The next day was a rainy day.

The sky was gray, completely obscuring the sun's rays, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in darkness.

It was a little dark, but it didn't rain.

So, it's okay to run at high speeds.

After washing up and having breakfast, Xia Xin met Fang Zheng Fang Wei and his party downstairs.

It seems that they are also ready to hit the road.

Fang Wei was obviously a little shocked by Yisha with Xia Xin, Leng Xuetong's eyes were so beautiful.

A little flattering suggested that they should go together, anyway, they should be at the same destination, together with each other, so that they could take care of each other.

Yisha said casually, which made Fang Dawei happy.

"Then you wait, let's go and get ready first, so we can go on the road together."

"Okay." Fang Wei nodded busily.

Yisha smiled and explained to him like this, so she took Xia Xin and the others directly and drove away.

Xia Xin was very worried about Fang Wei and his party who were waiting in place, how could they believe other people's words so easily.

This time the journey was simpler.

Although it was dark, it was smooth because there was no rain and there were few cars on the road.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, I had already arrived in my hometown of Cangzhou.

Yisha parked in the place where she rented a new apartment in the summer of high school.

Leng Xuetong got out of the car first, and then looked at Xia Xindao, "What are you going to do, do you want to stay here?" The rooms were still empty. ”

"No need, thank you, I'll go straight back to my hometown with Yeye."

Yisha asked suspiciously, "Isn't your hometown here?" ”

"This is the south of the city, my hometown is the north of the city, I still lived there when I was in junior high school, and I moved here because I went to school in high school."

Leng Xuetong is the same, junior high school is the same school as Xia Xin, and high school only moved to a rented house in the north of the city, mainly close to the school.

The hometown Xia Xin said was the one in the north of the city where he lived with Ye Ye.

Naturally, the tomb of Xia Xin's parents is also in the north of the city.

Xia Xin said, "For the rest, I'll take the bus by myself." ”

Yisha thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, I'll send you over." ”

"Ah, don't bother, we can get over ourselves."

Yisha patted Xia Xin's head and said, "What are you polite to me?" ”

"That'...... All right. ”

Then Xia Xin directed the route of Yisha's car.

The road to Xia Xin's hometown is not easy to walk.

Behind the flat concrete road, there is a potholed path, and the car drives one after another.

This cheap little polo car can't stand the toss, and there are bursts of sorrow along the way.

The group of them came to a relatively secluded town.

This is a relatively poor corner of the city, and the car is not easy to drive, so you can only park on the side of the road and walk in by yourself.

The houses here are relatively old, they look very old, most of them are earthen tile houses, and the highest is a two-story bungalow, which is completely disproportionate to the small high-rise buildings on the side of Leng Xuetong, and most of the houses are still built with earthen walls.

As you walk, you can hear the sound of chickens and dogs, which is very rustic.

Xia Xin said jokingly, "Every morning at about 6 o'clock, there will be a scream of killing pigs, and the sound is loud, but whoever lives in this area, there is nothing that cannot be heard, and it is more punctual than an alarm clock." ”

Yisha smiled reluctantly and asked, "Then where did you live before?" ”

"It's coming soon."

Xia Xin led Xia Ye, turned around in front, and soon saw the destination.

It was a small house at the end of a row of houses by the lake.

If it weren't for Xia Xin pointing to the house he had lived in before, Yisha would have thought it was a small thatched house.

The door was still the same old wooden door, locked by a palm-sized iron lock.

Because it hadn't been opened for too long, the door was already full of dust.

Xia Xin took out a very old key, inserted it into the lock, and took a little effort to open the lock.

"It's all rusty."

With a "creak" sound, the door was opened, which also allowed Yisha to see the true face inside.

In fact, before opening the door, he was still thinking, what kind of sparrow is small, but it has all kinds of organs, or this kind of house just looks small, but the inside is actually quite large, or something like that.

However, when she opened the door, she was disappointed.

The house is more than 20 square meters.

There is a mat on a kang in the corner on the right, which is naturally a bed for sleeping, and a stove for cooking on the left, which can be filled with firewood and a pot on it, and then a small table in the middle, with two small chairs on the side of the table, which is naturally used for eating.

There is also a shelf next to the bed, on which is a basin, presumably used to put toiletries.

It's as simple as that, in this small room, there are just a few things, and they have taken up almost all the space.

The three of them went in, and there was no place to stand.

The humble couldn't be more shabby.

Yisha muttered, "Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, eating, drinking, sleeping, eating, sleeping, ......"

Then I found a night pot next to the bed, apparently used to pull.

It's really all piled up in this little room.

The corners of Yisha's mouth twitched, and she said, "It's really, I have everything I should have." ”

Xia Xin replied, "Yes, except for rainy days, the left side will leak, nothing else." ”

"What a loss...... You can grow up in this environment. ”

Yisha knows very well that the two things that have the greatest impact on people are innate genes, and secondly, the acquired environment.

The influence of the environment on people, including mind, appearance, skin, and conversation, which is why children of wealthy families usually have better appearance and conversation, just because the living environment is good.

Living in such a humble environment, it stands to reason that it will ruin some things of people, such as skin, such as appearance, and people should not be exquisite.

Yisha subconsciously glanced at the delicate porcelain doll-like summer night, and said in her heart, is it because of the excellence of innate genes that she can ignore the growth of the environment.

A few people walked around the room, or rather, casually looked at it, and they saw everything, and there was nothing after seeing everything.

Yisha didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"Go to the grave early, so I can send you back before dark."

"Okay."

A few people went out and bought some necessary candle ingots, paper money, brooms, scythes for mowing grass and other things at a humble grocery store next door.

The grave is in the back mountain.

The mountain roads are rugged and difficult to navigate.

It is said that there is only a road when there are more people walking, so there are basically no people walking on this mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, there are tombstones nearby.

Families are basically buried here.

However, it is overgrown with weeds, and most of the tombstones look old, and most of them have not been swept by anyone.

Some of the tombstones were even covered with vines and plants, and it looked like they hadn't been swept in years.

The difference between the tombstones is not more than 1 meter, and they are all gathered together.

"Why, buried here?" Yisha asked the question.

She felt like a mass grave, with a bunch of dead people buried together.

A trace of sadness flashed in Xia Xin's eyes and said, "Because it's cheap to bury here." ”

“……”

Xia Xin came to his parents' grave with ease.

Nearby, only the graves of Xia Xin's parents are relatively new, because Xia Xin comes to clean them every year.

Then it's time to light incense, light candles, and burn paper money.

There was a "boom" in the sky, and a muffled thunder sounded, and a flash of lightning flashed in the distance.

Yisha had to remind, "Hurry up, it feels like it's going to rain." ”

"Yes."

Seeing Xia Xin and Xia Ye burning incense and paper over there very seriously, Yisha walked around.

Out of boredom, she walked around the neighborhood casually, out of curiosity, but she was quite interested in the content of the tombstone, and wanted to see who was nearby.

The names of these rural people are really strange.

What Zhang Quandan, Li Goudan, Iron Pillar, Silver Ring, Niu Er, but let her see many strange names.

Yisha just walked among the piles of graves and looked at them one by one.

Most of the tombstones are written with the year of birth and death, the tomb of whose beloved son XXX, the tomb of whose father XXX, and the tomb of whose mother XXX.

She didn't know either.

Until she reached a corner and was about to go back.

Yisha was surprised to find that there was a tombstone lying in the corner.

The tombstone was not large, and it had cracked in the middle, and half of it had sunk into the earth, and it was dumped forward, and the name could not be seen.

Out of respect for the dead, Yisha thought about it and decided to hold up the tombstone.

It takes a bit of effort.

Yisha walked to the tombstone and tried hard to straighten it.

However, as soon as she walked to the tombstone and read the name on it, her feet slipped and she fell directly to the ground.

Yisha immediately rubbed her eyes, and then looked carefully at the name on the tombstone.

This time, his eyes widened completely, and his face was incredulous.

Although she couldn't see a lot of traditional Chinese characters such as birth and death years and family trees in front of her, she could see the final name clearly.

"Tomb of the Summer Night!"
