The antique street in Sioux City is still so bustling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Walking in the familiar old street, passing by the place where the stall was set up before, Chu Feng stopped and was distracted.

When he first came to Sioux City, he set up a stall here to make a living, asking doctors and divination......

At that time, it was very simple to experience life. While setting up a stall, look for clues to the dragon needle.

Every morning, with a cloth stall signboard with the word "Xiangyi" written on it, and a small stool, I come to this antique street to find a clean roadside and set up a stall for a living. Or heal people's hidden diseases, or divination auspicious evil.

When it was almost noon, Jia Guqing would come over. Either with food, or by arm, the two went out shopping and eating together.

In the evening, she accompanied herself, laughing and strolling back to the place where she rented a house. Sometimes, two people, in a rented nest, cook and frolic together. Sometimes, she drives herself through the bustling night market.

The hustle and bustle of the pedestrian street, the quiet and sparsely populated delicious shops.

There are so many shared memories in this city. The footprints of the two are all over this familiar and unfamiliar corner of the city.

Nowadays, walk in familiar streets.

In a trance, all kinds of the past are vivid.

The moment he stopped, the memory of sealing the dust broke out, turbulent but caught people off guard.

The heart and mind are full of all kinds of the past, her voice and smile, and everything in the past between the two.

Turn around and look down.

Maybe it's the wind, maybe it's the dust and sand, which makes the eyes sour.

The strong indifference of pretending to have nothing to do, the hesitation of raising the foot.

In an instant, Bai Niansheng.

But in the end, you have to turn your head, don't look back, and move forward.

I brought some delicious meals, some health supplements, and Zhang Dahong's wedding card.

Come to the door, report the good news.

When he came to "Yubao Zhai", Mr. Jia was in the office of the store.

As if at that time, I set up a stall in the antique street, and occasionally, at noon, I came to visit the old man with some food, and the two laughed and talked and drank a few glasses of wine.

Seeing Chu Feng suddenly appear in the store, Old Man Jia was slightly stunned, and then laughed.

"You kid, you went back to Sioux City quietly, and you didn't make a call in advance? It's rare that you still remember me, an old man, and know that you came to see me. I happen to have a few bottles of good wine hidden in my store, and you will have to drink with me at noon today. ”

Seeing that Chu Feng was the same as in the past when he was in the antique street, he came to the store at noon and carried the food.

Old Man Jia greeted Chu Feng and walked towards the office behind him, pulling Chu Feng's arm along the way, and kept chattering.

Some beautiful clerks in Yubao Zhai suddenly saw the big boss of Old Man Jia, so happy and enthusiastic to entertain a young man who was not good-looking to go to the store, and many of the staff in the store couldn't help but look at each other, a little surprised and surprised.

"You've only been working in our store for a short time, so you don't know who that young man is. He is a legend of our antique street, and he saved the life of the old man in our store back then. Moreover, this miracle doctor was also the boyfriend of the daughter of our store back then......"

After Old Man Jia beckoned Chu Feng to walk behind and disappeared out of everyone's sight, some of the older employees of Yubao Zhai lowered their voices and told everyone the secrets in a mysterious way.

After a while, the employees in the Yubao Zhai store gathered together and bowed their heads and whispered.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and things have long been different.

Yubao Zhai, several times renovated and changed, the staff in the store also left behind, and rarely saw the old faces.

After beckoning Chu Feng to his large office and treasure appreciation room at the back of the store, he saw Chu Feng put down the food gift he was carrying, took out a big red wedding card from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

Old Man Jia, who was originally full of smiles, froze there with a smile on his face, took the wedding card with a stiff movement, and then opened it and closed it with a glance.

"Getting married? Why haven't I heard you mention it beforehand, why did you get married so suddenly? ”

Some were caught off guard, and some felt indescribable. Old Man Jia moved a little stiffly and put the gilded red wedding card in his hand on the table, and then looked up at Chu Feng and asked slowly.

"It's a bit of a rush, so I'm rushing back to personally deliver a wedding card to you, the elders and old friends. I didn't expect to get married so early, so I haven't been angry with you in advance...... The other one is about to celebrate the New Year, and I also took this opportunity to come back to meet you a year ago. After all, I am usually busy with my own work, and I rarely go back to Sioux City now, so I can't eat and drink with you from time to time like when I was in Antique Street before. ”

Holding Old Man Jia to sit down slowly, Chu Feng explained the reason softly.

"Alas...... It's going by so fast. Think about when you first arrived in Sioux City, you were still setting up a stall on our antique street. At that time, Gu Qing's child was still in the store to help me take care of the storefront business. Alas, forget it, don't talk about it, don't talk about it. What about that girl? Is it a person who lives a life? Is the hotel ready for anything? Is the new house ready, is there anything missing? I'll pick out a few jade ornaments for you to send to your new home. And the three gold jewelry you gave to the girl, are you ready? If you don't prepare, I'll prepare a set for you and take it back when you leave......"

Maybe it's because people are old, or maybe it's because they think of the past and feel a little sad.

Old Man Jia took Chu Feng's hand, kept talking, and asked about the size of Chu Feng's marriage, for fear that Chu Feng's younger generations would not understand etiquette and snub others.

Holding Old Man Jia's somewhat thin hands with both hands, Chu Feng sat beside the old man, echoing his words, nodding and softly replying.

Unconsciously, the old man in front of him is even older than he remembered in his mind.

The gray and white hair, I don't know when, silver threads are all over. The old man's back has also become more hunched, a little rickety.

Sit next to him and look out from the side. There are more age spots on the old man's face than before, and the wrinkles and furrows are deeper......

Listening to him talk about the past, I felt the old and changed time.

Looking at his face, I feel that time has passed quietly.

"Nothing more. In this life, there are times when there is no fate. Sometimes, there is no chance. Let's make people...... Accompany me for a few more drinks this afternoon. When you are old, I want you young people to accompany us more, talk more around us, and look at you more. ”

took Chu Feng's hand and asked him many things. Seeing that this child is meticulous in everything, all aspects are considered. Old Man Jia also put his mind at ease, and at the same time sighed that the young people in the past had grown up and matured unconsciously, and he, an old man, as an elder, could take care of them less and less.

One old and one young, eating, drinking slow wine, chatting about the past.

Old man Jia did not mention his granddaughter.

Chu Feng didn't open his mouth to ask how Jia Guqing was doing, and he was doing well.

Some things, some truth.

Needless to say, the heart is self-explanatory.

Life events, unsatisfactory things, nine times out of ten.

Creation makes people, there is no fate, what can I do in vain?

In the afternoon, the meal is over.

Old Man Jia was slightly drunk, and Chu Feng was drunk.

Help the old man clean up the leftovers on the table and clean them all,

A bottle of good wine from Old Man Jia was put into his arms, and Chu Feng staggered and walked drunk, leaving Yubao Zhai.

Wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk.

For people who are bent on getting drunk, even if they drink a thousand glasses of alcohol, they will get drunk more than once they drink a few glasses.

Therefore, Chu Feng was drunk and hazy, staggering, and walking on the streets with cold winds.

Walking down the street with his arms curled and a bottle of wine in his hand.

Approaching the end of the year, some stores are crowded on the streets. Some of the storefronts are deserted, with passers-by or buses whizzing by.

Or feel uncomfortable holding the wine in his arms and walking with his arms hunched, Chu Feng carried the wine bottle in his right hand, took a drunken step, and walked towards the outside of the city.

Looking at the city roads under the cold sun, I was a little dizzy. Drunken steps, of varying lengths, sometimes straight and sometimes oblique.

Some passers-by watched Chu Feng pass by and looked at his back.

Yes, I think it's a drunken man.

Yes, they feel that although this drunk man is drunk, he has a sense of wildness and uninhibition. I was drunk and mad, regardless of what the world thought of me.

Life is full of variety, and I live freely.

Chu Feng walked drunk, carrying wine, drunk eyes, watching passers-by pointing to avoid or whispering.

Laughing and shaking his head, ignoring it, indulging in it, and walking drunk and singing.

But there were many shops, and for a while, Chu Feng didn't find where he wanted to go.

Drunk, he walked out of Sioux City and gradually walked towards the ancient town outside the city.

There are many ways to get to the ancient town, not only the road of Xiaohe Stone Bridge.

Therefore, Chu Feng took another path and returned to the ancient town of Sioux City.

The bustling and noisy city has the convenience of the city.

A quaint and old town with the air of a township.

There are old shops in the ancient town, and there are old shops selling incense, candles, and paper money.

Chu Feng bought some paper money ingots, walked in the alleys of the ancient town paved with stone slabs, and walked slowly towards the west mountain outside the town.

The sun is setting in the west, and the twilight is deepening.

The mountain in the west, like a giant beast entrenched, blue-black twilight lines, outline the ups and downs, reflecting the gray sunset in the west, it shows the desolation of the mountain, the sense of twilight......

It seemed that without thinking or thinking too much, Chu Feng came to the grave of the old man of the Li family.

The burial auspicious cave when the old man was buried was secretly selected by Chu Feng for him. A long time has passed, and now, the new grave has become an old grave, and weeds are growing around the grave......

In front of the grave, there are some black slag marks of burning embers of paper money.

Chu Feng brought the wine all the way and put it on top of the small offering table brick case in front of the grave. Then the paper money ingots brought with him were gently put aside.

"Old man, I'm back in Sioux City, so I'm going to see you, burn some paper money for you, and bring you a bottle of good wine......"

Squatting on the ground in front of the grave, Chu Feng dragged away the weeds around the grave, lowered his head and whispered, talking drunk to the deceased old man Li Chu.

"I'm getting married soon, and Uncle Li and Aunt Li helped me handle the marriage. Oh yes, Uncle Li and Aunt Li added a boy, the little guy is white and fat, and it makes people like it when they look at it...... No, I seem to have told you about this last time when I came back with Uncle Li and Aunt Li to visit you...... I've drunk too much today, and I'm talking nonsense and getting drunk with you while I'm drinking. ”

"There are some things that I don't know who to talk to or to whom to talk to. In this world, apart from you, old man, only Shi Tiedan can talk to him about these things. I have amnesia, but I can still remember a lot of things and people from the past. There is a girl named Su Wan'er. She waited for me for decades, until she died, and she still thought about me and left me a letter. There is also a girl, her name is Yan Ningxuan. Someone tracked me down and found her, trying to get a clue about my whereabouts. But...... But this stupid woman would rather take poison and commit suicide than make a false accusation......"

Lowering his head and dragging the weeds around the grave, Chu Feng muttered in a low voice.

As he spoke, his voice gradually became quieter and more muffled.

As he spoke, his head hung lower.

As he spoke, he pulled the weeds with his hand, and he couldn't pull it down.

As he spoke, people gradually stopped moving.

It's like it's dead, it's like a stone sculpture, it's like there's no trace of strength......

"There is another girl, her name is Wu Xiaoqian...... Now, there is another woman who is going to marry me, Shu Shi. ”

"I don't know what kind of person I am, and if I can take care of the woman who is going to marry me now. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm guilty, I'm sorry for too many people and feelings. I don't know with whom I can talk these things and these words. It can only be drunk, come to you, talk nonsense, talk drunk. You can't talk to the living, you can only talk to the dead. It's really tiring to be alive......"

I don't know when, it's sunset.

The wind on the mountain gradually grew stronger.

The night on the mountain is as dark as ink.

On the dark night of the wilderness and lonely graves, the cold winter wind swirls and howls in the mountains, like a ghost crying wolf, which makes people feel uneasy.

Chu Feng sat in front of the grave, burning paper money ingots.

He poured some wine on the ground and saluted the dead.

He tilted his head and poured the spicy wine into his throat.

Drunk eyes, talking drunken words, burying the secrets of the heart.

The barren mountains and mountains on a winter night, the intoxicating people in front of the lonely grave, and the ghost fire of paper money ignited.

Sometimes it is bright and sometimes dark, and the cold wind is swaying.

I don't know, before the grave.

Whether it's a living person, a lonely ghost, or a walking corpse.

No one knew that Chu Feng, who was about to be overjoyed, would have such a weak and helpless side.

No one knew that in front of the lonely grave in the mountains on this cold night, there was a soul-breaker who was wandering to the end of the world and had nowhere to return in the middle of the night.

……

The weakness of drunkenness is only a momentary vent of indulgence.

After waking up, you must eventually face the reality of life and move forward all the way.

The next day, Chu Feng contacted Liu Jianglong, the boss of Sioux City, and Lu Mingqi, who has now been promoted to provincial Taiwan, and also called Qi Mingyi, who is now the director of the Health Bureau, and asked him to meet together in the best hotel in Sioux City in the evening.

Liu Jianglong is a bigwig-level figure of the underground forces in Sioux City. He and Chu Feng knew each other because of the old man of the Jia family, and then along the way, the friendship between the two was unknown to outsiders, and he was also one of Chu Feng's best friends in Sioux City now.

Lu Mingqi, who was originally the deputy director of Sioux City TV, then became attached to Chu Feng, and everyone has been around for several years today, and their friendship is not shallow.

Qi Mingyi, one of the protégés of the old man Li Chu, was the director of the Sioux City Health Bureau back then, and was entrusted by the old man Li on his deathbed to take care of Chu Feng and worry a lot about Chu Feng. Today, Qi Ming's anger has also risen, and in the past few years, Chu Feng and others have moved around a lot, and their friendship has become deeper.

Now that Chu Feng has returned to Sioux City to report good news to many old friends, he naturally wants to invite these people one by one and gather together.

Just when Chu Feng stayed in Suzhou City and reported the good news of his marriage to many old friends, the black-clothed ancient monk who was far away in the martyr's cemetery was about to complete the Yue Du ceremony. When dealing with the evil corpse, the black-clothed ancient monk knew that this matter was not trivial, so he sent someone to inform Chu Feng and asked Chu Feng to rush to the cemetery to deal with the matter.

Far away in the southwest, the black-clothed ancient monk looked to the northeast and bowed his head to chant the Buddha's name.

"Karma is boundless, trapped by love and hatred. I just don't know if you can survive this calamity, or if you will enter the magic barrier......"

Thinking of the evil corpse, the black-clothed ancient monk was worried. I am afraid that Chu Feng will rush here at that time, and he will lose control and give birth to boundless variables......
