The woodcut sign of "One Less Knife" was replaced with a shiny blister lamp. On the side of the store, a new flower pillar hair salon lamp has been added, and the red, white and blue colors are constantly rotating, symbolizing the rolling wealth and rising fortune.

Looking in from the door, several people were busy decorating, and one of them kept gesturing, as if he was directing.

Yang Qianye recognized that it was one of Shangguan Yu's apprentices.

When she walked to the door, the people didn't notice anyone visiting because of the sound of the electric drill and chainsaw, and they were still doing their work. Taking advantage of the shutdown of the machine, she knocked on the glass door a little harder, and Shangguan Yu's apprentice turned his head.

"Who are you looking for, is there something wrong?"

"Hello, excuse me." She took two steps forward, pursed her lips, and introduced herself after a moment's hesitation, "I've done my hair here, and I remember your ......."

"You?" The man looked her down from top to bottom, "I'm not impressed. ”

"You're Master Shangguan's apprentice, right?"

"yes, what's wrong."

"What do you call it?"

"My surname is Liu, Liu Quanyou, and I am the master's eldest apprentice."

"Master Liu......" She nodded respectfully again, her eyes full of condolences, "Master Shangguan has helped me, and I am very sad to hear that he has passed away." I came today to ask where he is buried, and I want to go and pay my respects. ”

"Qinglonggang Yunshan Cemetery, Area C 0124." Liu Quanyou put down a sentence and prepared to turn around.

"Wait."

"What else?"

"Can you tell me why he ......?"

Facing those flickering eyes full of doubts, Liu Quanyou seemed a little evasive, and before she finished speaking, he took over the words: "Master is terminally ill and unbearable, and he has long had the idea of seeking relief, not impulsively. ”

This made Chiba feel strange, and he obviously asked why the other party guessed before he could say it.

So she took advantage of the situation to continue the problem.

"It's not impulsive, then there must have been plans for this, don't you see anything when you are together every day?"

Liu Quan impatiently patted the ash on his trousers and put on an unfriendly attitude. "Who are you, what are you doing with these?" The tone also began to get bad.

"I ......" Chiba quickly searched his mind for words that could properly describe his relationship with Shangguan Yu, "I am a junior who is taken care of by him, and I respect him like a teacher." ”

"Then go to the cemetery to burn incense and kowtow, I'm busy here. People are dead, what's the use of saying this? Liu Quanyou picked up the tool again and ignored it.

Helpless, Chiba had no choice but to leave, and as soon as he left the store, he saw another apprentice of Shangguan Yu running to the store with his pockets in a hurry, and he could see that the workers inside were waiting for the things in his hand.

"Hello?" She grabbed the man.

"Oh, it's you." The apprentice clearly had an impression of her.

"Well, my surname is Yang, I came here to overdo it, and I know Master Shangguan."

"Oh."

"What do you call it?"

"Wu Xi."

She looked inside the store and pulled Wu Xi aside.

Wu Xi asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Master Shangguan left suddenly, I want to ask what the hell is going on?"

"Master has been living in the shadow of the loss of his beloved daughter, and it is purely hard to continue to operate for a few years without a knife, and he unfortunately suffered from a terminal illness before, and his heart is like ashes, so he did stupid things."

"Has there been anything unusual about him lately?"

"Master is nesting on the second floor at any time and rarely comes down." Wu Xi shook his head, his eyes moistened, "If he makes up his mind, he won't tell us as apprentices." ”

"Something to make up your mind?"

Wu Xi knew that he was leaking, so he sucked his nose and covered it up: "I mean suicide." ”

"Do you think he already has this heart, and even has some preparations?"

"Yes, I've been mentally tortured for seven years, and now I'm dying soon, I'm afraid no one can think about it."

"You don't notice anything wrong?"

Wu Xi was a little panicked. "We don't live in the store, we go back and forth after work, and he is alone at night, how can we pay attention."

"But why did he choose to do stupid things during business hours, instead of when he was alone at night?"

Wu Xi was obviously asked, and began to stammer: "This is so strange, does a person still have to choose time if he wants to die?" He spends us all away, perhaps thinking ...... I think the most inopportune time is the best time. ”

Chiba looked at him with distrust.

"Miss, I'm sad that Master is gone, but his old man has gone to another world and can't come back. In the past two days, many old customers and friends like you have come to ask, but that's all we know, sorry. ”

"I'm sorry, I just think it happened suddenly, and it's hard to accept as his friend. He's a good guy, and it's a shame that he's gone. He hasn't come out for seven years......"

As soon as the words came out, Chiba blamed herself. Seventeen years have passed since the incident of her mother Mo Lianzhi, and she still can't let go, let alone Shangguan Yu, who lost her daughter in her twilight years.

"You can get out. In the past seven years, don't look at what Master should do when he still opens a store to welcome customers, but I know that he has been holding back in his heart, and his mind is not on himself at all. stayed up all night and stayed up until dawn in front of his daughter's photos, which broke his body. Seven years may be a hurdle, he is also old, and it is normal for him to drill the tip of the horns. ”

"Wu Xi, why haven't you come in yet, what's going on?" Liu Quanyou suddenly stood outside the store and shouted, his face was very ugly.

"Here comes Senior Brother." Wu Xi didn't have time to say hello, so he ran into the store with his pocket.

Liu Quanyou glared angrily at Chiba and turned around to close the door.

Although he only heard so much from the mouths of his apprentices, he was a little regretful, thinking that he would know where Shangguan Yu was buried, Chiba decided to go over and take a look.

I checked the map and called a car, followed the Lujiang River all the way to the east, and then crossed the rope bridge through the Lushan Tunnel, and then went to Qinglonggang Panshan Road. Yunshan Cemetery is located on the top of the hill and is full of red mountains.

Entering Area C and following the number in front of the tombstone, she quickly found the location of Shangguan Yu's burial. The stele is of the same size, and the left and right sides are the same. Bluestone elegant rhyme, the inscription depicts gold, and the remade photo is pasted on the head of the stele, seeing things and thinking about people, and the sound is still there.

The tombstone is engraved with these lines: "The first teacher Derun, the wind lasts forever, and the tomb of the teacher Shangguan Yu is respected." ”

Placing Bai Ju on the tomb board, she bowed deeply three times to the tombstone of Shangguan Yu.

"Master Shangguan, I'm Yang Qianye, I'm coming to see you." She said in a humble and wistful tone, "I was really surprised that you left before I could thank you properly." We met in Pingshui, and it was also very fateful, I thought I could come over to see you from time to time, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late. I'm amazed at how suddenly you made such a decisive decision without saying hello to anyone. Probably hearing the story behind it, I respect your choice, if that's a better world, I hope you've arrived. In fact, I also have a past that I can't let go, and I feel uncomfortable but no one can complain. I was going to tell you slowly, because I believe you will be able to help me resolve it, but I didn't expect that you would be the same person who has fallen into the world, so you will take the first step. There are many demons in this world, they are cruel and tyrannical, and they kill people without blinking. But what they fear most is love, the love of parents and children, the love of husbands and wives, and the love between people. They harm people everywhere, thinking that this will break love, but they are too stupid to know that the more ruthless they destroy, the more firmly rooted and indestructible love is in people's hearts. I believe you are walking with love, go to your daughter, she needs your love. Come on, Master Shangguan, you will meet Sister Luoluo. ”

After saying this, she put the incense in the incense wax trough in front of the tomb slab, and she bowed her head in silence until the three incense sticks were burned out, and then she bowed and left.

In front of Shangguan Yu's tombstone is a path that only allows one person to pass, separated by about ten tombstones, and I don't know when there are family members who come to pay tribute to their relatives. They are burning paper money, kneeling, and cutting the road.

Chiba turned around in a playful direction, ready to detour from the other end. Just a few meters past Shangguan Yu's tomb, a silk scarf fell among the weeds, but he didn't notice it just now. She picked up the silk scarf and walked out of the park to find a trash can to throw away. At that moment, her eyes fell on the silk scarf, and she couldn't help frowning.

The silk scarf seems to have been seen somewhere, but I can't remember it, maybe it's a popular style, and it looks familiar when more people wear it.

She sniffed it again, and a familiar smell crept into her nostrils.

Although the cemetery is a place of gloom, the blue sky and white day are not so creepy that she is cold, her whole body is cold as if she has fallen into an ice cellar, her hands are constantly shaking, and her heart is hard and piercing.

I remember that when I first arrived in Lucheng and lived in the cherry blossom apartment, Grandma Wang, who met at a fried chicken restaurant one evening in early summer, was also wearing this silk scarf, and the faint smell of lavender, which could be smelled almost every time I got in close contact......

"Is that her? What is she here for? A thousand question marks welled up in her mind.

The early autumn sunset is sprinkled with gold powder on the exterior of the cherry blossom apartment, and it is as beautiful as a movie screen. Chiba didn't have the heart to enjoy the view, so he hurried into the apartment and hurried upstairs, stepped out of the elevator, and knocked on the door of room 1102 almost without thinking.

Grandma Wang looked at it with a cat's eye on it, and deliberately asked, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Grandma Wang." She also feigned composure.

There was silence, and there was some movement in the room, followed by the sound of a cautious door opening.

Grandma Wang poked her head out, held the door tightly with one hand, and squeezed her body into the crack of the door, covering all the scenes in the house.

"Looking for me?" Grandma Wang asked with a smile.

"This ...... Is it yours? ”

Chiba raised her hand and shook the silk scarf, and Grandma Wang subconsciously touched her neck, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

"I remember you wore it." Chiba said again, giving a smile that made the other person let his guard down.

Grandma Wang looked back into the room and tightened the door.

"Looks like it's mine...... Where's the loss? ”

"Elevator entrance." She grinned, her heart already turbulent.

"Oh, thank you." Grandma Wang reached out to take it, but she retracted her hand.

"It smells of lavender, it should be yours, right?" She pretended to be mischievous and put the silk scarf to the tip of her nose and sniffed it.

"Yes, I don't use perfume, I like essential oils, lavender to calm my nerves, and I use it all year round."

Without saying anything more, she returned the silk scarf, the dust on the silk scarf had long been dusted off, but her heart was covered with a thick layer of sand.

"Thank you, Chiba." Grandma Wang thanked her.

She tried hard to make herself smile naturally, but she knew that her acting skills were clumsy, so she turned around and went back to 1101 before Grandma Wang doubted it.
