It's four o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time. The sky was gloomy, and the air was filled with rain and mist thinner than silk threads, and if you didn't look tight at first glance, if you stayed at the bottom for a while, your face would be slightly wet.

I returned to the apartment, feeling inexplicably calm. Undressing, showering, blowing hair, changing clothes, all the procedures are done in one go, without the slightest bit of mud and water.

In ancient times, it was necessary to pray to heaven and burn incense and fast. But at this moment, I have the feeling that the prisoner is having the last dinner before the execution.

Don't treat yourself badly.

I went downstairs to the nearby business district, where there were many high-end restaurants, and after a circle, I couldn't get any interest. I was about to go home, when I suddenly saw a neon restaurant on the opposite side of the street, with a grill at the door.

I walked over and the chef was busy at work at the grill, mixing the juice and greeting guests in and out.

When I looked closer, I realized that this was a grilled fish restaurant.

I entered the store, and three or two customers sat in the small shop, ordering wine and fish, their faces flushed, and you pushed me to persuade me to drink. There was also a young couple in the back, pinching their watches while eating, perhaps to get back before the school closed.

Sit down and order, I hesitated in the wine column for a moment, and finally put a tick behind the rice wine. The waiter came to collect the menu, and the ballpoint pen in his hand clicked.

"Beauty," I called to her, "get another cup." ”

The grilled fish came up and the aroma was tangy. I ordered large portions, and when the plates were served, they covered the entire table. This is not a high-end restaurant, although the presentation is not so elegant, but it is very bold, not to mention how comfortable it is.

The sea bass is split from the middle, like a wing, and lifted to both sides, and the bottom is thick, and the bean skin is put in, full of a layer, and the conscience is very good.

I opened the wine. He placed the other cup on the opposite side, raised his hand to fill it, was silent for a moment, and then stood up. Stretched out his arm and touched it. The crisp sound of glass sounded, as if it was responding to me.

"To you, Crane."

****

We haven't seen each other for a long time, I don't know if you're doing now, I always feel that you're still drinking wine and basking in the sun in Jianyang Village. The lantern I made last time is still in my house, when will you come and get it?

Crane, I'm tired of living for so many years, I understand your mood a little bit now, rolling red dust, even if you leave a strong stroke, so what, after all, it will be blown away by the wind and buried by the sand, it is better to be happy and idle by yourself.

Tell me on the first day of junior high school. I have a turquoise shadow on me, that's why you have those weird reactions, right? I don't think it's all, to be honest, I once thought about what kind of person the woman who can make the great * mage crane unforgettable for a long time. At least a gentle, talented woman, not at all the same thing as me. But I don't think it's like that between us, you're more like my confidant. Or another me, everything you have done can make me unforgettable and learn more. Death for a confidant. Why do you really put it into practice?

After saying so many good things about you, it's time to criticize you. I know you're still there, I can feel it, heaven and earth, no matter where you're hiding, you're listening to me. After all, you owe me an explanation. After you say it's done, tell me everything, where have you been? When you finally pushed me out, did you get my consent, why didn't you understand.

You said that when the dead souls do not want to leave the human world, they will pass through the Yin Soul Dao and enter Jianyang Village. Are you also there, and will you become a soul too?

Don't worry, it won't be long before I will come to you with a lantern, and it's still the old rule, grilled fish, wine, and no one is missing.

Oh yes, I'm going to meet Zhong Qi soon. Or rather, things are coming to an end. After so many years of entanglement, you are finally going to face the enemy head-on, and your little apprentice and little girl are about to go into battle in person, why don't you come, you are still not a competent master.

Well, you asked me what the odds were. It's not nonsense, you're so similar to me, how can you care about the odds. Recklessly, don't you often talk about me? After all, it's up to you to blame, you said I've been with you for so long, and you haven't taught me a trick that can scare people.

Oh, that's right, he's an old demon, not a human, so he can't be bluffed.

But I have a fan bone, Xu Jingchuan's fan bone, do you understand? I think your apprentice should have told you about it. I don't know exactly how this thing works, but it's better to carry it than not to bring it. It takes five people to open the fan bone, all of them are together, no problem, even if I fail, the remaining three people can continue to live, I think about it, and they will die together. How old am I, how old is Zhongqi, we don't lose this account.

Today is the twelfth, a good day, I will do my best, come back alive, and make a big one for you when the time comes, and bring Qin Chuyi to see you.

I'm gone, Tsuru.

I raised my wine glass and poured the wine into the hot fish in front of me, and suddenly I heard a "swish" in my ears, like a crane seeing me off. I shouted to pay, slammed the bill under the cup, fastened the strap on my clothes, and stood up.

The fish barely moved, and the bottles were empty. The pair of brothers who toasted each other had already left, and the couple in the corner was also about to leave, frowning when they passed by me, and they had already sympathized with me with all kinds of feelings in their hearts.

"I'm out of love."

The girl whispered in her boyfriend's ear.

The waiter was not surprised, walked over to count the money, took a hundred yuan from the table, and prepared to go back to the bar to make change.

"Miss, wait a minute, I'll give you change." She said to me with a slip.

I waved my hand and walked out of the door.

"Hey...... Do you want to pack it? ”

****

It takes about 10 minutes to walk from here to People's Park. I wanted to take another look at Yan Bo, but the body was already in pieces and was still in the funeral home, and the procedures were not complete, so there was no way to go over. On the other side, the fake Yan Bo who was dying in the ancestral hall also died at the same time. These are all things that Xu Wei later sued me.

Now that I think about it, there are indeed many doubts about this matter. Under the underground palace, Yan Bo ******** all on the fan bones, and he didn't even ask me anything, and he was angry several times, all because I didn't open the brocade box, until I saw that the brocade box was empty, and I woke up like a dream. Why didn't I react to anything at the time? Zhong Qi's trick of moving flowers and grafting trees has been used many times, but I just don't have a long memory. (To be continued.) )
