At the beginning of the new year, I boarded the car to the county seat with the advice of my family and the shock left by Lao Lintou.

The car was looking for a track in the Z-bend, and I watched as the white snow and ice disappeared little by little outside the window.

Lao Lin Tou's last words were undoubtedly telling me that one of the two robbers was my ancestor, and I was not surprised that this ancestor surnamed Huang would change his name and surname, after all, they stayed after changing their identities, and I was not surprised that my ancestor turned out to be a robber, after all, in that year, trying to survive was their ultimate goal.

What I am shocked of, or what I am puzzled about, is it a coincidence that my ancestor, as a corpse chaser, came to the robber's bay where Wushan Tusi was buried so coincidentally, and so coincidentally, he carried a mysterious tortoise shell that was originally one with Wushan Tusi's neck, or did my ancestor have another purpose?

I know that Lao Lin Tou has told me everything he knows, and I also know that I will never get any more clues from my grandfather, but in my heart, I still expect them to tell me more things, and it is better to take the initiative to tell me everything that happened back then, instead of asking a little and they will answer a little like before.

Of course, this is just my expectation, but the reality is another matter: Lao Lin Tou has guarded the secret of his whole life, but the result is only to hide his family's background, my grandfather has been talking for decades, and he is just a half-hung god who does not learn and does not know, these two people actually have nothing in their stomachs, but I was deceived by their appearance.

After the car drove down the hill, I got onto the flat road, and the slight shaking was like a crib, and I quickly fell asleep with my window on the window and watching the speeding road.

In my sleep, I returned to the Tusi Tomb of Wushan, and I saw the unadorned but solemn four walls of the ancient tomb, as well as the simple and monotonous coffin in the middle with a hint of mystery, as if I felt the kind of "insight into the past through the ages" that the ancestors of the old forest head said.

I saw Wushan Tusi stand up from the coffin, his eyes were still so weird, his muscles were still so withered, his body was still covered with lines, and he was surrounded by corpse rotting fungi, but the strange thing was that although Toast was the same as the one I had seen before, I was not afraid at all, on the contrary, I seemed to feel a sense of intimacy, as if there was some kind of connection between me and him.

Toast slowly walked out of the coffin, he walked towards me step by step, I was not afraid, and walked slowly towards him, suddenly, Toast stretched out his hand, I thought he was saying hello to me, and also stretched out his hand, but Toast did not hold my hand, his hand was raised from my waist to my neck, and then suddenly became a hideous look, roaring and rushing towards me.

I subconsciously stepped back and woke up.

When I woke up, I found that the car had arrived at the county station, and people were noisily looking for their luggage.

It took four hours to get from the farm to the county seat, and when I got to the county seat, I had to change trains to get to the provincial capital, and after getting off the train, I found a restaurant and sat down: the food and drink on the train were expensive, and I had to fill my stomach before I could get on the train.

To be honest, I am not short of money now, and when I leave, my mother wants to give me all the salary she saved for me, but I don't ask for it, because I have the salary from my resignation and the 20,000 yuan given by Qiu Yan.

I just don't like the way the train station is priced and grabs you for money!

After another two hours of drowsiness, I walked out of the provincial railway station at about eight o'clock in the evening.

Qiu Yan said that when she arrived, she would call her and she would come to pick me up, but I didn't plan to do that.

Before I came, I asked for Qiu Yan's company address, and she also said that she and Xiang Wei would usually be busy until about ten o'clock before leaving, and I wanted to surprise them.

In the end, the provincial capital is a provincial capital, young men and women are dressed fashionably, and almost everyone has a Nokia mobile phone in their hands, compared to me, a country boy with a snakeskin bag, it looks much shabby.

But it doesn't matter, after settling down, let's also buy a brighter outfit, and also buy a color screen mobile phone that is just fashionable, besides, don't we still have a lot of money in our hands!

After standing at the exit and taking a deep breath, I walked to the taxi pick-up gate, waved my big hand, and greeted a big brother with a smile on his face and a very polite person.

The car drove very fast, the bustling night view of the provincial capital was very dazzling, I didn't have time to appreciate it, the driver's eldest brother braked, and told me that when I arrived———— Qiu Yan's company was less than 200 meters away from the train station, and it took less than ten minutes to walk.

I forcibly concealed my embarrassment and handed a hundred-dollar bill to the driver, who turned over his head for a long time before turning out a large stack of change and returning it to me.

Xiang Wei's company was in an office building, and the hall was still lit at this time, so I stood downstairs and looked up at the towering building, and then walked in with a snakeskin bag.

Just when I was happily thinking about how to appear in front of Qiu Yan, I was stopped by a security guard:

"What are you doing? Don't you see it's dark? I'll come back tomorrow if I have something to do! ”

The security guards are neatly dressed and have a strong posture, which looks like they have been in the army.

"Hehe, brother, I'm looking for someone." When I see my own people, I always feel a sense of intimacy for no reason.

"Who is your brother? I'm telling you, if you want to spend the night here, no way! "The security guard is very faceless.

"It's not a brother, then call it comrade, comrade, I'm not here to spend the night, I have friends in this building, they haven't gotten off work yet, don't believe you take a look!" After speaking, I handed the address Qiu Yan gave me to the security guard.

Who knew that the security guard didn't even look at it, so he pushed my hand away and smiled with disdain:

"Comrade! You can see clearly, this is an office building, not an apartment building, this is an office place, not a place to meet friends, besides, just like you, can you have friends in here? ”

As soon as I heard it, I understood that this guy judged people by his appearance, and he thought I was dressed indecently.

There was no way, people were under the eaves, and I had to bow my head, I was still smiling, and asked politely:

"Okay, if you don't go in, you won't go in, then I'll always make a call."

"Do you like to fight?" The security guard pouted, then turned away.

I shook my head helplessly and reached for the phone on my desk.

"What are you doing?" The security guard grabbed my wrist like a thief.

"Call!"

"Call from your own phone!"

"Comrade, I don't have my own phone yet, so you can't even borrow a phone here, right?"

"I'm sorry, I can't borrow it. I said you're really, don't you just want to spend the night in it? It's not like I've never seen you like this, what are you pretending to be, and you're still a friend, even if you really have a friend here, seeing you like this, he has to break off your friendship. ”

Seeing the swaggering appearance of this security guard, I couldn't help it, so I threw the bag on the ground and shouted:

"Stand upright!"

The security guard was not ambiguous, and immediately reacted to the conditions, with a "snap", and stood in a standard posture.

Without waiting for him to react, I walked over and slapped his hat on the bridge of my nose and shouted:

"Recruit eggs. Son, you're still on the same line with me, what are you on? Isn't it just a security guard? It's back to you! What about the situation of the military and civilians? Learned in the ass? ”

The security guard may have been confused by my actions, and he didn't react for a while, just at this time, Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei walked out of the elevator.

Qiu Yan recognized me at a glance and trotted all the way over:

"He Zimu! When did you arrive? Why didn't you call? Okay, I'll pick you up. ”

At this time, the security guard turned his head to look at Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei, and asked in surprise:

"Mr. Xiang, is he really your friend?"

I raised my hand to signal Qiu Yan and Xiang Wei not to speak, and then said sharply to the security guard:

"You're ready for me! Regardless of whether I am his friend or not, a common man comes with a request, should you be enthusiastic? You won't even be allowed to make a phone call, the dog looks down on people, who taught you? ”

Qiu Yan didn't know why, and asked softly:

"He Zimu, what's wrong?"

I didn't answer Qiu Yan, and continued to teach earnestly with my hands behind my back:

"When we enter the barracks, we are the people's soldiers, don't think that if we take off our uniforms, we won't! You're just a security guard now, you're so arrogant, you're going to be promoted to an official and make a fortune in the future, do you still have to be the emperor of the soil! Say, what year are you soldiers! ”

The security guard was still honestly upright, and when he heard my question, he immediately replied loudly:

"Report to the squad leader, I enlisted in the army in 01!"

I was shocked, cleared my throat and said:

"Well, okay, Mr. Xiang and I still have something to discuss, let's do it today, remember, don't judge people by their appearance in the future!"

After saying that, I pulled Xiang Wei and Qiu Yan and walked out, ignoring the security guard saluting me behind me.

After getting into Qiu Yan's car, Qiu Yan asked suspiciously:

"Didn't you learn a good lesson? Why are you in such a hurry? ”

I stuck out my tongue and laughed:

"The soldier of 01 years is two years earlier than me, it stands to reason that I have to call him a squad leader, don't hurry to leave, do you want to teach me a lesson when he finds out?"

reunion, there is always a warm compliment: what has not been seen for so long, more and more beautiful,, are you thinner than before, have you eaten feed, why are you so round, etc., after the compliment, it is an embarrassing cold field.

After I saw Qiu Yan turn her head with an embarrassed face, I asked softly:

"Uncle's illness?"

Before Qiu Yan could answer, Xiang Wei shook his head at me.

Qiu Yan saw Xiang Wei's move, and didn't stop it, just smiled plainly:

"My dad died, just a few years ago!"

After Qiu Yan finished speaking, Xiang Wei also sighed.

"It's you······ Is that what you say? "I don't know how to put it.

"Hehe, you're trying to ask if my dad has turned into a dry corpse?" Qiu Yan's tone was as if she was talking about someone who had nothing to do with her.

I nodded.

Qiu Yan also nodded.

"I'm sorry!"

Qiu Yan sat in the passenger seat, and I couldn't read her expression clearly.

"It's okay, it's important later, isn't it?" Qiu Yan turned around and smiled at me, but I could clearly see tears in the corners of her eyes.
