couldn't call him. I only saw that his mouth was repeated, as if he was only saying two words. ”

"What word?" I asked.

"West Mountain."

"Nishiyama? What do you mean? Where is that? ”

Yuyu shook her head.

"I didn't know, or even be sure what those words were. Then I saw my dad kneeling beside 'me', crying and calling my name, and then I felt like something had sucked it back, and when I opened my eyes, I was on the ground again. ”

I exhaled, "So, you've been working on this 'West Mountain' lately?" ”

"Yes." Yu Yu nodded solemnly.

"Is there a result?" I'm trying to say, "Maybe it's just a dream that you have based on your surroundings after you cry and faint, like a near-death experience, and it might be a bit inappropriate to say that, but ......"

"I also suspected that this was the case before, and when I came back from the funeral, I asked my dad if he knew about 'Xishan', and tried to tell my dad about my experience. But he also said he didn't know, and then reassured me that it was just my dream and told me not to think about it. But it was so real, you know, it wasn't like a dream at all. Yu Yu said anxiously.

"Did you tell your mom then? What did she say? I asked.

"Tell her? Are you afraid that things are not big enough? You squinted at me. Indeed, if the godmother knew, Youyou should be tied up to worship the masters of all walks of life by now.

"And then? Didn't you say you're a little eyebrow now? ”

"Hmm. Later, I turned to the almighty Internet. I tried to search for Xishan, and it turned out that there are more than N 'Xishan' all over the country, all of which are tourist attractions. So the search was stuck for a while. Yu Yu frowned, "Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly turned up a post. ”

"Posts?"

"Yes. In a small N-stream forum. The poster is called 'Turbid Wine and a Dream'. The post was posted eight years ago. Yuyu adjusted his sitting position. This man claims to have had a strange experience. said that not long ago, his uncle passed away, and the uncle regarded him as his own when he was young, so he was very sad after the uncle passed away, and even cried and fainted when the uncle was buried. Yuyu glanced up at me, and I was visibly stunned as she expected.

He said that as a big man, it should be difficult to experience crying and fainting, even if it is sad. But that time I fainted 'somehow', and it was I who 'saw' myself fainting. He also saw a crowd of people gathered around him, and saw his uncle standing in front of the grave, speaking to him. But he couldn't hear a word, only looked at the shape of his mouth, and kept repeating two more words, as if it was 'Xishan'. ”

"It's also 'West Mountain'?" I couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's right. This experience is exactly the same as mine! So I was shocked when I saw this. The focus is on the back. "You cleared your throat," he said, and after thinking about it to no avail, he didn't think about it again, but thought that he had fainted and had a dream. But a week later, he suddenly received a letter from his cousin, his uncle's son. said that when he was packing up his uncle's relics, he unexpectedly found a letter that the uncle had left to his nephew, so in order to fulfill his father's last wish, he sent it quickly. When this person opened the letter, he found that there was no letter in it, only a hand-copied text, which was copied from Liu Zongyuan's "Travels to the Banquet in the West Mountain". ”

""The Journey to the West Mountain Banquet"?"

"This person was also a second monk at the time, but there was indeed a 'West Mountain' in the text. So the person felt that there must be a connection, and the 'dream' became somewhat real. ”

"And then this man went? Liu Zongyuan's travelogue to the West Mountain Banquet, where did he come from? It seems to be ...... "I try my best to recall what I have learned, which was an article from our junior high school or high school Chinese textbooks.

"Yongzhou, Yongzhou Xishan." Said solemnly. I hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou Sima when he did it." ”

Later, the man really went to Xishan to find out. And under the post, he went upstairs to describe his itinerary. On the second floor, he said that he lived in a farmer's house at the foot of the mountain, and he would get up and go to Xishan on the second day. The updated dynamics on the third floor said that he had arrived at Xishan, and sure enough, 'lingering green and white, outside and the sky, looking at all sides as one', 'a drop must eventually return to the sea, and several people came here to realize their lives'. After that, there was no follow-up. ”

"Ah...... "I felt a little regretful, I felt the key point, but in the end I didn't have the result I expected." An ancient text? It's a bit inexplicable. Maybe it's a coincidence, it's nothing. ”

"I don't think so." Yuyu shook her head. (To be continued.) )
