The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror, and was quite surprised to see these young people when he just got into the car, and they didn't look like people from that town.

He retracted his gaze and said, "An hour." ”

Jiang Futing tightened his hand, and his heart suddenly sudden: "So long?" ”

The driver seemed to be in a hurry when he saw what he meant, and explained: "Isn't it snowing yesterday, I can't drive too fast today, maybe fifty minutes, if I put it in the usual thirty minutes, it will be there." ”

Jiang Futing understood what he meant and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, master." ”

He sat back in his seat and looked at his phone again, this trip was half past nine, according to the distance estimate, originally planned to try to get to the village at half past twelve, now it is estimated that it will be one o'clock in the afternoon.

Bai Tang kept his eyes closed and pretended to sleep, heard the conversation they had just now, and waited for him to sit down and leaned his head on his shoulder: "This road should be right, it will be so long for you to rest." ”

"Hmm." Jiang Futing took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to him.

After Bai Tang took it, he took out two more and threw them directly into the back seat, Ning Qiuyu reacted quickly and took them, spreading his palm at Ning Yuan, "Here you go." ”

Ning Yuan stretched out his hand in a trance, and deliberately touched Ning Qiuyu's hand when he grabbed the candy, but he didn't feel any touch, as expected, but he was a little disappointed.

He peeled off the candy and swallowed one, swallowed it for a few seconds and chewed it hard with his teeth, and when he swallowed it, he didn't even taste what the sugar tasted like.

"Brother." Ning Qiuyu watched him rattle the candy and sighed, "Your teeth are so good." ”

Ning Yuan was amused by her words: "If my teeth are not good at my age, won't they fall out in ten years!" ”

"That's right, after all, you used to be an outlier who ate ribs and didn't eat meat, and only gnawed bones." She remembered the previous things and was happy: "I always say that you are a dog!" ”

"The bones are so fragrant and nutritious, and the crispy bones are chewy." Ning Yuan smiled and compared with her.

Ning Qiuyu gave a puzzled roll of his eyes: "Our whole family is what you like." ”

Ning Yuan smiled, peeled off another candy, and slowly took it in his mouth, he looked at the vast white expanse outside, and his heart seemed to be covered with white mist: "What are you looking for when you go there?" ”

The smile at the end of Ning Qiuyu's eyes suddenly froze, and then relaxed: "Look for my bones." In the winter, she was also cold. ”

Ning Yuan's heart was suddenly dug hard, and there was a throbbing pain.

He looked at the road in front of him, he felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart, his eyes quickly sour, he suddenly didn't want to see Ning Qiuyu's corpse, he felt that Ning Qiuyu in front of him was very good.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could continue to live like this in the future?

As if to penetrate his thoughts, Ning Qiuyu sighed softly: "Mom and Dad have been waiting for so long, they should also wait for a result." ”

She looked at him with a complicated expression, some things can be avoided if you don't listen, don't look, don't want to, when will his brother understand this: "Brother, I'm a ghost, I can't stay here forever, I will have a place where I should go."

。 ”

Her words were so direct that Ning Yuan was a little surprised, he was not ready, he grabbed the corner of his clothes hard.

Even if he knew that she was a ghost, even if he knew that she was dead, but now that he could see her and hear her, he would not feel that she had left this world.

Ning Yuan suddenly thought of something, his confused eyes gathered, and he said to her uneasily and expectantly: "Don't forget to continue playing cards at night when you come back,"

He also swore an oath: "Don't worry! Tonight I will certainly not easily fall into the way of others, and I will certainly not let you be disappointed! ”

This promise was a bit too heavy, Ning Qiuyu didn't dare to respond casually, she hesitated a little embarrassed, and replied with a faint smile.

Ning Yuan seemed to feel something, opened his mouth, but the words behind him couldn't be spoken, but the cold wind whistling outside the car was like a galloping Jin Ge iron horse, stepping on his heart, shaking his heart.

The time to get to the town was slightly earlier than the driver's estimate, and when Jiang Futing looked at the time, it took about forty-five minutes.

The town feels a bit like Fort Lane, but the houses are wider than the broken houses in the alley.

The road is relatively wide, and most of the houses are self-built tube buildings, and each one is a family.

Including the shops that are open, the first floor is the façade, and the top is the house where you live, and only the most prosperous places in the town have the real estate of the developer, but at most it occupies that street.

There was litter of garbage everywhere on the street, and there were rows of stalls on each side of the road, young and old, half of whom were selling their own food.

At the mouth of the alley, rickshaws are parked everywhere on the road.

Jiang Futing felt that it was quite amazing, there were still rickshaws in this era, and he saw very few of them when he returned to Xu Ping's era.

Long enough to resemble something from the last century.

He didn't expect that there was such a lagging place on the edge of City A, and he followed the way to get to the village according to the Internet search, rickshaws, motorcycles, and minibuses.

However, there are fewer minibuses, and it takes about half an hour to go, and how long it takes to wait depends on luck.

Jiang Futing turned on his mobile phone and confirmed the street entrance of the inferior car and the name of the car that should be taken.

Hengshan Town to Qingyuan Town.

He memorized his name, put away his mobile phone and suddenly asked the people around him, "Do you have any cash on you?" ”

Bai Tang looked at the sky and said how could he have such a thing.

Ning Yuan took out his clothes and pants, "No." ”

Jiang Futing glanced at the direction of the car, except for a few private cars, there was no shadow of any minibus, "You wait, I'll go and redeem some." ”

He ran several small shops in a row before he found a slightly younger owner, which sold rice cakes, a large one, with vegetables in it a bit like dumplings.

This is the cake that Ning Qiuyu said in his mouth, and he saw a lot of this point when the car came all the way.

"What is this?" Jiang Futing pointed to the contents of the steamer.

The boss glanced at him, his expression was a little obscure: "Rice dumplings." ”

The other party's eyes made him frown a little uncomfortably: "Fang."

Can I pay by mobile phone and exchange some cash? ”

The prying eyes in the boss's eyes quickly subsided, he nodded, and took out a QR code sign with some dust from the drawer and gave it to him: "Yes." ”

Jiang Futing took out his mobile phone, "Get me three and pack them separately." Another 100 change, how much is it? ”

"Just give me a total of one hundred and nine." The boss packed the things and enthusiastically handed over the bag.

Jiang Futing stretched out his index finger and hooked the bag. Hand him his payment page.

"Good! Good! When the boss saw that the money had arrived, he smiled and rummaged through the change: "Young man, don't you look like a person from the town?" ”

Jiang Futing frowned: "Come and see your classmates." ”

"Which village?" The boss handed him the money he had counted: "Click it." ”

"No." Jiang Futing took it coldly, turned around and left without hesitation, and he didn't take a few steps before he heard the boss behind him say: "Then you can go back after reading your classmates, don't stay here for a long time." ”

The voice sounded like an exhortation, like a warning.

His heart fluctuated slightly, and he continued to stride forward, the look on his face was like this ice and snow, but the boss's words were indeed thought-provoking.

The population of this town is not very large, whether you start by bus or walk all the way here.

Occasionally, young people, all of whom are about thirty years old or older, and the people selling things on the street are middle-aged men in their fifties and sixties, probably because they have been doing rough work for a long time, like old men in their seventies and eighties, with their backs bent.

Only then did he realize that he hadn't seen a few women on the way into town.

Rushing back to the place where he was waiting for the bus, he divided the rice dumplings that were still steaming and asked, "You didn't miss the car just now, did you?" ”

Bai Tang didn't eat much in the morning, he was already hungry, he devoured two big mouthfuls, and said vaguely: "No, no!"

"That's good." Jiang Futing put his mind at ease, standing on the street and eating, he always felt unsightly, and kept holding his share in his hands and waiting for the car to talk.

Ning Yuan was holding the slightly hot rice dumplings in his hands in both hands, a little distracted, he had overheard their conversation in the morning.

At that time, her sister ate the same food, and the same food in their hands did not mean that they were not far from her corpse.

He took a small bite and thought: Qiu Yu ate this rice dumpling with such a scared mood at the beginning, does it still taste good under that situation?

Ning Yuan chewed very slowly, as if he was eating a rare delicacy.

The moment his teeth grind the food, the unique fragrance of wild vegetables permeates his mouth, but the taste is like chewing wax, which is difficult to swallow.

walked the road she had walked and eaten what she had eaten, so that the distance between the two of them could be a little, a little closer?

Ning Qiuyu took all his absent-mindedness into his eyes, Ning Yuan looked as if he had been eating, and five minutes had passed, but at most he had taken six or seven bites, and they were all on the edge of rice dumplings.

She asked softly, "Brother, do you think it's not delicious?" ”

Ning Yuan was worried that she would notice her abnormality, so she scratched her nose and hurriedly explained with a smile,

"No, maybe I haven't finished my breakfast yet."

"I just said that when I ate it before, I thought it tasted pretty good."

Ning Qiuyu couldn't help but praise, probably because the impression of that night was too deep, and even the memory of what he had eaten was very deep.

"The vegetables they have here are only available in this place, they grow and sell them at home, which is not polluting and nutritious."

"Yes." Ning Yuan nodded cooperatively, deliberately took a big bite, and his eyebrows and eyes were bent deeper.

When she laughs, he laughs, and she laughs, regardless of whether she wants to do it or not.

"It's really delicious." He followed the praise, but the bitterness in his heart came up, and even the taste of the food became bitter.

After waiting for about another ten minutes, Ning Yuan's hand had already finished eating, and Bai Tangzui still wanted to come over from Jiang Futing with a dead face.

He buzzed around beside Jiang Futing like a mosquito, and Jiang Futing stood with his hands in order to protect his food, turning around from time to time to avoid him.

Later, I was really noisy, and I couldn't bear it impatiently and said, "After getting in the car, I will divide you in half." ”

As soon as they finished speaking, a tattered minibus drove up and down in their sight.
