The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and I don't know when the light rain in the sky actually carried scattered snow chips.

Qian Duoduo went home and moved his cotton clothes and quilts to Lu Chen. When he was about to leave the house, his father stood in the courtyard and cursed angrily. scolded him as a white-eyed wolf, and he didn't let him step into the door again until he died.

When I returned to Lu Chen's house, the far door was wide open, and Secretary Liu was standing in the courtyard and scolding while fanning the wind with his hands. Puffs of black smoke wafted out of the reopened room with a choking smell.

What happened? Qian Duoduo was so frightened that he hurriedly threw the large woven bag in his hand to the ground and ran towards the house.

"Hey! Don't go in! When he ran past Secretary Liu and was about to rush into the house, Qian Duoduo only felt that his body was blunt, and he was tightly dragged by Secretary Liu's clothes.

"It's so choking inside!!" Secretary Liu was choked and coughed. "Hurry up and stay outside!"

"What's going on? What about Lu Chen? Qian Duoduo couldn't help but look inside the room nervously and worriedly, but his vision was blocked by the smoke coming out, and he couldn't see anything clearly, he only knew that he didn't see the flames coming. But what's going on inside? Has the fire just been extinguished?

"Ahem, ahem!!"

With a cough, a grizzled man sprang out of the house. It was Lu Chen, his whole body at this time, even his hair was covered with soot. His face was dirty like a big cat.

"What's going on? What are you doing? Qian Duoduo looked at the other party's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help asking.

"Don't mention it." Touching his face randomly, Lu Chen's dark face became even more flowery, "I thought it was so cold, so I built a room with Secretary Liu on the stove, thinking that it would be warmer if it was lit." Who knows a little, ahem... He actually smoked so big. ”

Lu Chen coughed and said intermittently, he felt that his throat was itching terribly, as if there were many tiny particles rubbing against his throat this time, which made people cough vigorously.

"You... Is this a raw stove? Looking at Lu Chenhe in shock and the room that was still emitting black smoke, Qian Duoduo asked in disbelief, "Are you stupid?" I can't even make a stove?? ”

"I don't use this at home, I always cook with gas." Lu Chen explained aggrievedly, Secretary Liu stood aside, tightly shutting his mouth, not wanting to make a remark.

"Still angry? I think you two are just trying to you off! After saying that, Qian Duoduo didn't take care of the two of them and walked into the house.

After half a day, the stove finally came alive, and the window opened to let out the black smoke. The air in the room became a little lighter, and Qian Duoduo pulled the bags containing the futons thrown in the courtyard into the house, intending to put them in the closet.

As soon as he walked to the closet, he inadvertently glanced at the table set aside from the corner of his eye, and the table was gray and dusty. He stretched out his finger and swiped it lightly on the table, and suddenly the finger that had just been washed was stained with black ash on his forehead again.

His face darkened when he saw the black ash on his fingers, and he called out the names of Lu Chen and Secretary Liu loudly.

The town has entered the early winter, the season of silence. However, the town is not as peaceful as it is this season.

One day after that, Lu Chen didn't know what day it was, and his life had been muddy, so that he had forgotten to pay attention to the date of each day. It snowed lightly again that morning

Finely broken, laying a thin white carpet on the streets of the town, Qian Duoduo's aunt had just finished serving her husband and children in the morning, and she was carrying the overnight's garbage in her hand, planning to throw it into a garbage pit not far from her home, but she had just pushed open the courtyard door, and before she could take a quick step, she was hit by a black shadow that suddenly appeared.

"Oops, it hurts me!" The woman who was hit hard and fell to the ground only felt a pain in her wrist and buttocks. Raised his hand to see that it was not broken skin, it should have been accidentally twisted when he just fell, and he reluctantly stood up, dissatisfied to see the person who bumped into him.

However, when she saw the appearance of the person who had bumped into her, she was so surprised that she could no longer say a word.

Right in front of her stood a man in his old and tattered clothes who looked to be in his mid-30s. The man didn't leave after getting up, did he apologize, just stood there and looked at the woman stunned. As if time had been stopped by the god of time, both stood in place, staring at each other.

The appearance of the man in front of her was no longer familiar to the woman, but she didn't understand why she saw each other, could it be that she was hallucinating, or she saw a fool.

"Cheng Lu..."The man in front of him spoke, his tone trembled, and he could hear that he was also panicked.

"You... You—" The woman was still surprised that she couldn't say a complete sentence, and stood in place trembling and looked at the man, "You're human... Or a ghost...."

"Me?" The man looked at the woman suspiciously, then at his outstretched hands, smiled bitterly, and said, "Cheng Lu, I'm human, you're not afraid!" ”

"Ahh This.... Isn't this Lao Wang?! Just when the man was about to say something to the woman, an aunt who was also out of the way to take out the garbage saw it and shouted in surprise.

The man looked back at the old man who was talking about himself. This man he knew, a neighbor who lived in town a long time ago.

"You ......." The middle-aged woman still wanted to say something, just opened her mouth, and before she could make a sound, she was suddenly hugged into the courtyard by the other party and the woman, and then quickly turned around and closed the courtyard door tightly.

"What are you doing?!"

Not understanding the meaning of the other party's actions, the two women pulled out his hand that was holding the door tightly and tried to open it. And he desperately closed the door tightly, and at the same time whispered a reminder, "Don't talk, there's someone outside!" ”

Hearing his inexplicable words, the two women didn't know why, but they still quieted down. The sound of many people running around was heard not far from the door, and then a person stood in what should be an alley and shouted, "Did you find someone?" ”

"Not yet!" After a while, someone in the distance responded.

"Then keep looking! Check it out on the next street!! The person who asked at the beginning spoke again. This was followed by the sound of the crowd running away.

"Are you Lao Wang?" The middle-aged aunt looked at the man with a surprised expression, looking for memories of the other party's appearance in the depths of her mind.

"No, I think you're mistaken, I'm not surnamed Wang." The man smiled at the aunt and pulled the woman out of the yard.

"What the hell are you?" Out of the aunt's house, the man pulled the woman all the way cautiously towards the depths of the alley, and the woman followed behind her with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Cheng Lu, I finally see you again." Walking to a secret and secluded place, the man finally stopped, turned back and grabbed the woman's hands, "I know you are Cheng Lu, although you have become older, your appearance has not changed at all." Ten years! We finally met again. ”
