After Li Xiaohe settled the account, he took the drunk Chen Yujie out of the "drink" tavern.

"Woo ......" A cold wind blew, with a strong earthy smell and fine dust particles.

Subconsciously shrunk his neck, Li Xiaohe hugged Chen Yujie and turned his head to the side. When the gust of wind passed, he turned his face and came to the side of the road, waving to the passing traffic.

A taxi slowed down and pulled to the right, getting closer and closer to the sidewalk.

was about to wait for the car to stop and get into the car with Chen Yujie, but the taxi suddenly turned inside and accelerated away.

"." Scolding lightly, Li Xiaohe continued to greet passing vehicles.

Not long after, another taxi staged a similar plot.

The third taxi was even more desperate, it had already stopped, but it suddenly accelerated, and the driver made a "uh" sound.

"What's that?" After scolding, Li Xiaohe had no choice but to carry Chen Yujie and walk towards his residence.

The "tavern" is not too far from the residence, and it is all the way to this place when I came. It's just that there are more heavy loads on his shoulders, thinking that taking a taxi can be faster, save some effort, and let Chen Yujie lie down and rest earlier. But the taxi driver dislikes the "drunk" and is worried that the vomit will stain the car, Li Xiaohe understands the distress of these drivers, but is also helpless for the selfishness of these people.

Although the cold wind blows from time to time, with the help of liquor, he doesn't feel cold, but some dust inevitably blows on his face and sucks into his nostrils, making Li Xiaohe very uncomfortable.

carried Chen Yujie all the way, and felt that he had walked far away, but when he looked up, he had only walked a quarter of the way at most.

Feeling that the street lights were shaking very much, Li Xiaohe slowed down and stared at the light and shadow on the ground to verify his judgment. Seeing the shadow on the ground, Li Xiaohe was relieved, it seemed that it was not his own drink, but indeed the street lamp was shaking, otherwise why would the two walking figures be shaking? Thinking of this, Li Xiaohe stayed away from the street lamp, for fear that the street lamp would fall down. If someone recorded the current image and asked Li Xiaohe to watch it the next day, I wonder how he would feel?

His shoulders became heavier and heavier, and his legs were a little weak, Li Xiaohe tried to hail a taxi a few more times, but all his efforts were in vain, and he was blown by the wind and sand. repeatedly scolded the taxi driver for his "bad character", Li Xiaohe carried Chen Yujie and walked on the way to the destination.

"It's only two taels." Chen Yujie, who had not spoken for a long time, made a vague voice again.

Yes, how could two or two die? Li Xiaohe drew a question mark in his heart, and the image of the county magistrate flashed in his mind again, and the bits and pieces of the past came to his heart together, causing him to have a mist in his eyes.

Chen Yujie, who was on the shoulder of "two or two ......", issued sentences related to these two words from time to time.

I no longer fantasize about having a car to sit in, but I am determined to move forward all the way, and with things in my heart, it seems to be much faster. After walking for more than an hour, I finally came to the bottom of the old building.

The corridor was dark and wintery, and coughing and stomping failed to bring light. When I came during the day, I only thought that the building was quite dilapidated, and it must be because of the cheap rent, but I didn't expect that these common facilities could not work. So, Li Xiaohe turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, hugged Chen Yujie, and went upstairs step by step. This is different from the flat road, and you have to keep an eye on your feet at all times, and the two of you rub against the wall or the handrail of the stairs from time to time.

Stumbling, I finally reached the fourth floor. took out the key from the pocket of the other party's clothes, opened the door, Li Xiaohe carried Chen Yujie and entered the "401" room.

Turning on the light and putting Chen Yujie on the bed in the bedroom, Li Xiaohe let out a long sigh. Usually, if you pick up a person with a figure like Chen Yujie, you will walk twice as far as you can, and for Li Xiaohe, it is also very common. But he couldn't stand Chen Yujie's drunkenness today, he didn't exert any force at all, and completely pressed on his shoulders and back, and he himself was a little drunk.

"It's only two taels." Chen Yujie lay on his back on the bed, and muttered words all the way out of his mouth.

"Ugh." Sighing, Li Xiaohe took off Chen Yujie's leather shoes, moved the other party to the center of the bed, and walked out of the bedroom.

Got himself a cup of hot water, sat on the sofa in the living room, and Li Xiaohe went to find the TV remote control. While his hand touched the remote control, a piece of paper caught his attention. After a while, Li Xiaohe quickly picked up the paper and looked at the front and back of it, with excitement and confusion in his eyes.

After thinking about it, Li Xiaohe took the paper, quickly got up, walked quickly to the bedroom, and shouted: "Yujie, wake up, I'll ask something, wake up." ”

No matter how Li Xiaohe shouted, no matter how he shook, Chen Yujie still snored and shook the sky, at most he muttered "only two taels".

Looking at the other party's appearance, Li Xiaohe realized that he could only wait for the other party to wake up before asking.

……

At six o'clock the next morning, Li Xiaohe and Chen Yujie went to the "Gardener's Garden" community and came under the familiar building.

"My head still hurts a little." As he spoke, Chen Yujie took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call.

As soon as the door of the corridor unit opened, Sister You walked out, it seemed that she must have been paying attention upstairs, and she also saw the two of them.

Putting away his mobile phone, Chen Yujie jumped out of the car, hurriedly took the sacrificial supplies in Sister You's hand, and got into the car together.

"Where did the car come from?" Sister You asked as she got into the car.

"Yu Jie borrowed it from a friend, and his friend got up early today to deliver the car." Li Xiaohe, who was sitting in the driver's seat, spoke.

"How much alcohol have you drunk? The car smelled of alcohol. Sister You frowned slightly, "In general, wine is not a good thing, it should be done in moderation, there are too many negative examples, jade ...... It's better to drink less, the body is its own. ”

Knowing that Sister You remembered the death of the county magistrate drinking again, Li Xiaohe hurriedly changed the topic: "The wind is so strong today, it is estimated that it will not be much better during the day." Sit down. As he spoke, the car started and drove out of the community.

At six o'clock in the morning in winter, the sky is not yet bright, but the crescent moon in the sky is still on, and the street lights are certainly not extinguished. In the cold wind, there are not many vehicles and few people on the streets, and the most common ones are sanitation workers wearing orange logo jackets. Those workers and masters, sweeping and shoveling, are doing ordinary but remarkable work for the cleanliness of the whole city.

After passing through a short section of the city, the car got on the outer ring road, ran for more than ten kilometers, got off the auxiliary road, and went straight to the Dongshan cemetery.

Parking the car in the designated parking area, the three of them carried the sacrificial supplies and walked up the stairs.

It was now half past six, and the sky had seen the light, but it had not yet dawned. As far as the eye can see, there are many shadows around, especially the rows of pines and cypresses and stone monuments in front, which add a touch of weirdness to the already slightly gloomy atmosphere.

found the district where it was located, Sister You was in front, and Li and Chen followed each other and walked into the fourth row area. Everywhere you go, there are stone tablets with engraved contents, and most of them have pictures on them.

Sister You stopped, pointed to the tombstone beside her, and whispered, "It's here." ”

Squatting down, Li Xiaohe wiped the stele and the stele base, and also noticed the content on it. On the stele on the side, the four big characters of "Endless Thoughts" are engraved vertically in the middle position, the upper right side is engraved with the three characters of "Kuai Yulin" and the year of birth and death, and the lower left side is the words "Daughter Kuai Jiaojiao and Respectfully Li".

Seeing the content on the tombstone, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but feel sad. This is not only because of seeing things and thinking about people, but also because of the text and style above, which is clearly the joint burial tomb of Kuai and You, and the husband and wife separated by yin and yang have already had an agreement to "meet in the yin world".

After wiping the stele and the stele base, draped the stele with some silk flowers, and arranged the offerings brought, and then burned a pillar of incense in the incense burner.

Sister You slowly squatted down and knelt down in front of the tombstone, followed by Li Xiaohe and Chen Yujie.

Sister You chattered: "Yulin, you have been gone for seventy-four days, and I feel that my days are like years, but I also feel that time is in a hurry. Without you, I don't know how to spend this day, thanks to my uncle often on the phone, thanks to Xiaohe and Yujie taking care of me from time to time, thanks to the sensible arrogant always greeting. We've only lived together for twenty-five years, three months, and seven days, and we should have at least so many more days, but God teased people and took you away early. You have to wait for me all the time, but you can't go far, or where will I find you when I get there?" Speaking of this, Sister You whimpered.

"Eldest sister, people can't be resurrected after death." Li Xiaohe and Chen Yujie both said the same sentence.

"Yes, when a person dies, he dies." Sister You wiped away her tears, and then said, "Yulin, don't worry, for the sake of Jiaojiao and uncle, for the sake of those who care about us, I will definitely cherish the rest of my days." We have a New Year's Day holiday here, do you have it there? If it's a holiday, just take a good rest, if not, you should put your work on hold, and you can't work as hard as before. After all, it is nearly fifty people, and they are no longer young men, so don't be reckless, the work is inexhaustible.

Maozhong has been particularly cold these days, especially today with the word "more". I have prepared a few clothes for you and some money, but for the sake of environmental protection and fire prevention, I can only go to the designated place at the bottom of the slope and burn it for you in a while. The food you bring now is also what you usually like to eat, so you can eat it well. However, you can't eat too much, overeating is not good. Do you socialize a lot there? No matter how much you have, you must remember my sentence 'the body is your own', in this regard, you have suffered a big loss, or you will not take the first step. I still can't understand it, according to the amount of alcohol you drink, and you usually don't have any dangerous diseases, why just leave? You died in vain. I dreamed of you again last night, and that's what you said. At this point, Sister You let out a sad voice.

Li Xiaohe couldn't help but look at Chen Yujie, just in time to meet the other party's gaze. Sister You had this dream, she also had last night, and Chen Yujie said that he also had this dream. Why is that? The county magistrate specializes in dreams? Is this possible? So what is it?

After crying for a while, Sister You suppressed her grief, and then said: "Xiaohe made a special trip from the township, and Yujie didn't go home on vacation, so the two of them came to see you." Let them tell you about it. ”

As soon as the two words "county magistrate ......" were shouted, Li Xiaohe felt that his nasal canal was blocked, his pharynx was tight, and his eyes were blurred.
