Section 15 The Book of Life (5)

"How...... What's wrong? Ning Si subconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, her nerves tensed, and she didn't have any bottom in her heart in the face of Gu Li. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Remember what we did today?" Gu Li took a silver-gray plastic bag in a corner full of paper products as the uncle on duty said, which contained some incense and candle ingots.

"Well, get that book back, and recover the liquidated damages." Although she had been confused by Gu Li's strange actions, she had not forgotten her purpose today.

Gu Li was very satisfied with her answer: "That's right, so I have to remind you in advance, no matter what you see or hear later, you are not allowed to say anything, if you can't guarantee it, then you can choose to stay here and wait for me." “

"What do you mean, do you mean that something terrible will happen when you go up the mountain?" Gu Li's expression was unprecedentedly serious when he spoke, and Ning Siyi was so frightened by his actions that his little heart jumped a little high, and asked cautiously.

Gu Li smiled and didn't say anything, but handed the bag of sacrifices to her and motioned for her to choose.

The choice was obvious, she took it, and she had to make sure that she did what Gu Li wanted.

If she didn't answer, she stayed alone at the bottom of the mountain and waited for him.

Ning Siyi was resentful, and secretly slandered: Why is it not so good this morning, let her choose whether to go out with him, otherwise she will definitely choose to stay at home and never move her nest, in that case, she will not have to face this pile of things, what a broken choice.

"Do I have to choose?"

"It was fateful that you stood in front of me today, but I said that you are special, so I am willing to give you a chance, a chance to regret it. You should know what I mean! Gu Li shook the plastic bag in his hand, his handsome face did not have any smile, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

He didn't seem to say anything, but he made it clear.

Himself, his hometown, the strange books, and the guests who borrowed the books, each of them was shrouded in a thick haze, and although she did not know the truth, she could be sure of one thing, that is, they were all unknown, strange, beyond the scope of her understanding, and even not of this world.

In other words, she now faces an important choice.

If she does, she will probably be completely cut off from her ordinary life and become a part of that strange world.

If she doesn't, then she will always be an inconspicuous ordinary person and return to her old days.

There are two options, but there is only one answer!

Today is an ordinary day, and it is a day that subverts the past, everything came so suddenly, and when she was ignorant and at a loss, she was not psychologically prepared to face it, and she was forced to make a choice. She felt that she was not stepping on a large clearing in the courtyard, but a single-plank bridge that could collapse at any moment. She either moves forward or backwards, and the longer she hesitates, the better her chances of falling into the river and drowning.

Ning Siyi closed her eyes, took a deep breath and held it in her chest, and didn't spit it out, the feeling of suffocation made her feel as if she was in a river, and her head began to dizzy, but her thinking was clearer than ever.

Soon, she spat out the turbid air in her chest, opened her eyes, and took the plastic bag in Gu Li's hand with a firm look.

In fact, she had already chosen, and she had the answer from the moment she got on the special bus to her hometown library.

Gu Li smiled, the corners of her lips raised the warmth she was most familiar with, withdrew her empty palm, and shook her head with regret: "Do you know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you prefer to go to the tiger mountains?" ”

Obviously expected her choice, but wanted to pretend, Ning Siyi was too lazy to pay attention to his sneering, and after rewarding him with a big eye, he said angrily: "I only know that there is no turning back arrow when I open the bow, do you dare to say that there is no other attempt to drag me out today?" ”

"Tsk, how can you say it's an attempt? It's just to open the door to a new world for you while working. Gu Li didn't care about her indignation, and as he spoke, he looked away and poured his gaze on somewhere on the back mountain.

“······”

After Gu Li paid the money, the uncle on duty carried the roster and stretched his waist back to the office, and the two of them carried the sacrifices according to the uncle's instructions and bypassed the three small bungalows and came to the back mountain.

The so-called back hill is a small hill with a low altitude, where the lives lost in the new city in recent years are buried. Ten years ago, the idea of the older generation of people in G City returning to their roots is still deep-rooted, who wants to work hard for a lifetime, and finally there is a handful of ashes left, so almost all of them are buried back in the old city, so that the funeral parlor built early is almost to the point of closure. It wasn't until a few years ago that the state implemented cremation and cracked down on burials, that the business of funeral homes gradually became busy. Because of this, there were not a few tombs buried on the back mountain, and Gu Li saw Qi Yu's tomb at a glance, as well as the strong young man standing in front of Qi Yu's tombstone.

The strong guy in the uncle's mouth is estimated to be described according to the uncle's own age, he looks clearly in his early thirties, and it is really reluctant to say that he is a strong guy, and his dress is not fashionable, just an ordinary white shirt and suit pants, and the leather shoes on his feet are also very ordinary, the toe of the shoes is stained with soil, and the hair is combed upside down very neatly. Ning Siyi glanced at the other party quietly, the face of the Chinese character, the facial features are ordinary, barely Zhou Zheng, the public face that was immediately submerged in the crowd, looked horizontally and vertically, and didn't find anything outstanding or eye-catching.

Just an ordinary man.

Ning Siyi disagreed, but Gu Li took the initiative to greet the man: "Hello! ”

The man was stunned for a moment, but after realizing that Gu Li was greeting him, he naturally nodded to him and responded: "Hello! ”

"Why are you here on such a hot day?" Gu Li stood just one step away from the man, facing Qi Yu's tombstone, but the words were said to the man.

Gu Li's words sounded a little awkward, Ning Siyi always felt that something was wrong, Gu Li's tone was very familiar, wasn't it the first time these two people met? But she promised Gu Li not to speak out, if she violated the rules, she would definitely have no good fruit to eat, and she had to hold back if she had doubts.

The man didn't sense anything wrong with Gu Li's tone.

"Alas······" He looked at the marble tombstone with a sad expression, pursed his lips and sighed, "I came here to see Teacher Qi, just to do my best." A few years ago, I got the help of Mr. Qi to turn over, if it wasn't for Mr. Qi, my small factory would have been gone a long time ago, and maybe even eating would have been a problem. It's a pity that good people don't live long! As he spoke, the corners of his eyes turned red.

Gu Li took the sacrifice in Ning Siyi's hand and threw it in front of the tombstone at will, without the slightest intention of paying tribute to the owner of the tombstone. He had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other playing with a plastic lighter, which had just been taken out of a plastic bag. The posture is very casual, as if he is not going to the grave but on an outing in the mountains, and the people standing opposite are not the relatives and friends of the deceased, but passers-by.

The man didn't care about Gu Li's behavior, and wiped the corners of his eyes to change the topic: "You are also here to pay tribute to Teacher Qi, seeing that the two of you are so young, they should be the juniors of the Qi family." “

Gu Li shook his head and denied: "No! We're here to collect our debts. ”

Ning Siyi couldn't help but roll his eyes, look at what he said, it's better to be tactful, didn't you see that the kind face instantly stiffened, as ugly as swallowing a fly.

"Hehehe, young people love to joke, but joking also has to be divided into occasions, accidentally offending ······ cough ······ That's not good. ”

The man's face was not very natural, and Ning Siyi noticed that he moved a small step next door, widening the distance between him and Gu Li, his eyes shrank, obviously he was quite taboo about Gu Li. It's not difficult to understand how ordinary people can do it to the grave with people, oh no! Collecting debts from the dead?

Isn't this a neurosis?

"Haha, interesting!" Gu Li threw the lighter in his hand into the air and caught it, repeating these two actions constantly, but his gaze never left the man's face, "There are many guests in the library, and there are many difficult ones, pits, blinds, stealing, robbing, and everything, but someone as creative as you is definitely the first, this play is really wonderful, and it is not in vain that I let you go again and again." “

"What library, what acting, I can't understand what you say! What kind of messy things to get up early in the morning, today's young people are getting worse and worse as they live, and they are all slandered to the cemetery, and they are not afraid of retribution?!! The man changed his previous gentle attitude, and stared at Gu Li's three words.

Gu Li maintained his usual smile, polite and polite, without the slightest sense of seriousness, his expression was naturally as if he was discussing the weather with a friend, but Ning Si dared to pack a ticket, Gu Li was definitely not joking.

"That's pretty much it, the encore is too much." Gu Li raised his chin, his lips opened slightly, and then spit out a few words: "Mr. Qi Yu!" “

What the!!

Qi Yu?

Ning Siyi was completely stunned, and subconsciously covered his mouth tightly.

Who is he talking to?

As a brain supplementer, Ning Siyi's brain hole can break through the sky, but she can't understand the situation in front of her at all, what is this?

Isn't Qi Yu lying in the grave bag, why does Gu Li call that man Qi Yu?

She stared at Gu Li with wide eyes, and then stared at the man tightly, not daring to blink her eyes, for fear of missing the slightest clue.

The man's body shook almost imperceptibly, and he involuntarily straightened his waist, his brows were tightly locked, but his face was as usual, and he glanced at Gu Li with a sigh: "Young man, dare to love your eyes are playful?" I'm not Qi Yu, at best I'm a fan of Qi Yu, he's Qi Yu! He pointed to the marble tombstone in front of the two, and the white stone slab was impressively engraved with several large vermilion characters: The Tomb of the Dead Husband Qi Yu.

"Forget about the wrong person, you won't even be able to recognize all the words."

"Lao Tzu is still a living person, the great name Chen Donglai!" He angrily reported his name, deeply dissatisfied with Gu Li's mistaken belief that he was Qi Yu.
