Yang Xing didn't believe that he had eaten so many grapes when he was asleep, but the facts were in front of him, and the next day Sha Bo brought grapes to see him, and he ate all the grapes in front of Sha Bo and Xiao Fei in front of him. The taste of the grapes was not necessarily too good, but the fact that he had no abnormal reaction after eating it was enough for him to be ecstatic. But he thought that he would only be able to eat grapes as food in the future, and while he was excited, he was still a little gloomy.

So he thought that there must be something in this world that he could eat, but he didn't find it.

Early that morning, he and Xiaofei went to find Shabo. Sha Bo was stuffing a few changes of clothes into a large travel bag, and when he saw Xiaofei and Yang Xing coming in, he didn't raise his head to let them sit. Xiao Fei paced up to him and asked, "Lao Sha, are you going home?" Shabo shook his head and closed the zipper of his travel bag: "It's just right that you came, let me ask you something, have you ever met netizens?" Xiaofei and Yang Xing glared at him together: "Lao Sha, are you dating online?" Sha Bo blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, do you have to have online dating when you see netizens, what kind of logic do you have." Xiaofei said: "Why are you meeting netizens if you don't have online love." "I can't tell you clearly, so I'll ask you if you've seen netizens. It's good to have seen it, I have experience, accompany me to meet one in the afternoon, if you haven't seen it, it's okay, come with me to see it. Xiaofei became interested: "Lao Sha, you have to make it clear, who are you seeing." Shabo knew that these two children were both good, and if they didn't say everything, they might be muttering behind their backs.

"Actually, I don't even know if the person I'm trying to see is a man or a woman. Here's the thing, I searched on the Internet last night, and I saw a post about self-help travel in the forum of the city's information port, the initiator is called Qin Ge, he wants to travel to a place, but he doesn't want to go alone, so he wants to find a few companions. Xiao Fei laughed: "It turns out that Lao Sha wants to go on a trip, and I still have an online relationship with you, so I'm happy for you." "It's impossible to say, that Qin Ge may be a beautiful cutie, our Lao Sha is facing others day and night along the way, grinding his ears and temples, and it is not impossible to win the cold." Yang Xing also teased Shabo.

Sha Bo smiled and didn't argue with the two children: "Now that you know something, don't talk nonsense to me outside." He looked at Xiaofei, then at Yang Xing, and slapped Yang Xing on the shoulder, "You kid ate some grapes, and his complexion is much better." Yang Xing smiled helplessly: "I haven't eaten as many grapes in my life as I have in these two days." Sha Bo and Xiao Fei looked at each other and smiled, Sha Bo said, "Don't do anything in the afternoon, accompany me to meet netizens." Yang Xing and Xiaofei said in unison: "I can't ask for it." The keyword in Shabo's online search is "Sleepy Valley." The famous Google search engine popped up more than 300 pieces of information related to Sleepy Hollow at once, but most of them were American director Tim Burton's film "Sleepy Hollow" based on Washington Irving's novel "Sleepy Hollow Legends". Shabo browsed one by one, and finally saw the information entry for the self-guided trip when he was about to be completely disappointed.

Open the content, it's a post in the forum. The text of the post is not too much, but it simply states that the destination of the trip is a small town called Sleepy Valley, and gives a brief introduction to the town, including the location of the town, the customs of the town, and the original scenery unique to the town, and finally the travel time and contact information.

Shabo had just wanted to look for some information about Sleepy Valley on the Internet, but this information about recruiting companions suddenly moved his heart. The trip took place in the middle of the month, just in the middle of the school holidays. If the destination of this trip is indeed the town where the Forgotten Worries Grass is located, then he can meet the small-town girl who is not as dusty as the town.

When this thought came to mind, it became irrepressible.

Sleepy Valley. Forget the worries. For the entire night, Saab had those two names in his head. It had been a long time since Forget Worry had been online, and after that night, she had completely disappeared from the internet. Such a story is really too dramatic, and it seems too deliberate. Shabo has seen many such stories online, and disappearance is an essential plot among them. Such a thing would happen to him, and Shabo really felt very helpless. However, the dizziness and the black flames in the dream made him wonder in his heart, not knowing the specific meaning of those flames in reality.

Then go to Sleepy Hollow and see the quaint and beautiful town and the beautiful town girl.

Qin Ge left an email address in that post, and Sha Bo sent him an email that night, leaving his contact information. Early this morning, Sha Bo went to the audio-visual education hall and received a reply from Qin Ge. In the reply, I made an appointment to meet in the afternoon, and then we discussed the details of the trip.

The security of the network became more and more suspicious, and Sha Bo called Yang Xing and Xiaofei to go with him, not because he was worried about his own safety, but because he knew that he lacked experience in dealing with strangers.

The Central Bar has long been famous on the city's network, and many netizens use it as a regular meeting place. Anyone who appears here is probably a prawn that is famous on the Internet.

Sha Bo took Yang Xing Xiaofei to meet Qin Ge here, it was a man in his early thirties, with a mediocre appearance, medium height, thin body, with a small flat head, and when he frowned or smiled, some folds appeared at the corners of his eyes. No matter how you look at it, this is a person who can't be picked out of the crowd.

When Qin Ge came over to shake hands with Sha Bo, Sha Bo was already very calm in his heart.

People with mediocre appearances have a unique affinity that can make people relax their vigilance at first sight.

Qin Ge introduced himself as a reporter for an evening newspaper and recently took a long leave to shoot a set of original pictures for a publishing house. By chance, a friend mentioned Sleepy Hollow, and the idea of traveling there was moved. But no one around him knew about Sleepy Hollow, and no travel agency in the city had a travel route to Sleepy Hollow, so he thought of posting on an online forum to solicit travel companions.

Such reasons are sufficient and reasonable, and no one can say anything after listening to them.

Sha Bo asked about the specific time of the trip, Qin Ge waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, there are two friends who will also go to Sleeping Valley with us, they should arrive soon." After about twenty minutes, a man and a woman walked into the bar and stood by the door and looked around. Qin Ge's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw that the woman was holding a magazine in her hand that everyone had agreed to use as a mark. Qin Ge hurriedly stood up and waved at the two of them, and the two of them came over here together.

The man who came over was not tall, but he looked unusually strong, his exposed arms were the thickness of a bowl, his head rushed forward slightly when he walked, and his two arms were stretched outward, and he attracted Yang Xing's attention as soon as he came up. Yang Xing felt that his walking posture was a little familiar, and his mind spun around quickly, and he remembered. This man walks like Tyson, Lewis, and Holyfield, and Tyson are all professional boxers, so Yang Xing immediately decided that this man is definitely a boxing master.

The woman walked in front of the man, soft and weak, wearing a beige skirt, beautiful and elegant, at first glance she was the kind of girl who came out of the office building.

The two of them came over, the man's eyes were dull, as if he had a depression in his heart that could not be eliminated, but the woman was down-and-out and generous, nodded with a few people present, and then took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Tang Wan, he is my boyfriend, his name is Tan Dong." Qin Ge also introduced himself and Sha Bo in turn.

After Tan Dong sat down, his eyes were still glazed, looking at an unknown place in the corner of the bar, as if he had no intention of talking to the few people present. His emotions infected everyone, and even Yang Xing and Xiaofei sat there silently. Later, when she went back, Xiaofei told Yang Xing that the moment she came in, she felt a murderous aura from Tan Dong.

In the bar that day, Qin Ge specifically told everyone about the trip three days later, and everyone had no objection to Qin Ge's plan. The members of the self-guided tour will travel by train to the capital of a southwestern province, then continue west to the capital of an ethnic minority autonomous region, from where they will transfer to a bus for about a day's journey north to Sleepy Valley.

Qin Ge talked about the itinerary, Sha Bo Tan Dong and Tang Wan were expressionless, but Xiao Fei and Yang Xing showed miserable eyes. Xiaofei said in Yang Xing's ear: "These people are crazy, they can't go anywhere if they want to travel, they run so far, they have to drive people crazy just by taking a car, and the name of the place they are going to is full of evil nature when they hear it." Yang Xing grabbed Xiaofei's hand below: "I think these people are a little abnormal, maybe they didn't go to Sleeping Valley just for tourism." Xiao Fei moved her hand and motioned for Yang Xing to speak elsewhere. The two of them stood up and walked over to the bar and sat down. Xiaofei said: "What do you think of again?" "You think we Lao Sha, I've never heard him talk about Sleeping Valley before, and now he sleeps all night, and suddenly wants to go so far away, if there is no reason, he must have fallen into evil." "Reasonable. And what about that Qin Ge? Qin Ge said that he was a reporter and wanted to take a set of original pictures for the publishing house. But there are many famous primitive areas in China, such as Shennongjia, Lop Nur, and Guloulan, where he can't shoot them. Besides, even if he really wanted to shoot something that no one else had photographed, it didn't seem necessary to run that far. Can a journalist have such a long vacation to make him toss around the world? Xiaofei thought about it and put away the smile on her face.

"There are also Tan Dong and Tang Wan, these two people are even more evil. Looking at Tan Dong's expression, this kind of person will not have the leisure to travel at all, they look like they are going out to escape something. "Escape from what?" Xiaofei asked casually.

"I don't know about this, but I know that when they get together, there must be a lot of excitement when they go out, and if it's not good, what else can happen." Xiaofei immediately became interested, and she felt the happiest thing to have a lively look. She rolled her eyes, and her body was closer to Yang Xing: "Otherwise, let's join this tour group too, I heard Lao Sha say that the mountains on both sides of the town called Sleepy Valley are vineyards, and now it is the season of grape harvest." Yang Xing was silent, and Xiao Fei's words moved his heart. After Shabo went out, there was no one in the school, and the two of them were tired of being in school. Moreover, he really wanted to leave for a while so that he could forget something.

- Sleepy Hollow. Is that a place where memories can be put to sleep?

Yang Xing and Xiaofei decided to go back and think about it, anyway, there were still three days before they set off.

Qin Ge over there seemed to be a similar story, and Tan Dong and Tang Wan got up to say goodbye. Xiao Fei stared at the two of them going out, watching their figures flash behind a glass window facing the street. Suddenly, Xiaofei patted Yang Xing on the shoulder, Yang Xing looked in the direction she pointed, and just saw a thin man in black standing by the window. The man in black was too thin, and although he was wearing quite loose clothes, at a glance, people could still see his body wrapped in clothes like a hemp pole.

Xiaofei smiled: "There are still such thin people in the world." Yang Xing became worried, and he said, "I don't know if I continue to eat like this, and one day I will become like him." Xiao Fei shivered in her heart, and she really felt a trace of fear in her heart.

In the middle of the night, the whole city shook again. Many people wake up and realize that the earthquake has happened again. But this time people didn't panic like last time, and many people already had a premonition that this night's earthquake was just the same as last time, just a very low level of microtremor that you can feel, but it wasn't enough to damage the city. Besides, so many people have been away from home for so long and live in some simple earthquake-proof sheds, waiting for the earthquake? Now it's coming as scheduled, making many people's expectations worth met.

Still, panic inevitably befell the city.

Sha Bo and Yang Xing Xiaofei sat in the stands on the west side of the playground after the earthquake. From the stands, you can clearly see the entire playground, those earthquake-proof sheds are full of noise at the moment, children crying, women screaming, men shouting at their families, and some pet dogs left their owners during the earthquake, running around and barking non-stop.

The shaking of the city was over, but the three of them were sleepy. An old cat jumped past them, causing Xiao Fei to scream in a low voice, and her body shrank into Yang Xing's arms. Yang Xing's gaze fell on Sha Bo who was sitting alone at this time. Sabo put his hands on his lap and hung his head, depressed.

"Lao Sha." Yang Xing called Sha Bo softly, "What are you thinking, so deep." "I think what would happen if tonight, I died in this earthquake." Shabo said in a deep voice.

"Lao Sha, don't think nonsense, don't you sit here now? In the middle of the night, don't scare us with the dead. Xiaofei said.

"In fact, death is everywhere in life, I don't know how many people die every day in this world, death is just a momentary thing, so we actually live on the verge of death every day." Saab continued, "Sometimes, you simply can't tell the line between life and death. Shabo thought again of the black flames of vertigo and sleep. Flames burn in the vineyards, and the line of sight moves rapidly. What are you running away from? What to look for? What is hidden behind those flames?

Xiao Fei didn't think much of Sha Bo's words, but Yang Xing trembled slightly at this moment. Xiao Fei felt it and shrunk it tighter into his arms. Xiaofei thought that Yang Xing was cold, but she didn't know that Yang Xing was at this moment, because of Sha Bo's words, it aroused a great pain in his heart. He could only let the pains sleep in his heart, and he had to bear them all by himself. But at this moment, on the night of the earthquake, when death was close at hand, he suddenly found himself in extreme confusion.

At this moment, it suddenly occurred to him that he couldn't eat anything except grapes, could it be related to the hidden pain in his heart? Thinking of this, some strange feelings were born again. He hurriedly pushed Xiaofei away, got up and ran away a few steps, squatting down and making a retching sound.

Xiao Fei and Sha Bo over there hurried over, and Xiao Fei hugged Yang Xing from behind. Yang Xing retched so painfully, although he didn't really vomit anything, but the retching had already made his face full of tears, and his whole face was distorted.

In his tearful vision, he saw a man emerge in the darkness. The pale face was like lime soaked with water, and the protruding features and hair were congealed with frost. His mouth was slightly open, but his eyes were wide, and there was no more sparkle in his gray eyes, as if he had been frozen in ice in the middle of shooting his gaze. It was an old man, and his face was full of wrinkles, which were now the color of wet lime.

Yang Xing remembered that this person was his father. His dead father.

Yang Xing couldn't help retching again, this time he finally vomited something, it was a mess of bitter water and some grape skins and seeds. There were also some undigested grape flesh, which had now turned into a green paste mixed with the bitter water.

Yang Xing's eyes were spinning, and vomiting had already made him lose all his strength.

- The father who has condensed the frost, the father who is pale as wet lime, is this you?
