Except for the hustle and bustle, there was deathly silence everywhere.

Lin Yang walked back along the road where the baby and him came, the same old street, the same ruined walls.

The same potholes and abandoned paths, the same wading culverts, this time no one carried him across the water, and he didn't want to get his shoes dirty, so he had to pick up his shoes and socks, and the water below was cold.

As soon as his feet touched the water, a cold current came from the soles of his feet to his brain, goosebumps all over his body were pricked, and every sweat pore was bubbling cold.

Hold your shoulders tightly and bend your body a little. Maybe I can feel warmer in my heart this way.

The underwater is not as dangerous as the baby says, and although the potholes are uneven, there are no objects that are too sharp. He didn't hurt his foot.

groping his way through the darkness, the street lamp on the opposite side was still blinking from dim to bright.

Stand at the water's edge, take off your pants, walk up to the middle of the slope, twist it, shake it. Place it on the slope protection wall, so that the stone that still has residual temperature can absorb the moisture on the pants.

Pulling the boxer shorts, the legs are already wet, and the sewage has probably reached the crotch. Fortunately, his legs are long enough, and the little one is still dry.

Pulling open the waist of his pants, I thought about taking it off and throwing it off, thinking that there would be eyes watching in the dark, and gave up again. Look at the gauze wrapped around the body, blood, sweat, mud, you can't see the translucent white.

Touch the wound to itch and heat, touch the skin under the gauze, sticky and greasy.

Wipe the water stains on your feet and legs with your jacket and put them back on your socks, which already have holes in the white socks that show your toes.

When I pinched it, the soles of my socks were already stiff, and the thick and fine gravel stuck to my feet, and there were scab-like clods of soil, and I knocked and kneaded them with my hands.

Sit on the curb of the road, take it off and shake it. Tiny gravel flutters in the air. I can't see it, I can smell it, but I can't catch it.

When I put it back on my feet, I felt the same, there was still grit on the soles of my feet.

Stand up, lift your pants and put them on with the moisture, and it is wet like a film wrapped around your legs.

Sit back again, compare the size of the two shoes to the same, the upper is still neat, look at the soles, it seems to be sticky white objects, buckle it, pinch it up and take a look, it should be the white noodles stepped on in the noodle shop.

Smell it, don't like the smell, bend your index finger and flick it gently.

Ding dong!

There was a circle of ripples on the water, and the black water was shiny and shiny, and there was also the shadow of a street lamp inside. The same brightness, the same flash.

Putting his shoes back on his feet, he stood up and stomped his feet vigorously, hoping that the stiff socks would be softer and more gentle on his worn feet, and then he walked slowly up the slope.

Standing at the top of the slope, don't forget to look back behind you, as if the baby's figure is wading and shaking, through the culvert below. He opened his mouth and smiled lightly, but his eyes were straight.

The smile on his face lingered for a short time, and then disappeared completely.

It's as if I was inadvertently carried away by the night breeze, pinching my numb face, and I can't feel where the nerves on my face have gone.

Looking up at the sky with a wry smile, there were no stars, no moon, and above the dim lights, there was endless darkness.

With your hands behind your back, you can slowly pacing the cobblestones under your feet and enjoy the chic scenery in the park.

Sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning, sometimes surprised, sometimes sad.

Walk along the cobblestone path and first pass the hexagonal pavilion halfway up the mountain.

Standing in the middle of the pavilion, looking at the steps when the girl came, and thinking about her expression at that time, in addition to smiling, there was also a hidden resentment.

Look at the look in her eyes as she handed him the bottle, with tears in her prayer.

Sitting on the chair, leaning on the armrest behind him, it seemed that there was still the residual warmth of the place where he was sitting.

Touching the smooth marble and touching the iron handrail behind him, I felt inexplicably sad in my heart, and my heart ached like a knife.

Tears flowed out, and he didn't have the courage to whimper, so that the tears ran wildly, and let it become a big rolling river, drowning the long-dry riverbed on his face.

……

The east was white, and he leaned against the pillar and opened his eyes groggily to see in the direction of the woods, which were still gray.

I wiped the tears on my face and touched my pants, which were not completely dry. Walk down the gazebo around the pillars of the gazebo and along the cobblestone path to the end that juts out into the woods.

I remember not going the wrong way, I kept going downhill, pulling the cold trees, and walked to the small square below.

Looking at the surrounding environment, there is no change in the slightest, it is estimated that Hou San did not come tonight, look at the east, the light when the sun is about to jump out of the horizon, forming a golden wire in the sky.

He walked to the trunk of the dead tree in the middle of the square, and when there was no wind, and it could not play mournful music, he sat on the ground and leaned on it tiredly.

With a long sigh, he took off his shirt and put on his upper body, exposing his healthy pectoral muscles, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch it.

Said to himself: "The baby's is more developed than mine? ”

The gauze on his stomach was uncomfortable, and he took it away from his body in circles, rubbed the sticky skin that had been tied by gauze, and scratched it. Leaning against the trunk of this tree, I gradually became drowsy, and slowly closed my eyes.

……

Whew!

Kaka!

Lin Yang woke up again, as if someone around him was digging with a shovel. The sun hung over his head, as if it would fall into his mouth if he was not careful.

Lin Yang covered his forehead with his hand, he didn't expect that today's sky would be blue. Turning his head to look at the side, I don't know when, there was a pile of soft soil next to him.

Thinking about the scene when I came last night, did I not see it when it was dark?

Whew!

And he saw an iron shovel stirring up the earth on this mound, and an iron shovel of earth came up and landed on the top of the mound, flowing in all directions like a stream of water.

Lin Yang climbed to the side of the mound in wonder, looked down, and saw that he had dug a deep pit, Hou San pouted his buttocks, and was working hard to produce the soil under the pit.

Lin Yang secretly looked at him for a while, it was rare for Hou San to dig the pit so hard. For a short time, he didn't even lift his head.

Lin Yang had been waiting for him to raise his face and see him, but he had never done so, so he just lifted the soil under the pit without a sound and rushed it to the mound at the edge of the pit. It seems that he is still quietly wiping his tears while working.

Watching him bow his head silently, it seemed that he would not find Lin Yang lying on the edge of the pit for another century. He couldn't help it, grabbed some soil on the edge of the pit and sprinkled it on Hou San's head.

Unexpectedly, Hou San was so determined, he just gently shook his hair a few times with his hand, and then continued the work in his hands.

Seeing him so serious, he couldn't suppress it, Lin Yang couldn't help but snicker quietly,

His laughter still alarmed Hou San, he slowly raised his head to look up, and when he saw Lin Yang's face with a light smile, he was so frightened that he almost sat in the pit.

Ah——!h

Lin Yang didn't expect this kind of thing to happen when Hou San saw him, and he lay on the edge of the pit at a loss, not knowing what to do!

I saw the frightened Hou San, holding the shovel in his hand tightly, and pointing at Lin Yang with the head of the shovel.

"You, little brother, my brother knows that you are unwilling to die, but my brother can't help it! Your brother should have been nice to you when you were alive! You...... Don't hate your brother! ”

His words made Lin Yang confused, and he blinked, oh——! This guy probably thought he was dead.

It's fun now, isn't he very timid? Then scare him and help him practice his courage.

"Brother Hou, little brother, thank you, are you going to help me collect my body and bury me?"

Hou San trembled against the earthen wall behind him, his eyes blinked widely, and he probably couldn't tell that Lin Yang in front of him was a living person. But at least Lin Yang, who knows that this ghost, still has thoughts.

Therefore, the shovel in his hand hesitated to withdraw half of the attack.

"Yes!"

Lin Yang tried his best to show an expression of gratitude, even he didn't know if he had this expression on his face.

"Brother Hou! Thank you so much, you are my only relative in the mountain city, I really want to kneel down and kowtow to you a few times, but my brother's body can no longer move, and my soul can no longer drive this body. ”

Woooooo

The fake play was really done, and Lin Yang actually cried loudly.

Hou San was really moved by Lin Yang's hypocrisy, looked at him with teary eyes, completely let go of his fear and vigilance, inserted the shovel into the soil at the bottom of the pit, and came over and reached out to touch Lin Yang's face.

"It's all my fault that I didn't stay to take care of you yesterday, leaving you lying in the wilderness, maggots crawling all over your body, the third brother can't bear it! However, I also have a last resort! You're about the same age as my long-ailing daughter, why are you so ruthless ......! ”

Hou San was really moved, trembling and stroking Lin Yang's head, crying loudly.

This time Lin Yang was really moved by him, his heart was sour, and he also shed a few tears.

I even want to give up the courage to continue, how good it would be to really have such a brother! However, the reality is so unsatisfactory, not only does he not have such an older brother, but he doesn't even have a broken family.

"Brother Hou! I am so touched, you are really my good brother, I hope you will live forever, live a hundred years, and live at least 10,000 years. ”

"Ahh You want your brother to be the king! ”

"Brother Hou, the younger brother didn't mean that, the younger brother wants the elder brother to live forever, immortal and immortal, and live in our hearts forever."

"Oh! Am I dead? Am I still alive? ”

Lin Yang smiled secretly.

"Brother! The world over there is too dark, I'm a single person, I'm always bullied by those evil ghosts, my good brother! Our relationship is so good, you definitely don't want your little brother to suffer all over his body every day! Otherwise, come and stay with me! The two of us also have a baby! Yes! Woooooo ”

Lin Yang's crying this time was completely faked, but he didn't expect Hou San to readily agree.

"Alright! My good brother, when my brother buries your body, my brother will come to accompany you! ”

After listening to Hou San's words, Lin Yang felt that Hou San had seen through his tricks. Just wanted to escape from Hou San's arms, who knew that Hou San seemed weak, but at this time he became infinitely powerful.

Shout! "Come down! Little ghost! ”

Grabbing Lin Yang's smooth shoulders, he pulled Lin Yang into the deep pit he had dug. Without waiting for Lin Yang to beg for mercy, he jumped to the ground and poured the mound of soil on the edge of the pit with an iron shovel on Lin Yang's body.

"It's in vain that I'm kind and treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by you, a little ghost! How dare you amuse me? ”
